MANAGER INSANE.

A Eastern Had Too Much Worry.

William H. Sheldon. Of Poughkeepsie. Ny,
superintendent Of the POughkeepsie Il East
ern railroad, became suddenly insane while
playing cards at the home Of friend with
Cashier sherman OF the Farmers and Manu-
tacturers' bank and several friends. He has
been acting strangely for some time. When
the attack came on him he became violently
excited and was taken home. AL the
night he prayed and shouted, and once
got the deIusion that he must either kill Rus
sell Sage or Sage would kill him. Mr.. Sage
is the owner Of the P2ughkeepsie L Eastern
railroad. and Mr. Sheldon has managed that
property for him for several years.
Mr.. Sheldon's mental affection is attributed
10 overwork. The railroad is paralleled by
the Poughkeepsie Bridge road, and the latter
has lately been cutting into his business. The
former did not pay expenses and recently
the wages Of all employees were cut down
from 10 to Is per cent. This worried Mr..
Sheldon. and the strai4 Of management OF
several other enterprises broke down his
health.
