An Alleged bridegroom Repudiates His
Bride-The Wife of the Student Appar-
entity Not Good Enough to be the Wife oi

NEW YORK, October 27.-A special
from New Haven, Conn.,, says A strange
case, containing many elements OF un-
certainty, is that Of the recently reported
elopement of Miss Mamie Donnelly with
VIM. A. Mcdowell, of the Yale class OF
1884. Miss Mamie is handsome
brunette of twenty-three, and was EN-.
psoyed as cashier in a Photographic gall
lery here. Mcdowell is a distant rela-
tive of Henry Clay, and a nephew of
Major General Mcdonald. The rumor
created much talk in college, and some
OF the students telegraphed to Louisville
to have the rumor confirmed or denied.
Mcdowell at once telegraphed an ab-
solute denial to certain New Haven pa
pers and asked them to publish it. Soon
after young man calling himself J. A.
Atherton, of st. Louis, visited q local
editorial room and, acting professedly as
q friend of Mcdowell, asked that the
rumor OF the marriage be denied. At
first he professed willingness to
deny the marriage over his
own signature, aud then he came
again and wanted nothing said about the
matter. Miss Donnelty's relatives in
sisted that she had been married to Nc
Dowell and they had seen the marriage
certificate. Sunday story was pub.

that an unnamed "female friendn of Miss
Donnelly had told reporter that Miss
Donnelly and Mcdowell were not mar

Louis, where he is now in business, and
that Miss Donnelly visited him and de-
manded that he should marry her. He
refused to do so and stormy scene fol-
lowed. She then returned East Miss
Donnelly has not returned to New Haven

AN INSANE LOVER.

A Tennesseean Who Forced His Attentions
Upon an Unwilling Widow, Shot to Death
BY the Lady's Brother-in-Law.
NASHVILLE, TENN, October 2S.-Infor-
nation has just been received that DR..
Jno. o. Smith killed T. A. Roder in
Dover, Stewart County, by shooting him
three times with pistol. Roder was at
tempting to force an entrance into the
residence of Smith for the purpose of
interviewing Mrs. Sallie Smith the
widowed sister-in-law of Smith, when
he was fired upon. Roder was insanely
infatuated with Mrs. Smith, but was re-
garded by her with posive adherence. He
had often sought to thrust himself into the
lady's presence, and on one occasion
with such force that he was brought
within the pale OF the criminal law.
Nothing, however, resulted from the
threatened prosecution. Despite the re-
pugnance which Mrs. Smith manifested
for him, iRoder had for years shadowed
her, and endeavored by every pretext to
win her favor. He has called upon her at
her home and been SO boisteroua
that the frightened lady escaped
through a side window. She came to
this city on one occasion in order to
avoid him, but he followed her, and
actually forced his way into the midst OF
the family whom she was visiting. The
sight of her insane lover SO wrought
upon the nerves of the lady that she was
thrown into convulsions. She managed
to elude him and return to Dover. He
soon discovered that he had been out
witted and followed her.
1t is supposed that DR.. Smith acted
upon the theory that patience had ceased
to be virtue, and that duty to his broth.

THE OHIO ELECTION.

Legal Proceedings to Determine Who Were
Properly Elected Senators From HamiI-
ton Counsy-Judge BuohwalIer's Decision
Adverse to the Dissolution of the Re-
straining Order On the County Clerk.
CINCINNATI, o., October 27.-Judge
Buchwaiter's little lcourt-room was
crowded to its utmost capacity yester-
day morning by attorneys, candidates
and citizens interested in the result Of
the legal proceedings before him in con.
nection with the delivery of certificates
of election to the four candidates for
Senator from Hamilton County. The
matter had been argued and submitted
to him on demurrer and on motion
to dissolve restraining order hereto
fore issued by him in favor of the four
Republican candidates on their petition.
He rendered his decision at considerable
length, holding as to the demurrer:
l. That there was no misioinder oil
parties; that the four candidates could
sue together or separately.
g. The court had jurisdiction, not to
declare who should hold the office, for
that was clearly the province OF the Leg
islature upon a. contest; but to declare
who was entitled to certificate, for that
was personal right separate to the title
of office.
He held 1t was not necessary, in order
to obtain the aid of the court to prevent
irreparably injury, to do more than make
out prima facie case. While in this
case the averments of facts In the petit
tion were insufficient, yet the plaintiffs
weie entitled to amend on that particu-
lar, II necessary, and in any case they
were entitled to an order to stay the
hand of the Clerk until the merits OF the
case could be determined in another
court. The injunction was therefore
continued in force, and the mandamus
case, involving the same points, was
taken up by the Circuit Court.
CINCINNATI, O., October 27.-The
mandamus cases of the Republican can
didates for Senator and for the Common
Pleas Judgeship were up before the Cir
cult Court yesterday morning. Judges
Cox, Smith and Swing, the full bench,
assumed charge of these cases. The
bench is unanimously Republican.

was agreed that the petition of the four
Senators asking for mandamus should be
consolidated. Mr.. Jordan then announced
that he would file an answer in abate-
ment, setting up the fact that the court
had no Jurisdiction, the Common Pleas
Court having assumed full Jurisdiction in
the matter
