MELBOURNE, April 1.-THE jury which
has been considering the death of Mrs.
Deeming has finished the inquest and has
brought In n verdict of willful murder
against Deeming. The prisoner still
maintains his jocular mood and appears

divided AZ 70 his condition. Sone people
think he is an imbecile, while others
think his indifference Is merely bravado.

Never did the day dawn upon the un-
terrified Democracy with brighter pros
poets than did yesterday morning. They
had 30 g~ioriously arranged their campaign
that defeat seemed a matter OF impossi-
bility. IL did look In the morning when
the polls opened, that with such an army
of workers 1t would be unsafe for the OPP
position to try and make a respectable
showing, but they went to work, each u
every one, with "A will and at IL o'clock
the democracy was following instead OF
leading. Both parties were working with
a determination of winning. The head
quarters OF the Democracy were directly
opposite the polling place SO that the
nominee of the Democratic party could
see every move hat was made by his w
workers and also the opposition.
At intervals he would emerge from his
hiding place and visit the hall, but he
seemed to have a lack of confidence and
as the day advanced 1t became much
more observable. Every hour during the
afternoon he would hold a council OF war
with his l~ieutenants and minor officers,
and When the 3 O'Clock train arrived the
News was distributed in the hall. Then
they. began to weaken. and from that out
until the polls closed defeat was staring
them in the face. After the ballot box
was closed the only feeling manifested
was 'What are the Republican MAORI
tiesf" IL was by some very
largely estimated, but none could
make an estimate upon the result with
any certainty. IL has been the custom to
circulats the NEWS about town daily n
it is growing TO that extent that IT Is be-
ing read at every Preside. and IL Is posi-
lively owing to this paper, throughout
the State as well as our town, that the
Democracy has met with such an over
whelmidg defeat.

IN THE LEGISLATURE.



Mr.. Wilson of East Providence, from
the committee OF the judiciary, reported
back the bill amending chapter Al OF the
Public Statutes, allowing n town or
city to exempt certain manufacturing cor
porations from taxation by a vote OF a
qualified electors. The act Is intended TO
permit towns to bring new business TO
this State. The period OF exemption Is
not to exceed ten years.
Mr.. Brown OF Woousocket objected 10
the passage of the act until he had con.
suited his constituents. IL they wished
him to vote for the bill he would do so.
He judged from what he had heard that
there was objection to the proposed
measur in his city.
MIR. Wilson said that some Of the towns,
Woonsocket, particularly. had been
| illegally exempting corporations from
taxation. Other towns desired to encour-
! age foreign capital to come to the State;
but they wished to make the exemption
| perfectly legal.
AS there was a general desire for delay
that the public might express their wishes,
Mr.. Darling of Pawtucket moved that the
bill be made the special order for Wednes-
Mr.. Wilson hoped that the motion would
not prevail. The annual town meeting in
| East Providence would be held next Mon
day. There were three corporations
which intended to come to that town, aud
IL the bill was tied NJ the object of the act
would be defeated. -.
Mr.. Darling objected to the bill until
he ascertained whether il conficted with
| the charter of his city. IL East Provi-
dence taxpayers shoufd desire TO dement,
of the law they could easily call a special
town meeting.
