STOLE A WOMAN'S HAND.
The Queer Case That Maine Judge
VIII uaxe To- Deciae.

Will Have to Decide.
A curious case is shortly TO come be-
fore the court At Portland, Me-, being
the trial OF man for the theft of the
hand of woman who had been dead
twenty years. The story in connection
Is a most remarkable one. In 1870
Ronald Seaforth, an Englishman en-
gagged in the lumber business. lost his
mother, Mrs. Annie Seaforth. This lady
on her dcath-bed made her son promise
10 lay her remains beside those OF her
hus oand, who Is buried in England,
near Hull. For various reasons Mr. Sea-
forth has never been able to keep this
promise until the last spring, when,
early in May, he had the body exhumei.
proposing to take it to England.
1t was noticed that the coffin was ex-
traordinsrily heavy, and to ascertain
the cause it was opened, when il was
found that the body had completely
turned to stone. Mrs. Seaforth, whose
death took place when she was barely
forty. was a rarely beautiful woman.
with hands particularly symmetrical
and small, and IL is said that her petri-
fed form seemed an exquisite statue
carved In gray marble. Pending his sail
ing with it, the body was left by Mr.
Seafarth in the charge OF Lawson, an
undertaken. When Mr.. Seaforth called
for the remains he found that the right
hand had been broken of at the wrist
and was gone.
He accused Lawson OF the theft, and.
procuring search warrant, found the
hand in the latter's private desk The
case has attracted a great deal OF at
tention, as it is thought by lawyers to
be unique. Lawson will plead guilty 70

EXTRA SESSION OF CONGRESS
Harrison May Call One to Consider
the Force Bill.

New YORK, Oct. 9.-The Mail and
Express has the following Washington
special: 1t is stated, On what should
be good authority, that President
Harrison Will call an extra session of
congress on Nov. IL to consider
and pass the federal election law. The
same authority tells me that, before he
left the city, Senator Aldrich had an in
terview with the president, and during
that call President Harrison told
the senator that he wanted
the bill passed. and before the second
session began, and it was understood
that the extra session would be called.
There will be no trouble in passing the
bill in the senate. although the Demo-
Gratis will endeavor to talk it to
death; but should the extra session be
called it will not last long, and the fed
eral election bill will be law before
it adjourns. The news of an
extra session is so surprising at
this time that it seems hardly
probable, yet inquiry at the
senate side of the capitol showed that it
IS almost an adcepted fact there, and
that preparations are being made
for the conveaing of the senate early
after the November elections. Sew
eral Of the senator's clerks and
large namber of the senate employees
are here working with the idea of an
extra session, but still there are many
who will not believe the news. although
the authority for it is so good.

Balfour's Blue-Coated Min
ions at Tipperary Pattern
After Mexican Thugs.

LONDON, Oct. 9.-The trouble in the
London stock market, which has at
length eliminated in panic. is owing
chiefly to the scarcity of money. The
market has borrowed more than the
amount coming to it from quarterly div
ldends, and the Bank of En-
gland has added to the scar
city by its recent policy of high rates
on loans. Certain securities also, IN
which British investors showed a good
deal of faith, have shriveled very
much of late, notably South African
mining shares. and this has brought
about hesitation to invest in other
stocks, even those that are uot in any
sense of doubtful or inflated character.
1t was expected that October dividends
would relieve the market, but that hope
has not been realized, owing to
the fact that the dividends were
mortgaged in advance. American
shares partook of the general decline,
but not to as great an extent as colo
nial securities. 1t is believed that the
stringency will soon be over. and that
more liberal policy on the part of the
Bank of England will come to the rescue
of the borrowers.

Irishmen Prefer Charges Against
Balfour's Minions.

BalfOur'S MiniOnS.
DUBLIN, Oct. 9.-The hearing on the
summons against the police for assaults
committed by them upon a number of
persons at the court house in Tipperary
on the occasion of the opening of the
trial of Messrs. Dillon and O'Brien
commenced at that place to-day. Tim
othy Healey opened the case for Mr..
Harrison, member of the house
of commons for the middle di-
vision of Tipperary, who was quite
severely injured by the police.
Mr.. Healy declared that. on the occa-
sion in question. for every adult in the
crowd outside of the court house gates
there were four armed policemen. Mr..
Harrison, he said, upon seeing
went to the rescue. when four or five
constables seized him, while blow was
dealt him from behind which crushed
in his head as if it were
an eggshell. Upon the conclusion
of Mr.. Healy's remarks, Mr.. Harri-
son took the stand. He testified that
there were fewer than fifty civilians
outside of the court house when
he arrived, while there was a
large force of policemen on each
side of the gates. The police

and as Mr.. O'Brien appeared to be in
great danger witness went out into the
road to see if anything could be done
to check the violence of the police.
Col. Caddell, who was in command
addressed the police, saying something
| to the effect that they must go in out of
that and not make disturbance. This
command not being obeyed, the wit
ness asked the policemen why they
disobeyed their officers orders.
Upon this constable aimed a blow
with baton at the witness. who stepped
back and parried it, whereupon an
other constable seized him by the
throat. Witness pushed the constable's
hand away, and, seeing another
policeman about to strike some one in
! the crowd, witness caught and held his
wrist. preventing the blow from falling.
| At this juncture an officer came up
! and said that if the witness would
let the man go he (the officer(
would take the policeman out of the
row and prevent him from creating
further disorder. Witness saw the po-
lice strike another man, and was him
| self hustled in all directions,
besides being struck with a ba-
| ton from behind. He finally
shook the officer off and made his way
into the court room. During the dis
turbance he saw constable strike and

fell MIR. Sheehy. The civilians
threw no stones and struck no
blows, except in parrying blows
from the policemen's batons.
While Patrick O'Brien, M. P, was
testifying, Mr.. Healy questioned him in
regard to some photographs taken dur
ing the fracas. The presiding magis-
trate ruled this line of evidence out
as irrelevant. A heated discussion
eDsued, which ended in Mr.. Healy's tell
Mr.. O'Brien to leave the witness box.
Thereupon all the complainants and
their friends left the court room. Mr..
Healy had, at the opening of the case,
asked that ordinary justices should
replace the five resident magistrates
on the bench. The application was re-
fused. He now renewed it and moved
to adjourn on account of the constitu-
ton of the bench. This being also de-
MED. the summonses were Withdrawn,
thus ending the action.

The President of the Dockers'
Union Counsels Moderation.

LONDON. Oct. S.-President Thomas
Mann, of the lockers union, is doing
his utmost to bring the men to reason
and prevent them from pluhging head
long into life-and-death struggle with
the ship owners, This course on his
part is undoubtedly due to his per-
eeption that such a struggle at this
time would mean life to the ship own
ers' federation and death to the dockers'
union, for the federation is amply pre-
pared for contest. while the union is
in an undisciplined and half-bankrupt
condition. 1t was Mann who in
sisted upon an agreement be-
ing reached to handle the Allan and
Willson-Hill lines freight recently,
and he has threatened to dismiss to-
morrow any men who fail to carry out
the terms of the agreement. Much de-
pends, both in respect OF the unions
future and of the interest of London's
shipping trade, upon the action of the
men i'll response to Mann's urgings.

ATLANTA, Ca, Oct. 9.-The postal
authorities to-day received the weekly
edition of the Atlanta Constitution
which contained prize distribution
offer to its subscribers to be settled by
Christmas drawing. About 100000 pa
pers got out before the seizure was made
and the northern edition of $1,000 is de-
tanned. The paper offered to give bond
for any amount to cover any verdict
which might be rendered, but the pos
tai authorities were obdurate and re-
fused to let the papers go through
the mails. The Objectionable feature
consisted in the announcement that it
would distribute prizes in its Christmas
box, which feature. the Constitution like
many other papers has been running
in connection with the Weekly
Constitution for years. The postal au-
thOrities claim that this violates the
recently passed the anti-iottery law.
When the law was passed the COnsti-

ment in executing its provisions
and promptly stopped the publica-
tion of its regular lottery ad-

was intended to cover such features as

and the edition is now being reprinted.
Other publications with similar an
