PROPOSED UNION OF THE TWO PARTIES

operation with Liberal Usionists.

LONDON. March 7--Joseph Chamber
lain, leader Of the Liberal-Unionists in
the House Of Commons. addressed
meeting Of his constitutuents In Biz
mingham this evening. He praised Glad
stone for his energy and courtesy In
public life. and spoke I'm the warmest
terms OF his eloquence and keenness In
debate. None OF the old Premier's men
tai powers. he said. had shown signs ot
decay, and his retirement could only be
deplored by political friends and foes
alike.
No Reason for Retirement.
For this retirement there was no more
reason now apparent than there had been
at any time i'm the last ten years. MIR.
Chamberlain said he had been asked re
peatedly i'm the last few days whether
the Liberal Unionists were likely to be-
come again o part OF the great Liberal
| party. This question he was unable 80
| answer. He had noticed widespread
impression that Lord Rosebery, az Pre-
mier. was likely to reverse Gladstone's
policy. notably as regarded homo rule
| for Ireland IL certainly WAS curious that
the Liberal party. after their great strug-
| gle Tor nome rule, Should now Accept a
leader who was known 10 be lukewarm
| in the Irish cause and reject one who was
as Jealous for separation.
Fsthomless Uncertainties.
There were many incalcuiabie elements
in the present political situation. The
uncertainty could not be fathomed for
some time and the parties must wait
and watch. The Liberal-UuioniSs must
observe the course OF events without
disbandng their forces. Personally he
feared that the policy OF the Liberal
party would remain Unchanged; that
home rule would still be part or the
Liberal programme. and that consequent
" he and his colleagues must continue
their strenuous opposition to the dov-
| ernment.

Dramatic Scenes Attending the

Says She Is Prosecuted.

SPOKANE, Oct. 22.-Correspondence-
Helen Grier. convicted of numbering
her sixth husband, was taken into the
presence of Judge Buck yesterday
morning to receive her sentence.
''Have you anything TO say why the
sentence of the law should not be pro-
bounced by the court?" the judge in
ouired.
"As sure as there is God in heav-
en-" she replied, III never poisoned
my husband. l did not have a fair
trial. The jury was prejudiced against
me and my two daughters swore
falsely. This is the fifth time they
have tried 10 take my life. My hus-
band was not in his right mind for a
long time. Several times he got re-
volver to kill himself. 1t would be an
outrage 10 punish an old woman for
crime she is not guilty of"
Tears trick led down the furroWed
cEeeks and there was . CLEAN in the
prisoners eye, not dscoverable during
the trial This was the first time that
she manifested a spirit of vindictive-
ness or resentment.
The court sentenced her to 10 years
in the penitentiarv.
On the way back to the Jail she met
her daughter, Florence Shirley, who
was the principal witness for the state.
For an instant she shrunk back and
chung to the arm of the deputy sheriff
for support. Then, rallying all her
strength, she extended her long, knotty
index finger until it almost touched
the breast of her accuser, and Missed
through her teeth, clenched as if with
lockjaw:
You hussy! You strumpetl You
vile, dirty wretch! You and your sister
both perjured your souls. Go and con
fess to the judge aud set your old
mother free. She has one foot already
in the grave and the other ready to
follow. Ain't you proud of your
work?"
The deputy urged his prisoner on
ward, and without uttering a word in
reply to the abusive TRADE. Mrs. Shir-
ley turned away and the heavy iron
doors again closed behind the wretched
old woman, who is manifestly doomed,
whether guilty or not, to end her
strange career in prison cells, although
her counsel ia considering an appeal 10

AGAINST THE RAILROAD.
Suit OF Archie Beaton Decided by the
Court of Appeals.

Suit or Archie BeatOn Decided by the
Court of Appeals.
SAN Francisco, Oct. 23.-Several lmpor-
tant decisions were rendered by the United
States court of appeals today.
In the case OF Archie Beaton VS.. the
Northern Pacific Railroad Company, APP
peaed from the circuit court of Montana,
judgment in favor of plaintiff was affirmed.
Beaton was foreman of gang of bridge
carpenters in the employ OF the company.
On the 2lst Of October, 1891, he boardeI
the train at Garrison, Mont. to go to a
bridge six miles distant He rode on the
treman's seat on the engine by permission
of the engineer.
A large derrick was loaded on a fiat car
which was pushed by the engine. The
arm of the derrick was so high that it could
not pass through the tunnel, and the result
was that when it struck the top of the
tunnel it was forced back. injurlng the roof
of the cab and seriously injuring Beaton.
The company claimed the accident was the
result OF his own carelessness, as he had
no right to ride in the engine. The court
holds that lie was within control OF the en-
gneer in whose department he was, and
therefore the company was responsible
tor the accident.
