A MEW PLAN DISCUSSED, VRISHINGTON, January 1.—Under the previous system of “apportioning the representatives among tho several states according to numbers, the pro- | cess has been to first fix the 1 of members to compose tho house and | then divide the whole number of peo ple in the United States by this num ber which gives the ratio of re; tatives or the number of inhabi that are entitled to a representative, | In the division of the numbor| of inhabitants in a state there is a remainder which is left until all the states have beon | gone through. he number resulting | from even division is consequently | loss than the number fixed upon and the difference is made up by takin, the state having the largest fractiona! remainder, and €0 on, until the full | number is reached. But now Mr. Seaton, superintendent, comes in with a series of tables to show that this rule is not good, and by its adop- tion small states get more rej resentatives to the inhabitants than the large states. This grows out of the division of fractions among a large number of representatives. The adoption of the new plan on the basis of a house of 293 members would take one member each from the num- berthey would have ontheold plan from Miunnesota, Connecticut, West Virginia Nebraska and Rhode Island, and give tothe great states of Pennsylvania, New York, Massachusetts, Illinos and Ohio each man. The same will affect large and small' states the same way, whatever the number may be. As the large states throw the heaviest vote, the chances are that the new plan will be adopted, but it will not be until after vigorous protest against departure from the established usage from the losing states. The fact that many of the state legislatures meet in January makes early action by congress in the matter of apportionment important, in order that the states may be re. districted before adjournment. It is, therefore, probable this will be one of the earliest measures considered in the hoire, in which Lody the wan contest over it will bo, as it does not affuct the senate. TREASURY INVESTIGATION. National Associated Press MORE ALLEGED CROOKEDNESS. WasHINGTON, January 1.—The Gazette this morning publishes another long article on the treasury investiga- tion in which it charges that John Sherman, when secretary of the treas- ury, had an elegant sideboard made for his houss by a treasury cabinet maker; also that the bill for the ova- tion tendered Sherman upon his elec- tion to succeed General Garfield in the senate was paid out of the waste paper fund of the treasury. The same art charges that a son of Assistant Secrotary Krench drew €10 per day for more than a year as assistant to the architect of the treasury while in fact he was in Europe all that time, studying scalpture.

No man who has such a delusion and is insane, recognizes himself as anything but sane.

From his examination of the prisoner he had no hesitation in de- claring him perfectly sane at present. Cur?(hillthuu submitted the hypo- thetical question of the defenso to the witness, who answered “In my judgment that question cannot be an- swered yes or no, It refers to the prisoner at the bar as representing an imaginary person, and 1 would not he willing to answer that question, The hypothetical cise of the prosecution,” Dr, Gray said, “described a man per- fectly sane.” ®PGuiteau said the hypothetical ques- tions were getting stale; they made him mad and were falsehoods. In answer to questions the witness said ho believed the prisoner is acting a part. am not acting a part. 1 am acting for the truth,” cried Guiteau “He evidently thinks,” said the witness, “he will impross others with the idea that he believes he had an inspiration, and has been acting un- der the influence of the Deity and will be vindicated in this matter. Said Guiteau: “If it takes an act of God to do it.” | The Ohto L. ness, “in my judgment is utterly in- consistent with the 1dea of insanity, especially of insanity in which there is a claim or in which there exista a delusion of a command or pressure of God or any influence of any kind de rived from the Deity.” In the cross-examination tho wit ness admitted that in the early part of his caroor he believed in moral in aanity, but as he grew older he learned better.

Being asked it hoever saw the case of a prisoner in court feigning insanity, he answcred: o have not considered that the prisoner had made any manifestations of ins- ity.

National As ocinted reas GreeNcastie, Tod., January 1, Tho mysterions cireumstanc: con- neetod with death of a young woman, formerly a_resident of this eity, have given new impetus to the excitoment concerning the affair. The facts of tho caso point to foul play. A search- ing legal investigation is to be proso cated. Tt scems on Septomber 20th last, Miss S. V. Doup, bettor known as Jennie Doup, died rather strangely in the Ponnsylvania hotel at London, Ohio, whsro she was stopping as the reputed wife of J. Goretle, The body was brought to Greencastle for inter- men. Gorolle superintended the trans portation of the body and after burinl published an obituary notice stating that he had married Miss Doup May 14, 1879; that on August 1st, 1880, o child was born to them at London, Ont., but died o fow hours aftor birth. The cause of the woman's death was alleged to be malarial fever and’disease of the hoart. The pecu- liar circumstances attending = her death, the fact that Gorelle was the only person who waited npon her and a number of other strangoly apyear- ing facts, induced the bolief that all had not been right. In July, 1880, Miss Doup was forced to leave Wilmington as she was no longer ablo to conceal the evidences of his sin and went on a farm in Jennings county, Indiana. Here she resided with Gorelle, who siyled himself J. Gorelle simply but was in reality James W. Gorelle, the legally appointed oxecutor of Jacob Doup’s estate and the seducer of his ward. A child was born August st and died almost inmediately, not- withstanding it was healthy. The re- creant husband and his paramour afterwards moved to London, 0., and stopped at the Pennsylvania hotel, Sho was taken sick, and died within a week. Suspicious whispers regard- ing the manuner of her taking off were indulged in. Soon the story spread and Dr. Rogers, the coroner, exhumed the body for examination November 12th, after six weeks interment, The antopsy was made by Drs. Rogers any possible criminal. The supposi- tion was that she might have been oisened by Gorelle in order to secure Rai lbaoy of/630,000 a5 her stomoh was given to Prof. 8. S. Baker, of the Indiana Asbury university for analysis. The professor to-day made the following statement; ‘I have made a thorough examination of the stomach and am inclined to believe death was the result of unnatural causes, No indication of poisoning, but the genital organs were ab. sont, leading mo to believe that violent measures had boen adopted to procure abortion, The uterus could not be found, and ag that is about the 1 to do- cay, the fact is very remarkable. Other evidences suggested that the woman had been tampered with, as the other organs wero unusually largo for a normal condition and had the appearance of recent childbirth,” Mrs. Davidson, wife of the propri- ofor of the Pennsylvania hotel, Lon- don, Ohio, said in answer to_inquries: & = “Did I think she was sick? Not v bit of it. About 11 o'clock she came into the kitchen looking as healthy as any ono could, and looked into the pots on the stove and asked what we were going to have for dinuer. She was @ hearty cator and took a picce of potato, saying Gorelle had told her she must not eat anything, as she was taking medi- cine, “Had she ever complained of feel ing ill?” “Na.

She had intended to go away on Monday and had everything packed up. He refused to let her vo. She died next day.” Dr. Underwood stated: ‘““My im- pression is foul play has been prac- ticed. The sudden and unaccountable death of the baby a year ago, tho mysterious and unexplained death of the woman, coupled with the fact that he had not long before made her will in favor of Gorelle, are very suspicious circumstances and seem to furnish a motive for the crime,” Old wan King, of Mansfield, Ohio, an uncle of Miss Doup, said awhile #go he believed Gorelle had secured the death of old man Doup after he was appointed executor of the old wan's will, Dr. Shields was asked, *“Did you not state after the woman had died the symptoms were those of strych- nine!"’ “T might have said something of that kind. 1 seo now that the people claim she was poisoned.” “If that is the case, why didn't they investigate it 1" “Tam willing to help on any inves- wiloiWoui uihalt récourse againsg | 4k BEE. tigation but myself away, Gorello was appotnted administes- tor of old man Doup's estate, and do not propose to - give 1 after ho was appointed the old man died.
