by W. j. Hunsaker for new trial of W. S.
Ciendenin, found guilty of shooting Judge

to commit murder, and who was sentenced
to fourteen years at San Quentin. Counsel
was granted time to prepare bill of ex-
ceptions for taking an appeal to the Su-
Weme Court.
Clendenin's defense was temporary in
sanity due TO hereditary taint. He shot
Pierce because the latter, after awarding
the Clendenin child TO its father when the
divorce was granted the pair, reversed his
decision and gave it to Mrs. Clencenin, be-
cause defendant disobeyed the order of the
Court by refusing to allow the child to

LONDON, January 31st.-A private letter
from Vienna states that the Emperor
is rapidly growing feebler He talks of an
immediate abdieation and of retiring to a
monastery. The terrible story that was at
first only whispered with the strictest in
functions as to secrecy is now in all its ag-
gravated details common property in the
Austrian capital.
All well-iBformed people now know that
the young, Baroness Niscera. with whom
the Crown Prince Rudolph was found
dead, was the Emperor illegitimate daugh-
ter. and that it was the shame with which
be was overwhelmed by the discovery that
drove the Prince 10 suicide. 1t is little
wonder that this tragedy, weighing upon
mental faculties already diseased, should
have driven the Empress to twice attempt
TO fake her life during her sojourn at Corfu,
as is reported.

We have been handed a copy of the

contains an account of the memorial
services for the late T. H Ferris, held
at Geneva, Neb. The Times says:
The news of his sudden death
seemed to throw our city into mourn
ing probably 10 one had so many
near and dear friends. He was a
young man of noble qualities. thor
ough Christian. His morals were
without blemish. He will not soon
be forgotten. He was not only one
of the foremost in society, but in
Trinity 2. E. church, Of which he was
a communicate, he was a loving
worker, and will be there missed the
most. He never passed by case of
want without lending helping hand,
even to the extent of all he had. Yes

vices in honor of their dead compan-
ion, in the NJ. Z. church in Geneva.

the most beautiful. His sword was
displayed above. Mrs. Keegan, his
aunt, Mr.. Frank Keegan, Mr.. and
Mrs. FitzsimOns, with two sons, from
Bruning, also Mr.. and Mrs. James of
Geneva, cousins of the deceased, were
among the mourners, besides many
intimate friends. Rev. Mr.. Fisher,
minister of the First Baptist church,
of Geneva, and chaplain of the lodge,
conducted the services. He had hoped
to have the help of the Rev. G. Z.
Brady, of Crete, but previous appoint
ments hindered. The sermon was a
grand eulogy on the character of the
deceased, but not an exaggerated one.
Many strangers expressed surprise at
the general mourning exhibited among
the citizens of our town, but it is gen
uine grief expressed for one whose
character was lovely one, and who
was beloved by all who knew him, and
by whom he will never be forgotten.
Would there were more like him. |
There will be memorial services held |
by his church as soon as Rev. C. I. |

Death of the Oldest Woman in Wis
cOnsin.

c0nSln.
Bridget Doody, of Mineral Point, the
Oldest person in Wisconsin, and prob
ably in the United States, died on Fri
day evening, January 9th, at the re-
markable age of 123 years. She lived
with her grandson, Robert Sharp, until
some months ago, when Mr.. Sharp with
his family removed to Pike, Wis.
Some six years ago, in order to verify
her age, a letter was written to the
parish where she was born, in county
Waterford, Ireland, and it was found
from the parish register that she was
baptized in the year 1867. She came
to Mineral Point about thirty-seven
years ago. She was then a very old
woman, and those who knew her say
that she did not appear to grow older,
but retained her physical strength to
a remarkable degree. She was able to
be about and attend to her household
duties until about three years ago;
since which time she gradually grew
feeble.
The funeral took place on Monday,
with services at st. Paul's church, of
which she was a devout and faithful
member. The pastor, Rev. J. O'Keefe,
spoke touchingly of her death, and of
her remarkable age and eventful life,
at its close by any of her
kindred.
