The Governments Professions of Neutrality
In the Parnen Commission Attacked.
LONDON, March 21.-In the house of com
mons this afternoon Mr.. Morley adduced mass
of details respecting witnesses for the Tines
with the view of disproving the gov
ernments professions of neutrality. These
details were mainly drawn from facts
elected by daily questioning in parliament
Mr.. Balfour professed that he had not followed
the proceedings of the Parnell commission
with much interest. That was surprising.
One would have expected that the
minister who fired the train would
have curiosity enough TO note the result of the
explosion. In regard to the proposed vote Of
censure, it would be irrational to propose il
now, because fresh disclosures were made
daily; but 1t would come in good time.
Mr. BalfOur, amid continued opposition
laughter, described the charge that the govern
ment was connected with the Times through
Houston and PiggOtt as a scandalous and un-
founded libel.
T. p. O'Connor was called to order for charg-
ing Lord Salisbury and Mr.. Balfour with trying

again. An exciting scene ensued, Mr..
O'COnnOr twice refusing TO withdraw
the remark as far as it concerned Lord
Salisbury, amid approving cries Of his col
leagues. The chairman appealed to the men,
bers both sides to assist in keeping order,
but he did not further insist upon the with
drawal Of Mr. O'COnnOr's remark

and n Husbands Misfortune.
CHICAGO, March 19.-Herman Bernicke was
arraigned in q police court this morning,
charged with burglary. having been caught in
the act of stealing box Of carpenters tools.
To the magistrate he told the following story,
which he declared to be as true as gospel:
Thirteen years ago left Germany for South
Australia. had good wife and five as pretty
children as ever man was blessed with. had
some money and l put il into sheep ranch,
and was very successful, and in four years L
had as big a ranch as any in my county, and
was worth not far from E50000 Ii seemed
that was too happy and il could not last. The
hrst misfortune that came 10 me was the loss of
three OF my children, who died within month,
of the Australian fever. The blow had hardly
fallen, it seemed. before the other two were
taken from me In the same way"
The narrator stopped short in his narrative
and wiped the tears from his eyes.
"Ah, judge" he began again, "that is not

AETER IhlRIY-EouR YEARS
A Highly Respected Couple in the Divoroe
Court.
LWednesday's Daily Sentinel. ]

[Wednesday's Daily Sentinel
Stephen w. Morgan, secretary of the In
dianapolis rolling mill company, and brother
in-law to the late Thomas A. Hendricks,
brought suit yesterday morning in the superior
court for a divorce from his wife, Mary ].
Morgan, 20 whom he was married in 1855. The
complaint says: THAT they lived together
until April, 1855, at which time defendant,
negleeting her marital obligations TO plaintiff,
became uncomfortable by plaintiff and avowed
that she had no love or affection for plaintiff,
and has ever since failed 10 live with plaintiff
as husband and wife and has often declared
her intention of never again living with the
plaintiff, and since said separation defendant
has been spending her time going from place
TO place visiting friends and acquaintances,
neglecting and refusing TO keep plaintiffs house
or allowing him the pleasure OF her society,
though often requested TO do so; that plaintiff
has In divers ways attempted 10 regain the love
and affection OF the defendant but has wholly
failed; that he has always furnished plaintiff
ample support and maintenance suitable for
her condition in life and since the separation
has supported and maintained her; that he is
now convinced from the acts and declarations
OF the defendant that she is determined never
10 again live with plaintiff as husband and wife;
that they have three SONS. all of whom are OF
age, and wherefore he asks that the marital
bonds heretofore existing be dissolved and for
ever held as naught."
Mr.. Morgan is about sixty years Of age and is
a wealthy and well known citizen. He has
lived here for over thirty years, the late Vice
President Hendricks marrying his sister Eliza
J. Morgan. Mrs. Morgan has been quite prom
inent in society life in tins city and
several years ago was associated with Mrs.
Leon Bailey In the conduct of the Inland
Monthly, magazine OF merit. The three sons
mentioned in the complaint are all excellent
young men, one being a practicing physician
in Warsaw; another, Thomas H., occupying a
lucrative federal position in Washington, and
the youngest, William V, being superintend-
ent of the registry department in the postoffice
here.
From the statements of the parties concerned,
the divorce suit is the outcome of an in
compatibility of long standing, and that an
amicable agreement to disagree has been ar
rived at This is shown by the fact that Mrs.
Morgan waived all service OF papers.

Tho Jury in the West Virginia Election
Cases Refuses TO Convict.
WHEELING, w. Va, March 2l.-There was
rather a remarkable occurrence in the q. S.
court to-day, which shows the futility Of any
further attempt by the government to secure
convictions in election cases. at least with the
present panel. William Meyers alleged to be
a minor, was on trial, and at $50 the jury came
into court and said there was no possible
chance of an agreement being reached. The
court said it would send them back, when
Foreman O'Brien said some of the jury were
willing TO convict if they could be assured in
advance what the punishment would be. The
court sharply reproved the jury for this at
tempt to compromise the case. Whereupon
the jury retired, and in five minutes returned
verdict of not guilty. The sensation was tre-
mendous and the verdict is the talk OF the city
tonight 1t is not impossible that no more
cases will be tried BY the district attorney, al
though seventy indictments are in his hands

and began to pile the jewelry into satcnels, she

hberately shot down. The funeral win take

by the Coroner's jury Saturday.
The man Clark denies any knowledge OF the
shooting and says his own friends can prove an
alibi. Coroner Mcdowell was busy all night
and day sending messages to different points
and the vicinity is so full of detectives it seems
impossible for the men to get away.
Chief Of Police Donovan, of Braddock. and q
posse Of men, had lively chase after two men
last night, who were supposed to be the
murderers of Mrs. Rudert. The men were as
covered walking eastward on the railroad tracks
and the officers gave chase. When the men
found they were being followed, they drew
their revolvers and began shooting.
The officers returned the shots and lively
skirmish followed for a few minutes. 1t was

To the Ediror Of The pispatch:

DEAR SIR-I wish to call your attention,
also the public's, to the following matter Of
vital interest to this community. At each
new achievement of success the world
doubts and questions until overwhelming
evidence compels it to believe. The med
ical fraternity in this city during the past
few weeks have been thrown into no little
excitement over a claim set forth by DR..
Sturgeon that it is in his power to check the
progress of aud cure that dreaded disease, ty-
phoid fever, feat heretofore unheard Of in
the history of medical science. A son of
Mr.. j. M. Force, of No. 1856 jackson street,
Allegheny, was violently taken with the
disease. DR.. H was called in to see
the boy and pronounced the case typhoid
fever; he attended the patient about two
days, with no improvement on the part OF
the sufferer. Mr.. Force had in some way
heard of the successful cures effected by DR..
Sturgeon and summoned him. The doctor
diagnosed the case as DR.. H had
done. Both of them pronounced it typhoid
fever. DR.. Sturgeon said he could cure the
boy in five days, and inside of go hours the
fever had subsidized. In an incredible short
time young Force was restored to health.
The writer called on DR.. H this
morning, and, in conversation, the doctor
stated that he would give s., 900 in cash for
copy of the formula, proving conclusively
his appreciation Of the wonderful discovery.
