ESCAPED FROM AN ASYLUM.

John Arms roDg Cbsnler, former hus.

sentative william Astor Chanler, and
great-grandson of the original John
Jacob Astor, who has been con6Oed 10
B oomingdsle Asylum at White Plains.
n. Y, bias escaped, and is supposed TO
be wandering about the cou0try in
Westchester county.
Mr.. Chsnler has been corfioed 10
Bloomingdale Asylum for two years.
As he was tractable aud subservient to
the rules of the institution, he bas been
allowed certain liberty, of which twD
days ago he took advantage by walking
out of the gates. Since that time be
has not been seen. AS sJoD as bis es-
cape was discovered attendants at the
institution started to search for him,
! but he had left no trace Mr.. ChaDler
had the free run OF the grounds, and
could come and go at will, as he was
looked on as harmless patient.
Mr.. Chanler is q millionaire, and had
a private room in the institution. DIR.
Lyon, the superintendent OF the institu-
tion, said yesterday that careful search
was being made for the missing man,
; and that be bad no doubt but that be
would be found within tweniy-four
hours. 1t was learned that he walked
out of the asylum gate at the eastern
| end OF the grounds, aud was last seen
walking toward Msmoroneck.

ngdaIs Insane Asylum in February,
| 1897. was well known in this country
and Europe as the first husband OF the

come by anxiety, barrassed by busi-
ness aOpoysnces, TO which be was uo-
accustomed, and disappointed becsu g
of his wife's second marriage, Mr..
| Chanler's health broke down. His
mind became so enieebled that his
| friends decided 10 place him 10 the
| ssylum, where he could have absolute
quiet. For more than a year previous
/ O the time he entered the asylum Mr.
| C0anler had been eccentric. His chief
delusion seemed to be that be was sort
| of DR.. Jekyll aud Mr.. Hyde.
Mr.. Chanler has had somewhat
eventful life as sporIsmsO, and was
known ss an art patron and club MN
har. He ia a son of the late John
Winthrop Chanler who died at "ROke-
by," his country home, near Rhine
beck, N. Y in 1877. His mother was
Miss Ward, q granddaughter of Will
liam B. Astor.
Always greatly interested in art,
Mr.. Co nler was instrumental In found
ius "Psris prize fund" in New York
and Boston, by which the winner OF
the prize was sent to the French cspi
al to study art with an income OF 5000
year.
He is by profession a lawyer. and wss
a member of the law firm of Cnenler,
Maxwell & Philips, Of New YORK. he
! and Ameli Rives were married on

three years later.

Seward would not settle what he re-

agreeable that young Seward determln-

Seward gladly accepted. Proud CT his

wrote to the trustees. telling them that
his son had absconded from college
without cause, bringing disgrace and
sorrow upon his too indulsent parents,
and that all who harbored him would
be prosecuted to the full extent OF the
law. This frightened no one, and it
did not cause the very independent
