murderous Assault.

Messrs. Fred Keine, a former bar
keeper, and Harry Russell, a hackdriver,
are In duranCe vile on charge Of muir
derous assault, preferred by a negro
hackman who drives hack for Mr.. Joe
MsCrer. The negro charges that Kleine
and Russell approached him while he
was on his hack at 2 O'Clock this morn
ing, and wanted him to drive them out
Garden street. Recognizing them and
being afraid of them, for some cause
which no doubt he prudently failed to
divulge, he refused to haul them, when,
as he says, thAy jumped upon his box,
pulled him of and beat him up terribly,
and finally threw him under the horses
and drove over him. The negro did not
show many bruises suggestive of the
rough treatment he alleged. Neverthe-
less the men were arrested by the police.

British Parliament Affairs.

LONDON, February lS.-BOth Houses
were crowded, Lord Harrington took a
seat behind the treasury bench and was
loudly cheered by the conservatives.
The crowd outside of the parliament
buildings, which usually gives an en- HUI
siastic reception to the Prime Minister,
only family cheered Gladstone upon his
arrival. There is general feeling OF
discomfort over the mesgreness of the
Governments statements regarding its
proposed Irish measures. The fact that
the Government made no announcement
of its programme for the introduction of
bills affecting Ireland, is taken as an IN
dication that the Cabinet is still unde-
cided as to what course Ii shall pursue.
In the House of Lords the Marquis OF
Salisbury said he would wait to see
what changes six weeks would give to
the policy of the Government. His re-
marks were greeted with cheers. The
tories Vainly tried to goad Lord Rose
berry, Foreign Secretary, to speak on
the situation in the East, which is very
critical.
In the House of Commons Gladstone
said the desire of the Government was
TO propose to the House measures of a
positive and substantial character deal
ing with Ireland respecting social order
and the questions of land and the future
government of Ireland, including
method for such government. He said
that further statement on the subject
would be made on the 22d of March. The
House resumed debate on the address in
reDly to the Queens sppech

That Tree.

oh, wOodman, spare that tree;
In youth it sheltered me-"
was the cry that went up from the
jewellers In the vicinity of North Flores
and BelvIn streets, yesterday afternoon,
when street Commissioner Nelson or
dered his men to cut down a beautiful,
large spreading liveOak tree that stood
just little out of the line of the side
walk into the street. The tree was cut
down and is now piled on the only wood
pile at the bat cave. Mr.. Nelson says
there were some very strong objections
raised to the tree being cut, but 1t is
supposed on account of his gigantic d.
mansions, he surmounted all difficulties,
and rode triumphantly to the bat cave
on the tree.
