\ STRANGE CASE.-ShOrtly after
seven O'Clock last evening Mayor Me-
graw was visited by neatly-dreSsed,
respectable-looking man of about thirty
four years of age, who requested to lie
placed in the lookup, as he feared he
was losing his mind, and might do him
self or some other,person an injury. He
said that he is the engineerin one of our
largest machine shops. He also gave
his name and place of residence. He
stated that on Saturday his wife had
told him there was some rent due on
the house, which angered him. so that
he made use of an oath, something that
he has not done for many years. This
so troubled him that he believed he was
becoming insane. When he crossed the
bridge he could hardly withstand the
desire to leap into the river, and for
fear he might hurt himself or member
of his family, he was careful to put all
sharp instruments beyond his reach.
His Honor cOnYersed with him some
and he talked so nationally that he hes
itated about placing the man in the
lookup. Finally, however, he granted
the mans request, in SO far as to lock
him up in the hospital department.
The mans friends Will be notified of the
matter to-day. Pittsburgh Commercial

IT is a great mistake To suppose that
when a man. after years Of plotting and
succeeds in being
elected to the United States Senate he
will discharge his part of the contractby
remaining at Washington and attending
to his duties. \ great many of them are
habituaIv absent from their seats, some
being at their homes and others in Bal
timOre. Philadelphia. or New \ ork. As
a result of this absenteeism by Demo-
cratic members and the refusal of the
Republicans to vote. the Senate one day
last week was without n quorum and all
its business was arrested. Although
the Democrats have a clear majority,
enough of them were scattered over the
country to render it impossible for those
who stood at their posts to prevent the
Republican members from getting the
advantage. 1t is a shame and an out
rage that at such an important stage as
this in the session Democrats viii so in
suit their constituents and endanger the
success of important party legislation.
On Il memorable occasion. when Ihad-
deus Stevens was the Republican leader
of the House. and when, owing to this
same habit of members being absent. he
could not rally votes enough to rush
through i'm his usual rOugh-shOd manner
pes measure. he gave a reason. OTigl-
nal with himself. for his utter inability
to keep his men, as hc called them,
in the House when he most wanted
them. hut as it might not be applicable
10 the Senate we refrain from stating it.

THE GREAT FRAUD.
HOW HAYES WAS TO HAVE BEEN IN
STALLED ''VI EFT ARMS"

A remarkable communication, signed
by Mr. John F. Mines, of Utica, y. y,
appeared in Thursdays New y Ork
World. 1t processes to give some inside
history of the closing acts of General
Grants administration. and sets forth
with mnutencSS of detail the plans
which had been arranged TO prevent the
inauguration of Mr.. Tilden. The au-
thority Mr.. Mines quotes is General
Stewart l.. WOodfOrd, who was appoint
ed United States district attorney at
New FORK by General Grant just before
his term of Office expired. 1t was a sur
prise to General Woodford's friends
that he accepted the office, but the
General now explains his action by say
ing that it was by special request of Gen.
Grant. who told him that he feared an
attempt would be made to seat Tildcn
by great popular uprising, and lie
wanted man in the place who would
not ScTUple to crush a mob. General
WoOdfOrd says Il believe that during
the month that closed the administration
of Grant and opened that of Hayes the
country stood on the brink of a civil
war more terrible than that which we
passed through, and 1t would have
drenched the whole North in blood. ."
He further declares his belief that a

New y York. and says: MY plans were
all laid Systematically. We had quietly
taken some very effective precautions
beforehand. Had Tilden attempted to
have carried out his comp r. etdt and had
himself inaugurated on the city hall
steps, my orders and intentions were to
seize him at once under warrant charg-
ing him with high treason, to convey
him secretly and securely on board a
government vessel lying in East river,
and ship him to Fort Adams or some
other secure point where he could un-
dergo his trial. While l was
in Washington | made arrangements
with Robeson not only to secure Tilden,
but to oyerawe the mob and shell them
out if necessary The General further
states that the custom house and sub
treasury were prepared for resistance ;
that troops were quietly brought from
the West and South and massed at WASH
ington, Fort McIIenTy and in New
York harbor; that Grant, Sherman,
Sheridan and other military men were
outspol1en i'll their opinion that the army
ought to be used for repressive measures,
though Sherman frankly expressed some
doubts in respect to the Democratic
tendencies of the rank and file. Grant
had determined to use every soldier,
sailor and guu at his command to put
down anything like a Democratic re-
belion.

KILLING HIS THREE CHILDRES.-A
Springfield (Mass) dispatch of June 21st
tells the following shocking story OF hopeless
poverty and terrible crime:
John Kcmmler. German, living at South Hol-
yoke shot his three children-Annie, aged six
years: I4udmilla. aged four years, and Amy, aged
year-this afternoon because he unable to
support them. He has been out of work since Feb
ruary. At that time he went to Colorado, but re-
Gently returned. and had been moved from tene
ment belonging to the Iicrmania Mills in which he
lived because he no longer worked in the mills.
About O'Clock he sent his wife on errand, and
calling his oldest child into the house tried to pol
son her with cyanide OF potassium, but she threw
up the dose. kimmler then took the second child
into the front bedroom and shot her through the
head back OF the with thirty-twO calibre five
shooter. Il took Annie to the rear bedroom and
shot her in like manner and left her on the floor
covered with blood. The younger girl was lying
the bed. He also shot her behind the ear, the
flash of the pistol burning the pillow. Leaving the
house he told saloOn-keeper what he had done,
and going to another saloon he there arrested
by Deputy Sheriff Kingsbury. After his arrest he
appeared quite cool and said he ready to let
the law take its course. lie said he could not sup
port his children. and he feared they would grow
up and lead evil lives and thought they would be
happier in heaven. He had planned for ten days to
kill them. He is collected and apparently sane.
Medical Examiner Tuttle will hold an inquest to-
morrow. The children will be buried at the eI-
penss of the city Mrs. Remmler is completely
overwhelmed with grief

mence criminal proceedings in the Court
of Quarter Sessions of Dauphin county
against Kemble and four other members

There may be good and valid reasons
for this delay on the part of the commit

cannot doubt that in good time it will
enter upon 4 vigorous and thorough pro-
Secution of its appointed work.
In connection with this subject. it is
proper to state rs a most singular over
sight on the part of the House, that
while it did not hesitate to direct the
prosecution of Kemble and his crew for
cOTuptly attempting to buy the votes of
members. it forgot to demand the crimi-
nal prosecution Of the accused members
themselves. The investigating COM
mittee pronounced them guilty. and the
House by majority vote. but not the
necessary two-thirdS. also declared them
guilty. and their escape from expulsion
was no bar under a plain provision of
the constitution to their conviction and
punishment in the courts. When Kem-
bic X Co. are put upon their trial i'm

is the right man in the right place. we

if the law requires the punishment of

demands the punishment Of the corrupt
Legislators who took them. or agreed TO
take them, and that he will act accord
