The HoneymOOners.

They needed not the wintry skies,
For, summed In one another's eyes,
They deemed IL summer weather.
No storm obscured their radiant glee;
Nor would they, II they could, be freej
They felt that all felicity
Dwelt In ono word-'"fogether."
That witching word-"rogethor."
And so, the lovers, newly wed,
Through groves Arcadian swiftly sped
With spirits like feathers
SO danced on down the hours away
The rosy hours OF Loves sweet day,
All, OF Joyous, bright and gay,
Was In that word-"rogether.
That witching word-"rogether.
All mel What change fruition bringsl
Time few on disenchantlng wings,
Aud wrought an awful wonder!
Tho honeymooners now agree
Alone In longing TO be free;
They doem that all felicity
Dwells In one eword-"Asunder."
That Witching word-"Asunder."
When bright the summer sunboams dart,
They still have winter In the heart,
or only summers thunder.
What words can picture their di9tresst
What metaphor their grief expressp
They feel there 10 no happiness
But In one word-"Asunder."
That witching word-"Asunder."

Brave Girl.

Wheeling, w. Va, January o.
Shortly after 6 O'Clock this evening
Tailor w. s. Colby went into the main
corridor of the Belmont county jail, st.
Clairsville, Ohio, to inspect the cells
before locking up for the night. One
Of the prisoners locked in a cell asked
for a drink of water, and as the jailor
handed it to BIN several prisoners
caught his arms and held him while one
prisoner, Cass, took his revolvers. They
all then began beating Colby, knocking
him down and kicking him brutally.
A small boy confined in a cell raised an
alarm, when Cass threatened to shoot
him. He bid in a corner under his bed
and kept up yelling, which attracted
the attention of a domestic in the
j%ailor's family, and she closed and
locked the outer door.
The prisoners then climbed through
the skylight upon the roof, but the girl
had given the alarm and the citizens
had gathered. Promiscuous firing was
begun at the prisoners and they re
treated into the jail and were secured
in their cells.
Colby was found lying in the CORR
dor insensible and with serious wounds
on his person from the kicking he haC
received. He was revived, but the ex
tent of his injuries Is not yet known.

Vienna, January 22.-In addition to
the previous confession of having muir
dered four girls and having planned
five more murders for last week,
Schenck c~onfesses that he intended to
murder all the family of the Baroness
Malenatti, together with her maid. 1t
seems that Schenck induced the maid
to steal some pearls, valued at 1000,
which the emperor of Austria presented
to DIR. Malenatti for attending to the
Duke of Rochstadt, a son of the en-
peror, Napoleon l., in his last illness.
The maid had prepared everything for
the reception of Schenck and his &C

bills relative to the forfeited land grants
reported from the committee on Judi
ciary, for the purpose of enabling the

erence.
Cobb moved its reference to the COM
mittee on public lands.
Poland argued hat the committee
on Judiciary was the proper one to be

subsequent lands could only be for
feited by judicial proceedings, there
fore the whole question resolved itself
into a judicial one.
Cobb claimed that the public lands
had jurisdiction, and, in

day, he had no doubt what reference
the bills would be given. Cobb's mo-
ton was agreed TOLL to 80.

Bad for the 0mcIaIs.

Richmond, January 22.-In the
senate to-day a letter was presented
from a farmer employed at the peni-

against the p%enitentiary officials, show
ing that from neglectful and careless
treatment Of sick conyicts, several OF
them have died. Among the cases
mentioned is that Of an Italian serving

came i'll last summer from eating under
cooked peas. Owing to his writings
the doctor said he was insane, and or

James Mutt Acquitted of What
Was Not a Crime.
of Joy From a
Vast Crowd of People.
Who is Responsible for the
Loss of 81 Lives?
A Righteous Verdict.

Pittsburg, January '22.-At 10 thi,
morning the jury In the Mutt trial re-
turned with a verdict of not guilty on
account of insanity at the time the act
was committed.
As early as 7 O'Clock the entrances
to the court house were besieged by a
crowd far exceeding in numbers the
attendance of any day since the trial
began. Promptly at $50 O'Clock court
opened and the prisoner was escorted
TO his seat. His c~ountenance wore a
look OF most profound anxiety, now
changing to n of confidence as words
Oh encouragement were whispered in
MS ear; again putting on an air of de-
spondency, as he thought the jury
might find him guilty. The muscles of
MS face twitched nervously and other
movements indicated that his mind
was Ill at ease. To his counsel he stated
that he had slept only two hours last
night.
The curiosity of the audience was in
tense, and at every rustic or commo-
ton at the door there would be a turn
ing Of heads and stretching of necks.
The jury 1led in at 9:57 a. m., and as
they seated themselves the silence was
oppressive. After the usual questions
the prisoner was ordered to stand p
but was so weak that he had to be as
sisted to his feet. The foreman then
announced the verdict. and the crowd,
which with difficulty was restrained
during the day, gave vent to their ap-
proval in a loud cheer, which the i'm
mense crowd outside took up and an
swered back, and another cheer went
up from those inside. Finally order
restored, and the prisoner was re-
handed to jail until tomorrow, when
he will LIE examined by u committee as
to his r-esent mental condition
Mrs. Mutt and Lizzie were lot pres
ent. They remained at the residence
Of Major Brown. where the glad tidings
was quickly conveyed to them. Con-
gratulatory dispatches are pouring in
from all points.
The hearing as to the mental condi-
tion of Mutt will take place at 9 a m.
tomorrow. Several e1per Is will be ex-
amined, and his counsels express them
selves as confident that he will be
released. The hearing is necessary to
satisfy the court that he is a proper
person to be at large. The law on the
subject is very clear and provides that
when u person is acquitted of any Of
fence, by reason of insanity, the jury
should so declare. The court shall
have power to order him to be
kept in strict custody so long as such
person shall be of unsound mind.
