THE CZARINA INSANE.
She is Liable to Destroy Herself at Any
MOment

She is Liable to Destroy Herself at Any
Moment.
The crowning sorrow of the Cars life
has just come upon him. His wife, to
whom he is passionately devoted, and
who is the most gracious and captivating
woman that has ever adorned European
throne, has become entirely insane. Her
nervous system has already been COM
pletely shattered by the repeated at
tempts on her husbands life, and since
the terrible railway accident at Borki q
couple of months ago, when so many of
her favorite attendants lost their lives,
her mental depression has increased to O
most alarming degree.
She passes whole days In absolute ST.
lence; on other occasions she refuses to
touch morsel of food. while at times
she even fails to recognize the members
of her family. Her dementia has as
sumed the same aggravated character as
that which two years ago necessitated
the detention of Her Majesty's youngest
sister, the Princess Thyra, in private
lunatic asylum near Vienna for the space
of eight months.
The extreme gravity of the Czarina's S
case can best be estimated by the fact
that at the request of the Emperor and
of his physicians DR.. Charcot, the famous
Partisan mad-doctor, and Professor Won
Leidesdorf, the director of the celebrated
lunatic asylum at Dobling, near Vienna,
who had charge of the Duchess of Cum
berland's case, have both arrived in this
city en- route to Gatschina. Serious fears
are entertained that the Empress may at
tempt to destroy herself, and she is
watched day and night without intermis.
sion by the physicians and trained
nurses. Her recovery is extremely doubt
full, for SO long as her husband remains
on the throne the danger of assassination
will subsist, and hence she will never be
permitted to enjoy any permanent relief
from the horrible anxiety which has
wrought such havoc in her brain.--[St

IN. " special says. An interesting di-
vorce case is in progress in this city.
The plaintiff was formerly the beautiful
Miss Hattie Williamson. She married
Francis Medden of Fonda. aged 20 years.
He is worth 100000. The union was
soon broken. The lady related her ex-
perience to the Court as follows:
81 had been married only two weeks
when my husband began to find fault
about my asking him to provide. He
got dozen eggs, left four in pan and
locked the others up In his bookcase.
He got pound of raisins and locked
them up, and when he saw fit to give me
some he did. He got lard and forbade
me to use butter 20 warm the potatoes.
When 1 asked him for any money he
would tell me to 60 and earn it. One
day | wanted some meat. He said:
Don't get over pound went out to
see what the butcher had. He had lamb
chops. / asked him how much they
were. He said 90 cents a pound. / told
him that would have to ask Mr.. We'd
der whether could get any.
81 did ask him, and he told me he
could not pay that price, and that piece
of stewing beef was good enough. He
went and got it. Most of the meat he got
for the house was liver. He bought q
large liver and heart once and before
the liver was used up the heart spoiled.
He said that left it lying there and
spoiled it. When l was cooking he
would stand over the stove and say;
Aren't you putting too much seasoning
in there? The coffee he would make
himself, as he could be more econom-
ical, he said. His pies he wanted
sweetened with molasses. He would not
allow washing to be done oftener than
once in four weeks.
"Twice took IL home and once he did
his own washing. He gave me $25 the
morning he drove me away. l asked
him to come and sit down and see that
took nothing that belonged to him
He went to the piano and played Yam
kee Doodle | went to packing my
things. When got all through tolt

Secretary FairchiId Says the Removals
Were All Upon Recommendation.
New YORK, Jan. 25.---Secretary Fair
child was In fne city last night and
was interview I'd concerning the re-
cent removals OF employees of the ap-.
praiser's office in this city. He says that
all of the removals were recommended
by the special Treasury agents and by
Appraiser Stearns, and that these recon-
mondations were made after careful
investigation of the work of the ap.
praiser's office. \ large amount Of
money has been lost by the Government
by the undervaluation of imported goods,
particularly sugar aud tobacco.
In regard to the removal Of Assistant
Appraiser Sturgis and Examiner Hamill,
the Secretary says he gave their cases his
personal attention. 81 had them re-
moved" the Secretary says, "because
was dissatisfied with the way they
handled tobacco. Sturgis has long been
reported to me as being very poor and
inefficient ofIiciaR did not care to re-
move him if could avoid it, but when
we found that II was impossible to col
lect proper duties on Sumatra tobacco,
thought 1t was about time for me to act.
j am afraid we cannot reorganize the APP
praiser's stores very thoroughly before
our administration ends, but we will do
the very best we can.

Cowboys Run a Town.

A dispatch from Hutchinson, Kan, says
"Three cowboys went TO Stafford, place
about fifty miles west, Wednesday, and after
becoming intoxicated started out to run the
town. They went to livery stable, hired q
double team and buggy and began driving
up and down the streets at breakneck pace,
whooping and yelling like Comanche Indians,
and amusing themselves by shooting of their
revolvers. The marshal assisted by another
officer, attempted to arrest them, when they
opened fire upon the officers. This was
promptly returned. The team became un-
manageable and ran away, oyerturning the
buggy aud tearing off the top box of the We
hicle. The three men, one of whom showed
signs of being severely wounded, either by the
shots or being thrown from the buggy, clam
bered into the running-gear of the buggy and
thereby escaped with the team. The buggy
top and box were rlddled with bullets and
the ground bespattered with blood.n

PATERSON, N. j., Jan. 25.-Members
of "The Order of Financial Union" are
greatly exercised over the stormy meet
ing Wednesday night of Department 90
of Philadelphia. when the society was
pronounced fraud. The headquarters
of the order are in Paterson, where most
of the chief officers reside. Secretary of
State Kelsey is cited as saying that the
order never had permission to do busl-
ness in New Jersey, that 1t was fraud,
and that the committee who waited on
him in Trenton should go to Paterson
and have the whole business stopped.
The money is pouring into Patterson
every day but nobody seems to
know what becomes of 1t. The initia-
ton fee for member paying 81 per
week is So. IL member becomes sick
he is to receive $50 week, and If he is
disabled for life he is to draw $500. At
get $1,000 for which he pays only
$3.50. Each charter granted to new
department costs 500, and $35 more is
charged for local outfit. There are six
departments here and great Indignation
is expressed by the members. 1t is
probable that the matter will be brought
into the courts in day or two, as Secre-
tary of State Kelsey Is represented as
saying that the State would take prompt
action in the affair. The order has
branches in New Jersey, Pennsylvania
and Maryland.

Startling Cruelty to a six.ycar ola Boy
in Bayonne.
William jackson and Fanny, his wite,
a colored couple of Bayonnc, were tried
in the Court of Sessions, in Jcrsy City,
yesterday, for cruelty to their six-ycar'
old boy. Policeman Yore testified that
he was passing Jackson's house, on the
evening of December %. The night
was bitter cold. He stepped into the
yard to shield himself from the wind,
and he heard some one moaning in the
house. He knocked at the door and
asked: who's there?'
"It's me-" walled voice.
"Open the door," said Yore.
81 can't; I'm tied" said the voice.
The moaning continued, and Yore
burst open the door. The room was dark,
and he walked against some one partly
suspended from beam. He got light,
and found the boy hanging by rope
which had been tied around his waist
and also around his thumbs His toes
just touched the floor. Yore cut tho
rope and released the boy who crawled
to raw potatoe, which was lying on
the floor near by, and began to eat 1t
ravenously.
He said his father and mother had tied
him, and he also said his father had
tried TO burn him up. His hands and
feet were all blistered.
Mrs. Mooney, neighbor of the jack
sons, testified that she had seen Jackson
and his wife beat the boy. Once she
saw the mother drive the boy out of the
house naked. although the day was very
cold.
Dr. Luce testified that the boy when
he was discovered was emaciated, and
was, in fact, nearly starved.
Mrs. jackson, i'll her own behalf, testi.
fed that the boy was incorrigible, and
that she had to tic him when she left
the house. She did not deny that she
had tied him up with her husbands
assistance, or that she had starved him.
Prosecutor Wind6eld said that he did not
think it necessary to say anything, and
the jury convicted the pair without leav.
ing their seats. Judge Lippincott sen.
fenced them to the penitentiary for nine
months each. The boy was sent TO the
almshouse. He is a bright little fellow
