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. IP It is claimed that while cows giving ; exceptionally Inrge quantities of milk will sometimes make large butter tests , as a rule the two lhingsdo not go to gether , being inconsistent with each other. It is estimated that there is one sheep in the United States to every thirty-fonr acres of territory. In England the rate is one to one and a half acros. And yet we think this is a great sheep country.

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. Used to be One Himself , Arkansas Traveler.

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. m i a 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 ?

" "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.

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.

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. [ Sprat.
