sir on the "Wabash , St. Louis & Pacific-road arrived to-day an hour and a "half late in-
charge of a madman. Out of tho twelve or-
fifteen men , officers and citizens , w io finally-secured him , one officer Is dead , shot through-the body , another probably fatally wounded ,
several citizens injured , and the lunatic him-eelf
-
lies in the county hospital mortally-wounded with three bullets in him. Shortly-before noon the station policeman at the "W-abash

, St. Louis & Pacific depot on Polk street-
received the following message ;
CHENOA , HI. , May 31. I have an Insane-man on my train , who has possession of one-car. . The police at Kansas City , Jacksonville-and Pcoria were all afraid to take him. Send-ten policemen out on number one to take him-when we arrive In Chicago. They had better-come In citizens' clothes. They will have to-look sharp or somebody will get hurt.-

., Barrett and Keenan in uniform , arid-
Smith , Perry , Amstcln , O'Brien and Laughlin-In citizens' clothes , under command of Lieut.-Laugh
.
, made up the squad , which arrived at-the depot ten minutes before the train was-due. . The train being delayed , as was subse-quently
¬
learned , by Ineffectual efforts to cap-ture
¬
the lunatic , the police were forced to wait-for more than an hour. After considerable-aaxious speculation as to the condition of-things on number six , the officers were finally-anvthlng but reassured by a dispatch from a-
suburban station warning them that the mad-man
¬
was armed and would resist terribly.-A
.little later number six appeared In sight ,
and the police separating so as to form two-squads, awaited her arrival on either Bide of-the tracks. As tbe train approached tho-whistle sounded a number of warning notes in-quick succession. People hanging half way-out of the car windows were seen to gesticu-late
¬
wildly to the crowd. Before tho train had-come to a standstill a half dozen passengers-jumpe'd to the ground and fled , looking back-with blanched faces. Officer Barrett was tho-first to observe the lunatic. Barrett TV as stand-ing
¬
nepr tbe rear end of the smoking car. The-madman , with leveled revolver , glared at him-irom the front platform of tbe cha'r car, the-length of one car distant. Barrett turned half-round and stopped Instantly, but too late. A-
bah struck him in the stomach and in a few-minutes he was dead. One look at the ma-niac
¬
was enough to satify any one that while-his ammunition lasted he would not be taken-alive. . Seeing this the officers , after removingtheir wounded comrade , began a fusilade-through the windows of the smoking car-where the madman had taken refuge. After-a minute or two he plunged out onto the plat-form
¬
, fired couple of shots into the crowd ,leaped from the train and dashed down ..Fourth-avenue.. Officer Laughlin started In hot pur-suit
-and at him the lunatic fired the last shot-
In the weapon but without effect. Tho maniac-stopped there and awaited Laughlin's coming ,withgleaming eves and frothing mouth. They-cllnchod , the officer tripped his prisoner and-hey: both fell , the madman meann hilc beatingLaughlin unmercifully on the head with his-revolver.. The officer was In citizen's clothes-and was set upon and terribly pounded by an-excited colored man who mistook the officer-for the prisoner. The rest of the. squad ar-rived
¬
shortly. The maniac was secured and-aken first to a cell and then to the hospital to-inve his wounds dressed. When he realized-that further resistance was Jiseless the pris-ner
-grew calm and said quite rationally that-
its name was Louis Reaume ; that he was-.hlrtythree years old and he was en route to-lis home in Detroit from Denver-

What He Said on the Occasion-.Secretary
.of State Bayard arrived at St-
Louis from Washington en route to Columbia ,
Missouri , to deliver the annual address before-the students of the state university. The dis-
.ingulshed-
. visitor was met at the depot by-
Senator Vest and a committee of citizens ,
who escorted him In a carriage over tfcs bridge-
to the Southern Hotel, tthere he was received-
jy Mayor Francis and a committee of prom-
ncnt-
citizens with a brief address of welcome-
.After.
breakfast at the Southern Hotel he was-
escorted by the reception committee. Theydrove to the Merchants' Exchange where the-nembers met him. Ihe public were admitteds-o the main hall , which was packed to suffocaL-lon.
-. After an Informal reception In the-
reading room of the exchange , be was Intro-duced
¬
to the throng in the main hall , and-after the applause ceased he delivered a short-address , as follows :
"I would like all to feel the satisfaction It-iffords me to meet for the first time such a-
arge body of men who have done so much to-advance the interests of this great inland sea-of the country. lu my mind the Mississippi-valley occupies as important a position as the-itlantlc and Pacific coasts. 1 have always-tried to do as much for this country as for-another. . I appeal to every congressman ,every senator , every mannita whom I have-seen associated in public life , to prove that-nobody has done more to advance the interests-of this great valley. I have seconded the in-
.erests of your great Captain Eads to open not-inly Memphis and New Orleans but also St-ouis to the commerce of the world through-
his great river. This is not my desire alone.-As
.one of the advisers of President Cleveland ,
. think I am justified in saying that the ad-
ministration¬
will make every endeavor to allay-every effect of sectional feeling in every par-ticular.
¬
. The administration is for the whole-country , and not for only part of it. Go on-without fear ; embark In your enterprises ; ba-
at ease. Everything , you may be sure, will be-
flone to protect and advance the interests of-
every citizen of the United States. " At the-conclusion of this brief address , Mr. Bayard-was applauded heartily. Addresses were then-made by Senator Vest and others , after which-Secretary Bayard was shownover the floor-and introduced to many of the spectators.

Dastardly Attempt on tlie Ziof a RailwayO-
fficer. .A dastardly attempt upon the life ofSuper-
Ittendent-
Cummings , of the Te'xas Pacifld-railway , was discovered at Marshall , Texas.-As
.
Conductor Harvey was walking through-the yard , he says he saw two persons crouch-ing
¬
near the superintendent's car and over-
heard¬
one of them say , "Put It there whore it-
will blow him to helL" As Harvey approached-the men they arose and ran. Ho reportd tha-
matter atonce and tho yard-master proceeded-to search for the supposed explosives. They-were abont to gjve up the search when a-
switchman discovered three long vicious look-ing cartridges lying upon tho caps of the-springs situated beneath the favorite seat ot-Superintendent Cumminjrs when out on his-
trips. . A chemical examination of the car-tridges
¬
was made , and they proved to be gen-uine cartridges , one of which would have-blown the car into a thousand pieces. Uho-cartridges were placed where they would not-fall off, and where they would only explode-through tbe jolting of the car after it had at-tained
¬
considerable speed. "When the atttinpt-became known among several hundred work-ingmen
-
of the company, it caused great in-dignation , and the men openly declare they-will lynch the miscreants If found. No-
trouble whatever exists between the com-pany
-
and the employes and Supt. Cummin-has no personal enemies that are known.-The
.
affair Is surrounded with an air of mys-tery. . Cummings takes the matter coolly.and-offers three hundred dollars reward for the-apprehension of the guilty parties. Tbe su-
perintendent uses his car generally every-w eek, and was preparing for a journey at the-
time , which fact was probably known to the-wculdbe assassins.

If the scouts report Indians this side of Fort-Pitt , Middleton will land troops at once and-march by the shortest cut aeainst them. He-has instructed Strange to follow the Indians-pretty closely and be prepared to cooperate-with his column at the shortest notice. A plan-has been laid to sui round the Indian carnp-.This

can doubtless be effected with a large-body of troops , which will be in force. Mul-dleton

Tan Wyclt and Slorrlll and Others-Interviewed How the Republican Senate-Will Act on Nominations.-Washington
.special to the Omaha Bee :
Senator Van Wyck will leave In a few days to-
spend the summer at home. He has remained-here mainly for the purpose of endeavoring to-
ascertain the policy of the new administration-relative to land grants , the Indian country,
encroachment of cattle kings , and the illegal-fences. . Van Wyck is confident that the com-
missioner¬
of the land office is disposed to carry-
out in the full spirit the laws relating to these-
subjects, and he thinks that the administra-tion
¬
in Its own time will concur with Commis-
sioner¬
Sparks. There is such tremendous-pressure of office-seekers , however , that there-Is great delay , and so much time may be occu-pied
¬
in peddling the places that the interests-of the people In this direction may be neglect-ed.
¬
. Being asked whether the resolutions re-ported
¬
to nave been adopted by the republican-senators in caucus , as to their policy with-respect to confirmations were accurate or not.-Van
.Wyck said : "1 did not attend all the-
caucuses , but I think that if such-action had been taken in my absence-I should certainly have been informed of it-
afterwards. . Another reason for my disbelief-In the publication is that I think the republi-can
¬
senators would have more sense than to-write or formulate such an Idle resolution as Is-
the second , that in case any democratic par-tizan causes the removal of an efficient repub-lican
¬
and receives as his reward for casuing such-removal the nomination as successor to the-decapitated official , such nomination will not-be confirmed. No , sir. The general disposi-tion
¬
of the senate was to treat the president-kindly and fairly as the democrats did the re-publican
¬
president. "Senator Morrill , of Vermont, on belne ques-
tioned¬
on the subject , said : "I would prefer-not to talk about It, but I will say simply-this , that If I were editor of any paper I-
svould not think it worth taking the least-notice of. "
"I am satisfied , " said Senator Dolph of-Oregon , "that such resolutions were never-passed. . I don't care to say anything further-than that. As for considering that political-reasons would be regarded as sufficient cause-for the removal by republican senators , I can-only speak for mvself. I believe that if fed-eral
¬
officials who have a term of office to-run be removed for cause the .senate would-insider it a right to look Into the reasonsI-tself. . Of course this Is my own Individualo-pinion. . I can't savwhat the senate would3-o. . Tbe truth is that the subject of the fu-
ure-
; action of tho majority in relation to the-nominations was discussed in caucus atdiffer-nt
-: times , but no definite line of policy wasidopted-

Securing a num-ber of scaling ladders he sent a force" by set-to approach as silently as possible the wall:of the city, and to cover this movement h-
began a most furious attack along his wholi-line of siege works , .particularly at La Papa.-The
.
assailants from the seaside succeeded it-
placing many of their ladders and a numbei-of men succeeded in scaling the walls. Hat-a sufficient number of them done so before-making any demostration to attract the at-tention of a small number besieged , their trl-umph would have b jen secure, but with the-characteristic enthusiasm , when only aboul-sixty men had reached the walls , they begar-the usual "vlves" which brought upon them-at once the main force of the besieged. The-result was that the attac i by sea was renulsec-with a frightful loss , the bayonet and'knif *
doing their deadly hand to blind work. Een-man who reached the summit of the walls-was killed or wounded , and many at their bast-who sought to escape by swimming , were-drowned .

A
.
Baby Esfcimo Sharpshooter.-One
.of the first toys that a little Es-
kimo¬
has is a small bow of whalebone-or light wood ; and sitting on the eutl-
of the snow bed ho shoots his toj' ar-
rows¬
, under tho direction of his father-or mother or some one who cares to-
play with him , at something on the-other side of the snow house. This is-
usually a small piece of boiled meat , of-
which he is very fond , stuck in a crack-between the snow blocks ; and if ho-
hits it , he is entitled to eat it as a re-
ward¬
, although the little fellow seldom-needs such encouragement to stimulate-him in his plays , so lonesome and long-are the dreary winter days in which ho-
lives buried beneath the snow-.These
.
toy arrows are pointed with-pins ; but he is also furnished with blunt-arrows , and whenever some inquisitive-dog pokes his head in the igloo door ,
looking around for a gtray piece of-
meat or blubber to steal , the littlo-Eskimo , if he shoots straight , will hit-iiim upon the nose or head with one of-
the blunt arrows , and the dog will beat-a hasty retreat. In this sense , the lit-
tle¬
Eskimo boy has plenty of targets to-
shoot at , for the igloo door is nearly-always lilled with the heads of two or-
three dogs watching the baby's mother-closely ; and if she turns hor head or-
lack for a moment , they will make a-
rush to steal something , and to get out-as soon as possible before she can-pound them on the head-
.In.
these exciting raids of a halfdozen-lungry dogs , the little marksman is-
iable to getr by all odds , the worst of-
the encounter. He is too small to be-
noticed , and the first big dog that-rushes by him knocks him over ; the-next probably rolls him off the bed to-
he; floor; another upsets the lamp full-
of oil on himand; while he is recking-with oil , another big dog, taking him-'or a sealskin full of blubber , tries to-
Irag him out, when his mother happens-to rescue him after she has accidentally-jommeled him tvaor three times with-he club with which she is striking at-
the dogs and were it not for his hid-eous
¬
yellingand crying, one would-lardly know what he is , so covered is10 with dirtr greaser and snow. Thus-
the dogs occasionally have their revenge-on the young sharpshooter. SL-

?-Tne chief characteristicofQifa d&onaa-
is an abnormal nmonut o sugar in tho-
blood. . The cause of Ifc isr qnila nucert-
uin. . According to Flint , it occurs in-
the vast majority of cases between the-
ages of thirty and fifty ; in men. oftenec-
than iin women. It mar coat a long-
time before it is noticed , and then , con*
tinue years before proving fatal, IS-
often gives a'fatal issue to otherwise-
mild \diseases. Its chief test is a large-
per centage of sugar in the-"water, the-
quantity of the latter, also, generally*
not always , being increased.-
Among.
the earlier symptons are great-thirsb , a strong appetite , dryness of th&-
month and acid saliva ; later , emaciation ,,
increasing muscular feebleness , and in-many cases irritability , melancholy and-mental weakness. To arrest it , it must-be taken in its early stages. One-third !or more of its cases end. in. consamn *
tion. dj-
A diabetic patient , when the diseaso-has become confirmed , is liable to-
sndden death. The heart mar fail from-paralysis of its nerves ,; or, tho blood-poison affecting the brain , the person-may sink into a stateof insensibility, ,
delirium and coma (fatal lethargy). A-
slight cold may bring on this results-So may mere constipation , and. trauma-
physical exertion , mental emotion ,anxiety. '
Flint says , "The disease seems leaa-formidable than heretofore, pranctecl-proper treatment be adopted and per-sisted
>in. " The main thing is to arrange-
for the patient a diet which excludes ,as far as possible , sugar and starch ,and induce him rigidly to continue it-
while cutting off so many articles of the-ordinary diet , pains must pe taken to-
supply their place with others sufficient"-ly nutritious and appetizing. Gluten-bread may take the place of common-wheat bread. It contains only onerthird as much starch as that made from'-
entire wheat , and is acceptable to thetaste.-
The.
body should be carefully pro-tected
¬
against the influence of atmos-pheric
¬
changes , and the skin be kept-in a good condition. There should bo-exercise in the open air , but it should-be moderate. Mental relaxation and-recreation should bo secured. Youth'a-Companion. .
Origin of Masonry.-
A writer in a recent number of the-Voice of Masonry upon the origin of-
the order, gives a variety of views held-by high authority , but holds that it an-
tedates¬
the Christian era , or is , at least;not Christian in its inception. The-
writer savs : 'The whole-
Masonry blue masonry as we teclini-cally call it in its system of words ,grips and signs , as well tfs its tradition ,points to a non-Christian origin , and-
most unequivocally is Judaistic in its-
conception. . Its hieroglyphic and-mnemonic records , its oral transmission ,its impressive manner of imparting in-
struction¬
and fixing valuable lessons ,and its thorough consecration to law,
and order, all go to show that it is not-modern in its origin and conception. I-
believe , then , in the antiquity of Mason-ry
¬
that it was once specially Egyptian-in its character ; that subseqnently it-
was purified by Solomon , perhaps, and-by him consecrated to tho noblest pur-poses
¬
; that , becoming then the heritage-of the Israelites , it assumed its un-doubted
¬
Hebraic character ; that it has-been largely modified by successive-generations and nations ; that in tho-lapse of ages it became , under the-Providence of God , the inheritance of-
tho Anglo-Saxon race , who , after per-petuating
¬
it for centuries as they re-ceived
¬
it , finally , under the inspiration-of genius , following the example of-
others, remodeled and reconsecrated it ,giving it its Christian character , and-yet , in the broadness of its cnarity and-the glory of its philanthropy , not ex-
cluding¬
anyone who , believing in the-true God , has the other necessary quali-fications

Astor Millions.l-
leTr
.
York Lotter-
.Another million or so of the Astor-money is about to be spent on a largo-office building. The location this time-is in Pine street , just off Broadway. A-
few years ago one of the Astors put up-
a costly building of this kind in Wall-street , between Broadway and Nassau-street , and it has paid pretty well. The-
building in Pine street will back against-the costly Equitable Life structure ,which is to be enlarged pretty soon by-running through to Nassau street , and-taking in on Broadway a building that-is now occupied as one of the Delmonico-restaurants. . Almost that whole block-
bounded by Broadway , Nassau , Pine-and Cedar streets will then belong to-
the Astors and the Equitable Life. Pine-street has been for years the headquar-ters
¬
of the real estate brokers , and a-
Whole swarm of them will be turned-out on the 1st of May, when prepara-tions
¬
for putting up the new Astor-building will begin. The Astors are-still true to the family traditions in the-matter of investing their money. Near-ly
¬
all their accumulations go into real-estate. . All their millions were made-in real estate and they still prefer that-kind of investment to any other. Wall-street never had any charm for them ,
and probably never will. A few years-ago /ithey bought a large track of land upin Westchester Countywith the expec-tation
¬
that it will in time prove as good-an investment as some of those made-by the founder of the family when land-was as cheap on Murray HOI as it is in-"Westchester fCounty now. They are nots-.. very brilliant family , but they have a-
full share of solid "Dutch sense. "
The President has made nearly all-the leading foreign appointments , and-they are generally approved of by the-organs of both parties. The gentle-men
¬
selected are not iikely to discredit-this country abroad-
