INTIMIDATION REBUKRD.
Directors of Railroad Before the
House OF Commons

House OF Commons.
LONDON. April Z. - Messrs. Buckley.
Hawkins, Concher aui Mcclure, directors
OF the Cambrain railway, appeared at the
bar OF the House Of Commons to day to
answer a summons charging them with CEN
suring one OF the railway employees who had
testified before the parliamentary commis-
sion inquiring into the hours of labor inn
posed upon railway servants in
such manner as tended to
intimidate other railway employees from
testifying upon the matter tho commission
is inquiring into. The commission made
special report Of the facts in this case, and
the four gentlemen above named were sum
moned by the House to appear before 1t and
explain their action. They all concurred in
expressing regret for censuring Hood the
employe referred to, and declared that their
otfense was uniutentioual
LENIENCY URGED.
Sir Michael Hicks-Beach president OF the
board of trade, who had moved that tho
directors be summoned to the bar Of the
House, moved that the speaker simply ad-
monish the offenders, declaring that it was
not a case In whicn punishment should be
inflicted.
Thomas p. O'Connor moved that the Of
Tenders be not deemed purged until Hood
was reinstated In the position he formerly
held.
The House was crowded, as we're also the
galleries, with persons attracted by the de-
bate on the question.
Mr.. Gladstone supported Mr. Beach's
motion and it was adopted amid uproar
raised by the radical opposition. The vote
was $40 to 70.
The directors were then recalled to the
bar OF the House and the speaker read the
resolution, adding that the House had taken
a lenient view of their conduct In accepting
the apology they had offered and that the
privilege of the House was no unreal, shad-

DEFINING TO Bs TRIED.
The Coroper's Jury Reports Him
Guilty of Wilful Aurder

The Coroner's Jury Reports Him
Guilty of Wilfui Murder.
MELBOURNE, April IA verdict OF
willful murder has been found in tho
Deeming case by the ooroner's jury.
While the ooroner's inquest into the
charges against Deening was in progress TO-
day, Deemings counsel, Mr.. Lyle, said
This abnormal offspring OF mothers
womb has n defense which will open a
question the Engltsh-speaking race must
face, and which has already been dealt with
by some European countries. In the mean
time my first duty is to secure him fair
trial.
In an interview which he had with his
solicitor, Deeming supplied Mr.. Lyle with
abundant material for his defense at the
coming trial. Facts which he gave dated
from the time Of his birth aud included
much information regarding his infancy.
MORAL MoNsrRosIrms.
During his conversation with his solioito,
the prisoner remarked: "The world pro.
duces moral as well as physical monstrosi-
ties" The remark made by DeeminR's
solicitor In court to day in regard to the
question which the defense would open
and the lawyers minute inquiries as TO the
prisoners birth and circumstances con.
neoted with his early childhood are taken
by many persons who are closely watching
the case as foreshadowing the line of de-
tense which will be adopted at the
trial, that Deemings nature had re.
celved a malignant impress prior to
his birth which had Influenced
and marked all his actions during his life
aud had left him mentally Incapable OF
overcoming the homicidal impulses with
which he was afflicted In fact, that he was
what the prisoner himself had described az
''moral monstrosity." DeemIng wants
his brother Albert TO communicate with
him for the purpose OF assisting In the de-.

CLEVELAND COULD WIN.
One Of the interpretations Put on the
hhode Island Election.


WASHINGTON, April 7.-As no sensible
democrat in either house Of congress had
any confident expectation that the demo-
Gratis would be able to carry Rhode Island
under the peculiar conditions Of the recent
fight, none Of them felt disappointed when
the returns showed that the democrats had
not succeeded. Indeed, they were rather
surprised that, ia spite of the tremendous
efforts made by practically all the leaders
of the Republican party, to re-elect Senator
Aldrich, TO say nothing of the contributions
in money and otherwise from less promi-
nent republicans, and in spite of the opposi-
ton OF the Providence Journal and, as
many Of them believe, of Senator David
Bennett Hill, who was afraid that demo-
cratic victory in Rhode Island would
strengthen ex-President Cleveland, the
democrats made an excellent showing.
WHAT IT INDICATES.
1t indicates, the Cleveland democrats
claim, and the anti. Cleveland democrats in
some cases concede, that In November on an
issue between ex-President Cleveland and
President Harrison clearly made, ex>Presi-
dent Cleveland would carry not only Rhode
Island, but Massachusetts and New Hamp-
shire as certainly as Connecticut. In private
conversation the wisest republicans admit
that with ex-President Cleveland at the
head Of the democratic ticket all the states
mentioned would be doubtful OF course
most of the anti-Cleveland democrats are
making as much as possible of the fact that
his one speech did not enable the democrats
to overcome all the obstacles to success, but,
as a Cleveland democrat said to one Of
these men, Mr.. Cleveland's candidacy with
nothing to embarrs5s it would prove a very
different factor from speech made under
such adverse circumstances.

~ flowers which ST. Dorothea sent to
Theophilus after her martyrdom. And
all the while the roar of the great
world was going on, and the endless
procession went sweeping along pala-
tial Regent street, while one quiet
maiden dreamed her dreams and wove
her garlands in peace.
She did not forget Lucy Cromer, that
dear friend who had once sat in this
very place, busy with the same dainty
work that she was doing now. Little
as Olive knew of Lucy's story, she had
guessed at some Of its details, and felt
that weary, passionate heart had
throbbed over the flowers in those days.
Why had life been made so bitter to
Lucy, and so sweet to Olive herself?
Why had the one been taken and the
other left? This bright girl, young and
undismayed, thought pityingly Of her
who had leant upon a broken reed, and
rejoiced proudly in the trusty STAFF that
supported her own footsteps. The time
of loneliness and desertion was nigh at
hand; but she was happy and CONT
dent still.
Nothing of Importance happened in
these days of early summer, while Oh
i've sat wreathing flowers in the Re-
gent street shop. The routine Of her
business life was seldom broken One
customer, who had ordered the spray of
yellow roses, came in and wanted more.
He seem to require a great many bou-
quets and sprays, and sometimes tho
young lady in brown tweed came with
him, but more often he was alone. Tho
flowers were packed in tin boxes and
sent to Seaward Aylstone, Esq. Cecil
street, Strand.
If Olive had forgotten the existence
of Aaron Fenlake, Jane Challoclk's let
ters must have recalled him to her
mind. But she had not forgotten him,
and had asked many questions OF Mi
chael about their old friend. She had
soon discovered, however, that Michael
hated to recall early associations, and
his answers were so curt and unsatiS-
factory that at last she dropped Aaron's
name altogether. Still, it vexed her
sorely that she had no news to send to
Jane, for although there had been no
openly avowed engagement. everyone
in Eastmeon had known that Jane
Challock and Aaron Fenlake were
lovers true. In village it is not easy
W w OAAO . SON4 SAAAS oAOOoSINCA- L AS
birds of the air tell the secret; the
trees whisper it; the stream bsbbles Of
it night and day. Aaron's unspoken
love was freely discussed by all his old
neighbors; and poor James unuttered
hopes were the property of all her girl
friends
Aaron Fenlake had always been a
shy, slow fellow, one Of those unlucky
men who fail to express their feelings
by look or voice. He had often scowled
at Jane when he had meant to smile
sweetly, but Jane preferred his frowns
to the smiles of other men, and in her
heart she did not envy Olive for having
won the magnificent Michael, SO dear
was poor gloomy Aaron to her. Olive
herself respected Aaron and liked him,
not only for his devotion to Michael but
for the steadfast honesty that abe had
always found in him. No, she did not
believe that he had changed TO JaBe.
Men of his stamp do not change, but
they sometimes despair. Aaron might
lose his hope but he would never forget
his love.
