LONDON, April 12.-In the House O

adjournment that he might call atten.
ton to the outrageous conduct of the
authorities ut Ennis on Sunday last in
attacking the people. "If," he said,
"NIr. Balfour wanted to have such pow.
ers as had been used on that occasion,
let him come to Parliament and ask for
them. What had been done at Ennis
was practically the enforcement OF mar
tial law and went beyond the powers
conveyed by the coercion act. II Mr..
Balfour wished TO declare martial law
let him do so.
Mr.. Balfour, replying to Mr.. Parnell,
said that the people had assembled to
hold an illegal meeting. When Colonel
Turner and the police appeared showers
OF stones were hurled at them from the
windows Of the house where the leag-
uers met.
Mr.. Morley said he was not sure that
continuance Of the discussion would
carry the House further towards prac-
ticaI conclusion. When he was Irish
Secretary, if disturbance arose in Ire
land he did not stay in London to go to
q banquet to tell his friends that the
Irish question was great joke
[cheersl. He directed that there be
public inquiry on the subject OF such
disturbance and would recommend that
Mr.. Balfour should follow that prece-
dent.
Adivision was then taken on the motion
to adjourn, which was rejected by vote
OF 249 to 174.

A ROMANTIC STORY.
Husband and Wife United After Long and
NIysterIous Separation.

Husband and Wife United After n Long and
Mysterious Separation.
CHICAGO, April 12.-Michael Sullivan
left his home in Ore Hill, Conn, about
four years ago to seek his fortune
in California. He left behind wife and
one child, daughter 10 years of age.
Mr.. Sullivan made money rapidly in the
golden State and sent frequent remit
tances to his family. About two years
after leaving home he sent his wife 500
and told her to come to him. She went
to California in company with male re-
lative by the name OF Kelly. When she
arrived in San Francisco, no husband
was at the station to welcome her. She
went to the address given her by Mr..
Sullivan and learned that he had sud-
denly left two weeks before and nothing
had been heard from him since. Mrs.
Sullivan, assisted by Mr.. Kelly, in
stituted thorough search for the miss
ing husband and advertised literally,
but no tidings Of the lost one came. Fl
nally, after months vain search,
Mrs. Sullivan determined. to return

cago, and on the train between this city
and Omaha was robbed OF all her money
except a small amount of change. Ar
irving here, she secured shelter, and
since then has worked very hard to
maintain herself and child. Nothing
had been heard of her husband until
yesterday morning, when she received a
call from a detective, who questioned
her closely. He left the house, but
shortly aiterward returned with swar-
thy bearded man, and husband, wife and
child were again reunited. II appears
that Immediately after writing his wife
to join him, Mr.. Sullivan determined to
make trip to Arizona and inspectsom
mining property in which he was inter-
ested, intending to return to San Fran
cisco in time to meet his wife. At
Chandlas he met with severe accident,
and few days afterward brain fever set
in and he was confined to his bed for
over three months.

JUDGE FERGUSON DISGRUNTLED.
A Measure Highly Important to West Hir-

A Measure Highly Important to West Vir-
rinln Lawyers TINT Cannot Pass.
sseiai DiD1tch to The hicligeHcer.
WAsnlSGroN, D. G., April l2.-Judge
Ferguson, OF Kanawha county, had an
interview with Chairman Edmunds, Of
the Senate Judiciary Committee, to-day
to convince him that the bill introduced
by Senator Faulkner togive the sanction
Of law to the practice that has obtained
for time beyond memory in West Vir-
pinia Of taking dispositions in equity
eases pending in Federal courts, before
State officers, should be passed. This
is highly important measure to West
Virginia itigants and lawyers, as Judge
Jackson has upset the ancient practice
BY his ruling in the great land case OF
the Caperton heirs, made at Charleston
last fall and there is thus no substitute
for the practice. Judge Ferguson was
in this ease and the court had decided
in his favor, when Hon. Caleb Boggess
made issue to Court that dispositions
taken before State officials ard not COM
pctent in Federal court. Mr.. Boggess
dug up exceptions entered by him two
years before to Mr.. Ferguson's deposit
tiOns.
After argument Jackson sustained the
exceptions, rescinded the decree and
threw FcrgusOns evidence out OF court,
leaving him where he started years be-
fore. Thereupon, Ferguson drew the
bill introduced by Mr.. Faulkner. Faulk-
ner afterwards conferred with Edmunds
and the latter held that the rules pre-
Scribed by the Supreme Courtfor taking
depOsitons in chanCery causes, met
every difficulty. Faulkner coincided
fully on further examination; but Fer
gls8n was not satisfied; hence the inter
view between him and Edmunds to-day.
Mr.. Edmunds convinced Mr.. Ferguson
in about 20 minutes that q Federal sta
tute to apply to one State only would be
anomalous and wrong, The bill will not
be reported from the committee.
The next thing in order is for Judge
Jackson to comply with the long neg
lectcd Supreme Court rule, which re-
Quires district judges to appoint COM
missioncrs or examiners to take deposit
tions in equity cases. The Judicial Dis
trict OF West Virginia is now wholly
without these officers and dispositions
that will stand in Federal court cannot
he taken in the State. 1t is the duty OF
district judges under these rules to ap-
point general examiners, and they may
also appoint special examiners to suit
the necessities of cases or localities.
Judge Ferguson is very much disgruntled
over the summary manner in which
Senator Edmunds convinced him against
his will

legged, was abducted by Ensign Ryan, oi
the United States NAVY and taken to
New York, arrived here this morning in
company with New York detective.
Miss Parsons parents were at the station
when the train arrived and the scene
when the misguided young woman
stepped from the car was most affecting
She was at once driven to her home in
Allegheny, where an attempt was made
to interview her, but she refused to say
anything Of the affair.
Subsequently Miss Parsons consented to
be interviewed. She denied that Ryan
had deserted her in New York, or had
taken her to an infamous den. Said
she: ale took me to IL respectable
boarding house and told me all about
his going away. He did not desert me.
There was no broken heart about it.

DR.. Barker said to reporter to-day:
"'0n Tuesday l said the. chances OF Mr..

hundred. Yesterday | said they We're
one in twenty-five, and to-day l say
they are one in ten."
Shortly after II O'Clock DR.. Barker re.
ported that Mr.. CoDklingwas asleepand
all his symptoms were favorable. Let
ters and kilograms Of sympathy from all
parts OF the country continue to pourin.
Doctors Barker and Sands called at
9:l0 tonight and remained in Consulta-
ton until nearly 10. Then the doctors
left and DR.. Barker told the reporters
that Mr.. Conkling was in splendid con-
dition. When he went into the room
Mr.. Conkling recognized him and said:
II am glad to see you, Doctor" Then
he went to sleep, and he is now sleeping
quietly. Since 5 O'Clock he has taken
fifteen ounces OF milk. The Doctor says
he did not take his pulse or temperature.
but felt his pulse and found it good.
According to DR.. Barker, Mr.. Conkling
now has fair chance for recovering,
about one in ten. Mrs Conkling has re-
tired for tho night, and the only persons
in the room are DR.. Anderson and the
nurse

MR. pOMpERLYs COMPLAINTS.
Three Characteristic Letters to Come from
Him this Week.

PHILADELPHIA, Pa, April 12.-This
weeks Journal Of United Labor will pub
lish three letters from Master Workman
Powderly. In one OF them he complains
bitterly of the treatment the Knights Of
Labor receive at the hands OF certain
papers and says an editorial in one OF
them "takes me to task for entering into
a compact with the Brotherhood OF
Locomotive engineers to conduct the
present strike on the c., B. & Q. have
entered into deal and have not altered
my course particle.
'Believing that the man who will take
the place OF another while that other is
on strike is scab, cannot enter into
any arrangement which will counte-
nance the handling OF the Chicago, Bur.
lington & Quincy road by Knights OF
Labor. While l do not approve OF
strikes / will never lend my sanction or
aid to Knights or others to assist cor
poration obreak up any labor organiza-
ton. / am willing to enter into COM
pact with the Brotherhoods OF Locomo-
tive Engineers and Firemen to look after
and guard the interests OF labor for the
future.
In another letter he says: "The future
welfare of the toiling masses OF America
to-day is centered in the Knights Of La
Dor more than in any other order on
this continent and the man or woman
who would now destroy the hope OF
millions deserves the hatred and scorn
of future ages. Now that sus-
pended and defunct assemblies are
reyiving, old members returning,
and new ones coming in, 10
become the duty OF each assembly to
make the meetings so interesting that
interest will not die in the good work.
Appoint committees to meet and study
IN the best means OF raising the stand
ard OF American labor to itsiproper level
then when the committee makes its
report, discuss it carefully, so that the
best possible results will be reached do
not make motion to receive and file the
report OF the committee and never give
it Il thought again; act on it at once and
keep on acting. Each assembly should
be able to answer the following ques-
tions on call from headquarters:
How many children are engaged in
the mills, shops and factories OF your
place?
How many are working under the age
below which children should not work
in your State?
Are rents reasonable, too high, or are
they extortionate in your city or town?
In what proportion is property assess
ed in your locality?
Does the poor man pay as high rate
of taxation for his improved lot us the
wealthy man?
Does the man who holds town lots,
pay us high rate OF taxation for
the property which your labor is
making valuable as you pay on your
property? II not, why does he not do
so? Why should n man hold piece OF
land and refuse to sell it until the poPu-
fation increases so that he can demand
n fabulous price for it?
In q third letter he refers to his re-
cent Especial" for an assessment OF
fifteen cents on each member to raise a
fund for the purpose OF hiring lecturers
for the instruction OF members OF the
order.

LETTERS FROM BLAINE.
He Writes to His Son That He is Feeling
Exceedingly Well.

He Writes to His Son That lie is Feeling
Exceedingly Well.
NEW York, April 12.-Emmons Blaine
denies the reports OF his fathers ill
health. He was n guest at Everett
House yesterday, being on his way to
Boston for the Chicago, Santa Fe & Cali
fornia Railroad, Of which he is the Gen
eral Passenger and Freight Agent.
When asked about his fathers health,
he said:
"You can say in the. most emphatic
terms that all the stories about fathers
ill health are wholly unfounded. You
know he is inclined to make the most Of
any complaint-that is, he complains
over little illness. But he has not even
little thing to complain over, so You
may know how well he really is. l
know, because l got letters from him,
and from my mother and sister just rs
left Chicago yesterday. The letters
were dated at Naples.
Father wrote me that he was feeling
exceedinglywell, and the others corrobO-
rated this information, and said that
fathers fund OF life and spirit was fuller
than ever. He had some little twinges
at Florence that made him think he was
going to have rheumatism, but it all
went away. The stories that are being
spread around about his ill-health can
not be too severely denounced, because
of the anxiety they cause great many
OF his friends, who do not know to the
contrary; and but for their anxiety l
should not care anything about it."
"Will your father accept Presidential
nomination ?' he was asked.
"Oh, now, that's another topic. That
is politics, and as l am a plain business
man, you must excuse me-"
S. b. Elkins, who was with Emmons
Blaine during the interview, added this
information: 81 heard from Mr.. Blaine
ut Florence, when he was trihe under
the weather, but | have known for sew
cral days that he was improved and in
no such health asreported. There seems
to be a malicious purpose in these ru.
mors and they should be put down, if
they occur hereafter, as the emanation
OF malice"
James G Blaine, jr., was also seen yes
terday. He had just received letters
from his sister, written before the party
left Florence, in which she speaks OF the
health OF all the family and her fathers
excellent spirits.
