Fred. Marde,s COLLAPSE.

Shortly after 3 o'clock Monday af-
ternoon, says Reading, Pa, special,
shower of broken glass tumbled
from the second story of the Fifth
sire, side of the Mansion house and
ratified upon the steps and pavement
below. Pedestrians were attracted by
the noise and looking up saw a woman
at the window in the act of jumping
out. A number of men rushed up
stairs and learned that the lady at the
window was Miss Collingwood, a
member of Fred. Warde's
theatrical company. Another lady
members of the company was present
and apparently in considerable alarm.
With them was Mr.. John J. Collins,
the manager of the company. The
excitement in the room continued for
at least five minutes. The lady at the
window seemed 10 be in Mysteries.
Her hands were severely cut and badly
bleeding. MIR. Collins right ear was
also cut. Manager Collins made this
explanation of the matter:
Miss Collingwood is n respected
lady OF the company, and is afflicted
with malady which frequently drives
her into Mysteries. Saturday she COM
planned severely. Her lady friend was
in her room endeavoring to comfort
her, Suddenly she arose and was seiz-
ed with severe spasms. The two ladies
being alone, one of them screamed
for help. When | arrived, Miss
Collingwood had broken NUM-
Der of pains of glass, and was scream
ing loudly that she wanted air. She
was not responsible for her actions,
because she was out of her mind. For
the same cause the lady acted in other
strange ways. She even seized me
with herculean strength and pushed
me against the wall, wounding me
behind the ear. She also uttered
strange words and made use of odd eX-
pressions.n
Nine hours before the above scene
took place Miss Boyle, the leading
lady, left the company and went TO
New York. This morning Mr.. Warde
parted company with his manager and
left for New York. lie was not about
the hotel at all during the above eX-
element. OF the separation, Mr..
Collins says; Miss Boyle's time was
up, and she left of her own accord.
OF Mr.. Warde's going ! prefer to say
nothing. 1 can only speak kindly OF
| him.
Other members ofthe company say
that it is family fight that COM
menced several weeks ago and that
! the scene at the hotel was precipitated
by fruitless effort TO have two ladies
adjust their difficulties. One OF the
male members of the company was mr.
rested tonight for accidentally 1irine
a bullet through hotel window.

A FAMILY SECRET DISCLOSED.
a Handsome wife Imprisoned for Thirty
Years by her Jealous Husband.

Years by her Jealous Husband.
The death of Nelson Hinman, the
owner of farm in Naugatuck Valley,
Ct, two weeks since, disclosed the
fact that for thirty years he had kept
his wife confined in an upper apart
ment with grated windows. She has
been partially insane, but the deceased
is now charged with causing her mind
to give way by an exhibition oil MS
jealousy when she was near her con-
finement with her first child. Before
her marriage .she was woman
of refinement and education, ard
quite belle. Her reputation had al
ways been of the purest and best, but
when her husband, in moment OF
anger, allowed his jealousy to get the
better of his reason and upbraided ner,
II shocked the poor woman 30 that
ever after her mind was somewhat
unsettled, her reason partially ue-
throned. Since Humans death Mrs.
Human has been out of her room on
several occasions. The first was just
before the funeral services oil
her husband were held. Then coming
out of her room she looked over the
baDisters OF the stairs down into the
nall where the cold stern features OF
her tyrannical husband looked up from
his coffin. A cynical smile-almost
the look Of eXultation--swept over inc
haggard features of the once beautilui
belle Of Birmingham, and then With
out word she returned TO her room
and In silence looked
Tor hours through the
grated window al the long stretch Of
snow and ice ringing the rushing
Housatonic. She Seemed content
for'the first time In three decades
quiet at peace with herself. There Is
little hope that the wretched wife,poN
an old woman of over sixty-iive years
can ever be restored to reason, and IL
an probability, despite treatmen
which is promised, she will die Us she
has liyed--a. prisoner in her own room

LoCKPoRT, n Y, April 16-Fhe Will
of Thomas Vedder, the mysterlously
missing Suspension Bridge man, who
was probably the richest man at that
place, was filed IN the surrogate's ottl e
here yesterday, by James Nedder, his
brother and executor. 1t is long and
interesting document. l. makes special
bequests to the amount of about $780,
900. and, strangely enough, the family
of the dead Van Rensselaer, Pearson Is
the most generously remembered. Pear
son himself is willed $1,000.
Two churches at Suspension Bridge
get $500 each. Vedder's mother gets
81, 900; the seminary of Our Lady of An
gels (Catholic) gets $1,000; Martin V.
Pearson, Oldest son of Van r. Pearson,
gets the United States Hotel property at
the bridge; Sarah Pearson, wife OF the
murdered man, gets the house where
she lives and $15, 900; Catherine Vedder,
the other sister, gets S15, 600; and the
four small children of the dead Pearson
ger about $4,000 each. The residue,
after bequest of about $40, 600 to his
brother James, is divided between said
James and his two sisters, and ls estl-
mated at about S3,00U,000. The coro-
ner's jury in the Pearson inquest re-
turned verdict that Van r. Pearson
came to his death by two pistol shot
wounds inflicted by some person or per
sons to the jury unknown.

A Generous Senator.
[From a Washington Letter.l


While talking with Senator Wade
Hampton last evening daughter of the
late Reverdy johnson came up with an
autograph album in her hand. This
book was only for the names OF United
States senators. The purpose of this
lady is TO raise a little contribution to-
wards the founding of hospital for help
less Southern soldiers at Richmond, a
work so laudable that it would be like an
offense TO argae the duty and glory OF it.
This book is to be sold when filed to any
one who will pay the most for it. Each
senator has subscribed S5. But the one
thing which the beautiful lady with radi.
ant face came in haste to tell Hampton
was this: One United States senator
was be from the North? was he from the
South? The East or the West? 1t was a
secret, and precious one and sacred
this senator modestly set down the little
So, not willing to be known as giving
more then some of his fellow senators
who are not rich, and then handed her a
check large enough to set two decimals
to the right. Ali there is heart IN this
world after all, and don't you despair
for humanity.

Fun for the Bows.
from the Cleveland Herald

From the Cleveland Herald.
At the conclusion of the morning serv-
ice at the Cathedral Sunday, in Cleve-
land, gentleman faultlessly attired in
broadcloth and wearing a carefully
brushed silk hat, emerged from the
church, and, crossing the street to where
number of newsboys and bootblacks
were assembled, employed one of the
young arabs to black his boots. When
the job was accomplished he reached
in his pocket and threw the boy quar-
ter. A newsboy, noticing the gentle
mans generosity, ran mp and asked him
to buy paper.
''How much do you want for the
whole bundle?" asked the stranger, fa-
voring the young merchant with pat
ronizing smile, and diving his hand
down into his pocket. The boy hesi,
tated, and shifted uneasily from one foot
to the other. "Here," said the gentle
man, pulling out a handful of small sill
yer coins, take this and give me your
papers," The exchange was quickly
made, and the man started down the
street with the papers under his arm.
He had gone but few steps, however,
when he returned and gave the papers
back to the boy. By this tine quite
crowd of street urchins had gathered
around the two fortunate objects of the
gentleman's generosity, and were regard.
ing him with wide. open eyes.
"I was bootblack once myself,
boys" said he, as be beamed down be-
nefcently upon the ragged coated iuve-
niles, "and I know what a hard time
you have to get along. [ was a boot
black in New York when I was a boy,
and got my first start while handling the
brush. Now I'm 1ick and like to help
the poor boys along. Wait here mo-
ment." With that he went into neigh
boring cigar store and several large bills
changed into dimes and quarters. Re-
turning with his pockets bulging with
their loads of coin, he squared himself
before the crowd, which had been by this
time augmented by the arrival of more
newsboys and bootbacks, and exclaimed:
"Now, | want to give you all chance,
so stand off a short distance, ard when
I throw the money out why grab for it. y
The BOYS did as directed, and the be-
nevolent individual tossed a handful of
coin, quarters and dimes, in and
about them. Instantly there was a
frantic scramble for the money,
in which several toughs of the
spring bottom pants-and-short hair va
riety joined, and in fact gathered up a
good share of the free lucre. The per-
formance was repeated again and again
until about $50 worth of change was
exhausted. Then, with parting smile,
in which generosity and good-nature
mingled, he turned and disappeared
down the street. One of the boys col
lected enough of the coin to aggregate
s5, and the others gathered in smaller
amounts, ranging from 81 down. The
hoodlums did not leave the field to the
BOYS after the first distribution, but re-
mained and took part in all the subse-
quent scramble, the gentlemen making
no objection The munificent individual
was rich New Yorker and was stopping
at one of the principal hotels.
