An Insane Colored Man Fires House.
Samuel Walker, q colored man supposed
to be insane, was released yesterday after
noon from the workhouse, where he had
served two months for vagrancy. He
reached the home Of his sister, Emma
Walker, No. S09 Grant avenue, soon after sun
down, and his actions impressed his relatives
more than ever with the suspicion that his mind
was affected. Between and 9 o'clock
pm. he extinguished a lighted lamp and
poured the oil on the floor. While doing this
he was singing a hymn. Then he got some
matches and set fire to the oil. Fortu-
nateiy the flames were extnguishe5
before the house was injured much and Sam
was locked up for arson. He was taken to the
Police Court this morning and arraigned by
Clerk Potts, who asked il he was guilty or not
guilty.
The prisoners response was: II am inclined
to fulfill the scriptures"
Judge Miller heard evidence as to the prison.

Condition of Those Approved by the o
Council.

Condition of Those Approved by the Old
Council.
81 should like to know what has become
of the petition for the grading of Decatur
street," said Fred E. Sander yesterday to a
PosT-INTELLIGENCER reporter. "a petition
was presented to the old council on May
16 for the grading OF that street from Madi-
son to Wykoff, signed by majority OF the
property holders. 1t was referred to the
street committee and was lost, strayed or
stolen. a new petition was presented on
June 20 and was referred to the street COM
mittee. The committee reported on June
"a, granting the petition, instructing the
engineer to make the grade and advising
the clerk to advertise for bids. That is as
far as it ever went. although every prop
erty-owner on the street is willing to pay
the grade tax"
The old council concluded as there was
10 be change of government so soon, and
so much confusion and litigation had re-
suited from street grading, all petitions
then pending had better be deferred until
the new council and the new system of
assessment provided by the charter went
into operation. The board of public works
has made list of the streets as to which
preliminary steps had been taken. This
they submitted 10 the city council, but
the memb ers were timid about giving I'M
restricted power to the board, fearing that
as such length of time had elapsed there
might be question as to some OF the cases.
A conference committee of both houses
has been appointed to investigate each case.
and these owners. who are actively in
terested in having grading done have re-
newed their efforts before the council. As
al cannot we'll be taken up at once those
Faost zealously backed up by the properly
owners are likely to have the preference.

Whiskers and the supreme Bench.
Washington City Letter.

Justice David ]. Brewer, of the United
States supreme court, has at last sacrificed
his imposing whiskers. and today he APP
peared upon the bench with q smoothly
shaven face. His beard, that has now dis
appeared, no doubt, forever, was of truly
Western cut 1t was confined in its
growth to the chin, although it was little
more ample and luxuriant than the Napo-
leonic style. 1t was of the kind worn by
Senator Plumb, Major Martin, OF Texas,
and Ex-Governor pom Osborn. of Kansas.
But Justice Brewers beautiful black beard
has gone, he says, never to return.
The traditions OF the highest judi
cial body OF the land were too much
for it. As a body. the supreme court has
beeh one of cleanly-shayen faces. Facial
adornments OF q hirsute character have
been a rare exception. IL Is tradition OF
the court that q smooth lace adds TO the
dignity OF its owner, and consequently TO
the gravity of the great temple of justice.
Chief Justice Melville Fuller, however,
still clings 10 his long flowing mustacne,
and Justice Lamar yet reioices in the pos
session of his moth-eaten old plantation
whiskers. The example set by Jus
tice Brewer may have its effect upon
the rest of the bewhiskered justices,
for the change in the appearance
of the Kansas member of the court Is de-
cidedly gratifying Not only does he look
more dignifed. but his general judicial
bearing is more pronounced. He now
strikingiy resem oles Daniel Webster, if the
pictures OF the latter famous American be
true to life. Experiment only can deter
mine whom Chief Justice Fuller and Justice
Lamar would resemble If they were shaver,
but IL Justice Brewers example proves
contagious the supreme court may yet de-
eide unanimously TO abolish boards and
mustaches, and will their whiskers to the
uuiudiciai world"

1T PLEASED SULLIVAN.
How John l.. Expressed HE Admiration
OF "Davy Crockett"

HOW John l.. Expressed HE Admiration
OF "Davy Crockett"
Chicago Times
I" i saw John T.. Sullivan in his play at
the Haymarket last week. said Edwin
Corbin, the syndicate lawyer, to a reporter,
land that reminds me OF something funny
saw John l. DO in Pittsburg once.
:" / happened TO drop into a performances
of Davy Crockett one evening at Pitts
burg theater while on visit to that town.
Sullivan at that time was the star of q
travelling theatrical combination, half vari-
ETY. and half athletic. and was on the bills
TO appear at another house in q sparring
act after the play.
ITO advertise his presence all the more
thoroughly John l.. sat in proscenium
box, dressed in evening clothes Beside
him sat his then wife. / saw by his face
that Sullivan was completely Disguised
with the play. Those scenes in which
young DavY Crockett makes love to
Eleanor seemed to be especially obnoxious
to the big pugilist. Ateach tender passage
tain motions with his head, which always
accompany expressions OF WEAKNESS when
made by gentlemen of Sulivan's tempera-
ment and characteristics. Finally he be-
came so heartily sick of the whole business
that he turned his broad back squarely on
Vic stage diiO SdlSu up az tue galleries..
But a change came over John in the act
where Davy and Eieanor have taken shell
ter in the log hut in the woods and are be-
sieged by the wolves. The simulated howl
ing of the savage animals first recalled Sui
ivan's attention TO the stage and the play.
The supreme danger and the heroic cour-
age that must meet it as depicted in the
scene touched the most susceptible chords of
the fighters nature. The wolves howled out
side and thrust their red fangs through
the chinks of the hut. The bar that had
secured the door was gone. In some way
must Crockett fight the beasts. The pros
pective combat interested Sullivan. He
leaned forward and peered into Frank
Mayo's face as keenly as he would have
watched the features OF an opponent in the
prize ring. At intervals as the action pro-
crossed he would turn to his wife and make
remarks, at the same time nodding his
head approvingiy.
when Crockett barred his right arm and
heroically thrust it into the iron brackets
which should have held the lost wooden
bar Sullivan joined in the applause with
all his mighty strength. And when, in the
next scene, Crockett took his arm. torn,
bleeding and frozen, from the door where
it had been living barrier and held 1t up.
Sullivan leaned forward, and, in q voice
that reached the highest gallery god, said:
Now OATS what call actin. so / do.

several years ago to make his fortune in
the West. He says that man who had re-
turned from Alaska via Seattle told him
that a Young man named Brannon, aged
about % years. and answering the descrip-
ton of his brother, had attempted suicide
at Montserrat, a Seattle suburb, by ex-
ploding persuasion cap in his mouth.
Enclosed with the letter was note from
w. Aureal Whittier, chief OF the Wor-
cester police, asking that the Seattle chief
spare neither pains nor expense in finding
the brother. as he came of good family
who are greatly worried at his disappear
ance. ana they connect the report of the
suicide with him. The police here know
nothing OF any such attempted suicide, or
any such suburb as Montserrat.
