NEWMAN Halls DIVORcE
11te summing Up and the Belief That Bo.j.
Parties IRE Guiitu.

1"e Summing Up and the Belief That BotJ.
Parties Are Guilty.
Cable t. Cincinnati Enquirer.1
After the arrangements for the plaintiff
and defendant in tue action brought ty the
Rev. Newman Hall against his wife for adu,-
terry, the judge IN summing up analysed the
motives of the parties to the suit, and con-
mented at length upon the manner in which
they had been manifested in action. The
tendency of his remarks was to e1onerate
Hall from any improperly in desiring and
bringing suit for divorce from his wife.
who, as there was evidence to show, had
wronged him with the view of entering upop
q second marriage. In commenting upon tbs
w1fes reluctance to submit to the COZ iuyaI en-
brace he characterized it as one of the first and
most pronounced symptoms of an illicit at
tachment. It had moreover been assigned
and sworn to by witnesses. that Hall had
treated his vito with tender consideration.
The judge then passed under review the Law
affecting adultery and the legal evidence,
showing Enthusiastically its commission.
he said that the offense was one rarely sue-
ceptible of direct proof, and that opportuni-
ties, both of place and time, had generally
been admitted as proper circumstances to
guide the verdict of the jury. The jury
must, however, consider all that had beer
offered in evidence as to any peculiar struct-
ural formation of the defendant, but must
discard any unsupported insinuations Of
counsel. The jury must also beware of in
perfect psychological arguments as to the
individuality of husband and her
prediction, under singular influences,
forthe companionship of another with

Richardson, the stable-keeper, was shown to
have been man unfit in more respects than
one for association upon intimate terms with
Mrs. Hall. The change was felt to be
strangely in favor of the plaintiff, and a
verdict was given in his favor. Mr.. Hall is
therefore released and can select another
affinity to whom the general opinion is that
he has for some time owed the reparation Of
marriage. His influence is universally be
lieved to be at an end, and whether his wife
be guilty or not, nobody believes that he
himself is free from sin. The comments OF
those newspapers which support the verdict
do not fairly represent the general curren
of opinion, and even Halls friends blame
him for what they call extraordinary len
iency. Hall is man of some influence.
and his wife, now divorced, of course. has
none.

FAS ING FORTY DAYS,

Young Woman IN Heading Giring Her
Friends Considerable Trouble.
PHILADELPHIA, Aug. ga Reading spe-
cialto tho Times says the strange fasting of
Miss Sarah Root, aged %, of that city, is
attracting unusual attention among the med
lcal fraternity. She is lady of excellent
character. Herself and sisters are respected
dressmakers. few years ago she dressed
in exceeding good taste, and always made a
very fashionable appearance. Suddenly she
became very devout a d pious. Her attend
ance at church was almost constant. She
became deeply interested in Sunday school
affairs, and, pto last 9TH of July was in good
health. She then discontinued eating, and
commenced long period of fasting. From
July to IL she ate but few berries. Then
she stopped eating altogether. On the 18th
of July DR.. Schumacher was called on.
Miss Root turned her back, and said she
was not in need of his professional services.
She perslstently refused to take nourish-
ment, and, throughout all the hot spell, she
drank no water at all. Finally she was
threatened tnat food would be administered
to her by force. She was growing pale,
thin and emaciated. Her former ROSY cheeks
had faded, the sparkle had left her eyes, and
she became moody, thoughtful and silent.
She became frightened at the doctors threats,
and, taking an ordinary cracker, she held it
under the hydrant and thoroughly washek
it. On the 18th of July she ate that cracked,
but took no other nourishment. DR.. Schmucr-
er undertook to convince her that it was her
religious duty to eat, and not kill herself:
that, instead of it being her religious
duty to fast, she was slowly committing the
great crime of suicide. She paid no atten-
ton to this. Basin after basin of water was
used in bathing her hands. She would con-
tinue this washing for a half hour. She has
been known to have spent five hours on her
knees reading the bible and praying. She
chad DREAM to fast forty days and forty
nights, the same as Chris: did in the wilder
ness. All efforts of mother and sister failed
to induce her to eat and drink. Finally DR..
Schumacher says he stopped calling on her
because he could do nothing for her. DR..
Martin Luther was next called in. Miss
Root was very weak. but still able to be about,
She persistently refused to eat or drink, and
her people thought she was dying. It was
finally resolved to resort to force in the
matter, and spoon was inserted in her
mouth between her teeth. Nothing could
be done, because she would not
swallow. When her nostrils were held shut
she breathed through the interstices of her
teeth, but would not swallow. Finally. DR..
Luther inserted silver tube through her
nostrlls and injected cruel and milk into the
gu'let, and thence to the stomach. Only a
small quantity was injected. The men,
branous lining of the stomach was greatly
intiamed and too much food administered
would have killed her instantly. The young
woman is now being kept alive by forcing
food through her nostrils into her stomach.
She is laboring under religious halluoina-

Geo. w. Leach, the young man who
had his arm shattered while firing a
salute at Unionville on the Fourth OF
July, was at last accounts getting along
as well as could be expected. His arm
was amputated between the wrist and
elbow by DIR. Rogman. Judge Hadley,
who was assisting in firing the gun, had
the end OF one OF hts thumbs blown off
by the premature discharge, which
shattered Leach's arm. He had his
thumb on the vent Of the gun, and
called Leach's attention to the fact
that he had not swabbed it out sufii-
GENTLY, just an instant before the ex-
piosion. The citizens raised consider
able money to defray the medical and
other expenses of young Leach.
