A Sensational murder Case in England.

London Special cable: A terrible tragedy in
high life is reported from Devonshire. Mr..
Hugh Shorthand, a rich barrister from Aus
tralia, had been spending the past few months
IN That county enjoying a vacation. He made
the acquaintance of a Miss Dimes, the daughter
of a wealthy country gentleman and connected
with some of the most aristocratic families. and
proposed marriage to her. MI. Dimes, however.
objected to Shortland's attentions, having heard
some d~isreputable stories about his habits.
Whlch MIR. Dimes was convinced were
TOO much those of a dissipate and profigate.
Shorthand, being clevein address and skilled
IN intrigue, managed to induce MI. Dimes to
postpone a final decision until he could be con-
vlnced that his impressions were erroneous
and thus maintained his entree at the residence.
Taking advantage of the opportunities afforded
suit with the young lady, and finally induced
her to elope with him, and they were duly
married. Soon after clipping, the young lady's
dead body was found in a pond ON her fathers
estate. At abOutthe time the body was discov-
cred, Shorthand 1t was reported, left Devonshire.
10 was generally supposed, therefore, that Mrs.
Shorthand had committed suicide in q fitof des-
pondency. This view was confirmed by a let
ter which was received from Shorthand soon
after the finding of the body. An investigation
was begun and it was soon ascertained that
had never left England at all since
his marriage, and that he had written his letter
and sent thunder cover to a friend at Brindisi
was promptly arrested, and his trial
promises to be one of the most sensational in
English criminal records. All efforts to find a
reason for the murder have failed. and Short
land refuses to make.any utterances on the sub
ject.

An appropriation was made for a deputy to
VISIT lodges in the jurisdiction for the purpose
of increasing the membership. No special ef-
fort viii be made the ensuing year to increase
the number of lodges, it being considered adj
vlsable to concentrate all efforts to increase the
membership in the established cnAs. 1t was
decided that under the constitution members
over fifty years old cannot be received
INTO this, from another jurisdictions.
Grand lodges of other Jurisdictions have de-
clded this point adversely. The grand repre-
sentatlVest to the supreme lodge were instructed
TO urge a graded assessment according to age.
An effort was made to make a graded initiatorv
ice, ranging from 20 10 40, according to age,
but this failed. The capitation tax for the ex-
penses of the grand lodge was fixed for the en-
suing year at 81 for each member. The ex-

For the Ala of Gen. Grant.

Washington Special. Senator Edmunds left
the chair of the vice president Wednesday to
offer a bill to place Gen. Grant on the retired
list of the army, and in a brief speech alluded
indirectly to his financial failure, which was
announced in the papers. He said he hoped
the committee on military affairs would hasten
the passage of the bill. Such a measure has
been repeatedly introduced in congress, but
has invariably failed. Southern dhmocrats, es-
pecially ex-confederates, are kindly disposed
toward Grant, and little opposition is anticipate
ed beyond that of democrats of the Holman
type in the house, and Voorhees, type in the
senate. While it is well known that Grant has
a comfortable fortune left, there is a generous
feeling that his services deserve the providing
of him against the ups and downs of CONNER
cial business.

A baptist Minister'S Experience.

I am a Baptist Minister and before 1 even
thought of being a clergyman I graduated in
medicine but left a lucrative practice for my
present profession, 40 years ago, l was for
many years a sufferer from Quinsy, Thomas
Eclectric Oil cured me-" L was also troubled
with Hoarseness and Thomas Eclectric Oil al
ways relieved me. My wife aud child had
Diphtheria, and '"Thomas Eclectric Oil cured
them" and if taken in time it will cure seven
times out of ten, I am confident it is a cure for
the most obstinate Cold, or Cough and if any one
will take a small teaspoon andhalf fill it with tho
Oil and then place the end of the spoon in
one nostril and draw the Oil out of the spoon in
to the head by shifting as hard as they can until
the Oil falls over into the throat and practice that
twice a week, l don't care how offensive their
head may be, it will clean it out and cure their
Catarrh. For deafness and Earache it has done
wonders to my certain knowledge. It'll the only
medicine dubbed patent medicine that 1 have
ever felt like recommending and lam very anx-
lous to see it in every place, for tell you thatI
would not be withoutit in my house for any con-
sideration, I am now suffering with a pain like
rheumatism in my right limb and nothing re-
leves me like Thomas Electric Oil.

The Enacting Clause Stricken Out in the

House by a Majority of Four.
In the house, on Tuesday, after strong
speeches from Mr.. Randall, Mr.. Blackburn,
Mr.. Kasson and others, Mr.. Converse. pushing
to the front, moved to strike out the enacting
clause. This was a signal for a volly of Misses
and groans from the Democratic side, this
demonstration being met by rounds of Applause
from the Republican side. The scene in the
chamber was one of intense excitement and
confusion to which the galleries rendered no
little aid by loud tokens of approval. Tellers
being ordered, Messrs. Converse and Morrison
were appointed by the chair. Before taking
his place, Morrison called to the clerk of the
house, who was standing by the speakers
desk, and exclaimed: CLARK. see that no
id scoundrel who is paired goes between
the tellers" Clark promising to see that fair
ground should be had, Morrison took his sta
ton, giving Converse very cool shake of the
hand as he stood opposite that gentleman. Then
the voting began, and the tellers announced
The Affirmative vote TO be l55. The first man
to pass through in the negative was Reagan of
Texas, who had been brought in an invalid
chair in order to cast his vote. He was heartily
applauded by his friends and received many
congratulations upon his apparent recovery
from his late severe illness. The negative
vote was announced as Isl, and then George
ID. Wise Va voted in the affirmative, making
the vote stand 159 to 15h.
The only Republicans who voted with the
Democrats against striking out the
enacting clause of the bill, were Messrs.
Strait, Nelson, Wakefield and White of Mime
sofa. On being asked to explain their votes
these gentlemen all say that they voted to take
up the bill up to consider it, and having done
so, they could not consistently vote to eject it
after three weeks time wasted in discussion.
In addition, they say they favor a revision of
the tariff and would have voted for the Nor
rison bill if properly amended

cans in favor of striking out the enacting clause
