graphs of the Belgium Street Railway
Company, with headquarters at Brus-
sells, Belgium, was taken to Marshalsea

less maniac. Wijngaard registered at
the Richelieu Sunday morning, and at
that time showed no evidence Of being
demented. All cay Monday he spoke
little and associated with nc one. To-
wards night he acted strangely and
about midnight became more violent.
Wijngaard is 40 years old. From pa
pers on his person it was found that he
arrived in New York from Brussels
September 16, and also that he was
chief engineer OF the department of
railways. He had a pass that vas good
for transportation on first class cars on
all American railways, having been is
sued by the manager of the American

A check for $500 was also among the
