DEED OF A MANIAC.
4 Lunatic Creates Panic on the Chit
cago Board of Trade-Three Persons
Shot by Him.

A Lunatic Creates . Panic on the Chi
cago Board of Trade-Three Persons
Shot by Him.
CHICAGO, Sept ga maniac who
had gained admission to the board OF
trade as a spectator fred three shots
into the crowd of brokers on the
floor yesterday, seriously woundlng
nj. l. Bennett, one of the most
prominent members of the board, and
Charles W. Roswell, a telegraph oper'
ator The wretch was arrested mo-
ment later and locked up.
The man who did the shooting fred
his revolver five times. He stood up at
the rear end of the gallery and fired
twice at the wall and then pointing the
weapon toward the floor fired three
more times.
Mr.. Bennett fell apparently mortally
wounded and was carried into the sec
retary's room while physicians and sur
geons were sent for. Streams of
blood flowed from the unfortunate
mans neck and a gaping wound pre-
scented itself.
Roswell was picked up senseless and
laid on a table. The ball entered his
chin on the left side and ranged down.
ward.
Almost before the shooting had
ceased, Thomas Barrett, who seemed
to have more presence of mind than
any one of the hundreds of bewildered
people at hand, rushed up to the gall
lery and caught the man. The latter
took the matter very coolly and did not
seem to realize what he had done.
The man who did the shooting was
evidently a lunatic. He was a stout
man of middle age. poorly dressed, and
for time refused to give any name
but Chicago" Subsequently he gave
the name of Cassius Belden, of sos La
Sale avenue, Chicago.
The news that murder had been
committed on change spread like wild
fire and $1,000 people swarmed through
the building.
At the first crack of the revolver,
every eye, of course, was turned to-
ward the gallery. A puff of smoke as
cended slowly and gave instant warn
ing as to the location OF the murderous
lunatic
The next instant the revolver was
again pointed. apparently at tne crowd
to the west of the wheat pit. Then
there was frantic rush from that spot.
Every one succeeded in getting out of
range.
Again the crowd stopped from its
frantic rush and one -..ore looked to
the gallery to see where the revolver
was to point next time.
Realizing that the lunatic was going
to empty every chamber in his revolver
at the crowd, everybody now began
finding safe places. Commission men
with orders in their hands squeezed
against each other behind the
big bulletin boards. The little
smoking rooms in the corners
were literally packed with human
beings An insane mob rushing from
burning theater never crowded more
furiously against one another than did
these board of trade men as they went
down the broad stairs. The people in
the corn pit and in the vesselmeu's aisle
at the south of the exchange room were
now comparatively safe for the lunatic
was firing over their heads at the crowd
beyond.

The Missing Kiockson.

KANSAS CITY, Mo, Sept "a
Grand officers ot the Knights of
Honor, of Kansas, called on Chief
Speers yesterday morning and inquired
for George Klockson. the missing
treasurer of the organization, who is
supposed to have been in Kansas City
Tuesday night They were inclined to
the belief that he had met with foul
play and suggested the possibility Of
him, but the chief told them that there
was nothing TO bear out the theory.
He does not think that KloelHsor
passed through the city. The knights
left for their homes at once.

REMARKABLE CASE.
Why Payment of an 4. u. U. ". Insurance
Certificate Was Refused.

st. LOUIS, Mo-, Sept. ga remark
able defence of suit for the payment
of an insurance certificate has been
entered here by the insurance branch
of the A. o. U. w, 1t is in the case
of Elizabeth Bergen, who sues for
81, 0O0, dae from the death of her hus-
band, NJ. j. Bergen The defense gives
numerous objections to payment, more
particularly this: That Bergen re-
ceived his death injuries while making
felonious assault upon certain per-
son. not named, and that it would be
against public policy to allow recovery
under such circumstances. The cor
oner's verdict upon Bergen's death
shows that it was caused by fall.
During the inquest there was no evil
dence that fight had been INDUCED in.

VACATIONS AT SEA.
In Spite of Few Drawbacks They Are
Beneficial to Landsmen.

In Spite of a Few Drawbacks They Are
Beneficial to Landsmen.
A variety of circumstances combine
to invest the holiday spent at sea under
ordinarily favorable conditions with
composite charm which is something
peculiar in itself and which must be
felt in order to be rightly appreciated.
The panoramic survey of surrounding
nature, the unsurpassed purity of the
atmosphere, the society of agreeable
companions, the regularity of daily
life and, finally, the fact that physical
rest is compelled, while access to BUSH
ness is forbidden by the existing con-
ditions, unite in forming total of
leisured recreation which requires no
filter prelude than hard work for its
enjoyment.
For all the reasons above given a
week or two so spent should furnish
the busy practitioner with an admir-
ably suitable method of relaxation.
Interruption and irregularity are at all
times characteristic of his calling.
Neither in regard to sleep, meals or
home life does he enjoy the privilege
of certainty which is common to most
other men. Add to this fact that every
day he lives brings him into contact
with much that is anxious and respon-
sible in work, and we need be at no
loss to explain why the freedom
blended with order which are
found on shipboard constitute for
him restorative influence of
much value. We admit that there are
drawbacks to travel by sea. Its famil-
lar physical disturbances need only be
mentioned; its occasional monotony
cannot be denied. Its constant subjec-
ton to the action of climate, season
and weather must now and then prove
depressing.
Yet withal the amateur sailor, if in
fair health, finds in it ample means of
recreation. He may not perhaps, be so
fortunate as 4 member of the profess
sion-Dr. Fyfe-who lately closed a
series of published letters descriptive
of yachting cruise around the world,
extending nearly over two years, and
unmarked by any case of illness or Sc
rious injury. For all purposes of the
ordinary holiday, however, a much
briefer voyage VIII suffice, and the
season is now near at hand when from
every considerable port on our shores
it will be possible, by means of a we'll
appointed passenger steamer service,
to visit other shores or to circumnavi-
gate our own
The accommodation provided even
on the shorter routes is often excel
lent though better adapted, perhaps,
for travellers of the sterner than of the
fairer sex. We feel certain, therefore,
that pleasant trip of the kind indi-
Gated will commend itself as the
season advances to any of our medical
brethren who may choose in this way
to combine the enjoyment of we'll
earned rest with the interest of novelty
amid the purest and freshest atmo-
