A KENTUCKY MADMAN
Makes Things Interesting In Pa
ducah.

LOUISVILLE, March pa Paducah
special to the Courier Journal says: Some
weeks ago l telegraphsd about Jno.
ject to fits supposed to have been caused
by the bite Of a dog some years ago and
of his attempt to kill his wife. He
recovered from that spell and was all
right until Thursday afternoon, when he
became wild and told her he felt impell-
ed to kill her, and il she did not get out
OF his way he would do so. He ran off
and took to the woods irenzied maniac
At 9 o'clock that night he reached Mo-
sale, a town nine miles from Paducah,
and procuring an axe and pitchfork, he
attempted TO enter the house OF Samuel
G. Halsen, who was absent, but whose
wife and five children were in the
house, but failing TO gain an entrance at
the door he went to the window, and
while attempting to get in, Mrs. Halsen
snapped two barrels OF a gun at him,
but it did not 90 of. She then struck
him with the butt end OF the gun as
be came through the window, breaking
of the stock OF the gun. He jumped
into the room and struck at the woman
with an axe, but being too close the
handle struck her head and the axe
flew out OF his hand. He then
knocked her down and seiz.
ing his pitchfork was in
the act OF killing her, when, aroused by
her screams, the neighbors came to her
rescue. One OF them struck Humphreys
on the head with stick, stunning HIM
sufficiently to give the woman time to
get out of doors, and he soon followed
her, when chase was given and he was
captured, secured ana brought here and
lodged in Jail for public safety. Mrs.
Halsen is snciente, and it is is thought
that the wounding and fright she re-
ceived will prove fatal to her. Her con-
dition to-day is critical.

The Victims VIII Number Over One
Hundred.
New York, March pa Paris special
says: A very incomplete list OF the per-
sons who persisted at the Nice fire has
been published. Among the names are

ling and Nine. McQuay, the latter said
to be English. Nice Is in mourning, and
the papers appeared with black borders.
The whole population Ofthe town turned
out yesterday to attend the funeral OF
the victims. The spectacle was solemn
and affecting in the extreme. The Mayor
made speech at the cemetery thanking
the troops and tiremen for the gallantry
displayed and earnestly appealing Tor
subscriptions to the relief fund. Several
more bodies have been found in the
ruins. The victims will number over
one hundred. Seven sailors and num-
ber OF foreigners are missing. No Ame-

One Hundred Thousand Dollars
Wanted From a Bank Presi-

CoLUMnUs, O., March 26.-The even
ing papers publish the statement OF G.
Sessions, President of the Commercial
Bank, that he received letter demand
ing that he shall contribute 100000 to
the four men who prepared the letter, or
to expect to be murdered. The letter is
written in disguised hand, and is be-
lieved by the police to be a genuine at
tempt at blsckmail. Persistent attempts
to discover the sender OF the letter, have
thus far failed to develope anything but
suspicion.

TO KILL PLANT INSECTS.

The best remedy for green fly is fumi-
cation with tobacco. Some soft wood
I'd plants, such as salvias, heliotropes,
etc., will not bear fumigation without
injuring their leaves, and for these a
weak solution is quite efiectual. Steep
some tobacco in water, then sprinkle
the plant with the solution and after
wards syringe with clear water. A lit
tle turpentine diluted with water Zone
part to sixteen) will destroy the mealy
bug. The red spider is a very small in
sect, revealing its presence by the brown
appearance of the leaves. Sprinkle
your plants often and you will not be
troubled with red spider, but where
ever the air is dry and close, there is his
delight. Alcohol applied with CAM
el's-hair brush will kill any insect it
t5uches. Plants treated with these
remedies must be syringed Immediate
ly thereafter with clear water. To kill
white worms in flower pots take COM
mon lime, dissolve il, and pour the
liquid on the soil. II does not injure
the plants at all.

All bulbs and plants that lie down to
tie ground in autumn may be protected
BY covering the surface of the earth
with leaves, or manure, or straw, but
plants that retain their leaves during
the winter will not bear this kind of
protection. A few evergreen boughs
thrown over the beds, a little straw be-
tween the plants, or some light, open
covering of this kind, is all they will
1h1ar without injury. We hsve seen
more plants smotbered and rotted by
heavy covering than saved.

i Cinnamon FIocking to Australia.

Within the last fortnight upward OF
1900 Chinese have arrived, and there is
now a very large number afloat en- route
from Hong Kong to this colony. The
Chinese who are here explain that the
exodus from the home country is occa-
stoned by the great depression which
exists there. The newcomers are
ignorant people, who are unable
to either read or write. 1t is
only by great self-denial that they
are able to scrape together enough
money (about f8, we believe,) to pay
for their passage, and the great part OF
them are almost penniless when they
land here. Some of the Chinese mer-
chants in Sydney believe that before
the year is out 10000 Chinese will land
at this port unless, some check can be
put upon the inflow. Instead OF
being, as many people think, a
source of profit to the Chinese en-
ployers of labor here, the immigrants
prove a serious burden, for they have to
be housed and fed until they can be sent
or forced to go into the country. The
majority of Chinese merchants and resi-
dents in Sydney are laverse to the whole
sale importation of Chinese to this colo
ny, such as is now taking place. Sgd
