W. uINGToN, Dc5emhe. i9.--it was
very generally known in and around the
City Hall this morning that the wife oi
one Of tie jurors in the Guitcau ease had
died, some hours previously. and that,
consequently, there was little or no pro
liability Of the trial being proceeded with
to-day. Nevertheless, the crowd waiting
for the opening OF the doors was as large
as usual, and the court -room. soon after
the doors We're opened, was Tiled to over
flowing. Mr.. Williams, the depUty mar
shall, made an announcement, by author
ity of Judge Cox, that there would bn no
session Of tie court to day: that proba-
bly, the prisoner would not be brought in.
and that those who desired 10 leave the
room might do SO at once: bat the init
nation was not acted on and all the
spectators kept their places. Ni!cn the
jurors took their seats, there was enc
vacant chair i'll the jury box. 1t was near
/ clock when the court WAS formally
opened. and the prisoner was escorted to
his scat. Ills appearance WAS greatly
changed. though hardly improved by
having his iacc closely shaved Since last
Friday. Mr. Hobbs. thc u"rcavcd juror.

Cox took his seat, and had a whispered
conversation with the Judge. followed by
i consultation between the udGt'
aud the District Attorney. SuhH2IGert-

propvjlte terms referred to the calamity
which had fallen Oh the juror. and said
that the Instincts of humanity required
that the .i"r"r be allowed an opportunjtE
~ paying proper respect TO the memory
eli his deceased wife. lie therefore i.r'-
posed. with the assent OF til" prisoner
and his counsel. tat NJ. Hobbs he per
mitted to go home.
Mr.. Scuviilc expressed his fuii consent
to the proposition, and suggested that the
Juror shall not even he urcuMA crcd by
the presence If IL baliil. Vt the same
time he asked ,he court to almon,sh all
t-thc Jurors not have any communication
: OF conversation with outside PERSONS il

Judge Cox said that the halinS il

A COnyict's Remarkable Sentence.
Syracuse Courier.

A Frenchman in Auburn prison a
few days ago concluded term of four
years, but he still remains in the insti-
tu.ion. He was sentenced from New
York for selling obscene literature.
His sentence was -four years impris-
onment in state prison at hard labor
and fine of 5000; and in the event
of the fine not being paid at the expir-
alton Of the term of imprisonment, the
prisoner to serve day for every dol
lar until the fine was paid. The French
man is professor of languages. He is
an accomplished man, about forty-five
years old, and fine looking. The pro-
fessor was elated at the prospect of be-
ing released. when his term was up.
Gov. Cornell had been asked to inter-
cede in his behalf, and favorable
answer was expected. The governor,
however, sent to New York for the cir
substances of the case aid the evi-
dence at the trial, and returned word
that he could see no reason why the
letter of the law should not be carried
out; and consequen ly the professor is
now serving out his six thousand days
seventeen years-at the rate of
a dollar q day. When the professor
heard of the decision of the governor,
he was greatly dispirited, and his only
hope now lies in q yearning wish that
his friends will pay the fine which keeps
him behind the stone walls of Auburn
prison.
