The Examining Commission Decides She
Is a Paranoiac.
LANSING, Mich, March 26.-The COM
mission appointed to examine into the
mental condition Of Miss Henrietta Spar
row, sister of Edward Sparrow, the mill
ionaire lumberman and mine owner of
this city, Wednesday certified she was n
paranoiac and should be restrained. Act
ing on this certification Probate Judge
Cowles ordered Miss Sparrow committed
to the Michigan asylum. Notice of APP
peal was filed, and the case, which has
been most stubborniy contested for the
last two months, will run the gauntlet of
higher courts.
The hearing was the most sensational
ever held in Michigan. Miss Sparrow
charged her brother with whipping her
numerically, and also asserted that he
and other members of the family perse-
cuted her constantly. The commission
fnds that these charges are without
foundation in fact, being pnre delusions
and asserts that the treatment accorded
her by her brothers and sisters has been
extraordinarily kind.

THE inquiry instituted at Victoria
with a view to fixing the responsibility
for the collapse of the Point Eliice
bridge, by which fifty-five people were
suddenly hurled into eternity, puts the
civic administration of the city in an
extremely bad light. 1t has been
proven beyond question that the bridge
had long been known to be unsafe and
that the authorities had been repeated
ly appealed to to have it strengthened
or forbid traffic over it. The superin-
tendent of public works, who had Off
cially condemned it, was driving in a
carriage with his five children on the
bridge when it collapsed and one of the
children was killed by falling timbers.
Ignoring entirely the repeated warm
ings of the dangerous condition of the
bridge the civic authorities did every
thing they could to attract great
crowd of people there to witness the
queens birthday celebration. The city
will doubtless by compelled to pay
damages" amounting to sum many
times as great as the total cost of the
broken bridge, but nothing that it can
do can restore the thread of any one of
the five and fifty lives so cruelty broken
through the gross criminal negligence
of the municipal council.
