the death of the sufferer, James Croak,
weli-known merchant of this city, is en-
crossing the attention Of physicians mere.
Mr.. Croak first fell III in April, 1854, sud
denly losing consciousness for five min
utes. The next symptom was trouble
with the left eye, and for some time he
saw double. In q comparatively short
time total loss Of vision in
the left eve resulted. Double
vision in the right eye ensued within six
months, and soon sight departed from tnat
eye. The blindness was absolute. NO
pain was connected with this phase OF the
disease. Mr. CrOak seemed in perfect
health. and the eyes, TO one unacqualnted
With him, have not the slightest trace OF
blindness. Then followed a gradual, and,
finally, an absolute loss Of hearing and OF
the sense of smell. Accompanying this
STAGE of the disease was an occasional
tWitching Of the muscles of the face and
mouth and "A numbDess Of the right side
For three months prior to his death Mr.
CrOaE's sutferngs were fearful. The pain
seemed TO be in the top of the head, and
was most intense. AnOdynes, successful
IN OIher cases, were poWeriess IN MS.
During all this time he was able to be
about, since there was not the slightest
diminution Of his physical strength. The
only way in which he could gain relief
was TO bend forward with his head in

BROKEN BANK.
A Philadelphia Bank Closes It's
Doors, with Deficit of
100000.
The President Uses More Than Its Cap
ital and Surplus.

PHILADELPHIA, May 30.-The Shackawaxon
Bank closed Its doors this morning, owing to
the discovery of deficit of over 100000. The
bank was established 10 years ago by VIM.
Bumm, who acted as its president up to the
time Of his death one year ago. Bumm practi-
cally owned the bank and Thomas L. Hug
gard was noninaLy the cashier, but Bumm
managed its affairs with a sort of exclusive
care which precluded the possibility Of any
one else gaining an insight into his peculiar
doings. When Bumm's successor assumed
con9rol very critical state OF affairs was found
to exist. On Monday the auditing committee
OF the board OF directors met at the bank for
the purpose OF examining the accounts, and
when Cashier Huggard was called upon to ex-
plain matters it is said he was taken suddenly
III and was removed to his home. The other
directors were then summoned and q general
investigation proceeded with, Yesterday it
was discoveree that large;sums of money had
been obtained from the cashier without their
authority. They found checks indicating that
VIM. Bumm & Sons, salt merchants, had OBJ.
tanned $115, 900 and Joseph Oonklin, street
cleaning contractor, the latter having no ac-
count whatever in the bank, had obtained
$88,000.
The aggregate deficit discovered is $2O3, 900
or $4,000 more than the combined capital and
surplus of the bank. No entry was made of
these transactions but checks were found
which 1t is supposed the cashier had cashed
Upon discovery of these facts special meet
ing OF the board of directors was called yester-
day afternoon. George Bumm, one Of the d.
rectors and also member of the firm OF VIM.
Bumm 81 Sons, was present at the meeting and
pledged the firm as liable for the money which
his firm had drawn and in consequence his at
torney went into the court of common pleas
and confessed judgment in favor Of the bank
for S115, 900.
The directors then resolved that the banks
operation should suspend for the present and
that it would be dishonest to receive deposits
when the account was overdrawn $4,000 above
the surplus and capital. Accordingly at 10
O'Clock this morning the doors were not op-
ened. The stockholders, it is understood will
pay every dollar of the indebtedness. The di-
rectors themselves it is said, have $500, 600
locked up in the bank. This city has about
$14 900 in the bank, which it is now said can
not resume

EXCITING SCENE IN COURT.
A Prisoner Attempts to Kill the District
Attorney-The Desperate Overpowered
After severe Struggle.

LYONS, N. Y, May 29.-The most exciting
scene ever witnessed in court room in this
region occurred in the Wayne County Circuit
Court yesterday afternoon. Judge William
Rumsey was upon the bench. The trial of
John johnson OF New York, who was arrested
in this vicinity few weeks ago for numero us
bold burglsries, after attempting to kill his
captors, had been in progress all day and was
nearing its end. District Attorney Hoag was
concluding his address for the prosecution: HIt
has been shown beyond doubt" said the Dis
trict Attorney, "that the prisoner at the bar
intended to commit murder"-instantly. and
before any one was aware of it, johnson had
leaped from the prisoners sbox and was within
q few feet OF the District Attorney, swearing
that he would kill him. The Judge ran to one
side of the court room, the district attorney
and stenographer ran behind the witness stand
the clerk teok refuge behind huge desk and
the jury scattered. Women in the gallery
screamed, while many burst through the doors
ana dashed down the stairs. johnson seiz ed
nolo OF chair and was about to raise it to
dash at the district attorney when the guards
were upon him. The excitement became in
tense and the women tainted. James Hutch
lns was knocked down, while two others had
their faces and sca]ps cut and bruised before
johnson was overpowered. Then he was
hammered into submission with steel hand
cuffs until his face was bleeding mass. He
Kept up volley of profanity, vulgarity and
vows OF vengeance. He was finally hand
entfed and put back into the prisoners box.
The district attorney did not resume his ad-
dress, but the judge addressed the Jury and
they almost Immediately found the prisoner
guilty. He was given the full penalty OF the
law, 10 years in Auburn Prison. The iudpe
said the scene of yesterday was the worst he
ever witnessed in courl room. johnson is re-
garded here as the most desperate fellow ever
confined in the county Jail. He would GER
talnly have murdered the district attol nev IL
ne had not been caught in time.

THE NORTHWEST.
Outrages Committed by Big Bears
Band OF Indians.
Officers in Search of the UnruIy
Chief.

WINNIPEG, Man, May 20 Inspector Pet.
ers and twenty mounted policemen have ar
rived at Battleford from General Strange's
column, which has reached Fort Pitt. Peters
reports that Pitt was burned. Policeman
Cowan's body was found there horribly mutil-
ated, the heart being cut out and impaled on q
pole near the body. Peters was also at Frog
Lake, where he discovered the bodies of the
people massacred there by Big Bears Indi-
ans, A corpse. supposed to be that Of Mrs.
Gowanlock, was found in q well, with both
legs severed near the thighs and the arms cut
off above the elbows. The bodies OF Father
Marchand and Father Forford were found in
the cellar of a burned house. They were very
much chsrred but were recognized by the
beadslfound in their spockets. Their gowns
were not altogether destroyed. The remains
of Delaney, Qninn and Gilchrist were discoV-
cred in the woods near by.
General Strange has sent Inspector Steele
north to look up Big Bears band. Big Bears
whereabouts is a matter of conjecture. He has
probably gone north of Frog Lake.
The Cree chief Moosomin is in Battleford.
He came from Tuttle Lake and says he has
been friendly all along.
Inspector Peters starts back to General
Strange today with dispatches from Middle
ton,
