MURDER AND SUICIDE.-A terrible
double murder of two children by their
father, who afterward committed sui
eide, occurred at Niobe, OH the north
ern edge of Wood county, w. Va,
Wednesday. The murderer and sui
eide was Floyd Raidabaugh, an indus
trious and well-to-do citizen, who had
always stood well in the community.
Mrs. Raidabaugh left home Wednesday
morning to visit her mother, three
miles away, leaving her husband at
home with the childrn, one eighteen
months and the other three years. AT
ter her departure Raidabaugh took the
two children out to the barn and hang
ed them both to rafters. He then re-
turned to the house and wrote note
10 his wife, telling what he had done
and of his purpose to kill himself and
assigning as reason that his father did
not like him. He left the note on the
table, and returning to the barn hung
himself beside the two children. When
Mrs. Raidabaugh came home she found
the note, and running to the barn found
her husband and children hanging dead
in Il row.

DoINGs IN THE HOUSE.

Washington, March 13.-The house to-
day began the consideration of the bill
making appropriations for the sundry
civil expenses of the government.
Mr. Morse, republican, of Massachu-
setts, moved an amendment to cut off
the appropriation for the interstate
commerce commission
The manner in which portion of the
appropriation for counsel fees was
worded led to a spirited debate, in
which Mr.. Cannon of Illinois, broadly
intimated this appropriation should
have been placed under the direction Of
the commission, instead of the depart
ment of justice as heretofore, because
of the criticism against Attorney Cen
eral Olney that he is in sympathy with
the corporations.
The amendment was finally defeated.
Resolutions calling for information
from the secretary of the navy regard
ing the troubles with Carnegie, Phipps
& Co. in regard to armor plate were
passed

Weapons Into Court.
Washington, March 13.--At the open
ing of court in the Pollard -Brecken-
ridge case this morning Judge Bradley
said he had been credibly informed that
some of the lawyers for the defense
were carrying weapons in court. The
attorneys for Breckenridge entered dis
Chalmers declaring they had no weap-
ons.
During the morning there were no la
dies in the court where the Pollard case
is on, not even Miss Pollard herself ap-
pearing Her attorneys have not yet de-
cided whether the plaintiff will be
placed upon the stand to testify. as she
is in such nervous state they fear she
will not be able to stand the ordeal. The
reading of depositions occupied the
court until the noon adjournment. The
first witness this afternoon was Sister
Cecilia, of the Sisters of Charity of
Cincinnati She said that in 1884 she
had been a sister in charge Of the con-
vent at Norwood, Ohio. There was
nothing startling in her evidence.

| Washington, March 13.-In the senate
consideration of the Bland seigniorage
bill was resumed. Stewart of Nevada
spoke in its support.
The proceedings in the senate today
were uninteresting. The discussion OF
the seigniorage bill was taken up by
Senators Stewart and Lindsay speaking
in favor, while Senator Dolph spoke IN
opposition, holding that its passage
would destroy the existing equality be-
tween gold and silver. Mr., Dolph
thought those who were urging the pas
sage of the bill were doing 50 under
false representations The bill was a
reckless proposition to increase the
coinage of standard silver dollars or of
silver certificates without adequate pro-
vision for redemption, or to maintain
their equality with gold. The bill was
in direct confliction with the declaration
of congress, made when the purches
clause of the Sherman law was repeal
ed, and that it was the policy of the
government to maintain parity of
gold and silver. Mr. Dolph alluded to
the work which he wanted printed in
the record.
Mr.. Harris, of Tennessee, objected to
any book going in the record.
Mr.. Dolph said the work was only a
newspaper clipping, but Mr.. Harris OBJ
jected to even that. Finally Mr.. Dolph
got his way and just began to read,
when the senate adjourned.

She donned the tattered shirt and rag

disguise mingled freely with the high

rislxed her life, but the Chinese never

month ago. Then she was taken sick
with infammatory rheumatism, and last
week her husband left her. Her condi-

the landlady notified the police and her
wasted body was carted away to the
county hospital. At the hospital it Was
said that her condition is probably hope

Associated Press.
London, March 13.-The house of com.
mons has passed Henry Labouchere's
amendment to abolish the house OF
lords by vote of 147 to las, in spite OF
the opposition of the government.
When the figures were announced
they caused an outburst of prolonged
cheering, which was renewed when the
deputy speaker read the address in re-
ply to the queens speech with Labou-
chere's amendment attached to It, The
division on Labouchere's amendment
occurred earlier than was expected, and
many members were absent at dinner.
The majority was composed of T3 Nc
Carthyites and Parnellites, the remain
der being radicals When the division
paper was handed to Labouchere a tre-
mendous cheer broke from the Irish aud
radical benches. The government tell
ers looked pale, especially Chief Whip

A manifesto issued by the National
Reform Union tonight calls for deter
mined efforts to establish the self-gov-
ernment of the British people upon a
truly democratic basis and by the aboll-
tion of the house of lords. Previous to
the vote on the question OF abolishing
the house of lords. after the chief secre-
tary for Ireland, Right Hon. John Nor
ley, had replied to the references of Ba,-
four in the house yesterday. John II.
Redmond, Parnellite leader, said he
sympathized with Mprley's humiliating
position on explaining Lord Roseberys
utterances, and added that he must ex-
press dissatisfaction at the recent dec
larations of the ministers.
Joseph Chamberlain followed he'd
mond. He believed it impossible t. at
Rosebery had accepted the leadership
of the party to betray II. When he
closed, Labouchere moved an amend
ment abolishing the power enjoyed by
persons not elected to pal iliament to
prevent bills from being submitted to
her majesty, and he expressed the hope
that If necessary her majesty, with the
advice of the ministers, would use her
power to secure the passage of this
much-needed reform. lie suggested that
this object could early be achieved by
creating 500 peers who would vote for
the extinction of the house OF lords.
Sir William Harcourt said he could
not understand the process by which
Mr.. Labouchere reckoned to achieve his
object. Labouchere said he had a list
of 500 stalwarts' who were pledged to
vote for the abolition Of the house of
lords If they were sent. The division
on Labouchere's amendment was then
taken, and the cheering when followed
the announcement of the result lasted
fully minute. Some members acted in
a most frantic manner. The result of
the division was a surprise, not only to
the government, but to many 10 who
had voted in favor of the amendment.
Several of the latter avowed their OIL
ject in supporting the amendment mere
ly to give a good division against the
