Redeem the Sinners.
DETROIT, JAN 81. III. Eakins, self
styled evangelist and for years a prominent
business man and politician, has gone raw
ing mad, and to-day was committed by the
Probate Court to the insane asylum at Pom
tiac. Eakins' case is very remarkable
one. He was born in 1907 at Port Burwell,
Ont, and was the son of Methodist minis
ter. When only 25 years of age he became
quite prominent in Canadian politics, and
for several years was an intimate friend of
the late Sir John Macdonald. He made
over $4,000 in sinking an oil well at
Petrolia, Ont, in 1868, and lost all the
money in oil speculation. He then came to
Detroit. and for some time was highly sue
cessful as an oil broker and dealer in tar,
etc. He accumulated fortune of over
S400, 900, which he lost during the panic of
1873. At one time he was considered worth
81, ,000,0 900. For several years he was an
ardent Greenbacker, and ran for Congress in
1884
Until 1888 Eakins was a pronounced in
fidel, and was constantly at swords points
with local clergymen. Three years ago he
became converted at an Evangelistic meet
ing, conducted by H. o. Wills, and soon
after announced himself as an Evangelist,
leaving his business to take care of itself
Gradually his mind became entirely
wrapped up in religion, and showed signs
of failing. Within the past three months
he has had religious mania in its worst
form, but because of his former position
nothing was done toward placing him in an
asylum until he began to grow dangerous.
Testimony in court showed that his late
scheme was to organize Gods Soul Saving
Company, with S., 600, 900 capital and so, 900
shares. He said he would furnish the capi-
tai, but insisted upon every ones taking
stock He claimed that unless De-
troit would indorse his plans he would
blow the whole city up with dynamite,
while he would be safe in balloon fur
nished by God. He recently sent for an
undertaken, and when the latter arrived
asked him to bury old J. b. Eakins, as
new J. H. Eakins had been born. To-day
he attempted to conduct prayer meeting
in the court room.

Cosmo has arrived here. The rebels in the
vicinity of Tangier are displaying much
activity. They demand that the Sultan
dismiss the Governor of Tsngier. Rebels
control the routes of communication to
the interior, and as a consequence
the provisions drawn from the country
districts to supply this city are running
short. There is hardly any danger of suf-
fering from this cause, as supplies to any
extent may be brought in from the East
1t is reported that the Sultan has dis
missed the Pasha of Tangier. The removal
of this official is one of the demands made

DETROIT, Jan. 9.-Charles Jubienville
lay dead to-day in lodging house, and the
conventional pennies were placed upon his
eyes to keep them shut The Coroner came,
looked at the corpse, asked some questions,
and walked away. In the room were a
number of frequenters of the place, and
among them one known as ''Scotty." The
dead body seemed to have fascination for
"Scotty." He fingered when the others
finally took their departure. One of the
crowd glanced back as he went, and was
stricken with horror to see 'Scotty" take
the pennies from the eyes of the cadaver
and hurriedly thrust them into his pocket.
You sneaked the coppers, yelled the ter
rifed fellow.
Scotty turned pale and trembled, but
made no denial. He then thrust the coins
into the hands of his accuser and the latter
started back aghast "Don't touch me
with the things" he cried. keep away"
The coppers fell upon the floor and rolled
away. The crowd fed, as if to touch them
was contagion. The unhappy cause of all

LONDON, Jan. 9.-Nothing can better in
dicate the hold Henry Irving has upon the
affections of the English people than the
sympathetic interest that is taken in con-
sideration of young Lawrence Irving, who
accidentally shot himself in Belfast, We'd
nesday. Since the news of the affair
has been published in the papers the great
actor has received so many hundred mes
sages of coincidence and sympathy concern
ing the accident to his son that he has been
unable to answer them personally, and has
been compelled to express his thanks in a
note in to-dav's Times.
Young Irving is doing as well as could be
expected under the circumstances, and if no
further complications arise from the wound
he will undoubtedly recover. He is being
nursed by his mother, and has the best
medical attendance possible to procure.
Lawrence Irving has been playing leading
parts in the provinces with Benson's COM
pany under the name of "Mr Lawrence
Just how the accident occurred is not
known, for though the patient is conscious
most of the time, he is still too weak to
talk. He had left a fellow actor who lodged
in the same house with him in Belfast only
five minutes before, and had gone up stairs
to his own apartment to study his part in
''The Specter Bride, which the company
was soon to produce. When his companion
heard the pistol shot and rushed up stairs
he found young Irving writhing in agony
on the bed. On the table was copy of ''The
Specter Bride" open, and it is presumed
that he was studying it
His habit, it appears, has been to read
passage and then walk up and down while
committing it to memory, and it is con-
cluded, he being very absent-minded, that
while so engaged he unthinkingly picked
up a revolver from a shelf near his bed, and
while carelessly and abstractedly toying
with it, it went off.
The bullet entered the chest, near the
center of the right breast, and, without per-
forating the lung, lodged in the muscles of
the back, whence it has not yet been con-
sidered safe to attempt to remove it.

THE SITUATION As TO SILVER.

The monetary conference is the topic of
greatest interest throughout the commercial
world, because the refusal of Great Britain and
Germany to offer any practical measure Of re-
lief, it is generally felt, ought to be met and
is likely to be met by the United States with
decided and effective steps. The opinion which
was at first expressed by The TRIBUNE re-
garding Mr. Rothschild's plan is now generally
entertained. 1t is felt that even as a tempo
rary palliative this plan would be of question
able service, and that the time has come for
the great commercial nations to seek in earnest
for something altogether different from tenn
porary palliative. If Great Britain and Ger
many are not now ready to meet the world
wide difficulties which their demonstration
of silver has created, it is evidently because
they rely upon the recent Democratic victory
in this country to bring about free coinage
here, and an unlimited opportunity to empty
the surplus silver of the world upon the United
States A serious currency crisis in this coun-
try would inevitably follow, with very great
temporary advantages for European traders and
bankers, and when foreign Powers have reaped
as large harvest as they can from American
foolishness, they calculate then to be able to
deal with the silver problem far more con-
veniently than they can now
These arc the reasons which have prompted
certain American delegates to mako strong
