SHE ERRED.
And Chose Death Before Dishonor-A Fa-
miliar Tragedy With New Names.


EAST LIVERPOOL, OHIO, February 26.
The little Hamlet of Chester, across
the river in West Virginia, was the
scene last night of a sad suicide, the
victim being Miss Louisa Rose, the
twenty-year-old daughter of Samuel
Rose, connected with the Buckeye Pot
terry. The other members of the fam
lily were absent in this city, leaving the
unfortunate girl alone. Upon return
ing about 0 o'clock they were Mortified
TO find Louisa lying dead on the parlor
floor. A revolver lying near with one
chamber empty and the blood, which
had formed a pool on the carpet as it
welled from wound in her breast, told
the story.
An examination showed that the ball
had penetrated the heart. Miss Ross
was of a peculiarly lively disposition
and a great favorite among compan-
ions.
1t has developed since her death, how
ever, that she had erred, and as the
time was near at hand when her discre-
tion could no longer be concealed, as
stated in letter left by her and ad-
dressed to her father, she preferred
death TO the dishonor which the future
must bring upon the family. The au-
thor of her troubles, alleged to be a
young man named Stevenson, disap-
peared few days since to escape, 1t is
thought, the opportunities OF his victim
to make good the promise which alone
could save her from disgrace.

Both Sides Seem to he EminentIy Sat
| isfed with the Results OF tho Houio
Caucus.
WAsuIYGToy, ID. c., February 90
The free coinage men OF the House feel
elated over the action OF last nights
| caucus.
Although the action of the caucus
may be termed uraw, the failure OF
Mr.. Harter and the other opponents "
secure any considerable support for the
| proposition OF postponement IS great
| comfort TO Chairman Bland.
They state with considerable emphasis
| that the free coinage men could have
passed resolution In favor Of an early
aud decisive consideration OF the Bland
bill.
Mr.. Harter and his friends content
| themselves by announcing that they
will oppose the Bland bill by every par
lIamentary tactic In their power.
The free coinage men deride the pre-
tensions OF Mr. Harter that the Bland
bill Gun be defeated when II comes up.
| The Democratic members who are OPP
posed TO free coinage will content them
selves by recording their votes against
It.. and the beIligerent scheme OF Mr.
Harter and the eastern Democrats will
not find support In the party. They
| also insist that should the latter call ~
their assistance the Republicans they
will place themselves outside the pale
of the party. and show that In secret
their affiliations are with the minority
party In the House.
10 uahamnrflu HFnfCHf
against any attempt 70 rule them out oil
the Democratic party and say that the
Democrats OF the Nation will come 10
their senses ere the date OF the National
convention and that no plank fayoring
free coinage will find aplsce 10 the plat
form az Chicago, on the 2lst OF June.
Petitions will be presented tomorrow
10 the Committee on Rules asking for q
day To be set for the consideration OF
free coinage. These petitions contain
the signatures OF all the friends OF free
coinage.
Representative Pierce said to-day he
/ had no doubt IN the world, from the as
surances that have been made By the
Speaker and Mr.. McMillIn aud Mr.
| Catchings that the committee will re-
port an order 70 take up the free coin
age bill at an early day. We do not
ask for more than three or four DAYS
debate, but we will insist upon FINAL
action being taken when the bill comes
up.
Mr. Harter, who denies that he lsdis-
couraged by the result OF last nights
caucus, this evening gave his view OK
the situation as follows:
''The result OF the caucus Is pleasing
to the opponents OF free silver. IL
showed that the strength OF the craze -
not so great as IL was supposed 70 Dc,
and that returning reason Is slowly out
surely reassertlng itself."
As matter OF fact, IL is generaby
conceded tonight that the free coinage
question still rests with the Comm!ttee
on Rules, where II was before The eau
Gus was called.

The Irish Local Government Bill as IN
Popular as Ever-Conseryatives Having
Trouble,
Copyright 1892.

Copyright 1892.
LONDON, February 26.-The Cabinet
can still rely upon majority OF sixty,
but the Unionists, of whom one-third
decline to contest for Parliament again,
will not hang about the House to save
the government from chance defeat at
unexpected moments. The opposition
members, now greatly more attentive
to their duties than are the Ministerial
lists, have on several divisions nearly
defeated the government.
An instance was furnished tonight in
the case of minor measure relating TO
the provision of lunatic aSylums for the
North Of Ireland. MeSSrs. Sexton and
Healy and Sir William HarcOurt con-
tended that the bill ought to fall within
the local government measure. Mr.
Healy then moved TO adjourn, and when
the tellers returned the result of the
division was handed to the Irish teller,
Sir Thomas Esmonde, with the intima-
tion that the motion had been carried.
Wild cheers broke from the lopposi-
tion benches and the MinisteraliSts
looked aghast, although Mr.. Jackson,
the Chief Secretary for Ireland, had an
nounced that the bill was not a purely
Government measure. The incident
took an amusing turn when, on Sir
Thomas Esmonde reading the figures, it
was found that the motion to adjourn
had been defeated, the vote being 149
to 1871.
A close scrutiny Of the text Of the
Irish Local Government bill does not
lessen the Liberalal opposition to the
measure. The restrictions with which
the bill hampers free action on the part
of the county councils are endless.
Chancery proceedings are about to
open, following a writ served upon Mrs.
Parnell and Justin Mccarthy, jointly,
at the instance of MesSrs. Redno and
Harrington and others, with the view
TO decide the custody of the Paris funds.
A legal declaration Of the Chancery
Court will only assist the subsequent
action OF the party. The proceedings
signalize the fact that the Parnellites
see no chance of an agreement
Sir Charles Russell. after Mrs. OS-
borne pleads guilty in her trial on
March s, will appear in court to deal
with the case under the first offenders
act, which will enable the judges to re-
lease the accused under bond to reap
pear and undergo sentence.
There is question whether the act
applies to this case. A legal opinion is
that although the charge against Mrs.
Osborne is not included in the act, the
Judges have power to apply the prin-
ciDle.

REGULAR HOUSE PROCEEDINGS.
The Urgent Deficiency Bin Passed-Mr.
Pendleton In the Chair.

-
Pendleton In the Chair.
WASHINGTON, d. c., February 90
The Democrats increased their majority
in the House OF Representatives by one
to-day. The addition 70 the already
overwhelming majority was oy no
means necessary TO secure freer work
ing OF the party organization, but An
drew Stewart, of the Twenty-Iourth
Pennsylvania district, was unSeated,
and Andrew. X. Craig, his Democratic
contestant, declared the regularly
elected Representative.
A great deal of humorous comment
WAS made by member of the House dur
ing the consideration Of this case upon
q rather singular coincidence. On req
ruary 26, 1890, the Republican majority
OF the House OF the Fifty-frSt Congress
called up the contested election case OF
Atkinson against Pendleton, from the
First district OF West Virginia, and
upon the following day Mr.. Pend!eton
was ousted from his seat and MIR. At
klusou was duly Installed as u MEMBER
of the House.
Today while the House was consider
ing the Pennsylvania contested eleetloh
case Of Craig VS.. Stewart, Mr.. PenGle-
ton was called to the chair, and welded
the cavel during the discussion. Two
years AGO Mr.. PcndletOn was taking
leave Of his colleagues; today he was
presiding over the deliberations.
Mr.. SayreS, Of Texas, submitted the
conference report of the Urgent Dehcl-
eucy bin and il was agreed to. (AS
agreed 20, the bill apprOpriateS St2S,6o4,
being SIf9,4S3 more than it carried when
it originally passed the Senate.)
The unfinished business (thiS being
private bilI dGy), was the bill for the
relief of Aquilla Jones, Sr., and II was
passed, yeas. lis: nays, 60.
Then at 4:3O, the House took recess
until o'clock this evening, the session
10 be for the consideration Of private
pension bills.

In moving the expulsion Of Mr.. De

was not an agreeable one TO dwell upon.
The Government had done everything in
their power 10 avoid the appearance of
possible injustice, but they thought the
House could not allow person to remain

ing over him had not taken the opportu-

There was a good deal Of the irony Of
tate In portion of the proceedings Of
the House to-day. The debate on the
Craig Stewart contested election case
from Pennsylvania, the first OF these
cases taken up this session, was in its
laSJ hours.
Ii was q fOregOne conclusion that
when the debate ended and vote was
reached, Stewart, the Republican, would
De turned out Of the House and mis- seat
give 20 Mr.. Craig, the Democrat, whom
the evidence showed had been elected.
During this time the presiding officer
C1 the House was the Democrat who
was the second of the dozen members Of
his party who were turned out Of the
House in the last Congress: Hon. John
o. PeudletOn, Of Wheeling.
Mr. Peud.etOu was called TO the chair
early ia the afternoon by Speaker Crisp
and presided over the House for more
than an hour. Mr.. PendletOn presided
with grace and yigor, aud preserved
order as well as Speaker Crisp, or even
Tom Reed himself, could have done.
lie was not AT all backward about
calling members TO order when their
conversation or laughter became so lOud
IS TO disturb the proceedings or make II
cilcult 10 hear the speech makers on
;he f.0Or.
After he relinQuiShed the gaval and
laid aside the large but brief authority
with which he had been clothed, Mr.
Pendleton said 10 the REGISTER cores
pOndent:
The Speaker sent for me to take the
Chair without any previous arrange
ment. I don't know whether he Sc
lected me because l was one Of the Dem
ocratic members turned out Of the last
Congress or not. did not think Of the
coincidence at all, but while was in
the Chair another coincidence struck
me. This was that two years ago to-
day, on the 26th OF February 1890 my
case was taken up 10 the House and on
the following day | was turned out OF
my seat and Mr.. Atkinson put in"
Shortly before the debate on the eleci
tiouS case concluded the Speaker re-
sumed the chair himself, as 10 one else
could swear in Mr.. Craig, who was
given the seat from which Col. Stewart
was removed. In calling him 10 pre-
side over the House, Speaker Crisp paid
Nlr. Pendletou a high compliment, as
Mr.. PendletOn IS practically new mem
Der, for his services in the last Con-
CresS were cut short by the unscrupu-
lOus Republican majority.
