Used at st. LOUIS. to Make q Man
Talk.

Whether true or false, the allega-
tons against the city hospital man.
agement in connection with the
case of Casper Stroebel are rather
interesting. The statement of one Of
the assistant physicians is to the effect
that SlrOebel was brought to the hos
pital in rather stupid condition. suf-
ering with rheumatism. He would
not talk, and as he was known as a
chronic case it was supposed he was
playing the deaf and dumb racket for
some purpose. He was accordingly
subjected to the action of q galvanic
battery tor the expressed purpose of
making him talk" When the shock
was applied the man responded to the
action ofthe salvanic current in the
usual way. His hands gripped the
handles like a vice and his limbs
,rembled under the thrill of the bat
terry. but he spoke not. it was an
obstinate case and the force of the
shock was intensified. The man
wri,hed under the torture, his legs
bent double and his knees sought
company with his chin. put still he
only gave out an incOhercnt utterance
like dummy. A very severe and
prolonged application Of the battery
failed to make him talk. He was
finally placed in a ward, where he
died soon afterwards. A post mortem
examination showed that he had a
:umor in the left third convOlution Of
the anterior of the brain.

Robbery Near Armstrong.

A bold highway robbery WIS perpe-
trated near the village of Armstrong
last night by four mounted men who
did the work with such professional
dispatch that many fixed them rs the
james boys. The victim was Mr..
Cogan, one OF the clerks at the shops,
who was returning from work to his
home in Wyandotte. between s aud 8
o'clock. He was suddenly confronted
by the men who had tied their horses
to the fence and advanced upon him
on foot with the demand for money or
blood. They were heavily armed and
50 evidently meant business that the
victim went down and produced his
roll of s35. which the robbers hastily
seized and mounting post haste gal
loped across the bridge and out Of
sight. The men were masked aud it
would be impossible for Cogan TO
any Of them. The robbery
created great excitement and efforts

The most interesting event Of the
Scotch shooting season, which closed
recently, was the census taken by Mr..
Bass foresters Of the deer in the for
est Of Glenquoich, in Invernesshire,
which he leases Of Mr.. Ellice of H.
vergarry at 81 800 q year, and which
extends over some $4,000 acres.
They estimated the inhabitants at
about 1900 head-9OO stays, and
nearly double that quantity OF kinds
which is a very large number when
compared with the figures in Mr..
Scropes work on der stalking, pub
lished some thirty years ago, when be
{ ,,imated the deer in the famous
Black Mount Forest. which covers
nearly 10000 acres, at 1880 head,
and in the island of Jura forests of
100, 900 acres we're supposed to con-
tain only 500 deer. There is also
reason to believe that while the deer
have largely Increased in number.
hey have not in any way deteriorated 4;
md this may be attributed to the fact
hat in many large forests there have
been frequent infasions Of new blood.

General Superintendent Talmsge.

General superintendent Talmsge.
The Railrosder, . monthly journal de.
voted to the interests of railroad employee
published 1t Toledo, has the following to
say of Mr.. A. A. Talmsge: 1t is q fact
possibly not now known even to his old
associates, that some twenty-five or twenty
three years ago, Mr.. A. A. Tslmage, the
great western railway manager, was brake
man on the Lake Shore road 1t salary Of
SIS per month and, in the rough and
tumble battle of life, took even chances
along the lines and in the Toledo and
Cleveland yards with the other brskemen
of the company. From the Lake Shore,
We believe. MI. Talmage went to the Indi-
annapolis and St. Louis road, where he
passed through the grades of freight and
passenger conductor up to that of assist
ant superintendent He is now the general
manager of 1900 miles of railroad,
and will. in all probability, ere twelve
months have elapsed, be given charge
of the whole Of Mr.. Gould's vast rail-
way system from 81. Louis to the Mexican
capital, thereby being placed in the most
exalted position he'd BY any railway man
ager In the world. The brilliant career OF
this gentleman, Who has risen from an
humble place to IN Office approaching 10
power patronage and emolument that Of the
president of the United States. is IN illus
trstion Of What every steady, sober and in
telligsnt railway employe may accomplish
If be will strive to rise in his profession.
