MAD
A Prominent Citizen of Fremont
County Violently Insane.
He Assaults and Probably Kills
Probate Judge NickersOn.

A gentleman Just in from Lander bring,
intelligence OF p frightful affair in thai

prominent citizen, while laboring under 9
fit OF insanity, ASA ilted Probate Judge
and County Treasurer Nickerson with
probably fatal effect, the injured man not
having, at last accounts. recovered con
seriousness.
Wilson has been partially crazy cver
since early in the summer. OF an excit-
able temperament he was wrought on by
the exhortations. of the then resident
Methodist minister, until his mind gave
way, and he went about the country in
nearly a state Of nudity prociaiming that
the Lord, in personal converse, had or
dered him to throw away his clothing, a
garment at time, until there should be
none left. This command he obeycd to
the letter, and when he was finally run
down, and placed under restraint, was

SO far recovered his mental balance as 70
render it safe to release him from sur.
VIGILANCE. For a long time he was unset
tied in his actions, and many people all
during the summer said that Wilson
was as crazy as ever. IT now appears
that the fires of insanity were indeed but
sm%ouldering, and now they have broken
out again to a fearful purpose. His old
religious hallucination was at the bottom
of this last outbreak. lie had a com
mand, lie said, from the Divine One ito

him to use his personal strength alone, as

the moneyed classes OF the East He was
q man of high character and broad attain
ments, and we believed his candidacy
would give us a good fighting chance of se-
curing the electoral vote Of Illinois But
we felt very grateful to Mr.. Greeley. We
decided, therefore, that We would give him
o complimentary vote in the convention as
an expression Of our kindly regard. We
went out to Cincinnati in q special train,
with drums beating and flags flying, seven
ty-two delegates, and probably two hun
dred others who had no business there, but
wanted to see the fun. As soon as we ar
rived we began talking Greeley. This was
done for a lark, you must remember, but
We talked about him SO much that we soon
started great boom for him. We con-
cluded, however, that this would do us
no harm, and that, at the proper moment,
he could be quietly set aside, when we
would bend our energies, first to the
nomination of David Davis. or failing
in that, the nomination of Charles Francis
Adams. The Kentucky delegation was
headed by Cassius NJ Clay. They had no
candidate, but they had heard so much
talk about Horace Greeley around New
York headquarters that they believed we
were honestly in favor of the old man and,
to our horror, when that State was called,
what did Clay do but announce that Ken
lucky cast her twenty-six votes for Horace
Greeley. AS we had pledged our first vote
to DIR. Greeley we were bound to make
good the promise, and when Now York's
seventy-two votes followed Kentucky's
twentysix the convention became wild
with excitement, and from that time until
roll-call was finished nothing could be
heard but shouts for Greeley. We at
tempted to check the tide on the next bal
lot, but 1t was too late. Greeley was nom-
mated on the second ballot, and the mad
dest set of men in Cinninnati that night
were the members Of the New York delega-
tion' whose choice was David Davis, Of
illinois,"

philadelphia Record
For some time past hut constructed OF
railroad ties, the crevices filed with old
carpets and a roof of scrap tin, attracted
the attention Of pedestrians on American
street, above Dauphin. The hut itself was
not the only object OF remark, but the fact
that q crowd of boys, whose ages ranged
from twelve to sixteen years, daily held
mysterious seances within its walls ex.
cited the curiosity of the workingmen in
the adjoining factories and mills. Inves-
LEGATIONS were instituted, but beyond the
fact that the structure had been dubbed
"The Mesmerizer's Hut" nothing was de-
veloped. On June 5, Willie Srangeuberg,
a lad living on York street, near Fifth,
was killed on the Philadelphia & Reading
Raiload, directly in front OF the "hut.n
With his death the frequenters of the
place dispersed and the structure has been
razed to the ground. After young Spang-
enberg's death some Of the mysteries of
the gang leaked out. 1t was then found
that the name applied to the rendezvous
had heen derived from the performances
of Geo. Reinhardt, q fifteen -year-old lad,
whose mother keeps a cigar store on Law
renee street. Reinhardt had developed q
mesmeric talent which was surprising, and
had caused him to be looked uoon by oil
the females, old and young. for blocks
around as possessed of devil. Each day
the youthful mesmerixer selected a SUBJ
ject from his chums and exhibited his re-
markable power. At first his seances were
confined to his personal friends, but, be-
coming emboldened by success, Rsinh ardt
made no objection to the workingmen In
the adjoining establishments visiting the
ut.
A young man employed in the stove
works opposite the place of exhibition had
his attention attracted by the boys one
evening, and out Of curiosity he visited
the place. He found young Reinhardt al
ready at work on subject, making mys-
terious passes in front Of the lads face
and staring at him as IL to impress the
subject that he had his mind under con-
troll. Soon the lads eye-lids drooped, and
he apparently was enjoying an easy nap.
1t was then that the power Of the mes-
merizer was made plain. Reinhardt had
evidently read Of some professors accom-.
plishments, and endeavored 10 initiate the
feats in every way. He placed . broom
In the hands Of his subject, who immedi-
ately commenced picking the imrrovised
banjo strings and sang lively populsr
air. After the musical performance,
the youthful professor led his sub-
ject TO believe that he was on q fishing ex--

GOOD FISHING.
The Tremendous TIauls Made by o Della
ware Fishing-Smack.
IPhiladelphia Times1

Eleven hundred and forty shad, 2l2 her
rings and 30S rock were the net result of
yesterdays seine hauls at Gloucester.
Nearly 500 people witnessed the afternoon
haul and enthusiastically cheored when
the result was announced. and the vet and
hungry fishermen trooped to the whito-
washed hunks Of their sixty-year old cabin.
Three hauls were made In twelve hours
1t was just two o'clock in the morning
when Captain William A. Guy, one of the
owners of the upper fishery, thrust his
hands deep down into his pockets and said
"Blank the blamed fog" The captain
never uses more emphatic language, but
his perturbed mental state was plainly evil
dent in the angry action with which he
tossed his freshly-lighted cigar into the
muddy waters of the Delaware. The great
boat, with its eighteen sweeps and
more than mile Of MT and
rope, loomed up in the thick at
mosphere: Captain Stewart. who
gripped the spokes Of the wheel, had lost
his bearings. So thick was the fog that
the oarsmen OF the net-boat could not tell
in what direction they were moving or how
far they were from the sandy shores Of
New Jersey. 1t was useless to attempt a
haul, and So with a vicious bite ut a huge
plug Of tobacco, Captain Stewart sent his
wheel flying to starboard and the boat re-
turned to its moorings.
AT four O'Clock the fog had lifted suffi-
cfently to give a reasonable view of the
river andthe men took their places oppo-
site their rowlocks The tide was on the
ebb Captain Gosser stood by the windlass
OF the land end OF the seine, nervously bit
ing the stem Of clay pipe. He had been
anxious about the result of this Sc .ond
dragging OF the seaward-running WI ters.
Steadily the rope and net were payec out
over the stern of the boat, and with much
creaking and groaning the prim-
tive windlass drew in the hempen meshes,
within whose limits glistened the famous
Gloucester shad. Fathom after fathom
came dripping out Of the waters, and fish
after fish was tossed upon the reddish sand,
while the brawny workers sang chant IA
nous wherever the muscular-worked cap
stan has not been superseded by a steam
windlass. The haul was good ono go
shad, weighing from four to seven pounds
each, being captured. A second effort was
at once ordered and shortly after six o'clock
the boat moved away from the wharf.
Captain Stewart believed that there were
more shad in the Delaware, and that the
net behind him was going to scoop them in.
The men were in better humor, and bent to
their eighteen-feet sweeps with good will.
Nearly as good a haul as the previous
one was obtained, and then all hands were
piped below, and the shingles Of "Head-
quarters ratified with the snores of the
tired men.

OldRandsom had been blind during many
years. He had heard the guns OF war,
had heard the shouts Of his emancirated
brethren, hut had never seen his freedom.
He continued to live in his cabin. sur
rounded by his wife and children, who
supported him. His wife died, and his
heartless children, one by one, deserted
him. Aftor this he contrived to make n
living by bottoming chairs. Several
months ago he became too feeble TO work.
About that time young man whom the
old negro had nursed, came home.
"You needn't try to work any more,

Revolution im Locomotives.
fNew York SUM-

"There is q revolution impending in
the construction of locomotives" said a
railroad engineer yesterday; ."and the
improvement, / understand, is due to tl,e
success Of the triple-expansion engines
on ocean steamers. Not that compound
engines are to be used for locomotives,
but if number of cylinders aggregaling
tho same power will save coal on an
ocean steamer why not on locomotive?
The fact that the present system is not
the best has been well known for a long
time,s The transmission Of power
through the connecting rods to the two
drivers is an uneconomical way at best,
and when, in going around curves, the
wheels are not able to turn in unison,
one or the other must slip so long as
they are rigidly connected. Now It is
proposed to use four cylinders instead
Of two, one pair for each set of
drivers. The aggregate power of the
four Is equal to that Of the
two now used, but it was found in a
series of experiments made at Wool
wich Arsenal in England, by the British
War Office, that the power used to move
the locomotive itself was from 30 to 40
per cent. less with four cylinders than
with the two. Experiments were made
with an old twu.cylinder locomotive all
tered to use four cylinders. Of course
the results were not equal to those that
could be obtained with machire made
60 order. The coming locomotive will
have pair of cylinders for each drive
