ming at 81. Paul'S church. DR.. Bdnnister
is native Of Virginia, and grandson OF the

yeniion. Bv strange coincidence, yc.ter-

The y0ung man Flvnn, who is confined
in The city Jail as q dangerous lunatic. fan
cies himself 10 be king Of all the world;
and when il appears TO him, sitting IN that
capacity, that anybody IN particular ought
10 be put to death, he not only concludes
that il must be done at once, but undertakes
the lob ma person. His wife, TO whom he
had been married but few weeks, was one
Of his intended victims. Though a very
small man, such is bis frenzy that he has to
be heavily chained 10 keep him from smash
ing things generally.
The eplz0oty has assumed quite serious
turn here. The sick horses cannot be used
at ALL. A disease is prevalent among the
people which Is said 10 resemble tue eplZOo-
". Several 81 the physicians OF the city

among the horses.

that place, to morrow. As being the senior
clergyman OF the Conyocation, Mr.. Carson
is dean or president OF that body, and Rev.
J. j. Lloyd. of Liberty, is It's secretary.
Ii Is well did not make myself response
bic for the story Of the street-car horse that
was said TO have been sold to be food for the
circus lions. Some of the company were
greatly grieyed at the joke. and are spe-
cally anxious that il should be known that
the lions did not eat their dead car-hOTse.
The fact being now made public, the world
will wag on in peace.
