THE INQUEST.
A Verdict Of Willful Murder Against
Unknown Parties.

DUBLIN, May S.-The post-mortem examina-
ton of the bodies at the Chief Secretary 8
showed eleven wounds on Mr. Burke and eight
ON Lord Frederick Cavendish. The chief
wound on the former was inflicted from behind
penetrating the heart, and .on the latter the
chief wound was also inflicted from behind,
severing an important artery of the neck. One
wound on Lord Cavendish's left forearm had
severed the muscles and fractured the bone, as
if inflicted with hatchet or sword. The boz
dy of Mr.. Burke presented the appearance of
that of stalwart man for his age-sixty years.
His face was drawn a good deal. Lord Fred
erick Cavendish was apparently man of slight
build, with a narrow chest, Mr.. Burke's body
presented-as asdoctor stated who saw both bod
ies-very much the same appearance of Lord
Letrim.
The jury of inquest returned a verdict of
wilfull murder against some person or persons
unknown.

INTERVIEWS.
With Prominent Gentlemen and Their
Opinions Noted

PEORIA, ILL.,. May 8.-Notorous Patrick
Crows who created great sensation sometime
ago by fathering hescheme to blow up British
vessels by internal machines in an interview
published today says he believes the attack was
aimed at Burke ana not at his superior.
Burke was under secretary at the time of the
Fenian troubles, and made himself thoroughly
obnoxious to that class. He was bitter and
malignant enemy of the Irish race and was
detested as much by it as was Lord Castle
reagh, former secretary. He believed the
event marked anew era for ireland and that
its effects would be somewhat similar to those
at the assassination of the Governor of India
which caused England to loosen the screws up
on that country,

sinations o. Donovan Rossa today said: 81 don't
wonder at it. They who SOW to the wind must
expect to reap the whirlwind. The deed was
not done by these milk and water land leag-
uers who prate to us of freeing IRELAND and rid
ding the country of landlordism without strik-
ing blow. This blow now has been struck by
men. If they happen to be Irishmen who
feel the wrongs of their country and would
right them or avenge them by desperate means
they shall have no word of condemnation from
us. Cavendish was killed, perhaps,on account
of being in bad company. Burke was about
the slimiest toad living. He was Forster's in
structor. 1t was he who used to point out
where arrests were to be made and who to be
arrested.

for the Michigan Central and Lake Shore

and the increasedi train service and general
operating expenses were larger than before.
The funded debt of the road is a million and a
quarter larger than in 1880.

She Wanted Comedy.

Three months ago when new ser
want girl came to Brush street family
the mistress said she desired to post
the girl in advance on one certain little
point. She and her husband belong to
an ameteur theatrical company, and in
case Jane heard any racket around the
house she must not imagine that they
were quarreling They would simply
be rehearsing their parts. The play
began on the third evening of the girls
engagement. The husband tainted
his wife with extravaganza, and she
said he played poker for money, and
chairs were upset and footstools kicked
around, and threats were made of going
home to mother. Next morning the
mistress said to the girl:
"Did you hear us playing our parts
in the 'Wronged Wife last night? 7"
"Yes'm'
''It was simply a rehearsal, you
know, and you mustn't think strange
of my throwing vase at my husband
and calling him a vile wretch"
Three or four nights after that the
the curtain went up on play called
"The Jealous Husband" and Jane
heard sobs, sighs, protestations, threats
and ordinations The next play was
entitled "Coming Home Tight" and
was mostly played in the front hall.
Then followed "The Depths of De
spair," "Threats of Divorce" "Such
Wretch" until Jane was at last tired
of having private box and being the
only audience. The other morning
she appeared in the sitting room with
her hat on and her bundle under her
arm, and said:
"Please, ma'am, but | am going
this morning"
"What, going away
"Yes'm.'
"For what reasont'
"Please, ma'am, but I'm tired of
tragedy. I'm girl as naturally likes
to see hugging and kissing and love
making on the stage, and when Marks,
the lawyer, comes in on the what. do
you call-it I'm sure I'll be tickled to
death, think I'll try some family
where they rehearse comedy and have
a good deal of kissing, and perhaps
may come in as a supe and get small
share of it myself!"-Detroh Free

POETICAI,.
THE FARMERS WIFE.

Up with the birds In the early morning
The dew-drop glows like precious gem;
Beautiful tlnts In the skies are dawnng
But she's never moment TO look at them
The men are wanting their breakfast early;
She must not linger, she must not walt;
For words that are sharp and looks that are surly
Are what men give when meals are late.
Oh, glorious colors the clouds a re turning,
II she would but look over hills and trees
But here are the dishes and here is the churning-
Those things always must yield TO these.
The world is ned with the wine OF beauty
II she could but pause and drink II in;
But pleasure she says must walt for duty
Neglected work is committed sin.
The day grows hot, and her hands grow weary;
Oh for an hour to cool her head,
out with the birds and winds so cheeryl
But she must get dinner and bake her bread.
The busy men in the bayfield, working,
II they saw her sitting with idle hand,
Would think her lazy, and call It shirklng,
And she never could make them understand.
They do not know that the heart within her
Hungers for beauty and things sublime;
They only know that they want their dinner
Plenty OF it. and just "on time"
And after the sweeping and churning and baking,
Ana dinner dishes are all put by,
She sits and sews, though her head is aching,
Till time for supper and "choresn draw nigh.
Her boys at school must look like others,
She says, as she patches their frocks and hose,
For the world Is quick to censure mothers
For the least neglect OF their chlldren's clothes
Her husband comes from the field OF labor,
He gives no praise to his weary wife;
She's done no more than has her neighbor;
IT'S the lot OF all In country life.
But after the strife and weary tussle
With life is done, and she lies at rest;
The nations brain and heart and muscles
Her sons and daughters-shall call her blest.
And think the sweetest Joy OF heaven,
The rarest bliss OF eternal life,
And the fairest crown OF all, will be given
Unto the way-worn farmers wife.
