WipKilHr.Un was an exciting :LeJMfc I BCCU0 nt ,l10 LoUh CnMimrim Vnllov denot this mom- Ine which was occa sioned by tho struggles of an athletic young man who was being taken to tho insano de partment of thoSchuyl- kill Haven almshouso. Tho young man was Thomas Wolsh, 'J3 years of ago and un married. IIo wa4 at ono timo employed as bfakeman on tho local division of tho Phil adelphia & Heading tiailroad. Welsh has exhibited signs of insanity for some timo, but only recently boenmo violent. Yesterday ho heard ho was to bo sent to an institution and he disappeared. After a long search ho wits found in tho bushes on tho mountain. Whllo at 'Sqtiiro Monaghan's ofllco last night ho becamo very ;lolent and threatened ovcrybody who approached him with bodily li irm. At ono time Constablo Tooniey and ex Poor Director Tracoy found it necessary to force tho unfortunate man to the pavemeni to get him under control. This momlng, Tooniey and spcaial ofllcer Anthouy Aloxis took Welsh to tho Lehigh depot, handcuffed. Whllo thoy wero standing on the platform Wolsh went into a fit of ragi and a desperate strugglo with tho officers ensuod. Tho lattor succeeded in getting the man into tho wailing room and kept him there until tho train arrived. Welsh was apparently in a unlet mood when tho train left. Another case which has aroused the sympathy of town peoplo is that of John Rooney. He died in tho insano department of tlio fcchuylkill Haven Almshouso on Thursday evening. Kooney was about fifty years of ago and resided hero for man J" years, hat had been at tho almshouso for a number of years. Ho was a notable figure thcro by leason of tho dignity ho assumed under tho delusion that ho was the King ol Spain. Those acquainted with Koonoy's history say ho had an cxccllont war record. Ho served throughout tho rebellion and remained in the army five years ul'ter it ceiled. Dur iug a cavalry engagement ho received a sabn wound 011 the side of his hoad and it is said that wound led to his iinfiirtuuato end. It is said that beforo Itooney was dis charged from tho army ho exhibited symp toms of iusauity and at ono timo walked all tho way from Washington, D. ft, to Ashland His object in walking to tho latter place hi said at tho timo was to visit tho war depart mont and securo his discharge. llooncy has a brother in Columbia county, but ho is said to bo too poor to uudortuki tho expenso of tho funeral and the vctoran will probably bo buried in the almshouse cemetery. A telegram was sont to tin brother yesterday, but brought no answer. About two yoars ago somo of RooneyV friends took steps to secuiv a pension from the government for him, hut tho proceeding wero never pushed. Said a noted man of GO years, "my mothei gave mo Downs' Elixir for coughs and cold.s when I was a boy." lm Letter From Mexico. Mr. It. ft Knight, of this placo, who is al present at Chihuahua, Moxico, writes to tlu Hkualii stating that tho telegraphic reports, from Chihuahua under date of March 7th, last, are exaggerations. Mr. Knight says no wonderful strike in gold and silver has been made at "Boss" Shepherd's mines in the District ot Batopilas. Tho Mexican govern ment, the letter says, gave Shepherd a very largo and valuable tract f laud in tho heart of tho silver district of Batopilas and Shepherd has ou that tract one hundred mines, but only works threo, and thoy are silver producing. Not ono nitno owned by Shepherd, says Mr. Knight, has a gold vein. Tho objettof Mr. Knight is to give credit wheo due. He says tho thrco gold and silver mines ot Batopilas are bonanzas. In tho last threo months they sent to Chihuahua ..bout $-275,000 each. USE DANA'S S A USA PA III LLA ,its "THE KIND THAT CUKES." In SeHMtiii, April 1st. Pick eggs. Eggs plenty. Eatcr to-morrow.

One Hume Industry Is Paying, Why Not lluvo More ? Tho announcement In yesterday's IIeeald of tho hat and cap manufacturing firm of I'obbius & Hoiisenick branching out into a stock company lias again brought on dis cussions and speculations on the advantages; tho town would derive from more of sncli industries. Among those who have been discussing tho firm's success is a very promi nent gentleman who says that with a capital of about $12,000 ho could transplant to an excellent sito In this town n good nayiug shoe factory that is now giving omploymeat to from 73 to 100 hands. This factory, the gentleman says, is now locate! Iu a place where labor is scarce, and he is confident that if it wero brought hero tho producing ca pacity and earnings of tho plant would. doublo within a few months. The cost t)f purchasing tho plant and tho site would not oxecod $12,000, and it would coin money from tho start. This seems to bo an excellent opportunity forauyouewho may be seeking a cliauco for a good husinoss invostmont. There should be no dilllculty In duplicating; the hat and cap factory's success. , .
