China report the execution Of the sentences
on the villagers near Shanghai, China, who
were concerned IN the murder Of fourteen
salt inspectors. Last March these salt in
spectors made a raid on a village. They
wore no uniforms, and the villagers mis-
took them for pirates aud attacked and
overpowered them. When the villagers
discovered that they had attacked govern
ment officers they became frightened at
the severe punishment they would receive
for il and decided to kill the inspectors
The men were carried TO their boats, and
despite their entrealies were burned to-
gether with their craft. The chief criminal
suicided before the day Of his execution
arrived Four others were strangled and
four exiled with heavy fines.

NEW York, Dec 22.-Signor Succi ended
his forty-tive days fast at $40 o'clock
Saturday night. He first drank a cup Of
cocoa, and then after resting on his cot
took some beef extract. Later he ate a
little Clipped beef About 15O people were
present. George Francis Train got over
the railing into th4enclosure reserved for
Suoci and his watchers and captured the
whole show. lie talked to the audience
for half an hour
Succi's skin was tightly drawn and his
eyelids dropped heavily. His body was
shrunken and his walk was a totter. His
nervous force enabled him TO rally, and
for few minutes he appeared stronger
than at any time in the day. His watchers
thought at one time in the afternoon that
he was going 70 collapse.
He was so weak that he could not move
his pillow, and his mind seemed to lie
wandering. Toward evening he braced
up little, and when he stood up at $40
O'Clock to drink his cup Of cocoa with
George Francis Train at his side, he said
he had tasted solely in the interest OF
science, He drank the first cup Of cocoa

Small Probability OF "A Quorum In Either
House This Week.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 22-With the ap.
proaeh Of the holiday season, senators and
representatives are beginning to leave
Washington to spend Christmas at their
homes, or to visit neighboring towns, and
as consequences there will be many
empty seats in both branches of congress.
II Is hardly probable that there will be
quorum in either house during the week,
and as a matter OF necessity the pro-
gramme will be simplifed. The last sen
ator on Vice President Mortonis list of
speakers on the elections bill will probably
have finished his address by Wednesday,
and on that day the senate will In all
probability take a recess over Christmas
until the Monday following. No other
business except the elections bill will be
before the senate Mr.. Aldrich may pos
sibly report the cloture rule from the com
mittee on rules, but this is not thought
probable.
The absence Of a quorum in the house
will prevent action on any measure. Mr.,
Mills resolution providing for recess
from Dec 22 until after New Years has
been considered by the ways and means
committee and action on it deferred until
this afternoon. The consent OF the senate
will be necessary in order to make the
resolution effective The probability is
that the house will adjourn today after
matters relating 70 the District Of Colum-
bia have been discussed until the day
before or the day after Christmas, when
another adjournment will be taken until
the following Monday.

PARIS, Dec. 22.-The trial Of Michael
Eyraud and Gabrielle Bompard for the
murder Of Notary Gouffe was closed Satur-
day. The proceedings were opened by the
public prosecutor who summed up the
case on behalf Of the government lie be-
gan by promising to conine himself to the
murder and robbery of M. GOuffe He
begged the jury to follow him closely and
to dismiss from their minds all the evi-
dence that had been presented regarding
hypnotism. He said he would make every
effort to uphold justice against theories
which, lie declared, constituted a menace
to society.
Regarding Mile Bompard, the public
prosecutor said that the woman's intellect
was not weak, but it was depraved Both
prisoners were equally guilty lie de-
manded that the extreme sentence Of the
law be imposed upon Eyraud. He did not
ask for indulgence in the case Of Mile.
Bompard, but the jury must consider her
age, her defective education, aud her con
dtion Of life and decide whether there
were extenuating circumstances in the
part she had taken in the crime.
Both Prisoners Pronounced entity.
N. Decori spoke in behalf Of Eyraud and
NJ Robert for Gabrielle. The prisoners
lawyers each claimed chat his client had
been enticed into the crime. At the con
clusion Of the couusels' addresses the Jury
retired to consider their verdict. After an
absence Of an hour and fifty minutes they
returned and announced the result OF
their deliberations. The verdict was that
both prisoners were guilty, but extenuat-
ing circumstances were found in the case
of the woman.
After a short deliberation on the part Of
the judges sentence was pronounced The
court condemned Eyraud to die by the
guillotine, and sentenced Gabrielle Bom-
pard to twenty years Imprisonment at
hard labor
The woman, upon hearing her sentence
appeared to be utterly overcome, and fell

pressed the hope to his keepers that re

LONDON, Dec. 22-Timothy Harrington
hastened on his arrival at Queenstown to
communicate with Mr.. Parnell, aud the
latter is said to be much encouraged by
the information which Mr.. Harrington has
brought from America. All day yesterday
the two parties were busy eleotioneerng
The priests, both those OF the Ossory
diocese and others from various parts OF
Ireland, spent the time outside Of religious
people and urging the election Of Sir John
Pope Hennessy. Allusions more or less
direct, were made from tho pulpits to the
pending contest. Mr.. Parnell expressed
himself last night as confident Of victory.
Much apprehension is felt Of the effect
that defeat might have upon his followers.
Mr.. Parnelrs Moderate Language.
Mr. Parnell was in much better form
than on the previous day, and evidently
Of the campaign by any abusive language.
He addressed the people on their leaving
church, and made use Of language more
persuasive and dignified than at any pre-
vious gathering during the struggle. He
reminded them Of his many years service,
and appealed to their sense Of gratitude
not to set the seal Of condemnation on his
life long work for ireland. The people
listened patiently, though the priests pro
, tested against Mr. Parnell turning Sunday
into a day of political strife and argument,
and urged their focks to 90 home. There
was very little demonstration, and all
seemed desirous Of putting on their best
behavior At Clare, whittier Mr. Parnell
and his adherents went after the Kilkenny
meeting. an attempt was made by priest
to prevent a meeting A wordy war en-
sued, and the priest. fearing a riot, with

Unfavorabie to Parnen.
The very absence of rows is, however,
considered unfavorable to parneIl, as
showing that the McCarthyites are gaining
sufficient hold to be able to restore discip-
line, and indications at this moment
point to Hennessy's election The most
intense interest is felt in London as to the
result. The Liberals believe from the dis
patches received, Of which the foregoing
is a resume, that the priests have done for
Parnell, and that lie stands no chance
On the other hand, betting men who cal
culate to win are willing to back Parnell
at much lower odds than a week ago. but
are not ready to bet even This is an ex-
citing day both in London and Kilkenny.
While the official result will not be known
until tomorrow it is thought that to night
fair idea Of the result can be obtained.

Bles, His Dear Heart.

Into a very elegant palace car entered a
weary-faced, poorly dressed woman, with
three children, one baby in her arms. A
look Of Joy crept into her face as she sat
down in one of the luxurious chairs, but it
was quickly dispelled as she was asked
rudely to start her boots" A smile of
amusement was seen on several faces as the
frightened group hurried out to one of the
common cars. Upon young face. how
ever, there was a look which shamed the
countenances of the others.
ssAuntie,' said the boy to the lady beside
him, Il am going to carry my basket OF
fruit and this box of sandwiches to the
poor woman in the next car. You are
willing, of course"
Don't be foolish, dear; you may need
them yourself, and perhaps this woman is
an imposter.
'.No, FL not need Them" he answered
decidedly, but in very low tone. you
know | had hearty breakfast, and don't
need lunch. The woman looked hungry
and so tired, too, with three little babies
clinging to her. Ell be back in a minute,
auntie. l know mother wouldn't like if
/ didn't speak kind word to the least Of
these when I meet them"
The worldly aunt brushed a tear from
her eye after the boy left her, and said
audibly:
"Just like his dear mother"
About FIVE minutes later, as the lady
passed the mother and three children, she
saw pretty sight; the family feasting as
perhaps they had never done before. The
