THE LONDON SCANDAL.
Stead Makes an Eloquent Appeal In Hts
Own Defense.

LONDON, November 4.-The trial OF Stead
and the other defendants in the Armstrong
abduction case was resumed to-day.
Charles Russell, counsel for the defendants,
declared that taking the child Eliza away
with her mothers consent was no crime,
but the Judge held otherwise. Stead, who
acts as his own counsel, made powerful
speech to the jury, dwelling particularly on
the righteousness Of his motives in his
actions respecting the girl, and defended the
action Of Mrs. Jar1et in refusing to betray
her confederates. Stead claimed that the
revelations Of the Pail Mall Gazette
aroused the Indignation Of the public and
enabled the passage OF criminal Jaw
amendment fee, so as to reach such cases
as mentioned in the Gazette. Mr.. Jacques,
one of the defendants, here arose and ex-
claimed excitedly, "He now prosecutes you
for it,
GETTING EXCITED.
Stead, turning toward Jacques Hush. !"
Jacques, however, would not be quieted,
and repeated the expression.
Justice Lopes then remarked to Jacques:
"Yon are very indiscreet."
Stead concluded his address by saying:
"If the jury returns a verdict OF guilty, l
will not appeal the case, but will bear the
punishment imposed on me without finch
ing" Applause greeted this declaration.

A FlEND1sH HUSBAND.
He Murders Hts wtfe and Sleeps Beside
the Corpse.

BUFFALO, November 4.-The body of Eva
Herman, wife OF Charles Herman, was
found in the rooms of the couple in this
city to-day. The couple were heard quar-
reling on Sunday night, and the fact that
Mrs. Herman had not since been seen led to
an investigation. Her body was lying on
the bed with her throat cut from ear to ear
and her hands gashed in the struggle, to
which the stat te of the room bore witness.
The woman kept a market stall and her
husband is butcher out of work. He has
been seen to enter the house every evening
and leave it every morning since the
tragedy, and as there was but one bed it is
believed that he has been sleeping beside
the corpse OF his wife. He has not been ar
rested.

ing first on the list. There are twenty

AN IMPORTANT STRIKE.
The knights of Labor Causing Them
selves to be Felt.

GALVESTON, November 4.-The strike OF
Knights of Labor is of greater extent than
was at first supposed, and effects every in-
dustry in the city. Fully 800 Knights OF
Labor went out this afternoon along the
wharves, in the cotton presses and freight
houses. The order to strike came from
two sources-the State Execu tive Commits
tee of Knights of Labor and the Trades
Assembly Of Galveston. The order from
the Trades Assembly reached the workmen
not members Of the Knights OF Labor, j
leaving them free to comply with the order
or to ignore it, as they chose. The order
OF the Knights of Labor extended the en-
tire length OF the Gulf, Colorado & Santa
Fe Railroad from Galveston to Fort
Worth, including the men employed by the
road at Houston. The movement oftrai1s
mas not been interfered with as yet.
THE STRIKING woRKMEN
on the Santa Fe are chiefly freight handlers
and switchmen. Being unable to obtain
possession of Mallory & Co.'S wharves herr.
the Knights of Labor determined to boy
colt all the compe ries doing business with
the Mallorys. The strike, however, affects
many interests in no way connected with
the steamship lines. Over twelve large for.
eign steamers are now lyingin port deserted
by the crews. No cotton can be unloaded
until the strike is ended. The work at Nal.
lory wharves was continued to-day. The

MURDER OR SUICIDE.
Man and His Wife Found Dead I'm
Their Bed.

DENVER, Col, November "a Salida
special to the Tribune Republican says:
DR.. j. w. Nonamaker and wife were found
dead in bed this morning with bullet holes
through their temples. From letter by
them to the editor Of the News it seems
that both had grown discouraged over
their inability to get friends to endorse a
note for $500, and had agreed to suicide
together. Midnight last night was mutually
agreed upon as the time, They retired
with loaded pistols and when the clock
struck 12 they fired, dying instantly. AS
Nonamaker was Jealous, brutal man, the
general belief is that he killed his wife dur
ing jealous fit, wrote the letter and then
committed suicide.

The ssDolphiM" Delivered.

New YORK, November At was ascer-
tanned yesterday that negotiations for the
transfer OF the steamer Dolphin" have
been pending between her builder and Sec
retary Whitney for some time past, and
would have been consumated earlier but
for the delay in obtaining sureties which
Mr.. Roach is required to furnish. The diff
iculties have now disappeared, however,
and the papers are duly signed and sealed,
and the Government has become the pos
SCISSOR OF the craft, whose vagries on her
trial cruise have been the subject Of so
much public interest. The documents in
the case are at Washington, but will be
made public directly.

An Important Factor.

New YORK, November 5.-The Posts
Washington special says: Representatives
of the Knights OF Labor allege that the pub
lie press, in assigning reasons for the Dem
ocratic victory in New York has quite over
looked the Importance of that organiza-
ton as a factor in the result. One OF its
officers, who is also in the Government
service and spent some days in New York
and Brooklyn in the interest OF the organi-
zation, says that its members there voted
with almost unanimity for Hill, and claim
his success was due to their efforts. Hills
answers to certain questions about the
labor question pleased them better than
Davenport's.

Governor Hill Observation-Disclosures of
Labor Voted Solid for Hill.

ALBANY, November Ex-Governor Hill
was sernaded this evening at the Executive
Mansion by the citizens OF Albany and the
Jacksonian club. In reply to this greeting,
Governor Hill made these points: "The
Democratic victory in New York will
strengthen the hands Of our President, and
aid him in his efforts for the publication OF
the public service; that New York can
never be carried on any issue OF sectional
hate; that he had not promised a non-par-
tisan administration OF State affairs, but
would make an honest one." In closing he
congratulated the party on the success OF
General Lee in Virginia..

UNCHANGED FIGURES.
RICHMOND, November 4, p. m.-Former
figures are not changed by the latest re-
turns. Lees majority is between 25 900
and 10000. The Legislature is strongly
Democratic.
DEMOCRATIC GAINS.
Returns from one-half OF the State show
a net Democratic gain OF 1885. The coun-
ties and cities to be heard from gave Blaine
5000 majority. Later reports from Rock
ingham county state that the vote is very
close WIFI luClICdLlOH6 SOIuCWAOo III 1"SoA
of the Democrats. Additional returns do
not change the indica tions telegraphed last
night as to General Lees majority reaching
$4,000, and it may go to $4,000.
AS TO THE LEGISLATURE,
sufficient returns have been received to
show that the Democrats have already 62
out of 100 members of the House OF Dale
gates and 23 out of 40 members OF the Sen
ate. The Republicans have 16 members
out OF the House and II Senators. The
counties yet to be heard from will increase
the Dem ,cratic membership to two-thirds
majority in both Houses.
LATEST RETURNS.
All but eleven counties have been heard
from. From what has been received and
estimating the counties not heard from,
Lees majority will doubtless reach 2"n !.l,
The Democratic gains as lar as heard from
are nearly offset by Republican gains. In
the southern counties the Democrats made
small gains. Heavy Democratic gains,
however, appear in all the counties having
a large colored population. The Legisla,
