CRAZY NAN WITH a KNIFE,
A Very Sensational Scene Yesterday Norm
inn.


Yesterday morning Jack Gray, q well
known East Wheeling character, was ar
raigned before Justice Phillips by Officer
Ben Dunlap, Of the police force, and by
the Justice committed to jail to await an
inquest in lunaCy.
Gray for some time past has been a
dangerous character. About four years
ago he got into q fight with a man while
under the influence oil liquor, and in the
course OF the sGrimmage tho man gave
MIN q terrible blow over the head with q
piece Of brick. His skull was iudented
by the force Of the blow and 1t was necss'
sary in order to relieve the compression OIL
his brain to trepan his skull, Gray
"a a hard drluker and ever since then
when drinking more than usual he would
DO slightly "otf his BALANCE and inclined
to act ugly, The man with whom he had

and cleared, his plea being one Of self de-

about fifty years OF age,

Wip0 Capt, b. B, DoYener out Of existence
The declaration AYERS that the article
quoted means the plaintiff, John Gray
and that he is damaged to the amount
named.
When the suit was lled It was said on
good authority that the plaintiff was
Marshall county man, This is still the
only understanding that can be obtained
The Wheeling Jack Gray could not be
found last night. NobodyCredits the idea
that he has sued, but 1t seems still more
peculiar II another Gray wants damages
for an article that did not refer to him.

now Source for verbena oll.

The Eucalyptus Btaigeriana tree,
known as the lemon-scented iron bark, is
a native of Queensland, where it was
fist discovered by Mr.. p. f. Sellheim.
Its leaves possess an odor exactly like
that of the lemon-scented verbena, and
the oil they yield is equal in fragrance to
that of the so-called oil of verbena of
commerce, which is not obtained from
the verbena, but from the grass andre
pygon citratus, d. G. The dried leaves,
according to Staiger, yield 2 "a per cent.
of the volatile oil of sp. gr. 0.901. The
demand for the lemon grass oil is con-
siderable, as much as 1855 ounces hav-
ing been exported from Ceylon in 1875;
it is also largely manufactured at Sigma
pore. Hence this tree, the Eucalyptus s.,
appears worthy the attention Of planters
on account of its volatile oil The odor
of the oil is quite different from that OF
Eucalyptus citriodora, which resembles
and might be substituted for chronicle
oil, so extensively used for scenting soap
