the usual large crowd at I lie opening of

that a number of policemen are always
near by. At night the prison is strongly
guarded by men woo would not give up
witnout a eeveie struggle. A patrol is ou

The court, alter hearing the evidence and
considering it. refused to giant a new trial.
ud to-day the District Attorney moved
for'setiiece. -Doyle replied to the question
of the court as to whether lie had anything
to say by remaiking, "I don't care what
you say; you will do wiial you like (.By
way." The Judte ihen Bad be would
make no protraced remarks, and prot eded
to seuteuce the prisoner to be hung by the
neck until he was dead. Doyle stood still
ind exhibted no sign of emotion. After
the sentence was pronounced his aged
moher kissed hitrr passionately, and
stroked his hair in is lender, mot'ierly way.

the resumed her seat , Doyle win removed

Washington. February 22. At the pres

i. aire of the printing of currency by the
Treasury Department. The Government
hasin its possession about $12,000,000 in
ouhsidy coin, uf whieh a fraction over $10,
00J is in ten cent pieces. Ihe Secretary
of i lie Treasury has. fur sometime past been
considering J lie question ef issuing this
coin as provided iu the first section of ihe
specie resumption act, but has not yet nr
livi'.l nt a decision. A strong tiT.n-t is be
ing made both tor and against the imrae

A knotty question of law as to the own
ership of a ring is to come up in the West
Virginia courts. A geuilemau of Washing
Ion was engaged lobe married to a Morgau
icwn, W, Vii.. belle, and the engagement
was suddenly broken off. The yoiug lady
put the engagement, ring in a letter and
directed it to the Washington gentleman,
tln.ri'y after she saw the same ring on the
dainty middle finger of a other Morgantuwu
bel e. She was not jealous, probably, but
thought it a very strange incident. Woman
like site made efforts to find out bow thai
particular ring git on that particular finger
in MorgAnlown. It. was finally brought to
light that a post-office clerk had .abstracted
Ihe ring from ihe letter and given it lo a
friend, who placed it on the finger ot bis
'ady-lovs as a token of affection and
promise. That is how the ring came to be
doing double duly in Morgautown. Tiie
posioffice clerk was- arrested fur the theft
of the ring. The question at law will be
lo w hom did the ring rightfully belong at
the time it was abstracted from the letter
The courts will answer.
An investigation into the management of
the oau rraucisco Lily Hospital is in pro
gress. An ahum in J; number cf cases of
delirium ticmens 220 per month was re
ported, and there are some curious to
know the cause. Upon 'examination of
the liquor bills, it was ft nnd that in thirty
dnys there was enough whisky used in the
institution to give every inmate, officeis and
al'r a lull bath. The record of the liquor
was as follows: "November 22, I barrel of
whiskv and 1 barrel of port wine, $20ti 63;
November 20, 40 doien porler, $00; De
cember 7, I cask claret $30; G half barrels
ale, $45; icember 13 i barrel whisky
and I barrel sherry, $216; December 20, 1
barrel brandy $213; 1 barrel port, 03 87;
40 doxen porter $60: total. $024.' In ad
dition to this,' it wus discovered by the
commute that every patient- was supplied
with s good sized whisky Bask, which was
kept coustabtly full. The committee now
believe that they have solved the delirium
