MURDEROUS LUNATIO.

Failing In an Attempt to Exterminate His
Family He Uses His Rifle with Fatal Ef-
feet on Himself.
NEWARK, O., Dec. 3.-Great excite.
ment exists in the northeastern part of
the county over an effort Wednesday
morning to exterminate an entire fani-
lily, and the shooting of the would- be
slayer. For some little time it has
been noticeable that Carey w. Bell,
living two miles northeast of Utica, and
fourteen miles from this city, has been
failing mentally. He was not consid-
cred dangerous and none had an idea
that he would endeavor to kill
his family and then himself, as he was
quite aged and was growing fee
BILE. He was highly respected, and past
commander of Channel Post, G. A.
X. Wednesday morning, how
ever, he secured his Win
chester rifle, and after trying to shoot
his wife. son, named Hugh Bell, and
the domestic, named Daisy Wilson, and
falling in his murderous purpose, he
went to the stairway, removed one
shoe, placed the muzzle OF the gun
against his left breast, placed his foot
on the trigger and fred. The ball en-.
tered close to the heart, pro iucing a
fatal wound. His brothcr-in-law, DR..
Garrison, was called, but no hope is en-
tertained of Mr. Bells recovery. What
caused him to attempt murder is not
known.

having been detected by Moses in the

In German legend he committed the
same offence, and was given the alter

che man becomes the two children
sxasiliarly known as Jack and Jill, who
wene kidnapped by the moon. There
we see them stand with bucket or pole
scesss their shoulders, falling away, one
after the other, as the moon wanes.

CYRUS W. FIELD. the next morning
the family discovered that she had dis
appeared. 1t was five days before she
was found, several hundred miles from
New York. She had taken a train to
Buffalo and from there had gone to
Niagara Falls. She had engaged rooms
at one of the hotels near the falls and
was living quietly enough when discov-
cred.
''She told her friends when they came
to see her that she could not sleep un-
less she was within hearing distance of
the roar of the falls" said a gentleman
Thursday who is familiar with Alice
Fields case. "She insisted upon re-
naming at Niagara and her wishes
were gratified. But when she began to
talk about throwing herself over the
falls and about people disappearing
forever in the whirlpool the family
thought it about time to confine her in
an asylum. The legal steps were
taken, and without the knowledge of
the public Alice Field diappeared and is
still an inmate Of 4 madhouse. Her case
is probably hopeless one.
1.-The other unfortunate member of
the Field family who also at one time
was declared insane is cousin of Ed
ward Field. do not wish to give his
name or his exact family connections,
because he has teen pronounced cured
and is not confined in any institution at
the present time"

HE Is A MADMAN.

Young Field Attempts His Own Life. and
10 Put Under Restraint Terrible Calsml.
tics Ovsrtske Well Known Family.
New YORK, Dec S.-The Sun Wed.
nesdsy morning said that Edward
Field, who wrecked his firm, stripped
his father, Cyrus w. Field, Of all pos
sessions and upon whose life there Il
IN insurance of $500. 600, has attempted
suicide In what manner he sought 70
kill himself il not recited in the papers
ON which he was committed, by Judge
McAdafn, of the superior court, to Yer.
non house, at Mt. Vernon, as danger.
GUS lunatic.
Application for the commitment was
made to Judge McAdam last evening at
his home. This course was adopted by
the Field family evidently to avoid pub.
licity. The affidavits which were Offer
ed were all ready and voluminous.
Mr.. Field was taken to Mount Yer.
non at 9:55 Tuesday night. 1t was
learned authoritatively that his com.
mitment is but a temporary resort,
pending public proceedings to deter
mine judicially whether Mr.. Field is e.
lunatic or not.
Cyrus w. Field, who is now, it is
feared, dying. has been absolutely
stripped of his possessions by his mad
son. The following story came from
the lips of the impoverished man him.
self on his sick bed, and is repeated by
friend who heard it:
Three days after the funeral of Mrs
Cyrus Field, Edward entered his fa-
ther's sick-room and told him some Of
his difficulties AS the friend relates
1t, Cyrus Field told me that his son Ed
ward cape to him and said he must
have money to save him from ruin and
disgrace.
He did not tell his father the extent
OF his troubles. He said he must have
money Immediately to tide him overt
short time. Cyrus Field directed that
the key to the strong box should be
handed to Edward, and he told his son:
'Here is the key of the box con-
tanning my securities. Take enough
OF them, my son, to help you through
your trouble" Edward Field took the
key, and he furthermore took every Sc
curity in the box, and Cyrus Field told
me that he was now as poor as the day
he entered the world. The mystery is
where all the money has gone to.
The amount of securities taken on
this occasion by Edward from his faith
er was in the neighborhood of $500, 900.
Cyrus w. Field has not been considered
q very rich man since his heavy losses
in 1877, and this was, as he himself said,
all he had in the world.
