It was given to-day av 2 o'clock, and when asked what lie had to say why the sentence of the court should not be passed, Beers replied in a low but calm tone of voice: I havo not v 1ch to sa 1 killed my syeetheart, whon love: God knows that I did not know what doing. 1 have nothing m Judge Chapman then rebuke was re Lo sa the jury b, that be saying that he had tried his case ty from the nature of the evidence he had come convincad that he deliberately dered the girl, and that alth the had commended him to the m of the court, the sentence would be that the pris oner shall be taken hence and confined in the penitentiary of the state for the rest of the natural yoars of s life. “Hattie Watson vs Harriet Leighton is the title of an action filed for trial in the district court to-day.

Tlhe first count sets up that Mrs, Lelghton called her a vile name, o ac- count of which the plaintift says she was damaged £5,000 worth, The second count is not specific in every sense, but alleges that the defendant denomiuated her a woman of bad reputation, for which she asks the bal ance of the damages claimed. The suit will attract wide interest.. Florence Berry asks for adivorce from Elmer Berry on the grounds of habitual drunkenucss, abandonment and cruelty. The petition was filea this morning.

The recent visit of the board of punlic lands and buildings to Norfolk, to investi- gate the asylum tragedy ot without fruit, Formal rcport of the investigation has been made to the governor, ¢ Scerotary Laws, Treasurer Hill, issioner Steen and Attorney Geueral While, per- haps, 1t contiius no now facts of public - terest, it is understood that it is far from favorable to Supcrintendent Kelly, the head of the mstitution, and that it practically recommends the governor to ask for his immedicte resignation. It scems that the board took this step after mature delibera. tion, having carefully looked into the charges against Kelly. ~ But, notwithstand- ing this, it is given out that the governor will continue silent in the matter until final udicial action has beon taken. It seems, howover, that the senate is on the eve of taking a'step that may lead to investigation Dby a committee from that body, SENATORIAL KELIGION. There is a peculiar order of things at Grace M. I, church, at the corner of Twen- ty-seventh and It streets, and the talk out that way is such that one is led to conclude thav religious frenzy or fanaticism has struck Lincoln. A decided effort has been made to cover up the strange proceedings, but in vain Not tong since Rev. Minehart, pastor of the chureh, entered the pulpit and announced to an unusually lareoBSunday audience U the Lord had d to him that morning James, you can rest.” The pastor then took his seat, declining % preach, and the service was turned into a cluss meetin which became somewhat demonstrative b fore it closed. A dozen or more members of the church engaged in exver:mental speech muking, and at times during the hour of service four or five voi could be heard talking in concerf, This state of affairs was not produced by old-time excitement attend- ing revival meeting, but it is alleged resulted from the peculiar mesmeric influence of the Ppastor, due to his mental condition, which seemed to seize some of the members of his flock. It is alsolearned that this state of ex- citement existed at the regular Wednesday evening prayer meeting following, and that the immediate sequel of this wonderful ox- citement is the insanity of Mrs, George Fisher? and another sister or two, who arc said to border that way. The affair has produced a profound sensation in church circles, and it s said that Bisbop Newman has been wired to come at once und investigate the matter. ACKING 10USES WILL RESUME 1t is given out to-day that the Silverhorns, of Sioux City, Ia., comploted a deal that again puis the packing houses of this ity in their hands. While the gentlemen named will be at the helm, prominedt busi- ness men of Lincoln have taken stock, and @ new company has virtually been anized with a capital stock of £300,000. Or, atleast 80 goes the tali, and it secms to have solid foundation. It will be remembered that the Silverhorns were formerly engaged in busi ness here, but_quit the houses because of a misunderstanding and dissatisfaction. It is stated that tLose differences have all been amicably adjusted, and that tne packing business here will bo carried on in conuec tion with that of the gentlemen at Sioux City, which will continue without change, as in the past. It is thought that this deal will give Lincolna more prominent live stock market, und if this proves to be truo the farmers of the tributary country will have good reason to rejoice. The packing houses will resume business within a week aud a new era of prosperity dawns. SUPREME COURT PROCEEDINGS. H. Gilkeson was admitted to practice, State vs Barnes. Dismissed. Scheel vs it K.

T'he case of Rathbun vs Peycke, involving title to school land, was also decided. This brings up the old school-land frauds, in which Augustus Dorn, it is alleged, was a factor. In 1854 Rathbua lived in Washing. ton county. He had dealings with Paycke of this city in a cheese-manufacturing company. Dorn, it is asserted, got up u scheme to fulsely _palm off certain school lanas on plaintiff. He was to give him deases on four sections of land at so much an acre, It was a scheme, savs the court, to defraud the plaintiff, but the sche fell through and Dorn fled the country. In the mean- time, Poycke nad” endorsed notcs for Rathbun and to bim trans ferred certain stock as security It was agreed in the arrangement that Peycke should take care of the notes ana ne did. ‘The object of the suit was to side the assignment of certain stock and have the court declaro that Peycke was a party to the puspiracy; also to cancel the leases given to Peveke and Dorn on the school lands, The judge stated that he could not_conceive why parties should enter into an effort to seeare low appraisement on lands without undue influcnce ou public officials. The testimony all through showed evidence of erooked and fraudulent dealings and that all part derstood that Dorn was to bo the maniy The evidence, how at Poycke was' not con neeted with Dorn in the illegal business, He simply endorsed the notes so that Dorn conld get the money on thom.

If the plantiffs so elect the case I be dismissed, though the court held t Rathburn has a right to redeem the stock, at whatever its value may be placed. Ouc of the attorneys thought that the cheapest way out for them would be to have the case dismissed. Judge Wakeley intimated that a re-hear- ing would be of no avail with him, He hal thoroughly studied every feature of the case.

SRion wwns the Best men oalied und the court appointed an attorney to de- fond him. All the other parties -were ar- raigned. Some of the Criminals. Judge Groff, who presides in the big court room and tries all the criminal cases, hds a long list on his docket to go through this term, and some of them have been hanging fire many weary and tedious months. The most sensational suit to come up, and which will undoubtedly go” to trial, is the one in which Elizabeth Biechler is charged of mur- der in the first degree. Inasmuch as the story of her bloody as well as dramatically tragic crime is still fresh in the memory of Ber readers, only a brief recital is necessary at this time. Early in the morning of November 17, last year, a pale looking woman dressed in blaclk, calied on Henry w. King, jr, at the Paxton hotel for an nterview, which alted in him dying a violent death and her incarceration for murder, Since that time the woman, Miss I3icchler, has occupiod a cell at the county I, and is now, with her friends, anxiously waiting to know what her fate will be. The information sets forth that she wil fully and deliberately made an assault upon her vietim for the purpose of killing tum, and succeeded. Great interest attaches to the case by rea son of a oertain mystery surrounding her ide and the lack of knowledge as to what the line of defense will be. The county attorney prodicts that her lawyers will cithe claim insanity or self-defense, consequentl he is ready to meet them. She would have u arraigned with the others this morning, but her attorney was not ready. Among the important- criminal cases booked for trial is one in which A, R. Sou i8 10 auswer to the charge of grand larceny.

Felton, for which he is now wait- ing to be put through the law mill, James Thomas is also booked in the county attorney’s register fora journey over the road. Burglary is the charge against him. About midnight of December 1,in a barn belonging to W. P. Mumaugh, he stole and cairied away a certain amount of goods. ‘Thomas will be called for trial to-morrow. John Volmer, the man who killed young g{ummu ata dance one Sunday night mors than a year ago, will be called for a new trial, His case, 1t will be remembered, was carried to the supreme court, and by that tribunal remanded to the district court for another hearing, Among the other prisoners now in the county jail awaiting to ansiver the chargo of crimes against them are Frank Elmove, for the larceny of a gold wateh and chain valued $115, from the person of B. A. Rowley; Bernard Grouss, for receiving stolen goods, the Garneau diamonds; Jawmes Bond, for rob- bery; Frank Bellamy, adultery; Johu Grady, H.
