A BIG SCARE.
tempt to Blow up London Bridge
ne Damage Very Slight. but the
Affair Very Mysterious,

A special London cable of the 18th
says; "A terrific conclusion startled
the city at 5 40 o'clock this afternoon.
1t proved to be the result of an attempt
to blow up London bridge. The effort
resulted in failure and the structure
was uniniured. The damage done, as
tar as can be ascertained, is the destruc-
ton of perhaps ESQ worth of window
glass IN the warehouses on both banks
of the river. A number of lamp-posts
were twisted into fantastic shapes and
few travellers were knocked over. One
pedestrian, who was probably nearest to
the explosion, is said to have been
slightly bruised by being violently
thrown against the stone parapet of the
bridge. Had the outrage been carefully
planned, and had the perpetrators in
tended serious mischief, which is doubt
ed by police officials, the result must
have been appalling. London bridge
Is known to be the most crowded thor
oughfare in the world. Four lines of
vehicle traffic. are without difficulty kept
moving by policemen stationed within
few yards of each other, and the side
walks are proportionally crowded for
eighteen hours out of the twenty-four."

COmmOtiOn Caused by an Escaped
Jaguar Near Day ton, o.
On the evening of the 9th, Barrett's
circus passed through Dayton, o., on
its way east, but was stopped by the
burned Cleveland, Columbus, Cincin-
natl & Indianapolis railroad bridge
near Enon, seventeen miles from Day
ton. A monster jaguar escaped from
its cage, and was not heard of by its
owner, J. l.. Shoemate, until next
morning. The beast, finding itself re-
leased, fed rapidly across the country,
alarming people who were up late,
stampeding cattle. wounding many
and killing and sucking the blood of
others. About midnight the beast had
reached Dryden's mills, five miles
south of Dayton, where farmer, VIM.
Lesher, was awakened bya great COM
motion in his hog-pen. He got up,
with neighbor, gun and lantern,
found dead hog and the jaguar kill
ing another. The rest were squealing,
dashing against the pen and trying to
get out. He shot the animal in the
hind parts, and it jumped at the men
and chased them into the house. 1t
took a drink and fed down the pike
The whole country was alarmed, and
100 men with rifles and side-arms
searched all night. At daylight two
women signaled distress. The men
FASTENED to their relief and found and
shot the jaguar dead in an outhouse be-
longing to DR.. Whist, at Alexander.

Remarkable Teiegraphy.

A London contemporary supplies
some interesting particulars to the num-
Der of words transmitted by telegraph
to all pats of the kingdom on the oc-
casion of the prime minister's recent
visit to Edinburgh. On the evening of
Mr.. Gladstone's arrival, press messages
containing over 1900 words were
handed in at the telegraph department
of the general postofice, but the actual
number of words transmitted was over
$1,000, owing to the fact of the same
report being sent to more than one
newspaper. Mr.. Gladstone's visit to
the Forth bridge works led to the trans
mission of l2,CG0 words, and his move

Bedlam i'm a Van.

From the New York Herald.I
"We are all going to heaven, girls;
come on; get in quick"
A big furniture van stood in the yard
of the old Essex County insane asylum
at Newark yesterday afternoon. and the
remark was made by one of the patients
as she sprang i'll and took eat. The
other female patients caught the infec
ton, and, to the great relief OF the doc
tor and attendants, followed like flock
of sheep until the van was filled. Then
the van was driven to the new asylum
building, on South Orange Avenue, near
the limits of the city. About $50 women
and 100 men were removed, and although
excitement ran high among the inmates
of the asylum from the moment the
change was announced, the only trouble
experienced was with one woman, who
insisted that she owned the old building
and refused to leave it. A dozen trips
of the van accomplished the removal OF
all the inmates. With some of them a
great deal of persuasive talking was re-
quired to get them into the van, and one
of the male patients would get in only
on being told that they were going to
church. Then he said, Good, I'll go,
and I'll pray for Newark once more.
Newark needs praying for" One old
man took command of the forces as
"Gen. Grant" and eudeavored to
marshal his companions into line. The
curious scenes were repeated when the
patients arrived at the new building,
and the greatest tact was needed to keep
down the excitement. Some of the
patients screamed the names of their
relatives with delight when they saw
the immense structure, and evident
ly thought they were return
ing to their old holues. One woman
looked around curiously and then,
putting her hands on her lips,
said: This will do very nicely. This
is my house, and / want it distinctly
understood" Some of the patients
were delighted with The elevator, and
wanted to stay in it and ride up and
down, while others shrank in terror
from it and had to be taken up the
stairs.
The new building is an imposing
structure extending three hundred feet
on South Orange Avenue, with two
wings of nearly equal extent. Over the
main doorway is the word Retreat
carved in relief on the capstone in mas
sive letters. The old building on Camden
Street is rambling frame structure.
1t is proposed to use it as the city hos
pital.

Brains and no Brains.
[From an Unknown Exchange. !

From an Unknown Exchanged
Not many years ago Mr.. A. was Sc
vereiy injured in the head and had to
under o surgical operation. He was
recommended to a noted practitioner
who lived near the Place oe Vosges. Mr..
A. lost no time in calling upon him, and
after few moments observation the
surgeon declared that he would have to
be trepanned. The patient submitted
with bad grace. and in very short
time the skillful operator made cir
cular incision in the skull, which he lift
ed off like the crust of pie. He then
carefully extracted the brain and placed
it on sort of dish, which he immedi-
ately covered with bell glass, and
stuck on the knob of the cover label
with his patients name and address.
The operation over the surgeon said
with exquisite politeness: Monsieur,
you see what bad state your brain is
in; come again in fortnight, and you
will find it carefully cleaned and reno
waited" "But fortnight-that's long
timei' However the surgeon was mex
orable, and Mr.. A. took his leave,
Whan the time had expired the brain,
ready cleaned and done up afresh, wait
ed to be fetched by its owner, who
failed to turn up. A month passed
two months-six months-a year, and
still he came not. One day as the sur
geon was taking stroll III the Champs
Elysees, he perceived Mr.. A. in the
crowd. He appeared very cheerful, and
did not at first recognize the doctor
"But' said the latter 'd0u't Won re-
member that you left Jour brains at my
house?' 40, yes; perfectly well p
We'll, why don't you come and fetch
them?' MIR. A. good-humoredIy re-
piled: "No, thank you'll I don't want
them. l have got government ap-
pOintment" +"

STATE INSTITUTIONS.


Biennial Reports of the Board of SUI
milwaukee, Asylum.
The state board of supervision,
handed in their biennial report to Gov.
Rusk on the 18th. The board make the
following estimates of expenses for the
ensuing two years: State hospital for
the insane, $93,64S.SS. This is unusu-
ally low, since there will be probable
surplus of 49,, 1000 remaining at the
close of the present year; Northern
hospital for the insane, $l43,52l SO;
deaf and dumb asylum, $S1 $50, there
being surplus of S1,250; institution
for the blind, $50, 800, there being sur
plus of $500; Industrial school, &c.,
03l.98; state prison, $500, surplus
of $4,000 remaining this year. The
state prison, it will be seen, is nearly
self-supporting. Special appropria-
tions will be asked as follows: $1,000
for water-tower and reservoir for the
State hospital for the insane, the present
reservoir being too heavy for the entire
safety of the walls of the center building;
$4,000 for rebuilding at the Northern
hospital; 5000 for purchasing real
estate for this institution to finish ad
ditional farm facilities; for the deaf and
dumb institution $1,000 will be asked
for real estate, and $4,000 for building
a fire-p proof boiler house and laundry, a
separate building being needed as pro-
lection against fire; "A, 900 will be asked
for the state prison to be expended in
real estate to be used as pasturage and
garden, affording work for feeble bodied
inmates.
The report of the trustees of the Mil
wauke insane asylum for the two years
preceding September 80, 1884, was
submitted to the governor. During
the period an average of 4144 differ
ent persons were treated per annum,
