HORACE PHILLIPS INSANE.
The Doctors Say That He IL Suffering
from Acute Paresis.

From the Philadelphia Press To-day.
When Horace Phillips, the well-known man.
ager of the Pittsburg base ball club, walked
into the Girard house yesterday afternoon, with
Mrs. Phillips, and registered, he leaned over
in strange manner and began to reveal to the
clerks wild schemes to make money. He was
induced to 60 TO his room and shortly after
ward messenger was sent for DR.. Wolford OF
1910 Walnut street. He hurried into the hotel
shortly before o'clock and was at once taken
to the room Of the Pittsburg man. Manager
Phillips was found sitting in bed, and conceived
gigantic financial schemes. He said that he
was going to buy up all the big hotels in the
country and form "hotel trust" He pro-
posed to secure the Girard house at once and
place Chief Clerk Carmack in charge, and said
that he would have $500, 600 in cash ready at
noon to-day. He next told how he would buy
the city present of many thousand dollars for
the privilege of building wharf and extend
ing the hotel out into the river.
Manager Phillips said he would make mil
lions when he got control Of all the base ball
teams Of the league and declared that he
base ball trust" He also spoke of buying
Rittenhouse square, and, after building high
wall around 1t, he said he would place cable
car station in the square. If the city would
sell the square to him Mr.. Phillips proposed to
give $780, 900 to the poor Of the city. While
DIR. Wolford made a close examination Of Man.
ager Phillips he continued to picture other
great plans for making millions Dr. Wolford
left the hotel about o'clock, and an hour later
came back with q man who was said to be a
trained nurse and who at once went upstairs
and took charge Of the Pittsburg's manager.
Phillips seemed to be all right mentally when
he was at the Girard house with his club two
weeks ago, but he was in very poor health.
The doctors say he has paresis.

BANK EMPLOYEES ARRESTED.
Harry Seybold and George Hinnig In
Custody-$3O, 900 Missing. o

Harry Seybold, teller in the Bank of Wheel
ing, w. Va, and George Hennig, also an en-
ploye in the institution, have been arrested,
charged with embezzling the funds Of the
bank. The parties named we're taken into GUS
tody very late to-nightj and are now in charge
of the sheriff and his deputies. The amount
of the shortage is said to be large, reaching at
least $50, 900 and perhaps exceeding that sum.
1t is understood the shortage extended over a
period of about two years and that a systema-
tized method was pursued, the books being
falsifed so as to conceal the true state of affairs.
The discovery of a shortage was made some
time ago and the bank officials attempted to
unravel the mystery themselves. They ran out
two or three clues and then concluded to call
in outside aid. This was done and about ten
days ago ii became settled that at least $50, 900
was missing.
Then the question of settling upon the guilty
parties came up. and this took time, but finally
it was decided that Seybold and Hennig were
the ones responsible for the crookedness, and
last night officers started out to make the
arrest
Hennig was captured without trouble, but il
was midnight before Seybold was taken into
custody. The latter is the son of the cashier
and comes of a family standing high in social
and business circles.

GRAND ARMY REUNION.
Large Gathering at Mountain Lake
Park-Gen. Bussey's Speech.

There was q gathering Of Grand Army men
at Mountain Lake Park, Nd, yesterday. The
attendance was very large, there being posts
from Cumberland, Keyser, Piedmont, Frost
burg, Homecoming, Oakland. Terra Alta and
various points in West Virginia.
Gen. Cyrus Bussey of New York, assistant
secretary of the interior, addressed the
Grand Army men in the afternoon. The
speaker referred to the circumstances which
led to the war, and said in those days there
were but two classes-patriots and traitors.
He said nobody could estimate the suffer-
ings and privations endured by the private
soldier Such meetings as these ought to be
held more frequently, and the old soldiers
should keep alive that patriotism which
enabled them to save the Union. He said
the soldiers only asked that justice be done
to them and so long as he had power he
would give them everything he could while
he kept within the statutes, and that he
would give them the benefit of every doubt.
The speaker said that the assassinations
south Of Mason and Dixon's line Of which we
read every day are the dying embers Of the
rebellion. He devoutly thanked God that he
had been placed in a position where he had
the pleasure of reversing some Of Grover
Cleveland's rulings. The speech was replete
with army "reminiscences and war anecdotes.

Injurious Effects of Sitting.

An Albany physician declares that Americans
suffer more generally from Bright's disease and
nervous diseases than any other people, and he
says that the reason is that Americans sit down
so persistently at their work. He says: "Ameri-
cans are the greatest sitters 1 ever knew.
While the Englishmen, Germans and Frenchmen
walk and exercise, an American business man
will go to his Office, take his seat in his chair
and SIT there all day without giving any relief
to the tension of the muscles of the back The
result is that the muscles surrounding the
kidneys become soft and fabby. They lose
their vitality. The kidneys themselves soon
become weak and debilitated. Ii Americans
would exercise more, if they would stand at
their desks rather than sit, we would hear less
of Brights disease. know of New York man
who had suffered for some years from nervous
prostratiOn until it was recommended to him
to have desk at which he could stand to do
his work. Within year he was one of the
healthiest men you ever saw. His dyspepsia
and kidney trouble had disappeared and he
had an appetite like a paver."

Mrs. Maybrick's Trial.

At the trial OF Mrs. Maybrick in Liverpool
yesterday on the charge of poisoning her hus-
band, the nurse, Alice Yapp, related the Briefly
letter incident, and testified to seeing the
prisoner pouring medicine from one bottle into
another. former domestic deposed that on
one occasion the prisoner finished a prepare
ton of arrowroot. which she (witness) had be-
gun, and that she (witness) afterward noticed
dark stains on the jug that had not been there
previously. Witness also deposed that Mr.
Maybrick received medicine by post The cook
testified'th the prisoner had directed that the
London medicine be poured into the sink say
ing that Mr.. Maybrick would be a corpse If he
took another dose.
On cross-examination the witnesses gener-
ally considered that Mrs. Maybrick did her best
for her husband, but that she was set aside by
his brothers.
Two chemists doing business in the city tes-
tined that they had compounded prescriptions
for Mrs. Maybrick. The medicines furnished
by them contained no arsenic.

Causes of Hemorrhages.

From the Boston Herald.
Attention has lately been drawn to what
appears to be the fact-that there is an intimate
relation between hemorrhages and unhealthy
surroundings. An observing physician has re-
ported several cases which tend to confirm that
belief. In one instance girl of nine years had
for several days severe attacks of bleeding at
the nose which resisted all treatment. It was
found that she had a constant habit of drink
ing from we'll, the water Of which proved.
upon examination, to be polluted by surface
drainage from adjacent garden plots. As
soon as the water was denied her the attacks
of bleeding ceased. Living in the next house
was man seventy years old. He, also. bled
from the nose, and the attacks occurred fire.
him was from the same well. and he was
also exposed to another unhealthy influence,
namely, his cellar was stored with vegetables,
more or less decaying, the smell Of which pene-
trated his living rooms. He was forbidden IN
drink from the well and his friends cleaned out
his cellar. After that the bleeding soon ceased
and he regained perfect health The same ply
stefan noted the strange fact that nearly all
the women in a certain particularly unhealthy
block suffered from q hemorrhagic tendency,
which disappeared as soon as the surroundings
were made healthy. He also states that all the
serious cases Of bleeding hemorrhoids which he
living in unhealthy dwellings. In this respect,
Of course his experience has been exceptional
but much which he reports is Of great interest
and the con Illusions which he draws are very
reasonable. Sewer gas, polluted water and
other unhealthy conditions of that sort mus,
produce in time blood changes which invite the
occurrence Of hemorrhages.

A Eiendish Old Man

John Striker, a resident Of Ross township.
Ohio, Is now in Jail in Steubenville charged
with cruelty to his children. Striker is eighty
four years of age and is the father Of twenty
one children, according to a statement made by
him at the Jail He has been married three
times and his wife and half a dozen small chill
dren at present live in a miserable little howell
about lZteet square, some or miles from tine
city. He stands feet inch in his stockings
and his piercing eyes. long gray hair and full
beard give him decidedly forbidding appear
ance. His terrible cruelty to his children il Is
claimed, has been known for a couple of years.
but all who knew him feared to make a direct
complaint. Finally a letter was written to
Gov. Richards, the president of the Ohio
society for the prevention Of cruelty to chill
dren, and action was taken upon the informa-
ton thus given. This letter sets forth
IN detail some of Strikers more recent
acts Of barbarity toward his children
In one instance, it is charged, he tied
his two little girls, aged eight and ten
years, to a tree in the yard, stripped them of
their clothing. and with a hickory withe beat
them as long as he was able to swing his arm
almost killing them both. On another occa-
sion, il is said. he tied one Of the girls by the
feet. placed her feet astride Of a peg in the
stable, and then, with the girl hanging head
down, beat her until she tainted and was black
In the face. On still another occasion, it is
charged. he tied one of his sons up by the neck
and left him there until he was almost dead
and the boy is still in precarious condition
from the effects Of the punishment Such acts
OF cruelty as those narrated have been common
at his hands, IL is stated, for the most trivial
acts of childish disobedience, and his wife has
been driven TO the verge of insanity by the
treatment of her children. Neighbors have
ventured to demonstrate with the old man. but.
il is said, he has uniformly threatened the de-
struction Of their property by fire in case they
made complaint, and they have refrained from
taking steps to bring him to justice.
