ed him to begin the construction of an
electric railway from this city to Wash

ed the proposition of the street commit
tee, requiring him to deposit 81, 900 to
be forfeited if he should not begin the

but as the money market is now rather
easier he had decided to carry out his
original intentions and begin the con,
struction of the road within month.

4 SAD CAsE.-Those who have read
De Quncey's Confessions of an Eng
lish Opium Eater and have been hor-
rilied ut the picture that author draws
of the terrible appetite he had acquired
for the drug. could have been still
further impressed last night by an OBJ
icct lesson had they visited the station
house, where they would have beheld q
Young man, with his body speckled
with sores, making all the movements
and gestures incident TO a bad case of
corea st. Nitus's dance, moaning,
weeping at times breaking out in de-
mouiacal laughter Ever and anon
he scraped at his flesh like a
man convalescing from smallpox
after the itching has set in, pleading
piteously in the meantime for more of
the enchanting drug. Sidney Wilkin-
son is the name of the unfortunate
man. He is native of Baltimore, and
was seen yesterday evening by Lieut..
Smith roaming aimlessly through the
streets. The lieutenant dispatched Of
ticers Bremen and TIGER after him, but
when Wilkinson saw their coming he
took to his heels and ran like deer in
the direction of the Petersburg"
suburb. Upon arriving in that locali-
ty he unceremoniously entered the
house of Georgianna Nelson, and when
the officer found him he was pre-
pairing to inject morphine into his flesh.
The crazed man was taken in custody
and his apothecary shop seized. Upon
being placed in the station house he
was provided with coffee and made as
comfortable as possible, but his rawlings
for the drug were incessant. DR.. Gu
lick prepared a prescription which it
was supposed would quiet his nerves,
bat the potion seemed to have no effect
upon him. Wilkinson removed most
of his clothing, dug at his flesh with his
nails aud moaned and raved until it
was deemed advisable to let him apply
the needle. Upon being allowed to in
dulge his practice he diluted the drug,
filled the syringe and adjusted the needle
in the most hurried and excited man
ner, and sticking the point in his abdo-
men soon sent the drug into the "ircu-
lation. There seemed to he har,iiy a
square inch on any part OF his body he
could reach which was not iutl,med
by the puncturc of the needle: One
injection in no way sufiiced, and with
drawing the instrument he sought other
clear spots into which to insert it. Lt.
Smith had in the meantime telegraphed
Marshal Frye, of Baltimore, that Wilk.
inson was here and the marshal had
sent word to hold him. Between ten
and eleven o'clock Detective Hogan
arrived and escorted the unfortunate
man back to his home in Baltimore,
