Is INSANE?
He Gets Into Trouble Again.

William Hartley, who returned
from the penitentiary last week,
became involved in a fuss with his
father and brother Monday,
and was arrested and bound over to
the grand jury, charged with as
sault. Bill had made arrangements
to 60 to st. Louis that day and get
work in a broom factory, but this
new trouble will likely keep him
in limbo for some time. Some of
the officers seem to think Bill is
crazy, judging from the way he
cried and embraced his father and
brother after having a fuss with
them only a little while before.
Prosecuting Attorney Jesse says he
acted a good deal like a crazy man
and if he is insane he thinks he
should go to Fulton. Long con-
fnement and family or financial
trouble appears to weigh heavily
on Hartley's mind and it is hard to
tell at this writing whether he is
crazy or not. His actions are hard
to account for on any other ground.

Philadelphia and Glasgow, made :
narrow escape from total destruc-
ton on her last voyage from PHIL
adelphia owing to the explosion Of

on the night Of January % last.
She was In latitude 41.46, iongi-
tude 65 O6. At tho time of the 90
currence the sea was running high
and the wind blowing furiously.
Chief Officer Miller, who was on
watch at the time, says that . sud.
den gale sprung up from the NORTH
west, accompanied by . dense
snow storm, with occasional
squalls Of hail and rain. Tho
night was exceedingly dark. In .
~twinkling . ball OF ERE descended
from the heavens with = kissing
sound and exploded on the decks
between the main and mixsen
masts. Sparks were scattered all
over the ship and hundreds Of
pieces of metal Aew in every di.
rection. Holes we're burned in the
decks, and the widest consterna.
ton prevailed among the cattle
that we're being carried on deck.
Several OF the crew we're burned
and it was only through the per-
sistent. efforts of the officers that
order..was maintained. The vessels
head was kept before the bowling
