cause of Their Presence.
Since the insane asylum OF Farnhurst
was transferred to the State, there has
been considerable trouble ut the aims
house with paupers who are more or less
demented, or who have occasional spells
of insanity. These persons are COM
lnitted to the alnshouse ia the customary
manner, by the trustees, who often do
not know OF their weak mental condition.
When the insane RBytum was under
Superintendent Guthrie's control as a
county institution, paupers who de-
veloE ed dangerous or troublesome form
of insanity could be taken from the alma
house and put in the insane asylum and
under treatment without ceremony. Now
1t requires a medical examination by two
doctors AID other forms Of commitment
TO get patient entered into the insane
hospital. There are also other difficulties
in the way Of sending psupers there.
There are two or three inmates OF the
Rlmshouse who cause NO little trouble
and annoyance from weak mental con-
dition, and have ut times been violent.
One Of them, big, strong Italian, de-
velops Btreaks for hammering tin canH in
imaginary forms OF beauty and for walk
ing for long distances In perfectly
straight lines, starting off suddenly ard
RAPIDLY and walking through or clearing
any obstruction. Recently he started
towards the almshouss porch from
point in the yard, and the large gsrsniam
bed in front of the porch being in front
of him, he walked through it in order to
keep his straight line.
This week he wandered away to Della
ware CITY where he was captured by the
authorities and returned to tAe aims
house in irons.

William M. CLOUD, member of tho
Board of Trustees Of the Poor from
Rrandywine hundred, exhibited splen-
did sample of wheat grown on his farm
at the meeting Of the trustees at the
almshouse last week. II was the Ditt's
Longberry variety, which is new In this
State. Mr.. Oloud raised 200 bushels
on little less than seven acres,
which is little over 28 bushels TO the
acre and 10 considered wonderful yield
for Delaware. Henry A. Rowland, the
trustee from St. Georges hundred, has
harvested crop Of 1,940 bushels of
Fultz wheat from 9S acres. DR.. j. Now

of 1850 on 100 acres on his farm in Kent

misfortune made Him Insane.

Baltimore American special.
LAuREL, DEL, July 30.-About two
weeks ago Samuel Warrington's family of
six children suddenly developed several
cases Of black measles, from which two
died in few days and were buried in the
same grave. A third child died this
week. The others, though at the very
verge of death, lived on, but are still in
a doubtful condition. Mr.. Warrington,
the father, was heavily weighed down
with the shock from the hrst, and after
the death of the first two became
strangely silent, save at periods, giving
vent to incoherent mutterlngs. But after
the death Of the third child he relapsed
into q seemingly half-unconacious state
until the day Of burial, when he sud-
denly became violently insane. His
rawlings are pitiable in the extreme and
excited much sympathy. The other chill
dren, it ia thought, will recover. MIR.
Warrington is wsll.to-do farmer and
lives upon his own farm about six miles
from Laurel. He has always been re-
markedly devoted to his family, and his
poor wife is almost Frustrated. The I'M
fortunate man is at his home, guarded
and cared for by neighborly kindness,
until medical examination can be given
him.

A CRISIS IN HAWAII.

The Natives Show Their Strength and the
Outlook Is Gloomy for the Ministry.
The outlook is gloomy for the Hawaiian
ministry and for all foreigners, as the
native party under the leadership Of Robert
E. Wilcox, who figured as leader of the
recent insurrection, scored sweeping
victory at the election on Feb. S, electing
nine -tenths Of the representatives in
both houses. This victory was secured
by stirring up the strong feeling of native
Hawaiians against foreigners. When the
natives vote solid, as they did this time,
there is no chance for foreigners. The
meeting Of the legislature will probably be
the signal for an attack on the ministry.
Wilcox was tried last October for
high treason, but was acquitted,
the government being afraid to
punish him. He is the idol of the
natives, and sweats he will have the scalps
of all those now in power. Kalakaua is
suspected Of being in sympathy with Will
cox, as the natives are all loyal to the king,
and he would probably get greater power
were the present cabinet ousted. The Ina
tives are SO bitter against foreign domina-
ton, which is supported by force Of arms,
that if they fail in the legislature they are
expected to try another insurrection.

An Indiana Towns Oficers In the Courts
ON a woman's Charge They Disregard an
Injunction- Other Matters East and West.
All the city officials, consisting Of the
mayor, councilmen, city attorney and
street commissioner Of Vincennes, Ind,
have been arrested at the Instance Of Mrs.
Clarissa ]. Pauley, who had enjoined them
from grading street next to her property.
The injunction was not observed and
therefore Mayor Murphy, City Attorney
Goodman and others were arrested for in
direct contempt Of court. The fight that
has led to this wholesale arrest has been q
spirited one, and has been going on for
two years. The Ohio and Mississippi
Railroad company was perpetually re-
strained two years ago from raising the
track to correspond with the grade of the
street, and last December Mrs. Pauley re-
covered damages from the city in the
courts from injury to her property from
overflow of water in the cutters. The
fight in the courts will be a bitter one.
The city attorney will enter suit against
Mrs. Pauley for $4,000 damages for false
imprisonment. The mayor will also ask
for $4,000 damages for the same reason.

HEART AS WELL AS HEAD.

An Indiana Judge Who Possesses Both in
an Admirable Degree.
The most prominent families OF Wayne
township, near Indianapolis, Ind, have
been deeply interested IN the outcome of q
divorce suit between W. M. Calvert and
his wife, the latter a prepossessing little
woman, who had the sympathy Of all her
neighbors. The husbands complaint
charged her with an act in violation of her
marital vows, and in her answer she ad-
mitted her guilt, but charged cruelty upon
the part Of her husband. On the witness
stand she was as disingenuous as child,
and it was evident that the courts sympa-
thy was keenly excited. An effort was
made to reconcile the parties, but the hus-
band sternly refused to have anything to
do with his trembling wife. Thus forcei
to mako ruling, the court said:
If she erred he has been much to blame
himself. He left her alone and unpro-
tected. She had done what 1 never
knew to be done before-she
confessed her single mistake and did
not come into this court and add
perjury to her sin. You can not tell me
she is bad woman. will not believe it;
and the records Of this court shall not con-
denim her. She shall not return to her
friends with brand upon her. I shall not
give divorce either on the complaint of
the plaintiff or the cross complaint of the
defendant. I shall enter decree dissolv-
Ing the marriage, and so the records shall
show"
Turning to the only chill of the parties,
the court asked whom it preferred to- live
with. Mamma" lisped the little one, and
the court entered an order making it ward
Of the court till of age and giving the
mother its custody. He then ordered Cal
vert to pay the mother $4,000. Everybody
was astonished at the outcome, and
deathlike stiffness prevailed through the
court room during the delivery Of the
Judgment.

FROM OCEAN TO OCEAN.
Work on the Nicaragua Canal Reported to
Be Making Satisfactory Progress.

Work on the Nicaragua Canal Reported to
Be Making Satisfactory Progress.
Chief Engineer Menocal, of the Mica
raueua Canal company, who has arrived in
New York, says that work is progressing
systematically and satisfactorily and as
as rapidly as the nature of the
task and the engineering plans will
permit. The telephone line is
finished to Castillo Viejo, where it is to
connect with the Nicarauguan govern
ment's wires, which, when completed, will
establish telegraphic communication be-
tween the east and west coasts. Laying
pipe for supplying the line of the works
with pure water, clearing the route Of the
canal for ten miles,.up to the first lock,
and the construction Of the breakwater
at Greytown, including the quarry
ing and transportation of the rock
and the gathering Of the other material for
it, furnishes employment to about 1000
men. The breakwater is to be 1,700 feet
long and about $50 feet of it is now COM
pleted and progress is being made at the
rate OF eight feet per day, with large guam
titles of piling and material on hand, SO
that dredging the channel will COM
mence as soon MS the dredges, already or
dered, arrive at Greytown, and vessels
with heavy material for the canal work will
soon after be able to enter the harbor.
Mr. MenocaI saws that the affects of the
breakwater SO far as constructed
are precisely what he anticipated and
predicted they would be, in arresting
and drifting Of the sand and consequent
filling up of the harbor's mouth. The
health OF all the men Is good.
