The Government Party in the Commons
Overriding Opposition.


LONDON, December 4th.-In the Com
mons this evening Lord Randolph Churchill
moved TO adjourn the debate in order to
discuss the sending of troops to Suakim.
He said he believed the Government was
going against the advice of high and re-
sponsible military authorities. For what
end was a mere handful of British soldiers
exposed to an encounter with the S0udaG-
ese? Stanhope, Secretary of War, de-
Tended the action of the Government, and
the motion was rejected.
O'Brien, resuming The Irish debate, made
long and vigorous attack upon Baliour
for his treatment OF Vaudeville. He de-
fed Balfour to face the English people
again and try to do to death the Parnellites
who refused to acknowledge themselves
miscreants.
Balfour, replying, entered denial of the
charges. He said the matter had now been
thoroughly threshed, and it might safely
be left to the judgment of The country.
t. P. O'Connor and Harrington followed.
Ellis motion, relative to a reduction of
the Irish appropriations, was rejected by a

An Old Man Horribly Maltreated
In an Endeavor to Make Him
Give Up His Money.
HUNTINGTON, Pa. Jan. ga dis
tardly outrage was perpetrated IN Hen
derson township this morning, which
will probably result in the death of the
victim, Henry Merrltts, wOOdsman.
About 1 o'clock three masked men en-
tered the hut of Merritts' and demanded
to be shown where his supposed wealth
was concealed. For several years Mer
ritts has been engaged in the lumber
business and had accumulated about
$4,000, which were secreted in the base
ment of his dwelling. His assailants
bound and gagged him and falling in
their efforts to extort confession by
these means, then held his bare feet to
the fire and otherwise maltreated him in
amost shocking manner. Finally becOm-
ing unconscious, his asSailants left him
and searched the hut for his hidden
wealth. Beneath the floor they found
over 1900 hidden in flour sack, but
this is all they secured, as the other
money belonging to him was hidden a
short distance from the house. Merritts
was found this morning by neighbOr,
still bound and gagged, and owing to
his advanced years it is thought the
maltreatment he received will result in
his death.

Prominent Citizens in an Ohio
Town Arrested for Stealing
Coal.
SPRINGFIELD, o., Jan. 2G.-An extern
sive and systematic coal steal has been
discovered at cambridge, Ross county,
Ohio, small town on the Ohio South
ern railroad. A carload of coal would
at times disappear in single night, and
the populations became SO extensive
that the railroad company employed de-
tectives to unearth the thieves. The
result has been the arrest of fif-
teen prominent citizens of Balm
bridge, including the marshal. hotel
proprietor and Presbyterian preacher.
Detectives say half of the citizens Of
the town are implicated in the steal.
The peculations amount to. many hum
dreds of dollars, and the extent of them
may be imagined when it is known that
although coal is universally used in
cambridge, not a single carload has
been billed to a resident OF that place
this winter
