Drowned in Two Inches of Water.

An extraordinary fatality was de scribed at an inquest held at Lewis. ham, London, recently. on the body of Ernest William Donoghue, an infant, eight months old. The mother of the child said that she left him sitting in a chair in front of a bread pan which was used as a bath, and in which there were two inches of wa. ter. When she returned she found the child head downward in the pan with the chair on top of him, and he was evidently dead. Medical evidence showed that death was due to drown ing The doctor said that he had found crust of bread in the pan. and evidently the child had leaned for. ward in an attempt to reach it. and in so doing had overbalanced.

 Justice Grammar saidl
 "Senator Stone, have travelled a great deal in my time. I can fully ap- preciate the treatment that you re- ceiyed at the hand of Brown, who 1t has been shown was discourteous in the extreme. I feel that you had sufficient provocation and that you were absolutely justified in reprimand- ing and striking Brown. l dismiss you"
 The crowd applauded until the mag isirate rapped sharply for order
 Senator Stone was surrounded by congratulating friends among them be- ing Murray vandlver, the treasurer Of Maryland and others prominent politi- cally here.
 The case which brought to the bar of the central station perhaps It's most distinguished prisoner, grew out of en incident of the trip af Senator Stone from Philadelphia to Washing ton and which was interrupted at Union station this city when police man of the Pennsylvania railroad en- tered his car. and placing him under arrest, sent him 10 the station house in the patrol wagon accompanied by Brown. who charged the senator with having assaulted him.
 Senator Stone and his counsel took their places in the ordinary prisoners dock when the case was called.
 At this point an attorney for the Pennsylvania railroad and the Pull man company requested that the case be dismissed. saying that neither Of the companies he represented desired to press the charge Brown being ,ae complainant. was asked by the magis- strate whether he desired to prosecute the case and he replied:

 Spanish Frontier r)-Spanish couriers arriving here report that artillery is battering the barricades behind which the insurgents are desperately fight ing in Barcelona.
 The streets of the city are barri- caded with huge piles of stone and earth. Furniture and blanks are heaped in these barricades to the height of the first story. The arrival of re-enforcements so urgently needed by the government is retarded by the destruction of railroads and avenues of communication leading to the city. The reyolutionists are armed with muskets, knives and revolvers. They have an effective organization and hos pital equipment.
 Heavy fighting is now in progress on the Rambla, in San Anne Square. and the Calle Del Epino. The number of dead and wounded cannot be esti- mated.
 Five convents and several private residences have been burned at Llanza. The government is seeking to re- lieye the city by sea, now that the land communication for the troops is inter rupted All available ships are being hurried to Barcelona
 Whether there Is an ulterior political purpose behind the revolutionary up- rising throughout Catalonia is not yet clear.
 The military governor of Barcelona to-day published decree ordering the inhabitants of the city to return to their homes. After 24 hours any one found in the streets is liable to be shot on sight.
