Put up for Insane.

KANKAKEE, Ills, May l6.-James
Eagan, formerly a wholesale liquor
merchant in Chicago, is having hear
ing before Judge Deres of the circuit
court. Eagan is trying to get a dis
charge from the Illinois Eastern
hospital for insane at this city. He
claims that while in his place Of bust
ness in Chicago one day last January
an officer entered and escorted him
to Judge Prendergrass' court room,
and that he was tried as to his
sanity there without any chance be-
ing given him to subpoena witnesses,
he was found insane and brought to
this city. 4 number of his business
acquaintances and members OF Chris
society decided to investigate the case
and have come to the conclusion that
there is conspiracy to defraud Eagan
of his property, which is valued at
Sl50,O00. Eagan has been a privileg-
ed character at the hospital, having
had his private horse and carriage
and allowed to drive where he pleas
ed. Eagan is said to be friend of
DR.. Cronin, and connected with sever
al organizations. Seven physicians
swore that after an acquaintance from
a month to six weeks and from fire.
quent interviews on what were rep
resented to be Eagan's hobbies, they
could find nothing to suggest in
sanity.

Big Blaze in Canada.

QUEBEC, May 16.-A disastrous fire
broke out early this morning at st.
Sauveur, in the house of Mrs. McCar-
non, Waller street. The flames spread
with great rapidity through the wood
en- district, which surrounded the
place where the fire originated. A
large number of houses on Waller,
Chenel, st. Peter and st. Marc streets
are burned. Total loss so far in pros
pective may be S150,000. At O'Clock
the fire was still raging, and it was
impos sible to guess its limits. The
people were dismayed at the rapidity
with which the flames jumped from
one wooden building to another. Help
was asked from this city, and Quebec
engines were quickly sent, but owing
to lack of water their efforts were
crippled. Battery B was finally
called out and rendered valuable as
sistance in fighting the flames. At Z
o'clock this morning the fire had
about burned itself out, having de-
stroyed over hundred buildings.
While the military were preparing to
blow up some houses 70 check the
speed of the flames, pre-
mature explosion took place in
one of the houses, killing
Major Short and Seargeant Wallace,
of battery B., both were buried in the
ruins and at 8 o'clock their bodies had
not been recovered.

Go Hear MiIburn.

The lecture at the Presbyterian
church, corner Houston and North
Flores streets, by DIR. Milburn, the
blind orator of this continent, will
be genuine treat. He is
perfect master of his art as a
speaker of pure unadulterated Eng
fish, and his oratorical flights are
most imprisoned. Concerning his
OratOry let the following suffice:
London Christian WOrld-"As an
orator he is superior to any we have
ever heard
Harper's Weekly-"The Rev. VIM.
Henry Milburn known wherever the
English language is spoken as the
blind man eloquent
New York SUBTLE is q man of
great eloquence and unusual cultiva-
tiOn.n
Milwaukee News-"His graphic de-
scriptiOn, his matchless eloquence,
when heard can never be forgotten
London Times-"As an orator of the
foremost rank, he may well challenge
comparison with and stand by the
side of the first that have appeared in
this country within this generation"
Louisville Journal" There are,
doubtless, some who excel him in buff
fCOnery, which commands the popular
applause, but for refined beauty of
language, genuine wit, noble thought,
and Oftentimes deep pathos, we
have not known his equal. With
personal convictions we now pro-
nOunce him to be most truly "The
Blind Man Eloquent"
These half-dozen press notices
might be multiplied a hundred fold.
These are but samples of world
wide opinion. In the literary centers
of two continents he stands supreme.
San Antonio can not afford to miss
this opportunity to hear him whom
all conspire to name the "Blind Man
Eloquent"
