Mr. Mackenzie was married twice, l'llS first wife being Miss Helen Neil of Irvine Scotland. She died in 1852, and in 1853 he married Miss Jane Syn), who still sur- vives. By his first wife he had one daughter, who is married to the Rev. John Thompson, Presbyterian minister of Sarnia. In April, 1879, shortly after the change of leadership took place, the first symp- toms of disease made their appearance in a partial loss of speech, followed by loss of power in the left side. These symptoms did not improve, but rather steadily ad- vanced, the infirmity of speech increasing in its severity. Mr. Mackenzie, however was able to attend parliament and to his other duties until Feb. 2, 1892. When about to enter his carriage to go to his oflice he fell and was carried into the house. when it was found that the loss of power and motion was complete on the left side, and to a lesser extent on the right side; also partial loss of sensation. His articulation became more indistinct and difficult to understand. He seemed to improve somewhat occasionallyuntil about four weeks ago, when his mind he- came impaired, but he would answer questions correctly occasionally. _ ,t L2- :l‘nnam rn u-~-â€"'__ During a great portion of his illness to within a few days of his death he was able to take some food and enjoy it.

BERLIN, April 18.-â€"â€"The criminal court in Oldenburg has condemned the Luther- an pastor, Muller, to 14 years’ hard labor for embezzlement, obtaining money by false pretences and forgery. The trial has been one of the most notable in recent years. More than 50 witnesses were summoned to testify to their losses through Muller, 'and about 75 more were ready to testify, but were not called upon, as the case against the pastor was complete without them. It was shown at. the trial that Muller began swindling‘ his parishioners as soon as he settled in a village near Oldenburg several years ago, and that he had con- tinued the practice without intermission until fear exposure induced him to flee. He told the peasants that he could invest their money for them at a large rate of interest in Berlin, and more than 100 of the petty land-owners and shopkeepers entrunsted to him sums varying between 1000 and 1500 marks. He induced the parish to buy a. lot next to the church for 30,000 marks on representation that the Roman Catholics were about to buy it. He collected the purchase twice, but paid only 10,000 to the seller, saying that the _ ' 'l' ' ' ‘ ‘ , 7-â€"Aâ€"_ A“ Una-J .Lv,vvv rest would be paid in instalments. As secretary of the church council in Olden- burg, the councillors testified he manu- factured an incorporated in the records of the meetings resolutions authorizing him to collect large sums. He made the ‘ collections, but spent the money in wild living in Berlin, during his occasional visits to the city. Altogether he obtain- ed about 350,000 marks. The constable ‘who arrested him testified that Muller, after his flight and before his arrest, spent thousands on fast women, posing as a wealthy horse-breeder, and when caught 4 -.__L_- In.

His lordship, in addressing the grand jury, congratulat- ed the county on the absence of crime, and directed the attention of the grand jury to the question of the necessity of erecting poorhouses, as he found in other counties that persons whose only offence was being poor were put in jail and treated as criminals, which he characterized as a disgrace to civilization, and he hoped it. i was not the practice in this county.

MADRID, April 17.â€"A most horrible deed was committed on Friday in a. church at Anglesola, a village in the Province of Lerida. The usual services of Good Fri- day were being observed, and the church was filled to its utmost capacity with de- vout worshippers. Everything was calm as became the solemn ceremonies, and Father Francisco Marti, the priest in charge of the parish, was kneeling at the altar. Suddenly, and without a word oil warning, a man armed with a revolver and a short sword sprang out from behind the pulpit at the left of the altar, where he had been concealed and leaped on the priest, brandishing his sword. The man’s eyes fairly blazed with insane fury, and his appearance indicated that he was mad and bent on murder. The people in the congregation were struck dumb with terror. and not one of them could make a doom impending. Even had they been able to attempt to reach him it is believed their efforts to save him would have been unavailing. Father Marti, whose back was to the congregation, seemed to have 1m: inntinctive warning that danger AMA‘dg movement to save the priest from the! had instinctive warning SPRING ASSIZES, Arresr of the Murderer. left discussing the imes as related by :e the judge said we on the bench such abandoned 50 Cents per Year in Advance threatened him, and be partly turned his head in the direction of the man, but he was too late to do more than to raise his hand to ward ofi‘ the sword blow he saw aimed at him. The man stood M'er his kneeling victim, the bright steel flashed in a circling blow, and in an inst-mt the priest lay dead in front of the altar where he bad So long served. The assassin's blow had struck the back of his neck, and the keenblade almost severed his head from his body The Corpse fell forward, and a Stream of blood poured down the altar steps. Part of the hand of the priest, which had been raised in his vain effort to Ward ofl" the blow, was cut of. and lay beside the bleeding body. Women shrieked in terror and many of them fainted. Some few of the more cool- headed men attempted to seize the mur- iderer, but they were thwarted by the lassassin, who had undoubtedly armed himself with a revolver for just such a. Contingency. Levelling this weapon he fired right and left, and drove. his would- be captors to seek safety in flight. One wmnan shrieking and crouching close to the altar rails, was hit bv one of the bullets. She uttered a most piercing shriek, threw up her hands, and fell dead Ellllcn, LAILU'I ur ..v_ _--s-,,,-, to the floor. The worshippers were panic-stricken. A general rush was made for the doors. and many of the people were thrown down and trampled upon by the excited throng behind them. Several of them were seriously injured in this manner, among the number some children who it is believed will die. The insane man, whose revolver was now emptied, sprang into the flying crowd, and wield- ing lllS sword, still dripping with the blood of the massacred priest, he slashed right and left,cutting his way to the street. The crowd huddled closer together to avoid the vicious blcws aimed at them, making as far as possible a clear path for the murderer,quite a number of them were hit by the sharp weapon and dangerously wounded. Once he reached the street the assassin started on a run and soon vanish- ed. '1‘he civil guard was alarmed by the frightened people and a pursuit was immediately organized. The village was thoroughly searched and members of the :ivil guard were sent to scour the sur- rounding country. Thus far every effort to capture the murderer has been in vain but the search has not been abandoned. By a. full description1given of the murder- ‘»-1 A_ - _-....AJ ”J u nu..- â€"'~'__r, er he has been indentified as a retired soldier. The affair has caused a widespread sorrow and indignation, and the whole village of Anglesola is in mourning for Father Marti, who was universilly loved and respected by his parishioners. It is thought probably that the assassin has sought some secluded place, and there killed himself: No reason is known for the crime, it is believed by almost every- ‘ one that the man was insane. A man named Alswa, who is indentified as the assassin who took Father Marti’s life, has been arrested. SAN FRANCISCO, April 15.â€"An applica- tion for the pardon of John McAdoo, who was sent to San Quentin prison for ten years for shooting his brother-in-law, has revealed a sentimental story of great: interest. McAdoo a London drayman, lived an honest, industrious life in Stock- ton for many years. He bought a small home and was happy with his wife and child. Twelve years ago he gave his brother-in-law, John Hamilton, the money to purchase half of a lot in the cemetery. Hamilton bought the lot and had the deed made out in his own name. Two ears later McAdoo’s wife died suddenly, and then the bereaved husband went to Hamilton to ask in what side of the cemetery lot he should bury his wife. Hamllton fiatly denied that McAdoo had :any interest in the lot, and spoke so ; insultinglv about his‘dead sister that Mc- M ___1___ -__1 Lu.) us bhtoan , w--â€" Adoo in a passion drew a. revolver and shot him in the lggr. McAdoo was tried a-v .......... for assault with intent to kill, was con- victed, and sent to prison for ten years. From the first he refused to tell the real cause of the quarrel. McAdoo’s little girl was sent to an orphan asylum. After staying in San Quentin for two years. Mc- Adoo managed to escape one day during a hard rain. He came to this city, obtained help from a relative, took his child out of the asylum, and went boldly t3 stockton under an assumed name. He had aged so in his prison life that none of his old 1 friends recosznized him. In Stockton he l laboured for seven years to give his girl a. a good education, and saw her happily married. One day last month he was recognized by a prison official and was taken back to San Quentin. A great deal of sympathy has been created for him here and it is likely he will soon be released from prison.
