ANNA DICkINsoN's MIND.
.Rumors That 1t Has Succumbed
to OverWork.

81 w ObCfWOEhs
= WLKEsBARRE, Pa, Feb. 26. = The
rllmor that Anna Dickinson's mind had
become deranged ami that friends had
found it necessary to remove her to the
Danville insane asylum created quite a
sensation here late this afternoon. The
gifted lady has resided for years with
her sister. Susan e. Dickinson, in the
quiet little village of West Pittson. For
some time past her health has been in a
precariOuS condition, and she has been
constantly under the eye of her physi-
clan, who treated her for insomnia. This
disease has been undermining her vital
ity for some time, and although she has
been carefully nurSed by her devoted
sister, no improvement was perceptible.
A consultation of physicians was held
yesterday, and it was decided that
change of scene and absolute quiet fur
nish the only hope for her complete re-
covery. Accordingly she was removed
quietly from her home this afternoon.
but where she has been taken is mys-
terry that her friends decline to unravel
They emphatically deny, however, that
she has been taken to an insane asylum,
or that her mind is unbalanced. Miss
Susan +. Dickinson in conversation to-
night said that her sister was simply
suffering from nervous exhaustion
brought on by an acute attack Of insOm-
mia, and that there was no truth what
ever i'll the story that she had lost her
mind.
II will publish a statement of the cir
cumstances in day or tw0,' said Miss
Dickinson, THAT will effectualIy refute
the idle rumorS that have panied US SO
much in the past few days." ssassss
Both ladies are exceedingly popular
here and their modest cottage in West
PittstOn was beSieged all day to-day
with friends anxiously inquiring the
facts in the case and offering their SYM
pathy. 1t is believed by Miss Dickin-
sons friends here that her prostration
is due to overwork. 1t is generally be-
lieved that the attack is only temporary
and that in short time she will have
completely recovered.
Susan Dickinson, in a formal state
ment, embodied the facts above given.

argued that no man who had the real in
terests OF society at heart could vote tor
the abolition of capital punishment.
Mr.. Knudson declared the bill in d.
rect contravention of the Mosaic law.
Mr.. Linnemann. having recited some
blood curdlng murders, wound up with
a strong denunciation of the bill.
Mr.. Furlong opposed the bill, elo-
quently explaining his views thereon.
lie believed that man who deliber-
ately planned the murder of another
should be hanged. 1t was projections

taxation of the law, he considered.
would assuredly tend to the increase OF
crime.
Mr.. Greer concurred in the stand
taken by the gentleman from Mower. .
Mr.. Gallagher was a supporter OF the
abolition OF capital punishment, be-
lieving that under the operation of the
wrongly executed. 1t was his belief
that Pete Barrett was wrongly exc
cuted.
Mr.. McAlliSter said capital punish
ment was simply vengeance.
Mr.. Stark asked the supporters of the
bill to produce something solid-statis7
ties OF anything-in itsIsupport. Sentir
ment ought not to carry weight upon
such an important question. .
Mr.. Walsh thought it was unadviSable
to bring the Bible into this question.
Mr.. Stockwell-I merely quoted from
the Bible because others had done so,
aud | merely wanted to show how the
Bible stood on this matter.
Mr.. Feig-The gentlemen from Hen
neDin did not quote from the Bible; he
simply read between the lines.
Applause greeted this happy remark
of the gentleman from Kandiyohi. Mr..
Stockwell wanted to reply, but he was
shut out by Mr.. Walsh in continuing
his speech. Mr.. Walsh said he was Op-
posed to this farcical argument about
Imprisonment for life. Such penalty
would not be proper preventative
against murder.
Mr.. Feig delivered very earnest
speech against the bill. 1t had been
said that the state of Michigan had not
been diSgraced with capital punish
ment law. Well, if such a law is dis
grace that state would soon be dis
graced. A bill had been introduced in
to the legislature of Michigan and al
most passed establishing capital pun
iShment in that state. This was a Suf-
ficient indication that imprisonment for
life was not sufficiently preventative of
murder.
Mr.. Gallagher and Mr.. Greer ex
changed pleasantries in the line of queS-
tons and answers, and MI. Stockwell
followed.
Mr.. Tucker considered that vigor-
Gus enforcement of life punishment
would be stronger deterrent to muir
derers than the infliction Of capital
punishment.
Mr.. Bjorge wound up the discussion in
support of his bill. Jurors were al
versed to infiicting capital punishment,
and for that reason large number OF
murderers went unpublished.
Mr.. Lomen gave an illustration as to
the working OF life Imprisonment how
a murderer secured his release after
four years. imprisonment upon the plea
that he was suffering from consump-
ton. and had but few years to live.
The man came out of prison, and at
once recuperated.

Mr.. Walsh, R. A., colleague of NJ.

pressed not the least surprise at Mr..
Bells speech, for Republicans were in
variably looking out after the interests
of corporations.
This raised the ire of Mr.. Feig, the

lican. He resented the statement of the
gentleman from Ramsey. He was a
Republican, but came there as repre-
sentative of the people, and not of any
corporation.
Mr.. Furlong followed with one of his
calm, able and smanlike utterances.
He did not look upon this bill as party
measure; it was measure drawn up in
the interests of the people. There was
nothing dangerous OF unreasonable in
its provisions, and he gave it his I'M
qualified support.
Several amendments were proposed,
but did not coincide with the opinion of
the majority, and ultimately the bill
