Capitol avenue tonight at the request of
his father, and carried TO the station house.

father and threatened to kill his father

but meant nothing. The elder McKinnon
came down afterward, and said he would be
apprehensive if his son was not detained for
the night, and insisted on his being kept at

Fight Nearly Completed.

The Arguments in the Golf Wilson
Fight Nearly Completed.
CHARLESTON, W. VA, March 8.-The
arguments in the gubernatorial cases be-
gan this morning before the supreme court,
and the court limited each side to five hours
time. The position taken by the counsel
for Gov Wilson is that the declaration of
the result is ab olutely necessary to give
Gen. Golf the title, and without such a
declaration no court has the right to declare
him governor, and that the whole matter is
in the hands Of the Legislature.
The republican side insists that there is 70
wrong without remedy; that the people
have elected Gen. Golf, and that the GER
tificates sent up show it, and if the legisla-
ture did rot DO its duty the court must see
that justice is done.
The arguments we're completed by all but
Gov. Wilson, who will close the case for
the democrats tomorrow. His time is lin
tied to three hours. 1t is believed that the
court will hand down the decision early
next week.

FaIGNEO INSANITY.
Twenty-four Boys in a Soldiers Or
phans' school Confess.

phans' school Confess.
BUTLER. PA, March S-Senator Greer,
inspector of the soldiers orphans schools,
has completed his report regarding the
crazy boys at the McAllisterville school.
The report will be one of the most
singular and interesting ever fled
in that department at Harrisburg.
The bows were shamming. They
have all confessed. much to the confusion
of the wise and snowy-haired doctors, who
diagnosed their cases. Inspector Greer has
written the confessions of Iwenty-four boys
who played crazy. A youth named Gus
Splitter was the originator of the famous
disease.
HOW IT STARTED.
In the dormitory, one evening after the
boys had retired, he was hurting pillows,
when some boy cried PUT him out, he's
crazy" Suiting the action to the sugges-
ton, he played crazy so well that the
alarmed boys called the principal and doc
tors. His confession recites his antics and
how he often laughed at his devilish sue
cess. When the doctor bathed him
with cold water he shivered with cold,
but thought it would not do TO admit that
be was playing off. Like Splitter, the other
boys tell all that transpired during their
seeuing crazy spells. In their confessions
the boys say the motives inspiring them
were to have fun, and have their meals
carried to them The report Of Senator
Gre or proves that the school has beea I'M
Justly abused.
