Brantford despatch seys : At the Itrantford Assizes to -day a trial of a highly sensational °tweeter has been progressing, and ono which has OAITSed the court -room to be densely crowded with all classes and, eanditions of citizens.

Mrs. -Quick eratered the box and related her married experience, which she said bad been pleasant, barring an intereal of two years, whenher husband, becoming charmed with a Mrs. Skinner, of Grand Rapids, a• deed of separation had been arranged, but in later .years he had returned, been forgiven, and their happy home was a emend time the scene of discord,all because, as she said, "that woman," pointing to Mrs. Church, had by her persuasive and winning ways stolen her breadwinner from her and he was now in Green Bay, Wisconsin, acting as manager of a hotel, of which Mrs. Church is proprietor. One of the witnssses spoke of her as lady, but, im- mediately correcting herself, pointecl to her as "that woman." She related having quietly searched her husband's pooketi while he was soundly Sleeping, and beingre- warded for her trouble by finding a lettenas ehe supposed from "that woman," com- mencing My own darling,» suggesting a meeting where the "berry bushes grow," and lamenting that "the time was far away when she could call him her really own.'

Years flew by, Mrs. Churoh became a widow, discord and family jars continued in the Quick household, and finally on 418 pleasant autumn day she discovered that the bird had flown. He left her alibis property, but very little was saved after paying debts. Determined to eee for herself, she visited Mrs. Church's hotel at Green • Bay, and there she found her husband act- ing as manager and bartender. He was sur- prised. Mrs. Church heard of her arrival, and in a few minutes the parlor of the St. James was the loce.tion of 8,-" scene." Get- ting very little comtorb there • she returned to Woodstock, and is now endeavoring to •replace the husband's place as a helpmate with some of Mrs. Church's solid cash, of which, it is said, she possesses plenty. Mr. McCarthy-, Q C., extimg for the de- fence, subjected. Mrs. Quick to a moat searching examination, but the frail little lady exhibited a mind of her own, and did • mot get very much mixed. She said, "1 nuty have been puevish and fretful, but I -wasn't so bad that Joe should have gone . and left me." For the defence Mr. McCarthy placed Mrs. Church in the box, and she denied the whole story, and stated that Quick had only witited her house near Woodstock when re- quested oy her husband to mend furniture or dx the piano or organ.' She had had, no intimacy with him, and had not endeavored to steal him away or secure his affeobions. After her husbarede death she determined to locate in Green Bay, and when out there purobseed a hotel. While on the street in Green Bay she met Qaick, who asked her if eine would give him a job if she concluded the purchase. She said she would. The promise was afterwards fulfilled, and Quick was now her manager. No improper rela- flows ever exhiated between them. She had living with her several of her grown-up • children. She WeS 42 years of age ; had had n children and • but aim was dead. Con- fronted with the letter found by Mrs. Quick, iglu' denied having wsittera it or knowirag anything about it. Mr. P'ullertou urged her to sit down and copy ib off, but she refused, and Mr Justice Street said he did not know how he could inake her do it., She positively refused, saying, '1 don't think it neceasary." She also said she could aot write further than to ,sign her name.

Tho jury, after an hour's deliberation, returned with a verdict it favor of the plaintiff for $4,500 damages. It is under- stood the defence will at once appeal to the higher court. Tad =len ant- e demon Was a Most eneeessfui hontidenee London cable says There can be no doubts that Thomas Beach, alias Henri Le Caron, is a men who in his time has played many parts, and some of them are not precisely those which amen with a high ideal of life would be anxious to fill. He acted as a spy for the British Government for e considerabha number ofyears and although that may at timee be a useal and neee.ssary function, yet most people would prefer not to take it upon themselves. • The special object for whioh Le Caron was employed was to keep a watch upon the Irish organizations whit% were "at war" with England, and it mustbeadrnitted that he carried out his share of the contract with a remarkable degree of euccess. He not only became a "head centre" of the Fenian organization, but he was made chief organ- izer of the "Irish Republican Army," and nobody from first to last had the least suspicion of his true character. He took in the sharpest and shrewdest members of the Irish Brotherhood, from Mr. Alexander Sullivan to Mr. Micheal Devitt. He heard all their seorets, was a party to their plans, and regularly commu- nicated his information to the British authorities. It seems inaredible that as man 'after man with whom he associated was betrayed, the treaohery was never traced to Le Caron. Dr. Gallagher, the dynamitard, expsained to him the movement by w proposed to scatter terror land.. Gallagher went over in command of eeven members of the " Clanaaa-Gael," and before two months had past he and three of his associates had been seized, tried and sentenced to period servitude for life. But the hand that pulled the wires was still invisible. Once only Le Caron was charged with "auspicious acts," but he very soon turned the tables on his Accusers, and found him- self deemed worthy to receive the confidence even of the late Mr. Parnell. It has been said that whenever three Irishmen are banded together in a con- spiracy one is sure to turn out a traitor. Bus La Caron was an Englishman, who had lived long in Paris and assumed a French name, under which he served in the United States army during the war of the rebellion. His story was first told in full before the Parnell Commission in London. So far he has managed to elude the sreageance of his old frienda—and dupes. GOT 8200 EDON( BID. A Man Proposes marriage to we Temporary Housekeeper. A Peterborough despatch says: An action for breach of promise of marriage was next proceeded with. Miss Etue Wright, a young lady of 22 years, daughter of a farmer of Darlington, near Pontypool, brought the action against Samuel W. Lowry, weaver, of Peterborough. The young lady came here to learn dressmaking, and in January went to the defendant's house to hoard. She was housekeeper for a couple of weeks -while the regular house- keeper was absent. Shortly afterwards he proposed to her, and a week later she ac- cepted. • He fixed the wedding day for the first Wednesday in May,and she went home to prepare for the marriage. When she re- turned to Peterborough the defendant had married another girt The jury were only out a short time when they returned with a verdict of $200 for the plaintiff, and judgment was entered with full costs. Mr, Hampden Burnham for the plaintiff; Mn C. W. Sewers for the defendant. The verdict had the effect of throwing the' de- fendant into a state of unreasonable excite- ment. He threatened the plaintiff's counsel and the young lady, Miss Wright ; and cought to •buy or borrow a revolver with which to carry out his threats. He was taken in charge by his friends. BIRDIE GOT BIER REVOLVES, But It Didn't Prevent the Exposure of Her Busband as a Spiritualistic Fraud. A Detroit, Mich., despatch says: Dr. Frederick W. Courtney came here from San. Francisco three months ago with his wife arid set up as a spiritualistic medium on one of the feshioneble .streets. Converts to spiritualism were made rapidly. Seddom lees than twenty attended the nightly seances, and his income from private stances was large. Witham Cox, a muscular employee in the City Hall, attended several seances and thought, that he recognized Courtney's eyes in the ghostlyfigure that itisued from the cabinet, &seining to be George Washington. Laet night when the spirit of his great great-grenrifether appeared Cost jumped over the front eirole and grablead the figure It was Courtney,of course, and he made a desperate but silent struggle. He was helptees in the arms of Cox, who called loudly ou the others to turn up the light Jest as that was done Courtney spoke for the first time. He cried : "Birdie! Birdie ! quick !" Birdie was Mrs, Courtney. She rushed into the room, whippo d out vetoer and was on the poom of thooting Cox in tho head when 41 ti waa seized and disarmed.

The Number of Killed Now Said • to bo Teo, SOME OF TEEM ROASTEIOLIVE, The Marquis of Huntley and the Ilarquis of Tweeddale on the Train, A London cable as s : The railway offi. claim state that nine inetead of twenty persons were killed in the accident near 'China, in Yorlieture, yesterday. The etendeut is etsid to have been due to a dense fog, Which prevented the engineer of the express train from •seeing ahesel of him for any distance. The express was crowded with pairsengere returning from the Highlands of Scotland, from Dundee and Edinburgh, Among the paseengers were the Merquis of liuntly and the Marquis of Temeddate. Gen. Lasnbtn and Mr. Kynoch, a rail way director, were also iu the Pullman coach. Lady Stewart was in another car nage. • All got a severe shelting up. The Marquis seed that everything possible seemed to have been done to help the waterers. He understood the accident was due to a signal man being asleep. As soon as possible the woutided were taken to North Allerton. The 111arquia of Tsveed- dale with the Marquis of Huntly and a number of others paseengers, came from the wreck on a special trails. The Marquis of Bundy got off the brain at Peterboroa He seems to feel more keenly than the others the effecte of the shock. Among the dead is Capt. Duncan McLeod, of the 42nd High- landers. , The tender of the express train has not been lifted from the mass of wreckage. It is suspected that when it is removed several bodies will be found. . Signalman Holmes, who is held responsible for the disaster, shows eigns of mental de- rangement. Holmes hedpessed Tuesday nigh t at the bedside of his dying child. • After the death of the child he asked the station master for leave of absence, but the request was refused, and he was compelled to take his place at the signals. Physically worn out by the fatigue of his sick -bed vigils and tired mentally, he fell asleep, and thus pre- cipitated the wreck. The accident gives special interest to the evidence of the withering now testifying as to railway management before the Royal Labor Commission. The men assert that they are overworked, while the railway officials testify that it is impossible to work the traffic of their lines in a fixed day of ten hears. The Marquis of Tweeddale said that at the time of the emoident the express train was travelling at the rate of 60 miles an hour. The goods train, into which the express ran, was loaded with iron. The former train was making slow time. If it had been stationary the result of the col- lision, in view of the enormous weight and power of resistance, would have been far more :serious. The shook was severe, smash- ing the engine and tender of the express train, and the carriage next to them, but the Pullman car, in whish the Marquis of Tweeddale and the Marquis of Huntly were sitting, stood the shock, although its forward end was knocked off. The passen- gers; on the Pullman coach were all asleep when the collision occurred. Ib was a marvell that they escaped as well as they did. Among the killed are the driver of the goods train and the stoker of the ex- press train. The thighs of the driver of the express train were smashed. The Marquis added that the people in the Pullman were pretty thorougly fright. ened when they were awakened by the crash. • ' When they got oub they found themselves amid a terrible wreck. The engine and tender were doubled back 'upon the first carriage and the Pullman car, forming one heap, which took fire from the red-hot coala of the engine furnace. The carriage behind the Pull- man car was broken. The aucident 00. °rimed at 350, and the night was. pitch dark. The Marquis said he saw several, of those who had been killed lying by the mils. The bodies he saw were less mutilated than might have been expected, considering the bad nature of the wreck. Re saw the body of a man terribly man- gled, crushed under the Pullman coach. A rescuing party were trying to extricate the body when the Marquis left. The official report of the killed in the fatal railway accident near Thirsk place the number at ten. Many persons received slight injuries and a Herere shaking up. The signal man, who was charged with being asleep alt bis poet, has been suspended from duty pending an investigation. The escape of the ocoupeams of the wrecked Pullman car was little short of mil emulous. The wheels were torn off, but the body of the coach stood the crath with but little damage. Pinioned beneath the huge engine the rescuing party saw a woman. She was in greet agony and screaming for help. They were powerless to help her. She was burned to death and her body reduced to ashes. The fire burned fiercely until noon, when the flames were got under control. The occupants of one carriage were im- prisoned by debris and in great peril. They wield am the flames elovely approaching and euffered from the increasing heat, They were reacued in the niek of time. Tbe engineer of the express train, him- aelf badly injared and held down by the debris, implored the rescuere to save the paseenger and not rnied him. ger utile Bluffs Mrs. Iroise (in a loud tone)--liave you any first -elms porterhouse steak this morn. big, Mr. Ohopson ?

" I went to London, and met 0 Neil there," Miss 'limits continued, "Although he told me not to bo so. I told him he had mined rne, and he said he would make it all right, or he would kill himself." This was all the testimony offered, and Mr. Hanna submitted that no cane was made out. This seemed to be more than the Magistrate could stand, and he maid : If I were a practitioner, I would be ashamed to defend this scoundrel; end if he had done the same to one of my family, I don't know what I would be tempted to do." He then remanded O'Neil to stand his trial at the next) sitting of a higher court. This will bring it before Judge Horne on December 13th. Meanwhile O'Neil was locked up until, he furnishes two bonds of $500.
