claim being, not that Maxwell was insane

is insane now. and evidences of his flight

entitled to the presumption of innocence

pie with complete success and single

reason to believe that the business OF rob-

has never been very dangerous. Stories
have been told of stages being stopped by
unarmed men. the threatening presenta-

their calling, though most of them have
landed in the penitentiary at last.

VORTHCOTE TREATED Al A
JONAH.

It will be seen that there is about
the same sort of dirty work per-
formed in politics in England az
there is here. The London Truth
thus describes the defeat of Sir
Northcote:
The shelving of Sir Stafford
Northcote was as dirty trick as
ever was played in the political
arena. There has been an agree
ment between him and Lord Sails
bury that whichever the Queen
sent for, in the event Of the Lib
erals leaving Office, should be the
leader Of the party. 1t was known
that Sir Stafford had a strong and
legitimate ambition to be Prime
Minister but upon court intiU-
ences prevailing and Lord Sails
bury being sent for Sir Stafford
honestly and honorahly accepted
the decision. He was to remain,
a. he IMAGINED, leader Of the
House of Commons. From this
position he was ousted with re
fnement Of meanness which Is a
most incredible. Lord Randolph
Churchill had for long time head
ed a small. but active, party
against his leadership. When,
therefore. he declined to enter the
Ministry with Sir Stafford as his
leader. he-whether the course was
wise or fnolisli-cannot be blamed.
Earl Salisbury at first refused to
accept the condition. and Con
servative Administration became
impossible. It was therefore nee
essary to remove" Sir Stafford
and this was done with as little
conjunction as Lord Frederick
Cavendish was removed" in the
Phoenix Park. but with more
treachery. Lord Randolph moved
a resolution which was carried
against Sir Stafford. This was sup
ported BY Sir Michael Hicks
Beach, his trusty ancient-honest,
honest Iago! In the meanwhile
Lord Salisbury professed to hold
aloof. But every effort was ind,-
rect!y made to induce Sir Stafford
to withdraw These efforts we're
successful. In Sir Stafford they
had to deal with a man of the
highest honor and of chivalrous
delicacy He professed himself
willing to accept the fate of Jonah,
and he was incontinently taken at
his word and thrown overheard.
Sir Michael was the Judas Of the
execution Lord Salisbury was the
PLATE, who looked on and washed
his hands and the Conservatives
IN quest Of place we're the bowling
mob who shouted, "Crucify himl
Cruelty him.! Putting aside all
party considerations. a more dis
graceful instance Of greed out
weighing honorable feeling has
never been exhibited. This is the
opinion Of many Conservatives and
of all Liberals, and the latter
showed it by loudly cheering Sir
Stafford when he entered the House
Of Commons for the first time after

A Narrow Escape,

Messrs. Merits & Riddle had a very
narrow escape from having their ex-
tensive Coach and Hearse Works go
up in flames on Monday evening.
About quarter past nine o'clock Mr..
j. Il. Riddle was in the Office, and
thinking he heard some one moving
about in the wood shop, he laid down
his pen and went to the door, upon
opening which he discovered a big
blaze near the middle OF the room.
Selling couple of buckets of water he
threw it upon the flames and ran 10
the door and gave the alarm. The fire
companies were soon out, but before
they reached the scene the bucket
brigade had extinguished the flames.
The damage, fortunately, is not great.
There are variety of opinions as to
the origin of the fire, Mr. J. n. Riddle,
the first to discover it, being satisfied
It was the work of an incendiary,

her buggy having broken down. He
took the young lady into his carriage,
and her horse was hitched behind.
Owing to the cold he was closely muf-
fed and had the curtains on his car
riage, so that he did not see or hear
the approaching train. Just as the
carriage was on the track it was struck
by the engine and carried considera-
bile distance, the Doctors horse being
ef. on one side of the track and the
young lady's horse on the other. none
of the animals being injured save a
few scratches. DR.. Bevington's skull
was crushed, and Miss Elliott is suf-
fering from concussion of the brain
and an injury to one of her limbs.
Her recovery is regarded as doubtful.

His conduct was always dignified,

The deplorablc state of the press in

fact that Bishop Usher, on his way to

to preach was not in the book! The
