A Jersey City despatch says ; Hearing in

tiliveroe from Alfred F. Chadwick was oen-
Sinnod yesterday before Vice•Chanoeller

deoame a widower
withal in Pater u
K
about three years
ago,o and,
fenr
rbildren who needed a mother's
care, he
applied to a matrimonial agency in this
city and secured a wife in the person of Mies
Armenia Verbloy, of Ellenv£lle, N. Y., who
alio was a patron of the agency. The couple
discovered an affinity at their very first
meeting, and were married without any un-
al000esary delay.
The wedding took plane on Maroh 24bb,
3292. The bride was dissppointed in him
from the firat, as she beatified ab the pro-
-Acme hearing. Although it was very
embarraesieg, she was forced to give direo•
'bene to the cab -driver as to what hotel
they should ge to. The next morning they
lefb the betel without breakfast and went
to her heeband's home in Paterson, where,
she said, they were received by an eld
woman and four dirty children. The wed-
ding breakfast was ready, bub
THE BRIDE DIDN'T ENJOY IT
It caudated of bread', butter, tea and stewed
prunes. Since then, Mrs. Chadwick said,
she had not seen a happy moment. Her'.
husband treated Ber with cruelty, and after
two years' suffering she decided to apply for
a divorce.
Mr. Chadwick had his turn yesterday.
He is a pale, nervone man, and he told his
story in a tone and manner wbtoh excited
the sympathy sf his bearers. Ha said
" We had no sooner taken up our resi-
dence in Paterson than my wife told me Me
heel been eufferin;{ for three years from
nervous prestratien and indigestion. Ib was
only a day or two after eur marriage that I
had to ge and bay a lob of medicine for her.
13ho said rhe had been in the habit of drink.
Jug 000ea wine, and I bought her a bottle of
that. Sho made fun of my clothing and ei
the house and the way in which it was man-
aged. Her treatment drove me to insanity,.
and en May 10th, atter our marriage, I was
taken to the Morris Plaine Asylum, where I
remained until Jely 19th. After I name
lam* she treated me worse than ever. She
stank me,
POURED WATER OVER ME
and tore my clothes. Sho whipped my boy
Willie because he cried for medicine. I
was completely discouraged, and I told her
to go ,heed. She called . y children pigs,
and called me a hog end •,rate. She maid
she had supported her et for 19 years, and
she'd be damned if see would support me
and my ohildr en.
"One night," the witness continued,
"she followed me from reem to room,
threatening me, and I told her she might as
well kill me as kill my mind. Another
night she jumped suddenly eat of the bed
and attempted to empty a pitcher of cold
water ever me. I jumped out of the ether
nide and she charred me around the bed.
iiihe struck me on the head with ,hairbrush.
!rhea he choked me, tore my night shirt,
and tried to gouge my lett eye out. She
ocratohed my throat and breast and bit me.
"I slapped ber face with the palm of my
Band," Mr. Chadwick continued, "but that
only made her worse. I finally had to Bend
one of the boys down for the landlady and
her husband to dome up and step her.
"When I gave her money to pay a wash-
erweiman she kept the money and did the
washing her.eeif. One day she said she
wanted some mare caeca wine, as
WHISKEY DIDN'T AGREE WITH HER.
One morning I get up to go and shako up
the kitchen fire. WhenI went bank to the
room my wife was dressing horsed. She
began te upbraid me for spending 5 or 10
conts fer oar fare the previous day, and
said she was going away. She maid I
wouldn't find ber there when I returned
from school. I had just given her $51 for
household expenses, and I asked her to give
me back some of ib. I had to keep an
account of every cent I spent and give it to
her. I had given her $800 since I returned
from bhe asylum. Seeing that she was de-
termined to go I bade her good-bye and
wanted to kiss her, bub she wouldn't let
me. I had no idea that she intended to
stay away until I received a letter from
her, in which she said the believed I would
go insane again and she would be blamed
for it. I wrote four lettere to her asking
her to come book."
An Actor's Mistake.
A celebrated French rotor Dame ever to
England ; he had studied our language care-
fully. His friends were a little anxious
about hie powers of aoquiring eur difficult
pronunciation, but he said he felt confident
`.that, well mado•up and by gaslight, his
aooenb would pass muster. But, alas l he
'was overhopoful. The crucial evening ar-
rived, and he wanted, at the meat pathetic
mement of the piny, to exclaim in broken -
vetoed despair, "I shall die! I shall die!
there is peace in the grave" ; but his his-
trionic powers carried him away, and he
forgot his carefully -prepared pronunciation,
and, in heart -broken tones, he sobbed forth:

Al ANARCHIST'S FATE
Disembowelled and Mangled by His
Own Explosives,
A GREENWICH PARK TRAGEDY,.
At the opening of the Chamber of Depu-
ties to -day, Dr. Mario Edouard Valliant, e.
Socialist, mounted the tribune to speak to a
motion made by himself to rectify the min -
aid of the Haueo in the recent Mausolea of
the red flag lnoident at Ivrey cemetery.
Dr. Valliant spoke In a law tone, and the
only parb of his epeacb heard was : " The
red flag Is bhe Soolalieb flag." Oenoluding
bhab the speaker was about to enter inbe a
laudation of the Communes, a majority of
the members Mantel " Enough! Enough 1"
their cries drowning the :voice of Dr. Vall-
iant. M. Dupuy, bhe President of the Cham -
bete ordered Dr. Valliant to demand from
bhe rostrum, e latter paid no bub the atten-
tion
t
tion be lmh' . M. Dupuy thereupon pointed
bo the stele leading from the tribune to the
floor of the House, and in energetic tones,
said : " Descend, Monsieur Valliant,
descend. The words you have uttered shall
net be planed on the minutes of the Cham-
ber." His order to Dr. Valliant was greeted
with appiauee. The latter was evidently
abassied, and at enoe descended from the
tribune. As be was going down the steps
M. Duval Dried to him : " You're the apos-
tle of assaes£ne."
English and French papers found in the
man's pookebe ehowed that he was Martial
Peurdin, a foreign Anarohiet. A peculiar
powder in a package which he had carried
with him was not recognized by the pollee,
and it has been sent to the Government ex-
perts for aralysla. The inquest will be held
probably en Saturday. Q;"
A hurried investigation of Pourdin'e life
in London goer to show that he was a mem-
ber of a dangerous Anarohiet conspiracy,
whose fall details can be known only after
careful pekoe work. He was one of the
foreign refugees, and is believed to have
been in London only a few months. He
and his oel;eaguee frequented bhe neterleue
Autenemio Club in Grafton street, Totten.

they batched the plot which Peurdin was to
help them to execrate by his contem-
plated aob in Greenwich. Deteetivee have
bean watching the olub-house cenetantly
as well as a near -by heu:e in Windmill
street, where many of the .Anarohiet
refugees have lodged. The occupants of
this house have been recently in con-
stant oemmunioabion with Anarohiets en
the Continent. Emile Henry, who threw
the bomb in the cafe ef the Hotel
Terminus, has visited them within
thelaet year, and he £e believed to have ob.
Mined from them the explosives which he
used in his bomb on Monday night.
This afternoon detectives eaw Poardin
and another ledger enter the hoose to.
gather, and came out half an hour later.
The unidentified ledger hurried off alone,
and Penrdtn tock a train for Greenwich.
He carried with him, undoubtedly, the ex-
plosives which caused his death- Peurdin'e
exact intentien of making his trip to Green-
w£oh has not yet been learned. The papers
in his pookebe give no clue to it, though the
first inference was that he intended to blow
up the observatory, but was prevented from
doing so by the premature explosion.
Judge Meyer, the examining Magistrate,
has been questioning Emile Henry all day.
The prisoner refused to reply to the ques-
tion regarding his acquaintances in England,
and declined to give any details of his
sojourn in that country. He also rotated
to tell where he had resided since he came
to Paris. He said : " It is useless for you
to question me. I shall not answer
yen." When he does speak on
any subjeob he expressers himself
calmly, but he bas again reeumed his air of
reticence, and all efforts to worm informa-
tion eub of him have frilled. It has been
learned that he was one of the best pupils
at the Paris College bhab was founded by
and named after Jean Bapbiet Say, the
eminent Frenob economist. He wen soholar-
ehips given by the oiby of Paris. La Patrie
nye that the bomb thrown by Henry was
leaded with nitric acid and ohlorabed
powder, which formed a meet dangerous
combination. Ib was a miracle that bhe
bomb did not explode while Henry was
carrying it.
Benefit of Sunlight.
The renowned Florence Nightingale well
nye, with regard to hospital wards:
" Window blind, can always moderate bhe
light of s light ward; bub the gloom of a
dark ward le irremediable. The escape of
heat from large windows may bo diminished
by doable glass ; for while we can generate
warmth, we cannot generate daylight or the
purifyingand curative effector ef the sun's
rays." hese remarks are no be applioable
to other roams than to hospital wards.
Sunlight le, indeed, the right arm ef
oxygen. There ought not bo b3 a dark
room in any human habitation. To have
boo much sunlight fer health is net pos-
sible. Its extraordinary intenelty under
exceptional circumstances can alwaya be
moderated as occasion may require, but
its plenary reapply ehould always be pro-
vided for. Of artificial light generally, it
may be raid that in all its forme, exoept
that of electricity, insomuch se it le pro-
duced by the combustion of seme compound
of hydrogen and carbon, provieuely volatil-
ized or brought into a gamete condition,
it is more or leer injuriens to the atmos-
phere, by oeumnming the oxygen and emit-
ting mephitic gases.—The Sanitarian.

•
Reads. His Spoech.
TIE SEASON'S WORD FORESHADOWED,
Feb, --The fourth and laeb session of the
eevenbh Parliament of the Legislative As-
sembly of Ontariowast opened ab 3 o'olook
this afternoon by Him Honor Lieutenant
Governor Kirkpatrick. His Honor, who
was accompanied by Commander Law,
Lieut. -Col. Otter and the officers of the
(lateen's Own, Grenadiers and 461h High
handers, arrived promptly at 3 o'clock and
at once proceeded to the Legislative Cham-
bers and delivered
The Speech From the Throne.
Mr, Speaker and gentlemen of the Legisla-
tive Assembly:
,itis with much .ploasnre that I oneo more
meet you, assembled for the despatch of the
business of the Province and the legislation
which thcpublio interests require.
While
in the last ear he rainorop
s
a
nd the
live to k trade have not been as remunerative
as in former years, I am pleased to know that
the products of our dairies are steadily in-
creasing, and by reason of the higher finality
command higher prices than at any tune in
regent years.
Tho numerous agricultural organizations
which are aided by the Legislature have been
increasingly active; the membership of most
of them has largely increased, and the demand
for their reports, published by the Department
of Agriculture, is evidence of the interest taken
in the good work in which these organizations
are engaged. The attendance at the Agri-
cultural College is larger than at any time in
its history ; the accommodation for the regular
,course has been taxed. to its 'detest. The
summer course for teachers prova most suc-
cessful experiment and will be repeated during
the present year. The large number in attend-
ance at the special dairy sohool has fully justi-
fied your,actzon in providing increased accom-
modation'
'l he signal success of the Province ab the
World's Columbian Exposition bas been a
matter of just pride and satisfaction to our
People. By our exhibits of live stook, grain,
fruit, honey cheese, minerals, timber, natural
history and education, we have shown that
Ontario possesses great natural resources, and
in their development has kept paoo with
wealthier and more populous countries.
The lumb , trade continued active, and the
markets good during the early part of last year
andnntil themotetary stringency in the United
States caused much depression in business in
that country. Prices since then have not been
so high, nor the market so active. Notwith-
standing this the receipts from woods and
forests have, l' am pleased to say, more than
equalled the estimated revenue from that
source,
A considerable area of fertile land has now
been surveyed on the shores of Lake Temis-
camingue, is easy of access, and capable of
sustaining a large population. During the
year a Crown land agency has been established
at Haileybury, at the northern end of the lake,
and several townships have been opened for
sale to actual settlers. There is reason to hope
that an important settlement may soon be
formed totake advantage of the great natural
resources of this northern portion of the Pro-
vince.
Satisfactory progress has been made in the
erection of the new buildings at Brookville
intended for the further accommodation of the
steadily increasing number of insane patients,
for whom provision must be made. it is ex-
thpected that before the end of the present year
e main building will be ready for occu-
pation.
The Act passed during thelast session of the
Legislature for the prevention of cruelty to,
and the better protection of, children has been
favorably received, and a gratifying disposi-
tion has boon manifested by the public to take
advantage of its provisions. The rescuing of
children from lives of crime and placing them
in the way of becoming useful and honorable
citizens is a w ork which may well engage the
best consideration and attention of the com-
munity.
Amongst the bills in preparation for your
consideration are :
ABM respecting the representation in the
Provincial AMP embly.
A. Bill making further provision to prevent
the personation of voters.
A Bill for the organization of the judicial
district of Nipissing.
A Bill to further facilitate the administration
of u -tire in certain matters.
Bill respect ng councils of conciliation.
A Bill affecting mining interests.
A Bill respecting the management of Upper
Canada College.
A Bill respecting the law of liboL
A Bill respecting bills of sale.
A Bil respectmg goods entrusted to agents.
A Bill to make Rondeau Point a public park.
The bills to consolidate and . mend the drain-
age laws and the Ditches and Water Courses
Act, prepared by the Commission on the Drain -
ago Lowe• with some changes, will again be
submitted to you.
There having been considerable discussion of
]ate with respect to the mode of remunerating
and appointing certain Provincial officials, and
with respect to the extent of their allowances,
it is my intention to issue a commission -forth-
with to collect thefacts bearing on the various
view which have been expressed on these sub-
jects, including the practice and experience of
other countries, the commissioners to report
thereon with all convenient speed.
The plebiscite upon the question of prohibi-
tion was, in pursuance of the Act of last ses-
sion, duly taken at the recent municipal elec-
tions, and alarge majority prononncedrn favor
o iprobibition. The proceearngs necessary for
obtaining a final and conclusive -judgment
with reaped to the jurisdiction to pass a pro-
hibitory liquor law are being pushed forward
with all practicable diligence.
The public accounts for the past year will be
promptly laid before you, and you will be
pleased o learn from them that the expendi-
ture has been less than was provided for by
the estimates, and that the receipts have ex-
ceeded
xceeded the amount anticipated.
The estimates for the current year will, with-
out delay,be submitted for your approval.
They will be found to have been prepared with
a due regard to economy and the necessities of
the pubho service.
1 feel sure that your deliberations and con-
clusions, while affording proof of your wisdom
and patriotism, will contribute to the con-
tinued development of the resources of our
Province and the prosperity and happiness of
all classes of our people.

KILLED BY LIONS.

ALL LEFT IN THE DARK.

by three lions and so horribly mangled

formance had been in pregreem stoat hall

with people. The wild animas are exhi•
bibed in a large cage in the centre ef the
arena, and ib was time fer the Ilona to go
on. !Wee huge besets were led into bhe
oage by Thiemann preparatory to Boone's
entrance. The animate were named Par.
nail, Romeo and Commodore.
Sadeenly the eleobrio lights went out.
There was a short interval of alma, when
suddenly a shriek of agony came from the
gage. It was followed by the roue of the
enraged Ilooe, the crunching of their terrible
jaws and the groans of theman in the nage.
The large crowd of mpeotaters became
panic-stricken and started for the dome.
Women shrieked and fainted, but the crowd
was finally induced to remain mated by at-
bendants, who had retained their presence

Finally lanterns were brought, and there

Col. Boone seized an icon bar and entered

big crowd cheered the gallant Colonel,

Lab fall, about the beginning of October,
Dr. Jamie Steiner and his wife, a very
ppretty woman, arrived in. Toronto from
Hamburg, Germany, and registered at the
Walker House. - The doober and his bride
were oa their honeymoon, and they were a
very distinguished looking couple, indeed.
Mre. Steiner was 25 or 26 years o d, while
the doctor looked d te have reached the
neighborhood ig borhoed of 65 er 70 years. But he
was a courtly gentlemen, with the carriage
of a prince.
Dr.°Sbeiner brought letters of introduc-
tion from Vienna, London, Berlin and Ham-
burg, in which the information was con-
tained that Dr. Steiner held diplomas from
several of bbo famous hespitale of Vienna
and Berlin..
ENTERTAINED I3Y DR. O'REILLY.
Dr. O'Reilly, of the General Heepital,
took him all over the building, *bowed bine
the various wards., and explained everything
that might be of wards.,
to a man old and
eminent bemedicine, In return, D. Steiner
told the medical superintendent a few of
the fated wrinkles at the hospital of the
European capitals, and they epeeist many
plasma hours together.
Dr. Steiner found hie Hues to have fallen
in pleasant places in Temente, to pieaeant,
indeed, that he decided be settle here—
"live private," so he enneunoed. And were
the moiety people pleased when they heard
the military lookivg medical 'man's
decision ? They were simply oharmed
and the matter was favorably 'cam
emoted upon at many a 5 o'oleok tea..
The dootor did net wish to enjoy himself
here in a selfieh way ; there were hie wlfe'e
relatives in Hamburg, Germany, and he
concluded that a well favored oity like
Tereate whose people knew enough to ap-
preciate a dietingniehed person when they
saw ene, would prove te them as to him the
meet attractive place of abode the earth
offered.
THE DOCTOR'S RELATIVES ARRIVE.
Se be decided to have them "come
over." He wrote to them expatiating en
the joys of an extetence in Teresato, and was
mat but with ene objection—the relatives
were afraid to Drees the Atlantic alone.
Would. bhe doober go after them t No sooner
was the suggestion made than be acted en
it, and along towards Daoember Mr. and
Mrs. Jacobson, of Hamburg, uncle and aunt
of Mre. Steiger, landed in Toronto in
custody of the dootor.
Immediately en the arrival of the Garman
relatives the doctor, who gave himeelf out
bo be very wealthy, made overtures to, Dr.
Emory, of 10 Carlton street, for the -pur-
ohase of . the handsome new building
which bhe latter has emoted next hie
own reeidenoe. The dieb£ngutehed Viennese
visitor prepared bo pay oath for it and make
a palace of ib. The owner was rather im-
pressed with the fereigner's air, military
clothes, Garman decorations and medals
tenured in the Franco-Prussian war, and
was quiet willing to have him for a close
neighbor- Bab, for moms reason or other,
the bargain was nob conolndel, and Dr.
Steiner continued to give
HIB OVINE SUPPERS
and society functions at hie own home, Ne.
210 Carlton street.
In addition to telling interesting tales of
personal wealth to bis society friends, Dr.
Steiner lucldentally menbicned to hie wife
that he owned a lab of property in Beltl-
more, Md. This statement was made
enly week week and was a preliminary
bo his departure. Although the (Into:

amount of money and jewels var£-
onely estimated at from $15,000 to $20,000
from hie relatives and friends --much of 15
in a very irregular way—he bad spent the
greater portion of it in Toronto, and a few
days ago he decided he would have to leave
his comfortable quarters, as, as soon as the
money ran cub, he would be exposed as a
first-class prevaricator to his wife, her rale -
thee and moiety. The eitnation every day
grew mere embarrassing.
But neoereity is the mother of subterfuge.
The Baltimore story was sprung en hie
wife, and intimated to her—showed her how
very necessary it was for bim to dispose ef
the property before finally retelling dawn in
Toronto It would be ro disagreeable you
know to have the worry abenb the distant
lets in Baltimore, and worry was nab con•
ducive to long lifter thorough enjoyment.
However, the doctor finally convinced
Mre. Steiner it was better to disperse of the
Baltimore real estate and hones, and he left
Toronto on Merday last to de se.
THE DESPATCHES.
Two days later the young wife received
a message from Cleveland that her spouse
was snowed up there, and consequently
would not be able to reach Baltimore and
geb through his bnainees as seen as be had
exrsected.
Two days after a esoond despatch was re-
ceived in Toronto 1rem the deobor, and it
was dated " Sb. Lows, Missouri." In it
the medical man told a startling story. Hip
asked for money, said that Rome person bad
got to Baltimore before him and represented
uimeolt as Dr. Steiner and had diapered of
hie (the dootor's) property 1 Taoked on to
this eeneatlenal tale wag a pesboript that
the dootor was en the swindler's trail, and
iveusd undsubtedly ran him to earth very
shortly. In any care he adjured his wife bo'
harry up with the money.
In the meantime, however, before the sen -
rational telegram from St. Louisweereceived,
there had arrived at 210 Caelbod street a
missive -which well nigh broke the hearb of
bhe young wotdan, wile had left her family
and a Wrote of arietoorabio friends in Ham-
burg to share the fortunes of the dirt s-
gubebes'i Austrian. Mho missive wile weighty,
and *hewed conclusively that Dr. Steiner -
HAD ANOTHER WIFE LIVING
when he married Miss Sophie Behrens' at
Hamburg, Getmany.
The missive contained lettere from " Mrs.
Steiner,'' of Bditimere, olairnfng De. Steiner
to her husband, and enolesing her marriage
ooraldeatfe in proof of ber claim, and also a
mew letters from the doctor.
The Toronto wife of the Autibrlan was
appalled ab the news at 8rsb, but, On esoond
bheughts, .he decided to hear Dr. Steiner's
explalnablaen before believing him to be the

Matters were given a dramatic aspect on

Her story of the dooter's leave-taking is

THE LADY FROM BALTIMORE. TALKS.
"I cannot nnderetand 'what made him
leave me,” maid the lady from Baltimore to
hie Toronto wife, "as I never asked him to
do anything to support us, bub treated him
to bhe beat wine that, °onld be procured in
Baltimore, and he made my house inte a
place of entertainment for him."
"It's not the money that 1 care about," -
Mrs. Combos went on to say, "but what
she did object to and the ream o rhe carried
the gun was because of the alleged gross in—
gratitude
gratitude of the distinguished Aunt:nen."
A curious thing about the dootor was that
while he seemed to be 65 or 70 years old,
his age to all his wives was invariably 49.
While in Toronto the dexter was in the
habit of carrying around drafts en

thought bhab the Austrian is in Mexico by

to a black-eyed senorita witn a view to mak-
ing her wife No. 5.
However, a charge of theft has been laid
slimiest the dootor by the eon of Mrs.
Coembee, of Baltimore, who alleges that he,
Dr. Steiner, appropriated his jewelry and
'diamonds when he lelb Baltimore for Ham-

While in Termite the dootor was a means
member of Carlton Street Methodist Church,
where he had been received with the right
hand of fellowship.
The dootor was very partial to high-
priced Finer. There is a pathetic side to
the story. Mies Behrens and her relatives,
Mr. and Mrs. Jacobson, a he were induced
be leave Hamburg and come te Temente
by the doator, have, it is asi4, been stripped
