a sLAsHIMc SENSATION.
The Latest Development fn the mar.
derOus Methods OF San Francisco.

The latest sensation was the attempt by
Mrs. John Kerrigan to slice off with a razor
the head of Mrs. Emma Lathrop, a lodging
house keeper at 800 Dupont street. A
striking popularity about the crime Is the
fact that every one connected with Il or
affected by it is either divorced or engaged
in proceedings for divorce. Mrs. Kerrigan
is sueing her husband for divorce; Mrs. La
throp is being sued for divorce by her hus-
band, who was previously divorced from an
Oakland woman Annie Carpenter is q
divorced woman, and Mr.. Bird is being
sued for divorce by his wife-two of the di-
vorces being instituted because of the infiu-
ence of one woman who is being sued for a
divorce by divorced man. Mrs. Lathrop
is dangerously wounded, and her assailant
is lodged in the city prison, seemingly only
a little bored at being the center of SO much
inquiry. The assault occurred soon after
noon. It seems most probable that Mfa.
Kerrigan was mistaken in supposing that
Mrs. Lathrop was the mistress Of her hus-
band, and there is a question whether she
is at all times in the full possession of her
mental faculties.

Michael Davitt, speaking at Holloway,
said he believed that Gladstone was the
only English states nan who had the couc-
age and ability to grapple with the Irish
problem and establish peace between Eng
land and Ireland. The Premier, Mr.. DAY.
lit said had olraady q~Gtlvsl tiIv sfs.s,stt0u
religious inequality, and had made an
honest attempt to solve the land problem.
His failure to deal in satisfactory manner
with the latter question was due TO the fact
that he had not gone to the root of the mat
ter.
Archbishop Croke approves of the scheme
to buy out the Irish landlords. The Arch
bishop believes that the rental of the whole
of Ireland is under e7, 900, 900, and fur
ther, that as the Irish tenantry will not ac-
cept the scheme of giving the landlords
anything like twenty years rent for pur-
chase, the estimate, he thinks, of $780,
900, 900 is too high. He believes that the
present imperial expenditure in Ireland of
GA, 000, 900 is ample to meet the interest on
the funds required for the purchase of land.
The Irish leaders do not ask for confisca-
ton, only fair play. They do not dream OF
separating from England.

CLApsToNE's ADDRESS.
He Outlines the Policy of the New
British Ministry.

Gladstone has issued his election address
to the voters of Midlothian. The Prime
Minister states that the new Government
will institute inquiry as to the entire land
question in Ireland and into the question
whether there exists any necessity for the
introduction of specially coercive measures
in legislation for The Irish people; but the
main policy of the Government shall be to
endeavor to reach the source and seat Of
mischief generally admitted that exists in
that country. Following is one of the SEN
fences which indicates pretty plainly the
outlines of Irish policy decided upon by
Gladstone: &" Although the difficulties of
the task make it impossible to anticipate
success with confidence, we shall draw COM
fort from the knowledge that we are engaged
in a great work of peace" The Premier
says that there are three questions concern
ing Ireland which demand the attention of
Parliament: The question of social order,
the question of land reform and the ques-
ton of self-government. The desire for
self-government must necessarily be subject
to the law of imperial unity. The Govern.
ment hopes to find a safer and more effec
tual method than coercion for the remedy
OF social troubles.
The Queen, acting upon the advice Of
Gladstone, viii appoint a successor to Ear
Carnarvon, Lord-Lieutenant of Ireland.

Mut,ny, on "a RerormatOry Ship.

mutiny occurred among the lads on the
reformatory ship Clarence, lying in the
Mersey. At preconcerted signal the lads
in body attacked the officers with Delaying
pins, firearms and other weapons. The
officers drew their revolvers and fired. The
boys continued their assault and at last
compelled the officers to seek shelter in
their cabins. The lads then lowered the
boats, into which they crowded, and drifted
down the stream with the tide. The Clar-
ence's officers, after the departure of the
boys, made signals to the authorities ashore,
and several boats filed with police put out
and called upon the boys to surrender
The youngsters, deeming resistance to be
useless, gave up and were taken back to the
ship. The ringleaders were placed in irons
Eighteen lads and two officers received
wounds in the fight. Two years ago the
lads confined on the Clarence set fire to the
ship.

A TELEcRAPHrc MARVEL.
Sending and Receiving Messages on n
Train In Motion.

The Railway Telegraph and Telephone
Company gave an exhibition on the Staten
Island railway of the new method of send
ing and receiving telcgraphic messages on
railway train under full Roadway. The
battery was in one of the passenger cars,
with a ground wire connecting with the
axle of the wheels and the track. The
other wire was connected with the tin roof
of the car. The car roofs were connected
by an insulated wire. The common electric
magnet, worked by Morse key, was used.
From the car roof the messages were trans
mited, by induction, to the permanent wires
along the line of the railroad a distance of
% to 80 feet. Messages were sent to and
from New York and other points with per-
feet facility, while the train was running at
the rate of thirty miles an hour.

possession of the barracks without any great
risk to themselves, then to murder Presl-

all the foreigners, and finally to sack the
city. The discovery of the plan led to the
arrest of about fifty persons, including some
