Mysterious Manner.

Negro Inmate OF Asylum Killed In .
Mysterious Manner.
Kankakee. Ills, Dec. A mystic
Kankakee insane hospital early in the
morning, presumably by a patient. A
negro patient, William Wiley. % years
old, was found dead In his bed In the
dormitory of a ward occupied by the
more rational lunatics. The night
Waterman had visited the apartment
a half-hour before and found nothing
wrong, the fifteen occupants all being
apparently asleep.
When Wiley's death was discovered
there was a knife wound over his
heart, but no weapon was discovered
until some hours later. The deed had
evidently been performed deliberately.
A kitchen knife was discovered In a
disused pipe hole adjoining the dormi.
tory. 1t was wrapped In q quantity
of paper belonging to a patient named
Manley, also an occupant Of the dormi-
tory.
Manley was put through rigid ex-
animation, but did not betray guilt.
He has the reputation Of being treach-
erous and has always been closely
watched. How he obtained the knife,
IL he is guilty, is mystery. Wiley
was sent from Paris, ILL.,. nine months
ago. He was inoffensive.

THE GRANT DELAYED.
The Troop Ship Bound for Manila
May Not Leave Until To-day.

NEW, YORK, Jan. 1S.-It Is very
doubtful IL the troop transport Grant
will get away on her long voyage to
Manila to-day. She sustained IN acct
dent TO her propeller as she was being
.towed to her anchorage Off Liberty
Island last evening, the extent of which
has not yet btsn ascertaIncd. There Is
besides an impression that It win be
necessary to put a new dynamo on
board the Grant before she sails.
The party OF government officials who
left Washlngton at midnight to be pres
ent at<the departure Of the Grant ar
rived at Jersey City early to-day. They
boarded the government steamer Cen
eral .Meigs at the Adams Express pied
and were taken down the bay to where
the Grant was lying off Liberty island.
The party included Adjutant General
Corbin. who represented Secretary Al
ger; QuartGrmaster General NIL Lud-
lrgton. Major George II. Hopkins. Brig
adler General Henry NJ. Dutiield, Sena-
tors Warren. Mitchell and Proctor. Rep
resentatives Griffin. Marsh, Fenton.
Belknap. Mcdonald. Lentz and Jet.
When the General Mclgs ran along
side Of the transport Grant the big YES
sci was Gaily decorated with bunting
and her decks were crowded with the
soldiers OF the Fourth and Seventeenth
infantry, who are embarked for Manila.
The visitors were received on board by
General LAYTON. The party was con-
Quoted through the vessel and the quar-
ters Of the soldiers were closely inspect
ed. as was also the hospital. There are
1,Sl2 beds fitted up, sixty OF which are
in the hospital. The non-commissioned
officers and men In the Fourth regi-
meat and the battalion of the Seven
teenth infantry number 1870. The off,
GERS, with their wives and families, will
number over $50, and counting the crew
there will be over 200 souls aboard the
vessel when she sails from this port.
The army and other officials left for
Washington at l o'clock this afternoon
over the Pennsylvania railroad.
