ease they could have come to no other con.
elusion. They appended to their verdict a
strong recommendation to the mercy of
the court. Being asked upon what they
based that reoommendation, they pointed
to your relationwith the deceased prior to

were not in your favor, because there had

and you bad used insulting Ian.
guage to him the night before,
so that there was some evidence upon
which the jury might have come to the
conclusion that there was in your mind
malice and ilbwill sgainst the deceased.
"With reference to the merits of the quarrel
I have nothing to do. It may have been
that you had cause to complain. There
was mmething Bald in the evidence about
Ilia having oiroulatted etoriea about you or
/our wife ; but the fad remains that, as
tar as that day wee concerned, you were
the insulter and the aggressor. You used
abusive language to him. Yon attempted
to drive over him or drive him into the

driving in an ineulting and aggressive
method, in such a way rut tO either force
him into the ditch or make him step in to
prevent his being ran over. But there
were circumstances in your favor, and if
they had not been proved to the satisfac-
tion of the jury the result might have
been your conviction of the higher crime.
Those were (1) that the deemed did

your wife. It is true he did so after she

proved that he dinso and that he pushed or

took a club, before you had a weapon in
your heeds, and that when he hen an op-
votinnity of retiring he came back to re-
new the fight, calling on the boy to bring
Ike axe. All those circumstances fully
justified the jury in coming to the
nonclusion which they did. But

insult and to assault, end I oannot treat it
lightly. I cannot overlook the fact that

members of the ecoiety were forced to pro-
vide money, food and clothing for the chief

own bedding. Refractory members were
tbreehed by comrades chosen by ballot.
Altogether a terrible system of extortion
and intimidation was revealed. The call-

caved with& death -like silence, but during
the examination the prisoners hurled such
epithets as " assassin," "liar " and
rascal" at the informers, who proterited

A London cable says: Friends of Earl
Kimberley, Earl Spencer and Earl Roth-
bery are urgently pressing the respective
claims of these peen to the leadership of
the Liberals in the House of Lords, which
position was made veosnt by the death of
Earl Granville. Lord Rosebery has said
that he is not a oandidete for the honor,
the fad that he is still in mourning for his
wife preventing him from accepting it. He
will probably make a tour of the British
Empire before re-entering politics. Mr.
Gladstone has expressed himself as favor-
ing the leadership of Earl Spencer, but
depreeetes any outside meddling with the
free action of the Liberal peers in the
matter.

ministry of the Evangelical Church of
North A.merios by the Iowa Conference,

Chicago. Seven other ministers wore
allowed to leave the conference nnder
oberges. They will be forted to go onteide
of Iowa to get pastorates, for the churches
in this State are under the control of the
loyal friction, headed by Bishops Thomas,
Bowman and Esher. Bishop Bowman is
presiding over the preaent conference.
The conference adopted resolutions con-
demning Dubs as an aroh.traitor ann

TEN WEBB ICILLBIL
A Frightful Colliery Explosion in Staf-
fordshire.
ONLY TWO MEN ESCIAPED.
A London cable says: A terrible explo.
don took place about 9,45 o'clock last night
at the Gladderhill Mine, beloneiog to the
Midlanit Coal, Coke it Iron Company, at
Chesterton. The distatrous detractor of
the explosion may be judged by the fed
that out of twelve men in the workings at
the time only two have escaped with their
lives, The Gladderhill pit ie an old mine,
one or two of Use name of which are
worked out. The explosion iteelf occurred
in the lowest Kam, viz., the Bullhurst.
This seam is of an exceedingly fiery lettere,
end most of the greet explooione •which
have einem), place in, North Staffordshire
have originated in this particular
stratuna. The mine is conneeted with the
famous Burley Pit, where many throes
explosione have taken place in years gone
by. The mouth of the latter mine is only
ebout 100 yards away and on the ewe
embenknient. Work at the Gladderhill
Pit, as in many other pits throughout
North Staffordshire, has been very steak.
Had the disaster tmourred when work was
in full swing Vac death -roll would in all
probability have been very heavy indeed.
In ordinary times fully 250 men are
engaged 'beneath the ended) in coal getting
and the necessary collateral labor. Very
few men were %bent thet colliery. It
appears the scene `of the exploeion is in the
top heading, and in a down thirling, which
is about four yards down. This tbirling
was being driven down by a men named
Sampson Knight, who, it appears, bed done
his matting, and it is thought his shot mast
have caused the explosion. The shot hed
'sot got the coal, hut it blew out tlae
ramming. The fireman, Warburton, was
found with a (mil of fuse in his hend. All
the pereone killed would have been out of
the pit in a very few minutes, as some had
done, and were already dressed. The
number killed is ten.
LABOR TROUnLES ENGLAND.
Strikers Compelled to Retreat Before
Bayonets and Batons.
A London cable says: Ten thousand of
the strikiog weevers at Bradford assembled
there to -day for the purpose of protesting
againat the action of the natinicipel author-
ities in forbidding the meeting which the
strikers had arranged for yeeterday. The
police tried to, disperse the gathering, but
their repeated charges onninn crowd proven
futile. Finally the authorities determined
to take decisive melon, and after the strik-
ers had for the last time been ordered to
disperse and had refused the Riot Act was
read and the military were eummoned.
The soldiers joined the police and a
combined charge was made upon the strik-
ers. A fierce struggle ensued, but the
strikers were compelled to retreat before
the bayonets and batons. The police used
their batons freely and many strikers were
injured. Several of the police were &leo
hurt. The authorities arrested seven ring-
leaders. It is probable the etrikers
attempt to hold another meeting tomorrow,
and that the scenes witnessed to.day will
be renewed.

She has been suffering great enxietv on

the neighboring town of Ramsey, and on

tion committed a serions asesult on a

tary, a number containing applications for

Walter had been sent out as a missionary
to Japan and wrote regarding his work.
The Northwest bishops now visiting thie
section were inetruoted to furnish a report
