CHAINED FOR YEARS.
Two Insane Brothers Found Fastened
Together in One Room Of
A PENNSYLVANIA FARM HOUSE.
One Had Been Prisoner for 8, the Other
for About Years.
PARENTS THOUGHT THEY WERE RIGHT

ESPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DIsPATcH.l
PHILADELPHIA, Dec. 1.-two insane
brothers, chained together in one room in
farm house among the mountains of Somer-
set county, were liberated by DR.. Weth-
erell, of the State Commission on Lunacy,
upon recent tour of inspection through
the western part of the State. Each one
was fastened by chain not six feet long,
which extended back under his bed to
staple in the floor, allowing him to move
only about three feet from the side OF the
bed. One brother had been chained there
eight and the other about five years.
Strange to say the one who had been there
the longest was perfectly apathetic as to
his Liberation.
The family, who were Pennsylvania
Dutch, seemed totally unaware that they
were acting cruelty in keeping the boys
chained. In fact, they rather took credit
to themselves for having kept them off the
county by not sending them to an asylum.
1t had been reported to DR.. Wetherell that
the brothers were maniacs whose outbreaks
required heroic measures to subject and
that in consequence they were cruelty
treated, DuG ne 1Ounu 10 us BUR
prise that they were, as rule,
peaceful and we'll treated. His intention
was to push the matter against their iailers
in tn e courts, but as the family promised to
free the boys and look after them around
the farm suit was not brought. One of the
brothers, however, died from natural causes,
but on Dr. Wetherelrs revisiting the place
subsequently he found the other, who had
been chained eight years, working In the
fields as quietly as any of his brothers.
AS far as could be found out from the
parents, who could only speak broken
English, the boys had always been feeble
minded and had each been chained as the
result of violent outbreak. There were
originally eight children, all of whom were
feeble-minded, and four, including the two
chained brothers, were at times liable to
violent attacks OF mania. The parents are
at a loss to account for this af1iction, as
they are perfectly sane and steady, hard
working people.
The finding of this case was revelation
to the board, as they thought all corners of
the State had been secured and all chained
lunatics committed to the State asylums.
DR.. Wetherell brought home as souvenir
of his trip the chain which for eight years
bound the elder brother.

man from the Chester county district, was
really vehement in his denial of partner
ship in any combine. He was in the race
on his own account, and if he could not
make the ripple he would not use his
strength To defeat or to assist any other par
ticular person. All of the candidates we're
his friends He was somewhat surprised at
the announcement of the candidacy of Mr..
Graham.
The Field Open to All Corners.
Of course one candidate of his own size
was really enough from the eastern part of
the State. But he had no mortgage even
on his own section. The field was open to
all comers. It seemed to him that such an
eleventh-hour dream as the uprising of
Frank Ritter, with his unrivaled enthus-
iasm and unanimity for Graham, was
destined to be rudely torn to shreds by the
terrible reality of the caucus, which, of
course, could be for nobody but Robinson,
but the action of Ritter would bring
Graham, who is really good fellow, to the
attention of the people of the State, and he
might fairly expect future honors
Mr.. Dalzen, the remaining candidate who,
the eossips assumed, might be in the al
legged combine, is absent in attendance at
the funeral of Senator Gibson at Lexing-
ton, KY, and therefore could not be seen.
His friends express a strong doubt, how
ever, that he had any knowledge of the
ham, previous to the publication of the
matter.
A New Interest in the Situation.
Whatever may be the meaning or the
effect of the strategy of Mr.. Ritter, the an
nouncement of so vigorous and popular a
candidate as District Attorney Graham has
info or in ho al
cession of Mr.. Quay, and the episode of
the ele,tion, which many had come
to think would be but monotonous mat
ter of form in the casting of the
vote of the caucus for the practically un-
opposed choice of Quay to succeed himself,
will at least have an interesting variation.
Some of the Pennsylvanians here seriously
believe that there will yet be concerted
action of those who are opposed to Senator
QUAY, to keep the members who will sup
port them out of the caucus, and thus secure
the balance of power and effect deadlock,
but others say that while the supporters of
the various candidates will give their sup
port in the caucus as long as their candi-
dates are in the field, they will not bolt the
caucus nor refuse togo in and abide by its
decision.
Senator Quay said to-day that at this
time he has no intention Of going to Har-
risburg, either for the organization of the
Legislature or for the Senatorial election.
He is not feeling we'll. and may leave for
the South in few days. Should he i'm
prove a little he will go to his Beaver
home, and as he is taking good deal of
out-of-door exercise now, in the way of
long walks, it may be expected that he will
gain sufficiently in strength to forego his
Southern trip for the present. and if so he
will leave for Beaver the latter part of this
week and spend there portion of the
HOLIDAYS.

AT THE CITY DUMPS.
Strange Sights That May Be Seen There
ANY Day Of the Week.
There Is Money in What Is Cast Away-stale
Meat, Bread and Potatoes Gathered Out
Of Ash-Piles for Human Food.

The average housekeeper knows that the
refuse of the household-that (which can
not be sold to the junkman, that which
cannot be offered TO the worthy poor, or
that which cannot be OF any possible use to
any one'-is consigned to the ash barrel and
that the ashman takes it away, but the
average housekeeper does not know that all
this refuse is as coed as gold to certain per-
sons. Yet it is fact that the odds and
ends that find their way TO the ashman's
cart furnish the means Of more than liy-
ing TO number of people, and to one man
about $500 month clear proft. This man
Is the one who has charge Of the city dumps,
which at this time are located on the mud
fats south Of Channel street. between Fifth
and Sixth.
Every day from the rising of the sun
to the setting thereof there may be seen
going south along Sixth street pro-
cession Of scavengers' carts, loaded far
up above the sideboards. bound for
the dumps. and on the other side going
north like procession of empty carts COM
ing from the dumps. The material hauled
by these carts Is cast upon the mud TO make
ga solid foundation" for some future Gov
eminent building, or a site to be occu-
pied by buildings in which will be heard
the hum and whirl of machinery. At times
nearly a hundred men, women and children,
including O few Chinese, are at work over
hauling the garbage in search Of something
