ALICE MITCHELL INSANE.
The Jury Brings in a Verdict That
sends Her to an Asylum.

The Jury Brings in a Verdict Th At
sends Her to an Asylum.
MEMPHIS, July 30.-A large crowd was
1t being announced that the judge
would deliver his charge to the jury in the
famous Alice Mitchell case, the murderess
of Freda Ward. The defendant appeared
calm and collected during the reading OF
the charge. The time occupied in its de-
livery was fifteen minutes. The question
of the sanity or insanity of the prisoner at
the time of the trial was the only question
considered. The jury retired at $50 O'clock
and at $50 o'clock filed into the court room
with the following verdict: eve, the jury,
find the defendant, Alice Mitchell, insane,
and believe it would endauger the safety OF
the community to set her at liberty. ii. u.
Galloway. foreman"
Alice was then remanded to the custody
Of the sheriff and will be ordered
placed in an insane asylum. Should
she be released as sane at any time,
she can be then placed on trial on
a charge OF murder, as she was only tried
as to her mental soundness or unsoundness
at the time OF her trial, the question as to
her mental condition at the time Of the
commission OF the homicide not being
touched upon during the trial now con-
clu0eQ. W n6n tne VerQlcG WeS ToaQ Dy Ine
clerk, faint smile spread over the defend
ants features. She had been confident Of
the jury's verdict throughout tho entire
trial. She was taken 10 jail, gayly CHATTING
as she went, and will be sent thence TO ono
of the state insane esylums
The large crowd in attendance during the
proceedings of the trial gathered at an early
hour to catch q last glance at Alise prior to
her incarceration in an insane asylum. She
will be taken to the asylum at Bolivar,
Monday or Tuesday, unless her friends pre-
fer Nashville. in which eveDt they will have
TO pay for her treatment there.
She showed no emotion Of any
kind at the verdict. When the jury was
discharged she adjusted her veil and walked
out OF the court with the same air Of in
difference as has characterized her through
out. The effect OF the verdict on Lille
johnson, who stands jointly indicted with
Alice Mitchell, will be doubtless to dismiss
all proceedings against her. 1t would
hardly be logical to present an indictment
against her as the accessory before tho
fact of an insane woman.

SESSION OF 1RE SENATE.
The Auti-Optionr I'd ssuTOver to the
Next Session. %,


Next Session.
WASHINGTON, July 3O.-The Senate
was in session to-day for only
three hours, but within that time
it accomplished some important re-
suits. The two principal events were the
postponement Of the anti-optiOnS bill till the
next session and the passage Of a Joint
resolution extending the appropriations for
branches of the public services included in
the sundry civil approximation bill (Which
still hangs fire in the House) up to and in
Guiding Wednesday next, Aug. 8. The
action OF the Senate in originating
a measure of this kind which has been al
ways regarded as within the exclusive
domain Of the House of REPRESENTATIVES
may be resented by that body when it meets
at IL o'clock On Monday, but Senator ALI
son, chairman Of the committee on appro-
prIatlons. preferred to run that risk rather
than the more serious risk OF having
the business or the government come TO a
stanostlll In the governmsnt printing Office,
light house service, bureau Of engraving
and printing, coast survey and all other
branches, included in the provisions OF the
sundry civil bill. As to the anti-options
Dli' Mr.. Washburn, recognizing
the impossibility Of having a
final vote upon It at TIE present session,
submitted gracefully to the inevitable aud
had the bill postponed till the next session,
when it will come up again in the advanta-
geous position which it has occupied for the
last two or three weeks as to unfinished
business" Some casual remarks having
been dropped in the discussions about tho
exodus OF senators from the capitol. and as
to the probability of there not being a uuo-
rum present next week, series of re-
monstrances against such a state of things
were made by Messrs. Allison and
Sherman, both Joining lin decla-
ration that congress would not
adjourn until the sundry civil ap-
preparation bill was disposed Of, and that
there could not be final adjournment
without quorum in each body. The SEN
ate adopted resolution on Mr.. Sherman's
motion instruoting the Vice President 10

a Passenger Rate War That Makes
Stockholders Weep.
MEMPHIS, July 3O.-The Memphis Pas
senger Association is on the verge of dis
ruption. The long threatened rate war
between the railroads centering here has
broken out at last and as a consequence east
bound passenger rates have gone all to
pieces. Hostihties, it Is claimed, wer5
precipltated by the Kansas City,
Memphis ana Birmingham railroad,
which kicked clear out OF the association,
and issued orders to its agents to sell tickets
TO eastern points at r0tes that bring joy
to the public and grief to
the stockholders. The trouble was cauged
by the rate war which has existed for some
time between Cincinnati and the east The
Louisville and Nashville and Chesapeake
ana Ohio were reaping a harvest BY selling
tickets to Cincinnati at full rates, while the
passengers would take advantage Of tue low
rates to eastern points. This took a great
deal Of business away from the Birming-
nam route and the Memphis and Charles
ton, which asked the association for per-
mission to meet the cuts. Their petitions
were refused, whereupon the Birmingham
route withdrew and made rates on its own
account. The Memphis and Charleston also
commenced cutting, and as result war
4as been declared. IL is understood that ths
louisville and Nashville and Chesapeake and
Ohlo viii also join in the fracas and make
rates still lower. The war, if it is not set
ueo at once, will spread to New Orleans
ana other points. The Illinois Central Is
aiso getting ready to enter the contest.

.-.o,,tv years The number Of deaths for
~. wealr lust past is 1,434, the heaviest
sirca July 6, 1876, when 1851 deaths were
,onorted for the week ending that day.
The prostrations from the heat among
.bo vorkmen OF the Williamsburg sugar
reaneries during the past week have ex-
,eeded 800. Only two of the large sugar
bouses are in full operation. The Have
MAYER establishments employs nearly ], 400
man. OF these more than 400, or nearly 33
,,ar cent have been carried out since Sun

The Brooklyn sugar refinery employs
.bout 45O men. OF these between seventy and
Saventy-dVe were compelled TO quit work
and have been replaced by new men, as
we're those in the Havemeyer sugar house.
The changes of temperature last night had
a good effect on the workmsn. At o'clock
last night, when the night shift OF man
went on, fifteen workmen we're carried out
of the two sugar houses. AT z o'clock this
morning but three men were seen who
seemed at ali affected. 1t is known that

nation regarding these cases is hard TO
obtain.
DEATHS WORK AT PHILADELPHIA.
PHILADELPHIA, July 3o.-The effects Of
the terrible heat Of the past week was
startlingly shown by the regular weekly
report made to the board Of health. From
10 o'clock last Saturday till noon to-day
Health o ficer Veale issued $40 death certifi-
Gates This is greater mortality than was
ever recorded by she office before. This
death rate is greater than when the cpl
denies OF the grip or even cholera, small
pox or diphteria scourged the city.
COOLER AT BALTIMORE.
BALTIMORE, July 30.-Ths weather to-
day has been about go cooler or the average
than yesterday but the deaths and prostra-
tions from heat to-day are nearly as numer-
GUS as those on any other day of this pro-
traoted hot spell. Mrs. Brown, wife OF
Gov. Brown. who was overcome by the
heat while shopping yesterday, and re-
ported to be dying last night, is still alive
and has fair prospect Of recovery. The
report of the city health commissioner for
the week ended at noon to-day gives the
following facts: Total number of deaths
for the week, 457; under years, 1894; from
sun stroke, 81; cholera intantum, SO; con-
Vulsions, Is. The number OF deaths for the
corresponding week of 1891 was 207, or $50
less than for the week just ended. The ex-
cess in mortality is attributed by the health
commissioner to the unparalleled heat here
there been 50 many deaths during the same
period Of time.

seen noon of the things charged against
members in Mr.. Watson's book.
Representative Turner Of Georgia testified
that at one night session he had seen q mem-
ber whom he thought was drunk. Mr.. Tur-
ner said the present House of Representa-
tives was as sober body Of men as he had
ever associated With.
Representative Bankhead of Alabama
testified that he had not seen any persons
reeling in the aisles, and had never seen on
the floor any speaker whom he suspected Of
being under the influence of liquor. The
witness knew of no facts 20 Justify the
charges made by Mr.. Watson, aud had
never seen a more temperate body than the
present House. In reply to question as to
whether he was able to state positively thet
he never reeled, Mr.. Bankhead said that
he would leave that to his colleagues.
CoBB's DISGRACE.
Mr.. Oates was the next witness. During
his testimony it developed that Representa-
tive Cobb of Alabama was the person who
had made the speech In the contested elec.
tton case, and who was the person charged
with intoxicatiou by Mr.. Watson. A long
colloquy eneued at this point before the
witness examination was proceeded with,
Messrs. Watson, Cobb and others taking
part therein. MIR. Watson said that it was
at the instance Of Mr.. Barley that he with
ucAu Luc UL A1E. OODD from tue COM
mittee. He had not by any statement
indicated that the gentleman from Ala
bama was included In the members against
whom charges were made any more than
was indicated In his (Mr. Watson's) book.
Some question having arisen as TO whether
it was proper to allow the name to remain
on record, inasmuch as no other names had
been given, Mr.. Cobb remarked that
whether his name was mentioned or not
yArN1x r., 49,
pealed to the committee 10 let the matter
proceed openly and asked the committee to
make a thorough, searching investigation,
saying that he (the witness) was not afraid
Of the result.
MR.. OATES DEFENDS COBB.
Mr. Oates was allowed to proceed with
his testimony. He started out to give his
knowledge of Mr. Cobb's habits for q long
time back but he was nor allowed to proceed
very far In this line before objection was
made to this testimony on the general
ground that it was outside the pale of the
resolution, which, It was contended, limited
the cOmmitte to an ascertRinment of the
facts as they occurred IN the House. Messrs.
Simpson and Watson were the objectors.
The objection was overruled, aud Mr..
Oates proceeding said that while Mr.
Cobb was speaking he appeared
greatly exhausted and some one
sent him something to drink, The stimu-
liant, he observed, had some effeos on Mr..
Cobb, enlivening his ngnner. The witness
declared, however, that Mr.. Cobb was not
drunk. He had known him for twenty
seven years and never knew him to be
drunk, although he took drink sometimes.
Mr.. Oates said he had not seen q member OF
this congress drunk, and had not seen more
than two or three cases OF members intoxi-
Gated during bis entire term here.
The committee then adjourned.
