THOMAS HICKEY INSANE.

 Ills Conditien Said to Have Been
 Caused By Medicine Prescribed By
 a Trayeling Doctor.
 Thomas Hickey, a young man resid- ing with his brother Daniel H. Hickey at the corner of Liberty and Mill streets, became violently insane yesterday morn ing and jumped out of the window on the first floor of the house. He was un- der the impression that tho Knights of Columbus were plotting to kill him For several days he has been acting strangely. He became so violent yes terday that he would not stay in the house and it was found necessary to take him to the police station. He was afterward removed to the town house.
 A reporter called at Mir Iickey'S home this afternoon and learned that his broth CT had been acting strangely since last Wednesday. He had been a sufferer from catarrh and deafness and about a year and a half ago consulted a specialist named Dr Beardsley, who was stopping at the ScOvill house. He persisted in using the medicine prescribed by the doctor and it is thought that 1t affected his brain. Mir Hickey is Tn Middletown to-day making arrangements for the transfer of his brother to the insane re- treat in that place.
 The young man was employed in Holmes. Booth S5 Haydens and has many friends who will be pained to learn of his unfortunate condition.

BRIsToL.s COPPER MINE.
The Owners Wild With Excitement
 NEeI. Their. SUccCN.".

Specimens of copper were taken out of the Bristol mine Saturday that would have set the Old-timc delivers there wild with excitement. The original company produced much copper. but the financial crisis of 1851 led to embarrasslnengs. The new company. which began work two years ago, found the two shafts in the mine. as 1t had been originally worked. The two were connected by a tunnel. The proofs of copper were so abundant that the managers decided to purchase the whole tract of 1t0 acres. An independent shaft was run Iatcrally into the copper-producing section seventy feet. atI Iofding access to large quantities of tiuccan, which is rich in copper. Specimens of the rock have shown 13 per cent of copper, and have yielded in addition from seventeen to twenty-threc ounces of silver to the ton. The new shaft. which has been curried down 3J0 feet. shows rich veins of cop per and silver. Native copper was found at 290 feet. and mincraliZed rock eX- tends in the most promising manner from the excavations that have been made. At 33S feet some of the richest and pulest copper ever taken from the earth has been secured during the past three or four days.

which each possessed to a conspicuous
DE- gree-the simple but tremendously
powerful quality of disinterestedness. 1t
was tact. i. e., intelligence added to kind

successful leader; it was tao which
helped Lincoln to steer his administration
not only through the perils Of war but
between the rocks of selishness aud fac

without absolute disinterestedness. neither

With the enormous and enormously in
creasing populations. the seething social
movements, and the ever-threatening
political dangers of the new world, there
are not and never will be times of perfect
peace and quiet. Every administration,
every congress, state, community, every

Of general and local governments good
