The m ' ticn was seconded and opened for debate. Up to this time everything went on smoothly, but the slumbering fires were destined to burst forth. Mr. Horner Brooks opened the debate by casting insinuations about the plans, architect, etc. Quite an exciting debate followed, in which the most bitter personalities were used.

Chicago, May 4.—Those who attended the session ofthe Carter case expecting to hear further testimony of a spicy nature were disappointed until near the close of the session, for the day was mainly devoted to the showing up of Mrs. Carter's expenditures while in Europe. Judge Jamieson refused to permit Mrs. Carter's attorney to strike from her amended bill her allegation that Carter refused to supply her with money to go to Europe, and that therefore she was obliged to sell her wardrobe and obtain money from a lady friend—Mrs. William Constable, Jr.— and her mother. In regard to Kilrain's alleged bankruptcy, as reported in a morning newspaper, Archie Sinclair, who is credited with circulating the story, said that current rumor in England was to the effect that Kilrain spent his money as fast as he got it, and that he lost most of it playing the races. Most serious damage was done to the seminary buildings, while the Presbyterian church structure was practically ruined. The country in the vicinity contains hundreds of acres devoted to the production of early strawberries, and an immense loss was caused there by the cutting hail, which fell t» the depth of several inches. counts.

Kilrain's American backer states further that he is prepared to furnish Jake with ail the funds needed. In response to the cable dispatch sent to Mr. Atkinson Mr. Richard K Fox received a reply denying that Kilrain was short of funds and drinking heavily. The Provincial Bank Frauds. Gen. Louis Fitzgerald, who is treasurer of the general committee, said: What Gen. Fitzgerald Says. London, May 4—The Dublin bankruptcy court is pursuing an examination into the Provincial bank frauds which a short time ago created so much excitement in the Irish capital. The brokers to whom the pilfered money was paitl were subpeenaed as witnesses, and excused their acceptance of large sums of money in notes across the counter of the bank by the plea that they believed that the defaulter, Ross Todd, had married a lady with a large fortune and that the money they received from him was his own. The testimony taken shows that £25,000 of the £27,- 000 embezzled by Todd was paid over the bank counter to five brokers. "That's a lie, it's a lie," cried Mr. Palmer, bursting with rage and indignation. FOUR CHILDREN PERISH, More Depositions Read.

The defence wanted to show that Mrs. Carter could not have been ill at that time, as she claimed, it she was able to go out rowing at 6 o'clock in the morning. Mrs. Gray, an employe at one of the cottages at Cooperstown, deposed that in the summer of 1885 or 1880—she could not remember which yearshe saw Mrs. Carter and Mr. Constable enter a boat early in the morning with a maid, who carried a lunch basket. They all rowed out into the lake, the witness said that she did not see Mr*. Carter and Mr. Constable return until about 7 o'clock in the evening. Mrs. Gray said she could not say that when she saw Mrs. Carter and Constable return at night they had just come from their lake trip. They might have been in the village all day. JOHN SCRIMGEOUR, Baltimore, May 4.—A distressing accident by which four children of Charles Williams, whose ages ranged from 6 to 15 years, were burned to death, took place at Abingdon, near Hartford station, on the Baltimore and Ohio railroad. The family, consisting of husband wife and five children, retired to rest at about 10 o'cloek. Au hour later neighbors saw the house burning and made ineffectual efforts to quench the flames. Mr. and Mrs. Williams escaped with the baby, who will probably die. The parents, seriously burned themselves, stood watching the Are which was approaching their sleeping children.

Mr. Brooks' ire was raised to a white heat at this. "I am that eighth member," he said, "and I intend to have my say. If seve i of the members of the consistory are jackasses, I'm not." This outburst was a dead surprise, but half a doxen were on their feet at once ready to continue the battle. At this stage of the proceedings several ladies left the building and a look of disgust was depicted on every face. Many opinions were expressed, mostly to Mr. Brook's discredit"I can't tell anything about it, but if there should be a lack of funds to pay the bills I think private individuals will willingly come forward to make up the deficiency.

Jersev Citt, May 4.—The fire commissioners and the board of public works had an audience with the grand jury. The members of the latter board and Chief Engineer Bert, ot the L V. R. R. Co., were asked to explain what had been done with the paving stones taken up when the Lehigh Valley tracks were laid across Washington street south ol the gap. Mr. Bert ana the commissioners refused to be interviewed in relation to the matter, but it is said that the stones were satisfactorily accounted for, and that Mr. Tumulty, instead of deserving the censure he has received in connection with the removal of the stones, really should receive credit for rescuing them from the railroaders. Asked to Explain. London, May 4.—The cross-examination of Mr. Parnell was continued before the Parnell commission. Mr. Parnell testified that he had often reproved William O'Brien, editor of United Ireland, for the violent articles that appeared in that paper. He had not publicly repudiated the articles, because he did not consider that to be the way to effect the alterations he desired in the tone of the articles. Mr. Parnell said he considered Mr. O'Brien's teachings to be in advance of his own. Mr. Parnell denied that he knew "Number One," either under the name of Tynan or any other name, and said that he had never beard of Mr. Egan's being associated with "The Martyrs' Fund," for the benefit of the families of the Phoenix Park murderers.
