A startling revelation is announced by t!ie Coroner's jury, which has been in vestigating the mysterious death of Judge Iavii C. Ihmohue, of Adams county. The jury decides that the Judge was murdered with strychnine placed in bottle of whisky. It his been more than a month since this community was periled by the strange death of Judge Donohue. He bad gone to bis stable one morning, intending to take a drive. It appears to Lave been bis custom to keep a bottle of whisky at the stable ia ca of emergencies, and especially for use wben taking a long, cold drive. That morn- n'K j juce iuui a una a, ana was soon orerc me by a violent pain. He su m mooed his hired man to his aid. A borae was bitched to a carriage, and the Judge was driven to a doc' or' s office. The physician at once said be bad been poisoned. Before tQe Jadg? could give an aceount of his ail ment be sank tut j a cbsir and was soon unconscious. He expired within aa hour of the time be drank tbe fatal dose. Then an investigation was began. A Philadelphia chemist was employed to make an analysis of the contents of the dead man's stomach. The chemist said strychnine bad killed hian. At Grit it was supposed that be bad taken tbe poison by mistake or with suicidal intent. The Coroner s jury has labored long and aearchingly. Tbe evidence showed con cliisive'y that the whisky had keen poisoned, and tbat it bad been placed where W Judge would drink it- So far nothing more than dim suspicion rests opon any oa a jttit murderer.

In the Cincinnati convention of IsTC. Mr. Cessna was tbe leader of the delegation from his State, and in fid one of the promi nent men of the Convention. When the break was made between the Blaine and the anti-Blaice forces, the Pennsylvania dela tion asked permission to retire fur consulta tion, and when they returned to the conven tion, Mr. Cessna was the spokesman for tht sew ho desired d-:lay. His speech in sur porl of aljourrnietit attract.-! tSe acti Blaine delegates, and incessant calls were made from ail over the convention to "lake the platform." He continued fiebling tbe call f ir a vote, standing on his chair on tbe Hour, bat betrg small in s'aiare it was d ltl cuit to make h:ineif beard thronph the im mense hail, and tbe call to take the platform was bo great that he went on the platform and remained there as the leader of the Hayes oeieeates until be succeeded in htv it.g ad-ipttdtbe motion to adjourn, which action nominated General Hayes. la 175 President Grant appointed bim Assistant Attorney General of the United States, which appointment be declined.

In he was candidate for Jodee in the Bedford-Somerwt district, and received tbe nomination. The contest between him and Judge Batr was vieorocs, Mr. Cessna being a positive force and never doing thinps b? I altes, bat cot possessio tbe art of suaviiy and compromise, he was drft-ated by thirteen votes. After this he devoted bis great abili ties to the law, and was the leader of the Bedford bar.

Thomas Murray, a your-g machiniat, of No. Tenih avenue, to day dolibera'ely tred two shots into his bead from a 22 -calibre revolver to prove that the weep-in would rot project a cartridge vrnh sufficient force lo pierce b's skull. Surgeons at the Eowevelt Hospital extract ed both balls, which, by glancicg, bad not penetrated his head far enouge to cause death. Murray and a friend named Joseph Mal vaney were drinking together this morning ia a saloon, when Mulvanry pulled from bis pocket a 32-caiibre revolver and began play ing with it. "That's enly a tcy," remarked Murray. Why don't you carry something that could be of some use to you 7" It's good enocgh t-J kill a man with, replied Mulvaney. I'll bet you the drinks that it won't send a bail through my skull," said Murray. '"I take tbe bet," was Mulvaney 's cool answer. The revolver was banded to Murray. He placel the muzzle against his right tempie and C red. Before the others could reach be fired a second shot into bis left tempie. Ir stead of failing dial or fatally wounded, Murray walked around the saloon demand ing the payment cf hie bet. Tt.e wounds ia bis head bled freely, and, finally becoming fcifehter.ed. be went to the West Tbirty sevetth street station and asked for medical attention.
