CLERK YOUNG,S CASE.

The Truth of Ills Dismissal From
 :the Senate Has Just Transpired.
 NEW YORK, April 1S.-A special to the Advertiser says: The truth in the case of James Rankin Young has just transpired. He was dismissed, it will be remembered, from his position of executive clerk of the senate because he was charged with having betrayed secrets of the senate in the Beh- ring sea matter. At the time the matter was being considered MT. Young was not in the senate, but came in shortly after: The disclosures were made by member of the senate, who wrote the information on the backs of three envelopes and sent 1t to a newspaper man. After MT. Young was accused of breach of trust this cor respondent went to MT. Young and prof fered him these envelopes. MT. Young de- clined to take the envelopes or to use the evidence, saying he would not asperse the honor of any senator.

ADMITTED THEIR GUILT.

Pension Frauds by the Wholesale
 Discovered in . Small Town In
 Pennsylvania. l.
 WLKEsBARRE, Pa., April 17.-Pension frauds have been committed in Auburn Center, Springville and other places in Susquehanna county for the past year. Yesterday the crime was fixed upon George Billings, alias Louis Van Houton, and Emma Bolton, his sister, who lives at Au- burn Center. The brother and sister were arrested. They admitted their guilt. In order to gain several thousand dollars in pension money they committed seven- teen forgeries. In one case they made an attempt to gain possession of 5000 pension which the government allowed their mother, Mrs. Phoebe Taylor. Among the persons whose names were forged were Prothonotary Worth and Clerk of Courts Ryan of Montrose, County Commissioner Stevens of Susquehanna and Justice of the Peace Steven of Great Bend. The sigma ture of the deceased father of William F. Halstead, general manager of the Dela- ware, Lackawanna and Western road, was also forged. j: "@.

DEATH OF 4 PROMINENT LIBERAL.
THE BARNABY CASE.

1t Will be Brought Into Prominence Again This Week-Judge: Furman z Will File His Brief Giving Grounds for Asking a New Trial.
 DENVER, Col, April 17.-The celebrated
 Barnaby case will be brought into promi-
 hence in the early part of the coming week
 when Judge Furman, counsel for Dr.
 Thatcher Graves, will .tils hfS brief with
 the supreme court, giving grounds for ask-
 ing new trial. In this document Judge
 Furman first refers to the seventh instruc-
 tion by Judge Rising, in which the jury
 was instructed that it did not require
 reasonable doubt to render verdict of
 guilty. Every circumstance material in a
 case must be proved beyond rational
 doubt, or it is the duty of the jury to con-
 vict. Again the court erred in charging
 the jury to consider the letter
 written by Dr. Graves to Mrs. Bafnaby on March 27 to San Francisco and after
 ward returned through the dead letter office as @ confession of guilt. This is the letter through which the defense claimed Graves was unaware of the deceased woman's exact whereabouts. In referring to some of the witnesses Judge Furman says: "He was placed completely at the mercy of witnesses who could swear at pleasure without contradiction or liability to the penalties of perjury"
 After a review of Mrs. Worrell's testi- mony the brief reads: of this is legal or dinance then no mans life is safe in Colorado, and if such testimony is sus- tained the law will be prostituted from its high mission of enforcing right and jus tice. Again the court erred in not grant ing the application for postponement." In conclusion it is claimed that ''this looks like the warfare and ambuscade of the savage, rather than the orderly proceed ipgs in @ court of justice where human life, character and right should be held sacred"
 Our contention is, both in the admitting of evidence and instructions, the predomi- nant and controlling which characterized this trial was that plaintiff could be con- victed, and that as @ matter of fact he was convicted upon the suspicious of witnesses and upon heresay. x, | In the rulings of which we complain fragrant wrong was done the plaintiff and a precedent was set which, if notfeversed, is pregnant with danger to liberty, right and justice, and will prove an everlasting stain upon the administration of law in our ! state." It is more than probable a new trial will be granted l'

BARON FAvA WILL COME BACK.

DAAON FAVA WILL COME HACK He Left Against His Will Under Posi. tive Orders from His Government Italy VIII Now Make . Fine DispIay at the Worlds Fair.
 WASHINGTON, April 17.-Professor F.
 R. Fava, jr., son of Baron Fava. says his
 fathers return to Washington depends on
 his own disposition, but he is satisfied that
 the baron will come back here. The baron has recently been advanced to the highest rank in the service. Professor Fava re- grets the criticism of his fathers action in leaving Washington by the press of America, and denies the truth of the charge that the baron was ignorant of the laws of the United States. He left against his will and only under positive orders from his government. Professor Fava states the Italian authorities are pleased over the set clement and he is satisfied that the old time good feeling between the governments has been restored. Italy will now make 6 fine exhibition at Chicago, he thinks.

A MOTHERS INSANE ACT.

She Cuts the Throat Of Her Three
 Weeks-Old Babe and Then Makes
 an Attempt to Kill Herself.
 PORTLAND, Me-, April 17.-This after noon @ shocking affair took place on Elmer son street, at the east end. Mrs. James Robertson cut the throat of her three weeks-old baby and then tried to kin her self. The husband of the woman was in an upper room at the time. He heard in sane shrieks and laughter from his wife, ran down stairs and found her brandishing . razor over her head. On her lap lay the dead babe, it's throat cut from ear to ear. AS soon as the unfortunate woman saw her husband she tried to cut her own throat, hacking at it several times. MT. Robertson sprang to the side of his wife and caught her arms, shouting for help. Two policemen happened to be near by and ran in, securing the maniac. She was taken to the police station and from there to the City hospital. Her wounds are not seri- ous, but it is thought that she will not live. She has been afflicted with Ia grippe during the spring and the disease left her in low physical condition. When her babe was born the mothers reason was impaired, but showed no symptoms of real insanity until to-day.

IN THE HOUSE AND SENATE.

IN IhH HOOSE AND SENATE What Will be Discussed by Our Ma
 tiOnal Lawmakers This Week.
 Many Important Measures to Re-
 eeive Attention.
 WASHINGTON, April 1.-The urgent deficiency appropriation bill is to be earliest possible moment, and the army appropriation bill is to follow later. Sena- tor Hoar, who is about to leave this coun- try for Europe on account of his health, is desirous that the senate shall act speedily upon the bills reported by him from the judiciary committee amendatory of the circuit court of appeals act and creating & court of appeals in the District of Colum- bia, and it is probable that the senate will comply with his wish. Silver is likely to figure in e desultory fashion through speeches and in morning hours during the week.
 It is possible that the Chinese restric- ton bill may come before the senate this week, in which case there will be lively discussion growing out of the efforts of the Pacific coast senators to procure &C., ceptance of the house bill as 8 substitute for the less rigorous senate measure.
 In the house considerable part of Mon days session may be devoted to the naval appropriation bill.
 The chairman of the house election com mittee has given notice that he will call up the Noyes-Rockweu election contest from New York on Tuesday. The debate in this contest will be spirited and as public at tention has been attracted to the case to an unusual extent it is not unlikely that it will be found impracticable to reach 8 vote in less than three days.
 The appropriation bill will then be talk en up again, and the program is for the "sundry civil" bill to follow the naval bill. The consular and diplomatic bill is next on the list, but unless it should displace the sundry civil bill it's prospects for consider ation this week are not bright.
