Among sad instances Of melancholy
mania recently reported is that of New
York young woman whom the police
found wandering aimlessly around one
afternoon unmindful of the drenching
rain. The inquiry undertaken to deter
mine her identity showed that she was the
wife OF Louis Herbert, and that the couple
not long since lost their only child. Grief
for this bereavement unhinged the vo-
mans mind, and in her deyneR:ed condt-
ton she placed her affections on four
chickens. which she imagined % be her
children It was to secure medical assist
snce fGz one OF these that she sought the
Ttres+s and came under the notice Of the
police. IL is said that small chance exists
for the recovery of her reason.

wife, Horny saihfSi, Jr., ana Wife
Wittles; Lavina. John, Willie and Fred
erielS Buckley, Edwin and Willie Turner
and George Hammer hired a boat and
went rowing. There was a strong wind
blowing and the water was rough.
The boat into which the party en-
barkod was a common thirteen-foot fiat
bottomed ono and the seating capacity
was eight The pleasure seekers finally
we're seen trying to work their way to-
ward shore just north OF the pumping
station This was difficult work. as the
water was rough, the wind strong and
the rowers inexperienced.
When the boat load of pleasure seek
ers was within twenty feet OF the shore
one of the children rocked the boat
The men cautioned the child TO remain
quiet, but it was unmindful Of this ad-
vice and suddenly the boat capsized.
Heartrendlng cries were heard by Fire
man Bullock Of the pumping station
and James Lafferty, but they we're un-
able to render assistance.
Edwin Turner was the only one in the
party who could swim well. He grasped
John Buckley by the waist and although
Buckley was a heavy man he succeeded
in bringing him ashore.
In the meantime the women were
struggling in the water. Three or four
parties on shore told +hem TO cling to
the boat but their failing strength was
unequal to the task and women and
children sank out Of sight Two Of the
others had struck out for the shore and
succeeded in reaching it in an exhausted
condition.
The following were drowned, their
bodies being recovered later: Samuel
