Chadwick in the Principal of a Public o Ho 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.

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. ham Genet read, and there it le sappeeed 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.

MI lx OF TM . LEGISLATURE Els Honor Lieut, -Governor Rirkpatrio • 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. trim weaMer was rine and the attendance very large, all the galleries being crowded, a large nnmber of epeobators occupying meats on the floor of the Chamber.

Thiemann,attendanb at Mikene'animal chew at the Midwinter Fair. was abbaoked by three lions and so horribly mangled bhab he died lamb night. The evening per• formance had been in pregreem stoat hall an hour and the oiroular incbosure was filed 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 of mina. Finally lanterns were brought, and there in the cage lay Thiemann wish three Ilene Drawing and munohirg his preetrate form. Col. Boone seized an icon bar and entered the nage. With liberate and blows he drove the besets from their prey and dragged the unfortunate man from the cage.. It was an exhibition of bravery seldom peen, and the big crowd cheered the gallant Colonel, Thiemann was taken to the Receiving Here pitel, where hie wenn de, 43 in number, were examined. By one blew from a lion's paw he had been scalped from the forehead to the nape of the neck- Under esob arm there were terrible bites, whore the llone had' at- tempted to reach a vital eget.

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: had seoured in various waya an 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.

The police inquiry revealed the footjbhab several womenclaimed bo be the legeiewife of Dr. Steiner, and itt would seem the Bal. timoren lady was net the fleet Mrs. Steiner either.. Tee etery is told that two years ago Dr. Steiner deserted a Hungarian wife, Mrs. Fiore Steiner, and two children, in New York—he be a native of Hungary htmeelf.„s —after having lived with her for five years. But equally sellcibeus for the return ofo the medical man was Mrs. Carmen Steiner, of Morellia, Brazil, South America, who, ib seems, bad taken up houeekreping with the dootor atter he had left his B.ungarian wife in New York. Mrs. Cecelia Camber', of Balbimere, war, . so far as is known, the third lady to walk be hymen's altar with the deobor. She ib is who, with. her 30 year-old' sen, be now in Toronto gunning for the dletingulebed Aus• Wien. Mise Sophie Bhens, who hasbeen 1vr b i i in create s the dao er wife, is the T a sw g , fourth lady he has been so seriously smitten with as to honor with hie mares. Matters were given a dramatic aspect on Saturday, when Mrs. Steiner Ne. '3, ef' Baltimore, arrived in Toronto on a late train, accompanied by by her eon by her fleets hus- band. SHE CALLED ON WITS NO, 4 at No. 210 Carlton street, where ohe and the doctor had lived for the past few months, , expeoting,to find Dr. Steiner there. She weuld not he satisfied with wife No. 4's assertions that be had gone away, and only began to enmpect tbab all was net right after she had made a personal £napeobien,of the hoose frem cellar be attic. She was then prepared to sympathize with wife No. 4. The Baltimore lady re- lated a most intermitting tale of the dector's • sojourn in the Oyster City. There It seems be had presented letters of introduction from rte German Ambassador at Washing- ton, and he was received it%bhe highest otr-'- files of moiety in that ;city. The lady went en te state, after several other interesting details, that the dootor hadeought her hand iia marriage, and after a brief csurtsbip they were married. As stated befoae, the lady ie Mre. Cella Ceembes, ene of Baitt. mote's richest people. On Saturday, When she palled ab No. 210 • Carlton street, she was dreamed in a mag- nifioent sealskin sacgne, end was Cocom - panted by her son. Mre. Coombes is A HANDSOME WOMAR of nearly 50 yeare, whose flaehing blank eyes would. still play havoo with the heart of any. susceptible man. Her story of the dooter's leave-taking is decidedly interesting. Last August he stated to her the se would like to take a trip to Germany to see relatives. Befo;e doing ro he had reamed • from hie Baltimore wife over $5,000 to defray incidental erpenses, BO she clalme. Nob only his wife's money was taken, bub it is said the Austrian appropriated the watch, diamonds and jewelry beleaging• to - No. 4's sen, who has Deme with hie mother to Toronto. • 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 THE BANK OF HAMILTON, drawn on Hamburg, for amounts between $60,000 and $70,000. Whin he lefh, so it is told, ho took not only hie wife's money and that of his wife's relatives, but appropriate& the preemie of the complete entfir of feral tore, including the piano, wblch had been sent out from Germany to hie Terento wife by her relatives, This property, it le acide the dootor Bent to Baltimore oontigned to an agent and had them there disposed of for hie own benefit. The matter bas been reported bo the Pinkerton Detective Agency and the Ger 'Man Conenl, Mr. Nordheimer, but it la thought bhab the Austrian is in Mexico by this time, and, perhaps, making overtures 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- burg to marry Mies Sophie Behrens, his latest oatob. WORKED THE CHIrSCH. 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 of their resources, and are almeeb in actual want. Miss Behrens and Mrs. Jacobson are beth beautiful semen, and skilled musicians, both bolding diplomas from the Leipefo Conservatory of Mueto. ilhey have been advised to darts classes for music and the study ef, Gomm, and will no doubt main- tain themselves by doing so fer the present.
