The Conomons-Other Matters

i.o>D,v, April 1o.-In the Com
mons the motion by Pett (conserva-
tive) in favor of immediate reform of
local taxation was only negatived by
a vote of 127 to:s129. The amendment
was accepted by the government for
consideration of Reform measures
until the whole question of local
government is examined. The close
ness of division on Pett's motion was
loudly cheered by the former. Lord
O'Neill is dead.
The Daily Nes0s says that in
the event.of Amman affairs involv-
ing France with China it is under
stood France will confine herself to
blockading Chinese ports. They are
very well aware of the difficulty of an
expedition to Pekin. The NeWs
adds: It will be a very serious matter
and stop trade between China and
America, and also between England
and Germany. It is worth while
for France to consider whether Bis
marck will submit.

Sensational from Germany.

New YORK, April 1S.-A cable
to the World from its London cor
respondent says the message of EN-
peror William to the Reichstag, call
ing for legislation in the interest of
the working classes, excites as much
uneasiness here in official circles as
at Berlin, for the reason that it is be-
lieved to be inspired by the distrust
existing in the Government OF
France. and to cover the military
programme, which will pretty GER
tainly be carried out upon the hrst
symptom of serious political disturb
ances in France. [ have it on the
best of authority that under orders
from Berlin fortnight ago six di-
visions of the Imperial cavalry ana
four of the army corps have been got
into readiness to cross the French
frontier in three days time. Some OF
the Socialist leaders in Germany ap-
pear inclined to cut out work nearer
home for the force by provoking dis
turbances among the German work
ing classes, but as any such attempt
would be disastrous to the people 1t
is not likely to be made real dan
ger to Europe at this moment. IL Is
at Paris where men in authority seem
to be entirely incapable OF under
standing the danger to when they
are exposing not only the peace OF
the continent but the very existence
of their own country.

time has been paying attentions to
Anna Daschter, Mohukan's niece, who
resided with him and the family over
the store here. Steffano visited Miss
DascEter, to whom he was engaged
to be married. Mohuken was very
suspicious Of him, and he believed he
was unduly intimate with his wife.
His wife, knowing his jealousy, got
Miss Daschter to move to a friends
house, and requested Steffano to stay
away. The murdered man was de-
livering goods opposite Mohuken's
store this afternoon. and crossed the
street in answer to the call of a friend.
He had hardly reached the sidewalk
when Mohuken approached, holding in
his hand a revolver. Without a word

balls entering his head and the fifth
his left breast. Steffano dropped

YESTERDAYS REPORT.
Failure Of Iron Pipe Manufactur-

PITTsBURG, April 1.-THE failure
yesterday of James Marshall & Co.,
iron pipe manufacturers, was the all
important topic IN commercial and
financial circles to-day. The liabili-
ties are considerably heavier than
was reported. and will not be less
than 81 100000. OF this amount $780,
600 is owing to the Marshall estate.
The assets will cover all but $780, 600.

Marshall, $12O,OOO; Hogsett, Hanna

ed amO1g the Fairchance Chance Co.;
Fayette Brown, receiver for Brown.
Bonnetti Il Co., Youngstown, Ohio;
the Dunbar (Pa) Furnace company,
and the Rockhill Furnace COMPANY.
Almost every bank in this city held
their paper, but all were secured and
will not lose a dollar. The failure
was the result of speculation, and the
of the iron trade was III no
way responsible. 1t has had no effect
whatever upon the trade, and in order
that there may be no bad results to
the pig iron trade and ore miners, the
parties holding as collateral security
for their loans the immense quantity
Of pig iron held by Mr.. Marshall, it is
stated, will not force the sale of the
same, but will sell it gradually when
The market demands and only when
it can be disposed of at fair price.

FoREI1N FLASHES.
Curley's Trial.

DUBLIN, April 1S. - Attorney.
General Porter, on behalf Of the
Crown, declared the evidence
in support Of an alibi was worthless
and conflicting, though Peter Han
Ian protessed that he was in Curley's
company four hours, covering the
time the assassination took place,
and claimed that during that time
he met various persons. The defense
produced but cDe of these persons.
One witness swors that Curley was
in saloon the same time that Han
Ian testified that Curley was in an
other place. The judge then deliv-
cred the charge to the jury. He
spoke strongly against the reliability
OF the evidence to prove an alibi.
He pointed out that there could not
be the slightest doubt but that
the murders were perpetrated at the
lnstigation of secret societies1
with which the prisoner was indis-
putably connected. The charge was
completed at half past two, and the
jury retired Immediately. and after
short absence re-entered the court
room, finding Curley guilty as
charged in the indictment. The
prisoner was asked if he had any
thing to say why sentence should not
be pronounced. He said he had not
expected any mercy from the court.
It was very unfortunate that the
Irish bench was never without a
Norburg or Keogh. He was a
member of the Invincibles, but was
not in Phoenix Park Oh the evening
the murders were committed. He
loved his country and could suffer
for her. The witnesses for the Crown
perjured themselves. Curley also
said he was Fenian. After the
prisoner finished he was sentenced
to be hanged on the 18th of May.
AS the officers were taking the pris-
oner from the dock he cried out In a
loud voice, "God save Ireland"

leaf tobacco from the United States
complain that It's dishonesty packed:
that hogsheads on being opened are
found to contain great deal of refuse
tobacco; that from 25 to 50 per cent.
Of the leaf imported from the United
States is not according to the sample.
and that is particularly the case with
Kentucky tobacco. Owing to diff
culties of inspection the inferior
character of the tobacco, according
to Consul Lewis, is rarely discovered
until it has found its way to the re-
tailer's shop. and the result is the
importer is Obliged to make an allow
ance to the consumer, which in some
cases averages e2 sterling per hogs
head On the whole cargo. He urges
a more careful inspection of tobacco
before shipment.
