REAL ORATORY.

Washington, Nov. THE climax OF
the Schley court Of inquiry came We'd
nesday afternoon when Mr.. Rayner, the
chief counsel for Admiral Schley, con-
cluded brilliant argument with per-
Grafton so eloquent and imprisoned that
all within the sound of his voice were
profoundly touched This remarkable
trial, he said, sought to condemn the man
who had brought to successful termina
ton as great naval triumph as was ever
won. In vivid colors he painted the pic
ture of the Brooklyn, with Commodore
Schey on the bridge, fighting the entire
Spanish fleet until the Oregon appeared
out of the smoke. The thunders of the
Brooklyn, music for the ears of his coun-
trymen, he said, aroused Admiral Schley's
envious foes. He pictured the victorious
sailor suffering as few have suffered for
three long years while the fires of perse-
cution leaped around him and now await
ing the hour of his vindication, in the
verdict of the court.
Mr.. Rayner closed his argument as
follows:
81 have now briefly presented this case
as 1t appears to me in its general outline.
Such trial as this has never to my
knowledge taken place in the history of
the world. 1t seemed to my mind that
this case had hardly opened with the tes-
timony of Captain Higgnson before it
commenced to totter, and from day to
day its visionary fabric dissolved from
view. When Captain Cook, their last
witness, was put upon the stand, the en-
tire structure collapsed, and now, when
the witnesses from our own ships and the
gallant captain and crew of the Oregon
and Admiral Schley have narrated their
unvarnished tale the whole tenement with
all ofits compartments from its founda
ton to its turret has disintegrated and
lies here like mass of smoulderiug ruins
at has taken three years to reveal the
truth. There is not single word that
has fallen from the tongue of single
witness, friend or foe, that casts the
shadow of reflection on the honored
name of the hero of Santiago. He has
never claimed the glory of that day. No
word to this effect has ever gone forth
from him to the American people The
valiant Cook, the heroic Clarke, the la
mented Philip, the intrepid and I'M
daunted Wainwright and all the other
captains and every man at every gun and
every soul on board of every ship are
equal participants with Admiral Schley
in the honor wrought upon that immortal
day

entertaining them. In this he did not
appear to be very successful, as the
arrival of guests every few moments
somewhat disarranged his plan of ac-
ton. At last it dawned upon the
mind of Mr.. Roberts that his forces
alone and unaided were inadequate for
the OCCASION and he finally enquired in
a resigned sort of manner if many
more could be seen on the road lead
ing to his domicile Finally he was
initiated into the secrets that had so
carefully been kept, and thereupon,
with the assistance of Mrs. Roberts,
played the part of host to perfection.

converse, five tables were arranged

evening. The occasion was in honor

quiet and peace of his fireside and
started upon pilgrimage to dis

pass the evening at the home of a
friend. When part way ON his jour

A RAVING LUNATIC.

DR.. E. F. Norcross of Island Pond
arrived in the city today with raw
ing lunatic, named George Brown,
who was captured in the woods near
Wheelock last Sunday. The man was
manacled and bound to cot He
was taken this noon to the Central
Vermont station to await the 81 30 p
m. train for Waterbury.
With his haggard face, covered with
heavy beard and his head with long
unkempt hair, the man presented a
wild appearance.
DR.. Norcross said but little was
known about Brown except that he
was a professional gum gatherer.
Just before his capture he made con
signment of 1900 pounds of gum and
when captured had $3.50 in money on
his person.
Recently he became violently insane.
Several men were required to restrain
him, and he was taken to the Jail at
Island Pond
Brown is immensely strong. His
wrists are so large that it required
specially large sized hand-cu .
When exercising in the corridor of the
Jail he broke away from his attend
ants, kicked a lighted lamp to the
ceiling, which broke and the oil ig-
nited. Brown then became quiet and
was taken to his cell
He has refused to take any food
since his capture. At the station
here he remained quiet except when
bystanders crowded about his cot,
when he would struggle with his
bonds as if to get at the intruders. 1t
is believed his malady was induced
by overwork and exposure.
