Zrom the Cineinnati Gazette, Oct. 3, ‘Ihe iorriblo affatr on Ninth streot is still the topic of dmoussion In thocity, The fatler of Mrs. Porking arrived yesterday morning, and wout at once to the liouse of his drughter. Ilo was almost overwhelmed with giiof on entering the house, aud ho was still moro brokea dowu wwhen ho entored his davghter’s room. Dr. James, who Lus beou oxtromoly watehful over biy pationt, had warned {le fathor to speak only on pleasant.subjocts to his daughtor, and to say nothing to call up tho ovents of the last threo days. Tho father followod tha advico as fur ag bo could, but Mre, Perkiva could not avold talk- ing of what was in hor mind, About 11 o'clock in the forenoon, while hor fathor was standing fo the door of hor room talking with a Sistor of Charity who was in at- attondanco, Mrs. Porkine sclzed tho opportunity to muke anothor attempt on hor life, Thore was nlittle work-baskst on tho sowing mnchine or tablo which atands at tho hend of her bed, It had.not been disturbed because it was fllled with doll's dresses, aud othor trifles belonging to tho doad cbild, It appoars that Mre. Porkins ro- membered thal i the bottom of this basket was & pair of little scissors. Sho took tho baslot, found the eeiesors, and, opening thom, drove the aharp pointod blude Into hor throat, making & deop inciglon, Bys mere chance the binde 1nizsed the carotid artery, and by that chance hor lifo was paved, The movement attracted tho attontion of her father, who sprang to her side and took away the iustrumont. Tho wound did pol bloed much, owing to ita loca- tion, and, perhaps, aleo, owing to tho ox- hausted condition of the pationt. Dr. Jamos wao immediataly summoned and dressed the wound. 3irs, Porkins refcorated hor regrat that she was not allowed to dio. Sho was exceed- {ogly nervous all tho aftornoon, was scarcely consclous, and was not sblo to recognize suy ouc. Bhe rofused to {ake anything to oator driuk, aud peraicted n har dateraination to dio. It will bo remembered that at tho inquest on Mondey night Mr. Porkius, hor Lusband, ro- fusod ot Arst to Bay who waa 1u tho houas on tho night beforo the wurder. When prossed by a Jurywan, ho said it was Josoph Clure, but ho atill uvoided telling anything moro about him, and it did not appear that Claro had beon at the house ofter the morniug.
