until recently bold operator in Wall street,
has been committed to tie insane asylum

has been i'll about a year and half.
Among his strange hallucnatons is one to
the effect that Stanley has designs on his
life His Cddest fancy has to do with II.
NJ. Flagler, the Standard Oil millionaire.
His theory was that Flagler played on some
kind OF all electrical machine and that
through the playing he held Newcomb's
hand under subsection The more the idea
grew on him that he was under the
direct influence of Flagler the more violent
he became. He finally secured revolver
and proposed 10 hunt up Flager to shoot
him. It was at this time that Newc0mb's 5
family concluded that some action must DC
taken to restrain him in order to provide
against possible tragedy. Physicians were
consulted. and the application was made,
Newc0mb'S father was wealthy Louis
vile merchant and his mother belonged to
a prominent Kentucky family. Long after
the marriage she showed signs OF insanity,
and one day she told her five children, Of
whom Victor WAS the eldest, that it was
best that they die in childhood. Then
after praying for them, she threw the
three youngest out of second story
window. They were killed. and with diff
Guilty she then forced Victor and his brother
Herman out of a window, but they clung to
the wndOw-sll and were finally rescued.
She was sent to an insane asylum, where
she was maintained iaViShly by her nus
band Tor twenty-five years. The Kentucky
Legislature then aSsed a law which per-
nitted him to obtain a divorce and he mar
ried young Louisville belle. Herman
Ncwc0mb was trihe eccentric as young
man and died few years ago
from opium poison under circumstances
suggesting suicide. Victor was always
looked upon as rather queer and at the time
OF his marriage, tW enty years or so ago, IL
was currently reported that he had threat
ened to take the life of his wife unless she
married him He was for some time Pres-

LONDON, June 1.-THE Truth says that
it learns that the German Emperor has
thought fit 10 express his sentiments respect
ing the baecarat case in a letter to the
Queen. w illiam has not forgiven his uncle
for so warmly taking the part of the Em-
press in the family Quarrels which scandal
lied Europe three years ago. The En-
peTor, therefore, has seized with delight this
chance of snubbing his Uncle by criticizing
his conduct, complaining of it, and protest
ing against II from military point of view.
The Emper0r's excuse for censursng so
sharply the Princes strange method of deal
ing with an alleged military offense is that
the Prince holds the rank of the Prussian
regiment called the Blucher HussarS.
