vote by which the House sustained the
Governors veto. The motion carried,
and Leavitt moved to make it special
order for Tuesday at II a. m The pre-
NIOuS question was demanded, Wnen a
wild whirl of points of order and queS-
tons of personal privilege was precipi-

motion. The Speaker sustained the
previous question, and the motion for a
special order was carried. but appeals
from the Speakers rulings kept up the

NEW YORK, Nov. 1.-THE prediction of
DR.. E. c. Spitzka. in the Herald of July 4,
that Mrs. Augusta Mack would turn state

the character of the woman DIR. Spitzka
said, soon after the discovery of the Gull

THE face is that of a virago, a very
coarse-minded, animal creature, brutal.
frozen and stolid, extremely selfish, with
small mentality, yet with certain amount
OF low cunning-in short, the face of a
woman who lacks every noble feminine
quality Yet 1t is not a face that any man
would have right to stigmatize as a GRIM
mai one On the contrary, there are faces
of higher type which appertain to GRIM

tentiaries.
Her hands are remarkable for their
breadth. In the old times an examiner in
the class of obstetrics would never have
passed medical student as fit for that

three inches. Now, this woman ostensibly
a midwife, certainly measures more than

especial popularity is that it is not like a

What do you infer from this?"
That If she is guilty and the accomplice

would sacrifice herself for another or refuse
any avenue of escape because it compro-

IF, as is said, she was not registered as a
midwife and never reported a birth to the
Board of Health that fact would throw
CHASTITY suspicion upon her and lead to the
inference that she might have been in the
habit of oisposing of the bodies of children
stillborn or prematurely born in exactly the
way she disposed of Guldensuppes body.
If in addition, the report be true that she
was contemplating baby farming on a
large scale, you can easily imagine how
callous she might have become to cutting

church to which the good hand of God may
guide him." A resolution was presented
by Rev. DR.. John d. Witt, professor of
church history in the Theological Seminary
that the resignation of Dr. Shields be ac-
cepted. There were immediate protests and
requests that a resolution of regret accom-
pany the withdrawal.' The argument con-
tinued for some time, and Rev DIR. Rogan
offered a subreSolution that a committee OF
three clergymen and two laymen 10 be ap-
pointed to confer with DIR. Shields. 1t was
finally decided to appoint a committee of
five members to inquire into anG report on
the case. The committee consists of Dr.
Duffield. DR.. Rogan and DIR. Studdiford,
clergy, and Judge Lanning ana Or. HAM
ilton elders.
The committee, after an hours delibera-
tion, reported that it had first accepted DR..
Shields's resignation from the church and
instructed that his name be removed from
the roll. 1t also reported the Following reso-
luton:
Resolved, That, owing to previous mis-
apprehension of the action OF the presby-
call the attention of our elders, ministers
and members to the deliVeranceS of the
assemblies of 1871 and 1877 in regard TO the
signing of petitions for the sale of intoM-
eating liquors or beverages
These reports were adopted and the pres
bytery adjourned sine die.

missionary committee of the extension Of
the Methodist Episcopal Church resumed it's
session this morning, Bishop Andrews, of
New York, in the chair. When the public
meeting was called to order by Bishop An
drews, Rev. ]. f. Chaffee, of Minneapolis,
urged the committee to appoint commit
tee to devise ways and means to decrease
the debt. After some discussion Dr. Chat
fees suggestion was agreed to- The ques-
ton of the division of the appropriations to
domestic and foreign missions, respectively,
was discussed at some length. The total
amount appropriated was $1.139940, and
$4,000 additional was appropriated for con-
tingent expenses and $4,000 for incidental
expenses. 1t was decided to make the di-
vision of the missionary fund on the basis
of 45 per cent. for home missions and 55 per
cent. for foreign missions. The committee
was just about to enter into the apportion-
ment of the amount by districts when a
discussion arose over the division of the
two branches of mission work, and on mo-
tion it was reconsidered A lengthy debate
followed, the home mission advocates urg-
ing an increase of the percentage for do

with Two Years in Prison.

KANSAS CITY, Nov. 11-President J. c.
Darragh, who has been on trial for the
past week at Independence, charged with
wrecking the Kansas City Safe Deposit and
Savings Bank, was found guilty shortly aft
er 5 o'clock this afternoon and sentenced
to two years in the state penitentiary. No
tice of new trial was made and leave
given to apply therefor.
The bank failed on July 10, 1894. 1t was
the largest savings bank in the State. 1t
had two millions in deposits, nearly all
from poor people, and when it failed only
$1,000 in cash was in its vaults Darragh

deposits when they knew the bank was in
a falling condition. Sattley owed the bank
$S5 600, all except $500 of which was unse-
cured, and Darragh owed it $164 600 of
which $4,000 was protected by doubtful Sc
curites. Both We're well respected and the
failure caused sensation Each was in

In connection with the motion for a new

Murderer Until Further Orders.
LAWYER DUPREY'S PETITION
NO OFFICIAL KNOWLEDGE OF AC-
TION OF FEDERAL JUSTICES,
And the State Law Required at Least
Sixty Days Grace for the Con-
demned-Daily Record of Crimes.

SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. II. - William
Henry Theodore Durrant will not be hanged
at San Quentin tomorrow morning, after
all, the Supreme Court of this State having
granted him another respite at the eleventh
hour. Up to o. clock this afternoon when
the news flashed over the wires from Sacra-
mento that the court. now in session there
had granted a writ of probable cause, and
instructed Warden Hale not to carry out
the execution of Durrant until further or
ders, there was apparently no further hope
for the condemned murderer of Blanche La
mont and Minnie Williams, as his attorneys
Messrs. Dickinson & Boardman, had made
futile effort to secure another writ of ha-
beas corpus in the United States Court, and
had not even been granted permission to
appeal from that decision to the Supreme
Court of the United States. Meanwhile
however, Attorney Duprey hastened to Sac
ramento and applied to the state Supreme
Court for writ5of probable cause, for the
purpose of staying the proceedings against
his Client on the grounds that no official
knowledge of the action of the Supreme
Court of the United States in the matter
of Durrant's appealing from the decision of
the Federal Court had yet been received ;
that the Superior Court had acted too has
tily in sentencing Durrant to be hanged to-
morrow, as the law required that he be
given at least sixty days grace and
thirdly, that the tendency of an appeal in
the Supreme Court affecting the condemned
was of itself sufficient cause for a stay of
execution. The matter was partly argued
in chambers and later argued before the
full court and taken under advisement.
Shortly afterward the court announced its
decision, granting the writ applied for, in
which all the justices concurred.
