Indirectly Responsible.
New YORK, March 6.--Coroner Levy's
tunnel accident jury found a verdict last
night which held the New York, New

officers and directors, solely responsible
for the deaths of six persons who were
killed in the accident.
In plain, straightforward language
they charged the deaths of two of these
unfortunates upon the stoves which the

road used in its cars in violation of the
laws of the State.
Criminal prosecution is to follow at
once these comprehensive findings.
Mr.. Chauncey NJ. Depew and the other
directors of the railroad who live in
New York will be arrested to-day and
held on bail to await the action of the
grand jury.
The district attorney, through his rep
sentative at the inquest, has promised
that he will use every effort to follow
out the indications of the jury as to the
persons criminally responsible for the
disaster.
The jury's verdict relieved Operators
McManus and Ames from any share of
blame, and held Engineer Fowler only
indirectly responsible. The engineer
will be held with the officers and direc-
tors or the railroad for the grand jury's
disposal. Recommendations for action
by the Legislature looking to the better
protection of life in the tunnel will be
forwarded to the Legislature by the
coroner.

FIGHTING. AN EXCISE BILL.
Opposition to tho Measure Prepared by
the Liquor Dealers OF New York,

the Liquor Dealers OF New York.
ALBANY, N. r, March 9Th Assem-.
bly, Excise Committee gave a hearing on
Mr.. Schaafs general excise bill pro-
viding for an entirely new excise law
the bill prepared by the liquor dealers Of
the State. Among those appearing
were j: Noble Hayes and w. Harris
Roome of the New York City Reform
Club, Rev. w. w. Attebury of the New
York Sabbath COMMITTEES, Father Wal
worth, DR.. Mcleod of Albany and DR..
Andrew III. Smith, of the Church Tenn
perance Society.
Rev. Mr.. Attebury denied that work
ingmen were behind the bill or were its
advocates. Certainly the workingmen's
wives and families were not for it.
Senator McCarron spoke for the bill,
saying that the present law had proved
inefficient and this one was to take its
place and make a good law. 1t might
not be perfect, but it would be an i'm.
provement.
Father Walworth spoke against the
bill. He said that every section of 1t
breathed of immortality. 1t gave chill
dren the right to drink and defiled the
Sabbath, which God Himself had made
holy. 1t would only pass the Legisla-
ture by the aid of ungodly men, and
every man who voted for it would have
to answer at the throne of God for an
action which meant damnation to thous-
ands of souls.
There will be further hearing Inext
Wednesday evening.

The Question OF ExtradItion Arises In tho
Case OF tho Railroad OhoIsls.
NEW York, March 8.-The question
of extradition between the States of
New York and Connecticut will again be
raised by the issuance of warrants for
the arrest of the officers and directors of
the New York, New Haven s. Hartford
Railroad, in accordance with the verdict
of the coroner's jury in the tunnel acct
dent Investigation. 2 The majority of the
officials reside in Connections, and it
may be necessary, after the service of
the warrants, to secure extradition pa
pers from the Governor of that State.
1t is probable that the officers and di.
rectors when arrested will waive any
rights of this nature, but should they de-
eide to demand their free legal privileges
it will be interesting to watch the course
of Governor Hill when asking Connecti-
cut to turn over the prisoners to some
court within his jurisdiction. There is
a chance for peculiar complications.

CAMDEN, N. j., March 6.-Interest in
the trial of Francis Lingo for the muir
der Of Mrs. Annie Miller near Matchtown
does not abate. On the contrary, the
proceedings in the Camden court house
served to show even greater anxiety and
interest than was exhibited yesterday.
The Commonwealth continued the ex-
animation of witnesses, and by the man
ner of testimony sought to be elected
outlined by intimation the theory of the
prosecution, theory which it would
seem is we'll understood by the defence,
to judge by the deliberate and skilful
cross-examination, which attacks and at
tempts to break the main points.
Lingo listens attentively to the testi-
mony and presents a stolid front. Only
ON occasions does an expression of deep
thought come over his face. His general
manner is more self-possessed and con-
fident than anything else. Chalkley
Leconey was again an interested listener.
Miss Collins, a sister of the murdered
woman, testified that Lingo ate break
fast at the Collins farm on the morning
of the murder. The sleeves of his fan
mel shirt were ragged, but not torn. She
added that her sister lived happily with
her husband.
County Physician Isard testified that
he had examined the body of the muir
dered woman and that death was due to
a wound inflicted by a razor or some
other sharp instrument.

THE TORIES TRIUMPH
Sir John Macdonald Returned
to Power in Canada.
THREE MINISTERS DEFEATED.
The Liberals Reduce the Conservative
Majority to 10:

The Tories Are Not Elated Over Their
smalI-Sizsd victory-sevsraI Political
Surprises-Ths Liberals Predict that
the Country Again.
TORONTO, March CATER one of the
hottest campaigns of his 40 years of politi-
,al life Sir John Macdonald has again been
returned to power, but with q sadly re-
duced majority. The majority of 81
which he had when he dissolved Parlia-
ment is diminished to about Is.
In Ontario his former majority of SO
is reduced to less than five in Quebec,
which has usually been.his great strong
hold, his majority of Is is changed to a
minority of about seven, or a net 1osss of
over 20 seats.
The maritime provinces, where the
Liberals were sanguine Of making a
clean sweep, disappointed all of their
expectations and were virtually the
means of sustaining the government.
Little change was expected in the
Northwestern and Pacific provinces where
the government had a majority of ii in
the last Parliament. This representa-
tton is practically unchanged.
Several Surprises.
mere were NUMBER OF surprises In
the election returns. Hon. John CARING,
Minister of Agriculture, was defeated in
London, Ont; Hon. George F. Fos-
ter, Minister of Finance, and former
ly Minister of Marine and Fisheries, in
Kings County, New Brunswick, and
Hon. G. G. Colby, President of the Privy
Council, in Stanstead, Quebec. The
other Cabinet Ministers were reelected.
Sir John Macdonald polled a surpris-
ing vote in Kingston, where the Liberals
expected to defeat him. His majority
of II at the last election is increased
this time to over 800. Hon. Peter
Mitchell. Minister af Marine in the last
Liberal Cabinet, was defeated in North
cumberland, New Brunswick. All the
other prominent Liberal leaders were re.
elected, including Laurier, Cartwright,
Mills and Charlton.
The Conservatives are not indulging in
any great amount of jubilation. Their
losses in the battle of both officers and
men is not calculated to Undue them
with any great amount of hilarity.
The Liberals are greatly encouraged by
the showing they made in the election
and confidently assert that Sir John can
not carry on the government with his
meagre majority and will ere long be
forced to make another appeal to the
country, when they expect to defeat him.
