A CRAZY Negro.

A negro, by the name of George Rob-
inson, who is well-known about San
Mateo and Penal, is now confined in
Jail here, on account of having lost his
mind and being considered dangerous
lunatic.
He first showed violent symptoms on
Friday last, and required constant watch
ing on the part of his friends to prevent
him doing damage to himself and others,
and, growing constantly worse, he was
brought to town Wednesday, and placed
in Jail for safe keeping. He has eaten
nothing since Friday, and is growing
very weak. When first placed in Jail he
was very violent, fighting the officers,
and tearing his clothes into shreds. He
has broken everything in his cell that he
possibly could, and is now in perfectly
nude state. Everything that he could
break or harm himself with has been re-
moved from the cell, and he BUSES him
self i'm prancIng around. and acting like a
Gagged wild beast, and occasionally dane
ing.
George is described as strictly moral
boy, read his Bible almost constantly,
and went to church and Sunday-school
at every opportunity. We could not
learn the cause of his dementia, butt it is
supposed to have been brought about by
religious excitement, which was proba-
bly, increased by the recent earthquakes.
His case has been referred to Judge
King and he will probably Issue an
order to have him removed to the asy-
lum at Chattahoochee, where he can
have all proper attention. The officers
here are at loss what to do with him,
as he cannot be induced TO eat, and j.
constantly growing weaker. If there i,
not some change in his condition, he
cannot possibly live very long.

|. HARKINS billiard, ESQ, State Agent
Mutual Life Insurance Company of
New York:
DEAR SIR-I desire, through you, to
thank the Mutual Life Insurance Com
pany of New York for the promptness
with which they paid over to me the
sum Of Ten Thousand Dollars, that be-
ing the amount for which the life of my
late husband, John X. Strous, was in
sured in your company. Though only
insured for the short space of eight
months. they paid the entire sum before
the expiration of sixty days. which Is
seldom done. 1 cannot find words to
express my feelings of gratitude to you
for inducing my husband to take out a
policy, thereby providing for myself. his
aged mother, and four little children.
l hope you may succeed in persuading
every married man in taking policy,
SO that if it should please Providence to
call the father and husband, he could
die easier, knowing he was not leaving
his helpless family depending on stran-
gers.
Sincerely wishing the Mutual Life In
surance Company of New York all the
success it deserves, l am yours, most re-
spectfully, MARGARET j. STROUS.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 3.-A well-known Senator
stated to your correspondent to-day that it was
very probable that the Senate would conclude
to summon before certain Of it's committees the
nominees for prominent federal positions against
whose characters serious charges have been
fled This will necessitate the summoning of a
large number Of witnesses from almost every
part of the country, and will lead to one of the
most extensive investigations ever made by
Congress. 1t develops that committees, by call
ing upon nominees to answer charges and ask
ing those who have made charges to supply ad-
ditional information, simply complicated affairs
by securing additional testimony pro and con.
and it is thought the best plan will be to call
here the accused and accusers, see all parties.
and take testimony from their lips, thereby con-
sulting appearances as well as words. If these
investigations are opened, they will, it is said.

Man Who Is Ill Equipped to Withstand At

Special to the indianapolis Journal
WASHINGTON, Feb. 3.-One of Secretary Bay
ards most intimate personal friends, who has
been with him almost constantly since the death
of his daughter. two weeks and more ago. and
the death Of his wife, on Sunday morning last.
said to-day:
Few men in the history of American politics
have had such severe and diversified expert
ence as Mr.. Bayard within the past year, and
few men were ever endowed with so little forti-
tude to Withstand a strain. He has never had
much worry about anything before. He inher-
tied money and position. He experienced no
difficulty in retaining his seat in the Senate and
his life has been pleasant one. Nothing ever
came to try him. Now he has had everything.
Few people know it, but he has been the main
stay of the administration.
How is that?" asked.
"Why, he has had the most and best expert
ence, has always been cool and calculative and
the whole Cabinet and the President have relied
most upon him. Generally, he has had his way
about the things he has spoken decidedly about
Feeling this weight of responsibility, he has felt
the gravity of his position keenly A man
who has not been subjected to many
trials, financially. politically. socially, can
stand less Of it than others when
the ordeal comes upon them in age. Mr. Bayard,
you must remember, IS now on the shady side of
sixty; and he appreciates his age, too. But the
criticisms that have been heaped upon his ad
ministration have cut Deep even to the quick
Then the deaths in his family have made the in
roads plainly visible"
"He is sensitive?"
Eyes, very sensitive. You see there was little
said abouthim uncomplimentary before he left the
Senate, and since he entered the Cabinet coun-
ellis little has been said that was favorable or kind
1t was all a harsh, feelingless denunciation of
his acts. This, of course. did not prepare him
for the domestic blow he has received On the
contrary, it unnerved him. SO that when death
entered his family it found him without courage
and respondent"
'Do you think Mr.. Bayard will remain in pub
lie life longl'
mo, do not He has frequently said he
would like to have day off. and he wanted that
day to be long. He has been in public life and
activity nearly all his life, and his only idea of
enjoyment is in the secusion private citizen
can find. Mr.. Bayard would like to travel; then.
when his mind and nerves are Gained, retire to
his home in Delaware. and spend the balance of
his days with his children"

WASHINGTON, Feb. 3.--Few men keep up so
well at his age as Gen. John A. Logan. To-day
had talk with him pending legislation, and in
the conversation observed closely his features
A good many white strands are creeping into his
heavy hair, and his once raven black mustache
is very gray. But his face is round and full, his
eyes sparkling, full of life and his cheeks aglow
with health and vigor.
General Logan is one of the hardest workers
in the Senate. His clerk tells me that he aver
ages nearly one hundred letters in his outgoing
mails every day except Sunday. The latter day
he spends with his family, reading and resting.
Ordinarily General Logan receives from one to
two hundred letters daily. Ali those calling for
a reply receive reply. Then he attends all the
meetings of his committee-military-a is
present during all of the sessions of the Senate.
Mrs Logan, who is q household treasure in
deed, is in splendid health now, and is happy on
account of the improved physical condition of
her husband. Three years ago he was very III,
ard there was much concern felt for him, but
he may live score more of years now, and
not be very infirm either.

THE TELEPHONE SCANDAL.

Worse than the Star-Route Cases-The Presi-
dent Becoming Interested.
Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
WASHINGTON Feb. 3-"This Pan-electic tele-
phone scandal is much worse than anything that
occurred in star-route matters" said an old Of
fetal this afternoon. Then there is this differ
ence between the two cases: The star-route
men were tried and acquitted, while the tele-
phone men in public life do not even deny their
viciousness. That was bold dash Garland and
Lanar took-bold because they suffered the mill
ions of stock given them to be placed in their
names while they were in position to serve the
donors. If it had not been discovered that these
officers had this stock, they could have gone
ahead and broken down the Bell patents, thus
making their own stock valuable, and giving
themselves millions, and no one but their part
ners would have known it The discovery of
the stock in their names, and the fact that they
were conducting war against the Bell patents
may destroy the work, however. don't believe
the trials will amount to much now"
DO you think the Bell patents will be
crushedl"
No. not now; but think they would have
been had not the discovery been made. The
machinery of the government is very powerful
much more powerful than that which is WELD
ed by individuals-and it can break down almost
anything Think of the power of the govern
ment being welded to personal ends!"
The President is reported to have been lately
consulting with prominent Democrats in regard
TO published charges affecting the Attorney
generals relation to the telephone scandal He
is reported to be much concerned at the serious
aspect of affairs, and is believed to have finally
agreed to private interview with Mr. Garland,
IN which the defense of the latter shall be made.
Meanwhile it is thought that Mr.. Garland should
resign, so as to relieve the embarrassment of the
administration, which would be greatly increased
by the proposed Investigations. j. Randolph
Tucker, of Virginia is considered a likely sue
cessor to Mr.. Garland's portfolio as his name is
known to have been considered in view of
