He Fooled the Coachman.

On the evening of the 9th. Judge
Thomas M. Cooley, of Ann ArDor, cnalr-
man of the Interstate Commerce Com
mission, was sitting reading in his libra
ry when his negro coachman, armed
with a double barreled shot gun, en-
tered. The Judge was satisfied from his
appearance that he had become in
sane, but betraying no alarm he
asked him what was the mat
ter. The negro replied that he
had decided to kill the whole family be-
cause they talked too much and left
him no time to think. The Judge told
him he agreed with him and that he
would attend to it. BY tie use of con-
summate tact the Judge succeeded in
modifying the madnan until he at last
laid down his gun and at the Judges
suggestion lett the room. AS soon as he
was out of hearing the Judge telephoned
to neighbors and in short time depu-
ty sheriff placed the coachman under
arrest. Doubtless wholesale and most
frightful tragedy was avoided by the
nerve and GOODNESS which the distin-
guished iurjst exhibited.
