The EPIDEMIC OF CRANKS
One Who Wanted to Kill
President Cleveland.
PURSUINGGOVERNOR MATTHEWS
Suspicious Characters Hang
About His Office.


INDIANAPOLIS, IND, Nov. 3.--Several
cranks suddenly became seized, yester-
day, with desire to right their fancied
wrongs. Adolph Olschwasky of this
city was captured as he was about to
start for Washington to murder Presi-
dent Cleveland.
Olschwasky has heretofore been harm
lessly cranky" but his mania assumed
q homicidal turn when he suddenly met
his brother and made rush to kill him
for the purpose of marrying his widow,
who, he believed, would bring him Won
derful luck. He claims to be cousin
of President Cleveland, and that his real
name is Cleveland. After his encounter
with his brother and before he could get
out of town on train, officers arrested
him. He had provided himself with a
large calibre revolver.
Governor Matthews came near being
made the victim of series Of cranks.
For several days suspicious characters
have been DIGGING his office in the State
House. Yesterday they were sent
scurrying from the building on report
that the militia was coming. The gov
ernor says he has no fear of bodily in
| jury, but his friends have prevailed or
him to take great precautions until the
crank epidemic subsidies.

The Necessity for Investigation and Or

The Necessity for Investigation and Or
ganization in the Work of Charity.
Philadelphia Press, Oct 92d.
The relief and charity widely distrib-
uted in this city during the last 80 day.
without organization, Investigation or
supervision has drawn to the city hosts
of tramps, dead-beats and professional
beggars We doubt if there has ever
been a time in five years when aims on
the street were more certain to go to the
unworthy than to-day. Any one who
has given money on the street without
investigating the case may feel reason
ably certain that the money was worse
than wasted, and this is true of but too
much of the hastily organized relief.
The Charity Organization Society in
vestigates all cases and mas thus far been
able to meet all applicants for relief. In
general throughout the city recognized
and established agencies can cope with
all the needs of the present, and have
so reported to the permanent relief COM
mittee.
In New York formal and public
announcement was made of this charac-
ter weeks ago and the charitable were
warned against the danger of wasting
or misspending money which may be
sorely needed later. A like announce
ment is demanded here. The perma-
nent relief committee has highly i'm
portant duty in this direction which il
cannot be too prompt in discharging.
Distress exists, though within the means
of existing societies if they are supported
but the volunteer agencies for relief
springing up will do sudden harm and
work great evil unless some rigid system
of inquiry is adopted. Soup-houses
bread distribution and the like pauper
ize a community and multiply dead
beats. Any relief given without investi
cation is certain to be sought, seized ant
absorbed by the unworthy in its large
share.
The first and the earliest effort of tn
permanent relief committee should be t
secure efficient investigation and organi
cation. Money will be plentiful, if il
} once clear that it is not to be wasted i
: indiscriminate alms-a worse evil tina
want. When the permanent relief CON
} mittee comes to speak to the public
] ought to make this perfectly clear.

i, evade an important responsibility II

Many ducks started straight away for
the broad Chesapeake and made over
head shooting for the marksmen on and
about Spesutis Island. Others flew
over the land to Bush, Gunpowder,
Middle and Back rivers, only to get
virtually "out of the frying pan into the
fire." rs the river shores were lined with
gunners who knew what effect the open
ing day would have. The ducks which
were not killed either turned back to
see if it was not all over on the flats or
went into the Chesapeake bay. Greed
for the luscious food heretofore SO easily
obtainable on the flats induced many to
return and they furnished sport for the
gunners. During the day there were
many "frcsh ducks"-that is, ducks
which have Just arrived from the north
observable and they made nice marks
by decoying unsuspiciously. The days
shooting was slightly better than 1t was
the opening day last year. There were
many thousands more ducks this year
than last year.

Saved Only by the IntsrPosition OF the
Local squire---The Victim Had At
tempted a Heinous Crime.
READING, Pa, Nov. "A frenzied
mob, embracing half the citizens oil the
village of Temple, five miles from here,
snatched prisoner from the squire TINS
evening, placed rope around his neck
and had already jerked him off his feet
to lynch him, when the squire rescued
the man and had him hurried to prison.
The victim is tramp, Wayne Whit
meyer of Ephrata, and he had at-
tempted to outrage 15-years-old Bertha
Hartman.
This evening, as the girl, who is the
daughter Of Henry S. Hartman, one of
the wealthiest farmers in that locality,
was driving the cows home from pasture
along the main road and when within
square of her home, she was seized by
tramp, who leaped from behind
thicket. He carried her behind hedge
fence, where he attempted to outrage
her. She gave loud scream for help.
An approaching carriage frightened
the fiend and he ran away. The girl
was taken home, where she told the
story to her father. Putting revolver
in his pocket, MIR. Hartman rushed 10
the stable, and, without waidng for
saddle or bride, leaped on the back of a
feet horse and started in pursuit of the
tramp. Galloping along the road the
angry father soon overlook the tramp,
who was subdued by the revolver.
Mr.. Hartman then started for the
office of Squire Israel Rothermel with
his prisoner, but before he reached II
the news of the assault had spread. All
work in the village was at once stopped
and nearly the entire population flocked
to the squire's office.
With them they brought ropes, and il
minute moose was placed around thu
tramp's neck, and he was dragged from
the office. One end of the rope haC
already been thrown over the limb of ,
tree, and the prisoner was jerked off hi
feet. Squire Rothermel begged tn,
crowd to release the man, but man!
clamored for lynching. At last peac
prevailed, and the prisoner was takel
back into the office, where he gave hi
name. Immediately afterward he wa
put in wagon and brought to this cit
and locked up.

Vice President Stevenson told the fol-
lowing story to group of Senators the
other night: There was an old darby in
southern Illinois who wanted TO join the
ministry. He had progressed through
many years of trial and tribulation, from
the position of chief hog stealer and
hen.roost robber of the community to
the mourner's bench, to membership, to
u deaconate. and finally to the dignifled
office of sexton and chief bell ringer OF
the white folks church in the same
town. He couldn't read, but his grand
daughter Lucindy could, and he made
her read to him every evening from the
Good Book. He was finally brought
before the board for examination, which
was conducted as follows:

"Yas, praise de Lawd."
