AN INSANE PRISONER IDESTIFIED.
He Proves to be a Wanderer
Given up as Dead.

About fifteen months ago man Civ
ing the name OF William Nicols, WAS ar
rested for entering the dwelling of
gentleman residing near Pefryville in
this county, and refusing to leave. He
was evidently insane and unfit to be at
large, but being stranger without
friends to care for him the magistrate
could do nothing but commit him to
Jail. 1t has now come to light. that the
man is well connected. That he had
been confined in private asylum in
Philadelphia, from which he managed to
escape, about three years ago, and had
been wandering about the country from
that time up to the time he was arrested
here, while al the time his friends were
making every effort to discover his
whereabouts. His brother-in-law, VIM.
B. Dean is a leading hard ware dealer of
St. Paul Minnesota. A few weeks ago
Mr.. Dean heard from a lady in Philadel-
phia, to whom he had been III the habit
of sending the money to pay the insane
mans board, while he was in the asylum,
that she had reason to believe that he
was prisoner in the jail here, how she
procured this information we did not
learn, but acting upon it, Mr.. Dean came
on here, and id ntiiied the prisoner as
his long lost brother in law.
The unfortunate man has evidently
had good education. lie uses excel
lent language, though of course, his talk
is nonsensical. When he was taken to
in office had hard time to manage him.
He was filthy and almost naked, aud had
strong objection to soap and water.
Even now lie will net allow his clothing
to be changed if he can prevent it, that
is what he has on, as he tears nearly
everything from his person. At times
he is suilan and i'll tempered aud hard to
manage.
Mr.. Dean has engaged Sheriff Smith
to accompany Nicols to st. Paul, where
he will be placed in an asylum The in-
sane man is a Mary lander by birth hav-
ing been born III Caroline county. His
family was a good one, his father having
twice been member Of the State Legis-
iature. lie is lawyer by profession and
before he became insane had cousiGera-
bic practice. Sheriff Smith will journey
to Minnesota with him as soon as court
atiiOurDS. Mr. Dean was one of the
Blaine electors for Minnesota and brought
the vote to Washington.

North East Items.

A plank walk has been laid from Mai n
street along south side of Cecil avenue to
the public school building. 1t is very
decided and noticeable improvement to our
thriving town.
1t is rumoreti-we hope it is only rnmor
-that ii reduction Of 10 per cent. will be
made at the rolling MILL commencing JAN
uary LIST. We believe, however, that there
will be no reduction, if circumstances do
not demand such course.
Several new desks were put in the public
school this week. There are 1874 pupils
enrolled there and only seating capacity
for 132 heretofore.
Monday last, between the hours II and IL
o'clock A. NJ, a fatal shooting Of Emiine
Davis by Philis Ivory took place in Per-
knsvile. The two lived with Ham Web
ster in the same house. they being his para
mourS. The cause is supposed to be jeal-
ousy, as they had had frequent and pro-
ionged quarrels concerning Webster, who
has wife in Elkton. Emiline Davis had
fcrk stuck through her face one day last
week by Phlllis Ivory. Squire l. S. Deford
Summoned jury of inquest at / o'clock
P. NJ, with Theodore Blake as foreman and
DR.. Theo. A. Worrall examining physician.
Several witnesses were examined, and after
consideration deemed it expedient to ad-
.journ at 3 O'Clock and advise States Attor-
ney Bratton of the case and request his
attendance. The following day, at 10
O'Clock A. NJ, they reconvened, States
Attorney Bratton having arrived, they pro-
ceetied to the work. More witnesses were
examined, and from all that could be
learned they rendered verdict to the effect
that Emiline Davis was killed BY . pistol
wound in head, back of right ear, fired by
Phllis Ivory with malice aforethought, aud
said Pnilis Ivory, then and there shot and
murdered Emline Davis against the peace
and dignity of the State of Maryland
Webster was absent at time of shooting in
Wilmington, and on his return was ar
rested, but subsequently released, there
being found no ground for any completely
in the affair, save herein narrated.

Comfortable Quarters.

Mr.. Snedaker has an old barn in
the Ninth Ward which has not
been used .or long time, and on
going into it last Friday found a
layout which astonished him. Ii

ing and extras for comfort were
snugly arranged in a Systematic
manner sail among the harley"
straw. The property owner, with
couple OF young friends s'laid for
Mr.. Tramp until 2 O'Clock the next
morning, but as he came not they
retired and arose early the next
morning to find him in bed,
sound asleep. They awOke
him and inquired the meaning
OF his being there. He said be had
got permission from a friend o.
his named Wilsot to lodge there,
and stated that said friend told him
he'd bunked there for several
months right along The two have
been thereabout; several times since
spring, but no one ever dreamed
that they had comfortable quarters
In the old b3rn. The captured
young tramp was allowed to GO, but
his bedding and things were held by
Mr.. Snedaker until he finds out who
Wilson is. Among some Of the ct
ceteras of the perquisities Of ths
dislodged tramp we're some small
stockings, giving out the idea that
they were probably taken from some
clothes line. An arrest should have
been recorded, and the fellow held
until satisfactory explanations could
be made; but now that be has gone
to hunt up Wilson, he may never.
more be seen.
