1,.n amuck in a CranY Fit.

The High Court of Justice AT Edin.
burg has ordered James Fraser to be
detained as criminal lunatic On
July 26 last Faser, who lived at Pol
mont. in the shire of Sterling, Scotland,
and who was bank clerk, and had al
WAYS been considered Il quiet man. ran
amuck in a fit of madness. lie came
home in the evening somewhat rcti-
cent. but otherwise apparently N his
usual frame of mind. Ater supper be
procured a sword and a revolver. and
suddenly rushed into the house O. his
neighbors and friends, the ShadGcils
He looked like n maniac, and carried
the drawn sword in one hand ana the
-gpistol in the other The ShadwellS
were sitting i'll the kitchen. Mr.. shad-
we'll had barely time tho gasp out Is
that YOU Janice when Fraser was
upon him. sword in hand. Fraser aim
ed a fearful blow at Shadwells head
but the latter was too quick for HIM
and darted out of the house into tie
garden followed by his wife.
Fraser dashed aftcr him and overlook
Mr.. Shadwell, at whose head the fran
tic pursuer again aimed Il terrible
blow. This time the aim was better,
and Alr. Shadwell fell stunned to the
earth. Fraser kept hacking at the pros
trate man with his sword until life WAS
extinct. Mrs. Shadwell blavely en-
deavored to stay the murderer. The
latter. seeing the husband dead, turned
upon Mrs. Shadwell and struck blow
at her head with the sword, prostrat-
inc but not stunning her.
Mrs. Shadwell fell, and Fraser then
lunged at her with the sword, inflictng
a severe wound in the thigh. He also
hacked her arm. Fraser evidently
thought that she was dead, and he
rushed from the garden into the street.
There he encountered Il young woman
named Mary Grindley. Fraser at once
attacked her, striking her in the head
and neck, and piercing her neck with
the sharp point of the sword. The
young woman had barely time to cry
out before she was mortally wounded.
Her mothers house was near by. and
the mother ran to the door just soon
enough to receive her daughter, who
staggered dying into her arms.
By this time the village was aroused,
but no one dared to seize The mailman
until his wife came up. Her arrival
seemed to bring him to his senses, ard
he allowed herto lead him home, where
he was taken by the police. No mo-
tive for the crime was apparent, and
the authorities satisfied themselves that
Fraser had become suddenly irrespon-
Siblp.

The superintendent reports that the
new female wards, built at n cost of
$4,000, to accommodate 100 patients,

provision that suitable and special
quarters should be prepared by each
county, say at the almshouse, and in
charge Of some specially-charged ply

THIS Is SHOCKING, Mrs. FRANK.-Eman-
uel Frank. a shoemaker OF Greenpoint, called
upon a matrimonial agent in New York last
March and left an order for wife. He told
the agent that besides having prosperous
business he had more than $1,000 in bank.

THE FARMERS ALLIANCE was once
a prosperous and effective organization,
capable of doing much good to its mem
bers, but the attempt of some of its
leaders to draw it into the republican
annex, the third party, has utterly de-

stroyed it. At the annual grand coun-
Gil of the Florida Alliance, which met
Yesterday, only thirteen counties were
represented, and some Of them very

II THREE weeks before the election
republicans in Indiana are offering ten
dollars to democrats to refuse to regis
ter, how much will they offer them to
refuse to vote on the day of election ?
Every man can vote in Indiana, but
how many are interested in the welfare
of the country? And the republicans
have no need to scrimp IN their eS-
penses, for their money box is over

THE EXPENSE of electric railroads is
so small, comparatively, that it is highly
probable all the cities and towns in the
country will not only be supplied, but
be connected with each other, by them,
and that, too, at an early date. If the
one here were so extended as to make a
belt line around the city, taking in
Seminary Hill, West End, the Poor's
House and the grave yards, its profits
would be greatly increased, and if pro
duced to Arlington and Washington it
would be perfect bonanza.

The AXTI-sNAPPEEs in New York,
who had Mr.. Cleveland nominated,
have, as anticipated, in addition to their
abuse of the organization by Aose le'p
alone he can be elected, now gone so
far as to nominate municipal ticket
in New York against that of the organ
ization referred TO, he regular demo
cratic. or Tammany ticket. Reliable
intelligence from the rooms OF the ma
tional democratic headquarters IA New
York is also to the effect that few II
any of the men who were so dead set
on Mr. Clevelaud's nominationas TO in
duce the belief that they would bolt if
he were not nominated, have contrib
uted to his small election fund. If Mr..
Cleveland be elected, consummation
devoutly to be desired by all the real
friends of the country, but especially
by everybody interested in the welfare
of the South, it will be by the earnest
and effective support of those who OPP
posed his nomination because they did
not credit the anti-snappers, and did
not deem him the most available man.

Health In The Sunbeam.

Half the zymotlc disease in the world
is the result of damp, dark, and their
progeny-mold. decay and dirt-says a
writer in the Pittsburg Dispatch. Any
physician will testify to that. The fol-
lowing quotations from paper read re-
Gently before the American Public
Health Association by it's president,
Frederick Montizambert, NJ. D., f. r.
G. S., D. c. L., of Quebec, ought to be
read by every housekeeper in this coun-
try:
Everyone can do little, if only to
make one home or one room bright,
more clearly and more wholesome
Sunlight. pure air and thorough cleanli-
ness are natural enemies to disease
germs. The experiments of Koch, Ran
some and others prove that the living
germs Of consumption, when exposed
to the sunlight, lose their vitality in a
few hours, or even in a few minutes, if
the layer in which they are exposed be
thin enough, and that even ordinary
daylight, if it last long enough, will have
a similar effect. There is no sounder
philosophy than the old saying that
there is more health in sunbeam than
in drugs, more life in pure air than in
physicians skill ,"

The Maniac Wondered.

Mr. II, clergyman, had accept
ed an invitation to talk to the patients
of an insane asylum. In his address he
said he tried 10 talk on subjects they
could grasp readily, using language that
was simple. One ofthe subjects treated
was that ofthe mothers who threw their
children into the Ganges, thinking
they were appeasing the wrath of the
igods.
During his talk about this Mr.. L.
noticed one of his congregation, man,
who had his eyes riveted upon him
The mans face was study. His atti-
tude was so direct and so fendish that
it annoyed the speaker
After the discourse Mr.. L. went
among the patients. He met the man
with the glaring eyes and took his
hand.
The minister told him he had noticed
his close attention to some portions of
the sermon.
q noticed" said Mr.. L, ''that
you were particularly interested when /
spoke about the mothers throwing their
babes into the river Ganges. | would
like to know, my good fellow, what was
passing through your mind while | was
talking on that subject"
The maniac glared again at the preach
er and replied:

didn't throw you in. "-1idbits.

THE GRIPPE.

The grippe is remarkable from the
suddenness of its attack upon its VIC
tins. The first warning IS Fremont
tory chill. If Reds GERMAN COUGH
AND KIDNEY CURE be taken it will
etfeCtually ward off the attack. 1t has
been tried In hundreds of cases and
never has failed. The reason is that
unlike most cough remedies it contains
no narcotic. 1t stimulates the kidneys,
relieves the lungs of their pressure, aids
the digestion and thus enables the Sys-
tenn to throw off the disease In this
respect it is different from any other
cough remedy on the market. 1t is
well known that unless a person is pre-
disposed III some way grippe will not
attack them. This is the reason why
SO many escape while it RACES all around
them. In some unguarded way the
system has been exposed and the mi
crobe that causes the grippe enters and
begins It's work. REDS GERMAN
COUCH AND KIDNEY CURE will pre-
vent an attack and cure it after it has
started. Get it of your dealer
