The lett lung was normal size, with some tubercules scattered through. This lung | apparently did the whole work of respira- tion. There was no visible discoloration on any part of the body. The body was very much emaciated. I consider the pur- ple discoloration of the intestines to be due to inflammation. The inflammation seemed to be local. There was no per- foration of the bowel. I don’t know that death was due to violence. I believe that peritonitis was the immediate cause of death. Idid not see any sign or reason | for believing that the woman had received

| any blow or external violence. | This closed the evidence, and after chout an bLour’e deliberation the jury

returned the following verdict :—

| That the deceased, Isabella Murchison, came to her death from the efivcts chronic illness, and that her death, in the opinion ef this jury, was very waterially hastened on account of the assault and disturbance caused on the night of Dec- ember 8th, 1893.”

THE PLEBISCITE IN ONTARIO.

The Opinions of the Leading Papers. |

Torox7o, Jan. 3.

The Globe, commenting on the plebia- c.le vote, says :

“It is impossible to argue that satisfac- tory reason has not been given of a senti- ment in Ontario favorable to total prohi- bition of the manufacture, sale and impor tation of intoxicants.”

The Empire says :

“We have not at hand the actual reaults of the plebiseite ou prohibition; but enough is known of the returns to prove that ihe total vote fall considerably below the num- ber who exercised the franchise purposes. This indicates pretty clearly that the plebiscite was looked upon by not a few asa pieee of political humbug in- terided by the Ontario Government as a means of deluding the people and escap- ing from an awkward position.

THE BANK OF ENGLAND

Must Change its Methods—or Fail.

Loypoy, Jan. 3.

The Investors’ Review publishes “an alarmist article on the Bank of England, in which it makes a somewhat severe at- tack upon the governors and courts of the Bank. It predicts that unless a change is made in the Bank’s methods of business a financial crisis will be brougat about, com- pared with which the recent Baring failu e will be of small importance.

DISTRESS IN

THE UNITED STATES,

A-late despatch from Boston says:

Each day the plans of the Citizens’ Relief Committee are beginning to assume more

definite shape, and to-morrow will see a practical beginning. Superintendent of Streets Carter has awarded ten contracts for the laying of sewere, each of which will give employment to twenty men. According to the plan of the comumittce the 200 men called for by these contracts will be doubled by having two sets of men, each working three days in the week and receiving $1.50 per day. Four hundred men went to work to-day,

The men -vho work on the streets will probably be given six days on and six days off, and the pay will be $1.50 a day. As a week of work will alternate with a week of idleness the pay will average only $4.50 a week. This plan is the beginning of a work that will be carried on on an ela borate seale and which, it is believed, will insure to every citizen of Boston a living during the winter months. As many as a dozen organizations have the matter in hand, and all will operate on similar lines.

Subscription? to the fund for the relief of the unemployed by Kidder, Peabody & Company now amount to $23,000. A new charity was instituted to-day in the rooms of the Union Rescue mission, which fnr- nishes meals at the nominal price of five cents, Jt is supported by business men and seems to.be a success.

A Chicago despatch states that hard times have come upon the retail clerks of that city in a manner never before exper- ienced. Nearly 6,000 men and women who lad been working in the various mereantile estahlishmenta of the city have been thrown out of employment since the close of the holiday season. This number comprises at icast 3,500 women and girls, whose,salaries have not averaged more than 5 per week.
