place. 1 saw the child several
times at his house. The child
was bruised on the right side of his face
and on his eyes and head. He seemed to
be in great pain and could scarcely sit or
stand, and wanted to go to bed. One eye
was swollen shut. The other eye was badly
swollen. After death l washed the child
and discovered that it was beaten to death.
The child was the worst bruised person on
the back / ever saw in my life, and just
cried out: The child's back is broke "
Thomas Greed fully corroborated his mother
as to the condition of the child's body. So
did many other witnesses. Jack Northern
corroborated most of the facts testified to by
former witnesses. He said II saw Jim
Robson strike BERTHE on the side of the face
and on the shoulder about ten ticks because
the boy would not sit still out in the
woods, when the boy was cold
and wanted to warm himself. Jim
and my brother and me were at work in the
woods when this occurred. 1t was a very
cold day. Saw Jim whip the boy at another
time in the house. Struck the boy with his
hand six or eight ticks. The mother said
the child was sick. At that time Robson
also whipped the boy with stick an incl
or more thick and about fourteen inches
long. Struck him six or seven times OF
each side of the face and head.

Connecticut UniversaIist Flock Exercised
Over tho Unaccountable Disappearance
Of Their Shepherd.
BRrDGKPoRr, CONN.,, March II.
Intense excitement prevails here over
the disappearance of the Reverend John
Lyon. His pulpit in the Universalist
Church was not filed yesterday, and no
services were held. Groups of excited
people have been discussing the mystery
all day, and the hotels and telegraph
offices have been thronged by citizens
seeking some satisfactory clew to the
clergyman's whereabouts. For some time
Mr.. Lyon has been preaching against the
evils of gambling, directing his batteries
against the lottery policy dealers in par
ticular. He upbraided the city officials
and police, and by his able discourses
compelled the authorities to arrest and
prosecute the policy dens. He has been
repeatedly threatened by the policy rum
ners, and since the cases have been tried
and the players acquitted IL Is feared by
some that one of these threats has been
carried out. Mr.. Lyon is a Scotchman.
He left this city on Thursday for the pur-
pose of visiting the Grand Secretary Of
the Knights of Pythias on business con-
nected with Mithra Lodge of this city, to
which Mr.. Lyon belonged. The Grand
Secretary telegraphed that Mr.. Lyon called
on him and transacted his mission and
they both went to the Hartford depot.
Mr.. Lyon purchased ticket for New York,
where he said his wife was visiting, and
got on board the 3 80 p. m. train, and has
not been heard from since.

Will VS.. Doctors.

No matter how learned he may be, a
physician does not always know what
is going on inside of a man. The
patient who, according To the doctor s
diagnosis, ought to DE, often RECEIVERS,
while the man to whom he has proph-
esied that he would get well, dies.
These affronts to medical science are
sometimes explained by referring them
to the presence of lack of will-power in
the patient.
Some years ago an English nobleman,
who was beyond the threescore and ten
years allotted by the Psalmist to man,
had severe attack of lung disease.
With much difficulty, for he was a. old
autocrat, his family persuaded him to
allow three of London's most distin-
guished physicians to examine him and
consult on his case.
They asked him many questions, felt
his pulse. sounded his chest, and then
retired into the dining-room. After a
long consultation, they re-entered the
invalid's chamber and pronounced their
opinion.
Unless his lordship went immediate.

answer for the consequences.

the Day at Chicago.
CHICAGO, ILL.,, March II.
The rear guard of the st. Patrick's Day
procession passed the corner of Twelfth
and State streets at $40 o'clock
this afternoon. A large crowd had con-
gregated on the sidewalks. Fully seventy
people stood wedged together in space
hardly twenty-flv by ei1lt feet. Under
meath this crowd was wooden side
walk. AS the last of the procession
passed, the crowd began to move.
The sidewalk shook for moment, the
cracking of rotten tlmbers followed,
was crash, and the mass
of shrieking humanity was dropped into
the basement below, a distance of about
ten feet. Those on top of the heap began
scrambling out by standing on their less
fortunate companions. The wreck
was soon surrounded by huge
crowd. The patrol wagons were sum-
moned and the wounded, mostly women
and children were rescued. large
number were removed to carriages and
wagons while the police took care Of
those who had no friends. A baby-car-
riage was demolished, but the baby, I'M
harmed, was hoisted out and delivered to
its bruised and frightened mother. A
huge pile of hats, bonnets, green
ribbons, shawls and few crushed
flags were carried into the shoe store
and delivered to their respective owners.
One man had his teeth Jared out. The
only person seriously injured was lady,
who, being in delicate condition, suf-
fered considerably, and was removed to
her home in carriage. Her name could
not be learned. The police report the
following persons injured:
Maggie Keves, domestic, employed by
Mrs. Reidy at 1858 Thirty-flrst street; frac-
ture of rightleg.
Maggie Tracy, domestic, at same num-
Der; right ankle BROKEN.
Bridget Farren, of PIG Dearborn street,

ST. PAUL, MINI, March II.
Winnipeg advices state that the agita-
ton in Manitoba, which originated with
the farmers, appears to be having con-
tagious effect on the commercial repre-
sentatives throughout the province. The
general public are not aware of the strong
undercurrent which is carrying on the
agitation, and the serious earnestness and
quiet determination awaiting for an OPP
perfume time for development. That the
business and agricultural interests are
undergoing a severe depression is no
longer matter of argument, and unless
relief is provided by the Ottawa Govern
ment crisis may be expected.
Persons in position to know, and who
can sustain their assertions positively,
are aware of the organization of secret
societies in the city of Winnipeg, whose
purpose it is to have thee Ottawa government
accede to their demands, or failing in this,
to assume control of the Province and in
sist on annexation. This society is COM
posed of influential and prominent bus
mess men who realize that their lifetime
oSSuiuuiahOuo uIC SICutiy JcdpOTulLtu,
and their earnest and subdued CONVEX
sation is emphatic and determinedly sug-
gestivc.
At the farmers meeting in Winnipeg,
Saturday last, some of the men in the
paid service of the Government insisted
on controlling the convention, much to
the disgust of the farmers, who promptly
drove them from the hall
General Manager Van Hornets reply to
the farmers, to the effect that their action
was ill-advised, and that no concessions
by the railroad would be made until after
the fool-killer had visited Winnipeg, has
only served to fan the fame. The farm
ers in their resolutions advise against
emigration until the wrongs are correct
ed This information has been telegraphed
all over Europe in the various languages,
and can not avoid restricting emigration.
1t has been observed by conversation
with Canadians, always loyal heretofore,
that there is majority in favor of annex
alton, and unless their grievances are
heard and corrected exciting news from
that province may be looked for soon.
