ing escaped from his keeper, would capture the entire train. locomotive and all, and suc- ceed in his nellish design of perpetrating wholesale murder.
 John Pfender, cobbling shoemaker re- siding in a small house on the Brentwood road, near Deer Park, was suddenly seized with madness or acute mania, due to pro longed breeding over family troubles, one day last week, and his friends wholly unable to control him and fearing his violence for others as we'll as himself, went at once for Constable Hanna and engaged his services to take the poor man to the insane asylum and county poorhouse at Yaphauk.
 Managing after much trouble and with the assistance of others to get the powerful Ger man on the west-bound train, everything went well and quietly until Suffolk station was reached, when Pfender cunningly no ticed that the constable was less watchful, suddenly gave vent to a loud below and springing out of the seat ran up and down the car screaming and striking at every man he could reach. After several turns up and down, each time shaking off all interference, he dashed out of the car door and through the cars ahead, mounted the tender, sprang into the cab of the engine and began an as sault upon the engineer. Being small man he was rapidly being overpowered, when Fireman Daly, picking up long bar of iron, struck him heavy blow across the neck and back that felled him to the cab floor, when he was seized and bound by Constable Han- ns and others.
 For 8 time it was feared that he was dead, but after the constable had poured part of the contents of bottle he had in his hip pocket down the mans throat he began to revive, and by the time Lakeland station was reached was able to walk back to the car. Shortly after he surprised everyone by talk ing nationally, and seemed to have no knowl- edge of anything that had happened.
 By the time the party got off at Yaphauk the mans entire appearance had changed, the wild look had left his eyes, his gait was steady and he was quiet and docile. Indeed, so fully recovered was he that he was refused admission to the asylum, not being violent and not having commitment signed by two regular physicians.
 It was on the way back to Deer Park that the constable discovered the secret of this sudden change from insanity to sanity On taking out his bottle to refresh himself he discovered that instead of being bottle of whiskey, it was one of Scotch Oats Essence that he had that morning bought at the druggists for his wife's chronic headache, and which in the excitement he had mistaken for liquor and given the stricken maniac nearly half its contents.
 This great nerve remedy has worked won ders in all forms of nervous disease, but none so marvellous as this, and all through mistake. But it was lucky mistake for Pfender who has since his return home been baklpg II E0RuAaIlJ anu uaS QhU uO TeGuTn or his old symptoms.
