DISTRICT COURT.

The pannelling OF the jury IN the McClin-
took case was completed yesterday forenoon,
and i. stood as follows: Samuel Maxwell,
James Antrim, ". J. Adams J. +. Poe, II.
A. Carr, John Gopher, l. " Dean, Levi
Roach, n. r Blackburn, ". D. Wocdtender,
| J. c. VauGIeason, u NJ Bruce.
After statement Of the case BIZ the prose
ined, Mrs. Sheldon, mother OF the defend
ant, was first called She gave statement
of the married life OF the couple and of the
affair before and at the time OF the killing.
She was followed by Dr.. Furley, James Nc
Kennon, Jas S. Mcpherson, Mary McPher-
son, ". P. Lowry, Cynthia Fitzgerald, and,
lastly, Z. Z. Sheldon, father OF the dead
| girl.
After short recess the defense was stated
| By Mr.. Campbell. He said they expected TO
show that the defendant was the subject Of
continued misfortpnes that led to an insani-
| ty, and made him as innocent of any crime
as a new born babe. Insanity, they expected
to prove, was disease, and not moral con-
dition OF an individual The defendant, as u
boy, was weak, feeble and erring; at one
time he fell while playing with his brother,
was carried home for dead, and for long
time lay in IA unconscious condition. At
another time while skating he became SO
badly frightened that he went into q fever
from which there wns little hopes of his re-
covery. At the age of nine he was
discovered to be a victim of pernicious habit
that shattered his constitution, made him
melancholy and wrecked his intellect 1t
the age OF seventeen he was talking of com
uniting suicide, They expected too, to prove
by good medical authority @ man may be
perfectly rational on all bus one point, and
yet be insane. The IA rher had no knowledge
of the marriage until few days before the
ceremony was to take place, that he then
tried to d,ssuade his son from such an act
That there was & predispcsition TO insanity
in the family, his brother being insane, and
was with several of his other relations in tho
asylum. That he found III the supposed I'M
faithfulness Of his wife to him an aggrava-
ton to commit the deed; that her irnp-u-
dencs before the fatal tragedy completely
unsettled his mind. That his attestati1a o.
having no intention to carry out her proph
etc dream on the night before her death,
shows the acs was not presneiitated While
tbsy do nosdeny TIE killing, they deny that
it was murder
Court was then adjourned until this morn
in:, when the evidence FOR tie defence will
be introduced

SUSPENDED ANIMATION.
Narrow Escape of an Ohio Woman from a
Horrible Death.

WELLsvILLE, o., Feb. ia remarkable
instance of suspended animation, with mar
row escape from horrible DEATH occurred
few days ago at Jethro. a hamlet on the east
ern outskirts of this place, the particulars of
which were disclosed yesterday. Two weeks
ago Mrs. Raymond, of that place, while Wis
iting her daughter at Allegheny City, was
stricken with what was supposed to be par
alysis. After week of intense suffering she
improved sufficiently to allow of her re-
moval to her home at Jethro. The day after
arriving she was taken with a relapse, and
continued to grow worse until last Wednes-
day, when she died. as was supposed, the doc
tor having pronounced life extinct
Friends and relatives of the family were no.
titled by telegraph Of the demise the SER
vices of an undertaken were secured; the body
was prepared for burial, wrapped in a
shroud, and placed in the parlor to await the
arrival of the coffin. A friend of the wo-
man, who had arrived from a distance, had
occasion to enter the room where Mrs. Ray
mond had been laid out, and approaching
the body thought she discovered traces of
animation in the lifeless form. She made
more critical examination and discovered
unmistakable evidences Of vitality. The
muscles of the face and eyelids occasionally
twltched, the eyes partially opened, and
faint respiration was noticed. The woman
instantly gave the alarm, and the room was
soon filled with friends, who discovered the
same indications of returning life. Physi-
clans were at once summoned, and every
known restorative applied in the hope of say.
ing her life. After three hours of ofvigoIous and
unremitting attention-hours that seemed
interminably long to the family-the life
less form was restored TO consciousness. She
slowly and languidly opened her eyes in per-
feet amaZement curiously surveyed her sur
roundings, and in a few minutes feebly asked
in scarcely audible voice the cause for the
unusual commotion, and inquired how she
came in possession of the unique garb in
which she was clothed. The situation was
explained to her, when she replied that
while in her comatose state she imagined she
had fallen into a deep, refreshing sleep. Mrs.
Raymond is improving slowly, with fair
chances for recovery. Her escape from the
horrible fate of being buried alive was very
narrow. She had been in a state of insensi-
bility for two days, the body was cold and
clsmmy, and respiration had to all appear
ances ceased entire. In few hours more the
warnan would undoubtedly have been buried.

decision is still further aggravated by hint
that the lady is insane. IL she is sane enough
TO condemn herself, she is certainly sane
enough TO crimiDate the correspondent.
Much comment has been caused by Attorney
General Russells allusion to the alleged de
baucheries and ind;Scretious common to men
in Sir Charles Dilkes position.
A German lady observed at dinner that
liberty of speech in England was robbing
the shops of their respectability, and the
reading Of foibles was becoming as binding
on tie masses as the perusal OF the hymn
book. A caustic Frenchman points out with
derision the moral, that if two negatives
make an affirmative two mistresses must
make marriage Sir Charles marriage fol-
lowed the Crawford disclosures.
The Pail Mall Gazette denounces the Daily
News and Telegraph for their attempts to
whitewash Sir Charles Dixie after the scan
dals revealed against him in the Crawford
divorce suit. The Gazette says that Sir
Charles eyaded denying on oath the appall-
ing charges made against him, and declares
that in view of this and the Courts conduct
in ignoring these charges, I'VE must revise
the axiom, The law is no respecter OF per-
sons"
"Sir Charles Dilkes friends" continues
the Gazette, expected better things OF him,
and his foes could have wished for nothing
worse"
The st. James Gazette, commenting on the
same topic, says that the judges decision in
the case amounts TO the declaration that the
stories told against Sir Charles by Mrs. Craw-
ford were true.

The Dorsey Kind

Special TO ,he SenbAel
WAsHINGIoN, = 90. IA notice a number
of very virtuous Republican editors in Indi-
ana are growing somewhat excited about
some Democrats who have been appointed
TO Office without certificate of good moral
character from hypocritical, seducing Re-
publicans. For the beneit of this class
of alleged moral people they will please
notice one James w. Donahue, who was
appointed to a position in the Pension Office
by that immaculate patriot and spotless Re-
publican, Bill Dudley, when the latter was
the boss of the Pension bureau, which he
run exclusively for political proposes and in
the interest of the grand thieving old Repub-
lican party.
Donahue whose name pollutes the virgin
paper upon which it is written, was indicted
for conspiracy in attempting to rob the Gov
eminent, along with that very honest CHI
zen, Mr.. Dorsey. From the records of the
Criminal Court i find the number
and in the same list of able
Republicans whose names shine resplendent
as patriots and defenders of the Republics
honor, are X. NJ. Armstrong, VIM. w. Jack
son, Albert f. Boone and Samuel c. Cabell.
Donahue is now in the Pension Department,
but since the present Administration has
come into power he has sought to make be-
lieve that he is the poorest of the poor. He
has been connected with the Government
service here for a number of years, but when
be made such splendid.showing as Repub-
lican rascal by being indicted for conspiracy
about the time Dorsey and others were, he
was then given a much higher and more
lucrative position by Mr.. Dudley as a reward
for his services in his alleged attempt to
steal something.
Commissioner Black of the Pension De-
partment may not know of the very spotless
record of the illustrious Donahue, but he
will when this is printed, and he will be
made to go and his place filled by some
honest Democrat.
The departments are crowded with some
of the grandest Republican jobbers, bum
mers and political highwaymen that ever
went unhung. Mr.. Donahue will please
pack his trunk, his services ARE no longer
wanted. Do you hear?

ROMAN GOSSIP.
The Wife of an Italian Prince ImpIores the
Pope to Annul Her Marriage.

ROME, Feb. 14.-Roman gossip is full of a
princely scandal which is making sensation
at the Vatican and Quirinal. The Princess
Gonzaga, the young and fascinating wife of
Prince Ferrante Gonzaga, has implored the
Pope to annul her marriage. Her husband.
it seems has not treated her well. Indeed,
if rumors are true, the honeymoon was
hardly over when he began to neglect his
spouse. Neglect was followed by violence,
and one day the Princess, tired of matrI-
mony, packed up few clothes and jewels
in vallse and left her palace with her maid
She fed to Vienna, where she soon became
one of the bellies of the Austrian Court. The
Prince, taking things philosophically, sought
comfort in farming his estate. public
scandal might have been averted had not
the fair runaway fallen in love with an
Austrian Archduke, whom she hopes TO we'd
if the Vatican will help her. The Princess
bases her appeal on an alleged irregulArity
in the marriage ceremony, but IT is whis-
pered she has other arguments in reserve il
this fails.

The Tariff Bill.
Special 10 the Sentinel.

Special 10 the Sentinel.
WAsHINGToN, Feb. 15.-Mr. Morrison to-
day introduced, in the House of Representa-
tiyes, his famous tariff bill, or rather the one
that has been patched up by him and the
Committee on Ways and Means. 1t reduces
the revenue about $50, 100000 in the aggre-
gate. The reduction in pig iron is from
1912 to $3.50 per ton; steel and iron rails from
S17 per ton TO $3.50. A common duty of
2 $40 cents per pound is fixed on wools
Flax and hemp goods are slightly reduced,
and sugar is reduced 20 per cent, excepting
on the product of Cuba, where an export
duty is imposed. A majority of the Com
.mittee on Ways and Means has adopted a
resolution to drag the bill through without
permitting single amendment. There Is a
margin of ten Democrats against it allowed for
and a majority of twelve is calculated upon
in favor oft. There is more or less juggling in
the bill for wool for the purpose of catching
Ohio and Indiana. The bill apparently pro-
vides for an increase Of "a per cent. on wool,
bGt-wben it comes to figuring it out the way
ii is classified there is really decrease of 5
upr cent
