BOTH DECLARED INSANE.
Two Women of Unsound Mind Were
in Court.

~ in Cosrt.
q "A marshafs jury yesterday afternoon de-
clared that Virginia N. Lount and Lulu
Huntington were Of unsound mind, and the
two unfortunate women were returned to
ST. Effzabeth's Insane Asylum for treat
n.ept.
Both women are widows, Mrs. Lount hav-
ing a son twenty-five years CT age. She Is
the woman who early in this month an
nounced that she was the modern Portia, -
and that she would lecture at Convention
Hall. claiming that 5000 tickets had been
sold for the event. In the hearing yesterday.
Instituted by the District, Drs. d. p. Hick-
hing. J. R. hewitt and George Barrie testi-
fled that-t they had examined the unfortu-
nate woman, and had found her to be OF
ursound mind. They stated that she had
told them Of ner proposed lecture, and that
she had secured her own arrest and in
generation in the Baltimore jail that she
might gain newspaper notoriety. Her lee
ture. she said to them. was for the benefit
Of the poor. and was to have been on their
condition. She wished to be a second Nellie
BLY,, and was anxious to be sent to the in
sane asylum that, like Miss BLY,, she might
tell of the treatment Of patients there.
Her son, WILDER r.. Lount. stated that his
mother was thirty-nine years Of age. and
undoubtedly OF unsound mind, although she
enjoyed perfectly lucid intervals. She
Claimed 10 De UnOer treatment Dy the spirit
Of Esculapius. the founder Of medicine, and
refused to accept treatment from the hands
OF material physicians. His mother said
she wished to be confined in jail and In the
asylum. for the purpose Of gaining noto-
riety. She had insane ideas as to the poor.
and believed that her aim was their ameli-
grafton. She would purchase things with
her own and borrowed money and then 20
cut and give them away on the streets.
Mrs. Eount. q rather prepossessing wo-
mon. attired In handsome gray suit and
jaunty hat. was In court, and II was sup
posed she would make q contest She did
Eot. however. and heard the evidence which
consigned her to the asylum with SEEM
ing delight, apparently more than satisfied
with the jury's verdict.
Mrs. Huntington was also In court, being
brought into the room on a stretcher, al
though 1t was explained that she was per-
fectly able to walk. AS the testimony of
the witnesses was given, she shut out their
words by holding her hands tightly over
her ears. 1t appeared that she was from
Texas, and that she had done newspaper
work here. She had left her home In Texas
because Of her fathers second marriage It
was said. Little was known Of her by the
witnesses, but 1t was shown that she suf-
fered from insane decisions, the fact that
she claimed to have the inside track on the
sugar trust being mentioned as one of them
After the hearing a woman who de-
clined to state her name but explained to
a Star reporter. that she was a friend of
Mrs. Huntington claimed that she was NOT
insane and declared that the hearing was a
Gsgraceful farce.

TWO DISTRICT BILLS
The President Failed to Act. Although
Urged to Do So.
The Comnissioners Approved Them
and MI. Ro.. Caiicd and Personally
Urged Favorable Action.

Two bills of great interest to the District
were unacted upon by the President, and
the probabilities are strong that they will
be allowed to fail absolutely. One of these
bills In Senate bill No. 226S entitled AN
act to amend section $50 of the Revised
Statutes relating to the organization of
corporations within the District OF Column
bsa." The other Is a Senate resolution
providing for the compilation and publica-
ton Of the laws relating to street railway
franchises in the District of Columbia
Both of these measures were delivered at
the White House on the oath instant They
were referred to the District Commissioners
for report and were returned to the White
House the following day with a strong
recommendation for their approval.
In addition to this. Commissioner Ross
called in at the White House yesterday and
personally urged favorable action upon
these bills. He represented that unless the
bill relating to the Organization of corpora
lions became . law the charters of some
very important corporations will expire by
Limitation before the next session of Con-
gress. and that much confusion and trouble
would result. He said that the joint reso-
luton In reference to railway franchises
was also a very important measure to the
District.
He May Yet Sign Them.
Following the precedent Of previous ad-
ministrations, these bills. not having been
signed during the session of Congress- and
the ten days limitation allowed for their
return without approving not having fully
expired, would have failed upon adjourn
ment, just the same as though they had
been vetoed.
Judge Mott of the Court Of Claims re-
Gently made a decision. however. to the ef-
feet that the President could sign q bill at
any time within ten days after its receipt
by him. rega rdless of whether Congress is
or Is not In session. Should the President
decide to avail himself OF this construction
Of the law he will still have up to Septem-
Der to act favorably upon these two bills.
In view of the understanding, however
that he made no arrangement to have the
bills sent to lin at Gray Gables for his
further consideration, there is not believed
to be much prospect Of their becoming laws
at this time
Other Measures Enacted On.
Other congressional measures which were
left Enacted upon by the President are the
following: Joint resolution to print the agri-
cultural report for 1894: act granting the
Kansas City. Oklahoma and Pacific Rail-
road Company right Of way through the
Indian territory. and the act for the relief
Of George Isenstein and s. II. Hathaway
& Co. He found time yesterday for the ap-
proval of the act to change the initials OF
a anne in the Indian appropriation bill and
the act for the relief OF s.. E. Hallford OF
Alabama.
