"A N ! N S A NE N A N
He Was Walking Around Without Any
Clothes On.
Identified ms an Inmate Of Hampton
Soldiers Home and VIII BE
Sent to the Asylum.

Policeman Shannon, who does duty in
South Washington, had a singular ex-
perience this morning in arresting an in
sane man. The man did not have on q
stitch of clothing. but carried his wearing
apparel under his arm. 1t was about 5
o'clock when the officer learned that the
man was on the railroad property near
~ and E streets, and when he went there
he saw the naked man seated on q pile of
bricks. He was not troubling anybody.
nor did anything seem to be occupying his
mind. Much to the officers surprise, the
insane man put on what few clothes he
had and went to the station without giving
the slightest trouble, but, after being put
away for safe keeping, he made two at
tempts to end his life. This he did by using
his suspenders, but the officers guarded
him carefully, and at last accounts he was
still in the land of the living. When the
officer reached the station with his pris-
oner the latter was inclined to be talka-
tive, although at times his articulation was
extremely bad; His name. he said, was
John Hart, and later he changed the John
to Pat. Sixty years was the age he gave,
and he said he was a soldier and had
fought for Uncle Sam. His blue blouse and
trousers indicated that he was an old SOL
dier, as he claimed he was, and they also
imagined he had escaped from some in
stitution.
See here, Hart" said one of the officers,
tell us something about yourself.
Well" said the old man, I'm an
original Mckinley man. and 1 came from
st. Louis. 1 wrote to President Mckinley
from st. Louis, and he wrote to me to
come on and get a job. I'm here. but he
hasn't seen me yet"
Afterward ne said he was from Hamp-
ton, and later on he said he had worked in
this city last winter, SO that 1t is impos
sible for the officers to tell just where he
does belong. Having heard what the
stranger had to say. the police put him in
a cell for safe keeping. and this he did not
seem to enjoy, for although his mind is not
clear, he understood what 1t was to be put
in a prison cell and deprived of his liberty.
He had been in there only short time
before the station keeper discovered that
he had made an effort to commit suicide.
His suspenders had been tied about his
neck and fastened to the iron grating, and
he was preparing to make the short drop
when he was discovered. Again he made
the attempt, and then the officers removed
from his cell everything that would in any
way assist him in his efforts to kill him
self. Sanitary Officer Frank. who has
charge of all cranks who are dealt with by
the police, was told of the arrest and the
mans strange conduct, and he is making
an investigation Hart, as he calls himself,
weighs about two hundred pounds and has
heavy gray whiskers
The prisoner was identified later in the
day as Patrick Hart. an inmate of the Sol
diers' Home at Hampton, Va. DR.. Hick-
ling, who examined him, pronounced him
insane and he will be sent to the asylum.

A GLUr OF HERRING.
Conditions of the Fish Market Alon
the River Front.

COnO1t1OnG OF the Fish Market AlOnR
the River Front.
Business in the fish line is not very brisk
at the wharf now. Herring are more plen-
tiful than ever. and the supply is so much
greater than the demand that thousands of
them are condemned and hauled back down
the river. They are selling at about 81 to
H.5O thousand. There are not SO many
Of them packed away by the dealers as
there were few years ago, nor are private
parties doing so much in this line Shad
continue to be scarce and are high, selling
at $3.50 a hundred yesterday Last week
there arrived at the river front only 1S, ,60S
shad, while 1.268.000 herring were, brought
In. Besides these there were 12S earn. II
bass. 8 sturgeon, 10 531 punches Of fish. iO0.-
600 CLAIMS. II. 800 crabs and S,5O0 bushels of
oysters. Bunch fish from the Potomac
river are scarce. and SO are crabs, although
during this month the supply Of crabs viii
probably increase and the supply Of soft
crabs will also be larger. The oyster sea-
son Is about played out. although there
were several boats Of bivalves at the wharf
this morning. The push cart lunch sellers
are handling both oysters and clans now
and these men prove good customers to the
boatmen. Clans, however, are taking the
place Of oysters, and the sales are increas-
ing daily. Tailors and trout caught In the
Chesapeake are also ON the market now,
and are inexpensive.

sINGLE-HANDED TRAIN RoBBING.
Theory of q Noted Criminal Who Did
1t Once Too Often.


1t Once Too Often.
From the Sacramento, Gal, Bee.
James True, the train robber. is in Jail
here. He is accused of holding up a train
singlehanded. True is a fine-looking man,
about thirty five wears of age. and while he
has cool. notwithstanding air about
him, he is not a person who would be
picked out as one of the most daring train
robbers Of modern times. The charge
against him was made by the United States
authorities for the reason, as alleged, that
he robbed a mail car. The offense was COM
mitted last winter at Uintah, Utah. News
paper readers will remember about the
holding up of a train at that place. the rob-
hery Of the mail and express cars and the
terrorizing of the passengers. At first 1t
was declared that a large band of masked
men had attacked the train, and that hum
dreds Of shots were fired to create the i'm
preston that there was small army of
robbers.
After it was all over however, It was as
certajped that the deed was the work of
one man. He. had gone staggering through
the train and alongside of 1t crying out
orders to his 9''men," accompanying each
order with a vicious oath and a pistol shot.
The trainmen and the passengers concluded
that a band of robbers had surrounded
track ready to send volley Of rife bullets
into the train at the command cf the lead
or. The robber is said to have secured a
lot Of rich booty from the mail car but he
was unable to get into the safe Of the .ex-
press car. and contented himself with small
articles.
A hot search was Immediately made for
the robbef through the mountains about
Uintah. but without success. Sheriffs, con-
stables and detectives finally abandoned
the search. but Uncle Sans men never
grew wearys and 1t Is claimed that a strong
caee has been made against True. It is
claimed that the prisoner was formerly a
railroad. man. and that he was at one time
the leader of an organised band of robbers
in Colorado. He says that he has wife
and children residing In Utah.
