AVECTIM OF CURIOSITY.
A Young Man Becomes Maniac from
witnessing an Execution.

ST. LOUIS, January PA very sad and
singular result of one of the recent hang
ings in this city has just come to light. John
Irwin Casey, a young man aged twenty -one
years, a clerk on one of the upper Missouri
river steamboats,, witnessed the execution of
Katovisky and Ellis, in the jail-yard on Jun
uary 9Th, and was strongly affected by the
scene During the afternoon of that day he
was noticed by his friends to be wandering
in his mind, and talking continuously about
the execution. At night he became violent,
and it was found necessary to take him
from his clearinghouse to police head
quarters, when he was placed in a private
insane asylum. There he continued his vio-
ience and INDUCED in all kinds of acts of
strength until he brought on hemorrhage of
the lungs and last night he died. His father,
who lives in Toronto, Canada, was notified of
his sons condition and came here day or
two ago, and attended him during his last
moments. He says the boy was bright and
strong, both mentally and physically, and
he cannot account for the strange effect of

that certain trades, such as ship-carpenter-

and gloomily ask, what is to be done
about it2 ''Ii the Chinese come, questions

THE preparations in our theater5 for the
safety of audiences in case of fire continue
to challenge public attention. At the East
there is a growing demand for more and
easier exits and entrances. The Hartford
Co4rant, reY iewing the facts they have
been brought to light in all parts OF the
country, says the existing deficiencies are
due to parsimonious management. The de-
sire to save a few dollars is at the bottom OF
it. No one reform is more desirable than to
have all exits open at all times, and each
guarded by doorkeeper ready to let people
out at a moments notice.

THE effect of the burning of the Ring
theater, Vienna, upon the theaters OF Ger
many has been most disastrous. n Salz-
burg, two weeks ago, only thirty or forty
persons composed an audience. In the Tha-
liza theater in Hamburg, where usually there
is not even standing room on Sundays, there
were only fifty persons present at Sunday
performance three weeks ago. This theater
is in an exceptionally bad condition. The
gallery at the Stadt theater was almost
eApty. Ia Breslau the FIRE had a similar
s,----Iect, and in Prague it was found neces-
sary to close the local theater, because no
one came to see the play. The theater in
Presburg, an oil, remarkable structure, was
closed by the police, who found that il as
a regular man trap. In Pesth there were no
audience, an1 in Baden, near Vienna, on
one night not single ticket was sold. A
single reporter composed the entire audience.
