The maria" Collector.

from Snlca2O lr1DuHeJ
A debt-collecting firm styled "The
Retail Merchants Protective and Co..
lecting Association" has started n
"Black Maria collectors wagon in
Chicago. This will fill long-feIt want.
The maria" is q large, four-wheeled
vehicle, something OF a cross between
a grocers' wagon and a hearse: 1t
partakes largely of the characteristics
OF the famous "BIack Maria" prison
vans of England, and also OF the dime
museum advertising wagons OF this
country. The purpose of the wagon
is to attract attention, and thereby
shame he debtor into paying, conse-
quentF t is necessary to have some
thing ique. The Maria" recently
starte,- here is a large, black box, with
openings at the front and sides. At
each side and on the back the follow
ing legend is displayed in large, white
letters: "Old bills collected promptly
by this association" The plan of op'
Grafton is simply to keep the wagon
standing before the debtors house a
certain time every day until the debt
is paid. The manager speaks proudly
of the success of his firm in Cleveland
and other cities. He says Cleveland
is able to keep two "Marias' con
stantIy employed, and he does not see
why Chicago should not have half 9
dozen. He intends building splendid
new "Maria' for Chicago in q very
short time He says it will have grand
mirrors on the side and back. and
plumes or waxworks On the roof, just
like circus wagon, and will be such q
contrivance as any landlady Or house
keeper will be proud to see at th'
door.

Music and Insanity.

From the San Francisco News-Letterf
The theory of the close connection
between music and insanity was never
more closely established than in the
recent case OF Mr. Bertram Bolter. OF
this city, who was an inmate of a pri-
vate asylum here for ten years. At
the expiration of that term he sudden
ly recovered his reason. and was able
to give Ii perfect ~ lucid account of how
he had lost it. In 1878 Mr.. B. lived
next door to q boy who was learning
the piano. The lad was an ardent
young musician, and one night played,
Come, Birdie, Come 139 times in
succession, in order to learn it proper
ly. Mr.. Bolter was found On the floor
OF his bedroom the next day, deyour-
ing an Eureka hair mattress, and a
ravins ntssseiac. On recovering his rea-
son he told the above facts to his
keeper. who. forgetting that hearing
the tune again might agitate his pa
tient, said thoughtlessly: Why.
that's something like this, don't it,"
and he whistled the first four bars

TIE Kamsin Arriving Too Soon-An I'M
pOrtant Battle.

portant Battle.
IA dispatch from Korti says the
dreaded Kamsin winds, which do not
generally begin before March, have al
ready begun to blow over the Soudan
and have assumed almost the intensi-
sty of the sirocco. The wind is hot and
accompanied by binding clouds of
sand, which cut like needle points.
The troops only find shelter by lying
down, with their faces to the earth
until the storm has passed, when they
struggle out of the sand, almost chok-
ed and blinded. The cavalry horses
suffered terribly from the effects of the
hot blasts, and many of them have
been SO injured that they had to be
shot. It is supposed that Kamsin
will prevail about month. A Sua-
kim dispatch says the latest newsfrom
Aglg and Tamai confrmst the report Of
the brilliant victory won by the mndir
of Taxa. and the Shukrias tribe Of
friendly Arabs against the Hadendow-
ah tribe in an attack made by the lat
ter spon some friendly tribes for sup
plying the garrison at Kassala with
grain. 1t is now stated that during
the battle no less than 5000 Haden-
dowahs were killed and among the
slain was Sheik Moosa. The Kassa-
la garrison is short OF food and ammu-
milton and, as the place is hard
pressed by the enemy, despite the re
cent repulSe, surrender must soon re-
suit, unless the garrison is relieved.

Il STARTLIyG CONFESSION.


Malignity Of an Attendant.
At the coroner's inquest ON the goth,
in regard OF the death of the twenty
victims of the recent fire at the Block
ley almshouse, Philadelphia, sensa-
ton was developed by the confession
OF Joseph Nadine young negro, that
he had set fire to the building and was
instigated to the act by Peter J..
Schroeder, one OF the CHIEF attendants.
Nadine, about 23 years of age, was
committed to the institution as an
imbecile, but it is said by the physicians
of the institution, that he is morally
responsible and that hewas frequently
permitted to go home unattended.
As the result of Madness confession
Schroeder was arrested. Nadine said
Schroeder had given him a match on
the night Of the calamity and told him
to set the place on fire. Nadine then
went to the drying room, and lighting
the match, applied it 10 some rubbish
on the floor. He theg called Schroeder,
and the two, with tle assistance Of an
attendant named Mullen, endeayored
to get the patients out, but the fire
gained such headway that they were
forced themselves toleave the building.
Nadine says when Schroeder gave him
the match, he told him to set fire to
the building, that he was tired of the
place and was going to leave, and that
he disliked DR.. Richardson because he
had refused to give him railroad
pass. Nadine intimates that the at.
tendant, Mullen, also knew of his hav-
ing set fire to the building but thinks
he did not know of it until the next
day. Mullen was not placed in custody,
but will be detained as a witness against
Schroeder,

county seat the acquaintance sepa-
rated. Not long afterward, however,
there was brought into court man
charged with starting the prairie fire
that had been started by the sheriff
for the benefit of Browning and the
Judge. It required tho most skillfui
maneuvering Of the prosecuting attor-
ney and the Judge to prevent the con-
viction of the man and yet keep their
own knowledge of the origin of the FIRE
in the background. They had d duty
to perform to the public and one to
the prisoner. and they had q great
many conferences to discuss the right
and wrong Of the questions growing
out Of the predicament in which they
found themselves. But they managed
to do the square thing all round. Tho
accused party was not convicted, and
the men who knew the most about the
origin of the fire became warm and fast
friends.
