lie Cnuid DO Much Good.

London. Feb. E.-The Duke OF Devon
shire, lord president OF the council, In un-
yelling the statue erected In the central
hall OF parliament to the memory OF the

that MFR. Bright was as much honored and
respected by the people on the other side
OF the Atlantic as In our own country"
In conclusion. the Duke of Devonshire la
mented that at the present time there was
no influence so potent for the preservation
of the friendship between Great Britain
and the United States as that of Mr..
Bright would have been.

THE CASTLES.

Mrs. Castle Found Guilty and Sentenced
 to Three Months Imprisonment.
 London. Nov. 6.-Mrs. Castle appeared in court attended by two female nurses and her husband. Upon the reading of the charge MT Castle stood boldly up- right and answered not guilty to each of the seven counts. On behalf or Mrs. Castle Sir Edward Clarke said that she pleaded guilty to each charge and pro- ceeded to give the reasons for making such a plea.
 While Sir Edward Clarke was speaking Mrs. Castle remained seated. She was dressed in black and kept her face cov- cred with a handkerchief. While the jury were being sworn in the silence was broken only by Mrs. Castles sobbing.
 When the first charge was read, that of stealing a sable tie worth pounds ster- ling 9, and a skin worth shillings. MT. Avory, for the prosecution said: Sub ject to any opinion which your lordship may express, it appears to me that MT. Castle was not a. party to the thefts and therefore, the prosecution will not offer any evidence against MT Castle. While the case was in the police court and both prisoners were denying guilt 1t was inn possible for the prosecution 10 take take 1nls tlns, guilt, it was possible that the husband had taken the things
 The chairman replied: 'I have read the depositions carefully and have ar rived at the same conclusions. There IS nothing in evidence that has impeached inc innocence of MT. Castle and entirely approve the course you have taken in the matter"
 MT. Ayory, upon receiving the reply of the chairman, announced formally that the prosecution would not offer any evil dence against MT. Castle. The chairman hn there is no evidence to support the in- dictment against the defendant. Walter M. Castle. 1t Is your duty to render yer dict of not guilty"
 The jury respjonding with verdict of not guilty, MT. Castle was immediately discharged and upon the application of Sir Edward Clarke to the court Mrs. Cas- tie was allowed to leave the court room attended by her nurses.
 Sir Frank Lockwood then began his opening for the defense, dilating in the course of his address, upon the terrible position of Mrs. Castle, who had hitherto been a reputable woman uoccupying a high social position.
 MT. Avory replied, giving the details of the evidence as taken in the police court in regard to the searching of Mrs. Cas- ties trunks in which a museum of articles was found, many of them still having their sale tickets attached In not a single instance, he said, was Mrs. Castle detected in taking anything. so that she must have done her work so skilfully that even her husband who was beside her was unable to see what she was doing.
 Sir Edward Clarke, o. C., for the de- fense said that In view of the cruelty to which Mrs. Castle would have been sub jected in having the facts discussed be- fore her, he had advised the lady to plead guilty. She was not In want Of money and the insanity of her proceed ings was proved in the fact of her hand ing a piece of fur with the sale ticket at- tached, showing the name of the owner.

The schooner carried a crew of nine and fourteen passengers, five of whom were women. The schooner had her lights dis played, and there was no Justification on the steamers part for the collision, be- cause the night was clear and the schoon- CT quite near the shore in a part of the entrance where steamers rarely go. The schooner was struck midship, cut in two pieces and sank instantly. All aboard were on deck.

 The accident happened within half mile of the town. The steamer lay to while she sent boat ashore to land the survivors, and then continued her voy- age.

Huntington, W. Va, Nov. 6.-J. H. Clark, a famous detective and deputy sheriff of the Norfolk and Western, ac- companied by Daniel Ryland, arrived here at daybreak with Capt.

They are charged with the murder of John Rutherford, Elliott Roth erford and Hand Chambers on election day at Mattewan.
 Hatfield and his son were interviewed in the jail today and they seem to be not the least worried over the affair. The lad smiled and said: 'I killed both FL liott Rutherford and MT Chambers, while the father acknowledged killing John Rotherford. Hatfield and son were asleep in the crevice of a large rock cliff on Tug river when the officers discov- cred them. They were brought here and placed in jail for fear of mob vio- lence. Hatfield had two Winchesters and two large revolvers, while the son was sleeping with a Winchester on each side of him. Thousands of persons were at the jail this morning trying to get a peep at the notorious outlaws.

RED-HOT SESSION.
Directors of the British South Africa
 Company Quarrel In Meeting.

Directors of the British South Africa
 Company Quarrel In Meeting
 London, Nov 6-An exciting and ex- tremely uproarious meeting of the direct ors and shareholders of the British South Africa company was held in London this afternoon, the Duke of Abercorn presid- ing. The Duke of Fife, Lord Clifford and Sir Horace Farquhar were among those in attendance. The shareholders rejected a scheme Formulated by the directors TOT an underwriting of new shares. ana the result of the vote caused great eXclte- ment.
 The Duke of Abercorn was eheered as he arose to address the meeting from the chair The outbreak of the native Tn Rhodesia, he said. had been unforeseen and had cost heavily, exhausting the tuna of f500, 900 in cash which the British South Africa company had on hand last fep- ruary The outbreak had been quelled, however, the rinderpest, which mas worked great havoc in the company's ter ritory, was abating and the general out look had encouraged the directors to bring forward the proposed increase oep nae 3l sr the company's capital by fl,O00,O0O m shares of fl each The duke said he could not discuss the Jameson raid or the reslg- nation of MT. Cecil Rhodes and Alfred Belt from the directory of the company until after a parliamentary committee ndQ I0dut all 1Hquliy iA'o stiC which had occurred in South Africa al- fecting the company.
 The motion to increase the capital or the company was seconded by the Duke of Fife
 Shareholder Deopass protested against the proposed increase, but the Duke or Abercorn nevertheless declared, amid great confusion, that the increase had been carried. The duke then moved that the meeting approve the arrangements which had been made by the directors to underwrite fS0o,0 ,0OO of those new shares.
 The motion was received with shouts of dissent, and MT. Depass moved that the meeting give a direct negative to the underwriting proposal. MT. Depass' mo- tion was carried by a large majority. When the motion offered by the Duke of Abercorn was lost, the duke said; 'sThen I rely upon you to take up the shares" The uproar was renewed, and several shareholders shouted: Are the new shares intended to pay Krugers indem- nity?"
 Finally it was decided that the new shares should be issued without under writing, the directors saying that they counted upon the shareholders subscrib- ing the money
