ONE INSANE MAN KILLED BY ANOTHER.
Noah B. Hargis Murdered by W. F. Walker,
Fellow Inmate at the Insane Hospital.

There was a tragedy at the State Hospital for
the Insane, Tuesday afternoon, but for some un-
accountable reason the fact was kept secret un-
til yesterday, when it was necessarily disclose ed
So far as has been ascertained, nobody there
seems to know how it happened or to realize
that it might have been prevented by diligence
and attention on the part of the employees
About noon, when the attendant upon ward III
was in an adjoining room, he heard a scutfle and
cries for assistance. He found Noah B. Hargls,
an inmate, unconscious on the floor, with his
skull crushed in and w. F. Walker a fellow pa
tent standing over him fourishing a heavy
floor rubber"-a heavy block of wood covered
with flannel, with a long handle attached The
other inmates could not give very coherent &C
counts of the affair. There seems to have been
no quarrel of any consequence preceding it. and
that Walker, without any warning struck
Hargis down When questioned by the coroner
yesterday, Walker said: "Hargis talked to me
all the time about points, and knew they were
all wrong. They were the same points that
were thrown up to me seventeen years ago. He
insulted me-" and this was ali he would say
about the matter.
Hargis was about thirty-fve years old, and
was sent to the asylum in December 1883. His
affection was recurrent melancholia brought
about by religious excitement. He was a quiet
and tractabe patient, with the exception that al
most constantly he was preaching to those
around him. Walker is about thirty years old
and lived near Bloomfield, in Greene county.
He was sent to the hospital in September, 1888,
and has, on several occasions, been very violent,
so much so in fact that considerable force had
to be used to restrain him. 1t is thought that
he had contemplated the killing of Hargs for
some time, as one day last week there was found
IN his pocket large stone tied up in handker-
chief
The body of the dead man was shipped to his
relatives at Terre Haute last night AS Walker
is undoubtedly wildly insane he was not ar
rested, but was put under restraint.

The Poor Mans Country.

The opinion so often expressed that
the rich are growing richer and the
poor poorer, though perhaps true as to
European nations will not bear the test
of statistics ip this country. Here the
great capitalist of the present was of

and in many cases the poor people of
to-day are the descendants of persons
who were noted for their great for
tunes a generation ago. The wealth
of the country is constantly changing
hands. The hard-worked, thrifty CLERK
or apprentice of the rich man often
succeeds TO the wealth of his employer,
and sometimes contributes to the sup.

Some farmers make il practice to
keep their poultry in their orchards
from early spring until Geld weather
sets in, and they find it pays. A pick
ct fence should be built around the or
chard, high enough to prevent their
flying over, with suitable buildings in
one corner of the yard to shelter them
at night. Thus situated the poultry
will thrive and prosper, keeping them
selves in good condition, and the in
crease of eggs will be greatly augmen.
ted and their usefulness enhanced, to
their owners at least, on account of the
myriads of insects and worms they de-
stroy, and which will more than repay
the cost and labor of building the
fence. BY keeping them inclosed in
this manner large number of fowls
may be retained in the orchard, aud
the continual scratching which is done
by them proves advantageous both to
the soil aud the tree themselves.

How Watch Cases are Made.

1t is a fact not generally known that the
James Boss Gold Watch Gases really con-
tain more pure gold than many "solid"
gold cases The demand for these watch
cases has led to the manufacture of Il very
poor grade Of solid gold watch cases
low in quality, and deficient in quantity.
These cases are made from 4 to 10 karats,
and 5 or q karat case is often sold for II
or ii karats. 1t is NOT economy to bl.y
watch case so poor i'll quality that it will
soon lose its color or one SO soft that it will

Sew eral weeks later, Brother Mathews, while passing the preachers house, heard the sounds of hurrying footsteps, and then he saw the Rev. MT. Mellikin rushing across the yard toward the road.
