YOUNG IRVING TIRED OF LIFE.

 

 

 

l‘he Attempt at Suicide of the Great
Actor’s Son Fails.

LONDON, Jan. 8.——Telegrams received here

" . from Belfast say

that Lawrence Ir-
ving, the second
son of Henry Ir-
ving, the actor,
who accidentally
or purposely shot
himself after at-
tending a rehear-
. sal of “The Mer-
chant of Venice,"
' is progressing f..-
' vorably. He is not
in immediate dan-

 

ger now. The
in charitable opinion
LAWRENCE IRVING. formed of the

case is that the young actor, who is most
ambitious and desirous of succeeding in his
profession, has overworked himself and
that he is consequently suffering from ner-
vous prostration.

Young Lawrence seemed more cheerful
than usual after the rehearsal referred to,
and nobody imagined for a moment that
anything was Wrong with him until Mr.
Hippisley, a brother actor, heard the report
of a revolver in the room occupied by young
Irving.

When Hippisley burst open the door he
found Irving writhing with agony across
the bed, with blood streaming from a wound
in his right breast.

Henry Irving was playing the character
of Cardinal Wolsey in “Henry VIE” at the
Lyceum theater when a dispatch contain-
ing the sad news was handed to him.
Though deeply affected Hem'y Irving man-
aged to maintain his composure and con-
tinued throughout the evening to evoke
loud applause by his masterly personation
of the prelate fallen from power.

SlNlTllRlllll SWORN IN

NO Objection Made to His Taking
His Scat.

SPEAKER CRISP STILL ILL.

No Danger of a Fatal Termination Is

Believed to Exist—The House Kills
the Senate’s Joint Resolution) for
the Relief of Russia.

WASHINGTON, Jan. S.—Senator David B.
Hill, of New York, was sworn in at noon.
N o objection was made by any of the sena—
tors present. There was some expectation
that objection would be made by some Re-
publican member of the committee of privi-
leges and elections, but this did not happen.
The Republicans have decided that there is
ho legal ground for o‘. ‘jection in the fact that
Senator Hill allowed more than a month to
elapse after the assembling of congress be—
fore he appeared to take his seat.

Senator Hill held an impromptu levee on
the Democratic side of the senate prior to
the opening of the proceedings. He occu-
pied a seat near the entrance to the cloak
room, next to that formerly occupied by
Mr. Paine, 01: Ohio. and his desk was piled
up with beautiful long stemmed cut roses.
As soon as the journal had been read, Mr.
Hiscock said: “Mr. President, David B.
Hill, a senator from the state of New York,
is present. I suggest that the oath of office
be administered to him.” Escorted by Mr.
Hiscock. Mr. Hill advanced to the desk and
was sworn in.

Places for the Senator.

Mr. Cockrell announced the resignation of
himself on the committee of emigration, of
Mr. McPherson on the committee on terri-
tories, of Mr. Blackburn on executive de-
partments and of Mr. Voorhees on relations
with Canada, and asked that Mr. Hill be
appointed on those committees in place of
these gentlemen. It was so ordered. Mr.
German resigned from the committee on
relations with Canada in favor of Mr. Col-
quitt. An unusually large crowd saw
Senator Hill take the oath of office. After
the event occurred Vice President Morton
shook hands with the new member of the
senate, who went back to his seat. He was
surrounded by a group of fellow senators
and members of the house and for a short
time held quite a reception. There were so
many members of the house anxious to
grasp the new senator’s hand that Repre-
sentative Catchings, of Mississippi, was
obliged to form them in line. The hum of
voices making congratulatory remarks be-
came so loud that the vice president was
obliged to rap for order. Senator Hill took
his seat and the ordinary business of the
senate proceeded as usual.

Among the bills offered were the follow-
ing: By Mr. Vance, providing for the erec-
tion of a monument to the Revolutionary
general, Nathaniel Greene, on the site of the
battlefield of Guilford, N. C.; by Mr. Quay,
ajoint resolution with regard to the im-
provement of the harbor of Philadelphia;
by Mr. Pefi‘er (by request), a. bill providing
foraloan of money to the farmers of In-
diana; by Mr. Cullum, a bill to regulate com-
merce carried on by telegraph.

Speaker Crisp's Condition.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 8,—Speaker Crisp’s-
condition is such as to excite some alarm,
though he is not considered in immediate
danger. Meanwhile the Democrats of the
house express the belief that in his absence
the bitterness engendered by the speaker-
ship contest is being wiped out.

In the house the senate joint resolutions
to provide for the transportation of the
food contributions for the starving peas-
antry of Russia was laid on the table by
the Democratic majority and thereby de-
feated.

Among the bills introduced were the fol-
lowing: By Mr. Hermann, of Oregon, amend-
ment to the constitution for election of
United States senators by a direct vote of
the people; to pension soldiers of the Indian
wars: to erect a fish hatching station in
upper Columbia.

By Mr. Cummings. of New York, a bill
to add the following section to the alien con-
tract labor law:

“Sec. 9, That in the exceptions to this

act the term ‘artists’ shall be construed as

referring to sculptors, portrait or landscape
painters, eminent musical conductors, emic
nent solo performers on musical instruments

and eminent vocalists, and not to organized.

bands of music or orchestras.” The bill
represents the desires of the musicians’ or-
ganization.

Springer’s Son for Clerk.

The house committee on ways and means
organized by the election of Ruter W.
Springer, of Springfield, Ills. (a son of Chair-
man Springer), as clerk. Adjourned until
Monday.

Three bills for the free coinage of silve
were also introduced. »

Rev. Howard DIcQueary to Marry.

PITTSBURG, Jan. 8.— .ev. Hovvard Mc-
Queary, who was expelled from the Episco-
pal church for heresy, was at the Mononga-
hela House yesterday. He said he was on
a sentimental mission, and was going to
Harrisonburg, Ya, to marry the daughter
of Judge Harris. His intended bride is a
beautiful girl, and the fact that her hus—
band-to-be is an expelled heretic has ap-
parently had no dampening effect on her
love for him.

BIrs. Chapman in Court.
BROOKLYN, Jan. 8,—Mrs. Cora Chapman,
the wife of the actor, Chapman, who was
shot and wounded several weeks ago by
Herbert Searvant, a nurse, who was attend-
ing her deranged husband, made a com-
plaint of feloniousassault against Searvant,
who was remanded for the action of the
grand jury.
Kicked Her to Death.
ALLENTOWN, Pa, Jan. 5,—0wing to the
defendant’s youth the grand jury at Allen-
town ignored the bill against Willie Kutzler,
aged ten years, charged with involuntary
manslaughter in kicking Emma Hallman,
causing her death, and recommended that
the boy be committed to a reformatory.

Abductor King Indicted.

KANSAS CITY, Jan. 8.——-The case against
Albert King for abduction of Banker Beal’s
child, was dismissed in Justice Shannon’s
court. King was at once held on a bench
warrant issued by the criminal court, which
is an indication that an idictment has been
found against him.

Saved from the Sleep of Death.

SOUTH AMBOY, N. J., Jan. 8.-A watch-
man on the bridge here discovered John
Fisher, of New London, Conn., sleeping
between the tracks with $400 on his person.
If Fisher had slept a few minutes longer he
would have been run over by a fast freight
train.
