A MADMAN WITH A SCYTHE.
t TRIES TO MOW OW!f A MOB Or EXCITED
' PEOPLE 6K FOURTH AVENUE, 1
A tall, slightly built jiian. with gray
chia whiskers, got olT a Fourth avenue
oar at tha comer of Twenty-eighth
treet Ut night Hi ahirt was crum
pled and soiled and his soft slouch hat
was tuud-stained. lie held a scythe in
bis right hand, whose tung curved edge
glittered in the gaslight Half dozen
people paused when the stranger threw
off his hat and began to cut the air
with bis scythe. Some one in the
crowd shouted : '
"Get an -officer and have hlin arrest
ed." The man Still mowed down sections
of atmosphere and appeared unconcern
ed. A cabman named Williams got
down from bis box and approached
him. Williams struck the scythe with
the but end of his whip, but did not
knock it from the man's graHp. The
cabman's attack was the signal for a
violent outbreak on the purt of the
madman. He drew his fingers along
the clear, white edge, and, swinging
tbe murderous weapon above his head,
dashed into (he crowd. There were
fully two hundred people on the block
at tbo time, and they lied toward
Twenty-ninth street. The madmau
shouted hysterically :
"I will kill them all. I am going to
kill them all," and ran after the fright
ened men and boys. Fifty iwople had
gathered in the rear. At the corner of
Twenty-ninth street half a dozen men
were close at bis heels. I fe sudduuly
turned and shouted;
"1 can kill them all. I am going to
kill John L. Sullivan and all the rest
of them."
A gain the clean, white scythe glis
tened and the madman dashed -among
the people. Thev fell right and left
and the lunatic passed between them
Crowds bad collected on the opposite
side of the throughfare and shouted all
sorts of advioe to the frightened people
in the hallway.
Across the street rvn the lunatic, and
the people there fled in terror. An
agile young fellow attempted to trip
him up, and another tried to catch him
around the neck. Thea devices were,
however, futile, and the cries of "Pol
ice were heard on all sides.
The lunatic was probably not on the
block more than ten minutes altogath'
r, but the panic he created drew peo
ple from all over the city. Before the
officer arrived another cabman attacked
him. - He held a heavy whip in his
hand, and his first blow felt on the
hsnd clutching the scythe. The lunatic's
eyes bulged in their sockets, and with
a wild shriek he ran at his assailant.
The cabman met him firmly and batter
edhim over the head and shoulders
with his whip until the madman at
length drove him into a hallway for
refuge. The man with . the scythe
danced np and down on the pavement,
His attention was turned away for a
second, and the cabman darted out and
with a well-aimed blow knocked the
say the from his hand. The cabman bent
to pick it up, but the lunatic was too
quick lor uilj. ne cauguc it dj toe
dge and attempted to job the wooden
handle down the cabman's throat. - At
this juncture officer Browalie, of the
Twenty-first precinct, swung his club
and sent the scythe spinning in tbe air.
Then he caught tbe laoatio by the col
lar and shook him. At the station
house the prisoner, after a great deal of
. questioning, said that bis name was
Patrick Clarkson, and that be was a
gardner, : living at No. 5o5 Second
avenue, , Sergeant Fitzgerald- committ
ed him bn the charge of being . a
disorderly person. After his hands,
which were cut, had been bound up, a
three cornered file was found in bis
pocKet. New York World. . ,
No reoen tance can ever wipe oat
the oast, or make it be as tbonch
it had Dot been; bat the remorse of
a fine character may be transmuted
into a permanent source of nobler
news of life and tbe world. iiesue

ing an excursion from Bennettsville to

Mnffin Club w..uld go to Dauville with
tbe excursion and give an exhibition for
the benefit of the Baptist church at this
place:
A.nd, whereas, on lost Sunday night
it was announced from the Dnlnit that
this was done without the authority of
tue ollicers of tbe church. I wish to
state, in my own vindication, tliat the
authority to do so was given to me by
brother Linscombe. the pastor, at my
house in the presence of my family at
least, and those present so understood
it at the time, and I had the posters put
np, beiioving it r gut at tue time.
I hive received from the Baptist
church in Wintton tho following au
thority duly signed:
We, the members of tho Baptist
church of Winston, give Rob't Harris
the right to show auy where in tbe

to the benefit of the said church of
