| PAUTuCKRT, r. l., Feb. GA few days
ago Edward Carney, of East Cambridge,
Mass, was hired through tho medium of the
postottice, to work for George X. Worrall
4 Co, barrel manufacturers Carney
arrived here Friday morning and drove out
to Mr.. Warral's house On being admitted
In the door by Mrs Warrall he Immediately
attempted to embrace her. The lady s
sister, Miss Nellie Biggers, coming
to the rescue, he knocked her down
and clutched her by the throat
A man named Herbert O. Craig
rushed in and attacked Carney
with barrel stave, but failed to
make him loosen his hold, and went to seek
more effective weapon. At this point an
other sister, named Alice Biggers, entered
the room and was set upon by Carney
She fed, and, catching her foot in briar,
fell to the ground. Carney pounced upon
her, and drawing pocket knife plunged
the blade repeatedly into her body. At
this point l4-year- old son of Mr.. Worrall
came kupon the scene and stuck Carney
with stone In the back of the head.
The blow seemed to sober the brute
who turned from his victim and
ran. He was chased and captured by
neighoors, and handed over to the police
He appeared to act in half-crazy manner
He is a well-dressed, good-looking man,
about IS years old. Miss Alice Biggers is
about IS years of age Her condition is
critical, and fears are entertained that her
wounds will prove fatal. There are seven
cuts upon her body, two on her neck, one on
the left breast, one under the left shoulder
blade, one on the right and ono on the left
hand. Her clothing was completely coy

4 CLAUSE THAT COVERSIT

BILL TO THE CONSTITUTION.

| Congress Has Power to "Proyidc for tho
General Welfsre"-The Discussion OF
the Silver Question-The Fadrones of
Itsly-Woman Suffrage Convention.
speech on the educational bill in the senate
Friday, Evarts held that the bill was en-
tirely constitutional He quoted the clause
Of the constitution setting forth that con-
gresss should have power to lay and impose
taxes to pay the debts and provide for the
common defense and the general welfare"
This he construed to be "a trust power" in
legal Interpretation, and the trust covered
as well the general welfare" as the com
mon defense" That trust power" was to
pay the debts and provide for the common
defense and the general welfare of the
United States" EvartS saw no distinction
as TO the terms of this trust
between money raised by taxation and
money raised by the sale of public lands
What was the power of taxation given to
congress for, if not that its results should be
used for the common defense and general
welfare9 Education was surely something
that must be cared for in connection with
the common defense and the general well
fare" Was the necessity for building
fort in Boston harbor, or at the New York
narrows or was the necessity for the building
OF jetties at the mouth of the Mississippi
more OF necesSity-more national al-more
unlversal-then the necessity to provide for
the situation produced by the greatest trans
action that has happened in civilization-the
changed condition of the people in this coun-
nv!

WASHINGTON CITY, Feb 22-In the house
Friday the members interested in private
bills protested with much earnestness against
wasting the precious hours of private bill
day, which comes only once week, i'll a
discussion about coinage, but their protest
had little effect. Morrison gravely assured
the house, and especially Chairman Bland,
OF the coinage committee, that he deprecated
the irregular discussion, although he per-
mitted it, and not few Of the
thirty-eight mon now on the list to
make speeches on coinage pending
the tax bill relating to fractional gallons Of
whisky testify that he encouraged them to
engage in the irregular discussion. Mr.
Bland thought the time was auspicious for
the adoption of a resolution making the sill
YER question special order and fixing a
date for the beginning of the discussion He
wanted it to begin regulasly and continue
from day to day until the subject was ex-
haustsd, but Mr.. Steele of Indiana objected,
and Mr. Bland will have to take his chances
for getting the subject before the house and
under the control Of his COMMITTEES. If the
two appropriation bills awaiting considera
ton do not interfere it is probable that the
debate will begin sometime next week, but
when the end will come no man can tell

IRgLANo's LORD LIEUTENANT.
His Entrance into Dublin Celebrated by
Free Fight.

Free Fight.
DUBLIN, Feb. 32.-The earl of Aberdeen,
lord lieutenant of Ireland, made his formal
entrance into Dublin Saturday He rode in
all open carriage from the railway station
to the castle, attended by the officers of his
military staff and Of his official household,
but with no guard Of police or soldiera His
reception was cold and indifferent. No flags
were display ed in honor of the event, and
there was only an occasional and feeble
cheer from the small groups Of people who
had assembled to witness the procession.
AS the yiceroy and his suite rode through
great Brunswick street a large number Of
students of Trinity college, who had assem-.
bled in College Green, formed into line and
joined the rear of the procession They dis
played various Loyalist emblems and led all
the cheering that there was for the queen
and the viceroy. This demonstration gave
otfenss to the Nationaltsts who lined the
streets and they made furious attack upon
the students. The latter were armed with
short sticks and they fought desperately,
Their line, however, was speedily broken in
several places, and they became isolated in
small groups, which were easily broken by
their older and heavier antagonists. The
rioters used sticks, stones tied UP in hand
kerchiefs, and other improyised weapons.
Many persons on both sides were wounded,
the injuries Of some Of them being so serious
that they were taken to hospitals. After
the students were thoroughly vanquished
the police charged upon the rioters aud dis
perSed them. No attack was mado upon the
earl Of Aberdeen or any Of his suite.

SHOCKING REVELATIONS.
The Traffic in Human Lives as Carried o
by the Padrone of Italv

The Traffic in Human Lives as Carried on
by the Padrones of Italy.
WASHINGTON CI1Y, Feb. 22-Celso
Caesar Moreno an italian who was once
prime minister of the Hawaiian kingdom,
will appear before the house committee or
labor next Tuesday evening. He has a
shocking revelation to make about Italian
slavery in this country. The Moreno bill
which Sumner and Garfield sponsored in
1874 in the senate and house respectively,
has proved Intellectual to stop the traffic in
Italians. The connivance fsItalian consuls
in the large cities this country has made
evasion of the provision of that bill
simple Moreno will expose some most re-
voting phases Of the degradation and in
fanny OF this slave importation. He says
that young Italian peasant girls are deported
from their own country under false pre-
tenses to stock the houses of prostitution
here: Young boys are brought as slaves to
play the violin and men to grind the organ,
with or without monkeys. Laborers are
imported to work on railroads at low wages,
Tho padrones Of Italy have an organization
to traffic in human lives, and this country
is their principal theater of operations.
Morsno hopes to have the present law so
amended as to rescue these unfortunate hu,
man beings from the bondage Of Italian
padrones5

NEW YORK, Feb 22-The National Civil
Service Reform league issued a circular Fri
day saying that at a meeting of the league
resolutions were passed to the effect that as
publicity in all matters connected with ap-
pointments to and removals from

public offices for partisan uses, and
thereby greatly advance the reforEi Of

that the United States senate abandoned the
practice of discussing nominations in secret
session; that laws be enacted making it tbs
duty of the appointing power to put OF
public record the reasons for all appoint
meuts and removals; that recommendations
for appointments or reasons for removal
from Office should be treated as part of tho
