notified me of my unanimous nomination to
the office of speaker of the house of repre

very briefly and very earnestly for
the confidence reposed In me. If this had
been a mere personal contest between mo
and the distinguished eentlemen whose

this , nomination , I should have had little
hope of success. They are all gentlemen of
great ability , long experience and undoubt
ed .integrity , and 1 assure them and their
friends that this'contest closes , asfaras I

jof the friendly personal relations heretofore

If ou may neverTrnve reason to regret the set
of this evening , and whetf the labors of
the Forty-eighth congress are closed ,
you muy be able to congratulate
yourselves. No material interest of
your pariy or country has been injuriously
affected by the administration of the office
for which you have nominated me in fact I
may go a step farther and venture to express
3 confident hope that every substantial-in
terest will be advanced and promoted by the
united cfforts.of the presiding officer and the
democratic majority on the floor. Such a
ret-ult will inbure u victory In the great con
tests vet to come and guarantee a lomr line
of democratic executives , with honest ,

, THE SLAYER OF CAREY.
ConTicted and Sentenced to Death How
He BecelYed the Verdict.
* When counsel , completed vthe rgnr
mentfiintheO'DonnellcHse on the Ifet Judge
Denman Immediately charged the Jury fay
ing that the evidence was compact , the
question was simply " Was the killing done
in nolf defence ? " The jury nuiHt decide the
cane regardlehw of what they may have read
in the newspapers which he thought par
tially responsible for the shooting of Carey
on account of thejr morbid and sensational
paragraphs concerning him. The judge IB
reviewing the evidence Hald he found the
.wltneagea agreed with eacli other that up to
the moment of the Hhoo'tiug , O'Donnell and
Carey Deemed to be friendly. As to O'Don-
nell's word ? to Mrs. Carey under the cir
cumstances the Judge thought the. jury
Hhould adopt the version most favorable to
lhe prisoner. It was plain that O'Donnell
did not hay : "I am perry , but I had to do
it. He attacked me first. "
Upon the completion of the judged
charge the jury at 7'p. m. retired to delib
erate. At this time O'Donnell stood up In
the dock and looked about with great com-
posure.
The Jury first returned to ask if a man
had u deadly weapon in his -hand , nnd au-
other thought.hc was about to use it against
him aud ehotthe former , , would'lt be man
slaughter or murder ?
The Judge replied that it-would be neither.
But , hoasked , when was the evidence of
auy act done by Carey which induced
O'Donnell to think Carey meant to shoot
him ?
"When the Jury had retired Mr. Sullivan
expressed a doubt as to whether the judge
had not given a wrong direction to the minds
of the jury by his question.
Judge Denman acted Mr. Sullivan if he
could suggest where such evidence was.
When the jury returned the second time
they aaked the judge the meaning of'mal -
Ice aforethought. 'J
The judge carefully defined the law of
murder , bearing upon that point ag applied
t to the present case , quoting authorities In
support of his definition and application.
The' jury again retired , and returned In
four minuter ) with a verdict of wilful mur
der.
der.When
When Judge Denmaii asked O'Donnell if
jho had anything to say why sentence of
! death should not be pawned on him , he mode
no reply. The judge then passed sentence
of death in the u ual form. The prisoner
now wanted to apeak but the judge , how
ever , ordered his removal. The police
seized him , when O'Donnell held up his
right hand with fingers extended and shout
ed : "Three cheers for old Ireland 1"
"Good bye , United States I" "To hell
with the British and the Britl-h crown ! "
The prisoner , shouting , cursing and strug
gling , was forcibly removed by the police ,
amid the most fearful confusion and slam
ming of doors. This aciion by O'Donnell
cauod the greatest excitement and surpriae ,
an he had previously gained the sympathy of
the aydieuce by his good behavior.
Double Attempt at Suicide.
Omaha Uerald.
The report that a woman had made
a double attempt at suicide shocked the
public yesterday morning. It transpired
that Mrs.Vm. . llyon , the woman in ques
tion , left her home on Fourteenth and"Web-
Bter to look after a house , as she and her
hufrband had talked of moving. On hel-way
to the south part of the city she called on
Mr. Pyaii , who is stationed at No. 2 engine
house , and left her purse until she could
return. She then visited a Mrs. Cieary , a
friend , living on the corner of Sixteenth
and Mason streets , who was somewhat sur
prised to tee her. Mrs. Ryan requestedIhe
liberty of lying down , as she felt indis
posed. Her request was granted and she
was shown to a bed-room , where , after be
ing left alone , she tied a rope around her
neck and cut her throat. The inmates of
the house , hearing an unusual noise , enter-
the apartment and found Mrs. Ryan with a
large pash across her throat and a butcher
knife lying by her side.
There seems to be no doubt but that the
act wan committed while she was laboring
under tin attack of temporary insanity.
LATKK Mrs-Ryan died from her wounds
at 6 o'clock on Friday morning.

N Treatment olTyphoid Payer , j
v " " " "
RewTork Tribune.v
The academy of medicine hold its
regular meeting last night. Every seat
was occupied , and many Indies were
present. Dr. Francis Delafield road a
paper on "Typhoid Fever. " He said :
The mortality tables of the board of
health show a yearly mortality of from
100 to 200 cases of typhoid fever. In
1853 to 1856 , when typhus fever pre
vailed in New York , the mortality from
typhoid even ran up from 500 to 600
cases. In 1883 , up to October 1 , there
has been 274 deaths. Trie disease is
most prevalent in New York in August ,
September and October. Out of 1,305
cases treated in the various hospitals in
the city from January 1 , 1876 ,
to October 1 , 1883 , in different
years , there was a great variation
in the percentage of mortality. The
highest percentage of mortality was in
1880 , when of the 110 patients treated
30 per cent died ; the lowest was m
1879 , when only 20 pet cent of the 114
cases treated terminated fatally. The
disease in New York ias followed the
ordinary rule of preferring young
adults. Of the 1,305 cases treated , 604
were between 20 and 30 years of age.
In the different hospitals there are
great'differences.in the methods of
treatment. Alcohol in some .shape is
given by some physicians in every case-v
In others peptonized milk is used. By
other physicians it is rarely used. In
some hospitals quinine is giv n in near
ly every instance , in others it is only
used when the temperature is above 130
degrees , and in others it is hardly given
at all. Opinions differ widely as to its
use. General bathing seems to have
been abandoned , but sporgmg the sur
face of the body with cold water , or cold
water and alcohol , is employed to a
largo extent in some of the hospitals.
Dr. A. L. Lomis said : Dr. Delafield
has not given any definition of what is
typhoid fever. "He has left an open
question whether the fevwr is one of
spontaneous development , or whether
it depended upon poison which must
be developed in a living organism , and
which must undergo certain changes
before it is infectious ; in other words ,
whether we can have true typhoid"fever
without having typhoid germs. Some
of the wards in our hospitals are in a
condition to develop typhoid fever , ev-
en if it were of a spontaneous origin.
Dr. F. P. Kinnicutt said : In regard
to treatment the question of the advan
tages of alcohol is a difficult one to
decide. In some cases restlessness is
diminished by its use ; but , in a number
of apparently equally favorable cases ,
we see the reverse of this picture. My
rule is to withhold alcohol until the
third week , and then give it only if it
seems necessary. In two cases which I
have recently noticed , where large
doses of alcohol were given thedeliruin
was strongly marked ; on the sudden
withdrawal of the alcohol the delirum
ceased , and in all other respects the
patient showed marked improvement.
The best treatment is simply rest in
bed , quietude and a. strictly regular
diet , reserving medical diet only for
special symptoms.
Dr. Janeway said that the causes of
typhoid fever were in many cases-'diffi
cult to determine. He related the his
tory of investigations after an outbreak
of typhoid fever at the deaf &nd dumb
asylum and.at Princeton. In both cases
the cause of the disease was defective
drainage. In the first case the drain
age pipe passed within fifteen feet of
the well , there were no signs of break
age , and it required the most careful
experiments to determine that the wa
ter was contaminated.
Dr. T. A. McBride said he had used
kairin as a substitute for quinine for the
purpose of reducing temperature with
good results.

Is Woman Degenerating ?
From an English Paper.
Unquestionably there is a change in
progress in the relation of woman to EO-
ciety. The old-time theory by which
she was held , treated andgoverned as a
chattel has been practically abandoned
in this country at least. Nevertheless
there are many relics of this theory
which are still cherished in society , and
. .
* -t - j
itwHl be many years ere they also are
consigned tcToblmori. It is still a part
of the unwritten law that a woman loses
caste by earning hrr own living , unless
she makes a grand success , and then so
ciety condones , her offense as a freak of
genius. Nothihgis more common than
.a , senli-apology forttVoman , whtf works ,
and if it can be said : "Oh ! she didn't
have to work ; her father was wealthy ,
but she was so independent , " it is uni
versally understood the young woman
has not lost all claim to social consider
ation. It is only those who must work
who are regarded as a little "off color"
socially. As long , therefore , as this
idea prevails , and until it shall be as
proper , as necessary and as much ex
pected that a woman shall have occu
pation to earn her living as it is that a
man shall do so , there will be some diffi
culty in meeting the deterioration theory -
ry squa"rely. For society , as now cdn-
stitutcd , will regard the steady progress
of women toward equal labor" duty and
responsibility with man as one of the
greatest evidences of her deterioration ,
and will treat woman suffrage as of the
agents in invading her privacy and des
troying her softness , dependence and
general usefulness. But the woman of
the future will be in every respect man's
co-equal worker and friend , and while
she will lose nothing of the sweetness
she now possesses she will gain im
mensely in , her own capacity for sym
pathy , labor and recreation. 'This is
one prophecy against another , but it is
just as valuable as the other until it is
proven false.
China's Young Emperor.
A letter in the Noith China" News re
ports the youthful emperor as very
bright and as making rapid and satis
factory progress with his titudiea. He
proceeds to the school room every day
shortly after the cabinet council say
about 8 or 9 o'clock and continnes
with his teachers of whom , there are
several , till 1 or 2 p. ni. His progress
is said to be twice as rapid as Chinese
youths , and the plan adopted seems to
be more rational. It is not with him * a
mere question of committing a certain
number of characters to memory , but
his teachers read over the" passages
several times and explain to him the
meaning of the characters. , J3eing now
13 years of age , having amended the
throne when a boy of 4 $ he meets his
ministers : at the council every morning ,
and in his audiences lie is instructed by
the western empress , his aunt , the em
1 press regent , what questions to put.
No eunuchs or attendants whatever are
allowed to be present at these meetings.
Allstate documents are kept strictly
private. They are sent sealed to the
empress for her inspection , and the em
peror takes his with him to his private
quarters. At his public interviews he
is always attended by his ministers. His
father is seldom there , but Prince Kung
is always present. The emperor re
sembles his father , the seventh prince ,
very much. As is well known , most of
Tao Kuang's sons are of a slender
build , and rather poor and meager as
pect. Their bodily presence is em
phatically weak. "When the emperor
proceeds to the schoolroom or else
where through the courts of the palace ,
those on guard give the alarm , and the
eunuchs and others immediately retire
within the rooms and draw the curtains.
The very dogs have been trained to ob-
eerve this rule , and on the mention of
the word shou they , too , retire into con
cealment before the august presence oi
the bodgo-khan. The empress is said
to be a very able woman , but with a
fiery temper. The prince has recently
set up a telephone betweeu nis palace
and his garden , where he loves to sit
surrounded by all nature in artificial
miniature. In his garden he has a lake
with boats , islands , rockeries , hill , etc. ,
and erected in consp'icious places hfi
has foreign representations of wild an
imals. He lately added some clay
deer to his selections. His pleasure
grounds are more extensive even than
those in the palace , which are not much
over an acre in extent.

TJBing Good English.
Hartford ' our nt.
Much is said now of the art of writing ;
in good English style. The masters of
the English language are supposed to
be in their grave , as indeed many of
them aro. A Eomewhat careful and
very delightful re-reading of Haw
thorne's "Old Home" and "English
Note Books , " and "Mosses from an Old
Manse , " has convinced us that no wri
ter of his day or of this time equals him
in the purity , felicity and beauty of his
style of writing. Of living authors
Mr. Matthew Arnold is thought , aud
justly so , to excel in his written use of
good English. He evidently has some
thing to say and simply says it. Is
there anything more to be said about
stvle than old Dr. Emmons said to an
inquiring student : "Have something
to suy , then say it. "
These things were suggested by two
letters in an editorial of the Courant
last Thursday morning. One was a let
ter from General Grant to General
Sherman , and the other a letter from
General Sherman to General Grant in
reply. There is something very noble ,
very pathetic even in the generous ,
brotherly sentiment of these letters.
Great men make great friends. But
if one will notice the letters are not
less remarkable for their literary per
fection. One must go far to find better
'
English. Mr. Matth'ew Arnold himself
could do no better , and would probably
not do so well. Not a wo.rd but is elecr ,
and no elect word is misplaced. But
were these soldiers trying to write fine
letters ? Did they pause in the duties
of war to ( iomposo fine sentences ? Giv
en a disciplined , something to say , and
the simple endeavor to .say it , and
what is there more ?

"How do I know 1 ow that tastes ? "
"Excuse me , my dear , I forgot you

"That's what makes mo so'superior

"You may think so , my dear , but
your vote can't prove it at the polls ,
and that's where I've got the bulge on
you. "
"May be you have , Topnoody , bnt

you live your vote ain't as big as a pioc

"Go on , my dear I'm used to it. "
"You don't like that kind of politics ,
do you ? "
"Well , no , my dear , I can't say I do.
It is too much like the November re
turns. There's Butler , too , he's got it
in the neck badly in Massachusetts. "
"Bah ! I hate Butler. "
"Of do because be
course you , .deci
ded that a woman was not 'a person,1
under the statutes , and was not eligible
to office. You women want the earth ,
and if a man even asks for a lot to bo
buried in , yon kick about your rights.
I.like Butler , myself , for his suppres
sion of women. " j > '
"Certainly you do. It's natural to } J
like the qualities in other people which '
we do not ourselves possess. Butler
doesn't know you , nor ino cither , does ,
he ? " ; 1
"Of course he doesnt. What's that Jf I
got to do with it ? "
"It's got just this much to do with it.
If he knew yon and knew me , yon can
bet your last dollar , Topnoody , that in 1
stead of saying a woman was not 'a
person , under the statutes , ' then the j *
statutes were nugatory , void and of no 1
effect in the Topnoody family. Butler i -
may be an old fool in some respects , ?

to know beans when the bag's open and ,
he is looking square into it with his
eyes skinned clear back and a full , '

around a man without an umbrella. "
Topnoody went down street to talk
policies with a better subject.
Faggot-Voting in England.
FteetwooU [ En ? . ] Chronicle , Oct. 6,1SS.
An extraordinary case of faggot-vot
ing : came to light in the Revision Court
at Oxford lost week. Rev. Washbonrno
West , bursar of Lincoln College , claim
ed a vote for the city. Objection was
taken to the claim on the "ground that
the reverend gentleman did not occupy
the house , which conferred the franchise.
As , however , Mr. West States that he
owned the house and had used it during
the year , the objection was overruled.
But the interest in the claimant did not
rest on the immediate cause of his ap
pearance in the Revision Court. Mr.
West is a remarkable person , apart
from Oxford altogether. It appears
that he enjoys the distinction of being
"one of the largest faggot-voters in
England. " Not only is he qualified to
vote in numerous constituencies but ho f
spends much time and money in exer
cising the privilege. It was admitted i . ?
that he had voted seventeen times at j ,
the last election , and then was obliged
to miss seven places in which he was
entitled to perform the same operation.
Altogether Mr. West owns no fewer
than twenty-four votes. Indeed , he
claims to be represented in the House
of Commons by as many as sixty-four
members of Parliament. Gross as this fy
abuse of the electoral franchise is , it 13
difficult to see how it can be avoided so
long as the suffrage is not residential. *
Let us hope , however , that the new Re
form bill will put an end to the pro- f %
cecdings of active and industrious gentlemen - F
tlemen like Mr. Washbourne West. i
Gen. Fremont in Poverty.
Chicago Herald.
Gen. Fremont is living on Staten Isl
and , and is very poor indeed , abso
lutely without income. There is some
talk among his friends of petitioning ;
congress to follow the precedent set in
the caeo of General Shields and place
General Fremont on the retired list of
the army with the rank of brigadier
general. Considering the old man's
distinguished services in the past , the
fact that he was the first banner-bearer
of the republican party and the addi
tional circumstance tnat hs is now pen
niless , it would be but a graceful act
for congress to pass favorably on the
petition. General Fremont is not a
money getter nor a money saver. On
the contrary he is as wild und visionary
in his ideas of money making as in days
gone by he was romantic and venture
some in the field ef exploration. Ho
was made governor of Arizona to pro
vide him with an income , but he caught '
the mining fever , resigned his post to
become a mine promoter and of course
failed. The government could make
the few remaining years of General
Fremont's life happy and 'content by
relieving bun of the pains of poverty
and the humiliation of accepting aid
.from friends , and it ought to.
The head truly enlightened will pres
ently have ft wonderful intluence in
purifying the heart , and the heart real
ly affected with goodness will much
conduce to the directing of the head.
