VOL. X. O’DONOYAYS CONDITION. THE DOCTORS PRONOUNCE ROSSA’S WOUND NOT DANGEROUS. Career of His Would-Ik* A<<suMin—An En* t-huaiaatie English Widow—Commenti of the New York Press—London Jubilant and Excited. Niw Year. Feb. A—At 5:30 o’clock Mon day afternoon O’Douovon Rosea was shot in front ©f the Htewart Building on Chain ben street, by a woman who was immediately ar rested and, Rossa taken to Chambers street hospital. He was shot in the back, under .he right shoulder. When the woman was brought to the station bouse she hatuDil to the police sergeant a five barreled nickel-plated thirty two calibre revolver, very coolly saying: *‘l guess they are all empty now. ” Bhe had fired five shots but only one had taken effect Hhe said she was a nurse and lived at No. 00 Clinton Place. Bhe came from England five monthi ago. At the hospital Rossa is reported to be getting along favorably. The woman who .shot him is named Lucille Ysult Dudley. She Is a widow and says her husband and two children are dead. Bbe is about twenty-five years old. She says she has been employed mm nurse in the principal hospitals of London and Faria She came to New York last Sep tember in company with two other young women. All were trained nurses and came here with the intention of starting a female hospital on a small scale. Finding the oppor tunity difficult they engaged as nurses. One of the trio was a Miss Chalmers. She had friends in Newark and the three went there. Afterwards Miss Cbalmer got a a place in Roosevelt hospital, New York, in 1 a few days later got her friend Mrs. Du . ey a position in the same institution. The su perintendent of the hospital says that while Mre. Dudley V*u» a good nur»t* she did not give entire satisfaction, and her actions were rather singular. Bbe was not popular with the other nurse* Bbe left suddenly saying she bad a “case" to attend to, but she went to Dr. Thomas’ private hospital in Lexington avenue, exhibited diplomas from London hospitals and secured immediate employ ment. Dr. Thomas says that shs was an excellent nurse, but did not get along well with the oth*c nurses, and after a month he let her go, to gether with Miss Chalmers, whom she hail induced the doctor to employ. The other nurses said that the two wooden acted strangely, but they could not specify in what particulars. They did not seek other com pany. From the Thomas hospital Mrs. Dud ley went tp Miss Leggett's home for working women, in Clinton Place, and boarded until last week, when she told the manager of the bouse that she had a case and would give up her room. Hhe went away, but came back Wednesday afternoon, saying, “My patient has died. Can you accommodate me again f Hhe was again given a room, for which she paid in advance until Tuesday. On that afternoon she returned the key of her door the manager saying she was going out and did not think stie would return and would send for her bag gage. Hhe seemed excited and nervous. 1 Did p!:" ever allude while here to her past domestic r Tattoos or life V' asked a reporter of the manager of the home. **Bbe toki o>e she had been married ami had two children, but that all had died abroad. Her father, she said, was a non-commissioned office in her majesty's cavalry service, and that she had repeatedly acted as trained nurse in London hospitals and also In Paris. Hhe also said that she had diplomas from various institutions, nod 1 believe she ha> shown them to some of the other young women. Hhe was a thoroughly accomplished woman, an i her manners and speech betokened a thoroughbred English woman of keen mind and bright perceptions She is intensely patriotic, and often spoke of the English soldiers. Her conversation at times was sar castic and cutting when shaking of those who were making war on the English people. On© day she said she much more enjoyed the hospital work abroad than the nursing she hrd been dping here. She declared that she received $25 a week there, while her pay here was only S2O a month " In tbs parlor df Miss Leggett’s home a Levy of young ladies were ta.king about Mrs. Dudley s deed. “Hhe was almost crasy with excitement a week ago Sunday,” said one, “when she heard of the explosions in London. She said Amer ica should give up Rossa to England, and when she beard of the recent explosion on Grand street she was again very much ex cited.” A reporter of the American press called at Chamber* street hospital and in answer to Ins inquiries as to the condition of O’Don >van Jtoss*, the physicians state! he had passed a good night, sleeping most of the time and was now resting easily. His condition is much improved. The doctors do not allow anyone to converse with him, asserting that complete rest is imparntivA They have not found the bullet. The doctors niy that Rossa is in a cheerful mood and expresses himself t - nfldent. of a speedy recovery. Several relatives and friends called but in deference to the wishes of the'doctor refrained from talk ing to the wounded man. Following is the physician's latest bulletin as to the condition of the patient: Bullet entered Rossa’h back just over centei left shoulder blade, can be traced in upward and inward direction about four inches; w <und in flicted is flesh wound, and in no way da *gerous; ball not been extracted. Chas. A. Jerset, M. D. Mrs. Dudley was brought before Justice Patterson, at the Tombs police court, charged with shooting with intent to kill. She stood in a semi-circle of eager on-looker* unshrinkingly. The prisoner, although she gave her age as twenty-five, looked scarcely more than twenty. Her face is oval, the ha» deep blue eyes with silky black lashes, fuiJ crimson lips, pearly teeth, straight noee, sensitive nostrils, and a soft round chin. She seemed wholly unmoved by the situa tion. Hon. A W. Butt* represented th« prisoner and went on to state that for tlx present his client wished to remain mute with regard to the charge against her, and would plead neither guilty nor not guilty. The judge stated that he must remand thi prisoner to await the result of Room's injury, which be said was rega xied as slight. Al this information the woman suddenly looked up and her color deepened, her lips parted and her eyes flashed angrily, and it was evi dent she was sorry to learn that her bullet had not reached a vital part. Hhe did nol appear the least rufltad, but hastily mad* preparations for her return to the police sta tioo. Accompanied by her counsel she wai followed from the court by a large crowd and did not seem to be concerned in th* least, but chatted pleasantly with her es corta The headquarters of the United Irishmen Roma's paper, are tightly closed, the dooi being locked with a huge padlock. Roms's Career. Niw York. Feb 4. —lt is just twenty-sevei years since O'Donovan Rossa became a pub lie character. He was then keeping a gen #ral store in Skibbereen. Ireland. Hi Sunday Columbus Times. proper name was Jeremiah O’Donovan, but there were so many O’Donovans that he took the namt) of Rossa from his birthplace, Ross Curbery. Rossa was an early convert to Fenianism, having been sworn in the broth erhood in 1853. He put his heart into the '•ork, recruited a regiment some hundred strong in and about Skibbereen, and formed a literary ass iciation, which he called the Phceuix Club, in compliment of O’Mahony, whose branch of the conspiracy was known as the Phceuix association. Rossa carried on the conspiracy business with much skill, Lul in 185 S he aud a number of his associates were arrested, tried and convicted. When they were released Rossa went to Loudon aud established the Irish People, a weekly news paper. Shortly afterwards he came to thi* country, but returned again after a short stay on this side of the water. In September of the same year the Irish People was taken possession of by the police, and Rossa aud many other leaders were ar rested. At the trial that followed he made himself conspicuous above hit* fellows by his audacity ami energy. In return he got the heaviest sentence of all—penal servitude for life. When released in 1871 he was an altered man. He seemed to have lost altogether his rough, but hearty, kindliness, though his de viation to the cause of Ireland was no less ardent. It was natural therefore, that w htu be came to America he should lie made the loader in a strong party of American Fenians, and that they should exceed all others factions in the steady ferocity of their purpose. A few years after he came here he succeeded in raising enough money to start the United Irishman, of which paper he is still the edi tor. He has always ad v oca ted through the coiumns of his papers unceasing and tireless warfare on England, in every imaginable way, though no one has yet been able to iden tify him w ith any of the dynamite explosions, assassinations, or other crimes Committed against England. Ri.jssa stands for the most radical faction of those which assume to represei l the cuuse of Iril nd. He has always beei the leader oi the most aggressive and vindi; five men, and has as many bitter enemies an ong the Irish in this country as he has fr.enuw, for tlie reason that they believe no good can come of bis way of fighting What the New York Papers Bay. Niw York, Feb. 4 —The Hull says: “As sassination in any form is a bad thin,-, but it must be conceded that Rossa has left nothing undone to prepare the public to face Ids taking off with something akin to resigna tion.” The Herald says: “While we must all re gret the commission of any crime, we must also recognize the fact that so long as the law tolerates such doings as those of Rossa, there is no reason to be surprised if they provoke violence.” The World says: “Rossa has learned that in carrying on a murderous warfure against England he has expostxi himself to great per sonai danger. ‘All they that, take up the sword shall perish by the sword.’ ’ The Tribune says: “In no case is there likely to be much sympathy for Rossa. He has preached the doctrine of assassination for years, and it is not surprising, however much the fl ien !* of law and order may regret it, that some one should take him at his word.' The Times says: “Rossa must have hail new light shed within the past few hours upon the rightfuiiiess of private war. It is obviou/ that smothered war cannot be waged all oi one side.” London Jubilant.

COLUMBUS, GEORGIA, THURSDAY MORNING, FEBRUARY 5. 1885. ; CAMPBELL SUSPENDED. , FINAL DECISION IN THE CELEBRATED DISBARMENT CASE. [ 1 Findings of the Judges on Ail the Count*—* The Noted Criminal Lawyer Found , Guilty on the First ( Large— > Mulcted in the Costs. I Cincinnati, Feb, 4. — The announcement that a decision was at hand in the great dis i barment ca»e of Counsellor T. C. Campbell ; served to pack the court room in the Albany Building with an eager throng, among whom the legal fraternity largely predominated, and when at length Judges Maxwell, Robin sou and Connor took their seats the expec tancy and suspense was acute, and a hush fell on the crowded court room. Mr. Campbell took his seat at the bar, im mediately confronting his judges, and listened unmoved to the reading of the decision in his , case. In the preamble, which was of considerable length, were laid down the rules of law, upon which the court proceeded. The charges were then read seriatim and the decision on each rendered. Below they are summarized: The first, called the J. H. Minnemeyer charge, was recited, the gist of the charge be ing that Campbell, by threats and promises, forced or induced Mrs. Minnemeyer to pay SI,OOO to Walter Gow on penalty of Miime meyer s conviction and imprisonment. It is virtually a charge of comi>ouudmg a felony. The testimony ws. rehearsed at length and deemed insufficient to sustain the charge, but was applied to the suppliinent&ry charge that Canhpbell list'd his official position as prosecu tor to effect the release of Minnemeyer and the return of his embezzled funds to Gow. Os this he was found guilty of misconduct in volving m >rul turpitude. The second is the Hoffman jury charge, in which a conspiracy to influence jurors is alleged. The summary of testimony on tins charge was also of great length. The . suspicious matter in the whole affair, nccord | lug to the court, w as the list of jurors handed , to Moses, which, unexplained and obscured by Drew, was the little fire that had made a great blaze. Drew reminded the court of ths man who fired the temple of Diana, llis ac tion was evidently reprehensible, but he evi dently did not expect to start such a confla gration as has sprung from it. But the fact* do not establish a conspiracy. It was, how ever, censurable in Campbell that ho should enter a saloon with two jurors, and drink with them. The court found the charge not sustained. j Charge third alleges that Campbell made affidavit that Kline, one of the jurors in th© Hoffman case, was not a client of his. The testimony did not satisfy the court that Campbell had sworn falsely, but in denying the bill for services introduced in the case ho j had done more to affect his credibility than ,by anything else. The court never hod any i doubt that the bill was genuine. | The fourth charge alleges that Campbell, with a view to defraud the United Htates, by j representing that one Thomas Mead was nol the Thomas Mead who had gone on the for 1 felted recognizance of one William Munning. | The testimony naiTowed down to a single statement bj Campbell that Mead was not the man, ami that was iu a measure explained by other testimony that it was a simple off liaud statement of a rumor. This was not sustained. The sixth charge alleges that Campbell sub orned on Jacob I‘feffor to testify falsely that a note was made on the lUth of November, 1878, -some time before, when in fact it was made during a trial for use in a whisky suit against one Deffendahl, th* following March. Nearly an hour was expended in summing up the testimony under this charge. The conclusion arrived at was that neither Pfeifer n<>r Deffendahl could be believed on oath, that their statements are conflicting, and, that in fact, Bateman nor anybody who heard of the charge against Campbell, be lieved it It would not be just to the respond ent nor safe to the b&r to find respondent guilty. I The eighth charge alleges under several counts that Campbell did uniawfu ly en deavor to have h.s friends aud assoc iates, de pendent* an l clients, among others Michael Gaeb, H. A. Phillips and C. T. Dollaban, im panneled as jurors, for reward. The truth or j falsity of the count resting upon the teuti | niony of Gaeb as against that of Campbell supported by Chas. H. Davis, it was found insufficient to sustain it. The conclusion was, however, reached that Phillips was a client of Campbell's, but not such an one as oouid L inciu led within his promise to the court to designate any juryman called who might be hiM client, but yet one whom as an honorable attorney be should have not permitted to sit upon the jury. | The court was of the opinion that Dollahan answered evasively in regard to his relations to Campbell, but that the relations between him and Campbell were not of a character to warrant the court in doing more than stating that Campbell’s action was not up to the standard of au honorable attorney. The charge was not sustained. The court found on the whole case the re spondent guilty as follows: We find the de fendant guilty on the first charge, but in view of the fact that it extends into th* remote past, when the respondent was a young prac titioner, the court is disposed to leniency, and sentence him to the payment of the costs of the trial and ten days suspension. Judge Maxwell dissented from the opinion of the majority of the court. He agreed with their summary of testimony, but not in the , conclusion at which they arrived. As the last sentence fell from ths lips of Judge Maxwell, Mr. Morrill sprang to his feet and asked a stay of execution till counsel for defense could prepare a bill of exceptions and file a petition in error to the supreme court. Campbell, his face white with ©xcitement, hissed between his teeth to Morrill, bis coun sel: “This verdict will stand against me all my life, i don’t core if it is not sustained by the evidence.” Judge Maxwell interrupted Morrill to say that the term of the oourt will expire with the week, and that the suspension could not there fore, exceed that limit Mr. Morrill—Well, we must have time to prepare our bill and file our petition, should we desire to do so. Campbell—We do desire it Morrill —We desire a stay of execution. The court certainly can order it Judge Maxwell—We desire time to consult as to our powers in the premises We can do this. We will delay the entry for one day. This was agreed to. The Death Roll. New York, Feb. 4 —Dr. Edwin Samuel Gifford, well known as a physician and edi tor of medical journals, died Monday in his residence at Ocean Beach, N. J. The Ohio State Journal has had return* from sixty-two counties of that state, giv ing gubernatorial preferences.

Washington, Feb. 4.—The desk of Sena tor Riddlebergei was decorated by a large, handsome Irish harp constructed of rare flowers. Lengthy certified extracts from the jour nals of bdth houses of the New York legisla ture were hud before the senate as being the credentials of William M. Evarts, elected senator from New York in place of Mr. Lapham. Mr. Hoar, from the committee on privileges and elections, stated that it was the opinion of that committee that a simple certificate from the executive that on a curiam day A or B was elected United Htates senator for •uch a term was all that was necessary in the way of credentials. The chair slated, as a matter of fact, that the papen just read con tained no certiflrate from the governor, as required by the act of congress. On motion of Mr Hoar what purported to be the credentials were efrrred to the committee on pi vileges and elections.

Another Alleged Dynamiter—Portugal in Africa —Victory for the French at Rolling. LONDON, Feb. 4.—The suspicious person who has been loitering iu the neighborhood Clerkenwell prison ever since the suspect Cunningham s confinement there was l . rested and brought before a magistrate. He stated that his name was Goodyear and described himself as a laborer but refused to give any le ails as to where he stopped or from whence he came The detectives have been watching Goodyear for some time and his movements in and around the jail havo been carefully noted. They refrained from taking him into custody iu the hope that he might afford a Mue tending to further slidw Cunningham’s romplicity iu the conspiracy to wreck the public buildings of London. One of the Jeteclives testified that the prisoner on one accafeion approached the box of the governor of the prison, in which all communications for inmates are deposited and dropped some papers into it. The box was subsequently opened and the papers examined A long list of numerals was found on the paper and those, in the belief of the police, wore the characters of a cypher message to Cunning ham, to whom the papers were addressed, from his friends and co-conspirators Good year protested his innocence throughout the testimony of the policeman, and repeatedly interrupted the proceeding by his remarks. At the conclusion of the testimony Goo 1 year voluntarily informed the magistrate that, lie bud been only recently released from an in sane asylum, and that he was iu no way con nected with the dynamiters. The police denounced tins latter statement of the prisoner as a fabrication, and asserted that instead of having been released from u lunatic asylum, he was recently re.eased from & prison, whore lie had served a term for a penal offense. The police urged that the prisoner be remanded, saying that they had no doubt he was an accomplice of Cunning ham. The magistrate after receiving the testimony stated tlmt while as yet there was nothing shown which would directly connect the prisoner with Cunninghams crime enough had been adduced to wnrrant his re inand him. and the prisoner was accoruingly remanded for a further hearing.

THE TERRIBLE MALADY THAT ANNU ALLY ATTACKS A FARMER And Always on the Same Hour Every Year. Kissing Wife and Children Good-Bye at the Approueli of the Dread Visi tation— Science at Fault. Erik, Pa., Feb. 4—Win. B. Furgeson, a prominent, farmer of SoringfieLi, this county, is the victim of a mstressiug malady w hich ini til •* medical skill, ami bus been the topic of extended discussion in medical journals. Mr. Furgesou is a farmer, and is tho .ather of a bright and intelligent family of chili Iren, lie is forty-seven years old, of fine physique, aud excellent address. His trouble begun ! when early in hm teens. While doing Lbs chores on his father's farm be was seized with ! a violent paiu in his right hand. Bathing and other treatment gave him relief in ths course of nil hour and a half. Pre cisely a*, the same hour (7 o’clock) on the followit g evening he was again attacked, the pat oxysins continuing as before for an hour and a haif. In tne following February, one year afterward, tho malady appeared again in a more violent form. Every year since then he has, with one exception, suffer ed from an attack, the exception being the year he spent in California, but he attributed bis relief that year to the change of climate. Ho has never had the paroxysms in warm weather except once, aud that was ia Cali fornia during an usually cold spell iu August and then hm sufferings were of short dura tion. A number of physicians paid a visit to the home of Mr. Furgerson on Monday evening last, and found the unfortunate man prepar ing for the return of the spasms. Mr. Furge son was reclining on the bed when the visitors entered. He conversed cheerfully until about haif past 0 o’clock, when the malady began to manifest itself in the right hand, which he opened and closed. In a few minutes the left hand became affected, and the sufferer began to twist aud pull tho fingers. As the hour of 7 approached the manip ulation of the fingers became more and more active. Mr. Furgerson explained that there was a feeling of numbness in the hands aud a prickling sensation in tho fingers, as though they were in that, condition commonly described as “asleep.” These sensutions be gan in the right ha id, just as they di.i more than thirty veare ago. This numbness was followed by shooting pams similar to electric shocks, each succeeding pain becoming se verer. Up to t his time there was some twitch ing of the muscles, but no cramping. At five minutes to 7 Mr. Furgeson arose, and, walking dejectedly to the sitting room, which had been cleared of furniture by Lis wife, he divested himself of coat aud boots, buttoned his vest tightly, kissed his wdfo and children affectionately, aud then dropped down upon a buffalo robe stretched on thf floor, A most immediately he began to roll from side to side, wringing his hands and throwing his arms out at full length. These motions wu o accompanied by moans, at first almost inaudible, then stronger as the mo ! lions were accelerated. Suddenly there was a quiver, and then, like a flash, the writhing body of Furgeson was lockod in a ball, with the head between the rneos, and all as still as death, without any judication of life. This was tho beginning >f a series of spasms which lasted over two pours The first spasmodic action lasted two minutea, then the muscles relaxe i, and the sufferer threw- himself wildly and con vulsively about, shouting expressions of pain which arose to shrieks of agony. At no tuns did ho lie in one (Kjeition a minute. Hi* limb© were drawn up, with tho 3ole of his f(X>t pressed firmly against the abdomen from one to tux minutes at a time. When the pains reached the head the sufferer seemed to lose ail conscious ness. During this period lie seined to be liv boring un lt*r the de union that lie was tioiiig pursued. (Suddenly his right eye became af fected and he made desperate efforts to gouge it from its socket. These periods of excruci ating agony lasted from one to ten minutes, and while th y continued the sufferer emitted noises, first like the yelping of a dog and then like the hissing of a snake. When the parox ysms end, the victim lies motionless am* ex hausted The shortest period was four day* aud the longest twenty-three. Mr. Furgeson is sometimes attacked with these paroxysms twice a year, but usually onoe only. In the latter case they law* twics as long. They invariably begin at 7p. m., lasting from one and a half to two hours, in sjielis of from fifteen to twenty minute* at the outset, and increasing until the climax is passed. At one time tho victim was kept under the influence of liquor, aud twice |K>werful anaesthetics were used with I a view to strving off the attacks. This treatment, was immediately followed by terrific paroxysms, which continued ail ( night with greatly increased severity. Hop baths m.d electricity have been tried, but in vain, it was suggested with some plausi bility that inasmuch as the attacks do nol come on in summer a warm climate might furnish tlie long sought for remedy. Although Mr. Furgerson has been ex amined by medical college faculties and thi gkiliei medical fraternity of all the Heighten ing cities, no one is able to suggest a remedy. The unfortunate man ha* almost sjient hi* fortune in seeking relief. During tho mouth* intervening between the attacks he enjoy* good health and woras his farm. Thi* yeai ho spent the summer in Michigan. Thi cause of his terrible affliction cannot U solved. A Passenger Kate War Imminent. 8t IjOUIB, Feb. 4.—For some months past tho i enn yivania railroad has been selling tickets to New York at an agreed rate of while the other lines have charged $lB.
