A Merchant Becomes Insane.


d. L. Sttbbison, one of the most
prominent merchants of Mortified,
was taken to the Rochester asylum for
the insane. He had been in doubtful
condition for some months, but lately
had become violently and dangerously
insane, and for the safety Of his family
and others with whom he came in con.
tact it was thought best to commit him
to IN asylum. He was the proprietor
of cigar factory and did large bust.
Who Was Davis?
A foot-race was run at Mortified BE-
tween Howard Watson and q stranger
who had assumed the name of Franz
Davis for the occasion. A stake of Sc
was put up for the winner, and about
two score of men drove out to the sub
urbs to witness the race. The result
was the usual one in cases of thif
kind. Watson was simply outclassed.
Davis ran away from Watson. Several
hundred dollars changed hands on the
result.

TURN ON THE LIGHT.
A Bill Is Taken From the State Capitol
Before Enrolment
DOODLE CHARGES ARE PREFERRED
All in Connection With an Indianapolis
Street Car Measure.
DoIkGs OF THE STATE LEGISLATURES

INDIANAPOLIS, Feb. 2S.-In the Senate
this morning there was warm fight over
what is known as the suburban street rail-
way bill-a measure which provides that
street RAILWAYS from the suburbs may enter
the city over the tracks of the existing line.
Some weeks ago the bill passed the Senate,
but a reconsideration of the vote was
ordered, though not taken. After the bill
had passed the House it became necessary
for the Senate to either expunge from the
record the order for reconsideration or pass
the bill anew. On the motion to expunge,
the fight of this morning occurred.
During the discussion, Senator Hudson
stated that an undue effort to influence his
vote by the street railway company had been
made Senator Burke, who was opposed to
the bill, charged that Ex-Governor Gray and
County Attorney Spencer had taken the
suburban street railway bill and carried it
about town yesterday after it had passed
the House and before it came back to the
Senate.
The motion to expuuge finally carried by
a vote of q to 9. and the bill now goes to
the Governor tor his approval.
The Senate ordered an investigation of
Senator Burke's charge that the bill had
been taken from the 0enate. MI. spencer
says: "Mr. Gray and had heard that the
street railway eompany's lobby intended to
get the bill and carry it away or change it
in enrolment so as to ruin its value. Ac-
cordingly yesterday afternoon we took
copy of the bill, which we knew was
correct, and went to the enrolling room of
the House to compare It with the bill in the
clerks hands. We got the bill and COM
pared it with the one we knew to be correct.
We had it only few minutes, and did not
take it away from the State House at all.
1t will give us great pleasure to be investi-
gated, and have the investigation presented
to both sides in this matter"
During the entire time this bill has been
under consideration each side has been
charging the other with corruption. The
other day a sensational story was sent out to
the effect that the Mccormick Harvester
Company, of Chicago, which is large
stockholder in the Citizens Street Railway
Company, had brought its influence to bear
on Senator Magee, one of its attorneys, and
that President j. C. Shaffer, of the Street
Railway Company, had tried to influence
Senator Magee by telling him that he could
make himself solid with the McCormicks
by voting against the bill. Little credence
was placed in the story here, where Mr..
Shaffer is known.

the demons at such times as these gentle
men were not acting the buffoon on one OF the
upper floors of the fiat. The costumes were
elaborately DESIGNED upon the same scale of
historical" accuracy. The action suited
these surroundings.
Until we are ready to 60 the full length
of these Oldest and most authoritative pre-
cedents, we had better leave the simple
minded peasants of Ober-Ammergau in
possession of their present monopoly of the
dubious privilege of representing sacred
characters in the costumes of the period"

The Gondoliers for Victoria.
The following bits of musical gossip came
by cable to THE DISPATCH from London:
By special request of Queen Victoria, Gill
bert and Sullivsn's comic opera, "The
Gondoliers," will be produced in grand
style before Her Majesty and her guests at
Windsor Castle on Friday evening, March
6. D'Oyley Carte's English opera venture
can hardly be said to be as successful as he
and his friends hoped it would be. 1t is re-
the English rights for Messager's new
comic opera "Basoche."
The =, 12-year-old violincellist, Jean
Gerardy, continues to be the musical sensa-
tion of London, the ability of this precocious
genius being the main topic of conversation
in musical circles. Henry Lee, of New
York, has finally decided, after considerable
hesitation and contradictory announce
ments, not to produce ''The Henrietta" at
the Lyceum until March %. He will de-
vote the interval to the new burlesque of
Cleopatra" Miss Floy Vita, a young
American, will make her debut in this
version of Cleopatra"
Miss Ella Russell, of Cleveland, was one
of the artists who sang at the first concert of
the "Famiglia Artistical" at Milan last
week, and she scored an enthusiastic sue
cess. Signor Bennedetto Cairat has pre-
sented Miss Russell with a valuable paint
ing as token of his appreciation of her ar
tistic efforts. The newspapers of Milan were
unanimous in their laudatory comments
upon Miss Russell's success.

LIFE IN MEXICO.
AN AMERICAN LADY'S OBSER-
VATIONS.
Strange Folks and Scenes-Masons
at Work, Begsars, Peddlers
and Dashing Horsemen
Majesty of Law.

Opposite our house for years, says an
American lady, writing from the City
of Mexico to the Chicago Herald, stood
the Bucarille bull-ring, the most fash
ionable place of its kind in Mexico. 1t
stands there no longer. On the LIST OF
March it was levcled to the ground, the
owners estimating the property too val
liable to lie unproductive. Surrounding
this piece of property was high stone
wall. Measured by the eye it was more
than three times the height of the stone
masons who are now at work upon it.
Like all Mexican masonry it was built to
last for ages, being three feet thick, If
not more. Since the bull-ring was de-
molished and the dust and rubbish
cleared away it has been a matter OF
much interest to the neighbors to know
why all those workmen were put to
work repairing the wall. A few days
ago the reason revealed itself. At regu.
lar intervals, about seven feet from the
