An Insane Waiter Makes Things Live
iy In New York Streets.

NEW YORK, May 10.-A powerfully built
age forty-three, went mad this morning and
nearly caused serious trouble, and certainly
made a great deal of excitement from No.
1863 Broadway to Walker street. The place
is restaurant, kept by M. S. Lustig, and
among his walters was Eretraubel. This
morning at half-past 9 the man, who
had been acting strangely for some time,
suddenly went mad. He was in the kitchen
at the time, and suddenly cried out to three
other walters: "Chares, Henry, Chris,
hear my father and mother in heaven call
Ing me-" The men laughed at him., where
upon he seized hold of a long-bladed carver
and called out: You laugh at my father
and mother? I'll kill you! I'll kill you"
There was lively time in the restaurant
for minute or two as the mailman chased
the three walters around the tables and buff
fet. Then the pursued made for the street,
and as they gained the open air set up COM
bined yell of murder" A Tribune report

the sudden panic among the pedestrians.
Men. women and children were rushing in
all directions, screaming and yelling, while

less of traffic, fled across Broadway.
Policeman John ID. Mclaughlin of the
Broadway squad saw the crowd, and learn
ing the cause started after Eretrauble, who
was pursuing the two fleeing walters and
keeping the crowd at bay with the knife. At
Walker street the policeman jnmped upon
him and rolled him on the ground. He tried
to stab the policeman, but Mclaughlin held
on to his wrist. Then another policeman
went to his comrades help, and, knocking
the knife out of the mad mans hand. the
two quickly overpowered him and took him
to the Tombs, where he was committed for
examination,

including residences, barns and outh0uses,
were damaged by the wind. Not one escaped

known hereabouts except the Sharon cy-
clone month ago. The storm struck the
southern part Of the city and tore through
the fifth, fourth and second wards, doing
damage which cannot be estimated now, but
fully 100 buildings are completely dem0lish-

CONCORD, N. H., May 10-Since the tragi-
cal death of Perley w. Breck in Hopkinton
last winter it has been the intention of Hon.
Herman w. Green Of that place Ito make a
thorough examination Of the Breck home
stead with a view to obtaining, if possible,
some trace of the remains of Calvin, Perley's
brother, who mysteriously disappeared eight
years ago. There were circumstances con-
nected with the disappearance sufficiently
strong to warrant the suspicion that he, as
we'll as his supposed wife. who was previ-
ously burned to death in the house, met
their death at Perley's hands. The reason
for the crime attributed was a desire to re-
gain his property OF which he had been
fraudulently dispossessed by Calvin and the
woman. The places in which it was Thought
that Perley might have buried Calvin's body
were three in number. One Of them was an
old disused we'll that was covered with
blanks and stones imnss flately after Calvin's
to contain some sixteen feet Of dirty water
from which an almost overpowering stencil
arose. This was explored and examined as
well as could be done with long poles to
which were attached iron hooks or gaffs.
After little probing the hook caught in
bottom q movement that was followed by
rising OF quantities of gas to the surface of
the dirty water. The object was weighed
down by heavy stones thrown In upon 1t and
only one portion could be raised foot or
two. when 1t would tear or break away from
the graphing iron, the sensation being, as
described. that of tearing weak cloth. The
mass was, apparently, some q feet square.
The we'll will be pumped out to learn
more of it.

MR.. pINcLEY's SPEECH.
An Analysis and Explanation Of the
Tariff Bill.


Tariff Bill.
WASHINGTON, May 10.-After the reading
of the journal the House went into commit
tee of the whole (Mr Grosvenor of Ohio in
the chair for the further consideration of
the tariff bill.
Mr.. Springer, after ridiculing the imposi-
tion of duty on eggs as measure of pro-
tion to ex-President Hayes, who had ne
into the chicken business, reviewed the ee
list and declared that the American hog was
Disseminated against, in that bristles were
placed on the free list. while high duty was
placed upon wool. Was it for the benefit of
the Illinois farmer that his sleek. fat hogs
were placed on an equality with the razor
backs of Mexico? ILaughter.]
Mr.. Dingley of Maine said that there was
an impression in the minds of certain gen.
tlemen that the bill was intended to curtail
imp0rtations and increase the revenues.
While the duties on some articles had been
increased, there were many others that had
been reduced. Taken as whole the dutia-
BILE list showed a slight average incre ease.
But tariff bills could not be fairly compared
by looking at the .dutiable schedules alone.
The free lists should be taken into the calcu-
lation. In many cases, instead of reducing
duties, the articles have been placed on the
free list. That tended to increase the gener.
al average of duties If the comparison was
made between the dutiable schedules. But
it could hardly be said that this was real
increase. The bill proposed to admit free of
duty 80 per cent of the imports into this
country. Itmade the average of duty on all
imports ten per cent less than existing law,
and lower even than the Mills bill. One of
the large benefits proposed to be conferred
by the bill upon the consumer would be that
realized from free sugar. Last year our peo-
pie had consumed 300,000000 pounds of low
grade sugar. Under the terms of the bill
they would save $60,000,000 paid annually as
duty upon that sugar
After discussing in an exhaustive detail
the provisions of the bill he generalized the
methods upon which the measure had been
framed. The fact that under protection the
United States had become the largest manu-
featuring nation in the world was a refuta-
ton of the statement that protection was
failure. The pending bill was framed upon,
the theory that articles which the United
fcient quantities to supply the home de-
mand, should be placed upon the free list,
because duty on such articles appreciated
the cost to the consumer, and that was why
the duty on sugar (of which the UnitedStates
proQuced only one-eighth of its consumptian)
was tai which increased the burdens of the
people. The duty on calico. FOR fns sanoe.
was not tax but a tariff. 1t enabled our
manufacturing Industries to diminish the
cost of the article to the consumer.
He favored the bill because he would in
ducts, largely add to the opportunities and
wages of labor and enhance the prosperity
of the United States, and because 1t was
framed in the interest of the people and for
the benefit of American industry. Jap
