The Paradise Craze.

Washington Ratchet
A man who met with shipwreck off
the coast of Cuoa and had to take to an
open boat, tells of the peculiar halluci
nation, called by the sailors the para
disc craze" brought Oh by exposure to
the terrific heat of the SUMS rays. He
says: 1.-The sea appeared to be trans
formed into mighty meadow, bright
with flowers and musical with the song
of birds. Cool springs burst from crys
tai rocks and trickled over golden sands
and men and maidens danced beneath
the trees. They seemed beckOning me
to join them. and | plunged over the
side of the boat into forty fathoms OF
brine. the bath brought me to my
senses and l reached the Cuban coast
more dead than alive"

that it is generally known that Syrup

New YORK. Nov. 2G.-The stock market, as
on several days past. was under the control
OF the bear forces. Reading and New Eng
land were the special objects of attack and
declined from 54$s to 1888, and from 4.7s to
4ll2 respectively. The losses otherwise were
fractional. The shipment of S50l0 of gold
and the talk about additional exports of the
yellow metal next week we're used with some
effect against the market Rumors that Jay
Gould was seriously i'll also induced raids on
certain stocks. Toward the close a steadier
feeling prevailed, owing chiefly to the favor
able character of the bank statement and
partial recovery ensued. The net changes
for the day III a majority of the railway shares
were 18G18s per cent The sales were 1851
shares of listed and 1920 unlisted. The
market closed steady.

Iichigan's Ex-Secretary Denies the
Charges of MaIfeasance.
LANSING, Mich, Dec. 25-rhe end of the
scandal in which ex-Secretary of State So
was involved has practically been reached,
Notwithstanding that the investigating
commission has nd finished its labors, and
will not report until next Wednesday.
Yesterday Soper announced that he would
not contest Secretary Blacker's appoint
ment, and would not further embarrass the
governor in any way. Blacker has been
sworn in, and Soper will return home Sun
day, once more n private citizen.
Will Get OF with u Roprimand.
Soper voluntarily filed statement at
noon yesterday to tho investigating com
mission containing his full account of all
the trouble and in which he denies all
statements of Warden Davis, of the Jack
son state prison, in regard to the alleged
malfeasance of the cX+secrctary. 1t is
probable that Soper will get oft with only
a reprimand for official carelessness from
Governor Winans and the investigating
commission.

Saturday ID. b. LOveman 81 Co.'S great
dry-goods house, occupying three numbers
on Market street at the southeast corner
of Eight street, was first to take fire, and
from there it spread to twenty-five other
buildings, destroying them all. The burn
ed buildings were all business houses, the
heaviest losers being d. T.. Loveman 6,

Frightful Leap of Two Women.
Two women jumped from the upper
windows of one of the buildings. Mrs.
Hurst was severely but probably not
fatally hurt, and the other woman Sc
verely injured. The fire spread so rapidly
that the persons employed in the building,
of whom there were hundreds, had barely
time to make their escape A strong wind
favored the flames and the firemen found
it almost impossible to get close enough to
throw water effectively. The total insur-
ance is about $3.50, 900.

BEDLAM AT A FIRE.
Flames in the Eastern Michigan
Insane Asylum.
MAD MEN AND WOMEN GO FRANTIC,

Few with Terror, but Most with Exui-
tation Spectators Scarcely Less Ex-
cited Than the Lunatics-A Blood Curtl-
ling Sight in the Flames-None of the
Inmates Lost.
PONTIAC, Mich, Dec. 2S.-Fire was dis
covered in the north wing of the Eastern
Michigan insane asylum ut IL o'clock Sat-
urday morning. The flames spread with
fearful rapidity, and with the limited facil-
tiles at hand the fremen were powerless.
Fifteen minutes after the first alarm was
sounded the occupants of the wing 500
women, were turned loose Screaming
frantically With terror the maniacs surged
through the corridors, where the air was
already filled with smoke. The sight filled
the demented creatures with terror. Some
ran like wild mammals, trampling their
slower companions in their mad efforts to
escape. Others were paralyzed with fear
and stood staring into the roaring fire.
The attendants performed deeds of hero
ism in the endeavor to rescue the helpless.
Naked Women at the Windows.
Rushing hitler and thither, dragging
viz hNoANhsihS ohNFp iloiii thSh iOoiho, thSy
drove the insane women into the open air
When some were once upon the outside
they would break and rush for the build
Ing again. Several women were seen at
the windows after the patients were sup
posed to be all out. They had torn every
vestige of clothing from their persons and
were laughing in hideous glee at the APP
proach of the flames. They were standing
in the midst of sheets of fire gesticulating
wildly, with their long hair flying
disheveled about their faces. BY 1880
o'clock the entire north Wing was wrapped
in flames. But in spite of the sight above
referred to, all the inmates were rescued.
Spectators Were Much Excited.
Spectators declare they heard shrieks of
anguish from the awful pyre, as of de-
mented victims yielding their lives to the
flames but in the confusion it was impos-
sible to distinguish the screams of the
frightened maniacs without from the out
cry of the victims within, if any there
were. A strenuous effort was made to con-
vey the patients to the hospital for safe
keeping. 1t was utterly impossible. Some
few of them were induced to retire to the
shelter, but the great majority Of the 500
demented women were huddled together
in the cold, piercing wind and gazed with
terror upon the fire.
