 WATERFOWL, N. Y., May 27.-It seems probable that Cornelius Donnelly of this city, who was found by his wife yesterday after- noon with rope around his neck and in the last struggles of strangulation, did not intend to kill himself and only wanted to frightsn Mrs. Donnelly, to whom he had bsen married only about four months, into giving him pos session of her property, amounting to about $16, ,000. On Thursday he took up his razor rnd told her he would cut his throat, but was easily persuaded not to do so, and on Friday afternoon he pretended to try to hang himself in the manner in which he finally ended his life. The second attempt was ap- parently frustrated by his wife. Yesterday he tried it again, but his wife, believing him to be feigning, was not 50 prompt in rescuing him and when she did arrive he was past sav- ing. He took a clothes line. put 8 moose around his neck and, throwing the line over some clothes hooks on the wall, leaned for ward, holding the other end of the rope in his hands, with looking glass leaned against the window opposite 50 that he might the progress of events. He had @ good trade and his wife was dutiful in everything except the giving up of her money. About $100 was found in his pocket.

How many men given to heavy labor go through life with kind of hitch in the back bone caused by wrenching at some period in their younger days. Let us take heed from the following letter:

 "soms years ago, while loading sheep on the railroad I wrenched by back. was con-

The Yale CorporatIon-mr. sIeane.

A "Yale" writer in the New York Evening Post says: The graduates of Yale college are to be congratulated on having the oppor- tunity to elect into the corporation MT. Thomas O. Sloane of the class of 1868. MT. W. W. Farnam, whose term expires, is now the treasurer of the college, and as he pre- fers not to sit as member of the corpora tion his seat is left vacant. MT. Sloane, in compliance with the earnest wishes of many whose judgment is entitled to the highest re- spect has consented to be candidate for the place. He is 8 gentleman who is admirably fitted, by his culture and his business habits and experience, for the office. la addition to his personal qualifications, his friendship for the college has long been manifested in ways so munifcent, and at the same time so un- obtrusive, that the occasion now offered for public recognition of this gentleman's ser vices is specially welcome. His name will be always connected with the physical labo- ratory, which was built by himself and his brother. Not satifed with erecting this cost ly edi6ce, he has constantly contributed with great liberality for the support of the in- struction which is carried forward within its walls. 45 the chairman of the committee for the procuring of funds for a new gymna- si1m, he hf1 taken 8 leading part in this movement, 10th by his personal subscription and obtaining large gifts from others. These statements are far from exhausting the rec ord of his bene6cence to the college. It has been so quiet and free from ostentation that few beyond the circle of those who are inti- mately conversant with the affairs of the in- stitution have been aware of it. Were his merits and services as well known to the en- tire body of the alumni as they are familiar to the class just named, his call to place in the corporation would hardly fail to be al- most unanimous.
 MIR. PORTER RECEIVES STRONG SUPPORT.
 John Addison Porter, editor of the Hars- ford Evening Post, is receiving strong sup- port for an election as Fellow of the Yale corporation to succeed William w. Farnam. Mir. Porter is graduate of the academical department of Yale university, son of Prof. John A. Porter, in whose memory the uni- versity prize of that name was established, and grandson of Joseph F. Sheffield, founder of the Sheffield Scientific school. He has always been loyal and earnest friend of Yale. has raised money to help the college,

The Senatorial Contest.

There has never been any reason TO
doubt, from the beginning, that the
Senatorship would be settled by eau.
cue, says the Memphis Avalanche.
II has become an established Demo
cratic custom, and to attempt TO
break it would be ground enough for
questioning the quality OF the Democ-
racy OF the objector. 1t has all along
been conceded that Senator Harris
possessed greater strength than any
other candidate, almost majority OF
the Democratic votes, in fact, and
this being true, he had nothing to
gain by the adoption Of the two-thirds
rule. Nevertheless, it does not ap.
pear that his friends made any at
tempt to rest it, though it must have
been apparent to them that the chan
ces OF General Opponents were there
by materially increased. As matters
stand at present the prospects are
good for the prolonged struggle. Sen.
ator Harris will lead, and while Gen.
Atkins will have strong and COM
pact following, it is doubtful lift will
be powerful enough to take the lead,
and more than doubtful that he can
secure the necessary two-thirds. II
remains to be seen whether or not he
will be able to name the next Senator.
Bitter as the fight has heen the i'm.
preston is gaining ground that nei.
ther would permit dark horse to
carry off the plum, and that rather
than compromise upon a new man,
the weaker would give way. II tIis

The .bject Of their visit came out
yesterday, when Maj. Hart, Ex.Gov-
ernor Sheppard and R. W. Shand,
Esq, of this city, acting as the attor-
neys OF the holders Of certain town
ship bonds issued to aid the construct
ion OF TIE Three C's Railroad, and al
80 representing parties who had ad-
vaneed money on such bonds, fled a
petition for msndamus in the Su-
preme Court.
This petition is for mandamus re-
quiring Robtert w. Whitesides, chair
man of the board Of county commiss-
toner's of York county, to sign and at
test the certificate Of the completion
of the Three C's Railroad through
Broad River township, that the bonds
issued in aid Of the said railroad by
the said township, may be delivered
to the railroad company.
The bonds are at present in the Gus
tody Of the Boston Safe Deposit and

only be delivered to the representa-
tives Of the railroad company on the
presentation Of certificate OF its COM
pletion through the township, signed
by the engineer of the road and by
the chairman and clerk OF the board
Of the county commissioners OF York
county. This the chairman refuses to
do, taking the ground that it is un.
certain whether he would not be re-
miss in his duty to do SO, in conse-
quence of the Supreme Courts decis-
ion that the Act authorizing the
bonds was unconstitutional and the
bonds invalid, and, regarding the val
idating Act, passed by the Legisla-
ture, he wishes its effect in such a
case decided by the courts before he
acts.

cause why the petition should not be
granted, and the mandamus issued il

suit OF the whole matter can but be
