LONDON, February ,. Gladstone has
drafted the cabinet, but several Of the
gentlemen he has named are not pleased
with the positions assigned them and it
is therefore probable that notifications
will DO made, delaying the publication
ofthe official list. The Press AssOca-
ton gives the following as the latest
forecast of the new cabinet: Mr.. Glad
stone, first LORD of the Treasury and
Chancellor of the Exchequer: Sir VIM.
Vernon Harcourt, Home Secretary; Earl
Granville, Lord President of the Council;
Mr.. III. c. II. Childress, Secretary of War
The remainder are liable to alteration,
but they will probably be as follows
Mr.. Trevelyn, President of the Board of
Trade; Mr.. A. J. Mendell, President Of
the local Government Board; Earl Spen-
Ger, Secretary of Foreign Affairs: Earl
Rosenberg, Secretary for the Colonies;
Earl Kimberly, Secretary for India; W.
K. Chamberlain, First Lord Admiral:
Mr.. Morley, Chief Secretary for Ireland
1t is understood that the Queen objects
to Morley because he is pledged to home
rule.

TO A FOCUS.
That's the Way the Developments in the
Scott Murder Case are Leading.

The Patty Scott inquest was resumed
this morning, and the husband, Scott,
was being examined as to his where
abouts on the night OF the murder. He
has not yet proved an abb. The inyeS-
tigation of the jury will probably be
ended tonight and the result made
known. Several arrests of negroes have
been made, who have been detained
simply as witnesses, with no charges
being laid against them.
1t is believed, however, that several
OF these negroes, among them Henry
Washburn, Paul LennoX and Matilda
Michel, and man named Turner will
remain in jail after the inquest adjourns,
material evidence being found which the
Jury sees fit TO warrant in holding them
until disprOved.
Washburn, when arrested. wore r
pair of dirty Jeans pans, which looked
once bloody, and probably washed.

getting scratched while working in
garden. He has been employed on Mr.
Barnard's premises adjoining the scene
of the murder. as was also LennOX. who
cared for Mr.. Barnard's horses. and WAS
man of all work for Mr.. Chandler
1t is alleged that LennoX WAS living
with the woman Michel on South Flores
street, and was also paying attention to
Patty Scott, which were reciprOGated by
her. Michel was on very bad terms
with Patty because of this. and threat
ened to do mischief to both LennOX and
her If he did not cease. She went 10
Patty Scott's room a month ago and had
q quarrel with her, and raised such a
row that Mrs. Chandler ordered her of
the premises.
Washburn, it is alleged, knows Il good
deal more than he would like to re |. and
the evidence of the entire cloud of wit
nesses is very contradictory. one with
the other. The inmates OF the Michel
house all maintain they were in bed and
asleep by $3.50 o'clock Friday evening and
did not stir until next morning Michel
said she slept soundly all night and did
not awaken, and LennOX and lorna
swore positively that she awOke during

GOLD FOGIEs." !"

In these modern times a fast young man
Who can smoke, chew, drink and play"
And run up bills for the clothes he wears,
The bills which he will never pay.
| Thinks he is a man in wisdom ripe,
And what's for the best can see;
He does not want his fathers advice
g blind old fogy is he"
A fellow like this, one day last week
Upon Market street was seen
In crowd of men who stood around
curious, rare machine.
Among the rest was an aged man,
Whose locks were as white as snow:
He wished to see the improvements made
Since the days of long ago.
The dandy thought there might be a chance
For great display of wit,
And said: "Old togy, here's machine
That may help your case a bit.
One into which old fOgies are put,
And then by a crank run through
They come out young; you may think it strange
But It's not more strange than true"
The old man answered, 1--we been put through
How l came out you can see;
And six young men far better than you
Were made of the chips from me-"
The fast young man was completely stunned
By a shout and laughter peals:
He made no more display Of wit,
But made display of heels
Those with their fOreheads furrOwed by time,
Old fOgies we should not call
For most old men with their judgments ripe,
Buy clothes at the Tower Hall.
And doing this, an example set
For others to save their dimes;
Which shows that they are not fogies no!
But fully up to the times
Our sires and grandsires should command
Respect from those that are young:
He who would then as " old fOgies brand,
With the words should lose his tongue.
We hope that all, at the Tower Hall,
Will clothing for life engage
Be " up and dressed" while doing their best,
In keeping pace with age.
