A SAD CASE.

AN INSANE YOUNG MAN FROM NEW
YORK FOUND WANDERING In WILL
MINGTON.
At Front and French steets, yesterday
afternoon, officer Richardson found a
young man wanderindg aimlessly around
talking TO himself, wildly gesticulating
aud giving every evidence of being affect
cd BY insanity. The officer at once
determined TO convey him TO the police
station. The young man quietly sub
mltted 10 arrest, aud was soon safely
confined in the Guy Hall.
He gave his name as walter Baker
but atterwards said his fathers name
was Joseph Bareski, and that he lived
OH Alderman street, New York city. The
young man was OF good appearance aud
veil dressed, though he had only forty
five cents in money when taken to the
hall. lie told Sergeant Whalen that he
came from Wards Island, New York
where he was al inmate Of Ward X,
and spoke very freely Of Comm lssioner
Brainard and DIR. Mcdonald. He also
spoke Of DIR. Macalister, ofSixth Avenue
New York, as being instrumental in hay
lug him sent to Wards Island.
During last evening the young man dis
played the most pItiaOle evidences OF
hopeless insanity. AT times lie talked
with apparent nationality, but soon the
yagaries OF his disordered brain would
gllmmerlng of reason. No amount
overcome the faint of argument could
convince him that he was not In bis
usual quarter At Wards Island and he
positively refused all food offered him
lJr fear il contained poison even when
sergeant Whalen attempted 10 convince
him TO the contrary by eating portion
of it himself, he persisted in his Erefusal
nor would he take drink Of water for
the same fear.
1t was plainly apparent that the
young man had been highly educated.
His native tongue appeared 70 be Ger.
man, but he spoke English fluent
Iy and with only foreign accent. He
spoke Italian like a native, and held
quite an animated conversation with
the Italian fruit dealer at Sixth and
Market streets, who was sent for To
draw out from him exactly where his
parents resided. This part of the ex
pertinent, however, failed, as the
young man cunningly resisted all ef-
iorts TO entrap him into revealing this
important information.
Baker said he was born in Trieste,
Austria, and that he came to this
country from Marseilles, France, in
1876. He had been an inmate of
Wards Island during the Spring. At
intervals, last night, he entertained
himself by reoiting Latin chants and
prayers.
Sergeant Whelan sent word by ielen
graph to Wards Island, and DIR. ogle
obtained an order for the admission of
the young man to the insane depart
ment of the County Almsheuse, where
he will be taken to-day.

The Coroner Investig tigates

Coroner Weldin and DIR. Ogle, last
night, investigated the death of Mi
chael Kane, who was killed by the
collision ON the Delaware Railroad
last Tuesday evening. The facts oi
the accident, as already detailed in
the GAZETTE, were presented to the
Coroner, and it appearing to him
that the collision was purely acci-
dental, and that Kane's death could
not be attributed to any carelessness
on the part of the train hands, he
deemed it unnecessary to hold an
inquest, and issued the required Ger.
tihcate of death.

SECOND EDITION
BURIED IN PoTTER's FIELD.
A PHILADELPHIA CLERGYMAN DIES
FROM SMALLPOX IN NEW YORK.

FROM SMALLPOX IN NEW YORK.
NEW YORK, Feb. 16.-The man who
died recently at the Flatbash Smallpox
Hospital and who refused to give any
information concerning himself beyond
the fact that his name was Pool, has
been identified as the Rev. George FL.
Pool, an evangelist, and at one tiiae a
prominent clergyman OF Philadelphia.
After DR.. Schenck, who has charge of
the hospital, lost all hope of saving the
unfortunate mans life, he went to him
and requested his full! name and place
of residence. "Why, you DO Lot think
am going to die !" exclaimed Mr.. Pool
The doctor, fearing to excite him by in
forming him of his exact condition,
ended the question and quietly moved
away. Mr.. Pool died soon af.er and
his remains were inferred In Potter's
Field. A reporter learned that the de-
ceased gentleman had occupied fur
nished room at No. 1856 Jay street,
Brooklyn, called there and had o conyer-
sation with the parties of whom he en-
gagged the apartment. They say that he
was single man, about fifty-fve years
of age, and had at one time occupied
the pulpit Of the First Presbyterian
church of Philadelphia. He was com.
pelled to relinquish his charge on ac-
count of i'll health, and subsequently
became an evangelist. In this work be
was very successful and accomplished
much good. Some time ago he visited
Brooklyn on business, intending to re-
main but two or three weeks. His affairs
were not SO easily adjusted as he antici-
pated, and as his stay was extended sew
eral weeks beyond the time mentioned.
During his stay and up to the time oil
his illness he attended the meetings at
Mr.. Beecher's, Mr.. Talmsge's aud other
churches. Before his removal to the
hospital he received the klndest atten-
lioD from the inmates of the house.
Mr.. Pool was possessed of some prop
erty in Philadelphia and also at the
West. He was well-educated man,
and at the time of his death was engag
ed in writing religious book. Tie
task had almost been completed when
he was attacked with the terrible NAL
ady. Mr.. Pool, it is said, was a benevo-
lent, kind hearted man and a most ex-
emplary Christian. 1t is supposed that
relatives of the unfortunate man reside
in Philadelphia, aud letters have been
sent 20 that city.

PASSAGE By YHE SENATE OF THE
HOUSE FUNDING BILL.

hSOb@ FONOANd blLAs
WARRINGTON, February 18.-The
passage of the funding bill through the
Senate with 3 per cent. as the rate of
interest and with the Carlisle amend
meat, is not great surprise, because
the vote yesterday demonstrated that
it would be done. The final vote was
taken at Q O'Clock, and all the Demo-
Gratis voted for The bill virtually as it
came from the House, although some
of them were in favor of the Finance
Committee amendments. This is con-
sidered great victory for Speaker
Randall, who is mainly instrumental,
in connection with the late Fernando
Wood, in framing and passing the bill
through the House. The retention of
the Carlisle amendment requiring the
national banks to deposit these bonds
as security for their circulation is not
looked upon favsrably by financiers
here. The House is likely to agree to
the Senate amendments, bat some
doubt is expressed about The signature
of the President. 1t il said by some
people who profess to know that he
will veto the bill.

that old monster, Delaware College,
has tramped into Dover again. Now
he wants SIS, 900 to repair his house

per year to educate thirty boys over
l6 years of age for school teachers.
This old fellow must be in his do
tage to suppose the Legislature of
Delaware has no better eye to bust.
ness than to make such one sided
contracts. Take the boys at 16 and
that leaves five years each at twen-
ty-one, and $4,000 for five wears
makes $40 900, and then add SIS, 900
for remodelling and repairing said
college and you have the grand to-
tai of $4,000. Then where is the
security for value in return for this
outlay3 Not one cent, for no boy
the moment he Is 81 years of age is
bound to teach one day. Neither
his father, guardian or himself can
make legal contract that will bind
the boy one hour after he is 81 years
of age; and further is it Democracy
or any decent Republicanism to
pick out thirty boys out of all the
boys of the State to confer special
education at the expense of the gen.
eral taxpayers money. Such law
making giving special privileges to
the few at the expense of the many
