Afternoon Session.

The House re-assembled at l 80
o'clock.
Minister Ashford, continuing, said
V. V. Ashford gave information to the
Cabinet on one occasion when all the
Cabinet were present. He told US that
trouble was brewing, that the Govern
ment must be on the watch, that r. w.
Wilcox was implicated and that the
Rifles were not properly equipped
The Minister Of Foreign Affairs never
theless, took no steps. Then on the
morning of July Both, there was very
little ammunition available. What there
was consisted chiefly of reloaded cart
ridges which generally would not fit the
guns, and an attempt to fire would be
dangerous. The result was that there
was almost panic on that morning and
it was owing to the persistent neglect OF
the Minister of Foreign Affairs. He dis
missed the Colonel's complaints with re-
marks like this: "You know nothing
about it. You don't know anything
about kanakas. They won't do anything.
They are afraid"
If We had not been able to borrow
10000 rounds off the Adams the insur-
rection would have been a success The
ammunition ran so low that we only fired
an occasional shot to prevent their COM
ing out into the yard and to make them
think We were not out o. ammunition
Ii they had made determined sortie, it
would probably have been successful.
1t is well known that martial law was
not declared and the Government was
criticized for it. The next day a meet
ing was held with officers OF the Rifles
I'D 70, hn
whether martial law should be declared
or not. All the officers were opposed
then to declaring martial law and severe
ly criticized the Government for the
state OF unpreparedness in which it had
been surprised. During the remarks OF
Col. Ashford he stated to the Minister
of the Interior that he had particularly
invited that instruction by failing to
prosecute the conspirators before. That
was a bone OF contention between them
and another reason why Mr.. Thurston is
so conspicuously impartial when he dis
cusses the merits and dement's of the
Colonel. 1t is only fair to exempt the
Minister OF Finance from the blame at
taching to the other Ministers. He was
then new to the office and think it only
just to exempt him to that extent, but to
that extent only. He went to Colonel
Ashford and told him that if the facts
run as he represented them, the Cabinet
were much to blame. | did not hear
that conversation and do not pledge my
reputation for veracity upon 1t.
l desire to call the attention OF the
House that the Minister of the Interior
has based his charges against me upon
his charges against my brother. l have,
therefore, dwelt particularly upon them,
because ii they fail, the charges against
me must fail with them.

and branch house on Twentieth street, are
constantly swarmed with admirers of the

his painters have all they can do In the
line of exterior house adornment. The
heaping business Mr.. Sutclffe is doing

done. So far as known no one in partic.
ular is as yet suspected of the terrible
crime.

M. Beardsley, and fireman on the c., B.
& Q. switch engine 1854. of which L. v.
Adams is engineer, met with painful
accident and a narrow escape at o'clock
last evening. The engine had returned
from Moline and just south of the Bur-
lington depot building Fireman Boards
ley jumped from the cab to turn switch
in order that the engine might be run into
the round house. Having turned the
switch he attempted to mount the step
on the tender of the engine as it backed
up. but his left foot caught in the frog
and was held firmly, and before he could
give the alarm to the engineer the engine
had struck it and snapped both bones
above the ankle. The shoe was pulled
from the foot in the exertion to extricate
the member from its perilous position and
remained fast in the frog. Engineer
Adams stopped the engine in time to
avert further disaster and the unfortunate
fireman was soon conveyed TO his home
on Twenty second street, where Drs
Truesdale and Plummer reduced the frac
ture. 1t was marvellous escape from
something more serious. as had the engine
been moving faster than it was the young
fireman would beyond question have met
a fate too horrible to contemplate.
MIR. Beardsley is an industrious and
sober young man and his misfortune is
deeply regretted by all who know him.

How the Grim Reaper Was Welcomed by
Down-East spinster.
Some years ago Amelia Simpson, a
maiden lady of mature years, moved
into New England village to take pos
session of small property-that had
been left her by deceased uncle.
Miss Simpson WAS city spinster and
IL happened that while moving into her
new homo she made some decisive re-
marks about tho village, which remarks
reached the ears OF the villagers
IL was before tho days OF boycotting
but the spirit OF that method existed,
and so unanimous were tho feelings ex-
cited against the newcomer that not q
soul in tho village called upon her.
Tho lady herself was unconscious that
she had offended and made several ad-
vances in the direction of forming an
acquaintance with her neighbors, but
was met with cool non-recognition every
time.
Then she withdrew herself from any
communication with tho people. bought
all supplies from ncighboring town,
and lived alone with u female servant
for u score OF years. At the end of that
timo she was taken very i'll. A doctor
was summoned from distance by her
faithful attendant and ho soon knew
that all remedies werc useless, and it
only remained for him TO toll poor Miss
Simpson that her earthly pilgrimage
was nearly over. This he did in his own
way, lIo was doctor of the old school
and he approached the subject cour-
teously. l4 .

ate voice, II have done all that possi-

be no cake to go with it.
"Why, Parthenia," hermistress would
exclaim, why did you not make cake,
as / told you? You know we always
want cake with ice-cream, and told
you specially this morning to make it. u
Il s'posed you always wanted to make
It," was all the satisfaction given, and
then the diabolical creature went to tho
kitchen and was found there ten min
utes later, her head buried in sheet
and her long, slim body shaking with
silent laughter.
At last her mistress lost all patience
and made some vigorous remarks which
Parthenia overheard. The latter nursed
her feelings in silence for long time.
She took an evening paper and read 1t
assiduously at nightuntil she fell asleep,
the gas burning full streak all the time.
On her afternoon of as soon as the din
nor dishes were washed, she would
mount to her room and go to sleep. BY
these presents you may know her.
Still she nursed her resentment in
silence until it was almost timc to break
up for the summer. Then one day. when
1t was so late that decent girl could bo
got with the greatest difficulty, she sud
denly told her mistress that she was GO
ing to leave the very next day.
When asked for reason: "You don't
like me-" she said. Her mistress tried
to assure her that she fairly dotted on
her, but it was no go.
"You don't love me; you only like
what you get out of me-"
81 like you well enough to want you
to stay" said the other.
"Yes," she replied, "just because you
don't want the trouble of hunting up an-i
other girl"
And so this jewel, with the great big
flaws, won't her way and left house in

you will be happy with her.
