IN about 1880. Capt Early of the Tenth
Precinct Police Station sent ap officer in
civilians dress around to see Mccoy. and
lnVelgled him out Of the house quietly on
some trivial plea and over 70 the police
station, where he was engaged in CONVEX
satlon on his favorite hobby-physical
deVelopment-until q coach was brought
he was then informed that Sandow,
whose heanquarters were in Flatbush,
had heard of his wonderful strength and
wanted to see him. Mccoy took the bait
and got INTO the coach with Moran and an
officer.
On his way TO the asylum Mccoy enter
tanned his companions with stories of
hlmselt One was that once while al sea
MS ship became stranded upon the apex
OF an immense iceberg for seven days, and
that ne picked up the ship bodily and car
rled II down the sides of the berg and
launched IL in the water Another story
was that he learned from a physician that
decapltatiOn would quadruple his
strength, and that he had asked his wife
TO cut his head of. but she had refused.
he felt confident that Sandow would do
it for MIN.
he exhibited his biceps muscles, which,

cumterence, and made a proposition to
Moran to fight Corbett for $4,000.

Why Some Men Are Candidetes.
From the New York Evening Post.

ASH- l4S New I OIh EN6ulQ8 GOSt.
1t IS not uncommon in this part of the
country to elect man to once because
ne cannot get living in any other way,
but the reason is not apt TO be openly
asslgned-least of all, confessed by the
asplrant himself. Such franxness, how
ever, is not uncommon in southern states,
where the practice prevails of men an
nounclng themselves candidates for Office.
A local weekly contains a dozen such an
nouncements in tannin county, Georgia.
Inc approved form begins with the
words, AT the solicitations of nv
friends" or my many friends" pro
ceeus 10 state the position sought,
and closes with, Il earnestly ask the
SUPP ort Of ALTO which some add, If
elected, l pledge myself to serve the
people TO the best of my ability" or, ''if
elected, Will do all in my power for your
interest" But in two of these dozen
cases the practical reason for the Office
seekers EFFORTS is frankly stated in the
words, being needy of the ONCE of tax
receiver, 1 hereby announce myself" etc.
such statements sound odd in sections
where the custom of men announcing
themselves as candidates is unknown. but
II once IS really to be sought on the
ground OF the seekers necessity, it is best
TO nave the matter clearly understood all
around.

POSED AS A GLADIATOR
After Performing Number Of Quite
Wonderful Feats.
From the Brooklyn Eagle.

From the Brooklyn Eagle.
James Mccoy of 236 F'latbush avenue
was taken to the county asylum in Flat
bush by Dom Moran, the veteran officer
of the department of charities and cor
rections last night, to complete his course
of physical training under the instruction
OF Sandow, the strong man, who for OBJ
vlous purposes, Mccoy was led TO believe
had taken up his headquarters at the
county institution.
Mccoy is large man, weighing close
on to 200 pounds. He lived with his wife
on the top fiat at the above mentioned ad-
dress. He is Al years of age, a steam
ship engineer by occupation and very
muscular. He has always been proud of
his physical development, and a great
admlrer of Sandow. Consequently when
his mind began to fail some time ago his
vagaries took the shape of performing
great teats OF strength, He nearly scared
the wits out Of his wife few weeks ago
by plllng all the parlor furniture on the
piano, and compelling her TO take
seat on the top of the pile, while he
dropped on to his hands and knees,
crawled under the piano and attempted
TO balance the whole business on his
chest. When he had, as hei believed, ac-
comphsEed the feat, his wife was unwise
enough TO tell him he had not budged the
piano. He occasionally entertained her
with mild propositions to break her in
half over his knee He also threatened
TO pull down the elevated road structure
on Flatbush avenue, and various other
dire calamities, he predicted, were
bound TO follow in the wake of any eXer-
ton of his prodigious strength.
Mccoy became so infatuated with his
own shape that he went TO Sarony's, in
New York, a few days ago and posed as a
gladiator. Mrs. Mccoy thought matters
had gone about far enough, and she called
In Drs. Maine and Barber. who pro-
nounced Mccoy insane The commitment
was approved by Judge Osborne of the
city court. The next thing TO be done
was 10 get Mccoy to the asylum, which
was a job neither of the doctors cared 10
tackle, as Mccoy is really a very power
tul man. Mrs. Mccoy called on Tom
Moran of the charities department to
take charge Of the case because Of his
long experience in handling the
insane. Moran waited around the
McCoy's home all day yesterday for
the man TO return to the house. He came
