A CASE OF LUCID INSANITY.
Startling Stories Told by a Boy
VINO Denied His Relatives.

startling Stories Told by a Boy
VINO Denied His Relatives.
John COCHRAN was examined in the
probate court yesterday and adjudged
insane. He told very connected and
Ineligible story of his lite. which was
not particularly eventful, but was novel
in view of the testimony of other wit
nesses, showing it to be a mere phan-
tasy. He said he had been sent to the
reform school when sixteen years of
age because he would drink too much.
He was released upon a promise of
good conduct; but was again taken
there. He asserted that he was
cuts on his back for lighting with fell
low inmate. He was released again
and boarded eighteen months on the
West side with family named Coghlin,
and worked for the street commissioner.
He was asked if he was married and
said no, but he soon would be. and
handed out marriage license dated in
October last. The girl to whom
he was to be married he
had only known fifteen days.
He said he had S640 in the hands of
Coghlin, and alleged trouble with Mrs.
COghlin about the money. He was ar
rested, he said, for setting fire to
building. but there was no fire, and he
had not attempted to set any building
on fire. He asserted positively that he
had no relatives of any kind-never
knew his father and was sure he never
had mother. As a matter of fact. his
mother and sister: who live on the West
side, were then sitting in the court room
dumfounded and SpeechleSs upon hear
ing his story. The mother was called
upon TO testify and was so agtated that
she could not stand unsupported. The
sister chung to the mUtMer's arm i'm All
exceedingly terrified and trembling con-
dillon. The mother said that the boy,
who is twenty-three years old, had
began to act strangely few weeks ago,
and that whilst he had always been an
industrious and good natured boy,
yet she had become afraid he would do
some violence to her or the family.
When the boy cOntradicted her and
laughed at the idea of her being his
mother the old lady became SO agitated
thatshe could not continue her testi-
mony. Judge Morrison and the spec
tators were astounded at the story the
boy had told, after the mother gave her
statement. The boy, who had appar-
emily shown his sanity by the connected
story, changed his demeanor, and left
no doubt in their minds as to very de-
clded case OF non cOmp0s mentis.

On further questioning she confessed
that it had been intimated to her that
she was to be united in marriage to the

this gave to the quiet scholar, who had
long before married his books and never

No Lottery for Nevada.

CARSON, New, Feb. 16.-So far as
known there is no basis in fact for the
report tt at the Louisiana lottery. beaten
in North Dakota, will now seek to gain
foothold in Nevada. The Louisiana
lottery has never attempted to secure

the lottery scheme in Nevada, its object
being to shut out opposition lotteries.
This is as much as the Louisiana COM
pany has-tried to control Nevada on the
lottery question thus far.

An Enormous Traffic.

Some idea of the enormous passenger
traffic of our great railways may he OBJ
tanned by inspecting the annual report
of the New York Central railroad which
has just been made public.
In 1882 this great company carried for
the first time in its history over 10, DOC. 900
passengers; in 1885 the number carried
during the year had increased to nearly
5000, 900, and in 1889 there were trans
ported on its trains over 100000 of
passengers.

Freight Rate War Among Chi
cago Lines.
The Chicago, Milwaukee & st. Paul
railroad last evening gave notice of the
following reduction in freight rates:
The 40-cent scale of rates will be ap-
piled on business destined to st. Paul
and Minneapolis originating at Chicago
and common points, and the 3O-cent
scale on business from points east of
Chicago. This reduction takes effect on

rates as here mentioned. The matter
was discussed at the association meet
ing, held in Chicago this week, but, as
anticipated, no settlement of the diff
Guilty could be secured and now a gen
