ESPECIAL To THE SENTINEL

New YORK, March IL.
The Atlantic Mail Steamship Com
panN'S steamers Moro Castle and
Columbia were sold at auction to-day,
by order of the United States District
Court. Both were purchased 10y W.
III. Slarbuck. 1t is rumOred that they
will soon be transferred to the old
company.
In Oyer and Terminer to-day, the
District Attorney moved for the trial
of Bleakly, for the murder of his
neice, Maud Merrill. Counsel asked
that it be postponed, saying the ac-
cu.ed insisted that he was sane,
while counsel considered him insane.
The Medical Commissioners will
probably consider Bleakly's sanity.
