once prominent citizen and cashier
was raving maniac. He was over

perate struggle. The physicians pro-
nounce the affection case of acute
insanity, brought on by great mental
strain. The cause of Judge Ritter's
financial trouble is assigned to injudi,
cious specuIations during the past
three years. Just before the failure
was announced Judge Ritter turned
over all of his property, worth about
$40, 600, to the bank.

DRUGGED INTO INSANITY.

SAN ANTONIO, Feb. 4.-Leona Obre-
gon, born in the far interior of Mexico,
of pure Castilian birth, polished, edu-
Gated, possessed of ample means,
young, handsome and generous, a
patriot of the impulsive Mexican type,
and favorite with his countrymen in
this city, is insane. He is confined in
a narrow room, cribbed by bandages,
and confined by dozen watchful
friends, who change watches as is
done on shipboard, and do not leave
him free of surveillance for one minute
in the twenty-four hours.
The story of his malady is strange.
For five years past Obregon has been
chief editor of Spanish weekly called
"La Cronista Mexicana.n 1t was
supporter of the Diaz administration,
and its editorials were very ably writ
ten. 1t attained a wide circulation in
Southwestern Texas and Northeastern
Mexico, and was looked upon as the
chief exponent Of the new regime of
development in the cactus republic.
Five days ago its editor was taken
by la grippe. Through the editorial
column of his weekly he announced
the fact and took to bed. 10 him
came an old Mexican woman who
volunteered to cure him "for love of
the good cause.h Obregon ac-
copied her proffered aid. She
boiled some herbs in one of
the earthen pots that are a
part of the furniture Of every Next
can household and gave it to him to
drink. In half hour he leaped from
the bed and started down the streets
in his night gown. He was caught
and dragged back. Since that time
he has been raving. He has been
placed under treatment of American
physicians.

given was q decoction of "Toloache,"
an herb which grows in profusion
along the Rio Grande and is similar
in its properties to the celebrated
"Loco,n which cIazes all animals that
feed on it. 1t is very frequently used
by Mexicans to cure rheumatism and
kindred disorders, being applied in
liniment form, but never taken in

Eustasia Canales, states that she had
no intention to poison the editor, but
inadvertently made the decoction too
strong.

Pears
Soap

To keep the skin clean
is to wash the excretions
from it off; the skin takes
care of itself inside, if not
blocked outside.
To wash it often and
clean, without doing any
sort of violence to it, re-
quires a most gentle soap,
a soap with no free al
kali in it.
Pears is supposed to
be the only soap in the
world that has no alkali
in it.
All sorts of stores sell
it, especially druggists;
all sorts of people use it.

The Report Denied.

SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. 6. - Capt.
VIM. L. Merry, ex-president of the
San Francisco Chamber of Commerce,
was seen today regarding the state
ments made by r. L. Sparks who has
returned from Nicaragua, to the effect
that work on the Nicaraguan canal
had ceased. Capt. Merry is local
agent for the Nicaraguan government
and is also interested in the develop
ment of the canal. He said that the
statement that work on the canal had
ceased was incorrect. The construc-
ton company does not profess doing
extensive work on the canal, pending
the negotiation of their securities in
Europe or until the contract has been
passed upon by congress, but advices
from the district engineer in Deem
Der last showed that there were over
400 men on the pay roll at that time,
and that work was progressing stead

THE NICARAGUA CANAL.
Discouraging Reports as to the Progress of

the Work.
SAN FRANCISCO, Cal. Feb. 6.-The
accounts which have been published
as to the progress on the Nicaragua
canal are contradicted by r. T..
Sparks, recently returned to this city
after six months residence in Mica
ragua. When Mr.. Sparks was asked
about the canal he said:
ut is all nonsense to say the canal
has progressed very far, OF is being
carried forward at all. All that has
been done is few miles of clearing
and little work on the harbor
at Graytown. G. A. Davis,
chief engineer under Menscal
told me he had received orders to dis
charge all the employees except two or
three. The people in the county have
no faith in the scheme. Many people
were ruined by buying large tracts of
land upon the proposed line of the
canal. One of the most prominent
men stated that if they get the rail
road there it would put an end to the
canal scheme, and his remark met
with the retort that if so it was ended
now, as it was certain they would
have a railroad before long"

DESTROYED THE TRACK.

Explosion Of a Gas Main Burns 75 Feet OF
Fireman Badly Injured-A Long Search
for Water.
Seventy-fve feet of the Pittsburg and
Western Railroad trestle opposite Willow
Grove station were destroyed by fire yester-
day morning. The loss is estimated by an
official of the company at $4,000. The trestle
lies along the river bank, near Millvale sta
tion, and is connected with the Junction
Railroad bridge leading to Herr's Island,
and Is used in transporting cattle trains to
the abattoir. Under the trestle is an eight
inch gas pipe of the Allegheny Heating Com
pany.

ing engine No. Sc, with James Walters as en-
gineer and Charles Smiley, fireman, passed
over the trestle. A spark from the engine
ignited the gas and an explosion occurred.
The fire blew up, burning Smiley badly
about the face. Walters escaped. The
trestle caught fire in an instant.
The Columbia and Ellsworth engine com
panies were called out, but when the scene
was reached it was found necessary to lay
the line of hose part of the way up Troy Hill
to secure water and in this nearly an hours
time was lost. When stream was brought
into play the flames were easily gotten un-
der control and prevented from spreading

point where the fire was and it extended 70
feet.
For some time past work has been done in
laying a new track parallel with the trestle
to connect also with the junction road. Yes
terday $50 additional men were sent to has
ten this work and it is thought that to-day
it will be finished, thus opening the way
again for the Pittsburg and Western road to
reach Herr'S Island.

Thrashes a Too Jealous Actor-Chaper-
oned by the Police.
A Pittsburg policeman was relieved from
an unpleasant duty yesterday by the de-
parture from this city of an actress whose
stage name is Anna Boyle, but who claims
to be the wife of Charles Moore, an actor.
The officer was employed during last week
in escorting the woman from the Seventh
Avenue Hotel to the Grand Opera House,
where she played as leading lady in the
''Vendetta" company and ba ok again to the
hotel at the c.ose of the show.
The reason of this chaperonage was the
fear of the lady of bodily harm a the hands
of Geoffrey Stein, also Of the same company.
Miss Boyle is the leading lady OF the COM
pany, and in her part accepts the attentions
of the lover as portrayed by Stein. She
claimed that he endeavored to enact the
same role when off the stage, which she par
ticularly disliked. This has been go

SAVIOR OF s1HHHRa

The Christian Religion the Only Straight
Road to Salvation.
At the Allegheny r. p. Church yesterday
afternoon Prof. D. B. Wilson preached from
the text, Jesus came into the world to save
sinners" He showed that Jesus was typical
as the Savior Of sinners in the sacrifice Offer
ing Of the Hebrews, and how the prophesies
foretold him as the true Savior, especially
the fifty third chapter of Isaiah. Jesus laid
upon himself the iniquity of all, and offered
mp his life as a sacrifice for the sins of the
people. The very nnme Jesus signifies that
he shall save sins. John the Baptist came
before Christ to prepare the way for Jesus
and announce his coming. He (John) did
not present Jesus as the greatest Of all men,
but as an humble person who would serve as
mediator between God and man. The
speaker declared one religion is not as good
as another. The Christian religion is the
only true religion. Itwas in the lead under
the Roman Empire, and is in the lead to-day
among the enlightened people OF the globe.
There is but one Jesus, and but one true re-
ligion.
