jury Convicts Mrs. vandegrift OF That
Crime.
Carrie Vandegrift, of Burlington, N T.,
has just been convicted of attempting to
murder her son, Frank Norman, and the
circumstances are so peculiar that there is a
widespread discussion as to the righteous
ness of the jury's verdict. Frank was her
son by her first marriage a young man
some 20 years old; his sickness was of a
nature to indicate some acrid poison; his
mother bought croton oil several times
during his illness, and the physician in at
tendance testified that croton oil would
produce the symptoms noticed in Frank.
On the other hand it was proved that she
used croton oil for corns, with which she
was badly troubled, and Frank, testifying
in behalf of his mother, admitted that his
habits were such as to produce the symp-
toms shown and that he had been very

WESTERN FREIGHT MEN.
Meeting of the Association and Probable
Reduction of Rates.

Reduction OF Rates.
CHICAGO, Feb. 12.-At q meeting Of
the southwestern division of the West
ern Freight Association yesterday after
noon Chairman Midgley reported that
he had investigated charges of manip-
ulation by some of the roads at South
western Missouri river points. The only
roads concerned were the Chicago,
Milwaukee & st. Paul and the Missouri
Pacific.
The representative of the Milwaukee
& St Paul at once proposed a reduction
in freight rates from Chicago to Kansas
City to the basis of so cents irst-class,
the present basis being IS cents, the sb-
lect of this being to stop the irregulari-
ties complained of, but Chairman
Midgely ruled that the proposition could
not be considered, as the agreement
provided that five days notice must be
given in advance of regular meeting
of any intended change in rates.
The Missouri Pacific appealed the
matter to the board of managers of the
Interstate Commerce Railway Associa-
ton which will meet to-day.
The presidents of the lines in the
Interstate Railway Association (the
gentlemen's agreement at a meeting
here yesterday unanimously accepted

AT meeting Of the Western Freight
Bureau yesterday the. Burlington &
Northern railroad asked permission to
make reduction of SS7S per cent. in
the rates on freight between Chicago

jected, and the general manager of the
road at once gave notice that he would
make the proposed reduction at the end
of ten days under the terms of the agree
ment between the lines in interest.

PARNsLL ExohERAIEp.
The ParneI Commission Makes It's Rerort
What the ConnInainna Ar

heE0EU-
What the Conclusions Are.
LONDON, Feb. 1.-THE report Of the
Parneh Commission, laid before Parlia-
ment yesterday, is long and tedious
document, taking up the case Of each
Irish member of Parliament against
whom charges were brought and enter
ing minutely into the details of the tes-
timony. The upshot Of the report, or
what may be termed Judgment of the
court, is as follows:
1t is proved that Messrs. Davitt,
Harris, Dillon, w. E. O'Brien, w. Red
mond, O'Connor, Condor and O'Kelly
conspired to bring about the absolute
separation of Ireland from Great Britain;
the fac smile Parnell letter was for
gerry; the defendants were sincere in
denouncing the Phoenix park murders;
the defendants did incite intimida-
ton and invited the assistance OF
Ford. Mr.. Parnell is exonerated
from the charge of assisting Byrne TO
escape. 1t is not true that Mr.. Parneu
was intimate with leading InvincibleS-
Mr.. Davitt was closely associated with
the party of violence in America The
ceport is more moderate and impartial
than was expected and consequently
gives satisfaction to nobody except the
Judges, who are relieved to get it OF
their hands.
The report further says: ''It is not
proved that the defendants subscribed
toward the assistance of or intimately
associated with notorious criminals or
paid money to procure their escape from
Justice. 1t is not proved that the de-
tendants were aware that the Clan-na-
Gael controlled the American League or
collected money for the Parliamentary
fund. 1t is not proved that at the
time of the Kilmainham negotiations
Mr.. Parnel was aware that Sheridan
apd Boynton were organizing their OUT
RACES The Invincibles were not a
branch of the Land League. The
League neither organized nor paid Invin-
cibles. None of the defendants directly
or indirectly had knowledge Of the
Phoenix Park conspiracy. PiggOtt was
utterly unworthy of credit. All letters
he produced as eliminating were for
geries."
On the other hand the judges say the
league never gave the authorities any
assistance in detecting crime. There
are no details of the expenditure Of
e1OO,0 900 of the league funds. There is
no valid excuse for the nOn-production
of it's books. The Commission has not
received from Mr. Parnell or the league
the assistance it expected The report
is signed by all iudpes.

SIBERIAN HORRORS.
A Letter in Cipher Showing an Awful State
of Affairs.

"A Letter IN CIpner showing an AWFUL STATE
of Affairs.
PARIS, Feb. 12.-Russian refugees in
the city have received a cipher letter
dated Kara, Eastern Siberia, December
%, stating that Nine. Sidiha, lady of
noble birth and lately school teacher
in Moscow, who was serving a penal
sentence for being found in the posses
sion of revolutionary documents, had
committed suicide. She was a very
beautiful woman and had resented in
suits offered her by the director of
the prison and in consequence
was stripped and flogged in the pres
ence of all the men in the prison. Fear
ing renewal of her humiliation and
suffering she committed suicide by TAX
ing poison. The letter says several
other female prisoners, apprehending
similar treatment, killed themselves.
On hearing of these occurrences the
male convicts at Kara revolted en- masse
and the troops being called out to sub
due them a fearful massacre and whole
sale torturing and fogging ensued-
