used to tell, though he himself was the
butt of its humor, was of sculptor who
had attempted the Cardinals bust at
Rome.
During one of the sittings the sculptor
discoursed on phrenology, and Manning
made him point out on the head he was
modelling the supposed seat of the vari-

THORN AND MRS. MACK.
No Is Quiet-She Is Nervous -1horn's Con.
tession Affirmed and Denied.

New YORK, Dec. 1.-Martin Thorn. who
!ast evening. heard the verdict of the
jury which will send him to the electric
cnair TO eXpiate the murder of Villa m
i 'lu,oehsuppe. passed quiet night in his
cell at the Queens county Jail
When Sheriff Doht went in to $40
morn. thls morning, the prisoner said he
nad no appetite for breakfast but he felt
tnat a Dig load was off his mind Thorn
did not talk as if he had any hope of get
ting a new trial. He supposed, he said.
that he would have to make up his mind
to meet the worst.
MRS. Mack spent a restless night, being
evidently affected by the conviction OF
morn. When she heard Of the verdict
she wept and expressed sympathy for her
former lover. although she says her con-
science is relieved. Mrs. Mack is in a
hlghiy nervous condition and is now very
anxious about her own case. District
Attorney 1oungs has not announced lust
what he proposes doing in the case of
Mrs. Mack. but says he will take no ac-
ton until after Thorn is sentenced
1t is understood that Mrs. Mack will be
arraigned in court. next week when her
counsel. Emanuel Friend will in her be-
half enter a plea of guilty of manslaugh-
ter in the first degree and that the district
attorney will accept the plea. In doing
this. Mr.. Youngs would recognize Mrs.
Nack's action in turning states evidence
at the first trial. Mrs. Mack may be sem
fenced to 20 years Imprisonment
Captain VIM. Methven. who had charge
Of Thorn during the trial. was kept busy
today, answering questions as to the
confession which Thorn made. last night
after he was taken back to his cell. It
waA stated that there was some doubt
thar Thorn had made such a confession.
At noon today, Capt. Methven was seen
at the Queens county jail and he made
this statement:
There are some discrepancies in the
published reports of Thorn'S confession.
bat the main facts remain unchanged.
Thorn made part of his confession to me
and part of the confession to Sheriff
Doht. Since | have talked with Sheriff
Don't. today, regarding the matter. l do
not see that there is anything more for
NE to say. From what Sheriff Don't told
me- | can truthfully say that Thorn con-
fessed that he killed Guldensuppe.'
Lawyer Howe denied. today, that
Thorn. after his conviction. Yesterday.
confessed to the killing and cutting up OF
Guldensuppe. Mr.. Howe reiterated his
belief that the court of appeals would re-
verse the verdict.

SURPLUS OF 34,O0O.0O0 LIRE.
Italy Highly EIated Over the Financial Show
ing Of Year 1861.

Rome, Dec. 1.-The minister of finance,
SienOr LuZZatti made his financial state
ment in the Chamber of Deputies today.
1t showed surplus of 34,C00,000 lire for
the financial year of 1867. The result
was considered especially gratifying as
the abundant wheat crop of italy has
largely decreased the customs receipts
which only totalled 33000,G00 lire, the
lowest on record. The revised budget for
the current year showed a surplus of 40
500. 900 lire.
Part of the surplus will be devoted to
the establishment of a consolidated fund
to be devoted to the withdrawal of state
notes, at the most effcaciouS method of
extineushing the premium on gold. Thus.
next year, over 30,000000 lire of state
notes will be redeemed.
1t is proposed to reduce the eXpendi-
tire in Erythrea. the Italian colony on
the coast of East Africa, from 10000 to
5000. 600 lire and to gradually withdraw
the Italian troops from the plateau to the
coasts and to Massowah, the port of de-
barkation and embarkation.
