DEATH OF A MANIAC.

He is Struck by One Of His Keepers
and Dies From the Effect.
At half past o'clock Friday evening, Hugh
Ansbury aged slxty-five years, died at the
City Insane Asylum, on Common street. near
Broad, from the effects Of blow administered
by Max Blanque, one Of the keepers, with his
naked fist.
When the reporter reached the hospital the
body Of the deceased was lying on one OF the
galleries Of the institution wrapped in sheet.
On removing the sheet the body OF 9 we'll
built man was presented to view. On ex-
amining it no marks Of violence were visible
An investigation by Coroner Marley, Adj
ministrator Chevalley and Capt. John Pooley
resulted as follows: Ansbury, the deceased,
was a mechanic by occupation and had been
an inmate Of the asylum for the past eight
months. He was a man OF powerful strength
and very violent temper, and consequently
had to be closely watched. His insanity was
caused by the belief that he had an enemy
bolc acid on him, and whenever this belief
got possession OF him he would single out
some one In the asylum and attempt to as
sault him.
Friday morning at 7 o'clock Ansbury had
lust finished his breakfast when he advanced
on Mr. Blanque il a defiant manner and de-
manded more bread. Blanque told him that
he had had enough bread, and that he could
have no more.
Upon being refused, Ansbury became very
violent, and, uttering an oath, made pass
at the keeper. Mr.. Blanque ordered him into
the yard. Ansbury declined to obey the or
der, and, advancing on Mr.. Blanque, struck
at him with all his might. Mr.. Blanque
warded off the blow, and, at the same time
striking Ansbury under the ear, knocked him
senseless to the floor.
Three other Of the inmates came to the
rescue Of their fallen cOmrade, and were
about to attack Mr.. Blanque, when they were
prevented by Warden Van Roolan.
AS soon as it was discovered that Ansbury
was seriously injured, he was placed in his
bed and Dr.. Chastant summoned. The doc
tor upon arriving found the patient para
lyzed and in dying condition. and after pre-
scribing for him left.
The wounded man fingered until kalf-past
o'clock Friday evening, when he died. An
autopsy was held by the city physician, and
death was found to have resulted from a blow
on the neck, causing luxation of the atlas
and the axis Of the first and second vertebra,
! producing paralysis and death.
Mr.. Blanque, after the autopsy, surrendered
| to Capt. Gill, and upon being arraigned be-
fore Judge Sheehan, was remanded to the
Parish Prison, without the benefit Of bail, to
await the coroner's inquest.

A few OF our DemmatimocraNcal orators,
who are ~ yet unknown to famo, but who see
in themselves embryo statesmen, are presum-

Assup ing that the men Of Waverly don't know
enough to vote for whom they please for town

meetings in which they have endeavored go to
excite the people, by talking reasonable, COM

They have called an act OF the U. s. Marshal
against Mr.. A. c. Nixon, personal grudge
gotten up for political capital, when the truth
Is that the Republicans refrained for six
months from making ont papers against Mr..
Nixon, because II might be called persecution.
The party, through It's leaders, has never made
demand OF Mr.. Nixon, has once stopped the
papers-much against their own conscience
at tho earnest solicitation Of Mr.. Nixon him
self. Juss Why Mr.. Nixon was go anxious to
do most anything rather than stand the test
we will leave his friends to Judge, while we
are satisfied to see fair trial. which We know
he will have, and will not allow sympathy to
stand between us and punishment for perjury
II it be proven against him. Who would?
But were this their only party howl We were
done. Their orators( y have yelled themselves
bosrse, TO make the people believe what they
know to he a mistake, and what the coalition
did not dare resolved against, that resumption
is failure. To prove IT. they give such evil
dence as the following, and we give the truth
OF the matter Mr.. Willis Buck says he has
repeatedly tried-perhaps not but once, but
has trled-to get gold for paper money at the
whom. rays, of Frank McEntee. Now Frank
knows Mr.. Buck, and denies it, while Cashier
Stevens says no one has been refused the gold
for paper SINCE Jan. l, 70. How's that? Mr..
Buck has further astonshed his hearers, by
telling them that Secretary Sherman is calling
IN all the small bills and issuing $1,000 bills In
make shange the oitenest OF any class OF men.
How is that? / guess dars so. Again he
saws President Hayes was hired to veto the
Chinese Bill. How's that But Mr.. Russo Il
Parker caps the clirnax,-now don't call this
persecution-when he tells us OF how you can
get gold only by sending fifty dollars at time
to New York or Washington; and that our
hard money friend Hawkins tried in Lansing
to get little gold, because he hadn't seen any
for long time, but could not get it. Mr.
HAWKINS says no. How is that? Does the
National Flat-Labor Reform party have to re-
sort to such talk to gain party ends We had
looked for different kind Of reform. guess

red ribbon reform in their super visor, II any
man will examine, from beginning to end
their records in oar township affairs, and not
