A SARATOGA SOCIAL SENSATION.
The Rev. W. J. Parkinson and His
wealthy WIFE Part Company.

A. Saratoga special has the following /;
There was something OF ripple in exclusive
circles to-day over a report which came from
BalsloD Spa that there had been mutual
arrangement and more or less sad separa-
ton In high life in that neighborly Watering
place. The parties mentioned are the Rev.
W. J. Parkinson aud his aged and wealthy
wife. Mis-. Parkinson was the widow OF
Msjor Isaiah Blood, who owned the cele-
brated axe. and scythe.wOfks at Bali
si0n Spa, and who was promi.
nent figure in state politics about fiji
teen years ago. When the Major died he
left the axe and scytne-wOrks TO his
daughter Helen, who was the wife OF Henry
Knlckerbocker, the well.kDOwn New.York.
or. The Majors widow remained single I'M
III a few Yeas ago, when she became warm
ly attached to the Rev. Mr.. Parkinson, a
Methodist clergyman with small income
The reverend gentleman, who was probably
thirty years younger than the Majors
widow, was smitten with her charms.
They were married. and TO all APP
pearances were very happy i'll each others
society. Recently 1t has been whis-
pered about that the Rev. Mr..
Parkinson was not quite so atien-
tive TO his wife as Of yoTc, and to-day 1t is

man was paid handsome sum to absent
himself forever from the gaze Of bis wife.
Mrs. Parkinson is about seyentY-fve years
Of age sad enjoys excellent health. Her
husband Is about fotty-hve years OF age and
Is quite hearty. The members OF the eYclu-

have great pleasure in communicating dis
c0yery recently made In jerusalem by Herr
Conrad Schick. IL appears to be nothing
less than the Pool called in the Hebrew
tongue Bethesda (BethSaida or Botbzalha.
ST. John v, -. An apparently uunter-
ruptcd chain of evidence from the year a.
ID. $50 to the wear 1850 speaks OF the
Probaica Piscina rs near the Church OF
st. Anne. The place spoken OF IS said
by the earliest writers TO have formerly
had five porches, then in runs. Nothing
was known OF the pool described by those
writers until quite recently. when certain
works carried on by the Algerian monks
laid bare a large tank or clstcrn cut IN the
rock 10 depth OF thirty feet. II lies under,
but not Immediately under. a later building,
a church with an apSe at the east end. The
eisternis tiity-ilyc feet long from east to west
north and south 1t measures twelve and one
hail feet in breadth. A hight OF twenty
four steps leads down into the pool
from the eastern scarp Of rock. Now,
The frst requisite for the site OF the
rooi OF Bethesda is that il should be p0ssi-
Ole to have i've porches. The only way In
which this requisite coald be satisfied Is that
the pool should be what is called a twin pool,
snch as that discovered close to the Convent
OF the sister, OF SiOn-that is TO say, two
pools living side by side, having one porticO
on each OF the four sides thus formed,
aud one between them on tile wall of
separation. Herr Schick now reports
thst to has found a continuation Of
the pool, or rather sister pool,
living end to end. sixty feet long, and OF the
same breadth as the first. We are, there
fore. able TO make out reasonably slroog
case for Identifying the newly. discovered
twin pool with the Pool OF Bethesda. The
historical evidence in favor OF this site Is
that which connects the Holy Sepulchre
with the site adopted by Constantine. In the
minds OF most, | think. IT will be acknow.
lodged that We have here the ancient Pool OF

A New York special says Joseph MUIR,
The Maiden-Lane jewellcr who has been
sending eccentric kilograms about town for
the last two days, was found hopelessly To-
sane ut Bellevue Hospital this morning. He
was brought from Long Branch to this city
last evening by DR.. Spilzkl, the wtll-known
insanity expert, and DIR. Secssel, the family
physician. and taken 10 the insane pavilion
al Bellevue. lie came very willingly under
the impression that he was about 10 secure
the arrest OF his mother-iD-law. lie was
placed In private room and at once made
himself comfortable. A peculiarly OF his
disease "a that he is so fully occupied with
contemplation OF himself that he hardly no.
tees his surroundings or the fact that be Is
under restraint. lie is,conteuted aud happy,
and Is under the delusion that he u fabulous
Nv rich and growing richer every moment.
He speaks Of magnificent diamonds, rubies,
and other jewels that his wife now wears.
and imagnes himself second Monte Cristo.
He bas commenced writing an autobiography
and is busy with that mot Of the time.
DR.. Douglas, the physician In charge OF
the insane ward. says that the case Is one OF
general paresis. and that there Is no hope OF
recovery. All that can be done is TO provide
for the comfort OF the patient.
Or. Spifzka removed Mr.. Muir TO Bloom
ingdale Asylum late this afternoon. No
trouble was experienced, as he is easily per-
suaded TO do anything his attendants desire.
His mind does not remain on one subject for
any length Of time. but he is constantly act
ing under new decisions and fancies.
Mr.. Mub's appearance indicates strength
rather than weakness OF intellect. He wears
a black moustache, has dark, piercing eye,
and his forehead Is high and well shaped.
Now that he Il declared insane his friends
and business associates recall numerous acts
OF eccentricity. lie was very quick tenn
pered and gave way TO violent expressions OF
anger when displeased. After retiring from
the firm OF II. Muhr's Sons last April and
starting in business for himself al is
Maiden Lane, be gave an extrava-
CANT lunch and entertained his friends on the
street without regard to expense. he bad
his office fitted up in an elegant manner, and
the people who furnished them and those
who painted his snowy signs found him
given to whims aud very difficult TO please.
Mr.. Muhr's business establishment was
open to-day, and business was being con-
Quoted as usual. Eessrs. Simon and Jacob
Muir were expected from Philadelphia to-
day to look after their brothers affairs for
the present.

lspccial telegram 70 The DIspatch.l

WyTHEyuLr. VA, July 1.-THE negro
who was charged with committing criminal
assault on Mrs. Metcalfe, OF Pulaski conn-
", was taken out Of the hsnds OF the officers
last night snd hanged. The particulars as
your correspondent Is able 10 gather them
are as follows:
Late Yesterday afternoon Judge fIoIbrook,
county Judge OF this county. received an la
timatIon that a mob was forming for the
purpose Of storming the Jail. lie so inform
ed the sheriff end ordered him 10 remove the
prisoner, William Henry Smith, to Lynch
burg rs quietly and secretly as possible 10
avoid suspicion. Accordingly Sheriff Har-
krader early In the evening placed the pri-
soner under guard OF his deputies
and spirited him to an unfrequeoted
spot out OF town TO await the arrival
OF the III O'Clock train. just before the
train arrived the guard conducted him TO
the depot and boarded The train on its ar
rival without seemingly arousing suspicion.
But number OF the mob had come on the
train from Rural Retreat. and before any de-
fence could be made the negro had the moose
around his neck and was being dragged
from the car. The officers were powerless
end made no further resistance. The negro
was taken about 300 yards from the depot
and hanged to 4 tree on the top OF Boyd's
Hill aud his body riddled vita bullets.
lie was found about an hour afterwards by
some citizens and brought to town. 1t is ru-
mored that he confessed his horrible crime
before he was executed, but this is doubted
by the officers The dastardy deed for which
the negro paid the awful penalty was COM
milled in Pulaski county on last Thursday,
when il was reported in the papers that the
negro had been lynched. but the officers OF
Pulaski county, eyading the lynchers. and
by travelling ali night IN buggy succeeded
In bringing The negro safely to Wytheville
and lodging him In jail at A O'Clock on
Friday morning. The woman is reported
to have since died, as she was in delicate
condition at the time Of the deed. The com
munity here is perfectly quiet, and it would
not be possible 70 realize from appearances
that anything unusual had happened.
