THINKS HE WILL ExPL oDE.-The case
OF Henry Keppes, who was arraigned in the
Insane Court In Chicago on Thursday, is 6
peculiar one. Keppes is probably insane,
and one CT bis delusions is that lie is full of
bombsaells and powder, and may at any
time explode. The judge heard the wit.
nesaes, and then turning to the patient,
said:
Henry, are you ineane?"
II am not, sir" promptly responded the
man.
"What is the matter with you, then?'
ut is sad story. your honor, but will
tell you My enemies have filled me with
explosives, bombshells, you know. and I
may blow up at any time. But the worst of
1t is the people won't be careful, they will
burn matches around where I am, when
they know might explode
"Weli, Henry, l know q good place
where every body is careful, and l think it
is just the place for you. Would you like to
go there?"
The patient consented to 90 to any place
where he WAS sure that there were DO
matches, and that people would not run
against him. The jury found him insane,
and sent him to Kankakee.

A HORRIBLE AFFAIR.

Three Men Shot and One Stabbed, Out
Near Romney.
Papers from the eastern portion Of the
State contain accounts of terrible fight
which took place at Hampshire county
picnic, few days ago, in which Sher'
man Price shot A. G.. Largent, II. s. Lar.
gent and Daniel Largent, and stabbed
James Alderton. 1t seems that Prices
father came on the grounds and announced
that be was "the best man there" Some
body disputed the bill and Knocked the
old gentleman down, whereupon his
son drew his gun and knife and used
them as above related. A. G.. Lar
gent was shot squarely in the mouth;
Ii s. in the fesny part Of the arm, and
Daniel had some of the surplus hair and
cutiole removed from his Uranium by a
ball that went dangerously close 10 his
brain. Alderton Was cut in the small OF
the back, the wound being about an inch
and half long. How deep the blade PEN
etrated is not known. 1t is thought that
A. G. Largent is the only man seriously
ip pjured, AZ the ball is lodged In his head or
neck somewhere. The weapons used by
Price were a 30 calibre revolver and a
large new pOcketknifs.

Special Telegram TO the Register
COLUMBUS, o., August 16.-Gen. John
Beatty comes ont this evening with an
other open letter, in which he handles
Foraker without gloves. 1t an answer to
au editorial on "Fcrakerism," which ap-
peared in the Ohio State Journal on the
18th inst, and which he says written in
the Governors Office. He clips the follow
iug and deals with particular emphasis on
it: "Under his administration the State
debt has been in three years reduced from
S4. 22O. coo to 50. $50, 900, and the interest
changed from $4,000 to $500 These
are Forakerisms Gen. Beatty Gays:
THE definition given is, think, correct
Forakerism means pTetense, sham, fustisn,
trickery, fraud, hum eug, clap trap, false.
hood, and the above quotation fills the
bill completely" He calls the authors
attention TO Article Of the Constitution
of Ohio, which says that the Auditor, Sec
retary of State and Attorney General are
the sinking fand commissioners, and as
such have the handling of the funds of the
State. He says that Foraker has nothing
to do with the State finances. General
Beatty then takes all the things which were
called "F0rakerisms." He calls attention
TO the fact that Foraker left the Ohio Wes-
lean University because colored man
was admitted. Then are enumerated sew
eral things which are true "FOrakerisms" ;
whining about the insufficiency of the sal
ary attached to an offica he was eager to
obtain; deception of Davies, Kennedy,
ONeill, Jones and Lyon under cover OF
friendliness; third term, fourth term,
and then a term for life. In conclusion
he urges the people to put their ''seal of
condemnation on trickery, treachery, puff
cry and FOrskerism."
