DURHAM, June 2nd, 1898. The address made by .Sir \Vilfrid Laurier in moving the resolution of condolence to Mrs. Gladstone on the death of her husband, the Right Hon. William Ewart Gladstone, is charac- terised as one of the finest pieces of oratory ever delivered on the floors of the Canadian Parliament. The clear cut review of his whole career,‘ his political changes, his connection with the different parliarr.cntary measures, his Irish Land Bill, and the reference to every great action of the greatest statesman of the century showed the minute knowledge the speaker had of Mr. Gladstone’s polit- ical life. The motion was briefly seconded by Sir Charles Tupper who did not think it well to go into a lengthy panegyric of the life and character of the deceased statesman. THE CHRONICLE. Mrs. Sternaman, who was acquit- ted after her second trial for the al- leged poisoning of her husband, is again wanted by Mr. Chas. D. Rob- erts, inSpector of the MetrOpolitan Insurance Co., of New York. It ap- pears that Mrs. Starnaman held a thousand dollar policy in The Metro- politan (30., on her husband’s life. Part. of this she transferred to Attor- ney 'I‘liayer, of Buffalo. who fought the extradition proceedings for her, and part to Mr. \V. M. German, M. A. I The came reDOl‘FS uni part to Mr. \V. M. German, M. P. P., of Welland. Mr. German is not taking much interest in the mat- nr, but Mr. Thaver threatens to push his claim in which the Company will set up an absolute defence of murder if be case is brought into court.

Tom Nulty wasn’t satisfied because he was not. married and Hammond wasn’t satis- fied because he was, and so it is. Strange as it may seem, a large per- centage of the human family is bound to he dissatisfied any way. No doubt in this case too agreat deal of human sympathy will go out for the con- demned wretch. A petition may be circulated for a commutation of the death sentence, but why should it be" so ‘9 Hammond will be just as well prepared Sept. 15th as at any other time, with the additional advantage of knowing when he’ll be wanted. opinion that if capital punishment be right, the decision of the court in most cases should not be influenced by the sickly sentimentality that has too often spared the lives of murder- ers, and served as an incentive to others to commit like crimes. The story of Hammond's crime may be briefly stated as follows: On the evening of March 6th, 1896, Ham- mend was out with his wife and took her to his home. As he was bidding her good night he gave her a dose of prussic acid, and the unfortunate! woman fell dead within a short dis-1 tance of his door. His weeping over her dead body only adds gravity to the crime. He purchased the poison ; in a drug store. and on being ques- tioned said he threw it away, but the bottle was subsequently found, un- corked and empty. A full bottle was found later in the snow. but as this lwas not the one purchased at the drug store it only added evidence of .crime. A life insurance was the Colin Blyth, of Normanby, procur- ed a number of fish from over the border to stock his fish pond, but a mistake was made in not having the fish supplied with fresh water on thel way as the consignment was delayed and most of the fish were dead on aro rival.

Fishers will need to he careful and not im- pose on Mr. Blyth by molesting his imported beauties for a few years un- til they become plentiful.
