CRAZED BY APPARITIONs.

Two convicts in the New Jersey
State prison have become maDiacs in
the rast week uyer fancied visits from
ghosts. William Curtis, convict from
Mercer county, sentenced 10 four years
Tor larceny, complained to the keepers
several weeks ago that during the night
ne heard strange sounds In his Cell. Tie
Keepers paid no attention to it until
GeoIg- i lpacK, doing elk years term
for shooting man and who occupied q
cell near Curtis, said that he bad seen
the ghost of the man he killed. Even
tnen the officials we're Inclined 20 laugh
| a. the prisoners, but Curtis was found
W nights ago with bis clothes wrap
. d around his head, and he declared
that be couldn't sleep because of queer
noises that be heard. Two days later
he refused 10 eat in the wing where he
was coufned He was fed in another
part OF the prison, bat obliged TO sleep
in his cell. The strain on Cur ISIS nerves
was too much for him; he became a
raving maniac, and yesterday afternoon
ne WAS taken TO the State Hospital for
be Ii .ne.
Zupsck was more seriousl y affected
thau Curtis. He declared that besides
aeariug screams and grosns, he saw
sp. ctral figures stalking through the
Corridors past his cell door, and mary
i'm these ghostly shapes appeared in
MS cell. About two weeks ago as the
wa'ch was passing Zupack's cell he saw
the man cinging to the bars of the door
with bullying eyes and his hair standing
on eud. "pve seen it again" the man
cried, "It came to the side OF my bed
and shook its fist at me-"
At 4 lpack's earnest pleading he YVES
put in a cell with another man. But
he ghostly visions followed him ey,
there, and mis- cel-mate declared that he
heard queer noises that resembled
stealthy footsteps on the cell floor, and
one night a strange light that he
couldn't vi derstaud Illuminated his
cell. Zupack lost his appetite, was un-
able to sleep, lest flesh and in a few
days became hopelessly insane. Yes
to-day he was taken with Curtis to the
asylum.

ILLNESS OF J. V. COLEMAN. The Capitalists Relatives Are Sum-
 moned to His Bedside,

The friends of J. V. Coleman are very much alarmed over his illness. During the past two weeks he has been seriously i'll at his home, 2S37 Jackson street, in this city. Indeed, so critical a stage had the millionaires condition reached that his absent relatives were hastily sum- moned to his bedside, and are now hur- rying to San Francisco.
 They are: Mrs. Harry May of Washing ton. D. C., who is expected to arrive to- day or tomorrow; and her sister, the Countess Dauginey, whose home is in Paris, who likewise has been called to the bedside of MT. Coleman, and will probably arrive some time during the latter part of the week.
 pr. Buckley. his attending physician, has given it out that the patient is in a critical condition. For over six months past MT. Coleman has been far from being a well man. Some time ago he went to Europe for his health, but gained little benefit. His return to California was of comparatively recent date. While out camping he contracted a severe cold. that aggravated his long standing complaint and gave rise to various complications, which now threaten his life.

LAes OnlY on Display.

Throughout the parade 1t was notice able that the police force of the city did little toward preserving order and keep ing the eager throngs from interfering with the march. This was in no way the fault of the policemen, but of their leader, who seems to have thought more of the opportunity to make a display of himself and his men than to discharge the duties for which policemen are paid
 Again and again the officers in the vari- ous companies had to fight their way along. The police preceded the soldiers, and as soon as they had passed the crowds became mobs, the order that ex- isted while the police were in sight be- came anarchy and the confusion every where was inexcusable.
 It is time that the Chief of Police began to understand that he is not pald to make a display of himself on every oc- casion, but is hired to preserve order among other things on occasions of the character of the grand event of yester- day. To say that the force utterly failed is to put it mildly. It stands to reason that a band of men engaged in parading cannot keep back crowds of citizens who press onward eager a. etIere M4s-- the movements of the soldiers.

Thirty-five assistant weighers of the surveyors department of the United States customs service at 6 o'clock last evening went to the steamer City of Peking on board the revenue cutter Hartley, and presented Captain T. J. McCreagh of Company D with a beau- tiful sword. The captain, who was in the Government service as an assistant weigher, resigned his position in order that he might go with his company to the Philippines. He was very popular with his fellow-workers in the service
 and they took occasion, on the eve of his departure, to express their sense of his

A Grievous Disappointment.

To the Editor of the San Francisco Call-Sir: The Examiner stated yester- day morning that the troops would pass down Second street on their way to the Mail dock to take passage on the Peking for Manila. As a result, the merchants on Second street decorated their stores and many thousand people gathered on the street to see the soldiers pass; but another example of yellow Journalism was brought forcibly to their notice when they saw that the troops had passed down Third street. It was certainly great disappointment to these people, and especially so to the many women and children who lost this oportunity to show their patriotism by assisting in cheering on to the front our brave boys in blue.

With cheers and well wishes the weighers bade their comrade' god speed and expressed their hope that the time would be short until he would be with them again.
