CANADA'S ELECTION
Both Parties Working Hard to
Win To-Day's Battle.
TIL. LIB RAILS ARE HOPEFUL.
a Reduced Tory Majority Would be the
Doath-Knell for the Administration.

Politicians in ID State of Uncertainty.
OTTAWA, March 5.-Reports received
here from the principal towns in the Do
minion say that the election is passing
of quietly.
The polls in this city are we'll manned
by both sides. Each party loudly boasts
of an assured victory, but both are real
ly in state of uncertainty.
The Liberals expect not less than II
majority in to-day's elections, while the
Conservatives claim that they will have
81 majority. 4 Liberal majority Of II
would be loss of 80 seats to the govern
ment. This is the exact number that
they lost in 1874.
The feeling among the mass of the
people, as we'll as among the politicians.
is intense. Nobody of any sense on
either side believes that annexation cuts
a figure in the fight, but every sane man
believes that the industrial future of
Canada for many years will be deter =
mined by to-day's voting if the result
should be decisive. An indecisive vic
tory for either side would only prolong
the struggle.
A reduced Tory majority would really
be the death knell of the Macdonald ad-
ministration.
There is considerable excitement over
the discovery that Sir Adolph Carron,
as Militia Minister, has given orders to
keep Battery under arms at the Cita-
del throughout the day. People are
naturally asking what this is for, and
why Quebec is thus declared in state of
siege, no violence being anticipated from
any quarter, except. perhaps, from the
rufflans in Quebec West, with whom the
civil authorities are thoroughly compe
tent to deal.

ment has conclusive proof that General
Boulanger and his supporters concocted
plot which resulted in the explosion
of public opinion against the Empress
Frederick. Lord Salisbury is said to be
greatly incensed, and proposes to expel
Boulanger from British territory.
Boulanger is believed to have inspired
the assaults in the Boulangist press
upon the Empress, and to have planned
even greater insult than was actually
directed to her. Had the precise hour
of departure been known the Boulangists
would have made a demonstration that
could not have failed to bring about a
critical situation between the two gov
ernments.
Boulanger has thus made himself obi
GUS to Germany and to England, where
the Empress has always been popular,
while France offers him only the asylum
of Jail.
England has always given a refuge to
political exiles, and Boulanger is counted
as one, but it is quite another thing to
hagbor men actually engaged in plot
ting against a neiRhboring and friendly
nation. As Boulanger is not British
subject, the government has entire dis
erection, SO far as ordering him out of the
country. Should such a step be taken,
the French conspirator would probably
be without friend in Parliament.

THE AKRON MuRDsREss.
Sadie McNullen on Trial for a Horrible
Crime.

Sadie McNIulIen Trial for n Horn ible
Crime.
BUFFALO, N. Y, March 5-The trial
of Sadie McMullsn, the Akron murder.
ess, has begun here before Judge Lewis
in the Supreme Court. Pale, slender,
self possessed, and dressed with simple
taste, with her luxuriant brown hair
flowing loosely over her shoulders, pretty
blue-eyed Sadie walked into the court
room to be tried for her life. Sheis a lit
tie creature, though almost a woman in
years. There is nothing about her face
in repose that indicates a murderous
spirit, nor yet insanity.
The officer who had her in charge led
her directly before Judge Lewis, where
her lawyer, E. A. Ha Us, of this city, and
counsel, Major B. o. Farrer, of this city,
and H. L Steiner, of Akron, had seats
District Attorney Quinby represented
the people.
'What is the plea P" asked Judge
Lewis.
"Only not guilty." was the reply.
So it appeared that the special plea Of
| insanity was not to be made. However,
| this does not prevent the defence prov
ing insanity If possible.
The crime for which Sadie McMullen,
who is only II years of age, is to be
tried, was one or peculiar and provoked
atrocity. On Friday evening, Oct. 81,
1890, Sadie, then living in Akron, en-
ticed Della Brown, aged 6, and Nellie
May Connors, children of the neighbor-
hood where she lived, to go with her for
walk. They went in the direction of
the New York Central Railroad trestle
over Murder Creek. Miss McMullen
dragged the children to the middle of
the trestle, and after fearful struggle
threw both off into the creek. The dead
and mangled body of the Connors girl
was found several hours later. Her
body was ruellyNbruised and her brains
had been dashed out by striking the
| stone abutment.
Little Della was found few feet away
breathing painfully. She miraculously
escaped being killed. She fingered be-
tween life and death for several weeks
and finally recovered. After throwing
the children from the trestle Miss Nc
Mullen went to bridge in the rear of
Browns saloon and jumped into the
creek. Simon Brown, the father of the
| girl she almost succeeded in killing,
heard her cries and saved her life.

An Attorney Trles to Prove that tins

BRIDGEPORT, Conn.,, March 5.-Durin
the trial of the Wordin will case here
Attorney Judge Stoddard, who appears
for the contestants, made an effort to
prove that the testator was hypnotized
when he made a will
1t was during the examination OF
Henry E. Stamford, who seems to have
had a wonderful influence over DIR. Wor-
din, whose relatives are now seeking TO
prove was not in his right mind when he
made a will leaving many of them out
in the cold. The witness made the re-
markable statement that he could, in q
measure, read Mr.. Wordin mentally.
He said that when Mr.. Wordin came to
see him he always knew before a word
was spoken what was up. He further
stated that all he had to do was to touch
the testator and the latter would become
subservient to the witness will. The
witness, in reply to questions by Mr..
Stoddard, said he knew nothing about
hypnotism or mesmerism, and that he
exercised this influence over the testator
simply because the latter trusted inn
plicitly in him.
The evidence was listened to with great
interest. 1t is probable that Stamford
will be recalled and questioned further
concerning the strange influence he had
over Mr.. Wordin.

go is on trial for his life. The murder
| of Mrs. Annie Miller on Sept. 25 last,
near Matchtown, following, as it did
SO closely upon the termination of the
great Leconey trial; the dangerous con,
nection of Lingo with the latter. and
the rapidity with which suspicion was
fastened upon him for the former, led by
a natural sequence of events to his ar
rest. Then, as now, he made logged
professors Of innocence.
The court room was packed with peo-
pie who came from the surrounding
country. Among the auditors was
Chalkley Leconey, the man who es
capped with his life on a charge of muir
dering his niece. He shared with Lingo
the eager scrutiny of the crowd. LIE
coney is we'll aware that the public be
lieves that the murder of his niece lies
between himself and Lingo, and to him
Lingo's conviction means to a certain
extent his own vindication. Lingo is a
negro of medium size, strong and thick
set. His face is one that a stranger
would distrust. His defense is an alibi
Judge Westcott said he would produce
witnesses to account for Lingo's move
ments from the time he left Thomas
Young's farm, where he worked up to
noon of the day of the murder, until
o'clock of the day of that afternoon,
when he returned to work. Lingo's
counsel also declared that the piece of
new flannel belonging to Lingo's shirt
was torn the day before the murder
while Lingo was passing through the
woods.
Out of panel of 4s jury was soon
obtained, when Assistant District-Attor-
ney Ridgway opened for the prosecution.
The first witness called was the murder
ed woman's husband.
Hts Examination Creates Surprise.
He swore that he left her at home and
started for a neighborinR farm. When
he returned at 9 O'Clock his wife had
started for Mooerstown. He drove into
Camden for a load of coke and did not re-
turn until in the afternoon. He drove
to the station several times that even
ing, but his wife did not return. The
next day he instituted search, and her
body was found in the woods near Mer.

held Miller under n fierce fire of cross-ex-
animation for over an hour. The wit
ness grew very much embarrassed at
times. When asked when he was in the
woods where his wife's body was found,
Miller answered quickly:
81 was not there on the 25th."
81 did not ask you whether you were
in those woods on the day of the muir
der. Now why did you volunteer the

asked Mr.. Westcott.
The witness could not reply. The di-
rection of the cross-examination excited
surprise, as it seemed designed to throw
suspicion on Miller. He will probably
be called as a witness for the defense.

L.. 81. 4


by the Y. NJ. c. L. A.
The anniversary of the birth of Robert
Emmett, the Irish patriot, was celebrated
In fitting manner by the Young Mems
Catholic Literary association at their
rooms last evening. John III. Moran
presided, and an interesting programme
was rendered.
P. j. Mcmahon opened with an adj
dress on the life of Emmett. REGULATIONS
We're delivered by James Lynch, Will.
liam c.. Moore, Patrick Barry, James
Smith and Martin Geraghty. Remarks
were made by Martin Scully, Martin
Mcdonald and j. III. Moran.
The event of the evening was the re-
citation of an original poem by j. J.
O'Reilly, who received much applause.
The poem is as follows:
We have met tonight in union with
The eXiles DER the earth,
To celebrate as freemen should
Immortal Emmet's birth;
The brave, the pure, the generous,
That grand, heroic soul
That scorned the English's despot's rule
And struck for freedoms goal;
The chieftain of the grand old cause,
Who flashed the sunburst high
Though but for one brief moment,
BeLeath the Irish sky.
He gathered round his standard,
By the LiffeY's sluggish wave.
The noble hearts that wildly throbbed
To fill patriots grave.
He thrilled them with the story
Of how fields were fought and won
By Irishmen in other lands
Beneath fore: gn sun
How Sarsfield fell on Landen's plain,
That soldier brave and free,
And dying sighed-Oh Motherland,
Would this blood was shed for thee.
How proudly waved the Irish flag
That day at Fontenoy
Their watchword: Remember
Limerick,
We will win the day or die"
How Brian's troops rushed on the Dane
On Clontarf's bloody strand,
And drove the Scandinavians
Forever from our land.
And that glorious charge at Benburb,
Where the red sand swept the field
And the mail clad ranks of proud
Monroe
Died hard upon the shield.
His great heart swell with thoughts
like these,
That burned into his brain
Until in fancy he could see
Poor ireland free again.
His youth, his eloquence, his love,
Endeared him to their heart,
And each man swore with hand on
sword,
To do mans full part
They rose, they fought, he bled and
died,
He sleeps in Irish earth,
And hence it is, we meet to night
To celebrate his BIRTH

Parneu Talks ON the Labor Question.

LONDON, March 5.-In an address in
this city Mr.. Parnell devoted himself to
the labor question and the course OF
Parliament regarding the question. He
said he deplored the spectacle of the
English Liberal party taking the active
leadershipin a movement to prevent labor
from obtaining its just rights. When
Mr.. Parnen mentioned the name of
OBrien it was loudly cheeered. The
speech, in Liberal opinion, was the be-
ginning of an attempt to detach the
English labor classes from Davitt, who
has heretofore enjoyed a monopoly of
Irish influence in that direction.
