I, 4 man recently died in a. New York
leaving an estate OF scr, 900, and his will
is now being contested by thirty-nine
alleged heirs. 1t Is getting to be a rare
*hing for rich widower or bachelor to
die in New York, where from one to a
1alf-dozen women do not put in claims
o his property on the ground that some
ime or another they held the tender
relations Of wife to the deceased. Men
who enjoyed unblemished regulations,
and with good reasons, after death are
assailed with what would be likely to
blast their names forever, were it not
the Offering of ,erjurv and crime. "

A Fenian convicted OF Murder il
Dublin Makes n Sensational Speech

A Fenian convicted OF Murder in
Dublin Makes n Sensational Speech.
London Special, Goth: Dublin this A,orn-
ing was city of excitement over the unex-
pec'ed result of the second trial of Joseph
Poole for the murder or John Kenny. The
sensational scene in court waich follow ed
the conviction and sentence was fully re-
ported in extra editions Of the evening pa
pers, which were issued in rapid succession
and had very large sale among the thou.
sands OF excited people by whom the streets
were thronged. As the various details OF
the scene in co TT became known to the
crowd, being read aloud in many
cases to little groups oil
people who were unable to
read for themselves the excitement became
intense, aud p.any men and women sobhed
aloud and in other ways gave vent to their
emotion. When the prison van containing
the condemned man was driven from the
court house, it was quickly sd rounded and
follow ed to the doors of Klimain ham Jail by
a vast concourse of waiting people. If any
fears tor rescue had been entertained,
however, they were at once rende ed i'm.
practible by the strength of the mounted
guard which escorted the van, Q d the
demonstration of the crowd was confined to
lamentations The scene in the court room
during the at ernoon was intensely drama
tic. On hearing the verdict Poole turned
oeathly pale, but otherwise ap-
pared unmoved. When asked by Justice
Murphy if he he'd any. hing to say why SEN
tepce of death should not be passed upon
him, Poole was silent for moment. Then
rising to his full height, he began aspeecn
which had evidently been intended as set
Grafton. He spoke lou ]y ana steadily, and
the preathIess silence OF the crowded court
room, and 1t was evident that Justice Muir
ply, as well as all the others within reach
of his voice. were deeply affected. There
was not culver IN the prisoners voice
until his aged father, who was among the
81 ectators oegau to moan, son, Joe! Joe"
Pooe's vo.ce faltered then, but he

Poole shouted out ''Three cheers for the

The murder of John Kenny took place
on July A. 1882, in Seville Place, Dublin.
He was killed because he was suspected of

From the report of Gen. Merritt SUI
perintendent Of the West.Point military
academy. it appears that on the 1st of
September, 1883, there were at the &C.
ademy IS professors and commissioned
officers, and 31l cadets. There were 271
cadets at the same date Of the previous
year. There were no deaths during the
year among the cadets, officers or SOL
diers. The percentage Of sick to the COM
mand is one-ffth of one per cent. Dur
ing the year the usual practical instruc-
ton in the three arms of the service has
been given, with as good results as ever
obtained before. The discipline has
been good, and with the exception of a
very few cadets in each class, the MEM
beers of the corps are very attentive to
regulations. For the half year ending
MAY 31st, 1883. nearly one-half of the ca
diets had no dement's recorded agains:
them. Cadets have been held to strict
accountability for all violations of the
regulations, and uniform punishments
have been fixed for the more serious
neglects and unmilitary conduct.
