LONDON, May "a.
The House of Lords, BY vote of l49 to
l2I, rejected the second reading of the bill
legalizing marriage with a deceased wife's
sister. The Prince of Wales supported the
bill. Nineteen bishops voted with the ma
jority.
Archbishop Walsh of Dublin has been in
the city for week TO try to influence the
followers of Parnell to consent to the reten
ton OF the Irish members at Westminster in
connection with the Irish home rule meas.
ure. Ii Is understood that Cardinal Man
ming having become alarmed at the prospect
OF withdrawal OF the Catholic home rule menu
bers from the British Parliament has urged
the College of Propaganda to exercise pres
sure on the Irish bishops with view of hav-
ing them exert their influence on Parnell in
favor OF the retention of the Irish members.
The ground taken by the cardinal is that the
removal OF the Irish members would be in. .
curious TO the cause of the Catholic denomi-
national education in Great Britain
Propaganda has succeeded in inducing the
bishops to exert their influence upon Parn-
ellis followers with an object of securing the
latter's consent TO the retention of the full
Irish representation at London
Negotiations between the Chamberlain
party and. the government continue and there
Is thought to be favorable prospect of the
settlement of the home rule question. A
cabinet council will be held tomorrow to
consider the limit concessions to be offered
before the division is taken on the home rule

F. W. Titcomb's shingle and saw mill at
Houlton, together with a large amount of
lumber burned, Sunday afternoon. The ORR
gin of the fire is unknown. A high west
wind prevailing, cinders were blown directly
upon the village and set fire to the buildings
of s. F. Milberry, which we're entirely con-
sumed, together with some stock. The house
and stable of Charles Lowering burned, and
the house of Benz. b. Smith was partly
burned. Kinney & Watson lost five hundred

The loss on Kinney & Watson's starch was

BARDWELL'S FERRY ACCIDENT.
lie Their Finding-NO Blame Attached
to Any One Connected With the Road
Bad Construction the cause of the
Disaster.

BOsTON, May "a.
The railroad commissioners have made
public their finding in the case of the acc-
dent at Bardwel's Ferry on the State road,
April 7, 1886, by which AZ persons were in
jured. of whom II were killed or have since
died. After minutely detailing the location
of the tracks and the circumstances of the
accident, the commissions say:
"The cause of the disaster was slide of a
part of the embankment, and the cause of
this slide was the concurrence of three faults
in construction. First, in 1866 and 1868,
when this portion of the road was recon-
structed over a very imperfect roadbed by
Messrs. Haupt & Co., piece of crib work
was placed in the embankment occupying
considerable space midway between the track
and river; this crib work was afterward
covered with earth and rock, so its presence
was not known to the present managers of
the road The contractor bad forgotten it
and denied there was any such work on the
road, but after the accident projecting ends
of timber revealed its existence, and examin-
alton revealed its extent and character. Pins
have rotted away and the timber has greatly
decayed. The second contributory cause of
the accident" the commissioners say, "was
the neglect to provide an open culvert by
which the water accumulating in
the ditch on the northerly side of the track
would be drained into the river. This cul-
vert was deemed necessary by engineers in
charge of "renovating" the road bed, but was
abandoned for some unknown reason. The
third defect was added when the second track
was built in 1884. Much broken rock was
dumped on the southern slope of the embank-
ment with the idea of widening it. Such of
the rock as reached the foot would aid in
sus aiming the bank, but that which remained
high and dry over weak spot would, by its
weight, become source Of danger and CO.
operate with water in producing final dis
aster Three causes together were needed
to produce the disastrous result and alto
gether they abundan,ly account for it. There
is no evidepce of any negligence or fault on
the part of the Fitchburg railroad or anyone
in its service, and at the praseDt state the
road officials appear to have exercised every
possible precaution for the safety of trains. y
The commissioners call especial attention to
the heriosm displayed by Engineer Littlejshn
at the time of the accident and to the services
rendered by other train employees who were
themselves suffering from injnries.

MURDER TRIAL.
Trial OF Maxwell for the Murder of Arthur
G. Prellar.

ST. Louis, May "a.
In the Maxwell murder trial TODAY, the
sensational testimony was given by J, f.
Mccullough, detective, who under the di-
recnon OF Detective Furlong, District Attor-
ney Glover and his assailant Mcdonald.
forged CHECK on the Eastern House and pre-
sented it at one of the city banks. He was
arrested and placed in Jail and assigned the
cell adjoining that of Maxwell He testified
that Immediately after his incarceration he
introduced himself to Maxwell and worked
himself into his confidence, and about ten
days afterwards became engaged in csnver-
satlon with him about the murder case Dur
ing the conversation the defendant told wit
ness that the only point in his case about
which he felt uncertain and uneasy was that
concerning money.
He said if he could only prove that he had
plenty of money when Prellar came to St.
Louis he would have no doubts about a
speedy acquittal. The witness told him that
he would fix that all right, but told the de-
fendant he must know all about the case or
he could do nothing. Maxwell made a free
and full confession of all parts of the case,
beginning first with Prellar On shipboard
he noticed Prellar had in his possession a
large amount of money how they separated
in Boston, Prellar going to Philadelphia and
Maxwell to st. Louis. The defendant in this
confession said that on Friday night, after
Prellar Joined him here, he told him MAX
wcll) it would be impossible for him to pay
defendants passage to Auckland whittier they
had arranged to go together. This, said the
defendant to witness, sngered him greatly
and he determined then to Fix" him for his
meanness.
On the following night he and Prellar were
sitting in the formers room, when the latter
complained Of severe pain IN his side.
Maxwell said, "Ob, can fix that all right
have treated such cases before" He then
injected hypodermically into his friends arm
a sufficient amount of morphine as to render
him unconscious. After he had been in this
condition some time he bound a cloth saturat.
ed with chloroform about his friends head,
land this" he confessed to the witness,
"ended the business" He then secured all
of Prellar's money-about $500 in all
besides most OF his valuable personal effects,
and planned his escape, the details of which
are so we'll known.

OF the knights of Labor. A petition, signed
by many of the stockholders of the CORPORA

heene Bros started their shoe factory this
afternoon, but not one of the striking lasters
returned to work. The factory was operated
by the old crew, including the sixty men dis
charged Saturday. Mr.. Daley of Lynn, of
the Laste-'s Union, arrived on the evening
train.

The employees in the Nelson, Morris & Co.
establishment at the stock yards, protest
at going to work at Z o'clock. p-eferring an
hour later. Friday evening the employees
Joined the X. of L., and Saturday appointed
committee which waited on Supt. Newgoss
and made known the workmen's wishes. Mr..
Newgoss told the committee that he expected
the men to go to work whenever it was nee
essary, and that it was impossible to sIaugh-
ter cattle in the heat of the day. They were
working eight hours and would be paid for
over time.
MIR. Newgoss said Sunday that the company
was losing money at the rate of $500 week
under the new scale of hours and wages and
that II the old scale was not resumed the
house would be closed.
Freight handlers held a meeting Sunday
afternoon with an attendance of more than
500 men. large number Joined the organ
ization. 1t was concluded that there was little
prospect of securing eight hours, all roads
having obtained what men they need at ten
hours.
Late Saturday night meeting of sash,
door and blind manufacturers was held. The
| SUBJECT under discussion was the present
standard of wages and whether Chicago firms
could maintain the same and compete with
other cities.
The whole matter was thoroughly discussed
and the conclusion reached that the old scale
of work and wages would either have to be
returned to or the mills closed. Accordingly
it was resolved to make an effort today to 90
back to the old system, and that failing, to
shut down altogether.
| The resolution was discussed at a meeting
of the wood carvers and machine hands union
yesterday, and vote on the question called
for. BY this time it was decided that should
the manufacturers endeavor to go back to the
old standard today that the entire union will
90 out on strike.
PITTsBURG, Pa, May "a.
The board of arbitration chosen to settle
the differences between street car men and
