The New York express, over the Balti more & Ohio railroad, carried last night, in the smoking car, a woman and seven children, none over 12 years of age and all the family but two were more or less demented. Just as the train was reaching Clarksburg, east of here, the mother rushed to the plat form and leaped from the train shriek ing wildly. She dashed through a crowd of passengers, bleeding from her fall and started for the lulls., "When the train stopped, her two oldest children, boys, armed them selves with whatever they could find and defied all who approached them, bnt were finally secured. The only one in tho family who seems to be sane is a girl eight years old. She said that her mother's name was Mrs. John Brannon, and that they formerly lived at 8,210 Pennsyl vania avenue, St. Louis. Her father, sho said, had for years treated them cruelly, and only n few days ago had driven them from their home with a shot gun. Often times, eho said, their father had been away from home for days at a time and left them nothing to eat. Ho never came back without beating their mother and ho often threatened to kill them. Mrs. Brannon was for merly a beautiful woman and it is said that she is related to prominent Philadelphia ieople. Jtist lit tin; IViok tif'I'hiic. Mrs. Lydia A. NHmmi, Luther, Lake County.

The Demo cratic Congressional campaign com mittee has goiton down to hard work. "This is a campaign ot education" is the watchword at headquarters, and the committee has determined that voters shall bo educated, if an unlim ited supply of documents can accom plish it. Carlisle's great speech on the tariff will be sent out during the next few days in large numbers. The speech has been delayed by the in disposition of the Senator from Ken tucky, but it is a very effective docu ment. A Democratic campaign book will also be issued on Monday. It is now ou the pres.s. Tho book is a large one of 400 pages, and was very carefully prepared by Logan Carlisle, son of the senator, and is an able and accurate work. Owing to the great length of the book, .and the lateness of its issue it will not bo used for general distribution, but it is expected to bo of great assistance to campaign speakers all over the country. Secretary Towlo said to-day that re ports from .ill over the country were encouraging. LIKi: ALJKAIIAM. An Insane Vom:in Wanted, to Make a Slusnnu Sacrifice.

A Bnssian Finn, whose name is un known, but who had imbibed very freely, was locked up last night on a charge of disturbing tho peace. He was raising a row in a saloon near the Union Pacific wharf. When Officer Hendrickseu appeared on the scene tho man attacked him with a rudeb constructed pair of iron knuckles, and it was only after a severe struggle that tho policeman landed him in jail.

An extraordinary story is telegraphed from St. Peters burg, and it is probable that no ro mancer has ever imagined a more dra matic incident. A young professor of medicine, Koncharky by name, closed a lecture on poisonous acids given in the labratory of the university by pouring into a glass somo drop3 of one of the poisons, saying as he drank .them: "Iu two minutes you are going to see a man dio before your eyes Gentlemen, I bid you farewell." Several students rushed up and tried to administer au antidote, bnt it was powerless and at the expiration 01 tnc time ne had nxed he was dead. There is great excitement in St Petersburg over the tragic incident, and it is generally believed that tho professor had gone suddenly mad for no motive for the act as far as is known, existed. He leaves a wife, of wnom he was very fond, and two little children. Ho will be buried with great pomp at tho expense of the state. SUING TIIE'CITV. A Street Railway Company Wants Its Rilitv.
