CONGRESSIONAL OUTLOOK.

Not Much Show FOR Legislation FOR Some
Days yct-Spealscr Crisp's Illness.
WASHINGTON, D. c., Jan. 3.-When
the Fifty-second Congress rcassembles
next Tuesday after the holiday recess,
it will find itself far less capable OF en-
tering upon actual legislative business
than any OF its predecessors during re-
cent years. The committees OF
the senate owing to the late
date OF their organization have
been unable to place upon the
calendars anyof the reports that prop
erly engross the attention OF tlieseilatu
at this stage OF the first si,5esssee ee!sss-
sequently there will probably be little
for that body to do next week beyond
listening to speeches aud acting upon
some resolutions OF minor Importance
that may be brought before it tor i'm
mediate consideration, as we'll as nomi-
nations sent in by the President.
The illness oil Speaker Crisp has pre-
vented tho house committee Oh! rules
from availing themselves Of tie holiday
recess Tor the preparation OF 4 code OF
rules Ior the direction OF the business OF
the house. That branch OF the national
legislature is now embarked on the
trackicss sea OF general parliamentary
law. Mr.. Crisp's present condition
warrants the presumption that he will
not be able to preside when the house
,re.assenbes next Tuesday, and in con-
formity with the requirements
OF general parliamentary rules,
Clerk Kerr will call the body
to order. A speaker pro tempore will
be clected-probably Mr.. McNIillin, rs
Mr.. Mills, who had been mentioned in
that connection, will not be in Wash
ington-and an effort will be made TO
secure the adoption OF the Springer res
olution now pending before the COM
mittee on rules, providing for the adop-
tion OF tho rules OF the Fiftieth Con-

this is done the various committees

Awful Experience of Young Bride In Now
York-The Husband Forced to Witness
Ills Wife Assaulted by Seven Scoundrels.
My; York, Jan. Seldom within
the iiiNals OF New York police court
has there been such 4 revolving case
heard as in the Yorkvillc court to-day.
William Parcll, twenty-one years old,
who lives with his newly welded wife,
Mary, aged nineteen, at Cos West Fifty
fourth street, told the court that they
were awakened at two o'clock this
morning by some one breaking into
their apartments. On the instant, seven
young toughs rushed into their bed
room, pulled him out OF bed and threat
encd him with death if he made any
outcry. He broke away from them,
however, and ran out to the street in
his night dress shouting iorf help.
Hearing screaming IRON his wiie's
room he rushed back to her assistance,
only to find her struggling in the en-
brace OF one OF the thugs. Before he
could reach her side, however, he was
seized by several OF the others, who
held him and compelled him to witness
a sight that cannot be described in
words, rs one after another OF the
young scoundrels assaulted his wife.
The poor woman fought desperately,
but her assailants beat her into inscnsi.
3bility and accomplished their purpose.
Policeman Grinnon, OF the West Forty
seventh street station, now entered the
house, when the ruilians fed, all escap-
ing but one, whom the officers succeed
ed capturing. lie proved to be Richard
Kane, twenty years old, o. No. 7G0
Eleventh avenue.
The officer then rang for an ambu-
lance from the Presbyterian hospital,
and the surgeon who accompanied it
found the woman very badly injured,
besides suffering greatly from nervous
prostration. She declined to 20 TO the
hospital and was attended at her home.
She has been in an exceedingly critical
condition ali day.
Justice Ryan committed Kane for en-
animation on Wednesday next. His
six accomplices are not yet known, but
the police believe that all OF them will
be under arrest before tho day set for
kane's examination.

TWO YEAR,s FASTING.

81 Days.
ALLENTOWN, Pa, Jan. 3.-NErs. Adam
Wuchtcr, OF White Hall, seven miles
from here, whose strange experience as
an involuntary faster created such wide
spread interest during tho summer and
fall OF 1890, is still alive, apparently
having subsistcd $40 days without swal-
lowing morscl OF solid food, and con-
siderable portion OF that timc without
tasting even liquid nourishmcnt. She
is now blind, bedridden, paralytic anG
wasted to 4 shadow.
She began to fast April 4, 1880. A
year before that her health had failed,
aud all food was reduced to liquid form.
But after April 4 she was unable to
swallow anything at all, except occa-
sionally Il few drops OF water, until No
vembcr . following. On that day the
iaster succeeded in swallowing few
drops OF orange juice and subsequently
some beef tea. After TINT shc slowly
.nended, but still was unable to cat
solid food. In June, 1891, however, her
condition again grew worse and her
.suiIerings have been terrible. Mr..
Wuchter and the watchers at the bed
side feel sure that the end is at hand.

NEw YoRE, JAM 3.-For some timc
past threatening letters have been re-
ceivcd by the Gould family, which were
evidently written by we'll educated
German. The writor was evidently
well acquainted with jay Gquld's ca
rcer. The letters dated as far back as
1870, and related incidents connected
with tho partnership between Mr..
Gould and Jim Fisk and their gov
crnmcnt OF tho Eric railroad. They
went on to speak OF an accident on
that road in which tho writer's father
and mother were injured, for which he
demanded the sum OF $4,000. The
writer stated that ii the $4,000 was not
given up forthwith Mr.. Gould was liable
to be blown up in his office or whilc
walking in tho street or riding in his
carriage. The request was made that
the money be forwarded to certain

dispatched two detectives to Canada.
They visited the hotel in question.and
learned from its proprietor that he had
instructions to forward such letters to
Il certain town in New Jersey. Instruc-
tions had been subsequently left not to
open the letters, but to have them re-
addressed to some place in this city,
but just where the police refuse to
make known.
The authorities refuse TO give any
further particulars regarding the affair
or what their researches have brought
to light. They are still at work on the
case. however. Both George and Edwin
Gould were seen last night in regard to
these threatening letters, but they
would say nothing for publication.

DENVER, Col, Jan. Sat 9:45 o'clock
last night the jury returned verdict
of-guilty OF murder in tho first degree
against DR.. L. Thatcher Graves,
charged with tho murder OF tho late
Mrs. Barnaby.
The accused had entered tho court
room half an hour before the jury came
in with tho verdict, and although his
expression was ono akin to pain, he
mado n desperate, but futile, effort to
appear calm, and tho smile that occa-
sionally appeared upon his face was
forced. BY his side sat his wife, from
whom IN audible sigh would occasion-
ally escape, and behind him was his
aged and white haired mother, wrilI-
kled and careworn, her face bearing
tho signs of hours spent at weeping.
The court room was filed with ladies,
among whom were to be seen the
most fashionable in the city.
After being out just two hours and
ten minutes the jury fled slowly into
the room and took the seats they had
occupied for SO many weary hours,
while listening to the testimony. At
no time during tho entire trial was
there the dcath.lile stiffness in tho au-
dience that hoyercd over it.

SILENCE IN THE COURT ROOM,

While the Judge was reading the ver-
dict, before handing it TO tho clerk TO
be announced to tho public, tho silence
was indeed oppressive, and most elo-
qucntly spoken the feelings OF those
present.
Mrs. Graves was heard to gasp as ii
about TO faint, and instantly all the
eyes were riveted upon her, but it was
only for u moment, when the words OF
the clerk, as he began reading tho ver-
dict, acted like magic. All feelings OF
sympathy for the poor woman wero
changed to interest in the verdic'.
Frank AIillinston, hero OF the famous
Millington trial, sat near the Judge, and
was one OF the most attentive listeners,
and the expression on his face spoke
plainly and in unmistabablc terms his
sympathy for the defendant. Clearing
his throat the clerk read:
eve, the jury, find the defendant. T.
