ksSAiLED BY LUNATlCS.
An Attendant in an Asylum
 Nearly Killed.
WORK OF AN INSANE MURDERER.

The Unfortunate Man Throttled and
 Hts Life Is Saved by tbe Timely Arrival
 of Assistance.
 ELGIN, His, March. 25.-An extraordinary occurrence took place at the insane hospital in this city yesterday. Attendant Mahoney was alone on duty during the patients' cxer else hour He is not very popular with the patients, and is generally the target of black l2oks from eyes that ordinarily are unob- servant duiled by the same cloud that hangs over their intelects. Among the lunatics in the ward is @ man named McCabe, who, in a moment of maniacal passion com mitted an atlocious murder several months ago
 McCabes is not a hopeless case, and it has even been said that he is not quite as crazy his friends make out The events of the day seem to bear out this statement. At tendant Mahoney was walking up and down the corridor wheu the patients, among them murderer McCabe, were recreating them selves, when suddenly his throat was clutched from behind and voice hissed into his ear: '1t's your turn now" It was McCabe who spoke. At the same instant the unfor tunate man was struck on the head by mop handles in the grip of six other lunatics, who had ap- parently been melted to the attack by McCabe.
 The blows rained down mercilessly upon Mahoney's head. McCabe's grip upon his throat did not relax until his intended victim had almost ceased to breathe. At that mo- meut assistance arrived in the persons of other attendants, who had been attracted to the spot by the hubbub. When McCabe saw that help was near he let go of Mahoney aud boted toward his cell, the door of which he quickly closed. The other lunatics who had struck Mahoney kept on belaboring him until they were driven off by the other attendants. Some of them chuckled and others whimpered, but all of them were SD clearly irresponsible agents of McCabe's plot that no punishment will be meted out to them.
 McCabes conduct after the assault showed that he realized fully the enormity of his infraction of hospital discipline. Before he would consent to open his cell door he par leyed with the superintendent and endeavored to make terms His cell was finally forced open and McCabe was put in a straight jacket and locked up in cell, the walls of which are padded to prevent a sUcceSsul attempt at suicide.
 An investigation into his mental condition has been ordered.
 An examination of Attendant Mah0ney's injuries show that help reacilsd him just in time. His throat where McCabe's fl gers grasped it shows many contusiols. Ills scalp and face are cut in score of p.acs where he was struck by the other lunatics
 Hereafter attendants vii! not be exDosei to similar accidents; in future they will walk the wards in couples
