JOHN SHERMAN visited Garfield at
Mentor on Saturday, and had a con-
sultation, but the newspaper report
ers by the most persistent pumping,
were unable to make him give down.
SEVEN thousand. miles OF new rail

anything on record for single year.
1881 promises to excel this rate.
THE boiler house of the Valley Roll
ing Mill of Youngstown, was entirely
destroyed by fire about 4 O'Clock Sun
day morning. Loss, about $4,000 :;
insurance, $4,000. The mill will be
idle ten days or two weeks in conss-
qusnce.
The large boiler in the dry goods
store of McCreary x Co., Broadway
and Eleventh street, New York, ex-
ploded last evening. The buildings in
the immediate vicinity were shaken as
by an earthquake, and considerable
damage was done by flying fragments.
There was sufficient water in the boil

steam.

of the I34 .072 children in the puciic
schools last year, speaks volumes for

politics. According to the Charleston
Courier, he is acquiring his own home,
even if nothing more than log hut
and truck patch. Better relations are
year by year developing between the
races, and tho Courier says the kuklux
is "only horrible memory OF the
past"

LIVERPOOL, May 12.-J. X. Emmet. the
actor, has broken his engagement and has
been placed in lunatic asylum.
LIVERPOOL, May 12.-Mr. Emmett was
released to-day. When he was conveyed
to the workhouse hospital Yesterday after
noon in semi.deirious state he mistook
its gloomy corridors for the luxurious
spendor Of hotel, and kept crying for
drink. He was placed in a room by
himself in the lunatic ward, an
apartment devoted to the better class
OF patients being selected. An expert
enced attendant was told to see to
his requirements. About two hours after
his admission he became conscious OF his
whereabouts and was greatly moved and
shame-stricken. DR.. Kellett Smith, his
chief medical attendant at the Washington
Hotel, signed the certificate for his removal
to the hospital. This morning Mr.. Emmett
was much better, and demanded to be re-
leased. Although DR.. Forbes, the senior
house surgeon, c0unselled him TO remain
until tomorrow, be did not feel justified
in retaining him, in view Of the improve
ment in Mr.. Emme's condition. Mr. EN-
met was therefore liberated and left the
building with his friends. He returned
to the Washington Hotel, aud this evening
took walk with his manager, Mr.. Wilton,
visiting the minstrel troupe at ST. James
Hall. He leaves here tomorrow morning
to recuperate az Llaydudno, a delightful
and popular watering-place in the north OF
Wales. He will be accompanied by his
friend, Mr.. Atkinson; Mr.. Wilton, his man
ager; and MIR. Coady, bis stage. carpenter.
The latest accounts about Mr.. Emmett say
that he looks astonsbingly we'll after what
he has gone through. The Alexandra
Theatre will remain closed until Monday,
when 1t is hoped that Mr.. Emmet will APP
pear without further mlsadventure.
