The preliminary examination of Roy Ellis
worth in Justice Thompson's court was
continued Tuesday afternoon by the defend
ant being placed upon the stand. He testf-
fed that he was sent for by Mr.. Curtin,
and went to the latter's room in the Napa
Hotel, and that he finally made his state
ment only after he had been promised that
no hahn should come 10 him, and that il he
stated all he knew he would be cleared.
MIR. Sewel was called for rebuttal and
testified that Mr.. Curtin to the best OF his
recollection did not offer any inducement to
Ellsworth to make the statement which was
made in the room at the Napa Hotel.
The Justice took the matter under advise
ment,
next begun, and after several witnesses
we're examined was continued until to-day.
when the testimony was closed and the case
submitted.
District Attorney Barstow this morning
moved that the CHARGES of arson against
James Flamant, Lee Horrell and Joe Rust,
growing out OF the fire of the building known
as the Baddeley house, be dismissed. 1t
was ordered by Justice Thompson that the
charges be dismissed, the defendants be
discharged and the bonds men be exOnerated.
. Mr.. Barstow stated. in making the mo-
of justice would be subseryed considering
that the defendants have already beea held
to answer before the Superior Court on
similar charges, and that if they are con-
vieted in the former instances they
will be sufficiently punished, while,
If they are not convicted on the
charges that they have already
been held to answer for, they cannot be on
this case. Taking into. consideration this
point. the great expense the county would
save and also looking little to the future Of
the boys themselves, he had decided to
make the motion.
Justice Thompson this afternoon held
Flamant and Blanchard to answer for the
school-house fire and discharged Ellsworth.

CINCINNATI. Nov. 26.-Messrs. O'Brien
and Sullivan of the Irish Nationalist party,
being asked if they had anything to say con-
ccernlng the letter of Gladstone, replied that
1t was matter engaging their anxious con-
sideration, but, Dillon not being here, no
conference could be had at present.
GLADsToNE's RETIREMENT.
NEW YORK, Nov. 26.-The Suns London
special says: Gladstune's retirement from
political life, which can only be avoided by
ParnelPs resignation, means not a mo-
mentary disaster but temporary ruin 10
the cause of home rule. Gladstone
up to Monday had been given to understand
that Parnell would retire for a season.
When it became known that the Irish leader
had no such intention the letter to Morley
was written and confdentially communi-
Gated to Parnell. 1t was not made public
until Parnell had publicly rejected the
solemn advice which it conveyed.
Trusted leaders, such as Justin Mccarthy,
Thomas Sexton, Michael Davitt and
Arthur O'COnnor, have urged Parnell
to bow his head to the storm, lest
it may infiict serious injury upon the
cause, and thereby cause the Irish Parlia-
mentary party to split into factions with
similar demoralizng effect in Ireland.
The adjournment of tO-day's meeting was
designed in order to obtain full possession
of the views of the Irish members now in
America. 1t is not an eXaggeration to say
that the immediate future of home rule de-
pends upon William O'Brlen and John
Dillon.

Powderly Dssirous of Joining Issues With the
Farmers Alliances
New YORK, Nov. 26.-The Sun says word
has been received in this city that Master
Workman Powderly and committee Of
Knights of Labor would be at Ocala. Fla,
next Tuesday at the convention of the
Farmers Alliance. 1t has been under
stood since election day that Powderiy and
his chief men of the Knights Of Labor
would make every effort TO obtain recogni-
tion at the convention. They have now
definitely determined to present themselves
and ask TO be permitted TO join issues with
the Alliance. Powderly and his assistant
leaders think the best thing the Knights
can do is to join hands with the Alliance on
all questions and propositions advanced by
it. There is decided objection on the part
Of the Alliance to Powderly's securing re-
cruitS for his organization from among
farm-hands There would be danger that
these farni-hands would organize divisions
of their own among the Knights, and un-
der the inspiration of Powderly insist on
higher wages and shorter hours. The own
ers of farms do not propose to have any
strikes among their hands, particularly at
harvest times. With these facts in view, it
is believed that the Alliance Will turn a
cold shoulder TO Powderly.
PITTsBURG, Nov. ga sensation was
