more or less applause greeted each notable
from his partisans.
Members were generally goodhumored,
the Conservatives looking reconciled
to defeat, and the Liberals happy
over victory.
The Right Hon. Joseph Chamberlain
arose and spoke on the motion of no
confidence"
Vim. G. f. Mccartney, Conservative,
of South Antrim, followed with strong
denunCiation of Home Rule
Sir Henry James, Liberal Unionist for
the Lanes division of Bury, defended the
Government in favoring n protracted de
bate and cited the four days debate in
the House In 1871. He called upon MFR.
Gladstone to confirm the applicability of
the precedent, but Mr.. Gladstone refused
to sanction the comparison, remarkinG
dryly: Tho cases are totally dissimi-
lar"
The House showed symptoms of res
tiveness during Sir Henry Jamess speech,
and when the Ri. Hon. Henry Chaplain.
President of the Board of Agriculture and
Conservative member for the Seaforth di-
vision of Lincolnshire, arose to defend the
Government, he was received with con
tinued cries of divide" and general con-
fusion among the opposition benches.
Mr. Chaplain proceeded undismayed,
however, to attack the opposition for its
aimlcss and underlined policy. He was
frequently interrupted and sat down
amid renewed calls for n division, laugh
ter from the opposition benches, and
faint cheers from the Ministerialists
Meantime the calls for n division
Rwelled to a chorus and were not stilled
until the declaration came that the vote
on the no confidence was at hand.
In the division the Parnellites and the
anti Parnellites fell in together behind
Mr. Gladstone. When the members re-
entered the House ironic cheers were
given for Mr.. Balfour.
Mr.. Gladstone was about the last one
of all to come back. When he appeared
the Nationalists rose, waved their hats and
cheercd. 1t was then announced that the
vote for the amendment was $50, against
the amendment 80; majority for the
amendment, 40.
The Liberals rose, waving their hats,
turned TO Mr.. Gladstone and cheered for
several minutes. The old man flushed
slightly during the ovation, but other
wise was apparently unmoved.
As the cheering abated Mr.. Balfour,
amid cries of coercion" cheering and
"booing," and counter cheering, moved
| the adjournment of the House.

LONDON, Aug. 12.-The House of Com
mons, by a vote of $50 to $40, has voted
mo confidence" in the Salisbury Cabinet,
and nothing is now left for it but to re,
sign.
The House was packed when Parlia'

crowds were standing on the floor and
in the Gangways-
Among the distinguished spectators
were the Earl OF Cadogan, Lord Knuts-
ford, the Prince of Teck, the Duke OF
Devonshire. Prince Hatzfeldt, the German
ambassador, Minister Lincoln, and other

of the progress of the case, which was in
the main unavailing.
Mrs. George Whitehead, a step sister Of
the deceased woman, Mrs. Trip. a neigh
Dor and Miss Russell, who was placed in
charge of the household, were examined
at the inquest as to the relations of the
family. The deposition of Mrs. Hiram c.
Harrington was also taken.
y second autopsy was held in the ladies
waiting room at Oak Grove Cemetery
during the morning. Mrs. Bordens body
was examined first. The new fact dis
covered was a bruise on the back near the
left shoulder about the width of an axe
and shaped like the head of an axe.
1t gives another clew to the exact posi-
tion held by Mrs. Borden when the deed
was committed.
The afternoon session began at $50
o'clock. The first witness called was
Eli Bense. the clerk in DR.. Smiths drug
store, who told the police several days ago
that Lizzie Borden had tried to purcha Sc
poison at Mr. Smiths drug store
Bense swore to this statement, and it
is said gave further information which
materially strengthens that part of the
evidence against Lizzie Borden, which re-
lates to the poisoning.
After the testimony of Bense had been
taken, a drug clerk named Frank Kilroy
was called. 1t was learned that kilroy
Is one of the witnesses by whom the Dis
trict Attorney is going to prove that Liz
zie Borden not only tried to purcha Sc,
but actually did buy poison.
When kilroy was through, Cashier
Fred Hart of the Union Savings Bank, in
which Mr.. Borden is said to have kept
his stocks and bonds, went up stairs to
| the court room. Mr.. Hart was asked in
regard to Mr.. Borden's financial affairs.

DEACON WOULDN'T GET OUT.
He Rejected the Proposal to he Set Free
If He Would Leave France.

PARIS, Aug. 12.-The report that Ed
ward Parker Deacon, now undergoing
a years imprisonment for the shooting of
NJ Abeille, had received and rejected a
proposal from the French government to
the effect that he would be set free if he
would leave France at once, is con-
firmed.
The idea in making such an offer was
to prevent the trial of the Deacon divorce
suit taking place in France. The suit is
set for Sept. 23.
The French authorities are much dis
appointed at the refusal, as their object
has been, if possible, to prevent the trial
of Deacon's suit against his wife for di-
vorce, and the exposure to the world of
the additional evidence going to show her
guilty of misconduct with NJ Abeille
They would like to expel Deacon from
the country after his term of imprison-
ment, but, rs they have no ground for
such action, it is feared that it might
call forth remonstrance on the part of
the American Legation. Therefore the
attempt was made to induce Deacon him
self to so as a condition of being liberated.

is to consider the Homestead strike.
In discussing this subject William Car

STILL A MYSTERY.

Nobody Has Yet Explained tho Secret OK
Ouija's Strange Power.
Ouiia still tlourishes in Boston, &C
cording to the Transcript, as a draw
ing-roOm amusement Now and then
it accomplishcs something quite remark
able, as, for instance, the other night,
when storywriter asked the question
of Ouija-the story-writer not being at
the board, but sitting near by-"What
is to be the name of the hero of my
next story?" No one but the asker of
the question knew what the name was,
but Ouija proceeded to spell out the first
four letters of very unusual name
and then stuck. After awhile, with q lit
tie faltering and wrong letter once,
the entire name was spelled out. 1t
must have been hit upon either by acct
dent-which would be very remarkable
Or else must have somehow got from
the mind of the only person who knew
the name to the fingers of the persons
who were at the board-which perhaps
would be still moro remarkable One
young lady was told by Ouija that a
friend had gift of lilies for her at the
office. To test the matter she went to the
office, and found him about to send her
an Offering of lilies. Perhaps this was
simply clever guess. 1t is singular
thing that Ouija is generally inclined to
blackguardism and bad words, and has
been known to swear violently in
households where no oath was ever
heard. The spiritualists explain it on
the ground that the board is manipu-
lated by an idle, impertincnt sort OF

SHOT FATHER AND SISTER.
Fronzied Deed of IA Young Farmer Near
CnrmIchaelS, Pa.


PITTsBURG, Aug. IA terrible tragedy
and probable double murder occurred near
Carmichaels, Greene county, Pa, about
10 o'clock yesterday morning. John Nor
gan, a we'll to do farmer was fatally shot
by his 21year- old son Thomas, who acct
dentally shot his younger sister, Callic,
while he was shooting at his father.
The tragedy was at the home of Mr..
John Morgan. The trouble was brought
about by the prospective marriage of the
old gentleman, which marriage was bit
terly opposed by his four grown children,
the son and three daughters.
Early in the morning the father sent
out for some of his neighhors. among
them Mr.. Stevenson, n brother in law, to
help bring his children to reason, but
the son was in dangerous III God, and
armed with two revolvers he warned the
neighbors to stay away from the house
Further words were then had between
father and son and daughters. The son
fired at his father but missed him, hit
ting his youngest sister instead. The ball
entered the right side of her neck, pass
ing downward into the lungs.
The son continued shooting at his IA
Their, chasing him out of the house. Mr..
Morgan ran to vacant house nearby.
While trying to open tho door the son
shot him in the back. The old gentle
man staggered in and crawled up stairs.
The son climbed up on the roof of n shed
adjoining and fired at his father thro ugh
the windows until he had emptied his re
volver.
The physicians say. there is little hope
for the recovery of father and daughter

AGAIN IN DANGER.
Another Plot to XIII FrIck Said to Have
Been Discovered.


PrTTsBURG, Aug. 12.-H. c. Frick's life
may be again in danger. Authentic news
that an Anarchist, pledged to take the life
of the Chairman of the Carnegie Com
pany, is hiding in this city, has reached
here. The miscreant is Aaronstann, the
rabid friend of Assassin Berkman. The
following dispatch received last nigh.
from New York explains the depth of the
plot:
"Vice Consul Otto Elberhard of Austria
to-day discovered evidence that goes to
show what a web of Anarchist tolls has
been thrown around II. c. Prick, and
goes far to prove that the plot to kill him
was worldwide, instead of being merely
the freak of a crank. :
"The Vice Consul has been for some
time closeted with an Embassy of the
Austrian police Bureau.
The plot unfolded to the Vice Consul
by the Austrian had its inception in the
old country, while its qualifications ex-
tended from New York to Chicago. The
Austrian produced proofs that Aaron
stann, the friend of Berkman, had been
assigned to do the killing"

parents left the house in charge of the
daughter, and Harris, who was employed
on the farm, went there and assaulted
her. Harris denies the charge, but DR..

the crime was committed. There is great
indignation and threats of lynching are
being made.

SHE TAKES IT COOLLY
Lizzie Borden Not Surprised
at Arrest.
THE BODIES AGAIN EXAMINED

Continuation of the Inquest--The Deci-
sion to Arrest Lizzie Arrived Mt After u
Long Consultation by the Authorities
Public Feeling Running High.
FALL RIVER, Mass, Aug. 12.-While
the arrest of Lizzie Borden, daughter of
the murdered merchant, had been expected
all along, yet when the announcement
was made, last evening, it caused an i'm
mense sensation. To-day the arrest is
the all-absorbing topic of discussion. She
was made a prisoner in the inquest room
of the Central Police station, where she
was taken ostensibly as witness.
There were present her sister Emma,
seven years older than Lizzie, her
counsel, and Marshal billiard. Her
counsel waived the reading of the war
rant. 1t charges her with the murder of
her father and stepmother. She was ly-
ing on n lounge when formally accused
of the crime. She manifested no surprise
Her face expressed anger, but no fear.
After a moment it resumed the express
sion of stolid reserve that it wore even in
the presence of her murdered father.
While her sister moaned and wrung her
hands in anguish, she lay quietly ON the
couch without n sign to indicate that she
was uncomfortable or in danger
She was given over to the custody of
the matron of the station, but she will
not have to sleep in cell. Arrange
ments are being made to confine her in
quarters pleasanter than the ill-titted
dungeons of the provincial Fall River
lookup.
Her sister, still weeping and trembling
left the inquest room leaning on the arm
of Mrs. Brigham, n friend of the family
She needed the supporting arm, for she
trembled violently as she walked to the
carriage in waiting at the door.
To describe the public feeling here
would be difficult. The Bordens were so
well known and the mystery of the
double murder is so exciting to the popu-
lar imagination that it seems to possess
the minds of all classes alike.
The inquest itself, long drawn out and
securely hidden behind the grim stone
walls of the old court house, has dragged
along, in its usefulness vastly important,
and i'll its deliberations as mystifying as
the double murder itself. This has served
to whet the appetite of the feverish and
eNpectant public. There had been s
ceaseless and Unsuitable clamor for new.

Ca, for convention OF jewish RabbIs.

New York, Aug. IA call for a con-
vention of Jewish rabbis, to be held in
this city in October, has been issued. The
convention is called for the purpose of
protesting against the so-called reform
rabbis. The convention is mainly called
because of resolution introduced by
DIR. Wise. of Cincinnati, o., which pro-
vided for the abolition of the AbrahamiC
rite in the case of converts. 1t is said
that the chief motive for this action on
the part of DIR. Wise was for the purpose
of gaining adm ission to Jewish circles for
DIR. Maloney, his son-in law, who refused
10 submit to the rite.
