Only With Her Death.

Only With Her Death.
SPRING VALE, Me-, Dec. 24.-On
Thursday last John Bernier, a French
Canadian, aged thirty-five, was con-
victed of cruel and abusive treatment of
his wife, and was fined S14 so. During
the trial he was heard to threaten to
"get event. with his wife. On Saturday
morning a doctor was called to Mrs.
Bernier, and found her suffer-
ing from poisoning with
paris green, which her husband
said she had taken despite his efforts to
prevent her. Next day it was learned
she was dead. Examination of the facts
seemed to show that on Friday night,
while the woman was still~suffering from
the poison, Bernier beat her cruelty and
thrust her out of doors into the bitter
cold. She crept back and he beat her
again She died Sunday. Inquest Will
be held at once. The deceased leaves
three little children, the youngest only

SAN ANTONIO, TEX, Dec. 24.-Ex-
Governor John c. Ireland was in the city
to-day. In conversation with repre-
sentative of the press with reference to
politics and other matters the governor
said: "'Yon are yet young man, but if
the Republicans pursue what seems to
be their deliberately adopted policy
you may never see another
Democratic administration. They will
admit new Republican states and in many
ways contrive to hold power, and you
know the cohesive power of plumber.
There is likely to be Il change, too, in the
views of the South as to the tariff. L
am not indorsing the theory when
| say that tariff viii doubtless grow in the
South. We have a longer and better
season for labor. Labor can live more
cheaply than there. We have the mate
rial and will have the port. The time
Will come when New England Will be
where we have been. We will DO the
manufacturing she now does, and her
bleak and barren hills will stand out de-
serted monuments of past industry. We
will yet dominate Ill business -
The governor takes no flOwery view of
the immediate Democratic future, but
has an abiding faith in the ultimate tri-
umph of its principles.

A DYNAMITER SENTENCED.
Guilty and Sent Up-What Brod-
erick Says.

CHICAGO, Ill. Dec. 24.-Prvate ad-
vices from Geneva, III. are to the effect
that sealed verdict in the case of George
Bauereisen was opened by the court this
morning. 1t found the prisoner guilty
and fixed his punishment at two years III
the penitentiary. The crime with which
BauereiSen was charged was conspiracy
to mjure property of the Chicago, Bur-
lngton and Quincy Railway Company
with dynamite. Baueresen was one of
the striking engineers of that road.
The officials of the Chicago, Burlington
and Quincy Railroad Company say that
they had hoped for longer time, but they
are nevertheless pleased with the verdict.
There were two counts in the Indictment,
one for unlawful use of dynamite, the
least penalty for which under the statute
is five years, the other was for conspiracy
TO use dynaIaite, the penalty for which is
only two years. The jury convicted
under the lighter ssIInt. 1t was evidently
Il compromise verdict. An appeal has
been prayed by counsels for Bauereisen.
The prosecution of the cases against
Bauereisen in the statGycOurts and against
Bauereisen in the federal courts will de-
pend somewhat onthe action of the APP
pellate court i'll BaAereisen 5 appeal.
John A. Br0deTick, one of Bauereis-
ems co-defepdahts, who Is now in Jail
here, was seen after. thgannouncement
of the verdict. He SID when told the
result of the trial, 'Well, they have
convicted an innocent man, and l could
have proved that if, they had taken and
put me on the staItd.'::
"Why did they not use you as wit
ness?'' y,
''Wen, I do not know. 1t appeared
that the prosecutid6 did mot want me,
and they said the defenSe could not have
me, seeing l was in the custody of the
Emitted States courts;
"Haven't you heard that the defense
have been denouncing you all through
the trial as Pnkerton detective?
"That is the reason the prosecution did
not want to. use me as a witness. They
did not want the fact to come out. That
could have been brought out if had
been examined. Thaysis what they were
afraid of. - &
..You admit, then, bsng Pinkerton
detective?''
"Well, l don t want to say that at this
stage of the case, but l do say Bauer
eisen is an innocent man, and know
it could have been proved if l had been
put on the stand. Bowles is the guilty
one. 1t Is he who should have got that
sentence. -

WASHINGTON, Dec. "a A man who
gave his name as Frank II .Schenider, but
who is said to have been Baron Arteri of
Germany died this morning at the Met
ropolItan hotel. He had been here about
six weeks, and during his sojourn in this
city he had spent money with extravagant
reckIessness. Little is known about him
in this city, but from hints he let fall at
various times it is surmised that
some crime committed in Germany caused
him to fear the revelations of his identity.
1t is said that Arteri, rs he is now called,
was heir to large estates in Russia and
Galicia and that he was led to this coun-
try by an infatuatiOn for an American
girl. A sensational story which is being
circulated tonight claims that Schneider
was really TascOtt who muir
dered Banker Smell of Chi
cago. Little importance, however,
is attached to this story. The hotel clerk
said to-day that Baron Arteri told him
portion of his history. Arteri said he
was not really a count, but had the title
of baron. He left Germany seven years
ago, and was in Mexico where he worked
i'll mercantile house for four years.
firing of this he returned TO Fort Worth,
Tex, where he remained year and saw
pretty rough time. After a years res
idence i'll Fort Worth, he became profess
sor of languages at the female seminary
of Columbus, Tenn. where he was still
teaching when year ago the news
reached him of his fathers death and he
came into his inheritance. He expected
to remain but a week when he came to
Washington, but liked the city so well
that he decided to remain until the first
of the year, when he said he was going to
"do'' New York and Boston and then
return home.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 24.-Two or three
of the speakership candidates were ut the
capital to-day occupied with their CORE
spondence
The subcommittee at work on the
naval and sundry civil appropriation bills
were in session.
Mr.. Holman and Ri. Kilgore, the
rival DIRECTORS of the house., were both in
theiTYseats. Each discovering the others
presence accused him of not wanting to
take any risks of recess legislation \ few
visitors were i'll the building.
Some very interesting cabinet talk is
being INDUCED IN by a select circle of
well informed politicians here. BY them
three things are regarded as practically
assured. These are, t4&it Mr. Blaine win
be secretary of statS after the 4th of
March, that McKinleSwill be secretary of
the treasury and that Wanamaker also
will be in the cabinet ~ There are many
reasons, aside from. fhis eminent fitness
for the place, given for crediting the re-
port that Mr. Mckinley will be made
secretary of the treasury. As long as
Mr.. Sherman was being considered III
connection with the state department,
it left the considerations of another Ohio
man for cabinet honops' out of the ques-
ton but if Mr.. Blahie is to be secretary
of state, Mr.. Sherrnan, of course, is
not, and at once the way
is opened for Mr.. Mckinley.
The announcement that he is likely to be
given the appointment is credited by his
associates in the house generally and is
received with considerable satisfaction.
1t is generally felt that it would be a
creditable selection and one thing may be
-de9epded upon all the other candidates
foTSpeaker of the house will give their
endorsement to the appointment.

GENERAL HARRIs6N's CALLERS.
Ex-senator Henry G. Davis Of West Virginia
Pays Social Visit.

IuSS d SNChStt 'lS1V'
INDIANAPOLIS, IND, yec. 24.-Not
withstanding the general publication this
morning of notice that GENERAL Har-
rison would hold no receptions. during the
holiday week he had n greater number of
visitors to-day than usual. Ex-senator
Henry G.. Davis of West Virginia arrived
in the city late last night and was an
early visitor at the Harrison residence
this morning, departing for home on the
noon train. The presence of Ex-senator
Davis has given rise to considerable news
paper speculation regarding that
gentleman politics, and his De-
mocracy is impeached in some
quarters as the result of his
visit. Upon the authority of General
Harrison it may be stated that Senator
Davis visit had no political significance
whatever, and politics was not discussed.
The ex-senator visit was purely social,
as it is well known that during their joint
residence in Washington the ladies of the
two families formed mutual attach
ment, and the eX-SenatOr's youngest
daughter, now Mrs. Lieutenant Brown,
was one of the bridesmaids at Mrs. Me-
Kee' s wedding. General and Mrs. Har-
rison have frequently been guests of Sen
ator and Mrs. Davis at Deer Park.

"those that are not for us are against

1t is mtimated that they propose to
count the votes that were not voted,
for the Republican candidate. In
those states where the state elections
came off at different tines from the
National election the vote will be
small. as people do not feel that in
