Used With Success by Mexican Physl.
cians-Dr. GIOver's Review.
CITY OF MEXICO, July 9.-Efforts on
the part of the physician in charge of the
insane hospital for women to discover some
safe narcotic which should produce sleep
have resulted in bringing into daily use in
that institution a remedy prepared from
the seed of white Zapote 1t produces
tranquil sleep and since it has been used
no deaths from cerebral congestion have
been known at the institution.
DIR. Glover. representing the business
house of Rleichreeder. in an interview here,
takes a very favorable view of the future
OF Mexican finance and credit. He has pre-
pared a voluminous work on the subject.
His house has been active in the past for
the loan of gold placed in Europe.
Some questions have arisen in regard to
the organization of the new bank of the
state of Mexico. for which a part Of the
special loan was subscribed for here. and
for which the other part was solicited in
London. 1t is charged that in important
particulars of the prospectus, issued in
London. there is some discrepancy from the
one used here. 1t was said today, how
ever that some arrangement would be eff
fected whereby the bank would be organ
lied and everything made right.

CRAZED IN A CHURCH
Edward Turner, a Oolored Man, Wrecks the
Chandeliers in St. Dominic's.
He IL Evidently Insane ana is SPEND
Prayer-An Exciting Episode.

There was great excitement IN the
vicinity of st. Dominic's Church this morn
ing about 10 80 o'clock, when a number of
persons came running out of the edifice
and declared that a colored man was
wrecking and destroying everything in the
interior. Officers Baker and Cornwall of
the fourth precinct were fortunately close
at hand and rushing into the church they
found tall, sinewy colored man breaking
the chandeliers with the wood and metal
taper holder used to light the gas. The
globes and crystals were being broken in
hundreds Of pieces and scattered all over
the church, while the man was shouting,
Father! Father!' at the top Of his voice.
The officers quickly seized him and hurried
him off 10 the fourth precinct station,
despite his resistance. Here the man pre-
tended to be dumb, and would give no ac-
count of himself. His head was bound up
in handkerchief and he looked wildly at
his capJors and interrogators When
catechism and two pocket knives were
found in his possession. 1t developed that
his name was Edward Turner, about
twenty-one or twenty-five years OF age, son
of a colored woman employed as a do
mestic by Mr.. Petit, who resides at Ill r
street southwest. Mrs. Turner reported to
the police a couple of days ago that her
son had left his home and had not returned
ard that he had been showing signs that
he was losing his mind. Last night Tur-
her visited the parsonage of st. Dominic
Church and created a disturbance, but got
away before he could be apprehended.
When Star reporter saw Turner in g
cell at the fourth precinct station at
O'Clock today he was OH his knees with his
head buried in his hands the bench
evidently in deep prayer. He took no no
tee of any words or questions addressed
to him, and it was said that he was very
deaf but not dumb Turner is evidently
crazy. The damage he did in the church
will amount to probably 500.

Selecting the Rails.

President A. E. Randle of the Capital
Railway Company this afternoon had an
interview with Commissioner Black rela-
tive to the kind of rail to be laid on the
navy yard bridge for the purposes of rapid
transit.
Mr.. Randle submitted photographs of a
number of various patterned rails, but none
of them met the views Of Capt. Black and
the latter suggested that the railway COM
pany adopt a grooved rail similar to that
which is used by the street railway COM
panies of Washington.
Mr.. Randle said he did not think such a
rail as that mentioned by Mr. Black was
practicable on the bridge, in view of the
fact that the rail is nine inches wide, and
the plarks In the floor will be only three
inches thick. but Engineer Brown of the
company said he would see if he could
work out a plan by which the rail sug-
gested by Capt. Black could be made avail
able.
