o'Leary Gets Eorty Years.

CHICAGO, Jan. IA great crowd
streamed into Judge Shepard's court this
morning TO hear sentence passed upon Cor
nelius, alias ''Puggy'' O'Leary, the brutal
murderer of his mistress and his sister.
The prisoner, accompanied by two bailiffs,
walked into the courtroom with firm step.
AS he glanced about over the crowds OF
spectators he did not finch. and took his
seat in quiet manner. Among those pres
ent to listen 10 the prisoners fate were his
father, mother and sister. who took lively
interest in the proceedings. The sentenc-
ing of the prisoner took but short time.
In the first place Judge Shepard reviewed
the circumstances of the crime as given BY
the witnesses. He remarked that in his
opinion O'Leary's crime was murder.
though he was indicted for both murder
and manslaughter. He had killed his vic
tins without much pr0vocation, but owing
TO his drunken condition at the time of the
murder the court was inclined TO believe
that the crime did not warrant him in pro-
nouncing the extreme penalty. The court
then sentenced him to forty years, which
will be reduced to twenty years on good be-
havior.

Ore FamiIy,s Fatalities.

DETROIT, Jan. Mrs. Elizabeth Knoch
the mother of Frank Knoch, who was
murdered in Spring Wells on the night Of
Dec. Is. with his entire family, and the
house burned to hide the crime, died Friday
night under circumstances which suggested
poisoning. A post mortem examination
was held to-day. when TO the surprise Of
the physicians it was found that her skull
was found TO be fractured by heavy blow
which had left no mark. 1t was suspected
that she and son, Gustave, had some con-
nection with the former murder, and the
officers had been expecting an ante-mortem
statement from the mother, who had been
confined at home with nervous prostration,
il is said, ever since she was on
the stand at the inquest of the victims
of the late tragedy. This is the fourth
suspicious death in this family.
The father, Christian, was found dead in
the barn some years ago. with cuts on his
head, said then TO have been made by the
kick of a horse. A brother, Charles, dis,
appeared two years ago this winter and his
body was found in the river next spring
with marks of violence and a chain about
his body from an unused pump on the
Knoch homestead, and last month another
son, Frank, was killed with his wife and
two babes and the house burned with the
dead bodies in it. Suspicion has turned to
Gustave, and it is now strengthed by the
murder of the mother, though as yet no
connecting evidence has been discovered.
Another brother, Herman, is a half witted
fellow, who has been once confined In an
insane asylum, and an uncle, Joe, has been
for years mild lunatic, though be has never
been considered dangerous.

few war governors of distinction who re-

most brilliant young Wing campaigners in
Pennsylvania forty years ago, and was the
candidate of the Republican party for gov
ernor in 1860. His campaign involved the
election or defeat of Lincoln. as Pennsylya-
MIA was then an October state, and the piv-
oJal state of the Union. He was elected
by over SO, 600, and Lincoln was thus

1869 Curtin was sent as minister to Prussia

if he would consent TO stay
abroad. 1t was understood that
he meant TO break against the
Grant power and every effort was made to
conciliate him, but without success. He
came home, was nominated by the Liberals
as delegate at large for the constitutional
convention, was afterwards accepted by the
Democrats, ex-Gov. Bigler retiring from
the ticket to open the way to Curtin's NOM
nation, and he was of course elected. In
1875 he publicly supported the Democratic
state ticket and in 1878 was the Democratic
candidate for congress, but was defeated by
the Republicans and Greenbackers. In
1880, -'S2-'s4 he was elected to congress,
where he is now central figure on the
Democratic side.

AnInsnne AsxInm Rnrned.

NEWARK, n. j., Jan. 2.-Shortly after
8 o'clock this afternoon fire was discovered
in the essterly front wing of the insane
asylum, which is situated about two miles
from the center of the city. The flames
shot up the chute to the attic. and in a few
minutes it was seething mass of flames.
The wing was 600 feet long, and as the
interior fittings were of oiled pine they ig-
nited very readily and burned tiercely. In
this wing were 103 patients. The medical
superintendent at once summoned his staff
and in a few minutes all of the unfOrtu-
mates were mustered into the yard without
accident. OF the patients taken out, thirty
two were women and seyenty-one men.
Very little difficulty was experienced in
controlling them. The entire fire depart
ment was summoned to the scene, but
could render little service, owing to scarcity
of water. The flames spread to the third
floor rapidly, and along the entire length
of the wing in both directions at the west
end. 1t was stopped bya bank wall twenty
two inches thick, which prevented its
spread to the center and other wings of the
institution. By hard work the fremen
kept the flames on the two floors, although
the lower floors were badly damaged by
water The total loss will probably
amount to SIS. 900, fully covered by insur-
ance. The patients were sent temporarily
to the city hospital, but this evening were
returned to the asylum, where arrange
ments had been made for their accommoda-
ton. The cause of the fire is unknown,
but is supposed to have originated from the
overheated steam pipes which surround the
chute in the basement which, like al the
rest of the interior fittings, was of the most
in1ammable material. The buildings and
co. nnr

DULUTH, Mimi, Jan. 2.-The news of
the disappearance of Columbus b. Chan
dler, which became generally known ON the
streets this forenoon, created a great senSa-
ton. as Mr. Chandler was so well known and
he has so many relatives among some of the
most prominent people here. Why Mr..
Chandler went away no one can tell Ii is
clear, however, that his mind is badly de-
ranged. His home was happy. and he had
no pecuniary troubles. He enjoyed the
esteem of friends and seemed one of those
stalwart men who are never discouraged
and never give a thought to suicide. MIR.
Chandler was at his home on Thursday
forenoon, and seemed to be in his ordinary
state of mind. He went out apparently TO
90 to Superior street. bat as he did not re-
turn, Mrs. Chandler became alarmed. Her
fears were increased by finding that he had
left his watch and pOcketboOk at home.
On searching further she found in his coat
letter, which read, in effect. as follows:
Where the pines sigh, there shall lie. Bury
me where you find me-
Mrs. Chandler sent word 10 her friends,
and at once steps were taken to search for
the missing man, but so far no trace of him
has been found. A search party was or
ganized to-day. and the woods adjacent TO
the city have been secured. but so far with
out any success. and no trace Of Mr.. Chan
dler can be found.

sank His Schooner.

BosToE, Jan. Capt. Gerreir OF the
schooner Racer, which was wrecked of
Portland Monday last, was brought to this
city under arrest from Gloucester this morn
ing. He was arraigned before United States
Commissioner Hallett on the charge OF
scuttling his vessel, and was held on 81, 600
Tor examination. 1t appears that the YES
sci had a very successful trip, having taken
so, 900 pounds of fish before she put into
Sydney. c. B., on her way home. AT this
point GerTeir took on board two female
passengers for Portland. The crew say
that the captain stopped at several ports OF
the way home and all hands had good
time generally. AT one of the ports, Gran
berry Isle near Grand Manin, it is claimed
by the crew that the entire cargo OF fish
was sold for cash by the captain. One of
the female passengers, Ida Williams, makes
Affidavit that she saw the captain
cut hole in the vessel with
hatchet, while the vessel
was lying in Portland harbor, and to over
hearing the captain refuse to permit his
wife to sail to Gloucester with him in the
schooner because of the probability Of her
sinking on the trip. One of the crew.
named George Stevens, it is said, overheard
the captains remarks about the schooner
sinking and went TO the captain, telling him
he must not run the vessel on the rocks. It
1t is also said that Gerreir was overheard to
say that the owner would rather have the
vessel sunk than not, as she was old and
the assurance on her would be satisfactory
to him. Shortly after the vessel sailed
from Portland. and when sixteen miles OFF
Cape Elizabeth il was discovered that she
was rapidly filling, and she was making
forty fathOms. the crew taking to the boats
and reaching land after suffering intensely
from exposure. 1t is asserted that the cap
tain has admitted that his affidavit. claim
ing that $4,000 pounds of fish went down
with the vessel, together with the money
received for portion of the cargo, is false.
and that her hold was clear when she sunk
The extreme penalty of the crime with
which he is charged is death.
