\ LIBERALIsM.-It is the pride and
boast of many men, nowadays, that
shey are liberal in their views, which
with some, means no more than that
they have never examined any sub
ject with care sufficient to beget posi-
tive convictions; with others, that
5their convictions of right are always
: subordinate to their judgment of ex-
Z pediency and present advantage,
while with the fewest number, per-
Chaps, it means what it should, i. e.,
ssthat every mans opinions and every
proposed course of action should have
10 fair examination. Many argue the
spermissibility of questionable actions,
snot for the purpose of freeing the
sworld from weights that hinder its
progress, but rather that they may
shave an excuse for irregularities
/ of their own lives. Such
people always keep so close
TO the boundary between right
And wrong that they must be contin-
ually asking, as it any harm to do
this or thaty" but never rise to con-
eeption of the nobility there is in
seeking to know what is the best
thing that can be done.
We do not intend, however, to con-
denim liberality IN toto, nor to pane
gyrize the old religiOnists and phil
osophers, who, considering their own
interpretations of nature and revela-
lion the ultimatum Of what was to be
known of these subjects, expected
every man to accept their opinions,
crawl into their straight jackets with.
out regard to ft, and be content
to wear them for the rest of their
lives.
To demand such slavish acquies.
cence Is the worst OF tyranny while,
on the other hand, those who are
willing to abandon their individuality
and become mere copyists, fall into
mistakes not unlike that of the wo
man, who. admiring the set of .
neighbor boys trousers, borrowed the
pattern to guide her in cutting Q pail
for her own boy, > lad some three
years older than the former and lar
ger of bis age. The garment wa!
made strictly according to the pat
tern, but when done was found to b,

THE BARROws MURDER.
The Last Of the Testimony In This Re.
voting Case--The Court AdjOurns to
Monday when the Arguments
will Begin.

SAco, Feb. 2.
In resumng testimony in the Barrows case,
the defence called Martha Blaney, daughter
of the defendant aud wife of Oscar +. Blaney.
She i. about % years old. She testified to
Blaney's proceedings on the day Of the 18th,
and said "Blaney went out in the evening,
but came back and took off his shoes shortly
before Mrs. Barrows came She said she
believed Tom had shot himself. Neither
Oscar or made reply. She wanted Oscar
to go back with her. Mrs. Barrows said she
heard shots and Thomas fell. But she did
not know whether he was injured, or only
did it to call her out. Oscar harnessed bis
horse; | got cloak and gave my husband
a revolver; did not see what he did with it /;
don't RENE mber that mother saw me pass 1t
TO him he had a revolver from the time he
began to go with me; saw no cartridges; he
always carried revolver when up towards
Barrows' place have heard him say he car
ried it for self defence against Thomas Bar
rows he was gone over an hour before he
came back this time, and said, Thomas is
gone" asked him where. They say he
was partially on the bed" She related the
story of the shooting of Mrs. Barrows by
Thomas Barrows and Thomas Barrows ex-
tracing promise from her, under threat of
her life, not to marry Oscar Blaney.
She was taken suddenly ill after leaving
the stand and it was necessary to remove her
from the court room.
The defence rested their case and Sheriff
Getchell was called by the government. He

spoke of procuring bonds. told her | had
A warrant for her arrest as an accessory be-
fore and after fact. and she was committed.
Franklin W. Blaney testified that nothing
was said at the house by Mrs. Bsrrows about
being afraid, am deaf but she came within
few feet of me
Mr.. Neatly was recalled and produced his
testimony before the Coroner's inquest and
the government rested its case and the testi-
mony was closed on both sides.
The court adjourned to Monday morning
when the arguments are to be made, This
forenoon a bouquet of flowers was sent Oscar
f. Blaney by woman in the audience.
venires have been issued to fifty jurors to
try the Blaney murder case next Wednesday,
but from his testimony in the Barrows case
it is quite probable they are summoned to
fix the degree of his crime, rather than try

MYSTERIOUS POISONING CASE.
Strange Death of a Man and Whe-A
Detective at Work ON the Case.
LONG ISLAND CRY, Feb 2.

LONG ISLAND CRY, Feb =.
Thomas Collyer. husband of Mrs. Gather
inc Collyer, who died suddenly at Laurel
Hill, yesterday, from supposed arsenicai
poisoning, died this morning after intense
suffering. The physicians are satisfied that
both were poisoned. Nothing has been dis
covered to show how the poison was taken.
The absence of any apparent motive on the
part of the family in desiring their death ana
the failure to find any poisonous substance
in the house, lends an air of mystery to the
case which creates great excitement among
the villagers of Laurel Hill. A detective
has commenced an investigation and will en-
deavor TO unravel the mystery.
An autopsy on the body of Thomas Collyer
was held. The doctors say there are traces
of arsenic poisoning in the stomach, and 1t Is
thought now that there was arsenic In the
pepper used on the meat and not on the
meat itself. John Conhey, brother-in law,
has been arrested and lodged in Jail on sus.
'picion of haAiug poisoned the pepper. and
Annie Conhey, his sister, has also been ar
rested. The only motive known for the
crime is that they wanted possession of their
fathers property, amounting to $500.

BosToN, Feb. ).
The American Electric & Illuminating Co.
of this CITY is negotiating for the control OF
an improved system of incandescent lights to
be operated in connection with its arc sys-
tenn, and which will give it facilities for COM
peting at every point with all other systems
of inferior lighting. In accordance with the
policy of this company, all its local COM
panies in various cities outside Of Boston
will be given the advantages of this incan-
descent system, enabling them to monopollze
the entire lighting business outdoors and IN
doors, of their respective fields. Though
hitherto operating only the Thompson-Hous
ton arc system, the American Electric Il
Illuminating Co. is privileged by its charter
to adopt and introduce any other system
which may prove possible or desirable. The
pending negotiations, if successfully carried
out, will strengthen the company's position
position and add to its profits largely. as there
is a considerable demand for incandescent
lamps for the lighting OF stores, offices and
dwellings.
