New York, Dec 26.-No one had to
go without Christmas dinner yester-
day. The greatest exemplification of
this was seen at the Madison Square
Garden, where the Salvation Army fed
thousands by the distribution of $500
baskets, with food enough for five per-
sons in each basket. The distribution
of food and dinners continued from II
a. m. until 10 p. m. Although pro-
vision was made for feeding 10000 per-
sons, at least half again that number
appeared, and the army officers met
the requirements. In all the public
institutions the inmates were gener-
ously provided with Christmas cheer
by the authorities.

At San Jacinto the main shock was
preceded by loud, roaring sound and

Washington. Dec. 26.-The case of
Nicholas Davis, of Troop B, Third cav
airy, having been reported to General
Merritt, commanding the department
of the east at New York, he has au-
thorized the commitment of the man
to the government hospital for the in
sane near this city. Davis is an en-
listed man from Kentucky, who be-
came insane over fancied wrongs in
flicted by members of his troop at Fort
Myer. Va, and who, inspired by drink,
obtained Krag-Jorgensen rifle and a
supply of ammunition, barricaded him
self In the troops quarters and began
firing through the open windows at
every person who came within range
of his weapon. Fortunately he failed
to hit anybody.
The comYapdapt e the fort after
exnaustrhg all possible efforts to cap
ture the crazy trooper without sacri-
ficing the lives of any of his men,
finally ordered him shot, and a SER
geant and squad were detailed for that
purpose Instead of ordering a volley
fired, however, the sergeant, who is
crack marksman, took a single shot
at the crazed soldier. Only Davis
head and the stock Of his rife could
be seen above the window sill. The
sergeant's bullet broke the ammuni-
ton chamber OF the Krag-Jorgensen,
driving the pieces of metal into Davis
face and head, stunning him, but not
killing him.
