right mind the general opinion that she
is insane remains unchanged.

statement made by Annals New York
lawyers that preparations are being
made to move against the person caus-

moved to the asylum, and all referred to
the devotion of Susan.

DUBLIN, April l3.-The anti-Parnell-
ties, Tanner and Deshea, tried to deliver
an address yesterday at Macrom. Their
voices were drowned by the hooting and
cheering of the two factions. Hooting
and cheering was soon followed by black
thorns, and the encounter was of bloody
and determined character. Charge fol-
lowed charge, the Parnellites having the
advantage for time, and then being
repulsed, only to renew the combat
more vigorously. Several of the
wounded lay for some time, and were
trampled upon by the contending forces.
The comhatannts at length rested from
exhaustion. Many of the injured are in
q serious condition. But little of what
the speakers said was audible.

ST.. LOUIS, April f3.-Dr E. w. Saun-
dars, one of the most prominent physi-
clans in this city, makes the startling
statement that within the past three
weeks he had been called to attend three
cases of violent insanity, directly caused
by attendance on and participation in
the religious meetings of Mrs. Maria B.
;Woodworth, the famous female evangel-
ist. The first case is that of q young
sman of exemplary habits, only 25 years

of q prominent merchant, and the third
an old lady. The latter will probably
recover, but the two former are hope
sassly insane.

Dead Men Tell No Tales.

SPRINGFIELD, Mass, April 13.-Edwin
L. Shumway, 85, was found dead at the
foot of Clay Hill, near Westfield. Il is
believed that two men that were with
Shumway on the night of the Boston
and Albany disaster, were the train
wreckers, and as Shumway had been
talking good deal about the matter TO
his friends, it is thought that these two
men murdered Shumway through fear
of being exposed. From all appearances
poison was given to him.

marine academy at Kiel the kaiser said
that the new navy would exercise the
chief offensive part in the next war, and
should endeavor to annihilate the enemy

ArTEMPT al TRAIN wREcKINe.

- = -Nst - .oNs's
Distractions Placed ON the New England
Railroad Tracks.
A dastardly attempt was made to
wreck Conductor Dinsmore's noon train
on the New England road to-day, and
would have very probably been success
full, but for the promptness of Engineer
Mulligan, who stopped the train before
reaching the obstruction. The train
was just rounding the curve at Water
vile when the engineers eyes caught
sight of a dark object on the track.
He slowed up and made
the horrible discovery that an attempt
had been made to wreck his train with
it's living load of human freight. The
wretches had placed two ties side by
side on the track, several spikes and
three ''fish" plates, which are usually
used at switch crossings. The ties had
been so carefully laid that they would
not attract the attention of people who
CHANGED to pass in the vicinity. The
train hands removed the obstruc-
ton and the train pre- 1eded to
this city. Conductor Dinsmore imme-
diately wired Superintendent Williams
train passed by the place about fifteen
minutes befo. the pas ,enger train was
due. The railroad officials believe it to
be the work of small boys living in the
vicinity, who have made the life of the
average railroad employee unhappy
while passing that locality. The boys
throw stones, jump freight trains and
are particularly bold.

Is Finally Abolished.

The ONCE OF BAD Debt Collector
Is Finally Abolished.
At last the demands of the taxpayers
of Waterbury have been acceded to, by
the disseminating of the office held by
Henry w. French, which was one of
the most praiseworthy and necessary
things the common council has done in
a long time. The DEMOCRAT takes pride
in the fact that of all the papers in the
city, this one alone showed up the true
workings of that lucrative position held
by this so-called collector of bad
debts. We do not wish to be severe
neither do we wish to be arbitrary, but
we do approve to the fullest extent the
action taken by last nights meeting. 1t
is something which should have been
done some time ago. The DEMOCRAT
will always be found looking after the
taxpayers interest and further develop
ments may be expected which may
cause a few who see this article some
uneasiness.
