DEATH OF JUDGE s. ".
 SHELDON.

Yesterday evening, shortly after the HERALD went to press, we were astonithed by the receipt of the in> telligence that Judge A. ". ShelN don had died suddenly in San Fran- cisco, whilhcr he had gone after the
 adjourpmcn of the Supreme Court at Prescott, for the treatment of an old wound. Judge Sheldon arrived in the Territory less than a year ago, and at once tegan the arduous duties of his office, where 6 great amount of litigation had accumu
 lated. During lis short stay among us he has proved to be man Of re-
 narkabIe business ability, and a man who in the presence of his high duty was q stranger to fear-even of cowboy assassination. During the fall term of the Graham County Court, in section of country over run by the cowboy element and where men are assassiHated for fun, he q, livered one of the most scath- ing rebukes to a corrupt jury that has probably ever been delivered to g body of men in that position any- where Under all circumstances h e has proved himself incorruptible and fearless. More such mea are needed among us.
 Judge A. w. Sheldon was a native of Ohio, born Tn 1842, and therefore abou; 42 years of age at the time of his death. He served in the army during the war, and since retiring from fl, has bcen a marked charac> ter in both journalism and the legal profession. His remains are in San Francisco, awaiting the order of his wife, who IS in the in the east.

, 1884-09-11

A DISPATCH from New York brings the
intelligence that the commission appointed
to pass upon the mental condition Of
William G.. Rhinelander has Adjudged
him insane.
The proceedings have attracted a great
deal of attention. The R~hineianler
family comes of what the aris.ocrntic
New Workers are pleased to call old stock.
They are descended from the sleepy old
Dutch burghers who originally peopled
Manhattan Island, and whose peculiar
manrers and custom and phleRmatic dis
position furnished such delicious opportu-
mites to Washington Irving, their subse-
quent historian. Blood, which in the
days Of Anthony Won Corlear and Peter
Stuyvetant, flowed sluggishly through the
honest burghers' veins in all its crimson
mAgni6cence has, in the veins Of their de
scendants, become indigo blue in color.
The Rhinelanden have advanced with
the times, and Of late years have been one
Of the most exclusive of New York fami-
lies. William c. Rhinelander was the
most unpretentious Of the lot and is said
TO have aroused much horror in the breast
Of family through his contempt for
blue blood and his democratic inclinations.
The elimination of his difficulties with his
family was his secret marriage to 4 girl.
Margaretta MEG uiness, who had been
employed as a seamstress by the Rhine
lAnders. His wife was regarded by his
mother and other members of the family
as much his inferior in social position.
and when the marriage vas discovered
strenuous efforts were made to break it.
The sum Of $40. 900 in cash and 5 5000 a
year were offered Mrs. Rhinelandor if she
would go to Europe and remain there,
but the proposition was rejected. The
family lawyer, Mr.. Drake, it is charged,
then threatened to put her husbandin a lu-
matte asylum. but with no better success.
Rhinelandcr claims that Drake continued
to persecute him, making every effort to
separate him from his wife, and that,
wrought up TO a pitch of desperation,
and, after having been TIM atened by
Drake, he shot him. The shooting oc-
CURED in New York last Fall, and for a
long time NJ Drake remained in L
critical condition, but finally recovered.
In the meantime, rs the fruit of the
marriage, Two children have been born,
one of them a hoy, in Baltimore, where
Mr.. and Mn. Khi4 under resided at one
time. One of the Ia . interesting fea-
lures in the case is tn let that by his
marriage Rhinelander forfeiteds 81 900, 900
which his grandfather had intended to
bequeath him.
Notwithstanding the finding Of the
commission many people will continue to
believe that Rhinelander is not insane,
but a victim Of persecution by relatives
with exaggerated notions of family pride.
