A Startling Proposition.

from the Boston Advertiser
The statement that married women In Iowa
have all the legal rights that are possessed by
their husbands brings up scene that oc-
CURED in the committee ON judiciary while the
legislature was in session. Before the commit
tee there appeared one day a lady, young and
not unprepossessing, to argue in behalf of a
bill which proposed to grant more common law
freedom to wives in making agreements and
civil contracts. In the discussion which fol-
lowed the argument the fair disputant put forth
the proposition that if.a husband were incapac-
itated from working the wife should be legally
responsible for his maintenance. This cold
FLOODED assertion fell on the committee like Q
bom6shen. A reporter who was present nearly
swallowed his pencil Mr.. Mccall, at the head
OF the table, stared, and with difficulty sup
pressed whistle, Dewey of Boston pushed back
ms chair and looked longingly toward the door,
while the gallant Wardwell Of Haverhill shook
his head doubtfully, and walked over to the
window, where he whispered to himself In an
expressive manner that no pen can describe:
"Well-well-wellr' The committee adjourned
with alacrity.

Assaulted Her Nurse Girl.

At Atlantic City, N. j., Mrs. Victoria Hamil-
ton, wife Of R. H. Hamilton, who is said to be
a grandson of Alexander Hamilton and SON of
Gen. Schuyler Hamilton of New York, was ar
rested yesterday for a murderous assault on
her nurse girl, Mary O'Donnell. She seriously
cut the girl with Mexican dagger. The latter
is lying at the point of death, while Mrs Ham,
ilton is held without bail to await her injuries.
What led to the ARRAY is not yet known. Mr..
Hamilton is detained as a witness. The
wounded woman was intoxicated She raved
violently and accused Mrs. Hamilton Of having
been disreputable woman. Mr. Hamilton 8
clothing was cut and torn and the defense will
probably be that he was attacked by the
woman before Mrs. Hamilton attacked her.

Mrs. Harrison at that place. There is . little
store at Nantucket where they sell odd baskets

who are after his position. He admits defeat

THE GREAT LONDON STRIKE.
Shipping Business Completely Para
lyzed.-A Vain Attempt at Arbitration.

The strike which was begun by the London
dock laborers and which subsequently spread
to the carmen, has now extended to the Thames
iron workers, and the gas stokers threaten to
join forces with the strikers. There is also
talk Of compelling laborers in all the trades
to quit work and force matters to an issue at
once. The iron workers strike adds 1000 to
the number of the unemployed. The men are
- yet quite orderly. The shipping business is
completely paralyzed and mail steamers are
leaving without cargoes.
The tin platers at Bermondsey, . suburb Of
London, have joined the strikers. In Rother-
hithe, the shipbuilding district Of London, pro-
cessions of strikers are marching Continually,
but up TO the present time the men seem to be
pesceably disposed
Many ship-owners have begun suits against
the Commercial dock company, claiming dam
ages for detention Of their vessels: The COM
pany, however. claim that the act of parliament
granting them a charter precludes the enforce
ment OF any claims for damages owing to
strikes.
The strikes is gaining new adherents hourly.
Eight thousand sailors and fremen and $500
dock men at Isle Of Dogs, where several large
docks are located, have gone out. The author
tiles have become apprehensive Of trouble and
are holding the military in readiness to sup
press an outbreak should it occur.
The coal porters at Kings Cross have also
joined in the strike. A conference took place
yesterday between the dock managers and dele
gates from the striking laborers, but it was
without result.
In consequence Of the strike thousands of
tons of mutton are rotting, it being impossible
to find men to handle the stock
The committee of the strikers declines to
allow even perishable articles to be unloaded.
Coal is at double the usual price. All produce
is advancing. The biscuit factories are stop
ping for want of -four

He is the subject Of several harrassing delu-
