A THOROUGH VILLAIN.
Thief, Forger and Wife Prisoner

Thief, Forger and Wife Prisoner
BOSTON, March 17.-Homer Wellington who
lately withdrew from the firm of Utley &
Boynton, prominent commission merchants of
this city, was arrested today at the instance of
his father-in-law, Mr. Boynton, who charges
him with various defalcations while a member
of the firm amounting to $4,000 Or $4,000, and
with the forgery of notes. He was held in
bail today on three charges. For some months
past members of Wellington's family at Cam
bridge have been seriously i'll at various
periods, the disease being called the gastric
fever by the physicians. His infant son died
some weeks ago and lately his wife was taken
ill., Her suspicious were aroused and she
saved some oat meal which her husband had
prepared for her. 1t has been analysed and
enough arsenic found in it to poison ten per-
sons. Mrs. Wellington owes her life to an
overdose. The detectives state that Yelling
toms infatuation for another woman was the
possession when arrested Wellington has
confessed that he had appropriated the money
of Utley Y Boynton, but denies poisoning his
family. He stated that friend had brought
him some arsenic to poison a cat and that he
threw away the balance last December.
At this point the detective put his hand into
Wellington's inside coat pocket and much to
his astonishment, drew forth two-ounce bot
tie, which was half full of arsenic. Wellington
appeared much confused and when asked to
explain it said it was part of the original
quantity purchased and that this bottle had
been kept in the cellar until recently.
Young Wellington is about 80 years of age,
and his wife rs. Her condition at the present
time is somewhat critical, although hopes are
entertained Of her recovery. Wellington was
arraigned and held in $4,000 in the Municipal
Court of Boston on the charge of forgery and
he will be taken to Cambridge on the charge
of attempting to poison his wife.

A Stormy Scene in the Italian Parliament
ROME, March 17.-During speech in the
italian House of Deputies last evening Pre-
mier Carroll, replying to structures by Venosta
and other members of the Right, inquired
whether the cabinet of that party displayed
great political wisdom in 1870 when they an
nounced that they would respect the conven-
ton with France guaranteeing the integrity of
the Papal territory only few days before the
course of events drove them into Rome Sig
nor LAMA, who was Premier when Rome was
occupied by the French, denied that his gov.
eminent took that step unwillingly. A scene
OF wild confusion and uproar ensued. Furi-'
GUS attacks were banded between the Right
and Left, drowning the voices of the speakers
The declarations of Signors LAMA, Sella and
Venosta include some curious revelations re-
garding the governments course towards
France and the Pope, and respecting the Sep
TENDER convention. Signor Crispi asserted
that there were differences of opinion in Lam
za'S cabinet about occupying Rome. LAMA
denied this, but Sela confirmed it, almost oc-
casioning quarrel between LAMA and Sella.
The session was one of the most sensational in
the annals of the Italian Parliament. 0

OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES Preparations for
War with Russia.
NEW YORK, March ia Shanghae des-
patch of the 10th states that the Pekin author
tiles have condemned Chung How, the late
ambassador to Russia, to death. He was orig
inally suspended on the pretext that he had
returned without the Imperial permission.
The six boards and the nine courts and other
judicial bodies at Pekin were instructed to in
quire into his conduct while conducting the
mission, and particularly into the question
whether any part of 100000 taels, to the pay
ment of which he pledged the Imperial treas
ury, had found their way into his own pocket
His stipulations were reviewed by the board
and held by them unpatriotic and preiudcial
to the dignity of China. The decision carries
with it grave complications between China
and Russia. for the Gar will certainly resent
the severe punishment of the envoy.
The Chinese army is being armed with mod
ern rifles, lances are being replaced by cavalry
sabres, and foreign drill masters are instruct
ing the Chinese soldiers. The fGovernors
General of the IS provinces of the empire
have been charged with special military COM
missions, and new powers are conferred on the
members Of their staff. A general inspection
is ordered by the war minister, the accounts of
the war department overhauled, the coast de-
fences strengthened, and preparations are be-
ing made for calling out the irregular volun-
teers, who are only mustered in the gravest
crises of the state.

The Striking Piano Makers

NEW YORK, March 17.-Considerable indig-
nation is expressed by those piano manufact-
urers who joined in the lockout against Deck

employment in furniture manufactures, but
will return to their old places as soon as the
difficulty among the piano men is settled

offered to reopen his factory if the men would
at once forsake the union. The offer was re-
jected.
