For about an hour silence reigned. Then this woman again heard Marlene moaning. She knocked on the floor, and it is supposed that the murderer then struck laie victim a third blow which crushed in her right ti. mple. The assassin remained in the apartment until daybreak and searched for the fruits of his crime. As Marielle's jewellery wee not great in value, he did not ,appropriate it, contenting himself with lard cash as a less dangerous booty. He was heard moving about the room at 5 a.m. lit the occupant of the apartment next latarielhas. Mariana was only 23 years of age, very pretty, with naturally golden lair.

He was greatly ,depreasea because he WU to testify to- aay in the case of his son Frederick, who in charged with murdering his brother ilirenry a week ago. Mr. Hale drove home fromPittefield on Saturday after the inquest on the body of hie son. He was much de. ipreesed. Hehad learned that he was liable lobe arrested as an aocassory to the murder. ills daughter Alice tried to console him, bat in vain. He drove borne, nine miles, so rapidly that his horse was made sick and his daughter went two miles to Hinsdale to get needicizej for it. She came beak with chloroform and laudanum. Mr. Hale had Aconite in the House. He gave the horse strong doges of the medicine, but it was of no use, and the horse died. Hale early this morning told his daughter to be ready to go Ito Pittsfield to the trial. He got the oar- aiage out of the barn, bub just before they were ready to start he complainea of being Dr. Comins was sent for and discovered that he was poisoned. He died about 10 teoloels. Medical examiner Paddock, of Pittsfield, found that the stomach of the ilead roan contained chloroform, laudanum and aconite, that the dose would have killed two znen. The daughter said that when her father was iu great pain he mid he had taken his own life rather tban testify egainet his own son. larre.

The writ wee iesued to disposs of the question is to whether the warden of Auburn prison can legally execute Kemoaler, Couneellor Hatch arguing ibat nobody but the sheriff of Erie county can legally put histlient to death. Mr. Coohrane stated that his application was made, not for delay, but in good faith, and, because it was firmly be/laved that a constinithonal provision was infringed; that in order to come to a final and speedy decision of this question, with the consent of the Attorney -General a pro forma order should be granted now overruling his de. murrer and remanding the prisoner, and that an appeal should be taken at once to the general teeth of the Supreme Court, where the order now made should, without argument, be afarmed immediately upon the meeting of that Court in June, end rati appeal from that decision taken at once to the Court of Appeals, where the matter might be argued and finally anided some time in June. The Attorney -General stated that he would interpose no objection to the steps proposed tending to expedite matters. It was then ordered by Judge Underwood, it, 5000rdatte0 with this understanding, that the demurrer to the return be overruled, and the prisoner be remanded to the cus- tody of the warden.

Gosehen's Budget Causes a Somewhat Lively Debate, HE HAS SOMETHING TO LEARN.' A London cable imps ailatirsdayas pro- ceedings in the House of Colnmene were isighly interesting and important. For the moment they have clanged the whole feu of polities, The Government, having introduced a clause into its budget appro- priating the revenue from new taxation to the formation of a fund for the extinction of licienees to public houses, it follows that in some measure they have pledged their very existenee to the success of the enter- prise upon which they have embarked. These clauses in the budget oould not now aeaivithdrawn without a heavy blow being i 'dieted upon the Ministry, and cense. 9 ently the debate on the bat which is to arm the principle of compensation must ere/ with it att issue not originally von - t initiated. Should there by any chance be a4 majority against the bill the budget w uld have to be reconstructed. The pro. pe d extra duty on spirits would fail tlar ugheand the superannuation fund for the lice would have to be provided in some o aertway. Coneidering the agitation which exists in the country on the com- pensation question it can scarcely be doubted that it was somewhat rash to involve the budget in this issue. As matters stand the Unieeist party generally will have to support compen- sation, for the defeat of the Government would necessarily =melon serious results. This woeld not have been the ease if the question had been kept clear of the budget altogether. The Budget Bill proves to be fertile in surprises. On the dame im- mooing increased duty on spirits, Mr. Storey began to discuss the chief objects to which the money was to be devoted. He had not proceeded very far before the chairman ruled that the purposes of the tax could not then be debated. This produced vigor- ous oheers from the Gladstonians. It Was speedily seen that the chairman's decision had landed the committee and Government in a very awkward predicament; for if a totally new principle of taxation was to be introduced without the House of Commons assenting to that principle, a great depar tare from all sound rules and precedent would he established. Sir Vernon Harcourt was enforcing this point, when the Chairman interfered with the explanation that he had not forbidden " allusion to the feat" that the new taxa, - tion was to be applied in a certain way. "Upon this modified ruling, Sir Vernon Harcourt pounced down in a somewbat venomous way. They did not discuss new taxes, he said, by alluding to them. It was somewhat neve to have an allusive discuseion of the budget. It became pretty clear by this time that the Ministry would have to postpone the objectionable clauses. Mr. Gladstone drove all the points home in one of his incisive and masterly little speeches. Here was a new taxation to be Unposed for a totally new purpose. Did the Government mean to say that the House raust vote the money before it had time even to eonsider the method of it3 ap. plication ? Mr. Gosahen attempted an explanation, but of neceseity it fell far short of the requirements of the occasion. The judicious leader of the House rose and coneented to postpone the clauses. The Opposition scored the first victory on the great com- pensation dispute. This will put new life into the agitation, and by next Monday the heather will indeed be on fire. Recovered Part of the Swag. The agents of the Paoifio Express Com. party passed westward on Saturday after finishing up their business in Montreal in connection with the robbery of 637,000 from the express company at Dallas, Tex., by F. A. Walton. About two months ago Walton cleared out with the sum men. Honed and was mattered in New Bruns- wick. He at once gave up all the money he had in his possession, but this was only a small proportion of the total amount stolen. He had left 615,00010 the care of a woman of ill -fame in Kansas City. This has also been' recovered. Some sherpers who relieved the thief of about 610,000 while he was passing through Mon- treal are now being proceeded against on a charge of larceny. It Burned Down.

Dr. W. T. O'Reilly, Inspeeior of Peitione and Publio Oberitiee for Ontario, has given great allentien to this important eabject. He isa man of long experimme aea of proved mbiliby, and any statement he makes is mire to be Accepted as ehe utteranoe of one wleo cen speak with authority, In an interview yesterday afternoon, Br.

With the aselums at London, Hamilton and King- Eatilli the case is elomewhitt different. The institutions there aro all onteide the oor- poration limite, or rather cut of reach of the local fire brigades -that is for iesrae. diate service. The London Asylum is three realm from the oity. The Hamilton Asylum is 01013er than that to the civic) (imam, but it is on the top of a hill. Kingeton is about two miles away from the town. But all of these asylums ere well provided with hydrants, and also with all sorts of fire appliances, and we are always adding to them as we learn about new things and see their applicability. " Take the asylum which I have reoently had cognizance of -the London Asylum. We have there an abundant supply of water and a large steam pump. That pump is there for no other purpose than fire. We have steam alwaye up, and a rani always in attendance. There are plenty of hoses, and they have Imamate on the grounds and a regularly organized fire brigade. For example, the engineer has his gang, and the men know exactly the spot to go to when a fire alarm sounds. The carpenter has his gang, ana the gar- dener has hie, and so with all the heeds of depertmentei each cornmanding his own ;little posse of men.

Then if a bed or any article of farnitrire in a room takes fire, and the heat is sufaoient to raise the temperature to a fixed point, an alarm is given at once.

It is difficult to conceive that the beauti- ful dog Star is a globe much larger than our sun, yet it is a fact that Sirius is a sun many Crass more mighty than our own.

Astronomers agree in fixing the distance of the nearest star at 22,000,000,000,000 miles, and it is certain that the distance of Siring is more than three endless than six times that of Alpha Centauri, most likely about five times; so that we are probably not far from the truth if we set the distance of Sirius at about 100,000,000,000,000 of /kilos What a vast distance is this whioh separates us from that bright star; words and figures of themselves (ail to convey to our mutat' any adequate idea of its true character.

'Ewo Railway Men Hurled to Death by a Boiler Explosion. AWFUL hIGLIT AT' BUFFALO. A laat (Monday) Wealth.

About 2 o'clock this Afternoon Lehigh Valley engine No, 261, George Pearl, engi- neer, and Efenre J. O'Connor, fireman, started for East Buffalo from the yards of the Tifft farm with a string of 27 oars, some of which wore loaded with freight. The train was moving slowly and had mimed the Lake Shore tracks at the Buffalo meek janotion, where the mating signalman wae jut changing the semaphore. The engine at that time had reached that point where the tracks of the Lehigh Valley and Buffalo, Ttochester & Pittelourg intersect eaoli other adjacent to those of the Nickel Plate and the Western New York de Penneylvania, when it exploded. A roar was heard like the disoharge of a battery of lieevy artillery, the earth trem- bled and shook as though seized with the tremor of an earthquake, end the air Was filled with flyieg fragments of iron, steel, brags and timber, accompanied by a cloud of raingled steam and dust. The hearts of people in the vioinity were struck with terror. Eugine No. 261 had disappeared, and all that remained of its ponderous rues of eixty tons of raeolianism were the six driving wheels, the truck and wheels at the forward end and the disabled tender at the rear. The rails were ripped from the ties and bent out of shape, the ground was torn up for some (latent*, and broken telegraph and electric) light wires dangled from their posts a tangled mass. It was an awful scene. Desolation ana ruin had, been wrought in the twinkling of an eye, and two precious lives had been sacrificed like the snuffling of e, candle, for there was no trace of either engineer or fireman. What waa apparently it human body was seen flying through the air at an elevation of perhaps 100 feet, itna descending was ob- served to fell on the line of the Lake Shore Rsilroed at least 1,000 feet to the west of the place where the explosion maimed. Another objeot, baleved to be the body of the other unfortunate man, took a north- easterly course at a high elevation and dropped into elle creek about 400 or 500 feet away. In the Flitch to the west was the shat- tered 25 ton boiler; oia the other side, 100 feet distant, wee the crown sheet, battered and twisted out ol shape, and acmes the adjuent slip the dome and a huge frag- ment of the boiler lay upon the coal damp. ing pier of the Buffalo, Rochester Lk Pitts- burg road, 400 feet, away. In striking it had crashect into the tirabers and sent greet eplintera in ell direotions. A switch shanty elongside the truk was badly wreaked. As soon as the train hands and others had recovered Prom the shock, a search for the missing engineer and fireman was begun. The body of Pearl was found in creek. It wax brought to the surface by a young man named Daniel Murphy, and with the Ossietanoe of Patrolman Wheeler, of the ninth preainct, and Dillon, of the seventh, who had arrived upon the scene of the accident, tbe mangled °wpm was hoisted to the coal dook before mentioned. Its condition was shocking. Apparently every bone was broken, the head aria face were frightfully mutilated, as was also the trunk, neerly the entire abdomen being torn away. O'Conecees body was found between the gnarled stumps of two trees alongside the Lake Shore tracks, where it had been aeon to faii. The head was crushed, the face dis- figured beyond recognition, and in the left side was a great gaping hole. The man's shoes had been wrenched from his feet and carried no one could say where, and his ger- meets, like those or Pearl, were reduced to mere shreds. The legs and arms were apparently fractured. The contpanions of the dead man shud- dered as they looked for a moment upon his gashed and bleeding corpse, and it was revereetly covered yank a coat to await the arrival of a coroner. -Laos is seen on jacket sleeves.
