Edward c. Chick, who is under
treatment at the MorrIstown Lundtice
Asylum for what is known as circular
insanity, is a most extraordinary
character, remarked Friedrich Jen-
kins, clerk of the Brooklyn Superin-
tendent of the Police a few days ago
to a Herald reporter He has been
IN five different asylums, and escaped
from the Morristown institution,
where he has been since last October,
on Friday last, having picked the
locks with an ingenious coBtri-
vance fashioned out of tooth brush.
Il have known him for number
Of years, and he invariably calls TO see
me Whenever he gets out When /
saw him on Saturday / telegraphed to
the doctor at the asylum and received
word TO hold him till they could send
for him. His wife also desired that
he should be returned at any expense.
He has two beautiful Children boy
and gi~l-and his wife is lady of
refinement and education. His chief
delusion is that he can amass vast for
tunes, and another is that his mother
IN law and wife are plotting ms des-
truction and seeking to Illustrate his
business plans. He is a man OF ex
cellent business address, and last sum

AFTER A JOLLY FR0LIC.
Colonel Fred Mussey loses HIS
Young Wife-Scpsration of Ex-Gov-
ernor Fosters Daughter from Her
Husband Unhappy Sequel of
Brilliant Wedding.
The Morning Journal

Great surprise has been produced at
Fosrorla, Ohio, by the pupllc an
nouncement that Mrs Fred Muss9y,
the daughter of Ex-Governor Charles
Foster, has separated from her hus
band and is now at her home in thus
place undecided whether to seek a
divorce in the courts or not. Mrs.
Mussey is the youngest daughter of
Governor Foster. Soon after the Gov
ernor went to Columbus, in 1880, he
employed Colonel Fred p. Mussey, a
newspaper man, as his private secre-
tary. Fred soon fell in love with
Miss Annie, and although she was but
a mere girl, he won her affections and
married her. The wedding was a
brilliant affair and Immediately af-
forwards the couple made brief tour
of Europe. Their married life has
been very unhappy, the trouble be
Jag caused mostly, as alleged by young
Mussey's mode of living, his eXtraya-
gance and dissipation on the bridal
tour. When the newly-married pair
were in New York it is said Mussey left
his bride alone in his room at the
Fifth Avenue Hotel while he made
merry IN the city with his friend and
aquaintances.
Governor Foster and family felt
deeply grieved over the career
of son-in-law Mussey. The sym
pathy of the public is of course,
always with the lady, and is
so in the present instance. Mrs.
Mussey has a home where she has al.
ways been happy and made others
happy. She has friend in all who
know her at home in Columbus and
elsewhere. She is neither proud nor
naughty While at the capital she
was known for her works of charity
and was always ready to take part
with the ladies who are active in car
ing for friendless and needy.
Mr.. Mussey is man who takes moth
ing sorely to heart. He has been
somewhat of an adventurer. He has
been accustomed to disregard the feel
ings of men by criticism, regardless of
consequences, and this, it is claimed,
has caused him to look on all woman
kind with more or less disrespect 1t
is quite probable that the history of
this unhappy marriage will never be
known. There are those who go so
far as to say that the poor lady has
endured more than can be told, and
that it is a shame that so worthy a
lady had not been welded by some one
who would have appreciated her worth
and standing, and made ker happy.
1t is useless to indulge in speculations
as to the cause Neither party is like
ly erto tell of the past and about all
that will be known is that they were
married, and like so many of the bril-
liant weddings, the sequal has been a
separation.
Mrs. Mussey was never unkindly
treated according to what is generally
known. The lady's suffering, it APP
pears, has been in the consciousness
that she was miserable, that she had
lost all regard for her husband on ac-
count of his course, and that it was
an impossibility for her to live with
him any longer.
The case has created profound sen
sation in society circles throughout
/ the State

officers ahd three or four spectators
were engaged in counting the ballots
in the coiored school house, at Chap
peil Hill, two men, supposed to be
whites BACKED up, rushed in and com
menced firing, shooting teh or twelve
shots. II. H. Kuoxson was shot In
the back, dangerously. but not neces-
sarily fatal. A. w. Wilder's left arm
was broken at the elbow, and amputa-
ton is likely. Louis MaXey was shot
In the shoulder dangerously. The
parties shot are negroes, who have no
idea who the shootists are. 1mmedi-
ately after the firing the shootists
rushed out, mounted their horsee near
by and rode off. The count was re-
sumed at ten this morning, when the
sheriff reached the scene. All Is now

condemned by 81 good men of both
