The plaintiff states that he is a person cf good repute employed as a bookkeeper ard general accountant in the United States Navy pay office, and is a notary public, and on the 7th of February he took the ac- knowledgment of one Michael Daly to an application for a pension, with the affidavits of Alfred O'Farrell and C. Wormelle to the same, and was by law entitled to charge 9% cents, but charged but 5) cents. Yet, be charges, the defendant, with intent to in- jure the plaintiff and bring him into public scandal, etc., on the same day spoke of and concerning him as follows: “If you don't give back 25 cents of the fee you charged Michael Daly I will report you to the At- torney General and have your commission taken from you. I consider it a swindle,” and on the following day wrote and com- posed a letter to the Secretary of the Navy Stating: “I went to the navy pay office and protested against the petty swindle, but the reat autocrat (meaning plaintiff) would give me no satisfaction; he held fast to his half-dollar,”” meaning thereby that he had swindled and cheat Micheal Daly, and by means of which grievances he claims to have been injured and claims as above. i Suspended Sentence. A man named Edward Sanford, who was arrested yesterday for engaging in a street fight with Albert Edelin, was tried in the Police Court today. He explained his con- duct by saying he took Edelin to task about 1 something he had said concerning his (San- ford’s) family. A fine of $5 was imposed. Policeman Auguste made a plea of poverty for the man, and asked the court to give him time to pay the fine. It was stated | that the man’s wife was employed, but the husband did not know where. He had been left at home to take care of the chil- dren, but yesterday he got drunk and then got in trouble. His children were cared for last night by a colored woman. Judge Miller made a few remarks about the s being able to get whisky, and said he would suspend sentence in the case $ for he thought the wife would y the fine and be deprived of her means of support. eee A Frame Building Destroyed.

TO GO TO WINDSOR SHOT HER PARAMOUR. Tragedy on the Streets of Memphis Last Night. MEMPHIS, Tenn., March 2.—“Have you Mr. Gladstone Will See the Queen | seen my glove; I think I dropped it,” said This Afternoon. GOSSIP ABOUT HIS SUCCESSOR —__s——— The Radicals Will Not Follow Lord Rosebery. COMMENTS OF THE PAPERS LONDON, March 2.—By command of the queen, Mr. and Mrs. Gladstone will pro- ceed to Windsor castle this afternoon and will remain as the guests of her majesty until tomorrow. At noon tomorrow a privy council will be held at Windsor castle and upon this occasion Mr. Gladstone will ten- der his resignation of the premiership. The Earl of Kimberly, lord president of the council; Earl Spencer, first lord of the admiralty, and the other ministers, with the exception of Lord Rosebery, will be present. Mr. Gladstone is in excellent health and spirits, and spent the forenoon at home. Position of the Radicals, The radicals, headed by Mr. Labouchere, have decided not to serve under any peer, and they say that if Lord Rosebery is made premier the existence of the new ministry is limited to a week. Mr. Labouchere has written a letter to the Right Hon. Edward Majoribanks, the liberal whip, saying that the feeling against a peer assuming the premiership is strong with the liberals as well as with the rad- icals. Continuing, Mr. Labouchere says: “During the tory administration the fact that the premier was in the house of lords was a stock complaint of the radicals in and out of parliament. Mr. Gladstone's popularity was largely due to the fact that he was regarded as the people's minister, scorning even old age, while holding the premiership. Without its being in the house of commons, we also complained, the party could not consult in regard to its future \leader, and we cannot for a moment admit that either the queen or the cabinet can select our leaders in secret conclave. It 1s obvious that the queen will select the man most grateful to the court, instead of the people. The secrecy maintained in regard to Mr. Gladstone, the semi-official denials up to the last moment,the manner in which his successor was sprung upon us and the house not sitting, have a very ugly aspect, and smacks of cabal and intrigue. “That the queen has a right to select the premier is more true in theory than in fact, and it is probable that within the next few years. if we remain united, we shall sweep away the hereditary chamber, When we welcome them in the house of commons as elected members, they will have the same claim as others to lead us. Mr. Gladstone's Career. The Times says: We have reason to be- lieve that Mr. Gladstene has made his last speech in parliament as premier, and that he is determined to resign before the new session opens. Our information is to the effect that he announced his decision to a few persons before he went to Biarritz, and that he never swerved from that decision. At the audience on Wednesday he informed the queen of his intentions. He will take the necessary official steps in the next few days. The cabinet were not taken into the premiers confidence, and only a few inti- mate friends were informed of his inten- tions. The Times in an editorial says: ‘The close of a great career cannot be contemplated save with sadness and regret, the least of all by those who cannot command the con- solation of faith in its beneficence and un- qualified admiration of its achievements. Friends and opponents are united in this crisis by a common sentiment of respectful sympathy that overleaps all difference and antagonisms. “We could, indeed, have wished that in his last appearance as the leader of the house of commons he had been able to con- template himself as all the world regards him today and touched, as he well knows how, the chords of universal emotion. There is something disappointing,‘unworthy of the occasion,’ in his speech, dealing, «s it did throughout, with the meager and bitter venalities and current partisanship. His most persistant opponent must regret, for his own sake, that he was unable to leave a sweeter and more impressive recollection than an echo of the crudest clamor of a radical club. He leaves his post without offering a program or formulating a policy or enunciating a principle. He has not a word to say with regard to the problem be- fore the country, and he simply exhorts his fellow to pursue his own method of getting up steam by setting fire to some of our in- stitutions. What will the party make of this precious bequest? Gladstone's Passing. The Daily News announces that although | Mr. Gladstone has not resigned and all | definite announcements on the subject are premature, “we fear that owing to personal reasons, which have often been described, the event cannot much longer be post- poned.”” in a leader commenting on the foregoing the News says the splendor of yesterday's speech and the vigor with which it was de- livered make it difficult to realize that the | nation is about to lose the value of incom- parable service. The unimpaired strength of his physical frame and the undiminished brightness of his magnificent intellect are counterbalanced by the cruel malady which has afflicted his eyes. It is useless to bifnk at facts because they are inexpressibly pathetic and intensely sad. He has, we trust, years of life befure him, and there is no reason why he should not witness before his final departure the triumph of the principle on which he has lavished his matchless powers,his eloquence and the inexhaustible stress of his wisdom. When the day of that victory comes, as come it must, it will be Mr. Gladstone's victory. No event, no combination of events, can rob him of that enduring glory. The News, discussing the question of a successor to Mr. Gladstone, again argues that the accident of birth ought not to de- bar Lord Rosebery of the premiership. It says he certainly could get elected to a seat in the house of commons. With reference to the house of lords, the News says: Mr. Gladstone struck a note that will ring through the land. He has given the signal for which the people were waiting. The final decision will not be given yet. There is no intention to dis- solve parliament this year. The house of iords has not filled the measure of their mischief. The News says that Mr. Glad- stone spoke without the use of a single not and, contrary to the habit of younger debaters, without the assistance of a glass of water. Lord Rosebery, Earl Spencer, Mr. John Morley, chief secretary of Ireland, and Mr. Asquith, the home secretary, met at the foreign office after Mr. Gladstone's speech. Later Mr. Gladstone took dinner with Lord Rogebery. The Chronicle says: “The old warrior has gone fighting. His last night in the house of commons marked an epoch in English history and that will for years count themselves happy that they took even an inconspicuous part in it. His de- parture seems for the moment to leave the world bare. How we shall miss him his courage and faultless bearing subtly blending the old world and the new. aa Addresses ir mn. Adams. PHILADELPHIA, March 2.—The second day's session of the G. A. R. encampment was not called to order until 11 o'clock, two hours behind schedule time. The first busi- ness in order was the election of a medical director, but this was postponed, and a re- ception was tendered Commander-in-Chiet Adams of Boston. The commander spoke complimenting the department of yivania on the excellent showing made by the G. A.

Before the man she addressed could reply she whipped out a navy six-shooter and shot him through the thigh. The man sprang to his feet, and as he did so another bullet was sent through his stomach, bringing him to earth. In his recumbert position he shot the woman through the hip and she fell within a few feet of him. In this position both parties popped at each other until their shooting irons were emptied. The re- sult was that the woman received another shot through the arm, and is seriously wounded; the man was dead. The victim, J. W. Deming, a saw filer from West Virginia, had alienated Mrs. Wrench’s affections from her husband and then deserted her. —_.>_—_ THE W. C. T. ‘S$ GREAT CRUSADE. Preparing for a2 World-Wide Demon- stration Against Vice. NEW YORK, March 2.—During the last seven years the World’s Women’s Christian Temperance Union has been preparing a monster polyglot petition against the traffic in alcohol, opium and against legalized vice, to be presented to all the governments of the world. Lady Henry Somerset and Miss Willard have been appointed as the depu- tation to convey this petition to the differ- ent governments. The petition itself has now reached an unprecedented length of over 2,000,000. sig- natures, and with the uttestation of certain great societics not less than 3,000,000, According to the forthcoming rumber of the Review of the Churches, Dr. Lunn, the editor, has. been requested by these ladies to organize a demonstration round the world. With this purpose in view, a first- class steamer is to be immediately charter- ed, and a party of 100 will be organized to accompany Lady Somerset and Miss Wil- lard in this remarkable crusade. INCREDIBLE CRUELTY. ies Londed W Chains Pitched Overboard by Pursued Smugglers. TACOMA, Wash., March 2.—It is claimed that smugglers have been actively at work for some time, and they have imported thousands of dollars’ worth of opium and landed hundreds of coolies within the past sixty days. A local paper publishes a statement that the smugglers, when hard press*d by cus- toms officers, have thrown their living cargo into the sound, putting chains aud balls on the coolles legs to insure the bodies going to the bottom. The customs officers are reticent about divulging any news pertaining to seizures they make, as a new ruling of the Treasury Department forbids them doing so. ES ESE N SUSPENDED. JOCKEY SL He is Charged With Purposely Losing at San Francisco. SAN FRANCISCO, March 2.—“Toda” Sloan, the light-weight eastern jockey, has been indefinitely supended by the board of stewards for the miserable manner in which he rode Tigress in the second race at the Bay District track yesterday. Tigress was a hot second choice and probably carried more money than the favorite. When on the stretch, with Tigress on the outside and passing the bunch, suddenly Sloan pulled the mare over behind the leaders and got into a pocket. The board of stewards, afte! the race, sent for the bookmakers’ shec and will thoroughly investigate the matter. Those who know Sloan best, however, say that they do not think he purposely lost the race. BEATEN BY HER FATHER. Motherless Madeline Beaudet Dying With a Fractured Skull.

An Old Minnesota Hunter scape From Death, NORTH FIELD, Minn., March 2.—F. N. Cook, an old hunter, had been hunting in a dense forest nine miles from here and had lingered until darkness overtook him last night. Suddenly the yell of a wolf was heard. Instantly a large number joined in with their howls. Throwing his rifle away Cook ran for his life, trying to gain a farm house. The wolves gained on him and Cook gave out. He leaped into a tree and just as his feet were out of reach the wolves came up. The temperature was 20 below zero, but he remained in the tree until morning, his cries failing to arouse the neighbors. Narrow ae SHOCKING STATE OF AFFAIRS. credness of an Oath Ignored in Towa.

J., March 2.— Moore Baker's farm house, where the shock- ing tragedy occurred at 2 o'clock yester- day morning, in which Baker’s young wife and sixteen months old baby Gertrude were chopped to death by the negro, William Thompson, accompanied by Henry Pierson, another negro, Farmer Baker’s protege, who also tried to murder Farmer Baker, and both of whom were killed by the farmer, is closed and silent today. None of the traves of the quadruple xill- ing have beea removed from the room where it occurred. The rsom remains in the same disorder in which it was left yesterday when the bodies of Mrs. Baker and ner child were taken away. Tbe broken fur- niture and the blood stains are all there. Everything will remain as it is until after the funeral In the meantime the house will remain closed. The house is an object of great intcrest. People drive from ali parts of the coua:ry to look at it. They stop at the front gate, gaze at the house with morbid curiosity and retell the story of the tragedy that has shocked the entire community. The neigh- borhood is wrought up as it was never | before. A feeling of distrust and suspicion toward colored men he generated. It is remembered that some of the most horrible crimes that have been committed in New Jersey were perpetrated by negroes. Among the colored people there is a feel- ing of resentment against the two dead negroes for the odium they have brought upon their race. The funeral will take place on Sunday afternoon at 2 o'clock from the Dutch Reformed Church. The dead body of Mrs. Baker and Baby Gertrude will be buried in the same grave. Today the dead bodies of the young wife and her child are lying in the best room of J. J. Baker's house, near the house where they were cruelly butchered. Everything that the undertaker’s art and the loving hands of women friends can do to hide the wounds of the assassin’s ax has been done. Moore Baker is a broken-down man to- day. The reaction after the excitement has come, and he is seemingly lost to all sense of his surroundings.

Assistant Secretary Reynolds Decides an Interesting Pension Case. Assistant Secretary Reynolds has re- cently decided a case which will render pensionable a meritorious class of claim- ants, under thd act of June 27, 1800, who were excluded under the previous decisions of the department. The case is that of Mary E., widow of Samuel H. Walker, whose husband had | served a term of over ninety days and been i honorably discharged. He again entered: the service and was commissioned, ard, while serving his second term of service, was Killed not in the line of duty. His aim was rejected by the pension bureau, in conformity with the departmental «e- cisions that a soldier not having been noncr- | ably discharged from his second term cf | service his widow was not entitled to a pension, notwithstanding the fact that he nad served ninety days or more, and had been honorably discharged therefrom avd had died. Assistant Secretary Reynolds, after re- | ferring to the decisions on this subject which hold that the term “honorabiy dis- | charged therefrom” refered to all cf | soldiers’ service in the war of the rebellion, and from each and every term of eniist- ment, and that the necessary conditions | | under all circumstances were that as each | and every term expired it must be followed by an honorable discharge, and that death in a second or subsequent service was nut | under any circumstances equivalent to an | honorable discharge, proceeds to say: | “While the rules laid down in the cases jcited, if strictly adhered to, would con-| strain us to confirm the action of the late | commissioner of pensions in rejecting this | claim, yet the case here presented is one coming within the spirit and letter of the law, and fuifilling all the requirements | thereof for the allowance of a widovy's | pension under the third section of the act, | so far as relates to service and discharre. | To reject this claim because of death in a second term of service would be doing | violence to the plain intent of the law. for death was a final termination of his service, and it cannot be said that it i | equivalent to a dishonorable discharge. * * | | Even though the words ‘honorable dis- ; | charge’ be interpreted in their broadest | nse, and held to mean an honorable (is- charge from each and every term of service, | yet death in the second term of service hould be considered as equivalent | honorable discharge, unless occurring wn | circumstances which would have warran |a dishonorable one. To hold otherwise is to defeat a meritorious class of claimants | who bring themselves within the » letter and spirit of the act by proving every j essential requirement of the law. Tam of the opinion that when a soldier has served | a term of enlistment of ninety days or sore | and been honorably discharged therefrom, re-enlists and dies during his subseq: | term—which death is not the result of a | violation of any law, rule or regulation of | | | the military or naval service—the require- ments of the act of June 27, 1890, as to length of service and honorable discharge are fulfilled, and his widow is entitled to a pension on compliance with the other | conditions of the act. The action of the pension bureau of June 23, 1891, rejecting | this widow's claim is hereby reversed, and you will proceed to adjudicate this and all) similar cases in accordance with the rule as herein indicated.” CAPITOL TOPICS. Against Investigating Federal Judges The House judiciary committee decided to- | day not to recommend the investigation of decisions rendered by Judges Brewer, | Taft, Dundy, Pardee and others, in con- | nection with the investigation of Judg= Jenkins’ decision restraining railway em-| ployes. | Representative Somers of Wisconsin ap- ‘peared before the committee and argue] s unfair to single out the Je decision, He said there was no opp< sition to the Jenkins investigation, but the | inquiry should at least inciude the decis- ion of Judge Dundy, which was more severe jon employes than was the Jenkins decis- jion. The committee concluded, however, | not to complicate the Jenkins investigation by going into cther decisions, and a report to that effect will be made to the House. > o-————__— The Patent Office Inquiry.

Stevenson, There was an exciting time in Essex court this morning, when John Stevenson, @ colored man, went home and found no one who was willing to make his home pleasant for him. For more than a year he has lived there with Nancy Cole, but a few days ago Nancy concluded that she could live without him, and she so told him. John had been drinking, had failed to support her, and complaint was made by the landlord because of the late hours he had been keeping. “And so you suddenly became afraid of him when you became tired of him?" quer- ied Lawyer Peyton, when she reached court. “No, sir,” was her response. did love him, nohow.” It was about 8 o'clock when John reached the house this morning, after an absence of three days, and he was informed that there was no room there for him. But he slipped up the steps, and used his knife with as much effect as “Jack the Slasher,” and Nancy exhibited to the court her ruin- ents. Wane otanting in court during the hear- ing John made threats to “do” and “fix” Nancy when he gets out, in addition to threats made at the house that he would kill her with a knife. Lawyer Peyton here claimed that his client was too much under the influence of liquor to be tried, but the judge said: “I'm nye peteenie @inksd Tee be Meeieet him, but the proof was conclust: ana Judge Kimball held him guilty. de- ing the clothes a fine of $10 was im- while in the disorderly case the usual amount of fine, $5, was charged, and “I never He started back toward the cell room, but | before reaching there he indulged in’ pro- and repeated his threats, which caused the court to impose an additional fine of $20 or sixty days.
