One (lent. Absolutely Independent. THURSDAY, APRIL 23, \891. British Soldiery. A significant straw pointing in the direction of the downfall of monarchy, is the report concerning the latest ex- hibition of the mutinous spirit of the British army. Insubordination in the artillery at Gosport has been quickly followed by surly disobedience amounting to muti- ny, in the Third Battalion of the Grenadier Guards at Chelsea Barracks and at the St. George quarters near Trafalgar Square. Two conclusions re- sult from these affairs. The discontent in the British service is general and is not confined to “Tommy Atkins” in the line, but extends to the expert arms of the British service and to the crack corps. In the second place the exile of the Second Battalion of the'Grenadiers has not proved effective as an example, even to the Royal Household troops. It seems that some spirit likegto that of Nihilism in Russia has permeated the troops of England and practically obliterated that quasi-feudal sentiment which induced almost reverential obedi- ence of men to officers under all circum- stances. . .-... .1.._4.g~>. .1 ... THE STRIKING CAR BIEN. l‘hey Throw Cars Off the Track in Their Efforts to Stop Traffic. DETROIT, Mich, April 23.-—The street car strike in this city, continues. Some disorder has occurred on the IVoodwaid, \Iichigan and Jefferson avenue lines, but none of the episodes has resulted serious- 1 y A number of the disturbers have been arrested. The street c111 companies are giving fair service. On the Jefferson ave- nue line a mob of 300 strikers patroled \Vednesday morning. A steam motor, on which the company had been experimenting with a view to its , ‘ the door to call for help. Mrs. Sullivan use for rapid t: ausit purposes, was put in service with a train of cars, but the strik- , crs detached the cars and an them off the , track, with a view to dumping them in the river. The arrival of police prevented this. The molders of the Detroit and Michi- l 1 gen Stove companies both located on Jef- i fe1so11 av enue, joined the st1rike1s during their noon hem and threw another car off the track. At 2 o’clock in the after— 110011 the Jefferson avenue line was practi— cally tied up, there only being three cars in operation. A HOSPITAL TRAGEDY. One “‘hich the Officials Had Allnost Succeeded in Hushlng Up. AUBURN, N. Y., April 23.—On Friday night, between the ward visits of the night watch at \Villard State hospital, Dewitt Savacool, an epileptic. patient, killed another patient named John Mor- row. The homicide was apparently'com- mitted by striking the victim with the room crockery, which was dashed into fragments, and they, the beds and walls were sputtered with blood. Dr. Bishop, however, 011 examination discovered that the victim (lied from suffocation, as Sava- cool, after felling Morrow across hi bed, piled the bedding over him, with another hedsfcad on top of that. Sav acool w as not thought to be danger- 0113. He gave his testimony before the coroner in a clear and‘lucid manner, and told it with as much nonchalance as if he had been butchering a hog. Savacool said that Morrow came to his (Savacool’s) bed in the night and annoyed him. Through' the officers of the hospital the affair has been well hushed 11p for several days, and has only just leaked out. Furiously Attackedgby His “life. CHICAGO, April 23— Vhile Howard \Vix— on, manager of the transfer office of a big wholesale house, was sitting at his desk a closely veiled woman of trim figure en- tered the establishment and, without a word to any one, sailed over to \Vixon, and, proclaiming her intention to kill him on the spot, struck him over the head with a weapon which she drew from beneath her cloak. Then she flourished a knife, but before she had time to use it she was seized by the now thoroughly alarmed manager and the janitor, disarmed and dragged from the store, shrieking, kicking and gnashing her teeth like a maniac. It has been learned that Mr. lVixon’s as- sailant was his estranged wife, from whom he is seeking a divorce on the ground of drunkenness. Must Admit the Colored Man. OTTUMWA, 1a., April 23.—Last winter a colored barber named McCracken joined the Methodist Episcopal church by letter. This aroused the indignation of some members of the church and they put in a vigorous protest to McCracken’s admis- sion. The Rev. Mr. Thorn, the pastor, was finally forced to hand the colored brother’s letter back to him and deny him admission to the fold. McCracken, how- ever, is a Christian of muscular and deter- mined persuasion and he appealed to Bish- op Joyce, who has just replied that church membership cannot be severed by mere re turn of letters when it has once been ac- cepted, and orders the church to admit McCracken. .. Plunged Into the River. ENFIELD, 1*. H., April 23. —Frank V. Emerson, with his wife and child, was ' driv ing from Lebanon to his home at East Lebanon, when his horse seemed to have a fit and plunged over a bank into Mascoma river. Mr. Emerson succeeded in getting out and saving the child, but Mrs. Emer- son was drowned. The horse swam ashore. Shut Down from Stagnation. HAVERHILL, Mass, April 23.—-On ac- count of the general stagnation the firm oi Wallace, Elliott & Co., which annually transacted a trade of $300,000, has shut down. Two hundred and fifty hands are thrown out of employment. . BRIEF DIENTION. At a meeting of the Tenants’ Defense league held in Dublin Mr. Redmond made astatement to the effect that a continu- ance of the plan of campaign was impossi- ble, in view of the fact that, with the ex- ception of the fund now held in Paris, the1e was no money with which to con- tinue the warfare against the landlord. At a convention of dairymen of eastern Pennsylvania at Lancaster resolutions were adopted denouncing the open viola— tion of the oleomargarine law in Phila- delphia, and asking for the removal of the present collector of internal revenue. A committee was appointed to call upon the secretary of the treasury, DAILY - NORWALK- GAZETTE. A LB ANY LEGISLATION. The Deadlock Still Remains Unbroken in the Senate. ALB iNY, April 23. -—In the senate. It is still Monday in the senate, there having been no adjournment. The question upon reconvening was the same as the past two - days—whether the canal investigatiOn should be limited to certain charges. There was 11 lively wrangle for about an hour between the lieutenant governor and Senator Fassett, and before any decision on the pending question could be reached, upon motion of M1. Fassett the senate took a recess until 11 a. m. Thursday. In the Assembly. In the Assembly—Bills passed: The statutory revision commission’s codifica- tions of the county law and the poor law (two bills); Mr Dean’s amending the code relative to the death of unknown persons; Mr. Roesch’s, amending the code relative to fees of county clerks; Mr. VVoodbury’s, appropriating $45, 000 for the Jamestown a1m01 y, \Ii. Sulze1’ s, relative to the incor- po1ation of societies for the prev cntion of cruelty to animals; Mr. Acker’s, to allow Corning to build a city hall. IVhen Senator O’Connor’s bill appropri- atin g $50, 000 for a sewer for the Bin gham- ton State hospital came up for passage, Mr. B'lumenthal thought that it should be laid aside on the ground that the senate was doing nothing with the assembly bills. Mr. \IcClclland said that he had nothing against the bill, but the line had to be drawn somewhere. He moved to lay this and all other senate bills aside. The motion was carried by a party vote of 58 to 47'. A MAD \VII‘E’S FRENZY. She Almost murders Hei Husband and Takes Her Own Life. PITTSBUIIG, April 23,—At 3:30 o’clock Wednesday morning Mrs. Mary Sullivan, aged sixty- five, residing 111 the west end of tho cit-,y arose f1on1 the bed on which she had been sleeping beside her husband, se- cured a carving knife and made a desperate assault on her husband, who was lying on the bed asleep. Before the old gentleman could escape his wife’s furious slashings he had received a bad gash 011 the left side, had one hand almost severed from the wrist and a deep cut in the throat. Sullivan finally took the knife away from his wife and ran to went 11p stairs, and with a razor cut a ter- rible gash in her own throat. Mrs. Sullivan, who has been slightly de- mented for two years, will die. Mr. Sulli- . van, who is a boss roller at Painter’s iron ’ mill, will recover. For and Against Bismarck. BERLIN, April 23.—It has been decided by the Radical and Guelph party managers to allow the electors a free hand in the re- ballot at Geestemunde, Hanover, for a member of the reichstag. This agreement is considered to assure the elect-i011 of Prince Bismarck. Large sums of money are being expended by the Socialists in the attempt to prevent the return of the prince to the reichstag. Part of this campaign fund is said to be supplied by the other parties who are opposed to the ex- -chan- cellor. 1. A Bad Railroad “’reck.
