The insanity plea has never accomplished
much for criminals in this State. Its last
failure was in the Hodgdon murder case at
Bath. Hodgdon, while drunk, killed his
mother. After his arrest he feigned insan-
ity and was sent to the insane hospital for
inspection. The physicians of that institu-
ton found no indications of that disease.
Whatever halluciation he may have labored
under at the time of the murder was shown
conclusiyely to be the result of the liquor
which he had deliberately drunk. lie goes
to the State prison for life, and nobody can
gainsay the justice of his punishment.

On second thought the President concludes
that the newspapers are not so black as he
painted them Some of them he still con-
tends do deliberately aud habitually lie, but
the most of them he admits do not wilfully
misrepresent. That is about the fact. There
are bad newspapers and good newspapers,
but the latter are largely in the ascendency.
A good many of the alleged falsehoods of
newspapers are the misrepresentation of
people upon whom newspapers have to de-
pend for information, and the really guilty
party is the newspapers informant and not
the newspaper. Judicial investigation by
newspapers is impossible.

Vain Attempt of Man to Walk Across
Its Waters.


Its Waters.
New YORK. December 12th.-The Tfib-
tuie's Buffalo special of December 11th
SAYS Alfonso King, the water walker, sue
ceeded to-day in balf crossing the torrent
in the Niagara gorge below the falls but
was overset and nearly drowned in the
boilers" King wore pair of goldfish, u
as he calls them, an evening dress suit and
tall hat. The FISH are of zinc, thirty
inches long, eight inches wide and nine
inches high The feet slip down in them
through holes in the top, and when in the
water the queer supports are so much sub
merged as to resemble goldfshes. On still
water King says that he can walk three
miles an hour. An attempt TO cross the
gorge was made on wager of $3.50 side
by Henry Webb, a theatrical manager, and
Thomas Rowe, New York politician. To
win it was necessary for King to walk at
least 100 feet on the surface of the stream,
which distance he made, with 200 feet
more, in quarter of an hour
Some reportersin rowboat accompanied
the water pedestrian to pick him up in case
he capsized. King made slow progress
across the channel, and when near the CEN
ter, where the currents come together he
got into an eddy which churned up from
below and twisted the goldfish around
until he was thrown off his feet and cap
sized. The venturesome man was rescued
and again essayed to make the trip, but
this time the eddies made even quicker
prey of him than before and he was pulled
into the boat. Despite the failure King
persisted in trying again. but the reporters
did not want corpse on their hands and
they took him ashore. The start bad been
made from the Canada side from the Maid
of the Mist landing, for Superintendent
Walsh. of the State Reservation, would not
let the feat be attempted from this side OF

Forty of Them Allow Two Men to Rob a
Train.
ST. LOUIS, December I2th.-The particu-
lars of the train robbery yesterday near
Bellevue, Tex, are that three robbers. who
were unmasked and made no effort at con-
cealment, arrived at the water tank a few
minutes before the train. When the train
arrived one of the robbers, with a drawn
pistol, ordered engineer Ayers and his fire
man and o. g. Miller, another engineer,
who was riding in the cab, to alight, which
they did. He then marched them some
thirty feet from the train and "went
through" them, taking all the yaluables
they had. While this was going on the
other two men went through the train. 1t
appears that one of the passengers in the
rear car, who was looking out the window
and saw the operation with the train men,
diviniDg the situation, went into the for
ward cars and notified the other passengers
of what was going on, and told them to Sc
crete their money. This they did in va
rious ways, giving most of their diamonds
to several ladies aboard. Miss Kate Haas,
of Fort Worth, took charge of S3 600 ana
other valuables. Mrs. Chambers, of Potts
dam, n. Y, received $5 600 and some dia-
monds, and Mrs. Wittick, of Carthage,
took her husbands gold watch and several
hundred dollars. Mrs. Wittick was greatly
incensed at the proceedings. and boldly
stood up in the car and asked if forty men
were going to tamely submit to such an
outrage at the hands of two highwaymen.
ABOUT $4,000 IN MONEY AND $4,000
WORTH OF DIAMONDS
And other valuables were left by the rob-
bers in their haste to get through the train,
and because they did not search the ladies.
They were evidently novices in the busi-
ness, and went away with the paltry sum
of S105, three gold watches, ten silver
watches, five revolvers and one gold ring.
The robbers left the train at the rear end
of the sleeper, mounted horses standing
near by and rode rapidly away. The train
was then hurried ON to Bellevue, where
kilograms were sent to Superintendent
Frost, at Fort Worth, who Immediately re-
piled, offering $3.50 reward for each robber,
and in less than an hour five posses OF
officers and citizens were in pursuit.
[SECOND DISPATCH.1
ST. LOUIS, December 12th.-Superintend-
ent Connors was on the train. having in
charge two deserters, with guard of five
negro soldiers of the Twenty-fourth Artil-
lery. Mr. Conneis commanded the sol
diers to draw their revolvers and fight the
robbers, hut several of the passengers op-
posed this so strongly and pleaded so earn
estly in behalf of the women and children
on board, that the Superintendent reluct-
antly yielded, and when the robbers reached
the soldiers and demanded their weapons
they quietly gave them up.

Woman Murdered for the Value of
Her Corpse.
BALTIMORE December 12th.-Early Fri
day evening negro man brought to Mary
land University, ON Lombard street. the
body of a white woman and left it with
Anderson Perry, the colored janitor, say
ing he would call again for Sl5, the price
agreed upon. The body was taken to be
prepared for keeping until needed for dis
section, but it was found that the head was
horribly crushed, and there were two
wounds in the left breast. The police were
at once notified. Yesterday post-mortem
examination was made. A physician
stated positively that the wounds were made
after death, leaving the inference that it
wss q simple case of body-snatchiDg, and
that the work had been done by a novice
To-day, however. the body was identified
