Loxnox, Jan. 31.â€"Mr. Spurqeon died at Montone shortly after eleven o’clock to-uiglit. He had been unconscious since this morning and had not recognized his wife and adopted daughter. He refused all fovd, and although milk was forced down his throat, it was not; retained. “- Mr. SpurgeouI’S body will b3 brought to England for burial. Mrs. Spurgeon is be-xringflher affliction bravely. III 3 Mr. Spurgeon took a little milk during Saturday night, but early yesterday morn- ing it was evident there was no hope. Once or twice he just recognized his wife. After 10 a m. he took no food and gradually sank. His friends had been confident that he would recover, because his last attack was milder than the previous one. but the gout reached his head, and congestion of the kidneys returned. Between his attacks of suffering on Saturday he was able to ‘speak. and expressed himself anxious to ‘send a message to his congregation. He thought constantly of his wife. 1 Una v ‘. [Charles Haddon Spurgeon, who some time ago discarded the usual title of reverend, was the son of a Congregational minister. He was born at Kelvedon, Essex England, in 1834. When 15 years of age be left school as a pupil. and engaged'him- self as an under teacher atl‘lewmarket. After a remarkable religious experience he gave his thoughts to the ministry of the Baptist denomination, of which he had become a member. His first sermon was ‘ delivered while he held the position of assistant master in a school at Cambridge, was preached in a tiny village chapel, and was heard with remarkable interest. His services were sought eagerly after this, uv. 1 .vv... - v_ V and he was knowgn ove; {considerable piece of country as “the boy preacher.” At: 17 years of age he assumed the pastor- LINDSAY, THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 4th, I89 .

It was opened free of debt tvm years afterward, and from that time until now has been attended by a congregation averaging over 6,000 persons on Sundays when the great preacher occupied its rostrum. Mr. Spurgeon once preached to a. congregation of 20,000 at the Crystal Palace, near lmndon. When during the progress of repairs at his Metropolitazr Tabernacle he preached in the Agricultural , h lll, Islingron, his audience numbered about 20,000 persons at every service. Connected with his church, outgrowths of its energies, are the pastors’ college, from which several hundreds of young men have been sent out as ministers, and an orphanage which was begun at. the instance , of 'L lady friend who sent Mr. $purgeon a cheque for $100,000 with which to begin it. About 300 orphans are fed, lodged, clothed, and educated in this institution. Other institutions connected with the Tibernaele are a Colportage Association, Alms-house for Aged Women, missionary stations, Sunday schools, a Mission to the Blind, Ladies’ Benevolent and Maternal Societies, and many others.

ISLâ€"An extra freight train on the Lake Erie and Western road thundered through Fort Recovery at a tremendous rate last evening, and a few. loungers at the depot there noticed that there was even more than the usual number of trampish-looking fellows on board. As the cab305€ swept past the station agent's office Conductor Reed was 1 seen to flip a small piece of paper out of . the window which was partly open. The l little wad of paper fell on the platform‘ and was picked up by a bystander, who, i moved by idle curiosity, carried it over to 3 a lamp, which swung over the door of the h iagage room. It proved to be half of an o‘ul envelope, on which was written in almost indecipherahle letters the following message to Station Agent Brownlic, of this place : “ Gang of tramps taken pos~ Session of my train. For God’s sake get a party of officers together and help " Here the message broke ()3, Conductor Reed having evidently been unable to write more. Station Agent Brownlie sent a messeage to Marshal Woods; then a despatch was received from Conductor Reed at the next station, saying the tramps had Tom Weedon, a brakeman. By this time 1 Marshall Woods had assembled a posse of . citizens and had started toward Mackinaw j Junction, 3 little more than a mile from here. They had just arrived there when 1 the train, as is the custom of all trains, whether passenger or freight, slowed up , before it came to a stop The tramps saw ‘ the posse, and a wild break for timber on either side of the track was made. MarshallWoods dashed toward the nearest of the tramps, yelling to the posse: “Don’t let one of them escape if possible,” at the same time grabbing a fleeing rascal by the Collar. The tramp turned and let out his right with a vicious swipe, but Woods :wuided the blow, and in a moment had his man by throat on the ground. Nearly every member of the posse had a simi- lar or worse tussle with one or more of the tramps, half a dozen of the dirty ragged scoundrels being; finally captured and bound hand and foot. The train crew who had also endeavored to round up some I of the tramps were not so successful in? their efforts, seven of the desperadoes managing; to escape into the woods. One of these was, however, without doubt badly hurt, a brakeman having hit him on the head with a coupling pin and knocked him down. The wounded tramp's com- panions kept the trainman at bay, and he was carried off by his pals into the woods, the gang swearing they would shoot any- one who dared to follow. As some of them were known to be armed, this threat was sufiicient to keep the brakemen from following. TH E FOUL-MOUTHED 1i ASCALS. While the scrimmage in the dark lasted the tramps kept up a continual stream of oaths, curses and blasphemous exclama- ‘tions. Even after the six prisoners were l secured they continued their abusive talk, spitting in the faces of their captors and swearing they would have bIOody revenge when they regained their liberty. When the train was pullingr slowly out of Portland last. evening the tramps, who had evidenty been lying in wait for it, suddenly appeared and climbed on the cars, Eve entering the caboose and others scattering themselves along the train, while three mounted the engine. The leader, a gigantic ruffian, with a stubby beard all over his face. sh0vinq the engineer aside and taking charge of the , locomotive, the working of which he = evidently understOOd. The gang swore ‘ they would run the train open and were l as good as their word. As freight train 3 No. 54 was only a mile or so ahead the , train crew became alarmed and endeavor- ; ed to dispossess the tramps. The attempt was mad at Fort Recovery, but the tramps - resisted and the crew was worsted, one of --._._a .- TRAMPS CAPTURE A TRAIN. ALMOST BEATEN TO DEATH. Momusrowx. Tenn., Jan. SLR-The trial of Salton Hall, who is said to have killed 99 men, commenced at Gladville, Va.. on Tuesday. The crime for which Hall is now being tried is the murder of Policeman Hylton, of Norton, Va... who had under arrest Miles Bates, Hall’s alleged accomplice. Hall has the reputa- tion of having killed more people than any other living man. He has killed. it is said, i a man in Cattlesburg, Ky., his step-father, 1 three Cousins, ten brothers-in-law, his seCond wife's first husband, and a number of others. He assisted in the killing or wounding of all the members of the Flood county, Va, Jones faction. Shortly after that he killed the sheriff of Floyd county. Dick Nance. the Knott county desperado, was killed by Hall. He threw his half- hrcther Jno. Adams from a window in Cattlesburu, Ky.. and he died from the injuries received. Hall then returned to the mountains and met the Wife of a man named Taylor. Taylor was killed and Hall left with the woman. Soon after- wards he fell in with matthew Turner and killed him. He started to Colbourne,.Va., last No‘ ember. and offered to killmzother man for 535. From there he moved to Norton and killed Policemen Hylton. ‘The sheriff and a large posse are around 1 him to protect him from mob violence, and to defeat his friends, who swear they will release him. Excitement is high, and there is talk of burning the gaol in which i he is confined. A Young Woman Dies of Grief on Re- ceiving a False Report of Her Hus- band’s Deathâ€"Dastardly Trick ofai Rejected Lover. I PARIS, Jan. 31.â€"â€"A tragic afi'air is re-i ported from Lucerne. Switzerland. A young French woman, whose beauty and l other good qualities attracted many suit- 1 ors. accepted as husband an English naval officer. The husband, after a brief honey- l moon, was summoned abroad and joined l . his vessel on a voyage to the East. He 2 ‘ left his bride at Lucerne, promising a speedy return. Not long ago the young wife received a telegram telling her thatl her husband had died of cholera in India. 1 The blow caused her brain to reel, and the ' friends who hastened to console her found I that she was mad. She continually raved about her dead husband and cried out for him to return to life. Her insanity took a suicidal tendency and she poisoned her- self with cyanide. She died and was buried at Lucerne' The wife had been ‘ dead but a few days when her husband, ‘ hearty and well as when heleft her, made ‘ his appearance at the dwelling where they had spent happy days together. The people of the house were astonished when they say him. and at first thought that he had come back from the dead. When convinced that he was really alive they told him of his wife’s death. Wild with grief he proceeded to her grave, where he gave way to a paroxysm of tears. Be- coming quiet, he asserted that it was a former lover of his wife who sent the tel- egram, and threatened revenge. He de- clares he will not rest until his wife's mur- * l derer, as he calls the person he suspects, I . . f | is brought to Justice. A szlomatic Utterance From the Vatican. Lenwnitcur dc Rome. the diplomatic organ of the Vatican, in its last issue, publishes a leader of the highest import- ance bearing upon the pohtical situation in Quebec. This journal is published in French, the language of diplomacy, and is accepted as the organ of the authorities of the church in the eternal city. Its expressions carry great weight, especially with the members of the clergy. The article in question may be taken as ex- pressing the views of the church in the present crisis. The article opens with general considerations on politics in Can- ada and especially in Quebec, and claims: that in the present crisis all the honest and disinterested portion of the population, including the clergy, will instinctively side with the Conservative party. It then eulogizes the Canadian clergy, which, as a rule, does not take part in politics and remains aloof from “the political fray.” Speaking of the fallen Premier. the jour- nal says: “Mr. Mercier has the supple- ’ - - - -- .s 1 , . ‘ ness which makes fora. time the bantering diplomat and the rash gambler. For a long time he has posed as the representa- tive of popular rights and religious inter- ests ” Then the Moniteur expresses its indlgnation that the Liberal press should have made political capital out of the FAVORS RECEIVED FROM HOME and make people believe that the Holy‘ Father approves of all that the man who received them has done. The Moniteur continues: “Certain newspapers have attempted to compromise the cause of the A Desperate Murderer. A TRAGIC END, mam 50 Cents per Year in Advance. Mr. Matthews, the Home Secretrry, in the course of a recent. speech to his con- stituents at Birmingham, urged that the reasons were as strong as eter why their city should, at the next general election, remain a great stznghrld of ['niomsm. What chance Would the loyal Protestant majority in Ireland have of fair play or justice if the control of their country was handed over under Home Rule to either of the twin factions uhich had been fight- ing at Waterford ? \Vhat had been called the English garrison in Ireland would have reason to fear for their lives, proper- ty and faith. [ilsmr men had declared they would fight for these sacred objects, and the result of a Gladstonian majority at the next general elec:ion might be civil war in Ireland envenomed by religious differences. Against the inevitable et ils of Home Rule he contrasted the material improvement in Ireland under the firm, impartial, and fearless rule of Mr. Balfour ,and the Unionists Government for the ‘ past five years. He appealed without hesitation for renewed confidence in the present Ministry, which had pacified Ire- land, lightened taxation. reduced the rates preserved peace, and passed much bene- ficial legislation. A correspondent in the Rossendale Division has received from the Duke of Argyle a letter in which his Grace deals with the statement that a: seperate Irish Parliament would not he allowed to establish protective duties against British manufactures or products of any kind. The Duke contends that there IS a moral certainty on the contrary that if Home Rule were established in Ireland this result would undoubtedly follow. Even if Mr. Gladstone intended to forbid it or to exclude such power. he would be help- less to prevent it as an inevitable con- sequence. But Mr. Gladstone had already done all he possibly could in the opposite direction by openly proclaiming in 1886 that he could not and would not defend this restraint on the Irish Parliament on any ground of principle. A remarkabie case of suicide took place recently at Clonaghrdoo, near Geshill, Queen’s County. A servant girl in the employment of Mr. James Kinsella, farmer. made an attempt to poison two workmen while her employer was absent at a fair, by miningr some sheep dip in a bottle of lemonade. She was discovered while in the act of making,r the deadly concoction, and thereupon swallowed some of the poison herself. One of the men rushed forward to restrain her. but she 1took a loaded gun {tom the wall and threatened to shoot him. The other man rushed for a clergyman; but long before the arrival of the latter the woman ex- pired In great agony. An inquest was l held on the body. and the. jury returned a l verdict in accordance with the evidence. At the County Sessions at Monte, a. girl named Jane Anne Callahan, residing at Clara, County Westmeath, sued the proprietor of the Parnellite newspaper the TVestmeath Indqwcndcnt for damages for alleged libel. In March last defendant’s paper published a. statement that the girls uf Clara were all Parnellities. The girls in the factory in which the plaintiff is engag- ed signed a protest against. the statement that they were in favor of an adulterer, and in a subsequent issue of the paper a letter appeared commenting on the pro- test, and containing. the plaintiff alleged, reflections on her moral character. The case resulted in a. disagreement of the jury. The Dublin Freeman reports 3. dreadful tragedy at Trillick, county Tyrone, where a young man named ansey rose from his bed during the night. and, after sharpening a knife, rushed to the room occupied by a servant named Alice Henderson, and plunged the knife into her body. Her screams broug tassistance. Mumsey fled and was subsequently found in the barn with his throat cut from ear ‘to ear.
