eve hope the English Government will
make no more blunders through loose
talk on economical questions. Lora
Salisbury has done no good either to
himself or to his party by his Hastings
speech; and Mr.. Goschen may now see
that his too facile acce ptance of Americas

failed to secure q rise in the price OF
silver. There is not among the most
ardent bi-metallists one who has faith
enough to buy the metal at current rates.
Cheap silver has given us cheap food and
raw materials and has enabled England
to hold her place far more easily than her
rivals.
Nothing would be so disastrous to our
foreign trade as a sndden rise in silver.
II the price again touched 60, the shock
would be seriously felt for years, espec-
tally by India, which would experience
the utmost difficulty In finding the
seventeen million pounds sterling year

MRS. DEACON NOT IN COURT.
Her Evidence Was Given by = Deposition
The Spectators Comment vivaciousiy
ON the 4" Harshness of the Sentence
A Celebrated Case Settled.

MOE, May 21.-The trial OF Edward
Parker Deacon, who is charged with
manslaughter for the killing OF M. Abeil-
lie, opened yesterday at the Assize Court
OF the Alpes Maritimes. A large crowd
gathered about the Palais de Justice,
while the doors leading to the court were
blocked by those who had secured tick
cts of admission. The crowd in the gal
lery was composed almost entirely Of
members OF the aristocratio circle OF
Nice.
The proceedings opened At twenty min =,
President OF the Court, on the bench.
The Count Du Moron, Procureur of the
Republic, represented the prosecution.
Mr.. Deacon was represented by Maitre
Demarge, q celebrated advocate of the
Paris Bar; M. Goirand, an equally well
known lawyer of Paris; Frank Pilotte,
Cannes. The Abeille family, though not
taking any part in the proceedings, was
represented by Maitre Lairolle.
Mr.. Deacon was brought into the court
room by two gendarmes who escorted him
to the prisoners bench and then took up
As he entered the room all eyes were di-
rected upon him. The stories that have
long been current as to his indifference
over the killing or as to the results of his
trial were belied by his aspect. A pallor,
caused either by anxiety or i'll health,
marked his features.
Mrs. Deacon, who had been formally
cited to appear, was not present. All the
other witnesses replied as their names
were called by the clerk OF the court, M.
Grifiier, who read the accusation. The
jury was composed of tradesmen in the
city and a few petty landowners, but
obviously men Of fair intelligence.
Mr.. Deacon, on the invitation OF the
President of the Court, recounted his
relations with his wife from 'heir mar
riage until 1890. Their life, he said, was
a happy one until they made the ac-
quaintance OF Abeille. That was In
1887. Abeille's visits to the Deacon home

Cuspidore.
Julia Murphy, u young woman about
% years of age, was arraigned In the sixth
district court this morning charged with
assaulting Peter Pallas with dangerous
weapon. She pleaded guilty and was
bound over to the June term of the court
of common pleas, In $500 bonds The

Main street, visited her and dur
ing the call an alteration ensued
between him and the woman. She claims
that Pallas struck her first, and then she
grabbed up a cuspidore and struck him
on the head, inflicting two bad cuts on
the scalp. DIR. Traver was called ana
found the man to be in a precarious con-
dition. Blood was flowing freely from
the wounds in his head, and he was very
weak. His injuries, however, are not
considered fatal
The woman is n sister of Pallas' former
wife, and IL Is claimed that he called upon
her at her request. Lieut.. Horton or
Station arrested the woman later In the
evening and locked her up In the station
over night. The cuspidore seems TO be
the favorite weapon of defence, or offence,
in this neighborhood.
Late Thursday night, a man was seen
to run hastily from a house on Winter
street, while directly In his wake, moving
with meteor-like velocity, spun heavy
cuspidore. The man, by strenuous efforts
succeeded in dodging tie implement and
jumping hastily into buggy standing at
the edge of the sidewalk, drove rapidly
