He was very quiet until the prisoners began making preparations for dinner, when all of a sudden he became very obstreperous. Grabbing a knife in one hand and a table leg in the other he created a panic among the other prisoners. The result was the prisoners were badly disfigured, having several gashes cut in their heads. Jailer Tigh was soon on hand,but a desperate struggle occurred before they could get the best of the unfortunate man. A stream of water was turned on him and during the turmoil the lunatic had a gash cut in his head nearly six inches long.

[t is the expectation of the man zers to also patch uv the Cullom bill changing the interstate commerce bill to meet recent decisions. As introduced, this bill contained the important *pooling clause, which was afterward stricken ot by the committee on very close vote, and it is possible that an effort will be made when the bill is under consider: m in_ the senate to restore this provision to the bill The house leaders intena to keepat work on the appropriation bills to the exclusion of all_other busi As soon us the sundry civil bill is passed, the general deficiency, the consular and diplomatic, the military academy, the pension and the postoffice bills, all of which are now on the ealendar, will b taken up, probably in the order named and sent over to the senate There should not be much delay in passing the first of these bills, unless an’ attempt to exploit the condition of the treasury should involve the house in a general financial debate. The pension and postoftice supp.y bills are quite likely to be the subject of con- siderable discussion, owing to some radic Langes in methods proposed by the forme and to heavy increases of appropriations posed by the latter bill The passage of these bills will leave only three of the appropriation bills unacted on by the house. Two of these bills, the Tndian i the agricultural, ave expected to be re- | ported before these measures now on the calendar are out of the way. The naval bill should follow close on their heels, its delay having been due to a desire to khow the con dition of the treasury before commencing the | construction of additional war vessel The separate order for the Andrew-Cate | banking and silver purchase vepeal bill, which the committec on rules has agreed to report, may bo brought in during the weck but it is not intended to cail it up until the morning of the day on_which it is to go in operation —February 9—-so that this fight is O for more than a week.

William Brensley Austin, better knowr Billy Austin, was one of the oldest station ary engineers in the city, and was considered one of the best, He camé to Omaha some eighteon years ago and for a long time was izineer on the Tizer, a boat that operated between the head waters of the Missouri river and St. Louis. Then he went st una drove a locomotive on the Er but not liking railroading' he returned and found employment all of the time on Omaha. After the grew to such an extent that steam were brought in, he quit the river and again steamboat, upon keeping town plants went to running stationary machines, working for and corporations in the city. _During the latter years of his res dence in Omaha he has made himself quite famous by writing for magazines which_de- voted their space to discussing the applic tion of gteam. One of his articles, entitled “The Sliding Valve,”" was copied_exten sively both in this country and in Europe. When the association of stationary engi his oye | neers held its national convention in this city two yoars ugo Austin was an writer on the daily publication_that sucd and as such he won quite, & tion. editorial vus reput, He Suddenly Disappeared. Last fall when the ofticials moved nto the new city hall, Mayor Bemis appointed Austin engineer of the building, giving him full charge and control of the steam and heating plant. In this capacity he served until the latter part of the yeat, when without giving 1y notice, he tendered his resignaiion, which was accepted by the city council on Decem- ber 6. On that evening, after eating his he bade his wife and two boys good- bye, put on his overcoat and left his home in the north partof the city, saying that he was going to attend the council meeting. He did not return that night, but as there was a blizzard the members of the family did not feel uncasy. thinking that he had remained in the ity He did not friends were return the next day, and his notified. Search was insti- fruitless. Austin had dis- speared as though swallowed up by the carth. For days this scarch was continued by the members of the family and by the members of the se orders to which he belonged. Finally when it was discovered that no trace of the missing man could be found he was given up for dead, the opinion being that he had wandered away in a fit of temporary insanity and possibly had been drowned in the river. With public opinion holding that view of the case, nothing more s thought of the matter until yesterday when Tug Bre located Austin at the count poor farm, where he has been since Januar 18, and where he is known as William Bren le: 4 Arrested and Called Insane. The blotter at the central police station shows that near the hour of midnight on December 6, Officer Kissane was patrolling South Thirteenth street, below Farnum, and us he was making his rounds he met a man who acted in a peculiar munner. The indi- vidual was arrested and taken to “the city | juil, where he gave his name as William Brensley. He was booled as having “snakes,” and the city physician was called. After making an examination the doctor decided that the man should be sent to the county jail. The next day he was carted up the hiil and locked in the county fail where he con- tinued to be an nmate until January 18, when the insanity commission passed upon the case and ordered the patient to the county poor farm, holding that he was in- san, Yesterday morning Tne Bre learned of the facts as above stated, and a reporter at once visited the institution, asking to be allowed the priviloge of seeing Brensley. | Superintendent Mahoney ushered the man and ark, “How are in the parlor of the county building, after shaking hands, the rem you, Austin?® was made. Austin stared vacantly around the room for a moment and in manner that indi- cated that reason was complotely dethroned, responded: “I don't know you and I gu that you are on the wrong track this time,” He Faintly Remembered Austin. 0Old times were talked over, the poor fellow continually declaring that he was William Brensley, and that in his younger days he knew William Austin, “‘but,” he continued, “the poor fellow is dead now. He was o good friend of mine and we were raised boys other, both having the same godfather, William Brensle; He took the namé of illi Austin and I the name William Brensley.” When asked how he happened to get into tRe poor house, Austin declared that on the night of December 6he came to the city over the Union Pacific on his way to Mem- phis, where he was going to take a position on a Mississippi river steamboat. He stopped off at the depot and was on his way up town, when he was met by three men, who robbed him of 80, a watch and his overcoat, and then ran aw: He states that he followed them until he met a police- man. The officer stopped him, told him that he was crazy, and took him to jail. After that he remembers that he was examined by Dr. Tilden and sent to the county jail, where he remained until he reached the poor farm. Siuce then he states t one has pr nounced him insane, but he declares that he is not, and that he is kept in_the institution that the relatives of Austin may secure some valuable property that was left to him in freland upon the death of his father. Upon every subject except the one regard- 4ing his connection with Austin he talks as filibuster againgt it.

They showed that as u wat- ter of party policy, of fairness to the people of the state and ordinary political honor re submission could not be gainsaid. Finally to make assurance sure and to show that they were not extremists, they agreed to make the amendment not simply to thro aside prohibition, but to substitute for it local option by cities and towns. Should the present bill pass those cities and towns which wanted saloons, that is those towns where as now prohibition is not enforeed and can not be, may have the saloons, while those towns which do not want them will do without, This is 2 measure of justice and must appeal to the sense of fairness which underlies American system of rule by the majovity. It isnot the old country local option which caused so much dissatisfaction, but municipal local option, which has proven a great cess wherever tried. There is no question whatever that a great majority of the prople of the state will favor it.

CHEYE: » Wyo., Jan. 20.—[Special gram to Tine Bee.]—The senatorship has developed into a deadlock that, from present appearances, will not be broken for some time. The republican vote appears equally divided between Senator Warren and Congressman Clark, with this difference in their relative strength, that Clark could get the entire vote of the party should a sufficient number of populi upport him, while Warren could not get within four of the full republican vote.

To him Clark would if he concluded his own chance of election was gone ‘Whi apparent fight which could in a moment be resolved into complete harmony is going on in the republican party there is the fiercest kind of a battle in progress in the democratic column. Now the least able and worthy of the democratic nominees has succeeded by threats and cofolery in gathe: ing about him a sufficient number of legis- lators to control a caucus. He has repeatedly endeavored to have a caucus held but the members opposed to him refuse flatly to go into one. The other democratic candidates, Holliday, Corn and Beck say-little, but are working like beavers to draw from New some of his strength. Republicans generally concede that a~democrat or populist will be elected and the better class are anxious to have the matter settled soon, though the politicans care little how much the struggle is prolonged as every day is weakening the democratic party in'the state. The populists alone are united and are in a position to solve the question at any time when it suits them and when the democrats unite upon a candidate acceptable to them They do not want New us he is supposed to be the Umon Pacific candidate. They are averse to Beck and Baxter, both having been in sympathy with the invasion. A se- lection of Corn or Holliday, who are in the field, or of Thompson or Beckwith who are vowed candidates would suit them. Several ballots are expected to be taken to- morrow. Tele- fight ADY WAS ELECTED, Kansas Republicans Make a Discovery That ‘Wiil Disappoint the Democrats, Toreka, Kau., Jan. 20.—The republicans have just learned that they elected an United States senator in the joint session of the two houses last Wednesday. They claim that none of the members of the populist house were legally sworn in and consequently had 10 right to vote for senator; that the state senators, including the populist members of | that body, together with the members of the republican house, constituted a quorum of the joint convention; that Ady received sev cnty-seven votes, or a majority of the quorum, and that he was, therefore, elected senator. Mr. Ady will be furnished with credentials signed by Speaker Douglass of the repub- lican house and by each of the republican senators, and will proceed at once to Wash ington to claim the seat row occupied by Senator Perkins and to which the populists claim to have elected Judge John Martin aemocrat. The republicans expect that the United States senate, having a republican majority, will give Mr. Ady the se PROHIBITION DEFEATED, South Dakota Leglslato Loeal Opti Prerng, 8.
