THE WESTON ASYLUM.
A Prominent and welI-KnOwn Repub-
liean Ready 10 Defend 1t.

To the Editor of the Register.
WESTON, August GA letter appears in
the hnteliigecer of to-day, written by some
idiot who signs himself "Quilp." The
name is suggestive. Charles Dickens made
it historical long before this bogus West
Virginia "Quilp" was heard Of; but then
characters must be alike. The scamp came
to Weston at the suggestion OF other
scamps, and without knowing anything of
what he was writing about, and paying no
attention to his busiHss except attempting
to get mash" on a young lady connected
with the asylum, who had too much sense
to listen to his nonsense, wrote letter
cOndemning the management of the hospi-
tai, the treatment of the patients, and de-
nounciDg everybody connected with it, ex-
Cept a few of his friends. The fellow is
a fool. He came here at $50
in the evening, left here at $50
in the morning, and in that time had
learned more about the Asylum than the
people of Weston ever knew! l am Re- |
publican and want to secure success as much |
as any one for my party, but when little de- |
fsmers OF men like DR.. Bland are sent on |
midpiShh sTgs9ds anu "nllh~ whom they |

his assault upon the old Doctor as a nasty |
tissue of lies, and am here ready to sub |

Over Two Hundred Western Union
wires DiSabled-NO Clue TO the
Authors Ofihe Mischief.
New YORK, August S.-Last night an.
other onslaught was made upon the wires
of the Western Union Telegraph Company,
the consequences of which are far more dis
astrous than that OF the preceding night.
Press Agent Somerville, OF the Western
Union, said this morning twenty wires
were cut on one route, and fourteen on an
other, between PassaiC and EliZabethpOrt,
n. J. These were wires to Philadelphia
and other points in the southern division.
Twenty OF the Mutual Union wires are
cut between Kings Bridge and Scarsdale.
At TarIytown twelve Hudson River wires
are down, and eighteen wires in Eastern
circuits are destroyed between Port Chester
and Greenwich, Conn. The cross'arms are
sawed off in the latter instance, and wires
cut besides. The first wires 10 go down
were those on the Eastern circuit which
we're lost about ll:3O o'clock last night
Others Went Down
shortly after midnight. A large force OF
linemen were sent out to repair the dam
age. and the lines are being repaired as
rapidly as possible. The cutting OF the
wires interfered with others across which
they fell, so that the greatest confusion
was created. For long time this morn.
ing, said Mr.. Somerville, work was greatly
delayed
Superintendent Humstone estimated that
when Woik was begun this morning, one.
half Of the wires to Philadelphia, one quar.
ter OF those to the West, and one third OF
the Eastern circuits could not be used
Tie whole number OF wires cut is %, but
nearly 200 are rendered useless in conse.
quenCe. \ telegram from Fort Washing
ton says a gang of meL had interfered with
linemtn who were repairing the wires
there. ard police protection has been asked
in ca the interference is repeated.
No Clue
hes vet been discovered of the authors OF
the mischief, although the greatest vigil
ance is being exercised. The Western
UnIon Company has employed detectives
to ferret out the perpetrators OF the wire
cutting. 1t is the general opinion that the
striking linemen are answerable for the in
juries The Company is considerably put
out by this new method OF warfare. At

Telegrsphers it was emphatically denied

sociation was held at their rooms, on
Fourth avenue, to-day. The attendance
was large. Nearly every mill in the Assoc.

of the trade was discussed at great length,
and from the general discussion the fact
was developed that the frequent suspen-

the nails that are still on hand are ill.as-

As the trade is always light at this season
there has been no difficulty in supplying
all who desired to purchase by drawing on
