OBJECT LESSON ON TEMPERANCE.
 Joseph Bulon, Frenchmap, was ar- rested by Constable Peck, Monday eVen- iBg, on complaint of his wife, for drunk ennes8 and assault. Henry T. Dayton was the presiding justice. As neither the complainant or defendant could speak English, pr Emil Seytter, master ia Iatb's school, acted as interpreter. It seems that for some time Bulon has kept filled up with hard cider and made life burden for bis wife, who is an honest working woman, and supports the home, pays the rent, etc. Sunday he got fren- zied and ran at his wife with an open knife, at the same time using violent lan- guage. His wife made her escape and Complained to Grand Juror Marggratf, who made out a writ for his arrest. When Constable Peck went to serve the writ he found the house all locked up. He re- turned to the court room without the prisoner, having been informed by neigh bors of Bulon's that he had escaped. His wife said that was not so but that he had the house locked up and he was in bed. Constable Peck again went to the house and found iE locked, as before, but sum- mary measures were soon resorted to which hustled BuIon out of bed and to the court to answer the charges preferr- l ed against him. In the court room,
 which was crowded, it was a difficult matter to keep Bulon from addressing the audience. Several times he made the at- tempt but Constable Peck ordered him seated, after giving a very polite bow, preparatory to what he had to say. While the witnesses for the prosecution
 were being examined Bulon kept correct
 ing their statements and muttering until
 the justice ordered Peck to take him out
 side. The witnesses were Madame Blu
 lon, his wife, Miss A. Chagnot, his sis
 ter-in-law and Miss Anna Bulon, his
 daughter. The defence had no witnesses
 except Maurice Downey. His honor fin,
 ed him on two counts, drunkenness ano
 assault, 30 days and costs on each, mak ing in all about 100 days in jail. The yer
 dict met with universal approval.

THE DEMOCRATIC CAUCUS.

The Democratic caucus to consider
what changes, if any, shall be made in
the Wilson tariff bill was postponed
until TO-DAY. 1t is the intention of the
majority, if not all of the Democratic
members of the Ways and Means Com
mittee, to attend the caucus, and as
Chairman Wilson was unable to be
present either Wednesday or Yesterday,
it has been decided that tonight is the
earliest date on which it can be salts
factorily held.
Mr.. Wheeler, of Alabama, who is the
moving spirit of the affair, has said
that the caucus would, in his opinion,
be we'll attended. He does not believe
that the caucus will finish its delibera-
tons IN one night. So many questions
are liable to be considered that the
caucus may be extended over several
nights. Mr.. Wheeler says that the rep
resentatives from the coal and iron ore
regions will protest vigorously against
the abolition of the duty on these arti-
Giles, but that they will be amply salts
fled with the duty of forty cents ton.
He thinks, too, that a determined eff
fort will be made to abolish the bounty
on sugar, and fix the duty at from one
half to three-quarters Of a cent pound
on the raw product. The general in
come tax proposition, he says, finds con-
siderable favor with the Democratic
majority of the House, but an impress
sion exists that the deficit in the rev.
enues will be greater than the Ways
and Means Committee anticipate, and
that a larger revenue than is now an
ticipated will be necessary. If that be
true, the difference must be made up
from sugar.
