PARNELL COMMISSION.

The Investigation Has Already lasted
Thirteen Months.
LONDON, Dec. 13.-The commissioners
appointed by the special commission
act, 1888, to inquire and report upon the
charges and allegations made against
certain members Of parliament in con-
nection with the great Times-Pa Parncll
suitassembled today and have entered
upon the preparation of their findings.
The proceedings began October 22, last
year, the investigation. which is one of
the most memorable in English judicial
annals, extending over period of thir-
teen months. The dramatic interest Of
the inquiry largely centered in the per-
sons of Major 'LeCaron' and Richard
Piggott. The former immortalizcd him
self as the embodiment of all tho craft,
alertness and dexterous shrcwdness so
sought for in a secret agent. The lat
ter, after unnumbered perjnries forced
from him in the course of q pitiless
cross-examination confessed the forgery
of the notorious letters and blew his
brains out in the Hotel des Ambassa-
deurs, in Madrid. The total number of
witnesses examined in the course of the
investigation was 500, and to them
9S,267 questions were put. The Official
report will fill 1906 pages and will be
the biggest account of judicial proceed
ings ever published by the stationery
office

Tale of u War Horse,

An officer Of experience, writing on
the behavior of horses in battle, SAYS:
When it comes to battle a horse seems
to know everything that is going on;
but he does his duty nobly, and seems
to be in his element. He enters into
the spirit of the battle like human
being. He shows no fear of death, and
it is singular that if his mate is shot
down he will turn to look at him and
seem pleased. A horse in my battery
was once struck by a piece of she'll.
which split his skull. so that one side
was loose. The driver turned him
loose, but he walked up by the side of
the gun and watched the firing, and
when shot was fired would look away
in the direction of the enemy, as if to
see the effect of the shot. When shell
would burst near by he would calmly
turn and look at it. When he saw his
own team going back for ammunition
he ran back to his own place and gal
lopcd back to the caisson with the
rest. When the Lieutenant pushed
him aside to put in another horse, he
looked at the other one sorrowfully
while he was being harnessed up, and
when he seemed to realize that there
was no further use for him be lay
down and died. The Lieutenant strong
ly asserted that he died of a brokep
heart.-COurt Journal.

Two Mur,lerers Captured.

ScRTBNER, Neb., Dec. 13.-The two
men who murdered Carl Pulsifer were
captured by the citizens CT this place
about IL o'clock yesterday morning.
They turned out to be two young men
from Scribner named Charles Shepherd
been until a few weeks ago working in
Spanglers blacksmith shop in Scribner,
and the latter worked for Joseph Shep-
herd in a livery barn. They were traced
about four miles noNth of Crowell
Wednesday and there the track was
lost. They came to this town yesterday
morning about 3 o'clock on two horses
they had stolen of a farmer named
Groves. and their evident intention was
to get another team in Scribner and
leave the country. The horses they
had stolen was q pair of poor
horses and they had no use for
them and wanted something faster.
Tho town being guarded all night
they were seen and left on foot in q
hurry, taking the brush along the Elk
horn river, where they were captured
without resistance. They were brought
into town very quietly and one lodged

house. Sheriff Mallon arrived from
Howells on the passenger train at 2:30
and took charge of the prisoners. The
crowd around town had swelled greatly
on hearing of the capture. 1t is csti-
mated there were 800 men, and nearly
all anxious to hang the prisoners. The
most prominent men in Scribner how
ever, prevented any lynching, holding
the crowd back by armed force. Sheriff
Mallon took the prisoners to Fremont on
the 2:lo passenger train. 1t took about
thirty armed deputies to keep the
crowd from getting hold of the two men.
Ropes were freely shown in the crowd.
1t is understood that they have con-
fessed to the murder and numerous
other crimes.

She Was Unusually Discreet

A little Maine girl recently visited
New York and went to the theatre two
or three times. On her return home
she was reluctant to go to church on
Sunday and made the remark that "she
liked those meetings best where the
curtain rose Her father who was a
leading church member, cautioned her
about making that remark when call
ers were present. Shortly after the
minister was shown in and the little
girl entertained him awhile alone.
When her father entered the room she
said: Papa, I've told the minister all
about my visit to New York, but | did
not say any thing about the meeting
where the curtain rose and ! amt
agoing to either" The little rogue
was just about as discreet as her pa
was when he told her to keen mum.

Just as he was about to pull the trigger
an enormous hawk dartcd down, cap

The rabbit squealed and struggled to
free itself while the hawk frightened its
claws and got good hold. When the
hawk had got about fifteen feet from
the ground with its prey Mr.. Cove
banged away at it. 1t dropped like a

bit was dead, too, although none of the
shot had hit it,

1t is dangerous to let man die in a
aotel in Paris. A queer French
Jaw enables the landlord to pre-
sent his bill to the relatives for the
death. Seven hundred francs was the
TEN recently demanded from an Amer
ican family for the deceasc of one of it's
members in a well known hotel. This
extortion would have been three times
as great if the person had died of a con-
;agious disease, and doubled if the de-
leased was a prince or member of any
'ich old aristocratic family. The allow
ances by the judges, however, are gen.
orally much less than the claims of tho

story: A few days ago a gentleman was
driving in the vicinity of Longs bridge.
He firmly held the lines over splendid
mare, while the mares colt contentedly
trotted along behind. When Buffalo
creek was reached, repairs being made
on the bridge, the gentleman found that
he would have to drive through the
channel, which was unusually deep.
almost swimming, and would swim the
colt The mare was driven in, and the
colt not desiring test of his swimming
qualities, reared up on his tender hind
legs, gently placed his fore ones on the
box of the vehicle back of the buggy
seat, and was safely drawn across the
muddy stream. When the4opposite
bank was reached he gracefully bounded
off with whinny of satisfaction.

The Crisis in M,nA,na.

HELENA, Mont, Dec. i4.-The dead
lock in the senate has reached the stage
where, under the law, something must
be done. Under the territorial law,
which is still in effect, members of either
branch of the legislature must take the
oath and enter upon their duties within
thirty days after the date set for the
meeting of the body of which they are
members, or their Office becomes vacant,
and the governor may order Il new cleo
ton. This thirty day limit has now cx-
pired. and the Offices of the Montana
democratic senators who have not vet
qualified. arc under the law vacant.
This afternoon conference was held
between the democratic and republican
senators. and tho former agreed
that on Monday morning they
would either go into the senate
or resign their offices. The latter will
probably be the course taken, as, if the
democrats go in with the republicans.
the latter can go into joint session with
the republican representatives. and elect
two United States senators. There ara
only one OF two democratic senators who
advocate the policy of qualifying, while
the five illegal members from Silver
Bow are allowed to sit in the republican
house and they viii undoubtedly be
guided by the majority. The sentiment
of the democratic party. senatorial can
didates and all, is against the demo-
cratic senators helping to organize the
senate until the republicans obey the
governors proclamation, meet in the
court house, and purge themselves OF
the Tunnel precinct members So
strong is this feeling that it seems
scarcely probable that any democratic
senator will dare disobey it, and thus
aid the republicans to consummate the
work inaugurated by the Silver Bow re,
turning board.

ness of the officers of that corporation
his heart was knocked from the left
side of his body to the right side, much
to his physical and mental discomfort.
He was employed as brakeman for the
company few months since, ana was

his heart afterward changed in sympathy

commissioner the legislature will pass
such bin as may be necessary to grant

as iron-clad as any ever adopted by a
state, passed the house by Il vote of
The bill is so amended that 1t will go

AS originally drafted. 1t will have to
to be the necessary two-thirds vote
IN its favor. The one vote against
the bill was cast by

discussion Of tte bill, when an effort
vas made to delay action, Mccullough,

republican measure, and warned the
republicans that the party would be
held responsible for its fate. The pro-
