Pronounced Sane
Evander McMillan was put in jail some
time ago, charged with being insane.
Yesterday he was examined by several
doctors, who pronounced him sane. He
was accordingly discharged. It is thought
that he was rendered temporarily insane
by excessive drinking of "corn juice."
A Disturbance on the Bowery.
Last , night two negroes named Geo.
Potts and Ed. McMillan threw brick-bats
into Martin's bar, and when threatened
with arrest aimed several at Mr. Frank
Maultsby, the bar tender, one of which
struck him on the shoulder. He picked
up a pistol and fired several shots at the
men. Although they made good their
escape, something like a piece of ear was
found afterwards on the floor. When the
smoke had cleared away it was found that
one of the handsome pictures which adorn
the wall was smashed.
On account of lack of orders the Hope
Mills Manufacturing Company are not

midst of the panic. Hooray for the gold
standard.

An Amusing Sight
A drummer with a great big pack in his
hand was seen trudging along Hay Street
this morning between eleven and twelve
o'clock trying first one door and then an
other on both sides of the street. Suddenly
and with a most startled air he turned
around as if to inquire the cause of such
a strange phenomena, but seeing no one
in sight, made a dive for a bar-room.
When he found that closed he gave a
wild yell and fled back to the Hotel. We
suppose he thought judgment day had
come, but be no doubt soon learned that
the people were only being reminded of
judgment day at the meeting in the
Armory.

The Guerrant meeting.
Again the Armory was packed last
night and again Dr. Guerrant charmed bis
listeners. His description of a visit to an
old man eighty years old and a great sin
ner, and the old man's comparing him
self to the one remaining large tree in the
yard -out of many which . had fallen to
the ground in his days and that tree it
self blasted and about . to fall, too late to
be saved, was exceedingly fine.
He said that every sin was a . seed of
death and justified death, but God in his
mercy had permitted this old man to sin
over 25,000 times, and yet would save him
if he would only repent.
