cided majority. The Republicans oil voted for
the ratification of the amendments, and so far a.
reports have been received, they indicate that
from 10 to IS per cent. of the Democratic vote
was in favor IF ratification. The Germans
voted about solid for the amendments. The
ratification Of the amendments dispenses with
an October election. placing the State election
ON the day of the Presidential election.

Murder Of an Insane Man by His Keepers.
At Pittsburg, Pa, on the 30 of March,
additional facts developed at the coroncr's in
vestigation relative to the murder of John
Goehring, inmate of tho Allegheny City alms
house, are, that the morning of July 9Th, s. s.
Crawford, in charge of the insane department,
found an Insane man named Wanswan. severe
" beating Goehring. Wanswan was locked
up, and Goehring ran into the dinng-r room.
Crawford called Coolhaf, half crazy inmate.
to assist him in taking Goehring back to the
room. Goehring resisted, kicking Coolhaf in
the stomach. CoolhaT was greatly angered
and returned the kick, knocking him down.
While Goehring was on the floor, held there
by Coolhaff, the latter asserts that Crawford
kicked Goehring on the head several times.
Finally they succeeded in getting him as far as
the bathroom, where he again became violent.
Coolhaf then seized the roller on which the
towels were hung and struck Goehring on the
head, knocking him insensible. He was then
taken to his room, where he died at 1880 p.
M, Crawford and two inmates burying the
body very quietly the next day. In the
monthly statement of the poor board Goehring
s reported as dying from mania potu. The
affair was kept quiet. but finally leaked out
through the medium of an inmate coming to
the city and getting drunk, and telling the
story. Crawford and Coolhaff will be arrested
on charge of murder.

"Tag, Rag, and Bob. .Tail.''

Some men are more nice than wise,
especially when asked to cooperate
with their social interiors. Once, at o
private meeting of gentlemen in En-
gland, this anti Christian squeamish-
ness obtruded itself, and was efectually
knocked in the head by q clergyman
present. The meeting had been called
to arrange for the organization of some
public society. Among the persons
proposed as fit members Of the Execu-
tive Committee were several tradesmen.
An aristocratic gentleman objected,
saying that the committee should be
highly respectable, and not made up of
rag, tag, and bob-tail."
Instantly the clergyman, the pious
but eccentric Rowland Hill, arose and,
extending his hands in the attitude of
prayer, exclaimed: ..rs
God bless tag-God bless rag-God
bless bob-taili" IT,. :. r.
Tho tradesmen were added to the
committee, without another word Of OBJ
lection.

The ENGLISH Elections.

According to cable returns up to April
2. in 2lS constituencies in Great British the lib
erals have elected 206 members, the conserva-
tives l22, and home rulers H. The liberals
have gained % seats and lost II, while the
home rulers show gain of 3seats. The Lon.
don Standard in its leading editorial says it
would be useless to ignore the question whcth.
er the liberals will be in possession OF ma
jority when parliament meets. The opposi.
ton has realized clear gain of fifty seats.
The Standard then points out that there is yet
no ground for supposing that the liberal ma
jority will prove to be independent of the
home rule vote.

precincts show victory for the Citizens
Union, their ticket receiving 16,339 votes
against 1926 for the workingmen. About
$500 votes are yet to be counted The result
