Horrible Treatmeut OF Demented Son
by HennsYlXnnia CnnnIe.


bv n Pennsylvania Couple.
DR.. Henry NJ. Wetherill, Seer retary of the
Lunacy Con! mittee OF the State Board Of
Charities. who, in company with Charles
Ii. Woltger of the Visiting Committee for
Schuy Kill County, went on Saturday to the
residence If George and Hannah Dietrich,
at Mount Caramel, Pa, 10 look into stale
mentS CONCERNING their demented son George,
aged Al years, reported having unearthed
fearful state of affairs. George was found,
a violent and dangerous maniac, in an Sxl2-
foot cellar, amid surroundings of filth. He
was prisoner by means of q chain and
paddock, which were fastened to his ankle.
There it was learned that he had been con-
fined for the past nineteen years, and has
never been given any exercise or allowed to
breathe any fresh air. His only garment
was cotton shirt; His appearance was
most squalid, pitiable and shocking. He is
large, stout and powerful looking man, but
is pale and suffers from lack of air and exer-
else, the atmosphere in the cellar being very
poisonous. The cellar was almost as dark
as staIless night, the Cnly window being
level with the ground, and the light OBJ
structed by dark curtain. The doctor re-
monstrated with the poor fellows parents,
and tried to persuade them to send him to
the State Asylum at Danville, but without
success. They said they would keep him
there while they had strength to resist.
DIR. Wetherill, finding further rem0n-
strances would avail nothing, went to Sun
bury. and there made deposition before
Resident Judge William M. Rockefeller of
the Court of Common Pleas Of Northumber-
land County. The Judge directed the Sher-
iff 20 summon the parents and the Poor Di-
Iectors of Mount Carmel for a hearing on
Saturday to show cause why the man should
not be put into the State Asylum. The case
is something similar to the one that the doc
tor SO successfully dealt with iu Venango
County, where man had been chained to a
settle for over twenty years, the floor being
worn in groove by the poor maniuc's con-
stant walking. Globe Democrat.

A RAILWAY TRUST.
Scheme for the Consolidation Of All West
ern Railway Interests.

CHICAGO, Sept. Accommodating on the
recent move of the Santa Fe Railroad in Sc
curing control of the Colorado Midland the
Tribune this morning points out the TACT
that the Santa Fe already has an indepen-
dent line to the Pacific Coast, which is sui
fcient for all its purposes, and which would
be injured by projecting another line. The
article proceeds: "The new move made by
the Santa Fe must therefore have entirely
different objects in view than those hereto
fore advanced. 1t will be found after tie
smoke has cleared away that the real pur-
chaser of the Color ado Midland is not the
Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe, but so
called bankers triangle of New York-kld-
der, Peabody & Co., Barring Bros. and Drexel,
Morgan Il Co.-the two first-named firms
being the present owners OF the Atehtson,
Topeka and Santa Fe. George G. Ma
goun is the leading financial manager
of the firm OF kidder, Peabody 81 Co., and
Magoun is also Chairman OF the Board OF
Directors of the Atchison. Topeka ana
Santa Fe and directs its affairs. The real
purpose of the Colorado Midland deal will
be found to be nothing more nor less than
another attempt on the part of The bankers
triangle TO bring about grand cousolida-
ton of all the Western railroad interests,
or, in other words, the formation of glgan-
tic railway trust, comprising all the rOaos
between Chicago and the Pacinc Coast, and
it is more than probable that Jay Gould is
a silent partner in the scheme.

Able Argument Of Counsel for the DeltllSV'
The Case Reviewed BY the Judge
& in His Charge.
Special to THE MORNING CALL

WOODSTOCK, Sept 2o.-In the Birchall
trial to-day, some unimportant evidence was
taken, after which arguments by counsel
began. Blackjack, for the defense, spoke
for five hours. He reflected on the alleged
reckless methods of the prosecution and the
apparently careless manner in which wit
ncSses for the crown seemed ready to swear
away mans life. Discussing the moral
character of his client. he said, he must adj
nit his utter inability to point out the ex-
planation Of the course observed by Birehall,
which would be consistent with his innocence
OF a dishonest purpose. The only exp.ana-
tion of BirchalI's statements to Pelley and
Benwen inducing them to come out here
which Blackjack could offer was
that Birchall expected to secure
through them money to enable him
to 20 into business and make good his prom
ise He denounced the manner of con-
ducting the Identification of the prisoner as
digraceful. The time would come when
the mystery surrounding the crime would be
cleared away. He closed with touching
reference to the devotion of Mrs. Birchall-
Osler closed the case for the crown. He
Eekiewed the story in detail and analyzed
1}i chalrs negotiations with Benwell into
one fact-a plan to entrap young Benwell to
Canada on representations lie knew would
be shown TO be false the moment he arrived
in Canada. His motive was to secure $500.
He detailed Birchall's dealings with Peiiey
and said the outcome of all this fraud and
deception could be but one thing, and that
was Blenheim swamp. The jury retired at
$3.50 o'clock, tonight.
