It is thought probable that the miscreants had intended to blowjup Gen. Loudon’s residence, but selected the wrong house. The pavement was deeply excavated, the door was smashel. the ceiling of the corridor fell, the marble steps were torn up and the content; ot the rooms were more or less smashed- A servant 1n the next house was thrown down by the shock.

LONDON, May 2.â€"â€"Ever since Mrs. Flor- ence Ethel Osborne was sentenced to nine months’ imprisonment for her theft of the now world renowned pearls from her friend Mrs. Hargreaves, and her subse- quent perjury in Connection with the libel suit which she brought against Mrs. Har- greaves after being charged with the theft, her friends have exerted every in- fluence to secure her release. Petitions were presented to Mr. Matthews, the Home Secretary, praying for her release, among them being.r one from some of the most prominent physicians of London it was argued by many persons that the state had no right to put the stigma of prison birth upon the child to be born of Mrs. Osborne. This and other arguments were ,brought to bear upon the Home Secretary with the result that he issued an order for Mrs. Osborne’s release. This was served upon the warden of the Holloway prison and she was at once liberated. Capt. Osborne, who had done everything in his power to aid and Comfort his wife. was yesterday at the prison with a carriage. In this Mrs. Osborne was placed and was at once driven to the residence of her hus- band’s parents, No. 5 Almster terrace. During the past week Mrs. Osborne was utterly p1 ostrated and fears were entertained that if she were kept longer in prison it would result fatally to her. The following speech was delivered by Mr. Fairbairn last week during a debate on thisigurbj ec_t :â€" .. _. , 1-1 11.. “If- \Ill SAIL" Nuv vvv - Mr. Faierairn said that until Mr. Mc- Mullen could prove on the floor of the House that the Canadian farmer paid more for his binder twine during the past ten years than the American farmer he had no ‘ case. (Hear, hear.) He had studied this question, and he knew that the American farmer had paid as much for the binder twine during the past 12 years as the Canadian farmer. He had afiidavits to prove what he said. (Hear. hear.) Fault finding and nothing but fault finding was the policy of hon. gentleman opposite. During the last general election Mr. Mul- 1 ock spoke for five hours in his riding, two hours and a half at each meeting. Where Mr. Mulock had spoken all this time on free trade and free binder twine he (Mr. R 10‘ ALVV bow-“v w.-.â€" â€"_-- Fairbairn) had received a majority of 164 in place of a former majority of 7. Then Sir Richard went in there. This gentle- man had gone into a Grit hive the night before the election, and he (Mr. Fairbairn) was sorry that Sir Richard had not come earlier and stayed longer. (Laughter.) Sir Richard had addressed the people there on free trade, continental free trade and free binder twine. In this place he got 16 majority more than the most san- guineConservative ever expected he would receive. (Hear, hear, and cheers.) “I sent Sir Richard a letter,” continued Mr. Fairbairn, “thanking him for the good turn he had done me, and he never an- swered that letter.” (Loud laughter.) Mr. McMillan, of Huron, had also gone there, and stated that the farmers of Can- ada had been boodled and bought to vote against their own interest. As an honest farmer, speaking on behalf of the other honest farmers of his riding, he repudiated that statement. (Hear, hear.) He then read a number of letters to show that the yum ‘v .- farmers of the United States paid just as much for binder twine as the farmers of Canada. He was satisfied that his vote last year on this matter was not against the interest, of the farmer. (Hear, hear.) When the Opposition had to get down to a ball of binder twine for their policy they were at a pretty low ebb. PHIADELPHIA, April 28.â€"The destruct- ion of the Grand Central theatre by fire last night proves to have been far more terrible in its results than was at first be- lieved.

No attempt at recovering the bodies has been permitted as yet owing to the danger- ous condition of the ruins.

OTTAWA, April 29.â€"The long-expected and much-talked-of redistribution bill was introduced to-clay by Sir John Thompson and proves to be framed pretty much on the lines foreshadowed in the World about ten days ago. Toronto gets an additional member by 1 Toronto West being given two representa- tives instead of one ; Algoma is divided, part of it being united to the Sipissing district. and the new electorial district of ‘ Nipissing being created. In order to make these two seats a good deal of carving up of the Niagara penin- sula had been done. North Wentworth and Monck practically disapper and are divided up amongst Haldimand (which will be known as Monck and Haldimand), North Wentworth, (which will be known as North Wentworth and Brant). South Wentworth, Lincoln, Welland and South Norfolk. Clarence Township is taken from Russell and put into Prescott, where, as Sir John Thompson sarcastically observed, it would be united with its friends. ; Haldimand is considerably strengthened for Dr. Montague and Lincoln is made dead sure for Gibson. Tne general effect in Ontario, it is claim- ed to-night by the Grits. will be to make four or five conservative seats pretty safe and to fatten up '1 couple of already fat ‘grit constituencies.

CHEYENNE, Wyo., April 20.â€"â€"Particu- lets have been received of the killing of two desperate horse thieves, Got Spencer and Jack Burnett, at Jackson, in the extreme north-western portion of the state. The men were killed by four deputy sheriffs, headed by J. H. Holland, and 50 horses stolen from the big Horn country in Montana were found at. their rendez- vous. The journey to the horse thieves’ fl __L4.1- VUUD- LA»; J\vâ€".-â€"_-~J -V camp, which is fifty miles from any settle- ment, was made on snow shoes, and, on the evening of the third day, the oflicers came within sight of it. While in hiding they saw Got Spencer enter the cabm. and, as soon as night came, the house was sur- rounded hy the officers. At dav-break the cabin door opened and Spencer came out and went towards the stable. He was told to surrender. and replied by empty- ing: his six shooter at his wonld:be captors.

As he was known to be one of the best shots in the country the deputies entrenched themselves behind a. ridge. After two dozen shots were fired Burnett was given a. chance to surrender, but he refused, and a bullet through his body settled the career of one of the most notorious horse thieves of the Northwest.
