IRELAND has 103 members in the Eng
lish parliament, of this number 50 are
Nationalist, selected and elected with
special reference to support Parneii s
policy. The Liberal or Gladstone party
has small majority over the combined
forces of the Conservatives and National
lists. This excess is 80 small however
that it would be a very precarious con-
tingent TO rely on to keep the "grand old
man" in power. Hence, Parpell holds
the balance of power between the two
parties and he is likely to throw his vote
10 the party that will give the best
measures to Ireland. Rumor says that
both Gladstone and Salisbury have made
overtures for TIE support of the Irish and
that home rule in some matters, will be
conceded GO ireland in return for the
Irish votes. The reasons for Parnell
opposing the Liberals in the late sieetlon
is now obvious. Did he support them
their majority would be SO large that the
Irish delegation could not WELD the in
fuence it now does with the English
parties so evenly divided. The world
watches with much interest this fight for
instics by constitutional methods and no
fair man but hopes it may result in
success.

A Terrible Tragedy In Connecticut.

Barclay johnson, the son of J. Augustus
johnson, lawyer of SO Wall street, New York,
a graduate of Harvard college and of the Col
umbia college of law, shot and killed his
mother and sister and then committed suicide,
at his home in Greenwich, Conn. Johnson
was supposed to have been insane. He
took walk with his mother and sister
house, complaining of a severe pain
in his head. He recovered somewhat after
lunch, however, and with his mother and sister,
started out to take another walk. Miss Johnson
was extremely beautiful She started out in the
best of spirits and seemed determined to over
come, if possible, her brothers melancholy.
They disappeared down the road laughing and
chatting. At the rocks at Indian Harbor point
they stopped for a rest. Charles F. Adams, a
young farmer, was at work across the point in
his garden. Suddenly he heard pistol shot
He looked across the inlet and saw a little pu If
of blue smoke rising above the rocks. Then
he saw girlish figure scrambling over the
point She was screaming. moment later
a flash of light appeared and before the sound
had reached the farmers ears the girl turned
and fell PROSTATE at her brother feet, dead Adj
ans started toward the PROSTATE girl. This
all occurred within very few minutes and
before Adams had gone a yard, johnson had
fired bullet into his mothers head. He
stopped over the bodies a moment to see
how thoroughly he had done his work, then
placed the muzzle into his mouth, and fired.
The ball passed clear through his head
and he dropped to the ground corpse.
Five persons witnessed the occurrence, but
none of them saw the party before their at
tention was attracted by the first shot, how
ever, and none of them know what occurred
between johnson and his mother and sister be-
fore he fired. Young Johnson was just be-
ginning the practice of law. Johnsons mother
was sister of William Walter Phelps.

Found Guilty at Last.

The Baker-Davidson sedue ton case, on trial
for several days past, at Sparta, Wis, was con-
cluded with ID verdict of guilty. The action
was first brought July, 1882, before justice OF
the peace 1t then went to the circuit court
and was continued over one term, coming to
trial in April, 1883. The verdict was guilty,
but the court granted a new trial on the
ground of error in admitting improper evil
dence. The case was continued over to the
October term of 1888, but was again
tried last spring, when the jury tailed
to agree The case was again continued until
last fall upon motion of defendants attorneys.
Florence Davidson is the daughter of farmer
living near Oakdale, and is now twenty-five
years old She is very intelligent and prepos-
sessing. She gave birth to a child in April,
1881, and charged James o. Baker with being
its father Baker is the son of wealthy
farmer, and was station agent and postmaster
at Oakdale at the time. Since then he has been
transfe. red TO Cashton as station agent, and
has married The verdict meets the approx.
al of the public almost universally.
