London, May 13.—Gladstone in
TJouae "f Ojimimns tbia afternoon, replying i
to Sir Miuhaol HiekH-Iieach, Coo.erYdilfe,
(lottd'tbat Iho government wonld prdj)one
that debate on the Howe ltule bill tbonld
Be from day to day. bt ginning Monday
nut. The government Would not take to-
morrow (Friday) for snob debate, because
John Mortly, chief secretary' for Ireland,
would then take occafiop to move a second
reading of Uia bill relating to purchase and
use of arms in Ireland.
Debate on Gladstone’s Irish bill was then
estuued by Sir Henry Jones, ex-Attorney-
eneral and at present Liberal member for
Jlury. He criticized the measure. He said it
was only iutiuenced by a desire to arrive nt
the right and just conclusion concerning the
best way to govern Ireland. [Cries of
“hear, hoar,” from Gladstone]. The Pre
mier’s scheme contained live conditions,
unity of Europe, supremacy of Imperial
Parliament, safeguards for righta of Irish
ministry, ipbolding of social order, and
final settlement of the Irish question. But
the bill offered no security whatever tor
the fulfillment of the conditions, because
whatever Irish bill England might pass,
could he repealed the next day by the Dub
lin Parliament , ...
The speaker said he reprobated the threat
of the Ulster Loyalists to resort tq arms.
Every one should discourage such threats;
buttbo government had mentioned what
dynamiters and assassins would do unless
the hill was passed. , I ;
Here John Morely corrected the speaker
by stating that wliat had been said Was that
dynamiters and assassins would be delight
ed if the hill; rejected.
Sir Henry continuing, said the veto
prevision in Gladstone's bill was inadequate
to protect the Loyalist minority, because
th. judges and police of Ireland would bo
minions of the majority. The minority
should not be thus depressed. ■ (Cheers.)
The speaker did not believe that the bill
would prove a final settlement of the Irish
question, but did believe that Irishmen
would use it simply as a vantage ground
■lot warfare upon England to obtain eventu
ally total separation. (Cheers qt no, no,
from l'arnelites). In conclusion, Sir Henry
Slid we have, indeed, now come to the
parting of roads, -os the premier says.
Each member must make his choice. I
have made mine. I believe that the bill
will lead to confusion and chaos. I hope
the House will maintain an unbroken union
aa at present exists between the three king
doms. (Cheers,)
Campbell Bannerman,' Secretary of
War, said he did not believe that the Irish
would exhibit all the vices and nono of the
virtues of a nation. Thn very fact that all
rivals and schemes for reform of govern
ment in Irulaml had been withdrawn to
give the present one entire possession of
the field testified to the soundness of the
bill. The late government had allowed
things in Ireland to drift until English
rule m Ireland bad come to bo despised.
He believed tbe majority of the house fav
ored the cardinal principle of tbs bill. If
u, he would ask what oonld be more de
plorable than the failure pi the house to
give legislative ellcet to that principle. In
conclusion, Bannerman declared that the
government was quite ready to consider
illioggestionsforjtno rotenaoaof Irish rep
resentatives at Westminster, (Laughter

preuios was greeted with significant Par.
Bvllite cheers.
Edmond denied that if tho bill wore em
t ted it would place Ireland inn position of

billon said that although he recognised
ins tset that the measure was defective iu
•on respect*, ho was ready to accopt it as
nwttlement of tho question, and would en-
«avor honestly to aid in its enforcement in
no amlcablo spirit ns regards both England
sod Ulster. It was impossible, ho con
tinued, that n embers should think
that tbe KatioDnliets wero anxious to
«t it Westminster, whllo tho affairs of
Irsltnd were going to wreck and ruin.
(Irish cheers.] Ho appealed to those who
r ted to the principle of borne rule, ni

Congressman Springer Predicts Democratic
Victory In Ills Slate fills Fall.
“The Democratic party 1» in first-class
shape in Illinois,” said Congressman Sprin
ger to a New York World representative.
“The party and individual leaders are in
happy accord with Mr. Cleveland and tho
policy of his administration. There is not
the dissension in Illinois which I hear exists
in other States. The party is now stronger
and by election time it wifi be more united
than it has ever been. Mr. Cleveland’s ad
ministration is in every respect satisfactory
to the party, and they will continue to
Rtnndbyit. Thereare to bo elected this
year n Legislature, a Treasurer of
State, and Superintendent of Pub
lic Instruction. I btliovo a
Democratic Legislature will be elected, and
I have reasons to regard with favor tho
chances for the State ticket, though at the
last elections the Republicans had a major
ity of a little over 5,000. The public in
general are also satisfied with the Demo
cratic policy aa formulated and oarriod ont
by tho President that it has drown from
tho Republican party many supporters who
in future will vote with us. Wo may lose,
perhaps, two of our Demoorotio represent
atives In Congress.
'There are now three Democrats hero
from Republican districts, Ward, Neece
nnd Worthington, yet, considering they
wero elooted in a Presidential year, when
party lines wero closely drawn, there
should be no fear sbont either this year.
We stand an eqnal chance to elect a Demo
crat In the distriot now represented by Mr.
Thomas. In Ward’s district, which em
braces a part of the city of Chicago, there
are yot two factions of the Republican
party, with but little prospect of a settle
ment of their differences, it is said, nnd I
think trnthfully, that Carter Harrison is
going to be a candidate in Ward's district,
and tl >■ r.• is no 1 '»> ■< 1“' will I "
elected. The manner in whloh he has han
dled the rioters makes him one of tho most
popular men in Chicago, and it will be im-
poseiblo to defeat him."

WasHCroTos, May 13.—Blair'a speech
favoring a gigantic raid on the treasury was
spoken to nn empty Senate. Senators pre
ferred tbe races to aueh an oratorical in
fliction. It is calculated 'that Blair’s latest
scheme will deplete the treasury to the
tune of (50,010,000 annually. An income
tax is the last desperate expedient to stop
this robbery.
Mr. Vance celebrated his 60th bitthday
this morning. Some wag put the elegant

them." He blushed when the card was
brought to him upon which wns inscribed
bis own name.

The Fast of this morning says it is a
matter of complaint among prominent
Democratic members of Congress that the
time of the House is being
wasted and business delayed by the
non-attendance of members. Day after
day the House is without a quorum, and
legislation is blocked by this point being
raised. Democratic majorities in the
committee;'., it is atatad, are rendered
minorities by non-attendance. Democratic
propositions are defeated and Republicans
are carrying their measures ami amend
ments in the House through the non-at-
teudanco of Democrats. Only yesterday a
Republican proposition to iucreaso by
$100,000 the appropriation for guns, which
was carried in committee, was defeated by
only a bare majority in tho Honse. This
bngle call emanattd from Morrison, who
cannot control his oonorta when the circus
nnd races present superior attractions.
•i Representative llill ia thus quoted:
“Ohio politics look blue at present, I ad
mit, but they never looked bluer than iu
1872. Yet in 1874 Iho State returned four-
ten Democrats to Congress out of n delega
tion of twenty. We shall certainly oomu
hack to the next Congress with as many
Democrats as now, and wo may possibly
“rry the State. The idiot who is at pros
it Lieutenant-Governor is doing his best
enl 1
to come to Congress, bnt there could not
be a district in tho State fixed up to elect
or even to nominate bim.”
■The impression now is that tho Cnllom
bill and the Reagan hill will annihilate each
other, and railroads be let alone. Debate
on the bureau of apiculture being made a
department, brought out some wild talk on
the constitution, tariff and labor question,
tlio best thing repeated being one of Tom
Moore's poems. ILm'h.
ie “Whig" Meeting a Ridiculous Farce.
Coweta Solid for Ilacop.
Ngwmii, May 13.—Tho great Whig meet
ing, ao extensively advertised, calling tbs
old Whigs of Coweta together for the par.
ioso of consultation and advisement, assem
rled in the coart hoass yesterday. Abont
two hnndred of the voters of the county
wero present, ono hundred and ninety-nino
of whom wero there through idle cariosity,
nnd only ono imbued with tho idea that the
old party could be resurrected nnd the
palselcBs, inanimate form instilled with
new life. This attempt to drag the old
party from the grava was a miserable fail
ure. Tho proceedings were, on tho whole,
extremely ridiculous.
A few devoted adherents of Gen. Gordon
participated in the meeting and attempted
to pass resolutions pledging him tho sup
port of the old Whigs of Coweta. This was
a failure, and demonstrated beyond ques
tion that Coweta ts at last from under the
yoko of tho Brown-Colqnllt-Gordon ring.

After thn adjournment of tho above a!

ney of OUT town, who arose amid much nt>-

Tiipmahtoji, May 13.—From a tollable
source I have the following particulars of
the murder of Bud Johnson by Jim Cart
wright, which occurred on the evening of
the 11th iust., in the eastern part of Mer-
ri wether county, about one mile from Hull's
bridge, on Flint river. It seems that Wil
liam, alias Bnd Johnson, and Jim Cart
wright, both white, aro small farmers, and
livo within n quarter of a mile of each
other, and, aa far aa is known, have been
good friends. Monday ovening Bud John
son went to his honse from his field to get
some water. While there be sat down to
rest, and took bis little child
in hi* arms. Us. wife also being
In tha yard. While forbidding the child,
Jim Cartrightcame up to the gate and said:
“Bnd, you seem to lie resting well" Bud
replied: "No, I have been at work end am
tired.” Cartright then sad: “Bud, come
here; 1 want to seo yon.” Johnson got up
with his child in his arms and started to
Cartright, and when he got near bim Cart-
right drew his pistol and shot him twice—
onco in the head and once through the
heart. Johnson fell, and aa he was falling
his wife ran up and canght the child. John-
son expired at onco. Cartright then said
"Mrs. Johnson, I hare lulled the best
friend I over had, bat God told me todoit.”
Cartright was arrested and ia now in cus

T1IE FERNHNDB2 TU \GEDT.
Oood Rcusiui fur Be let? tag that tho Shttrt-
lug ltcMiltei! from Acrl.lent,
A Boston special of the 10th instant sftVR:
Mrs. Periko Fernandez, the principle to the
terrible tragedy at Hawthorno, N. J.,
was formerly a ilias Belle Nickerson, and
her family, consisting of parents and
brothers and sinters, reside in this city.
They are completely overwhelmed with
trier at the dreadful news. Mrs. Nickerson
now traveling to Hawthorne, and she
may return with tbe body of her daughter.
Mrs. Fernandez was born at Moncton, in
the British providence of New Bruns wick, Die
third of a dozen Nickerson children. She
Rrew np amid humble surroundings and as
a girl acquired n reputation for her good
looks and coquetry. Nine years ago she
came to Boston with a sister, nnd tho two
girl* made their living in millinery work.
After a.white their parenta moved here and
Belle joined their home. She had many
suitors, but apparently sighed for some
thing better than her lovers offered her.
In 1882 Belle migrated to Now York and
fhortly after wrote to her people that she
wo* companion to an invalid lady. Then
came the andden announcement of her en-
tngement to a wealthy Cuban sugar dealer—
Fernandez. The latter’s friends opposed
the match, but for two yearn the swarthy
suitor pressed his suit and finally the mar-
ringe took place, and the yonng couple
opened housekeeping in a pretty honso on
Broadway, near Central park. Thoao who
knew them say that a happier or more de
voted couple apparently never existed.
Fernandez gavo hts wife everything she de
sired and when tho Nickerson old folks vis
ited their daughter they returned homo
with the news that they did not think it
cross word would ever pass between their
child And her hiiabaud.
As far aa the outer world waa concerned
these perfect marital eouditlons continued;
tbo letters to the Nickerson family were full
of joyful content. The removal to Haw
thorns was to gratify a fancy of the wife;
nnd her parents, in their frequent visits to
the Jersey residence, at no time discovered
tbe fsintuHt cloud of jealousy or dissension.
The only desire was a child, nnd » little
over a year ago a baby boy was adopted and
treated with thn greatest affection by 1
Mr. and Mrs. Fernandez.
Mr. and Mrs. Nlokerson are absolutely
convinced that the shooting wns an noui-
dent, tho result of some playful aeatlliug.
Fernandez sla-ays carried a revolver, as he
had been attacked and robbed on one occa
sion in New York; the theory of the parent*
is that Mrs. Fernandez playfuUy attempted
to remove the weapon from her husband'*
clothes and in doing so discharged the fatal
barrel. The agonv of remorse may well
have cmzed the unhappy woman and causod
her to take her own life with tho next ballet.
A New York special says: Tbe little ham
let of Hnwthorne, N. J., ha* recovered
somewhat to-day from tho shock of tho
double trsgsdy which took placo Saturday
night. The general belief, however, is that
Ferurndez, alter his return Saturday night
from this city, in changing his clothing Ini.l
his revolver on tbe bureau, and that his
wife picked it np without knowing how
easily a self-cocking revolver is discharged.
While handling it the pistol was accidentally
discharged auii in despair at finding she hail
killed her husband Mrs. Fernandez killed
herself. This theory is also held by Chief
Grant and the coroner. ’■ H

fnl surprise was created here to-day by the

rumor waa current to the effort that Ilard

Unminout danger of th* *nur* community, it 1* tb*

to each diabolical operations.
Among r*c*nt important discoveries by the food
analyst* is that by pro.. Moth th* U. 8. Government
ChemUt. of large amounts of lime In th* cheep bak-
log powder*. This Is, if not th* most dangerous,
certainly th* most useh-ss adulterant yet found In
tho low grade, inferior baking powtlt-rs. It is a
startling fact that of over «&•> Uundr«Rl different
brands or baking powders so far analyied, com
prising *11 tho** sold in thl* vicinity, not on* of
them with th* *lngle exception of tho Royal Bas
ing Powder, waa found fres from both Urn* end
alum. Th* chief service of lim* la to add weight
It 1* true that lime when subjected to beat glvo*
off a certain amount of carbonlo acid gas, but a
quick Urn* 1* left, a caustic so powerful that it Is
used by tanners to eat th* hair from hides of ani
mals, and In dissecting rooms to more quickly rot
tha flssh from tho boues of dead subjects. A
email quantity of dry lime vpon the tongue, or In
the eye, produoee pelnful effects; how much more
sertema most these effects be upon the delicate
membrane* ol the stomach, lnte*Un*e.and klooeys,
more particularly of Infant* and children, andfa-
poclaliy when the lime Is taken Into tbo system
day after day and with almost every meal. This
U aaid by physician* to be one of th* cbtsf can***
of indigestion, tfyspepate, aud tboae painful dte-
*a*t* of tbo kldnaya now so prevalent. Instance*
of the mosteerlone affection* of tbe latter organa
from drinking Hue waters found la some section*
of th* West are noted In every medical Journal.
Adnlteratlnn with lime Ie even more to bo dreaded
than with alum, which baa heretofore received the
moat empbKho condemnation from every food
aoalist, pbyalcian, and ch' uiat. for tbe reeeon
that while alum la probably partially dissolved
and passed off in geo by the knt of baking, it ts Ira-
ymnUote destroy or e bongs the natnre sf Um
tm* In any degree, eo that the entire amounts la
the baking powder paseee. with alt Ua laynrtoiM
properties, into tbe stomach. When we *1*1* that
thacbemtete have found twelve per cent, or one-
eighth of Che entire weight of some samples of. bak-
lag powder analysed to be lim*, tb* wickedness of
th* adulteration will be fully apparent.
Pur* baking powders are ore of th* ehlaf aide

food. White tboae are to L* obtained ot well eo-
