the motion would spread dismay through
out the country. Dr.. Kenealy spoke
three hours. He was followed By Mr.
Whalley, who seconded the motion. Sir
Richard Baggalay opposed the appoint-
ment Of commission, for which thsre
was not the slightest ground Of justifica-
ton. The observations alleged to have
been made BY the Chief Justice were
grossly misunderstood and misinterp reted.
Mr. Whalley remarked the house seem-
ed to be interested in the suppression Of
"A inquiry which would lead to the expos
ure Of Catholic conspiracy against the
Tichborne claimant.
Sir Henry James, who was attorney
general under the late Gladstone minis-
try, denounced the motion rs an attack
on the jury system, and declared the com.
mission asked for unprecedented.
Mr.. Disraeli said DR.. Kenealy's speech
was thrice told tale. The charges Of
made against the chief justice
were entirely unsupported. Abiding to
DR.. Kenealy, he regretted that talented
man, under an Authorization; had Destroy

that the recent publications to the effect
that the resignation of the Secretary Of the
Interior had been asked by the President
on account Of his practices, or for any
reason, and that the Assistant Secretary
was cognizant Of the facts, are entirely
without foundation. The statement that
Gen. Cowan had been consulted In regard
to the succession is, he says, equally UNI
true. and further that he knew nothing

other country road and bridge, near
Keigsbury pond. This wss snapped from
its foundations almost at the approach of
the waters and carried away.
On the level srace between this road

The laat bridge was swept away about
seven o'clock yesterday morning. One
body was swept down on the food but it
was supposed to be that of man for
some months missing, and so far as is
known no lives have been lost by the

have been known to the son of such a
man that his father, when he first expe-
rienced the pride of paternity, was q
member of the then great commercial and
banking firm of Prince, Ward & King, in
New York.
It was regarded, indeed, at the time,
more than thirty years ago, very bril-
liant match when the loved and accom-
plished Mcdora Grymes married the ele-
giant, witty. and wealthy young Sam
Ward of the great English firm. Medora
was the pettcd daughter of our great law
yer, John 81. Glymes, who for more than
forty years was regarded the head of eur
bar. The older members of our bar will
remember with what bride and affection
the great advocate used even in the midst
of trial in court to draw from his pocket
his gold snuff.box, and gaze upon the
lovely medallion painted on it in ivory,
with the inscription az Msd0ra a son psre.
Upon this daughter the old lawyer law
ished all his love and devotion. For the
rest of the world he manifested little re-
gard, charity, or indulgence. Indeed. he
was regarded, somewhat unjustly, as a
misantrophe. He certainly was . merci-
less satirlst. But the utterance of the
name Of his darling Medora never
failed to dissipate all his sourness and
gloom, and call forth all the tenderness
Of his nature. She was the daughter Of
mother from whom her father had long
been separated. That mother is now the
claimant under the will of her grandson.

Here is another example of the longev-

Grymes was the gay and beautiful widow
of the first Governor Of Leuisiana, W.
C. C. Claiborne, to whom this province
of Louisiana was delivered IN 1904. Gov.
Claiborne vas favorite of President
Jefferson, and had voted for him as
member of Congress, and, receiving the
brillisnt position of territorial Governor
of Louisiana, bore prominent part in
the organization and defense Of this
State. No public official was held in
greater respect by q people than was
Gov. Claiborne. Marrying his second
wife, beautiful Creole, he died a few
years after retiring from the gubernato-

children, who row survive. Among these
are Mrs. M. Marigny and Mr.. Claiborne,
late clerk of the United States Court in
this State.

In the British House Of Commons, Fri
day evening, the I'D inst, Dr.. Kenealy
rose and moved that royal commission
Be appointed to investigate the circum-
stances Of the Tichborne case. In pow.
erful speech in support Of This resolution
Kenealy alluded to the growing dissatisfsc-
tion at the result ofthe trials and the man
n@ in which they had been conducted by
the bench. Nothing short Of . royal
commission Of enquiry would content
the people Of Eneiand, who were
convinced that justice had not been
done. He stated he had received
effect. The discomfort had grown into .
torrent which was pouring over the land.
The late ministry partly owed itsd0wniall
to its conduct. With regard to
the Tichborne case he asserted he
had positive proof that the chief Justice,
Sir Alex. CockEofn, in society, while the
trial was in progress, sad he would give
the claimant fifteen years imprisonment.
He spoke IN severe terms Of the Petten
dseigh forgeTieE ard sisted that the
elaimant was unable TO call more vYtness-
e for the lack Of funds. The penalties
for contempt Of court had beea
