An old Slave at Rest.

BOSTON, May 16.-Jcnn Thomas, for mer slave, was buried day. He was born sixtyfour years age on a plantation near Annapolis, Md, and became so faith ful 8 slave that his mastsr let him to the owners of foreign vessels as steward

FATHER AND DAUGHTER INSANE
4 Man Goes Mad While in Charge o1
 HIs Insane Dauohter.

HIs Insane Daughter.
 CHICAGO, May 16.-The police were called to-day at the Gauet House and requested to take in charge Dr. Ransom, gentlemanly appearing man eff forty, and his daughter, guests at the hotel and both evidently insane. It seems that about four weeks ago in New York the house of&Dr Ransom was burglarized and his daughter, @ young lady of nineteen, being in delicate health and of 8 nervous temperament, was frightened so badly that since then her mind has been af- fected and she has been suffering from St. Vitus' dance in the most aggravated form. The doctor thinking to benefit her health brought her to this city about three weeks ago, since which time they have been stop ping at various hotels. The doctor was the sole attendant of his daughter and it is sup posed his mind gave way under the strain and he has become violently insane. His hallucination seems to be that he and his daughter are pursued by burglars. When the police reached the hotel to-day they found the doctor hiding under the bed and his daughter destroying the furniture and tearing the bedclothes to shreds. They were taken to the county hospital.

Gone To He a GYnaY.

BOSTON, Mass, May 16.-The little town of Stoneham is considerably stirred up over the disappearance of Carry Dodge, romp- ing miss of. fourteen years, who, it is thought, became infatuated with one of a band of gypsies who had their camp in a strip of woods near the village. They fold ed their tents and stole away on May 4, the day that Carrie was last seen. Her depar- ture has been the town talk for more than 8 week. The police have telegraphed to Pitts field and other places where the gypsies are camping, but have failed to find her.
 Alderman Jaehne Guilty of Bribery.
 NEW YORK, May 16.-The jury in the case of ex-Alderman Henry w. Jaehne, charged with bribery, brought in verdict of guilty at seven minutes past this morning after being out since 10:50. Mr. Jaehne himself was the principal witness during the day, his testimony being general denial of the charge. Counsel for both sides made their arguments and Judge Barrett occupied forty minutes in making his charge to the jury which was generally considered unfavorable to the accused.
 Alderman Jaehne passed Q quiet Sunday in the Tombs. He feels much disheartened over his conviction and declined to speak except to intimate friends. It is understood that District Attorney Maritime will move for sentence before Judge Barrett on Monday. Jaehne's conviction if not set aside will for ever disqualify him from holding public office. Vague rumors of hegira the part of the indicted aldermen were afioat to-day but it is thought the S25, ,000 bond is large enough to hold them. It is hinted that James A. Richmond, president of the Broad way railroad, will be the next one for trial Alderman Waiet is still in the custody of De- tective Frink and probably will be until the cases are disnosed of for pood

named Tribune. go west young man, .
advised the immortal journalist, but little
did he think to go west meant to Greely and
the Tribune. The president of the
Tribune town company, Mr. n. c. Gerard,
who was in this city yesterday informs us
that Tribune was laid out in May last and
now contains upwards of fifty buildings,
and that not only is Tribune city growing
rapidly, but that Greeley county has been
very prosperous this season, the rainfall Of
that altitude and section thus far being
much more regular and abundant than in
this section There is much choice land
in that vicinity yet to be had. Both the
Santa Fc and the Missouri Pacific systems
will go through Greeiy county without a
doubt. 1t is about thirty-six miles from
the Santa Fe to Tribune, and about TWEEN
