JOHN MCCULLOUGH.
The Tragedian Found Wandering About Co.
ney Island in Demented State.

NEW YORK, Sept. 11.-At Coney Island, last
evening, strange man was discovered attempt
ing to walk the trestle work Of the Marine rail
way from Manhattan to Brighton Beach. An
officer put him aboard train, when the man
was recognized as John Mccullough A watch
was kept on him, as it was feared he would at
tempt suicide After the train started, McCul-
Tough attempted to jump of, but was prevented
On arrival at Brighton Beach he complained of
his head 1t was evident that the eminent actor
was suffering terribly, and close watch was
kept over him until he reached his friends in
New York, who had been notified of his condi-
ton 1t seems that Mccullough fancies he is
followed by men who want to kill him, and he
keeps lodging imaginary foes. His friends in
this city claim that he is all right to-day, but
the Mail and Express says he is confined to his
bed, and the physicians refuse to state what is
his malady.
AN OVERDOSE OF LEMONADE.
The Tribune says: "Mr Mccullough dined at
Manhattan Beach on Wednesday evening, with
Wright Sanford, w. E. Connor and some other
members of the hlue-ripbon brigade. The
lemonade with which the frugal repast was
washed down, in accordance with the invariable
custom Of the party, was of peculiar potency.
Whether there was a trile too much sugar, or
whether the baleful lemons had been supplied
with too liberal hand, does not appear, but GER
tain it is it affected the digestive organs Of
those present after a marvellous fashion. Mr..
Mccullough, in fact. rose from the table while
the night was yet young, and murmuring some
thing about that Internal lobster salad always
playing the deuce with me- went for short
walk While courtlng the balmy evening
breezes, along the shore, he was approached
by considerate stranger, who knew him by
sight The stranger took his arm and, noticing
that he was suffering from what seemed an over
dose of quinine, tendery put him on board a
homeward bound train, and sent his bless
ing and a dispatch to the New York
newspapers speeding after him, simultaneously.
Mccullough reached his hotel rthe st. James, in
safety. and felt so far recovered yesterday morn
ing that he break tasted With his manager,
Joseph Brooks, and proposed TO recall his can
celled dates and begin his seasen next Monday,
starting for Chicago on that day. That was,
however impossible, but it was decided that he
should open in the West next Thursday, playing
in Chicago on the Monday following
The story afforded possibly some annoyance
to the genial John. as he delights to be called,
and certainly much amusement to his friends
and intimates who know the exact facts of the
CASE
The World says: 'The sensational stories
about John Mccullough, the tragedian. are
found, upon investigation, TO be utterly without
foundation Mr.. McCulloughi is in the best of
health and spirits this evening, and will start
his professional season next week"

The papers opposed to Mr.. Blaine throughout
the country are making SO much out of state
ment against Mr. Blaine given by the widow of
ex-senator Lot Morrill, that it is interesting to
know something about Mrs. Morrill, ana the
reasons for her absurd and Wrulent talk In
Augusta she has not for long time been re-
garded as a person of absolutely sound mind.
She has such an unhappy disposition that some
Of her children will not live with her or permit
her to live with them. When Lot Morrill, died
lie left his property in such manner as to be-
entirely free from Mrs Morrilrs, control He
also took great care in his will to secure the
financial Independence Of his youngest minor
daughter. The guardianship Of his daughter
was also withheld from the mother. So we'll
known is Mrs Morrill's unhappy disposition in
Augusta and so apparent is her almost in
sane vindictiveness in talking scandal
that no remotely air-lninded correspond
ent could have thought of giving any Of
her utterances a semblance of character by
printing them. The brother of Lot Morrill, A.
P. Morrill,. one of Names first Governors. is one
of Mr. Blaine's warmest friends. He said only

would be enough to throw discredit upon Mrs.
Morrill, to simply publish what she says instead
of cutting down and modifying the wild charges.
She has perfect mania for discussing Mr..
Blaine's alleged crimes with any one who calls.
There is no crime short Of murder that she has
not charged against Mr. Blaine, and it is only
question of time when she will insist that he is
an assassin Another individual who has been
very active in circulating lbeEs against Mr..
Blaine is a man by the name Of Gardener who
was for thirty years postmaster in Portland.

out from this point and Agusta have really
helped Mr.. Blaine so much that the national
committee could well afford to pay the expenses
to Ohio. Mr.. Blaine went to Bar Harbor to-day
to wind up his affairs there and give up his sum
mer residence at that point. He is being very
warmly urged to make general trip through
the country.
