Another Legal Holiday.
The legislature has added another le
gal holiday to the list already on the
calendar in Pennsylvania. This time
it is May 1st, and will be known as
Dewey day, to commemorate the great
naval vietory in Manila bay, May 1,
1808. It is likely to be as intlifferently
observed as are a majority of the other
legal holidays created by our legisla-
ture. It might be observed that no le
gal enactment is needed to make Dew-
ey’s victory an event remembered by
the American people,

STANCES.
A Bon Strikes Down his Father In Froteot-
ing his Mother from Injury &
A peculiar fatality occurred on Bat.
urday night near Fiedler, in which a
som Louis Dennis, was compelled to
strike down his father, from which
death resulted, in protecting his moth-
er from the frenzied assaults of his
father. The affair caused intense ex-
citement in that law-abiding com-
munity, and was the cause for many
wild rumors to be set afloat, all of
which were incorrect, The particulars
we have carefully gleaned are as fol-
lows:
Samuel Dennis, a resident of the lo-
cality aforesaid, was subject to epilep-
tic fits. On Saturday night, Louis,
who was in bed, heard an unsual noise
in the bed chamber of his parents and
arose to ascertain the cause, His
mother was crying for help, and he at
once ran to her assistance. Upon
entering their room he was astonished
to find his mother lying on the floor
and his father bending over her vio-|
lently administering blows upon the
helpless mother. The son immediate
ly pulled the father away who then
turned his violence against the young
man and a fierce struggle ensued in
the dark. When the father was pull- |
ed off the mother, he grabbed a chair
and attacked the son, The boy was |
struck several tinues with the chair,
but at last succeeded in landing a blow |
with his first on the side of his father’s |
head which rendered him insensible, |
Efforts were then made to resuscitate |
the injured man, but he remained un-|
conscious until Monday morning
when death occurred.
Dennis was always thrown into a]
violent frenzy when attacked with an |
epileptic fit. |
The explanation is that in an attack |
of epilepsy hewas thrown into a frenzy |
which led to his violent action. On |
next morning, Monday, the father died |
suddenly, no doubt from the effects of |
the fit, struggle and excitement of the |
previous night.
The son, Louis is not
having done more under the eircum- |
stances, than called for for the protec- |
tion of his mother who might have
had the life beaten out of her by the |
crazed father but for the timely appear- |
ance of Louis,
suspected of |

Worry Causes Insanity,
The report of the Danville Insane As-
ylum shows that the laborer
leads the list of patients, farmers are a
close second and miners are third
among the demented. The cause of in-
sanity in most cases is ascribed to wor.
riment, and in this the poorer classes
predominate. Of the trades and profes-
sions there are comparatively few pa-
tients at the asylum.
