promise of marriage brought by
Miss Fabian against her faithless
lover. The news upset him cohsid-
erably for such scandal would set
al the papers gossiping about his
antecedents, while Tom could hardly
fail to cut a ridiculous figure in the
witness-boX. Old Mr.. Molyneux
soon arrived at the conclusion that
the action must be compromised at
any cost, for the sake of his own
dignity, not to mention the project
ed alliance with the Laburnums.
lie rushed up to town in quite
frantic state, and disre.arding the
advice and protestations of his solic-
itor, insisted that Miss Fabian's
claim should be settled forthwith at
any sacrifice, in order to avert the
danger of the affair finding its way
into the papers
He was successful in his main OBJ
ject; but rich us he was, he almost
groaned when he sat down to write
the check that Miss Fabian's advis-
ers demanded. The amount was
presented by no less than five fig
ures, and the worst of it was that he
got no sympathy whatever from his
solicitor, who declared that bv going
to trial, or even by holding out, he
might have saved the greater part of
the money.
In spite of his great relief that
the threatened scandal had been
averted, old Mr.. Molyneun soon be.
gan to regret the sacrifice he had
made, and to fret about his enor-
nous loss. He was not by any
means a penurious man, but, like
all parvenus, he keenly appreciated
the value of money. He did not
mind what he spent so long as he
had something to show for his out
lay; but in this instance the result
attainded was entirely negative.
Every one is inclined to underrate a
danger when it has passed, and Mr..
Molyneux could not help suspect
ing he had been too easily fright
ened. This uncomfortable refec-
ton worried him a good deal, par
ticularly when he learned that Lord
Labumum had made arrangements
to take his family to the south of
France for the winter. This did not
look as if his lordship was very an
Xious about his daughters marriage
with Tom, and old Mr.. Molyneux
was seized with an omnibus fore
body when he heard the news.
Tom returned after an absence of
three or four months, and was evil

the reception he would meet with.
He had received some angry letters
from his father, referring to the
damages he had to pay; and he

NOT GUILTY.

The Verdict In the Case of Lucille Yseu1t
Dudley, Who Shot O'Donovan Rossa-A
Speech to the Jury Showing that II She
is Mad There Is Much Method In Her
Madness.
NEW YORK, July notwithstanding
the remonstrances of her counsel. Mrs.
Dudley insisted on her right to address
the Jury under oath.
"Gentlemen OF the jury she said, ''I am
not insane; the doctors say have hOmi-
cidaI mania, but I can refute that; my act
was premeditated. I wish you to decide my
4 case by acquitting me on the ground that
my action was justifiable, or convict me. l
consider that was perfectly justified in
what l did I meant to kill O'DonoVan
Rosa. He is, by his own admission, cow
ardly murderer who shelters himself behind
the American flag, He told me that the
blowing up of buildings was perfectly right.
that he intended to blow up the House OF
Parliament and English vessels. and that
the lives of few women and children were
as nothing compared with the holy cause Of
Ireland. He was murderer, he had shown
himself to be one, and that is what deter
mined me to shoot him. If am insane, then
every man who stands up for his country Is
insane. Also, if am homicidal, it is queer that
never shot anybody before. have carried
a loaded pistol since was sixteen years OF
age. l gave O'Donovan as fair a trial as
a prisoner has ever had in your court. L
shot him and am willing to take the con-
SEQUENCES, l shall not appeal. knew CnaC
If l killed him L d hang for it. am glad now
that I did not kill him, because If had
done so the Irish would have considered
him martyr; but assassination has Ger,
tain honor. After the first shot he begged
for his life like craven coward. He was on
the ground, and l could not have missed
him. "For Gods sake do not kill me-" he
cried, and SO I RETAINED. He is dirty
cowardIy cur. found him guilty and shot
at him. This is all"
Mrs. Dudley spoke SO rapidly at times
that the court stenographer could not
keep up with her. Her manner of enun-
citation was amusingly intense, and at
times Judge, jury and audience We're all
laughing.
Assistant District Attorney Nlcoll asked
her if she had threatened the life of Dis
trict Attorney MARITIME.
"No," she replied, "but said he
ought to be killed for keeping me in
prison so long without trial"
GLOW about me?" asked Mr.. Nicoll.
''Oh you wouldn't be much of a loss to
the community if you did die" respond
ed Mrs. Dudley.
Mrs Dudley said that while in prison
she had been perfectly beWildered by
offers from managers who wanted her to
lecture.
sI answered them ALL" she added, s'by
saying that would consent only on con-
dition that O'Donovan should come with
me, and I would give a practical Illus
tratiou, aided by O'Donovan, of the eff
fects of dynamite on the human frame"
At the conclusion the jury retired, and
In five minutes returned verdict &C
quitting Mrs. Dudley on the ground of
insanity. A motion was then made to
send her to the State Lunatic Asylum,
which her counsel opposed, and asked
that she be permitted to return to her
native country and be placed in an in
stitution there. Judge Gildersleeve will
listen to arguments on the motion to-
morrow.

BustAe and Business in the Treasury De
partment Incident to the Opening of the
New Fiscal Year-The official Guillotne
at Work-The New Postal Arrange
ments.
WASHINGTON, D. c., July 1.-All was
hustle and business in the Treasury De-
partment yesterday. The Secretary did
not receive as many visitors as on Mon
day, but the crowd was correspondingly
great in the Appointment Clerks room.
There every one s overrun with work.
They are adjusting the machinery of the
department to fit the provisions of the
appropriation bill for the new fiscal year,
commencing tomorrow. This involves
a great deal of work, as the bill is quite
different from the last one, and involves
a general readjustment of the force with
differences of assignment and deSigna-
ton. 1t will take probably three or four
days to get things Strengthened out.
Under the provisions of the new
bill about twenty clerks were yesterday
dismissed from various bureaus; about
thirty clerks and officers, including Dep-
Commissioner Saunders, who year
ago was detailed to the navigation divi-
sion, were permanently appointed in that
bureau, and more than fifty transfers OF
clerks in various Offices were made. The
bureaus principally affected by these
changes are the Internal Revenue Depart
ment and the Registers office. Frank NJ.

WASHINGTON, d. c., July 1.-The APP
preparation bill, which contains much
legislation of a general nature, and which
goes into operation to-day, affects the
Post-office Department in several i'm
portant particulars. It increases the
weight of ordinary letters to be carried
for two cents from one-halt to one ounce,
provides for special letter delivery; gives
the first assistants office twelve adj
ditional clerks. appropriates $650,o00
for leasing third class Post
offices; gives $6l4,000 for fast
mail service in addition to the
usual sum for thatpurpose; increases the
appropriation for railway mail service
and star service, and provides for the re-
duction of newspaper postage from two
cents to one cent per pound. Because OF
this reduction and the two-cent letter
postage, an estimated deficiency of S5,-
900, 900 in postal revenues is anticipated
for the next fiscal year. The only inn
porIant change affecting the Interior De-
rartmanf is that rroyiSinn is made for
the trial of Indians for criminal offenses

has brought back the largest and most di-
verse collection of objects, illustrating
the home life, industrial and religious GUS

They are intended for exhibition at the

serve a very useful purpose to the Ma

with scientific institutions of the world
for other articles Of interest, which
can be obtained in no other way,
In addition 10 the articles in this cOllec-
ton, which amount to five carloads, and
consist of pottery, woolen fabrics, weap-
Ons and stone implements, photographs
and colored sketches were secured in
great number illustrating the dances,
altar scenes, games and burial customs
of the PueblOs. Many curious cave shrines
never before visited by white men were
explOred-pIaces to which for centuries
the Zunis have been in the habit Of max

mOny, to deposit idols, plumes, sticks and
skulls, and the bones of sacred animals.
