M'DAVITT CONVICTED.

James McDaVitt, a cab driver. vino
was employed last winter by James
Nealis, was tried before Judge Edwa rds
for negligence by bailee and embezzle-
mcnt. The negligence by bailee con-
sisted of badly damaging a cab he was
driving on Feb. and the embezzle-
ment OF retaining fare of S5 paid to
him for Mr.. Nealis.
The judge took the case Of negligence
by bailee from the jury for the reason
that the act provides for the punish
ment of persons who hire a convey
ance and damage ii but does not say
anything about punishment of en-
ployes. McDavitts defense of the en-
bezzlement charge was that the horse
attached to the cab ran away and he
was thrown to the street and lost SO
which belonged to his employer and
which he had received from a GUS
toner. He denied that the sum was
IS. The jury found him guilty, but
recommended him to mercy.

Brussels. July 3.-At a meeting of the
factions of the Lefts ii the chamber, 2
resolution in favor of the withdrawal
of the electoral bill and urging disso-
tuition inst sad of referendum was
adopted.
The excitement among politicians
continues though further outbreaks aye
improba BILE until the governments pro
posals are submitted to the Chamber.
Tuesday, when if satisfactory a rerma-
rent compromise may be effected.
otherwise the Socialists threaten eX-
tremes even revolution. The bills sat
isfieS only the Clericais and there is n
strong feeling that new elections ought
to be held before any change is effect
ed in the way of redistribution Of
votes or seats.
If the government does not withdraw
the electoral bill. Tuesday. or introduce
a bill providing for universal suffrage,
the working classes promise to precipi
tate matters by a general strike
throughout the country. The govern
ment is between the devil and the
deep sea. If they oppose universal
suffrage they are threatened with a
revolution which may sweep away the
monarchy. on the other hand univcr-
sal suffrage is likely to result in the
return of such Il large Socialist and
Republican majority in the Chahber
that the monarchy Will be equally
threatened.
