MEMPHIS. July 3o.-lSpeciall-A
large crowd was in attendance at the
criminal court to-day, it being an
nounced that Judge Du Bose would de-
liver his charge to the jury in the ia
nous Alice Mitchell case, the murderess
of Freda Ward. The defendant ap-
peared calm and collected during the
reading OF the charge. The time occu-
pied in it's delivery was fifteen minutes,
the question OF sanity or insanity of the
prisoner at the time of tho trial being
the only question considered
The jury retired at $3.50 and at0:5o
o'clock filed in the courtroom and de-
Hvered the following verdict;
1--WE, the jury, find the defendant,
Alice Mitchell, insane, and believe it
would endanger the safety of the COM
munity to set her at liberty. NC.
Galloway, foreman"
Alice Mitchell was then remanded to
the custody of the sheriff and will be
ordered placed in an insane asylum.
Should she DO released as sane at any
time, she can be then placed upon trial
on the 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
her trial now concluded.
When the verdict was read by the
clerk, faint smile spread over the de-
PENDANTS features as IL she had been
confident of the iury's verdict through
out the entire trial. She was taken to
jail, gayly chatting as she went, and
Will be sent thence to one OF the State
insane asylums.

ticians as Senator Quay and Senator Hill
are of opinion that this plan Of appeal has
more influence on the wavering and doubt
full than any other.
Men Who Will Get the Money.
The financial affairs of the Re
publican National Committee are this
year in the hands of. Cornelius N.
Bliss. and his selection as treasurer
has been generally voted q most admira-
BILE one. Commercial New York he knows
perfectly, and he possesses in full measure
and money kings. Under his direction there
will be no stress of finances in the Re-
publican Committee. The treasurer of the
Democratic National Committee is Robert
B. Roosevelt, a member of one Of the old
Knickerbocker families, q forceful leader of
his party and business man of hi gh stand
ing.
Mr. Bliss will be assisted in the work of
raising funds by an advisory ommittee of
FIVE The New England me mber of this
committee, it is said, will be Senator Nell
son W. Aldrich, of Rhode Island. Mr..
Aldrich is man of exceptional shrewdness
and persuasive powers, and is believed to
be better fitted to raise money than
any other leader of his party in the
New England States. His personal ac-
quaintance among the wealthy men of his
own and adjacent States is very large.
Benjamin F. Jones, of Pittsburg, will prob
ably represent the Middle States on the
committee. He isa skillful politician, who
knows the great industries of Pennsylvania
thoroughly and was Chairman of the Ma
tional Committee In 1854 Another Penn.

FAST DRIVING IN RUSSIA.
Tho Horses Fly at High Speed Through
Densely Crowded Streets.

Tho Horses Fly at High Speed Through
Densely Crowded Streets.
IT have been in all the great capitals Of
the world, from Paris to Pekin, and have
nowhere seen such horses and such driving
as in ST. Petersburg Every other man
owns a fast team, and all drive as though
the devil was after them. A great many of
the horses are of the Orloff breed, big, tall,
well-made blacks, all of whom are high
steppers. They have a touch of Arabian
blood in them, and they are trained SO that
they step in time and 60 very fast, says a
writer in Spare Aonaents
81 have been in s.. Petersburg over a
week and have not seen horse walk yet,
and one of the exciting incidents of life here
is the narrow escapes which you seem to be
constantly making whenever you 60 out to
drive. The droschkies are among the most
comfortable rigs 1 have ever ridden in. If
you could put a Japanese jinriksha on four
wheels, put q seat in front of it, and harness
horse instead of man to it you would
have something like st. Petersburg
droschky. Or if you would cut down a Vic
toria to half size, make the wheels no big
ger than those of baby carriage, and put
the bed of the rig about u foot from the
ground you would have the body Of the best
sort of droschky.
eff you wish the poorer class you must
take off the back and you have fair sample
of the $4,000 cabs which fly day and night
along these Russian streets. The droschky
horses are quite as curious as, the vehicles
they pull, and their drivers are equally
strange. The horses seem to be harnessed
with thongs, and you could cut the whole
outfit out of a pair of Russian top boots.

William F. Sheehan, Senator M. w. RAN
som, Benjamin 7. Cable, of Illinois; Brad
ley B. Smalley, of Vermont; E. G. Wall, of
Wis consin, and Josiah Quincy, of Massa-
chusetts, and of such men as William G.
Whitney and E. Cornelius Benedict. Mr..
Whitney, who is the personal representa-
tive of Mr. Cleveland in the present cam
paign, is a many times millionaire and in
close touch with the members OF his party.
Mr. Benedict is rich Wall street broker
and q warm personal friend of the ex-Presi-
dent 1t is said that between them they
have already raised round quarter of q
million for use during the campaign.
Heavy Contributors to the Campaign.
From whom in the main do the funds
thus collected come? The answer Is, from
large corporations, who, conservative and
cautions, favor the retention of the party in
power, and from wealthy individuals who
take patriotic pride in the success of their
cause. To name the men who are the chief
contributors to the Republican and Demo-
cratic funds would be very difficult if not
an impossible task. The Republican list
would include Postmaster General Wana-
maker, Andrew Carnegie, George M. Pull
man, Phil Armour, Stephen B. Elk ins and
others too numerous to mention.
The Democrats, on the other hand, al
ways connt with safety upon liberal con-
tributions from Arthur Sewall, Frank
Jones, John R. Mcpherson, Oliver H.
PAYNE, John L. Mitchell, ex-Mayor Will
lam r. Grace, Governor r. P. Flower,
Henry Willard and other millionaire mem-
bers of their party. Frank Jones, who is
one of the richest men in New England, al
ways gives freely himself, and, what is

more important, is very successful in in
ducing others to do the same. The same is
true of John L. Mitchell, who is the
wealthiest man in Wisconsin, and ex- Mayor
Grace, who, in a campaign in which he is
fully aroused, is capable of splendid work
in financial way. When Grace takes his
coat off in fight there is sure to be all the
money that is needed for the battle.
How Governor Flower Goes at It
Governor Flower, in collecting campaign
funds, follows method that is all his own.
He makes out list of those upon whom he
intends to call, with the amount which he
thinks each man should give set opposite
his name, heads the list with his own SUBJ
scription for generous amount, and then
goes the rounds As those upon whom
Governor Flower calls are rich men like
himself his tours are generally productive
of speaking results Henry Wizards eff
fort among Democrats of German extraction
warm personal friend of Mr.. Cleveland he is
counted upon to do good work in the pres
ent campaign.
The Democratic managers will greatly
miss this year the presence and aid Of the
late William L. Scott, of Erie, Pa. Ap-
peals to him for financial aid in campaign
were seldom made in vain, and as collector
of funds he had good-natured, stand-and'
deliver way that was most effective. l
have it from a source that is entirely relia-
BILE that in 1888 Mr.. Scott contributed $780,
900 toward the reelection of ex-President
Cleveland. In that campaign he held much
the same position that Mr.. Whitney does in
the present, but so rapidly are the changes
worked by time that already he is halt-for-
gotten.
Other financial pillars of their parties in
the past were Governor Morgan, OF New
York; Marshall Jewell, of Connecticut;
Zachariah Chandler, of Michigan; August
Belmont, of New York, and Samuel j. Til
den. Marshall Jewell raised S170, 900 in
sing lie day in Boston. The late ex-President
Arthur v as charming beggar, and Senator
Quay, in the campaign OF 1885, showed
equal skill In the collection and disburse-
ment of campaign funds, and the ability in
these things of mis- colleague, Senator Cam
eron, has long been we'll known.
The Third party movements are conducted
on an economical basis. as they are largely
given over to hurrah and sentiment and
have few wealthy adherents.

any other man, that is due the credit Of
pertectlng the method of campaigning now
in vogue Mr. Tilden had a gift for the
management of men on large scale that
amounted to genius. He saw that great
issues which arouse the enthusiasm of the
masses, though most essential. are not in
themselves sufficient to insure success in
campaign, but that much of the work to be
effective must be done in secret and that 1t
was of the first Importance that every voter
should be brought into direct personal con-
tact with the campaign management.
This required comprehensive system,
great volumes of correspondence and limit
less use of printers ink-in a word, an
. organization which reached out and en-
braced every home and freside in the land
and the operation of which involved the
expenditure of vast sums of money. Time
stamped Mr.. Tilden's methods with the seal
of success, and, they have been given the
place of those formerly employed.
What Quay and Hill Bank On.
In the expenses of the Republican Ma
tional Committee the circulation of care
fully prepared campaign documents is con-
sIdered most important These documents
not only inform the masses, but furnish
mass of statements aud arguments upon
which local orators draw freely. They are in
the main the speeches of leading Senators
and Congressman, but very often brief and
trenchant cards and circulars, which pierce
with single shaft the armor of the enemy,
are employed with telling effect
This year the two national committees
will probably spend fully $4,000 in the
preparation, publication and circulation of
documents This represents a mass of
printed matter nearly large enough to fill
tion whether or not too much money is not

ance in carrying out q plot of mine-a re-
venge for each of us and @ salutary lesson
for the victim2" Then, with his lips
wreathed in that smile of satanic cunning
which was the elan, the fash the fame Of
his public performances, he unfolded to me
the details of his scheme for the humiliation
of the German chess-titan, the arrogant
Won Moltke.
"His immense egotism has disgusted me;
he is q great chess player, but neither a
generous victor nor graceful loser. Yes
terday, when all were offering you their
congratulations, he sat sullenly to one side:
when he at last arose, and you swooned, he
did not even wait until you came to, but
went of with . hectorly vaunt upon his
lips
81 shall invite him to play another game
with you Then, depend upon me, his as
surance will scatter like chaff; his strategy
melt into thin air before the inyincible
combinations of my monito."
Hurt by the slight which supposed I
had received from Moltke, I effected COM
promise with my conscience, and consented
to become a party to the conspiracy. I
would have preferred to meet the German
upon q fair field; but, whether it was due
to Houdin's insinuative eloquence or to my
natural cowardice q am candid), was
carried away bv the glamour of the project
and became the willing tool of gigantic
fraud.
Tomorrow morning at III" said Houdin
at parting; 'T will play the good pretre
meanwhile and prepare the condemned for
the stroke of the axe"
As decended the narrow stair, the door
leading to the street opened, and found
myself face to face with Moltke.
"Ah, my young friend" he cried pleas
antly," Shave you been to our friends for
a sorcerer's spell. 1t will avail you moth
ing wheE next we meet"
''You are very confdent,"I drawled,

that if either of US need take recourse to
