he refused to say who shot him. While
there was no doubt as to the guilt Of James,
the cause of the shooting was not brought
out at the trial, but it is generally believed
that the brothers quarrelled over Amanda
Cross, the murderer'a mistress. Both were
drunl. and being desperate men the murder
followed naturally from the collision. 1t is
reported that Kane denies that the woman
was the cause of the shooting and says that
only his spiritual advisor shall ever know
the true story Of the murder. Kane was
one of the last OF a murderous gang which
has been gradually exterminated by its
members being sent to the galows and the
penitentiary, and by numbering each other.
Kane killed James Dougherty, one of the
gang, in 1872, aud served seven years for
manslaughter. He was under bail upon a
charge Of passing counterfeit money when
he murdered his brother.

Grant took food three times last night but
at about three o'clock this morning he wrote
DR.. Douglas that food was growing dis
tasteful. The physician appeared interested
and the sick man has tried to explain that
food was not less palatable, but that he be-
lieved he was taking more nourshment than
he could assimilate. The nurse was there

given. The constant attendance the patient
is receiving from DR.. Douglas, and the nurse
under his direction, has without doubt pro-

on the painful parts of the Generals throat
are less quickly effective now than three
weeks ago. Cocaine docs not so rapidly
deaden the pain in the throat, and there is
now little doubt that if not q concurrent

AN IMPosToR ACTS AS MIEIsTEE--The
following is related by bishop of the
Church Of England: A man had OBLIGATED
as q clergyman in large town for about
fifteen years. At the lapse of that time it
was accidentally discovered that he was an
impostor A request came that he would
produce his letters Of orders. The pseudo
clergyman replied, expressing his regret
that in the course of emoyal the letters
had been hopelessly mislaid. The impos
turo then became known. OF course, II very
large number of marriages had been per-
formed during these fifteen years. not one of
which was legal. The first suggestion was
that an act should be passed making these
marriages legal, but it WAS considered that
an immense deal Of pain would be caused
by the publication Of the invaidity of these
marriages, and that peculiar hardship would
I've done in he case of children where one
or both parents had died in the meantime.
On certain evening there was discus
sion between the bishop of the diocese and
the home secretary, the result of which was
a communication to the false clergyman
that if he left England Immediately and for
ever, proceedings would not be taken, but
that otherwise he would be prosecuted.
