STUCK. ON THE STEPS.

A Silent Stranger With a Peculiar, Fascina-
ton for City Hall Causes Considerable
Comment-Lost His Mind From Drink
Last Fall.
City Hall is haunted-not by white-robed
spirits, but by a plain human being with a
wheel loose in his head. Persons having
occasion to pass municipal headquarters
several times a day have noticed for a week
past a man about As years old sitting silently
on the steps. To all appearances he scarcely
goes away from his post long enough to get
something to eat, and there has been con-
siderable speculation as to how he manages
to exist. Inspector McAleese endeavored
to solve the mystery last evening by asking
the man why he persisted IN sitting there.
The reply he got was:
This is a strange part of the world, if a
man cannot sit where he pleases, if he dis
turbs nobody"
"But what is your object in remaining
here so long?" asked the inspector.
simply because 1 want to-" replied the
strange individual. Then, again, l have
found nobody with authority enough to
reason as you should desire"
"Well," said the inspector, "you had bet
ter not come around here much more or I'll
have you locked up"
you'll have to lock me up then," was the
reply, and the stranger tipped back his
slouch hat and looked straight at the in
spector with vacant, wandering stare,
which revealed the secret of his actions at
once. "Why do you disturb me?' he contin-
ued. "t seems to me l have as much right
to stay around City Hall as Magee, Finn and
Mcknight. You can arrest me if you want
to, but as soon as l get out will come back
here and sit down. In this free country if q
man can't sit where he pleases, just tell me
what he can do?''
The man is John Rourke. For many years
he was employed by Booth Finn. He was
always considered of ordinary intelligence,
and worked hard until last fall when rela-
money came Rourke quit work and for sew
eral weeks he celebrated his relatives death
by keeping gloriously drunk. Soberness re-
malned stranger to him until the money
gave out, and then it was found he had lost
his mind.
The first evidence of his demented con-
dition was his great attachment to City Hall
steps. He would go and take his position
there and all the entreaties of friends could
not get him away. After one or two short
sittings he apparently settled down on the
steps for life, and is said to have remained
there 36 hours without moving away once to
get food.
Through the efforts of some friends, in
Guiding James Booth of Booth & Finn, he
was sent to the Dixmont insane asylum.
How he got away from there his friends
been about the city for almost a
week. Rourke seems to have a peculiar
affection for the big stone steps
night there. Early in the evening he takes
his position there and sits until daylight
comes in the morning. In most cases he de-
clines to talk to those who address him. Mr..
violent and is dangerous man to leave at
large. What the police will do is not de-
cided yet. 1t is proba BILE, however, that he
will be sent back to DiXmont.

An official of the National Tube Works,
commenting yesterday on the item printed
in THE DISPATCH a few days ago relating to
the reorganization of the company, said:

the Monongahela Furnace Company, the

forming the National Tube Works Company
The concerns mentioned have always vir-
works, but in order to facilitate matters it

of the different amounts agreed on to repre-
sent each company, as have been published,

are not far wrong"
