Vpteu few days past comparatively llttle

that all kinds of spring weik is late. The
nights have been cool and tobacco plants
grew slowly In open beds and the bulk of
them nre two small yet for setting out,
though a nmnber of farmers have availed
themselves of the late rain and planted u part
of their prospective ere.
Hoperts continue tocenlo in fiem this and

be much less the coining season than nt

erep of '81 is as light in weight its it Is re
ported te be, it will continue te advance
in price and this may be an Incentive te
planters te again put inn full crop in hopes
el getting better prices next year.
The transactions in old tobacco for the past

necessary te wait the eoiiplellen of the latter,
though. Let 100 el thu fieshesl, youngest

Western penitentiary, and put te work en

As the young ladles In Mrs. De Witt's sem
inary, In llellevllle, N. .1., were marching
Inte their different class rooms Monday
morning, a pistol shot was heard. It scorned
le eome lrein thu third story, and Mrs. De
Witt, who was in thu building nt Iho time,
rushed thither. At the end of the long-corridor
she saw a thin pull' of Hiuoke Issuing
from an open doorway. In an Instant she
reached Iho end or tlie corridor, mid Wits hor
rified nt the sight which met her gn.e.
Stretched en the fleer, with smoking re
volver tightly clutched in her right hand,
was Miss Nellie Canllcld, a student In the
seminary. Sholsanlece or Mrs. Abraham
Lincoln. Mrs. De Witt called for assistance,
ami Miss Can Held was plnced upon her hed
mid an examination made. It was found
that she had shot licrscll in the left
breast, the aim evidently having been the
heait. The young lady was unconscious and
blending profusely from her wound. A phy
sician was summoned, who pronounced the
wound fatal. As the bullet was sunposed te
be embedded In the llesh, near the heart, the
physician refused te prebe for it, as
thu operation might hasten death. Miss Can Can

Tlie young ladles of the seminary knew
but llttle about Miss Canllcld, as she was In
clined te be n recluse, but Mrs. De Witt said
te n reixji ter : "The jeiing lady, wiiolsnbeut
eighteen years old, was brought te the semi
nary by her mother almut three months age.
At the tlmoshe had just recovered from nso nse nso
vere attack of the spinal meningitis, ami was
in u delicate state el health. A bout two weeks
age she became troubled by an oxcreseenco
from thu cars and wasconllned te her room.
She sullered much, and a physclnu ex plained
that her previous sickness had undermined
her health and this last attack brought en
dellriim, uud her mind was greatly nllected.
Monday morning she npcari'd rational. A
nurse constantly nttended her,nnd Miss Can Can
Held requested iier le get nil nrticie from

and was en her way back when she heard
the report of the pistol."

She then Milk Uick into u stupor. When

tone of voice :
" Oh I ihKter, Jiow long will this last 1 1
want te go I"
She rambled en In Incoherent utterance
whlle the physicians made a further exami
nation of her wounds. It was found ne
cessary te pi uee her under theellccts or an
anodyne. Dr. Hewlett said the wound was
or n fatal nature, mid her Impoverished sys

covery. Lirge bills were round In her cars,
nnd tlie physicians were of the opinion thai
the Inllaiiimatien had reached her brain. At

A dispatch from Londen le the New Yerk
lh'cniny Tclt'iram says that the suicide of
Lieutenant Jehn Loemls Scheck, United
States navy, Is another case of mental over evor ovor
werk. The dead officer was appointed by
Secretary Chandler two years age as ene of
two young eillccrs te take the ceurse of naval
architecture ut the loyal goveinmaiit school,
ut Greenwich. He would have completed
the ceurse next month uud have returned te
America under the most happy auspices.
He was nervously anxious te pass te the
head of his class mid studied with such in
tense application that extrome dopiessleu
took posseasion or his mind. Fer several
days and nights he had had no sleep, no
appetite, no oxerciso, but was studying nil
the time. His intellect guv e way in conse
quence. He 'appeal s te have preared for sell-de-
siruciieii wiiu rental Kiiwe premeditation,
locking himself lu his room uud writing sev sev sov
oral farewell letters. Among theso was ene
te his mother mid nuother toil young Eng
lish lady who was seen te have boceuio his
wife. The lady was prostrated with grief nt
the sad uud startling end or her courtship.
All the letters are in thu imssesslen of Corener
Curtter, of West Kent, who refuses te diselose
the contents because they ure of nn entirely
private .nature, throwing no light en the
tragedy. Te his college-mate, Lieut. Nixon,
Mr. Scheck left n letter ene page long enclos
ing his will, with curtain directions us te the
disposal of his remains and jierseual etlccts.
Thu deeeased made ii brilliant mark at An
napolis, where he 'took highest honors. He
would have Ihieii surpassed by no one ut
(Jrecnwich had he gene up for examination.
That he should have sullered nervous nils
giv lugs Is a rather curious fact under nil thu
circumstances, but thcre seems te lw no
doubt that it was se, as it Is vouched for by
Captain Chad wick, the naval attache of the
American legation, uud also by Lieutenant
in ixen, w wiieiu, in me couiiuenco ei com
panionship, Mr. Scheck disclosed till his
holies uud feurs.
A dlsutch wusrocelvod at the department
at Washington, that young Scheck had been
suH'ering from mental depression for soveral
days prier te his suicide. The early part of
lastwuuic un inumaie iriomiet me young
elllcer In Washington rccolved a lotter from
him, in which thore was no indication of
depi cased spirit. Scheck Is said te have been
engaged le a young lady lu this country who
was recently married mid certain of his
friends uttribute the suicide te this disan-
. pehitmcut.

At 3 p. in., when Judge Drake's resolution
against the validity of Heman Catholic baji
tisui was taken up, he yielded the fleer, ask
ing that seme opponent open the debate and
that he be allowed te clone,
Dr. W. C. Alexander, professor in tlie
theological seminary of San Francisce, spoke
in opposition le the resolution. He said
it was useless, us it would net be n do de do
liverance, but simply an expression of
opinion of theso voting. It is mere papal
than all the peic.s combined. It involves
u misrepresentation of the staudatds,
according te which the vlsible church " is

religion." This resolution denies the validity
of the baptism administered te millions of
persons wne liaye enmu into me rrotesiuni

nover rocelvcd any ether baptism. "If we
liassitwe make ourselves a laughing stock
of the whole Christian world; uud Ifitslieuld
pass" the sneaker said. "I should retire
Irem the assembly a Presbyterian, but deeply
disgusted mid would ulwajs be ashamed
te leek a scholar in the face. Though
the Catholic church had becoine corrupt, we
have no right te cost her out as a church."
Hev. Dr. K.H. Nevln, or Philadelphia, form ferm form

said he nover had heard a mero Inconsistent

Hev. Dr. Kchair, or New Yerk, opposed
the resolution, and commenced by submit
ting tlie following as a substitute, though he
dhi net ask the assembly te jess it, but
rather us embodying the substance.', of his
speech : '
"Jlcielvcil, That It is the delllicrate and do de

the Kacrameiit or baptism administered by
her In the nante or the Hely Trinity, and
with the Intention te baptlxi, is true mid
valid Christian baptism, which cannot and
ought net te be repealed."
The doctor suld that Protestants going Inte
the Catholle church were net rubaptUed ;
then should we be se bigoted us te deny thu
validity of baptism by tlie Cutheliu church?
In concluding, he submitted his loselutloii

NliW Yeitlf, May 20. Kev. Arthur Ultehle,
rector of HU Ignatius church, en West
Fortieth streel, has eaused much exclteinent
in Protestant Kpiscepal circles by his pub
lished denials that Assistant lllshep Petter
haif written him a lotter or remenstrance
against the new Tenus Introduced Inte the
ritual nt his, Mr. Hltchie's, church. The
Innovation consists lu the publltfroservutlon
of the sacrament within llie sanctuary of the
church, uud the exhibition of the monstrance
or osteusorlum, as u part of the ceremony of
the benediction. These, forms nre net des
cribed by the rubric of the Protestant
Kpiscejial church, and they have nover bofero
been practised In any sanctuary or the de
nomination In this clly. Mr. Hltchie's
recent Introduction or them has evoked
much cilticisui lu rollgleus circles and
has greatly strained Ins relations with
the body iif Kpiscepuli.iiiH In this dio
cese. In ills own parish, however, Mr,
Kltchieis most enthusiastically upheld and
his congregation nt present, notwithstanding
the, less of seme hundreds of his Heck sluee
his Introduction ofthe new forms, is larger
nml financially stronger than It has ever
bofero been lu the history of the church.
Whlle In Chicago us rector or the Church
or the Ascension lie had fallen Inte a discus
sion with his hishep, the Hight Hev. Dr.
MaeLiren, concerning this same subject, the
disarrangement of the common ritual. Mr.
Hltchtu resigned his pasterale, but the con
gregation refused te accept his resignation,
ami he went en preaching for seme six
months longer, until ills call te this city. Mr.
Hitchie was called upon by a United
Press icperter at his rcsldeuce in the hotel
Vcndoine this morning. "The charge that I
have resisted Lpiscep.il authority," said he,
" Is f.ilse lu overy particular. I have Intro
duced with due iiolice and with the approba
tion of my parishioners some changes in our
services. 1 have heard plenty of bilk te the
cllect that thu Innovations are looked uen
with disfavor by the bishop and by ether

could be projierly called a letter or reinon reinen

The father sav-s he is uuable yet te give any
reason for his daughter's act. Te a United
Pres.1 ropertor he stated that he lay awake at
night and tried te recall every circttnistance
hi his daughter's llie that could in any way
be construed as a motlve for killing horself,
and failed te recall even tlie slightest cause
for the rash act. " If that hoartless fellow,
Cass Florence, who married his cousin," he
centinued, " lietrayed her, that will account
for it all. I neticed a marked change In her
manner or late and from a quiet, sedate girl
she had becoiue very lively."
