MR.. MADDEN.

The friends of President Hidden are
greatly disappointed at the evidence he
has occasionally displayed since quarn-
tine was first suggested Of an inadequate
apprehension and appreciation OF what was
necessary, not merely to secure the city
against any oncroachment by refugees
from places infected by the yellow fever
but to make for the people the sense OF Sc
curity, that next to security itself is ut such
times the most desirable and most pre-
cious Of boons. TuE APrEAL was not
blind TO these little manifestations, but in
view Of his otherwise general excellence
as public officer, ii hoped that he
would shortly see his duty 10y the
strong light thrown upon it by the people
who, weeks ago, declared their wishes rs
to their safety from epidemic disease.
This he has not done. 1t is true he has
accedcd to their wishes, but il has been in
II grudging spirit, bordering on unwilling
ness. When train from Mississippi ar
rived in the city on Saturday, In direct
cuntlavontion OF the non-intcrcourse
order issued by Dr. Thornton, he
is reported 10 have referred tho
matter TO the Secretary OF the Cotton Ex-
change, who, ii is well known, has no of
fetal connection with the Taxing District
Government, nor is charged with any OF
ils functions. Everyone who learned OF
this evidence Of sulk was not only sur
prsod but chagrincd, and they were still

for the city's interests, il had passed the
period OF greatest intensity Of excitement
aud no result followed the circulation Of
this baud bill other than aswc suppose and
hops responses by willing volunteers. Mr.
Hidden certainly could have found q

SUICIDE In A CHURCH.
An Insane Bank Cashier Shoots Himself

ALBANY, n. Y, March S.-The mystery
over the disappearance and strange sur
roundings of Charles Downer, the teller Of
the Castleton National bank, was cleared
up today by the finding of Downer in a
dying condition in the cellar OF the church
in the village. The startling discovery
was made by Edward Fincks, the sexton
of the church. Fincks went down into
the cellar at %. m. to attend the heaters,
and he there aw two human feet protrud-
ing from between two barrels. Hastily roll
ing the barrels aside, he discovered
Browner He was still alive, but in an
unconscious condition. Help was sum-
moned and the dying man was taken up
stairs into the body of the church, but be
fore physician could be summoned he eX-
pired, his death occurring ten minutes
after he was discovered by the sexton.
1t was noticed at this time that there
was wound or cut on the left side Of his
head, near the temple, but 10 idea of sui
eide was entertained, the supposition be-
ing that Downer had fallen and injured
himself or met with some other accident
in his insane wanderings. The remains
were borne to his late residence, and DR..
James L. Hageboom, Of CastletOn, was
summoned. The doctor made a haSty exam.
ination, and ascertained that the wound
in the head had been made by pistol ball.
Search had been made in the cellar Of the
church, and the revolver, which is a
weapon of modern make and pattern was
discovered ia Il heap Of rubbish.
1t is not known how long Downer had
been in the church. He is supposed to
have left Springfield, Mass, by the Boston
e. Albany road on Sunday night, and to
have got off the train at Shodac depot and
walked to Castleton, where, in his de-
mented condition, he crawled into the
cellar of the church and there ended his
life.
Mrs. Downer received letter from her
husband on Tuesday dated Springfield
March 4, saying that he had come to him
self and was going home. 1t is believed
that he was in Chatham on Monday

DOwner'S description get off his train at
Chatham on Tuesday.
The case is a strange and unaccountable
one, viewed from any aspect. Downer,
who was about rs years of age. had always
been sober, Industrious and trustworthy.
1t is supposed that business matters
weighed SO heavily upon his mind as to
unbalance it. He was a native of Castle
ton and was highly respected. The theory
that some shortage or irregularity in his
accounts with the bank might have had

intimation he had of his pursuit was this

of his brother-in-law, saying: Here is
your man." He grew as pale as the dead,
and before he recovered his composure he
was handcutfed. When taken TO the city
prison he asked to have his wife sent for.
She showed great grief, but bore the blow
bravely. She begged that no publicity be
given to the arrest as she had married
him only three months ago. She expressed
her determination to accompany him Oh
