band to Disgrace.
NEW YORK, Feb. 3-Carlisle w. Harris,
the young student charged with having
poisoned his wife, Helen Potts, was lost
night found guilty of murder in the first
degree by jury of his peers. The case
has been one of the most sensational of its
KIND IN recent years, and has attracted
widespread interest. On Feb l, 1891,
Helen Potts, daughter of a wealthy rail
road contractor of Asbury Park, \. J.,
who was III attendance at fashionable
boarding school in this city, died after a
brief illness. The death at first was sup
posed to be due to natural causef, and
preparations proceeded for the funeral.
Admitted Giving Her Morphine.
Then, IN some manner, the name of Car
hsie Harris, of Asbury Park, who was
studying medicine in, this city, became
mixed with that of the dead girl. The
Whispers grew as time progressed until
hnally the authorities in this city took
cognizance OF the matter and an autopsy
was held on the body of the young lady
which resulted III the discovery that death
was due 10 morphine poisoning, Harris
was arrested and indicted, then the fact
leaked out that he and Miss Potts had been
clandestinely married He admitted hav-
ing prescribed morphine pills for his wife
for some affection which he claimed she
was afflicted with, but stated that the
doses We're not sufficiently large TO do her
harm.
Terrible Blow to His Mother.
About two weeks ago the case came to
trlal and has been progressing ever since.
Yesterday the summing up occupied most
of the day, and early last evening Recorder
Smith charged the jury. They went out
about $50 O'Clock and at 1915 returned
verdict OF murder in the first degree The
verdict was very unexpected TO the ac-
cused, and he broke down completely
when it was announced. His mother, who
has been constantly at his side during the
trial, was very much affected and created
scene. She fell back in her chair,
shrieking madly, Its Liza lie" 1t was

Among the nameless heroes, none are
more worthy of martyrdom than he who

it caught the unlucky horseman and

MADISON. Wis, Feb. 3.-The supreme
court Of Wisconsin yesterday formally
granted leave to have suit brought to test
the consitutionality of the apportionment
law passed at the late session of the legis-
lature. Arguments will be heard next
Tuesday. The suit is brought by the
Republicans who claim that the apportion-
ment DISTINGUISHES vast number of vot-
ers and doubly enfranchises 100000 more.
Chief Justice Coles Order.
After reciting that on Jan. Is S. W.
Pierce, district attorney of Adams county,
petitiOned for leave to commence an action
in the name Of the state to enjoin the sec
rotary Of state from calling elections OF
state senators or assemblymen in assembly
districts constituted by the apportionment
act of 1891 and that a similar petition was
presented on the same day by Leonard
Lottridge, citizen of La Crosse county,
the order of Chief Justice Cole says:
q
concern, and il this court has jurisdiction to
determine il the proposed action seems to be a
proper one in which 10 exercise the original
jurisdiction Of this court under the cOnstitu~
ton. 1t Is ordered, therefore. that leave be
granted the attorney general 20 bring such ac-
tion. Questions of jurisdiction are reserved
until the relation or complaint is filed. The
commencement of such action win necessarily
supersede the petitions of AIes-rs Pierce and
Lottridgc, VINO are at liberty, if so advised, to
withdraw their respective petitions and the pa .
pers accompanying the same.
What the Democrats May Do.
If the law should be declared unconsti-
tutional an extra session of the Legislature
will be at once convened by the governor
and a new law passed, or the Democrats
will bring suit to have the Republican
gerrymander OF 1885 declared void The
court reserved the question of jurisdiction.
No Time to Lose.
If the supreme court refuses TO take orig
inal jurisdiction an attempt will be made
to start the suit in the circuit court. Great
haste is necessary, because if the law shall
be declared unconstitutional an extra ses-
sion of the legislature must be convened
and another apportionment be made, else
the old Republican law of 1885 will be in
force. The Democrats will never consent
to hold an election under that law so long
as they have a Democratic governor to re-
convene the legislature.
Attorneys in the Case.
Senator John c. Spooner, Colonel George
w. Bird, ex-Attorney General Estabrook
and District Attorney Pierce, of Adams
county, are representing the Republican
prosecution, together with Attorney Gen
eral O'Connor DEM, in his official capac-
ity. General Bragg is alone defending the
law, but it is thought that Senator Villas
will return to assist him.

Walker adj il all Laid Out.
He then read an argument intending to
show that the house rule giving the
speaker power to adjourn the house in the
absence of a quorum was unconstitu-
tional, and the act of the speaker under it
was therefore invalid. The house, he
claimed, in the bsence of a quorum could
adjourn from day to day, and take means
to compel the attendance of absent mem
bers. The speaker having abandoned his
chair it was necessary to elect a speaker

elected, Walker as justice of the peace
