DEATH OF A CLERICAL CELEBRITY.

The Rev. Alexander Heriot Mackonochie, who has
been on a visit to the Bishop of Argyll and the Isles,
died on Saturday afternoon at the residence of the
bishop, Ballachulish, N.B. The fact was announced
on Sunday at the morning service at St. Alban's,
Holborn, with which church he was formerly con-
nected. The deceased was educated at Wadham
College, Oxford, and was ordained in 1849, from
which time until 1852 he held the curacy of West-
bury, Wilts. From 1852 to 1858 he was curate of
Wantage, and for the four succeeding years of St.
George-in-the-East. In 1862 he was appointed to
the living of St. Alban's, Holborn, where the ritualitt'c
form of the services attracted so much notice
that in 1867 a prosecution was commenced
by Mr. Martin against Mr. Mackonochie, which,
in the early part of the following year, ended in a
verdict against the latter on the ground of the use of
incense, the mixing of water with the wine, and the
elevation of the elements in the sacrament. Mr.
Maekouochie appealed from this decision; but in
December, 1868, the case was decided against him,
and in the subsequent year he was censured by the
Privy Council for evading the judgment of the Court.
In November, 1870, Mr. Mackonochie was sus-
pended from duty for three months by decree of the
Privy Council for continued disobedience. In 1874
a new suit was commenced by Mr. Martin in the
Court of Arches against Mr. Mackonochie who was
cuspended for six weeks and ordered to pay the costs.
In April, 1881, the House of Lords affirmed a
further suspension of Mr. Mackonochie for three
years.
In December, 1882, the connection of Mr. Mac-
konochie with St. Alban's, Holborn, ceased. He re-
signed that living, as stated at the time, in obedience
to a request made to him by Archbishop Tait, shortly
before his death, and on the understanding that the
Bishop of London would not debar him from further
preferment in his diocese. Immediately afterwards
Mr. Mackonochie was appointed to the vicarage of St.
Peter's, London Docks, vacated by the Rev. R. A. J.
Suckling, whom the Dean and Chapter of St. Paul's
had appointed to !mewed Mr. Mackonochie at St.
Alban's, Holborn. The district of St. Peter's origi-
nally formed part of the parish of St. George-in-the
East, of which Mr. Machonochie had, previous to
his connection with St. Alban's, Holborn, been curate.
In 1883 Mr. Mackonoehie was, by a further:legalfpro-
ceeding, deprived of the living of St. Peter's, London
Docks. Since that time, although in ill.bealth, he
has been assisting in the service at St. Alban's, Hol-
born.

A COSTLY CAPTIVE.

The India Office, no less than the Government at
Calcutta, is, writes the London correspondent of the
Manchestsr Guardian, exercised a good deal at pre-
sent, I learn, about the affairs of the Bing of Oude,
who died recently at Calcutta. He and the
members of his family had about five thousand ser-
vants, many of whom had their families with them,
so that about ten thousand persons were in one
capacity or another resident about his palace and
dependent on him. How to provide for all these
was the problem. The Government has devised a
scale of gratuities for such of the King's servants as
will agree to return to Lticknow, and, further, a free
passage is to be given them. But the owners of the
huts in which many of these people live will not re-
linquish them, and it looks as if they will have to be
bought out also. In any event the removal will in-
volve the transfer of a whole town from Calcutta to
Lucknow. The debts of the King are said to be enor-
mous, and the claims from creditors still larger and
more numerous. It is anticipated that the cutting
down of the claims will be of a ruthless kind. Even
then, however, the balance will still be very consider-
able.

POLITICS OF THE RECESS. --

MR. DAVITT AND MR. BALFOUR.

Addressing a large gathering in the Free Trade
Hall, Manchester, on Sunday, Mr. Michael Davitt
replied at considerable length to the recent utterances
of Mr. A. J. Balfour, the Irish Chief Secretary. Ha
described Mr. Balfour's speech as one of factious
falsehoods, flippantly fabricated, and criticised tilt
statements made by Mr. Balfour at the election of
1885, showing that he was not above appealing for the
support a-, the time which he now denounced the
Liberals for having obtained. He contended that in
the moonlighting affray in which Head-constable
Whelan was killed, Mr. Balfour, through his police
had more to do in the perpetration of the crimo
than the National League. Mr. Balfour was a
political cad, who, instead of studying the Irish
question or the Irish people from any broad,
generous, or statesmanlika point of view, resorted
to sneers and innuendoes that the lowest pettifoggiag
lawyer would be ashamed to employ; Ho talked as
if the Irish difficulty had only begun with the Land
League, and acted as if the problem of Irish discon-
tent had never before confronted the powers ,a
English statesmen. Like a quack doctor, he tried to
persuade the public that he could cure a malady which
had baffled the skill of everybody else. Mr. Sullivan
was imprisoned because he owned a paper, and

DEAD IN THE SNOW.

Mr. Mackonochie, whose death is above announced,
was on a visit to the Bishop of Argyll and the Isles
(the Rev. J. Chinnery Haldane), at Aultshellach
House, Ballachulish. According to a correspondent,
on Wednesday of last week the deceased had a walk
along Loch Leven side, which he evidently enjoyed
very much, so on the Thursday morning he said he
intended to have a much longer walk, and asked for
some sandwiches, which were given him. He left at
eight o'clock, having a deerhound and a terrier with
him, passed Kinlochmore Lodge about noon, and was
seen by a keeper going in the direction of the bridge
which crosses the River Leven. As he did not
return in the evening some alarm was felt, and a
party was sent as far as Kinloch to inquire after
him. Nothing was known of Mr. Mackonochie there,
except that he was seen passing at noon. The night
was very stormy. On Friday a large party from
North Ballachulish, accompanied by the bishop, went
up, and, with all the shepherds and keepers, searched
the hills in all directions. The search was continued
all night and on Saturday till about two p.m., when it
was about to be abandoned in that part of the forest.
But just as Hugh and Duncan M'Coll, jun., of Kin.
loch, were crossing a wire fence near the spot where
the party had assembled, they noticed the deerhound
sitting beside a snow wreath in a hollow close to the
fence; and on going over they found the body lying
in the hollow and the two dogs lying beside it. The
bishop and the rest of the party, being near at hand,
were called to the spot, and arrangements were
made for carrying the body home from the
glen. The deceased, after passing Kinloch, had
gone along the road about six miles, and when
darkness set in he must have lost the road, for
he had gone about a mile and a half off the path
up the hill side. When he came to a wire fence he
evidently followed the fence until be arrived at this
hollow, which was surrounded by a heavy wreath of
snow, over which he could not go. This hollow was
very much trampled round and round. Being quite
exhausted, he evidently lay down, as his hand was
under his head. When found, the head and shoulders
were covered with snow. The body was taken to
Aultshellach House that evening, and on Tuesday
removed to England for interment.
Mr. O. Powell, secretary of the Church of England
Working Men's Society, received on Monday the fol-
lowing telegram from the Bishop of Argyll: "He lost
his way among the hills at night in a storm. I found
him, after a long search, lying in a snow wreath, with
a peaceful expression on his face."

THE FIRE IN THE STRAND.

After a trial which lasted three days Sena& the
Strand hairdresser, and his assistant, Goldfinch, have
been acquitted of the charge of wilful murder. So
strong was the cumulative evidence against Sere
that this verdict (remarks the London Echo) was
hardly expected. Sere, who till recently kept a
small barber's shop in Blackfriars-road was even then
in financial straits; in June last he took the shop in
the Strand, and utoved thither with three barrow-
loads of rubbishy furniture. At once he increased
his liabilities by the fitting up of the shop and the
ordering of stock, and though the whole value of the
property was not nearly a hundred pounds, he con-
trived to insure for seven hundred. Then he negoti-
ated for a new shop in Oxford-street at a rent
of nearly £2OO per annum, although a sheriff's officer
was put into the Strand shop, and his conversation
with acquaintances showed that his mind was con-
tinually running on fires and insurances. Before
quarter-day Serne's premises in the Strand, which con-
sisted of a very old house and shop that burned like
tinder, were consumed by fire, and two of his childress
perished in the flames, although an alarm was
quickly given, and m fire escape was only a stone's
throw distant. Several witnesses were called, who
declared that they saw several distinct fires burning
at once. Several witnesses who were living in neigh-
bouring houses deposed to hearing sounds of struggling
in Serne's bedroom, and a violent altercation
between him and his wife, but this evidence
was contradicted by Serne's daughters, and ap-
parently the hasty cry of a bystander, and a girl's cry
of " Maier" were mistaken by these witnesses. That
several of the jury were i-apressed with the strength
of the case against Sere, is shown by the fact that
four hours were occupied in deliberation. When
there is a difference of opinion in a jury at a murder
trial, those who are in favour of acquittal are almost
sure to prevail, for when all other arguments fail,
there is the benelt of any doubt, to which the accused
is entitled. We are not disposed to call in question
the verdict, but many a man has been hanged on tar
weaker circumstantial evidence.

At the Central Criminal Court on Monday morning
Mr. Justice Stephens said that, as there were ward-
motes and other City meetings taking place in London,
it would be inconvenient for the aldermen to attend,
and he therefore thought that the charge of arson
against Leon Sere and John Henry Goldfinch should
stand over till next sessions. He also should prefer
that another judge should try the case, and bring a
fresh mind to the consideration of the circumstances.
Mr. Lawless said his leader, Mr. Geoghegan, had in-
tended to apply for postponement, and they would
agree to the proposed course. The ease was then
ordered to stand over till next sessions.

LORD RIPON ON COERCION.

An anti-coercion meeting in connection with the
Western Division of the county of Somerset was held
at Taunton on Saturday. The Marquis of Ripon
said that the opinion of the country with regard to
Ireland now lies between a policy of coercion and a
policy of conciliation. There was no via media now.
They hai the policy of the Government on the one
hand, and the policy of Mr. Gladstone on the other.
Lord Hartington had now abandoned all idea of con-
trolling the policy of the Government, and he was
offering gratuitously and needlessly a thick-and-thin
support of her Majesty's Government, and handing
over those who might be inclined to follow him to the
tender mercies of the Tory party. Numbers of the
Unionists were coming back to the Liberal party.
There was among the staunchest Liberals a rising
revolt against a policy of coercion. There were many
of them who had come to the conclusion that they
never again would support a Coercion Bill brought
forward by any Government.

LORD SALISBURY AT DERBY.
ON WORKING MEN'S CLUBS.

Lord Salisbury paid a visit to Derby on Monday.
In the afternoon he opened the Beaconsfield Working
Men's Club, and in the course of a speech declared
that if any improvement had taken place in the
morals of the richer classes during the last century it
was largely due to the spread of properly constituted
clubs. Speaking of the political importance of clubs,
be advised working men to combine, to organise their
strength, and to unite in spreading principles which
were essential to the happiness of 1411 classes.

THE MARKETS.

MARK-LANE.
Business at Mark-lane has been quiet in tone Thenkeg
home-grown wheat in the leading markets of England and
Wales during the first 16 weeks of the season were 1,059,318
qrs, against 631,701 qr S last year, at an average of 29s 10d,
against 31s 3d per qr.; barley, 1,411,892 qrs, against 1,324,778

against 149,786 qrs, average 15s sd, against 17s 5d per qr.
English wheat moved oil quietly, at about ed per qr less
money. For foreign wheat the demand was inactive, at
about 6d lower. The flour market was dull, and about 3d
to 6d easier on the week. The barley trade was in a sluggish
state Malting produce sold slowly at late currencies;
grinding samples were tolerably firm on s; ot, but weak for
arrival. Oats sold quietly on former to. ms. Maize was
scarLe, and sold at .late prices. Beans and peas were quiet
at previous currencies.

METROPOLITAN CATTLE.
The cattle trade has been moderately active. Therehave
been liberal supplies available. The show of beasts was
again good, the quantity and condition being of the usual
Christtras character. Buyers were fairly numerous, but
the market could not be cescribed as animated. The best
Scots sold at 45 10d to Is per 81b. On the foreign side of
the market there were moderate supplies of beasts on offer
which moved off quietly at about the rates current last
weelf. The beef pens were tolerably well filled. Business
was rather slow. Prime small Downs made Is 4d per 81b,
but heavy sheep were rather difficult to get rid of.
Calves and pigs were quiet, on former terms.
Prices were as to'low : Coarse and inferior beasts, 2s 4d to
$s Od; second quality ditto, Is Od to 4s Od; prime large
oxen, 4s 6d to 4s 8d ; ditto Scots, Ic., 48 10d to Is Od;

Edward of Saxe-Weimar, who went to the Leinster
Hall, Dublin, the other night to see another Sullivaif
—the representative of brute force. That meeting
was only saved from being illegal by a pair of gloves.
He was glad that they could claim the gifted and
courteous Sullivan on their side, and they made Mr
Balfour and the Prince of Saxe-Weimar a present of
all the pupilists in America. (Loud cheers.) A reso-
lution protesting against the coercive policy of the
Government was carried with acclamation.

LORD GEORGE HAMILTON ON OBSTRUC-
TION.

Lord George Hamilton, M.P., addressing a largo
gathering of Conservatives held on Saturday night at
Sevenoaks, said the oast, session had been a con-
tinuous struggle against the forces of disorder and
lawlessness. He thought they could look with entire
satisfaction upon the policy they had pursued. As a
member of the Government, he said all honour and
credit were due to their supporters in the House of
Commons who subordinated all business and social
ties and stopped in the House night after night
in carrying on the business of the country
and in breaking down obstruction. They in-
tended to pass rules to prevent obstruction
during the coming session. It was intolerable that
in the House of Commons there should be tole-
rated language and manners which would not be
allowed in any decently conducted pot-house in the
country. The Gladstonians said they did not believe
that Ireland could be governed otherwise than by a
Parliament in Dublin. Supposing they gave the
Parnellite party a Parliament in Dublin for fear of
obstruction, did any one believe they would have got
rid of obstruction? There were many Radicals in
the House of Commons who were every bit as bad
Obstructionists as the Parnellites. The tupport
accorded to them animated the Government with
further courage to continue their task, in carrying
out which they knew they could rely on the Liberal
Unionists and the great mass of the intelligent com-
munity of the country.

STRANGE INCIEENT AT AN INQUEST.

An extraordinary scene oc`curred at a Coroner's
Court at Akenham, near Ipswich, on Tuesday. The
coroner (Mr. A. F. Yulliamy) bad intimated his
intention of holding a secret inquiry into the circum-
btances attending the death of a girl named Bertha
Wall, aged 16 years, a pupil at tho Ipswich High
School, whose dead body was found in a pond a few
days ago. Considerable local interest was manifested
n the case, the popular opinion being that the girl
bad been the victim of a -libertine, and the desire of
the coroner was to hush up the affair. Previous to
the arrival of the coroner the local representatives of
the press had taken their seats at the table, and after
the jury had been sworn, the coroner requested the
reporters to leave. The chief reporter of the Ease
Anglian Daily Times, however, declined, contending
that the Court had not been opened in proper form a""
cororer said it had been done in the us,' way, but
again swore the jury, reading the fu-in of proclama-
tion. He also stated that he acted under a judgment
of Lord fenterden, which conclusively conferred upon
him the power to exclude the public. The reporters
refused to leave, and the jury, taking their part, said
they should refuse to serve under the circumstances,
and rose in a body to leave the room. The coroner
then threatened to fine them, and, after an angry
altercation, the reporters still refusing to move, on
behalf of the freedom of the press, the chief constable
of the county was called in, and, by direction of the
coroner, removed them by force, a technical assault
being committed. The jury afterwards refused to
take the evidence of a witness unless the press were
readmitted, and the proceedings broke up amid a scene
cf great disorder. The coroner adjourned the inquiry
for a week.

THE INHABITED HOUSE DUTY.

The Chancellor of the Exchequer, with whom was
Sir Algernon West, on Tuesday received at the
Foreign Office a joint deputation of the Inhabited
House Duty Repeal Association, the Vestry of St.
James, Westminster, and other local bodies in London
and the country. Among those present were Sir
R N. Fowler M.P., Lord Henry Bruce, M.P., Hon.
G. Curzon, Mr. Handel Cosshatn, M.P., Mr.
R. Matlock, M.P., Mr. W. Sidebottom, M.P., and Mr.
Noble, M.P. Sir R. N. Fowler having briefly intro-
duced the deputation, Mr. Keevil, member of the
Vestry of St. James, Westminster, expressed regret
that no provision had been made in the Budget for the
relief of those who paid the inhabited house duty. He
complained that while shop property was assessed at
only 6d. in the pound, lodging-houses and houses used
by professional mea were assessed at 9d. in the
pound. What they desired was that this latter duty
should be reduced to the lower rate, and he had

com-
plained of the present system of collection and the
payment by the results, but was informed by Mr.
Goschen that the Inland Revenue preferred salaried
officers, and that the House of Commons had decided
against the change. Mr. Goschen further combatted
an impression that the duty was lower in some dis-
tricts because of the influence of members of Par-
liament. Dr. Althorn, Major Wieland (president
of the Inhabited House Duty Repeal Association),
Lord Henry Bruce, Mr. Noble, and others
having spoken, Mr. Goschen said that if
he had received the deputation before intro-
ducing the Budget he should have felt unable,
owing to the intricate questions involved, to have
dealt with the subject in the few weeks at his disposal.
Ile admitted that the tax was full of anomalies, but
• pointed out that if they granted exemptions in one
direction they would create grievances in others. His
opinion was that they could not deal with the tax
without taking the whole question of rating into con-
sideration, for local rates and Imperial taxes should
be considered as one great whole. He could not see
hia way now to made further exemptions without
creating further anomalies, and he pointed out how
difficult it was to find a method of dealing with the
tax upon which they were all agreed. For himself,
he looked for a large measure which would abolish all
exemptions. (Applause.) Sir R. N. Fowler thanked
the Chancellor of the Evehequer for receiving the
deputation, who then withdrew,

Th.) Governor of Norwich Castle has received from
the Home Secretary the Queen's command that the
execution of the sentence of death passed on 'Tones
Rivett be respited until further signification of her
Majesty's pleasure. Rivett, who now lies in Norwich
Castle, was sentenced for the murder of an officer
in Kenninghall Workhouse under oircunigtances
which led to the belief that the prisoner was insane.
He will be removed to Broadmoor Criminal Lunatic
Asylum.
A. shocking case was investigated by the Denbigh-
shire coroner on Saturday. It seems that a woman
named Griffiths' wife of a collier, living at Moss, near
Wrexham, left her four young children—the eldest
about eight years of age—alone in the house while she
went to a colliery bank to pick coal. The neighbours
heard the children screaming shortly afterwards, but
took no notice until the outcries became more alarm,
lug. The youngest child, aged two years, was found -
enveloped in flames. Death soon ensued.-
TWFED SALMON NET FISUING.—This Industry con-
tinues much about the same. The catches of salmon
have been good, but trout are scarce, and the takes of
fish are not improving. Two more grilse have been
landed since last report. Prices on Saturday were—
salmon Is. sd. and trout is. Bd. per 11b., as compared
with is. 7d. for salmon and is. 6d. for trout on the

always been difficult to use on account of their crabbed

THE FRANCO-GERMIN FRONTIER.
RELEASE OF €CEINA.EBEL.

In pursuancl of an order from the examining judge
at Strasburg, M. Schnaebel has been released, and
left at midnight by express train for Pagny, via Ars
and Noveant. The order for the release reached
Metz at nine o'clock in the evening, and M. Schnaebel
was liberated shortly afterwards. He moved Shoat
unimpeded in the refreshment room unlit midnight,
when he took a seat in the la,t carriage of the train
for Pagny, accompanied by the representative of the
imperial railways. The departure took place in the
quietest manner possible, there being scarcely twenty
persons at the station.
M. Schnaebel reached Pagny by the midnight train
from Metz, and was met by his wife and son at the
railway station. Some of the public awaiting his
arrival were informed that he was not in the train.
On arriving at Pont-a-Mousson, however, the train
was met by the whole population of the town, headed
by the municipality, and as it drew up at the plat-
form an immense shout arose of "Viva la Franca !
" Vive Schnaebei. " Indescribable emotion pre-
vailed. Madame Schnaebel and her son left the train
here, but M. Schnaebel proceeded to Paris in order
to render an account to his superiors of the details of
the Noveant incident. He refused to be interviewed
by any represent owe of the press, and conGned him-
self to declaring that he had been well treated by the
Germans.

The Paris newspapers on Saturday morning ex-
pressed satisfaction of the honourable character of
the settlement. While praising the wisdom and firm-
ness of M. Flourens, they declare that France should
redouble her vigilance, in order to avoid all surprises.
They further express the belief that M. Schnaebel and
Herr Gautsch will be both relieved of their posts.
M. Scbnaebel arrived in Paris on Saturday morn-
ing, and was immediately after received by M.
Goblet.

I a France has published a list of contributions to a
subscription which has been opened to present M.
Schnaebel with a diamond cross. Eleven members of
the family of Herr Gautsch head the list.
The semi-official Yorth German Gazette states that
the Emperor ordered the release of M. Schnaebel,
because it had been ascertained that it was in conse-
quence of an arrangement made with a German police
official that M. Schnaebel entered German territory,
where his arrest was effected. The journal adds that
such arrangements must be regarded in the light of
rafe-conducts, as without an undertaking of the kind
all official intercourse on the frontier would become
impossible.
