BROOKLYN, N. Y, Oct 26.-Mrs.
Bella Nau, the wife of August @. Nau, a
we'll known furniture dealer Of this city,
who has just been released from the
Long Island Home, a private insane asy-
lum at Amityville, by Justice Cullen Of
the Supreme Court, had been confined in
the asylum four years, and Lawyer AL
bert Bach says she was perfectly sane all
this time Mr. Bach said this morning;
''rhe confinement of the woman in an
insane asylum is the greatest outrage
that have ever heard of. She is one of
the brightest and most intelligent
women have ever met. Four years ago
she had puerperal fever, which is at
tended almost invariably by greater or
less loss of reason AS soon as she was
able to leave her bed her husband placed
her in the Bloomingdale Insane Asylum.
They would not keep her there long, and
soon discharged her as improved. Then
two physicians certified that they
thought Mrs Nau was insane, and upon
that certificate, without taking her be-
| fore a magistrate, she was placed in the
| Long Island Home.
"A few weeks ago an old blind man,
! cousin of the woman, named Bernard
! Greiner, went to Miss Lathrop and told
her that he had heard that Miss Nau was
perfectly sane, and that she was sub
| jected to the most degrading indignities
| in the insane asylum. Miss Lathrop
went to Amityville and had a long talk
with Mrs. Nau. She said that her hus-
band paid So a week for her board, but
did not send her any clothes. She had
to work for the other inmates who oc-
casiOnally gave her some of their cast
of garments.
81 obtained writ of habeas corpus
Saturday afternoon and had the woman
taken before Justice Cullen. Dr. j. e.
Bowman Of the home, with an attendant,
accompanied her, but he left the court
room before the case came up, and he
sent his return of the writ in the form
of letter, in which he simply said that
he could not assure the womans friends
that she was perfectly sane or that it
was safe for her to be released.
"Justice Cullen said he would hold an
examination on Wednesday, and advised
me to send physicians to examine into
the woman's mental condition. Her
husband, who was in court, then con-
sented to her release, saying her sister,
who lives in Poughkeepsie, was willing
to take care of her ThereuLon Justice
Cullen signed an order for Mrs. Nau 8
release. She will never go back to her
husband. -

WHO KILLED JOHN BR1oDYq
Another Mysterious Murder in ConnectI
Cut--AbsoIutely No Clue.

Another Mysterious Murder in ConnectI-
Out--Absolutely No Clue.
WATERBURY,, Conn, Oct. 26. Another
mysterious murder occurred on the mo-
torious Naugatuck turnpike last Thurs
day night when John Briody, an aged
farmer, was beaten into insensibility
and left for dead in the brush by the
roadside. Some persons passing heard his
groans and carried him to the home Of
John Foley. He could tell nothing about
the assault nor describe the assailant,
and the police have had no clues He
rallied somewhat Saturday night and
told those at his bedside that he was
good-looking stranger on the road to
whom he gave ride, and who pulled
out bottle of whiskey from which both
drank. He Immediately lost his senses
and fell into the bottom of the wagon.
He fell back ON his bed and died after
telling this much of the story and the
only clue the police have is of the good
looking stranger"
The Naugatuck turnpike, where the
assault occurred, is famous for highway
robberies. .zss

PLEASED pEPosIroRs.
superintend ent Preston's Report on the
Ulster County snvings Bunk.

Ulster County Savings Bank
KINGSTON, N. Y, Oct. 26.-Bank su.
perintendent Preston's statement to the
trustees and depositors of the Ulster
County Savings Institution, which closed
it's doors few weeks ago, has caused
great rejoicing among all the parties
concerned
The superintendent announces that
the examination is nearly completed,
that the liabilities of the bank have
been ascertained from the ledgers aud
there yet remains to be done the com.
parison of individual pass books with
the depositors' ledger balances before the
actual liabilities can be announced. The
examiners are also engaged in examin-
ing the assets and this work will be fln-
ished in a few days.
While the deficiency is larger than was
at first reported, Superintendent Preston
is confident with the cooperation of de-
positors and citizens the bank can soon
resume business. In his opinion the
present assets of the bank are capable of
paying at least eighty-five per cent. of
deposits, providing the bank can have a
reasonable time, and that ultimately the
depositors will be paid in full, with due
allowance for shriukage.
When the report of the banks con-
dition is made he will submit plan of
resumption which, II approved by the
court, will avoid the necessity Of a
long, tedious and expensive receiver
ship.
1t is rumored that the grand jury,
which is now in session, has indicted
Ostrander and Trumpbour, the default
ers. Il Is said that both are indicted for
embezzlemeut, and Trumpbour also for
perjury. The State Banking Depart
ment is censured, it is also said, for not
having made the discovery Of the bank 5
trouble years ago.

MARTINS GREAT Feat.
Opinion General That Ho is hut Poorly
Paid for His Six Days Ride.

tAANA i'i HIS HlA ANhNH AhAuNs
NEW YORK, Oct. 2G.-wnliam Martin
and his phenomenal performance
on the silent steed at Madison
Square Garden, was the principal
topic Of conversation yesterday. How
the lad, for he is not much more, man
aged TO stay ON the track 127 hours out
Of ll2, giving only ifteon hours TO rest
and sleeping only little over half Of
that time, puzzles most people. But
Martins iron constitution and his free
dom from the use Of stimulants Of any
kind solved the mystery.
The fact that Martin would re ceye but
80, 300 or SO, 900 for his work, and the
others only in proportion, was very
generally deplored. The managers OF
the affair have done themselves credit as
managers, but their treatment Of the
men financially, even though It be by
agreement, Is exceedingly parsimonious.
They could give Martin 81. 600 or $4,000
at the very least and still have hand
some sum to their credit resulting from
the race.
All the racers were about yesterday
and all insisted that they felt chipper as
-year-olds, Martin got about won
derfully well and Ashinger seemed TO be

lists that he Is the greatest wheelman
living and announces his ability to beat
Martins record and the record Of tn e
world. He says he can get plenty of
backing, too. Albert Is dead game, as
he showed in the race, but he will have
to grow some before he can reach the

MRS. nrAYnnIcKs RELEASE.


Succeed.
LONDON, Oct 2G.-The attempts of
American women to raise money 20 Sc
cure the release of Mrs Maybrick have
created much comment here.
Efforts to induce Home Secretary
Matthews to express an opinion on the
subject have not been successful, but
from talks with people who are in Mr..
Matthews confidence In such matters
and whose ideas reflect in large meas
ure Mr. Matthews views on the sub
ject, the movement stands q very re-
mote chance of success.
Mr.. Matthews overhauled the evidence
very thoroughly on the petition for a
reprieve soJI after the triul, and he Is
quite convinced that he has not kept an
innocent woman in prison, The opinion
that Mrs MaybriCk could be released on
habeas corpus proceedings does not take
root with eminent British lawyers, ex-
cept with those who are engaged in the
civil suit about the insurance money,
which is expected to be brought to trial
late this year
What is most required now Is not
money, but new evidence on which tC
! support the claim for a new trial The
| lawyers for the Crown say that nothing
| has rs yet transpired in the way Of new
| evidence which will lead any British
| Judge for one moment to consider the
| question Of a new trial.
Mrs. Maybrick must remain in prison
for many months yet unless the Homt
! OF ce in the meanwhile gets hint from
the Queen to release her.

A Swiss Town Destroyed by Flre--The
Church ATiraculously Saved.
PARIS, Oct. ga most disastrous fire
has destroyed the flourishing town of
Meiringen, in the canton of Berne,
Switzerland. The fire started in house.
and owing TO a prevailing high wind
gained rapid headway, spreading fur
iously through the entire town. Despite
every effort, building after building was
caught and crumbled. All the popula-
tion, except the children, aged and help
less, joined in fighting the flames, but
the most heroic labor was vain.
The postotfice, town hail. railway sta
tion, hotels, shops ana houses went
down like stacks Of hay The flames
curled flerceIy around the church, and
the devout Switzers made one more rally
to save their venerated place of worship.
Almost as II by miracle the fire was
borne by the gale in another direction
and the church escaped destruction.
Besides the church, the Hotel Savage
and three houses are all that is left
standing. The poor weavers of the town
saw all their property disappear. The
wind carried the flames into an adjoin-
ing wood, where the fire gradually lost
its fury and died out. More than 5000
families are homeless.
