ADJUDGED INSANE.
Judge Smith Sends Thomas Wilde to
Agnews ASYLUM.

Agnews Asylum.
Yesterday afternoon Judge Smith of
the superior court sent Thomas Wilde to
Agnews as an insane case. Wilde is the
man who was charged with stealing nu-
merous articles and was held on COM
plant of grand larceny, and who was
hypnotized by Tyndall some days ago.
Wilde was brought into the court room
with a straight jacket on and was
strapped to chair. Doctors Kurtz and
Hanna made an examination of Wilde
and pronounced him insane. Wilde gave
very wild and incoherent example Of
lunatic rawlings in the court room, but
withsl Assistant District Attorney Nc
Comas was rather skeptical as to his in
sanity. A commitment to Agnews was
made out, however, and Wilde was
shipped to the asylum.

this city with the intelligence that three ne
groes had been found hanging TO q limb by the
roadside nine miles southeast. Officers repaired
TO the scene Of the tragedy at once, and

at the inquest showed that a party of twenty
thirty armed and masked men went to the
house of Gilbert Daniels at midnight and
dragged Ransom out with rope around his
neck, saying he was wanted to show them
where other negroes lived who had been doing
mischief In the neighborhood. They proceeded
at once to the house where Armer and walker
lived. placed ropes around their necks and in
company with Ransom, marched them i'll the

Walker shot at the crowd and it is believed

however, and taken away.
The lynchng is undoubtedly the outgroWth
of the killing of negro desperate, named
Jarret Burns, by John Ashley, on July 18th.
The killing was the result of quarrel over
horse trade. The negroes in the community
We're greatly incensed against Ashley and

one attempted to enter Ashley's house, and

The Story Of n Telegram.

OF Il telegram which came to that place one
night last week addressed to Mr.. John

the store of Mr.. II. NJ. Green. The gentlemen
there had a talk and taking the Importance
of the message for granted, concluded that 1t
ought to be sent out to Mr.. Adams. Finally
Mr. Lindsay said he would be the messenger
IL Mr.. Jackson would hire n horse and buggy
by sending to Jackson it was found that the
horse would cost 81, it was night. This was
expensive, but it was ordered and, while wait
ing for the horse, Mr.. Il. NJ. Green said
well, L think | am intimate enough with my
friend Adams to open the telegram and see
whether it is wise to put him to this eX-
pensc." Mr.. Green opened and read the tel
egram as follows, addressed to one OF the col
ored farm hands of MIR. Adams, Il am we'll
and doing Well" That was every word, ex
cept the signature, and shout OF laughter
followed the reading. When Mr.. Adams was
Friday he made the matter more

QUININE AND PE-RU-NA.
Two Great dalarial Remedies q

Two Great Malarial Remedies Compared
Nothing is more clearly demonstrated
than that there are two distinct forms Of
malaria, which, for the want of better
names, may be denominated acute and
chronic. 1t has been recently shown that
the parasite which causes malaria is differ
ent IN the acute and chronic forms. The
acute form is commonly known as fever
and ague, or chills and fever This form
OF the disease is too well known in mala-
rlOus districts to need description. and is
generally durable by large doses of quinine.
though this is not so favorable remedy
as Pe-ru-na. The chronic form of mala-
ria is, by no means, so well understood, as
the symptoms are hardly ever exactly alike
IN any two cases. and it is rarely, if ever,
durable by taking quinine. Each case pre-
sents slightly different symptoms, the most
common ones being dull headache. sallow
complexion, furred tongue, bad taste, poor
digestion. shivering feelings, hot flashes,
cold feet and hands, and constant tired
feelings.
Qunine will not cure cases of chronic
malaria as above described. Pe-ru-na is
the only specific for such cases. Pe-ru-na
is sure to cure, leaves the system with no
arrangement and produces no drug habit
hard to leave off, which quinine will do.
Pe-ru-na is for sale at most drug stores,
accompanied with directions for use; but
those who are using it should send for the

The sight was a curious one. About
one thousand negroes from all parts Of the
county were huddled around discussing
the hanging.
There had been rumors that they would
make some demonstrations and Sheriff
Melodies had iialf dozen port holes cut
in the Enclosure and at each hole guards
with Wholesalers were stationed.
If there had been any designs on the
part of the negroes this effectually deferred
them. The two men were hanged simulta

until it was time TO take up the death
march. They received the news without
