Hamilton Wood Tells a Story That Sounds
Like Reade's Every Hard Cash"

u
Like Reade's "yery Hard Cash."
Hamilton Wood, who dozen years ago was
a well-known Broadway. New York art dealer
and who last week escaped from the Worcester
Mass. Lunatic Asylum. tells the story of an
alleged conspiracy by which he claims to have
been placed in the asylum although sane at the
time.
"For years." said Mr.. Wood II was an ar.
dealer Broadway. l lived with my wife and
child at the Canda House, in Lafayette place
and my income was not less than $4,000 per
year.
Sin June, 1880, was suffering from over
work, and my wife. who was visiting in Boston,
was telegraphed for and she came home. She
asked me whether l was sick. and when l re-
piled that was only tired from overwork was
surprised to find that she began steps to re-
strain me.
81 was prevented from leaving the house and
] was dosed and drugged bya strange physi-
clan. One day was TO be taken to Roxbury.
Mass. to the house of my sister, so that might
enjoy rest. Instead OF to my sisters home
was removed TO the Danver Insane Asylum.
my commitment. papers being signed by my
sister.
six months afterward was transferred to
the McLane Institute in Somervile Boston,
Nhere renamed until loS4 private patient,
when / was taken back to Danver as a pauper
patient. l remained there eight years. until
January last. when was quietly taken to Wor-
cester in order to be out of the way of
friends whom had interested in my behalf.
Here was shamefu,!y and cruelty treated,
and after several attempts managed to escape
and came to New York. At no time was ever
insane.
''When I was kidnapped my business was
worth at least S25.O00 and was put out of the
way to enable some people to get control of it.
Ny wife was made a party 70 the conspiracy
through fear and misunderstanding but she
says she only received $500 from the sale of the
business.
Most of my friends and acquaintances, -
added Mr. Wood, believed / was dead these
years. But am still alive. and propose to
make it hot for those that made me an il
mate of Il lunatic asylum. Ny plans are simply
to find out what became of my business and
endeavor to get back what wus Illegally taken
away from me"

O. VI. Rogers in the Butte (Non.) Inter Mountain.
An article under the caption docs Gold
Crow" was published in your paper few days
ago, and, as have made few experiments to
demonstrate the truth or falsity of the claim, l
am of the opinion that gold does grow. have
found that when a speck of gold is placed in a
solution of chloride of gold the gold so placed
will gradually grow into small grain on a
piece Of wood or cork introduced into the
liquid.
chloride would come out from It's combination
as native gold and unite with the tiny speck OF
pure metal which served it as a nucleus. 1t is
not improbable that the gold in quartz was sim
ilarly deposited, SO that in the literal sense it
may perhaps be true despite Aristotles dog
matte statement to the contrary that gold
grows, although very slowly.

PROSECUTING THE STUNDISTS.
Almost Incredible Stories of Cruelty Re
lated.

lated.
The Moscow correspondent of the London
Daily Chronicle describes at length the I'M
sparing persecution of the Stundists in keiff.
Similar persecution, he says, has been carried
on in the provinces Of western and southern
Russia since 1875 Imprisonment Punishment,
beatings, fnings and outrages that he would
have considered incredible unless he had per-
sonGlly verified each case have been the lot of
tho wretched people.
In one village in the Kaipersteintz district
the governor had arrived early in September
for the purpose Of inquiring into the state of
religion. In this inquiry he was assisted by
local priests. Eventually the officials compelled
the Stundists to abandon their own lands and
shops to work in the communal lands during
the day and do sentry duty in the village at
night. SO that they were hardly able to visit
their homes at all. Recently even women with
nursing infants were compelled to assist in COM
munal field work. The orthodox peasants
superintendent the others and inflicted with i'm
punity all sorts OF brutality on the Stundists
whenever the latter Jagged in the fields or fell
asleep when on duty. Although eventually
menaced by mobs the Stundists still refused to
embrace the orthodox religion. TO make an
example, the village elder then one night sum-
moned police and peasantry to his aid and took
absent on sentry duty. The hut was fumigated
with noxious weed. so that the sleeping chill
dreu were almost suffocated As the mother
still refused to abjure her faith she was
stripped naked and subjected to frightful
indiGnities.
The party visited other houses where similar
scenes wore enacted. unless the intended vic
Tins had received warning and escaped to the
open steppes In one case an elder and
coachmnn violated a woman in the absence of
her husband. They dragged her about the
floor until she became unconscious and after
ward restored her TO consciousness by one
sitting on her breast and another putting smoke
from noxious weed into her mouth
The visits and the same horrible scenes were
nightly occurrence until all the Stundists were
driven to seek refuge in the steppes. If hus-
bands protested against the outrages committed
OH their wives they were numerically beaten.
Appeals to the law had no effect beyond secur-
ing reduction OF the number OF hours of com
munal work and sentry duty.
When the men engaged in the horrible work
complained that they had exhausted the noxious
weed they were informed that fresh supply
would be sent and vodka besides. All are
still enjoying freedom aud continue the atroci-
tics.

NATURAL GAS EXPLOSION.
Twelve Men Hurt Fighting q Fire in Thir-
teen-Story Chicago Building.

teen-Story Chicago Building.
The Natural Gas Company was engaged yes
terday afternoon in putting a pipe into saloon
adjoining the thirteen-story building Nos. 4o7
to 425 Dearborn street, Chicago, occupied by
Donohue 4 Henneberry, printers and publish
ers- In doing so pipe was broken and the
gas escaped into the basement. About this time
a small fire broke out from some unknown
cause in the basement of Donohue d Henne-
berry's building.
When the fremen answered the alarm they
detected the odor Of gas in the basement.
Nothing daunted, however, ten men, led by
Chief Sweeney, rushed in. At that instant the
gas was ignited and exploded with violence
sufficient to throw the fremen PROSTATE.
In an instant the least seriously njured, with
their clothing in flames. seized those Of their
companions unable to aid themselves and
dragged them from the burning room. Chief
sweeney, though with hands blistered and face
burned. was foremost in the work of rescue. A
squad Of police arrived OPPORTUNITY and as
sisted in taking the injured to adjoining
drug store. where it found that with the
exception Of Gallagher and Nolan there was
little danger of any fatal termination.
THE INJURED.
Those injured we're: Chief Dennis ]. sweeney,
burned about the head and face; Thomas Gala
Cher, truck No. Q, residing at Monroe and
Michigan avenue, very severely burned about
the face and head; Michael Nolan of insurance
patrol No. /. lives at Sholto street, very badly
burned about the head and face: Capt. John
Macdonald, burned the hands and face;
Thomas Evans, badly burned about head;
Lieut. John p. Sain OF patrol No. /. burned
about face and hands; Clinton Cleveland, en-
ployed by Donohue & Henneberry, face and
head burned; Peter Koch, engine company No.
10. badly burned about face and head; John
Shelby, pressman, employed by Donohue &
Henneberry. badly burned about head; August
6natt. pressman for Donohue Henneberry,
burned about head; VIM. Paden, pipeman, en-
CINE company No. 10, burned about head; J.
Mccarthy, truck q, burned about head and
face.
ANOTHER EXPLOSION.
The gas still continued to rush from the
broken pipe, and n few minutes later another
explosion occurred. Messages were dispatched
TO the headquarters Of the gas company for
looked az though before this could be done the
building would be completely wrecked.
Alnos: Immediately after the second explo-
sion another occurred, and then a third and
fourth. After each the fire broke out again in
various portions of the building, but fortunately
another alarm called large number of engines
to the scene and the force was ample to cope
with the flames and prevent any serious spread.
All efforts, however, to shut off the gas were
unavailing, and explosion followed explosion at
intervals of bu. few minutes until finally the
valve controlling the Gas was shut eff. The
damage to the building will be comparatively
light. being confined to the basement and the
second and third stories in the extreme north

THE MAORIs OF NEW ZEALAND.
Their Numbers and Present Condition.

From the London Times
Since the conclusion OF the Maori wars the
native population of New Zealand. who now
number about A, 600. have, as we learn from
the New Zealand Official Handbook for 1885,"
| turned their attention TO peaceful pursuits.
They own more than 10, 600, coo acres Of land
including 1888 acres in crop and grass.
IL .20S in wheat, 5,599 in maize. 16 O9S in pota-
toes, 200 in other crops and 2S.7lS in sown
grass, while they also own 262. 763 sheep. AZ 9l2
cattle and S6.259 pigs, besides horses, o; which
no account has been taken
They display considerable interest in educa-
ton, and the aptitude for learning shown by
their children attending the schools provided
for them Is described as ''most marked" Four
constituencies return each member of the ma
tive race to the house of representatives. One
OF these. a half caste, Ii a member of the execu-
tive council. and there are also two Maoris in
the legislative council. The native members "
IT is said, take keen and intelligent interest
in all questions affecting their people and are
well able to hold their own on the floor of the
house"
But the institution in which, above all others,
the natives take lively interest is the native
land court. They bring their claims before
the court, and. upon evidence being given,
judgment is given IN accordance with customs
relating TO native land tenure. Large and val
liable blocks are constantly dealt with, and
sometimes a will last several weeks. A
minister Of the crown is charged with native
affairs and the native department is under his
control. This Office is the medium by which
the Maoris communicate with the government
on matters relating TO their lands, land dis
putes. surveys, &c.
The natives. it seems. are good letter writer's,
and do not fail, as the transators of the depart
ment well know, 10 keep up constant corre-
spondence with the government. The native
question now, it is further stated. has lost
much OF the importance it once possessed. The
days OF Maori disturbances are happily passed,
and tine whistle of the railway engine may nov
be heard in places where the Maoris fought
with US in time of war. Flocks of sheep be-
longing to natives may now be seen passing
along roads in neighborhoods once the hotbed
of disaffection." The process of pacification is
still further shown by the fact that PSI of the
Maori women WERE according to the census OF
1891, married to Europeans
