A FAMILY INSANE.
Photographer, Wife and Two Daugh-
ters Queerly Affected

Charleston, w. Va, Feb. S-A remark
able case has developed in this city,
where the family of S. H. Ellinwood,
himself, wife and two daughters are
declared insane. Ellinwood is a we'll
known citizen, who owns a home and
other property here. For days the
neighbors have noticed strange happen
ingS about the El1inwood house. Yes
terday the climax was reached when
he, his wife and two daughters were ex-
am1ned in the county jail by DIS +. s.
Thomas and J. L. Davis The examina-
ton showed the entire family to be
afflicted with lunacy of peculiar form.

eide upon some other course the four

contracted oy the father by the use of
drugs, and he. it is alleged, communi
Gated it gradually to the other members,
who were further subdued through the
use of drugs administered by him The
condition of all of them is now de-
plorable.
They have been living in filth and
niggardliness, and shutting themselves
off from the world entirely. They SEEM
ed to have been laboring under the
hallucination that some one was trying
to harm them. They placed all kinds
OF ridiculous safeguards about them
selves and actually went so far as to
build an underground tunnel between
two of their houses so as to conceal
their movements between them. The
strangest phase of the case is the fact
that they all appear to have the very
same thought at the same instant. The
family of husband, wife and two daugh-
tiers, both matured, are possessed of
more than average intelligence, and all
of them are cultured. EllinWood is a
photographer. Scores of people today
visited the home of the family to in
spect the underground tunnel.

NO COFFINS LEFT.
Spotted Fever Epidemic Has
Exhausted the Supply.

Lexington, KY, Feb. ga letter to
the Daily Leader from Morgantown, the
county seat of Butler county, in the
western part of Kentucky, fifteen miles
from any railroad, says an epidemic of
spotted fever, or spinal meningitis, is
raging there. old and young dying rap
idly.
1t is impossible to estimate how many
have died and there is no one able to
report the true conditions. It is known
that there are no longer any collins in
the place to bury the dead. The people
are panic stricken and fleeing in all
directions. 1t is reported that there
are now only a few left to nurse those
who are helpless.
The female seminary as well as the
public school is closed and the pupils
all hurried away to their respective
homes. The physicians have been doing
heroic work, but seem powerless to
check the disease. Attorney General
Taylor, whose home is at Morgantown
and Circuit Judge Settles went there
from Frankfort on a boat Sunday last
to open court on Monday but they found
the country in such panic that they
did not leave the boat and the judge
sent word that the term of court had
been indefinitely postponed.
Many people escaped from the place
on this boat which stopped only a few
Morgantown is a place of LOO inhab-
itants, situated on a hill and has been
considered very healthy. Several large
SawmillS are located there and the the
Dry advanced is that the decaying saw
dust started the epidemic.

AFRAID ORE THIEVES.
Managers of the Isabella Mine Trying
to Checkmate Gang.

Cripple Creek, Col, Feb. S.-The strike
in the Isabella mine has developed a new
phase The managers are put to their
wits end to circumvent the herd of ore
thieves who are besieging the mine in the
hope of picking up some of the stuff that
runs so high in gold that the loss of a few
specimens would materially effect the re-
turns from the shipments.
The managers do not know yet how they
are going to extract the precious metal so
that it will not be lost en- route to the
smelters, and are negotiating with express
companies to take the stuff in sealed cars
and assume the entire responsibility of
making returns the basis of Sampling,
which will be done at the proper time.
This camp some time ago was the
headquarters of desperate band OF ore
robbers, who, in conjunction with miners,
made enormous inroads into values by
their operations. Several of these rob-
bers were tried and convicted. but the
leaders are still at large. Their process
is to mix small quantities Of the high
that il cannot be identified as coming
from any special mine, and then sell it to
neighboring samplers. who are in league
with them.
Yesterday the Isabella got returns for a
shipment of ore that was not assorted,
and the check was $26, 900 for a single ton.
A meeting of directors will be held Fri
day to determine whether or not a diVi-
dend shall be declared and to decide on
the future operations of the company.

ENGLISH JUDGE REBUKED.
s'Twas a Very Improper Sentence"
Said the Convict Explaining His
Release.

London, Feb. S.-The British judges of
the high court have given some amazing
sizes. Judge Ridley, after the passage
of a law enabling the accused to testify
before he began his testimony, saying:
Look here, know what you are going to
He continued to hector the poor man in
later speeches, and ended by sentencing
him to five years.
1t was the prisoners turn last week,
when Judge. Ridley. trying case from
the man, had read a list of previous con-
victions. He was astonished to find that
he had sentenced the same man last for
five years. He said it must be mistake
that the ex-convict was at large SO soon.
The prisoner answered:
Il was released by your brother. Twas
a VERY improper sentence
Judge Ridley is a brother of the home
secretary. The latter had cancelled the
judges sentence.

WALDORF WALTERS OUT.
Forty-six of Them Let Go to Head OF
Contemplated Strike.

New York Feb. s-Forty-six walters
and omnibuses who up to Friday evening
WaIdorf-Astoria are now out of a job.
The omnibuses are the fieet-footed young
men who hustle around with the plates
and bring bread and ice water to the guests
while the walters attending to the
more serious business. The forty-Six
walters and omnibuses had begun to make
preparations to strike against a reduction
of wages, but Head Waiter Oscar headed
them off by discharging them and INSTALL
ing forty3six new, men in their places.
The trouble started with the posting of the
following notice on the bulletin board of
the pantry by order of Manager Boldt:
Wages of walters in the gardens to
be hereafter $50 a month; of omnibuses, $40
a month";
This was a cut of S. a month, but wait
ers in hostelries like the Waldorf-Astoria
regard wages only as a side issue, their
principal income being derived from tips.
Some of them, however, regarded the re-
duction as an infring ement of their rights.

RED TAPE GONE TO SEED.
A Provision of the State Constitution
That Is Now Merely Foolishness.

The house remained in session today
throughout the noon hour, although not
half a dozen members were in the hall.
The reason for this was to enable the
house to railroad through batch of 40
local bills which had gone through the
committee of the whole, and to which
no one had any objections. They were
all bills of a purely local nature.
AS soon as the business of the morn
ing session was over with, soon after IL
o'clock, Chief Clerk Lobden masSed all
the clerks he had who could read WELL
into the speakers stand and turned
them loose upon the pile of bills. There
were nine of the clerks and each one
read different bill at one and the same
time in as loud a tone of voice as he
could command. 1t sounded as though
bedlam had broken loose.
The state constitution requires that
every bill must be read before it is
passed, and as it would take a half day
for the reading clerk to read each bill
one at a time, this method is adopted
by the house to expedite business. The
batch will be taken up and passed with
one roll call, so that the entire list of
As bills will be passed without consum-
ing any more time than one bill would
take.

MAY GET THE TITLE.
Not So Certain That the Organ Grinder
Win Get Earl of Poulett's Estates.

London, Feb. S.-Evidence revealed
since the earTs death has been over
whelmingIy in favor of the organ grind
err succeeding to the Poulett title. The
fathers repeated assertion that he had
separated from his wife Immediately af-
ter the first sons birth proves to be
false. The official records show that
son, Frederick Poulett, was born in
1852 and lived some hours, and that a
son, Charles Poulett, was born in 1854
and lived three years. 1t is true that a
mother can register any name as the
father. but unless Poulett himself was
the father it is certain that he would
have divorced his wife. All this
strengthens the presumption that he
was the father of the organ grinder
despite his own amazing statement that
she was VIGOROUSLY intimate with a
Dublin gentleman when he married her.
Meanwhile the organ grinder has sold
his street organ for $50 to Tussaud's
wax works. They are making a wax
model of him. 1t is uncertain whether
he will succeed to the estates, as it is
said that they were resettled upon an
other branch Of the family. Such a re-
settlement has not been discovered, and
unless it is publicly registered 1t is not
legal.

hardly filled the first goblet with wine

deathly pale and tremblingly placed the
vessel back on the table. He found that
it was filled with numerous fine needles.

GOMEZ IN THE LEAD.
Indications That he Will Have His
Way About the Money.

New York, Feb. IA dispatch to the
Tribune from Havana says:
Gomez will come to Washington this
week. He has telegraphed to Senator
Proctor to await him here. The latter
trip through the provinces will be short
ened, but it will be extensive enough
to test the feelings of the people. AS
between Gomez and insurgent COM
manders who are opposing his willing
ness to accept So. oOO, 900 from the United
States and disband the troops, the in
dications are already plentiful that
Gomez retains his influence and that
his popularity will compel the assembly
when it meets next week to acQuiesce
in whatever policy he advocates.
The radical leaders can do nothing with
out popular support and Cuban popular
sentiment leans strongly toward encour-
aging peaceful industry. The newspapers
which started in to oppose Gomez now
counsel calmness and advise that every
thing be left to the assembly.
The Spanish colony in Havana is dis
cussing the proposition to give to Gomez
a reception, was done by the Spaniards
in Caibarien. The irreconcilables oppose
this, but the majority favor it,

MatanzaS province, where he has been
making speeches favoring the acceptance
of the So 600. 600 settlement and eulogiZing
President Mckinley. He is forestalling
the dissatisfied inSurgent leaders and will
visit Pinar del Rio to continue his work.

Brussels, Feb. S.-A type1ess news
paper has just been produced here.
The compositors of the wide-soId pa

accompanying sixteen pages of illustra-

the single typewriter sheets and the

photography to the actual size. A print
was made from the negative on sensi-
tized sheet of zinc. With the aid of
nitric acid type and Illustrations were
etched in, and the result was a COM
