ALBANY, N. Y, Dec. 4.-The dynamite crank
Is thought to be Hiram D. Wilson, aged Is. an
escaped lunatic and native of Glenn's Falls,
Warren county. Wilson escaped previously
from the Middletown and other asylums His
worst signs of insanity developed fourteen
years ago, when he kept the Bolton house on
Lake George. He was OF late years talking of
making horses go faster than any have ever
gone and OF patent right Wilson, after short
terms IN insane asyiums, was discharged as
cured, or escaped. He generally celebrated his
freedom by making attempts to kill some one
who refused to meet his demands for money.
several years ago he attempted to kill man
whom he had asked for money to set tim up in
business. On another occasion when W. J. Ar
kell was in Albany, Wilson made demand on
him, threatened to kill him, and even attenpted
TO assault him in his office. He has also threat
ened the life of Goodwin Brown, one of the
state lunacy commissioners. Wilson was ar

THE PRINCE OF WALES ANNOYED.
0onebody In His Househ hold DivulxinE His
Private Aahlrs.

LONDON. Oct 16.--Since the time OF the bac-
carat scandal there have continuously ap-
peared in the Sensational papers comments
upon the private life and domestic affairs Of
the Prince Of Wales. which arc known to have
caused the Prince great annoyance. As n rule.
the royal family pay little attention to the
gossip which is retaied in the Society" jour
mails. as much OF it is the merest trash But
: these later articles are Of quito different
stamp. and betray a knowledge Of the subject
treated OF. 1t is evident that they are written
inspired by some one having access to the inner
circle. Tho Prince first complained to his pri-
vate secretary. Sir Francis knollys, and that
official instituted n series OF inquiries and de.
tsctive schemes on the theory that some Of
all efforts to trace the leak to such q source
failed. This has led to a suspicion that the Of
fender Is one OF the higher members Of the
the household ono upon whom suspicion
would not naturally fall.
1t Is recalled that about two years ago II was
notorious in Fleet street that the dissipated

ing position by securing for the peddler Of
royal gossip q position In distant colony.
Ing. II is believed that something Of the
the guilty person Is detected. all the members
Of the Princes official family will be under an
unpleasant espionage.

very interesting condition OF affairs in that Pc
