had n lively time with some of his brother min
listers yesterday when he announced his START

The prize fighters have proved too much for
the law in its present weak condition. Tonight
therefore, the Madison Square Garden Will
probably be crowded with thousands of rulllans
from the Bowery and Chatham-st, not to men
ton q hundred or so of welldressed men from
better neighbOrhOods, but of equally depraved
tastes. Captain Williams will also probably
occupy his usual position as referee VINO can
enforce his decisions with n club. The whole
spectacle will be disgrace to this great CITY,
and we trust that one of the first things the
Legislature does this winter will be to put the
statutes in such shape that they can stand up
before the "sluggers" and prevent these tights
henceforth.
Mr.. Gladstone's last speech on the FRANCHISE
bill, as reported by cable, seems to contain no
signs of concession to the Conservatives. lie
insists that the Government cannot enter into
an understanding with the Opposition until the
Franchise bill has been made law; but nc
pledges his Ministry TO the immediate intro
duction and passage of redistribution
measure about which the Conservatives shall
be consulted in advance To dislnterested
observer this looks like a most reasonable a,ti-
tude and q fair offer on Mr.. Gladstone's part.
Yet the Tories are not dsintcrcstcd nor always
reasonable and the chances are that the pres
emf conflict between the Liberals and the Peers
will grow sharper before the end of 1t is in
sight.

months old. A flush sutiused her check when she
saw her husband, who had so bascy deserted her
and she refused to have anything to say to him.
Dunlap was so much affected that he tainted. and
il was fully quarter of hour before he could be
restored to consciousness; then he humbly begged
his w,fc's pardon. She refused TO talk with him,
however and made affidavit. she was requested TO-
that Dunlap was her husband, and that they were
married seven years ago. Dunlap tried again to
speak with his wife, but she turned her head from
him and would not respond to his good bye.
Dunlap was employed as superintendent of a tea
store III Atlantic-ayc. lie was arrested on com
plant of Miss Adde Hart. Of Lawronce-st. TO

The trial Of DR.. Rufus w. Peacock and John d.
Harrington for conspiracy to defraud the American
Legion of Honor was finished in the Court of ses-
si0ns, Jersey City, yesterday. Judge McGil gave
his charge to the jury and during their absence ex
Judge Hoffman took several exceptions to the

at each one anXiously but they all carefuy avoided
returning his gaze. Harrington seemed to feel
something ominous in their action and he grew pale
and twisted his fingers in a nervous manner. There
was silence in the crowded court room until the
verdict of guilty" was announced, when there
was subdued murmur of voices. Harrington was
permitted to go away in company with his counsel,
but Peacock, who is under sentence for a previous
conviction, was taken back to Jail.
