Heretofore there has been little else but prose. The poetry made its appearance in the cross-examination of State Senator James F. Pearce, of Brooklyn. He denied thathe ever committed any impropri-3ty with Mrs. Carter, or that he stood in the doorway of Mrs. Carter's room at the Cooper house late at night with his hat in his hand talking to Mrs. Carter, who was in her robe de nuifc. Her In Verse. He Stands by His Speech in Hamilton, Ont., May a—The funeral of the eleven unidentified bodies of the victims of the recent railroad disaster near this city has taken place. Flags floated at half mast from the principal business establishments and several places of business throughout the city were closed. The public schools and civic offices were closed in the afternoon, and thousands of citizens witnessed the funeral procession. The adult vfctims were encased in the best black caskets and the two children were placed in white ones. Many beautiful tributes were sent by sympathetic citi/.jna. Eleven hearses were drawn up is front of the funeral emporium and two sets of pall bearers, the one composed of the different heads of departments of the Grand Trunk road and the other composed of members from the city council, bore the caskets to the heart's. Ministers from five different denominations conducted the funeral services. One large grave was made the receptacle of the eleven caskets, but they were so arranged that sin: Inches of earth was placed between each casket. Mrs. Mary Smith, of San Francisco, and her two children, aged 14 and 0, are believed to be among those interred. Grind Trunk Road Disaster.

Washinoton, May 8. — At the cabinet meeting yesterday it was finally determined that Frank W. Palmer, of Chicago, should be appointed public printer, and William M. Mer.d.th, of Chicago, chief of the bureau of engraving and printing. These two offices have given the administration more trouble than any others. President Harrison announced immediately after his inauguration that he intended to make a change in the office of public printer at a very early date. Days and weeks went by and the office was not fiilcd. There were so many candidates and it was so difficult to make a choice between them that the president postponed the settlement of the question. London, May 8.—When Mr. Parnell appeared before the Parnell commission he surprised the court by stating that he wished to make a correction in the testimony he had given last Friday, when be stated that he had misled the house of commons in regard to secret societies in Ireland. Allen town, Pa., May 8.—A strategic or a most aggressive movement has been made by the Thomas Iron company, one of the leading iron corporations of this state, within a very brief period. It seems to be leveled at the southern producers of pig iron. Yet its consequences to the smaller furnaces in this valley, and in fact all over the state, can scarcely be estimated. It is a well known fact lhat iron cannot be drawn from the furnace in Pennsylvania for le.-s than $12 or $13 a ton, and Mr. Carnegie says that the blast furnaces of the south can produce it for $9 a ton. Iron in this valley is made from anthracite coal, aud, thus produced, is worth perhaps fifty c.-nts a to.i fnore than iron made from bituminous coaL But, giving the be3t advantage to the Pennsylvania producer, the southern iron master has a Iceway of $2 per ton over the local furnace man in this sta e. At this point the poetry made Its appearance. It was an original verse by Mr. Pearce, addressed to Mrs. Carter at the Fifth Avenue hotel, New York. It was four J in an envelope, dated Sept. 27, 1883, 10:3*0 p.m. This is the effusion: JARCK'S But darest thou? Tliy little hand in mine Mr. Parnell said that upon referring to Hansard's report of the house of commons speech in question, he found that the remarks which Sir Richard Webster quoted on Friday referred particularly to Ribbonism and Ribbon societies, and not to secret societies generally.

Copt. Meredith, of Chicago, finally withdrew from the race on the assurance that he would be made chief of the bureau of engraving and printing. Then a new candidate for the office sprang up in the person of ex-Repre entative Fr .nk W. Palmer, of Chicago, formerly postmaster there and at one time one of the owners of The Chicago Inter Ocean. Mr. Palmer has been the proprietor of papers in Dubuque and Des Moines, la., and lie had the support of the Iowa delegation, added to that of the Illinois senators. Providence, R. L, May 8.—At 2:15 p. m. yesterday three men were badly hurt in testing a passenger elevator built in the new Swartz building here. The elevator was cut loose and allowed to fall five stories, sixtyfive feet, to an air tight vault which, it was supposed, would break the fall so gradually as to insure the safety of the passengers. Superintendent of Construction A. C, Cod* nell, Mr. Jones, the manage!*, and Jacob Rosenfeld, a reporter, were in the elivator, which when released fell with fearful velocity. When it reached the bottom the three men were lying on the floor of the car insensible, with their heads cut open. The injuries may prove fatal, as all suffered severe spinal shocks. Jones was ki.led. Mr. Depew said further that in his opinion foreign roads, whether Canadian or Mexican, should be obliged to conform to the laws of the United States. needs Sir Richard Webster then proceeded with the cross-examination of the witness.

Dr. Gilbert was quite positive that Mrs. Carter was in bed and in very bad health after April I, 1884. It was at this time lhat Mrs. Carter was traveling back and forth at Lake wood, N. Y., and Old Point Comfort, and writing her husband that she was in splendid health and was kept east by the tardiness of her dressmaker. It was at this time also that Mrs. Carter got that "ugly" telegram from Leslie tolling her to "Come home by the first train you can get."  Mr. Parnell said that he had never heard that LOO guineas had been paid for the defense of Moonlighters at the Cork assizes in 2881. The general impression has been tl at freight from the sou h to the north wou'.d help the Pennsylvania producer out, but the fact is that the iron man in Georgia and Alabama pays only from 28 to 40 c\)uts per ton more for transportation to the seaboard than the producer in the Lehigh valley, who is within three hours or tide wat jr. For a long time the people in this locality, as well as in other sections of Pennsylvania, have been struggling against the inevitable. Added to the menace of cheip iron from the south comes the new proce: s of making steel direct from the puddling furnac3 or from pig iron in its cold stit-\ But the latter improvement is not yet thoroughly p3rfecteJ, and the serious difficulty in the way of the Pennsylvania producer just now is the cheap product from the south, which can be put at t.de water or Sandy Hook at $1.50 less a ton than any Pennsylvania iron, adding 50 cents for the extra value of anthracite over bituminous made iron.

If he had been asked to make such payments the witness said that, ia those days, he should have approved of doing so for the defense of the men, if he had reason to believe that the law was being strained against a man.

"Stuff" it was called by the Amoy commissioner of customs in his last year's annual report, and he added that the fctuff "was alone wanted in America." "This is," Consul Crowell says, "unfortunately true, for nearly the whole crop of Amoy oolong—bad and often unfit for use as they are—are annually marketed in tlie United States. The American people are better able to use and pay for a good article of tea than the people of any other nation. I am certain it is not the tea drinking public in the United States that causes this inferior stuff to find a market only in America. It is the greed of importers and exporters that alone makes it possible to impose this vile stuff by excessive courtesy called tea upon the Amei ican public.  How Clitna Gets tlie IleMer of Us.

He had no objection whatsoever to an inspection of his private accounts. In answer to a question regarding the physical force advocates, Mr. Parnell said the majority of the physical force party were utter strangers to him. He had never heard that Mr. Eagan had joined the Clan-na-Gael, and would regret exceedingly to find that gentleman rejoining the ranks of the physical forces. Mr. Parnell said he could not accept the reports of his American speeches published in The Irish World as in any degree accurate. Mr. Ford, the editor of that paper, garble I speeches to suit the tastes of the readers of The World. He declared that any member of the league who shall advocate the use of dynamite would be a traitor. Buffalo, Duk., May 8.—The most destructive storm ever experienced in this pection passed over this place. The storm commenced about 7 o'clock and at 2 p.m. assumed the f irm of a hurricane, doing great damage to crops and unroofing elevators and large blocks. Grain which was well up was torn out by the roots, and that which was not up was buried so deep that it will be lost. Between 9 and 10 o'clock heavy thunder and sharp lightning accompanied the storm, which continued nearly two hours. About midnight the sky cleared away and it turned very warm, the thermometer standing at 65 degs. The damage done to buildings and crops cannat now be estimated, but will reach tens of thousands of dollars. A Most Destructive Hurricane.

Chicago, May 8.—No new developments in the Cronin case have been made. The police authorities are so well satisfied that the affair partakes of the nature of a preconcerted sensation that they have practically abandoned all effort to trace down the missing man. A leading attache of the detective department said that within eighteen hours Dr. Cronin would be located. In Irish nationalist circles considerablo amusement was created by the receipt of a dispatch signed tfy John Devoy, Breslin and others offering a reward for the detection of those responsible for Dr. Cronin's "assassination." Outside of the Conklins, with whom Cronin has boarded for years, nobody can be found willing to father the opinion that he has met w.th foul play. The affair has reached the ludicrous level of the betting arena, and last night at the sport ng resorts the odds were 20 to 3 that the missing man would turn up in the flush within a week.

Allentown has its hand on the sensitive pulse of the iron trade, and it naturally feels all of its pulsations. Therefore, not only this city, but this whole valley, if not the state, is to be deeply affected by the action of the Thomas Iron company in declaring a reduction of $1 a ton on No. 1 X and No. 2 X iron. While the Thomas company is not entirely the master of this valley, its action affects every other establishment of the same character. Of course, the other big corporations stand by Its action, but the small furnaces owned by individual operators must go out of blast, because they cannot make iron at the price scheduled by the king of companies.

Upon this matter, under an express statute, Judge Scudder must within ten days make a summary investigation of the county accounts, or else order a commission to do so. This latter will probably be his course. The presentation of these depositions is the culmination of many attempts to secure an investigation of the manner in which the public funds have been spent. For many months there have been rumors of illegal expenditures. Several times attempts have been made to get an investigation, but without avail.

Nuturally, the commercial interests of this section, which means every section of the state similarly affected, takes the workingman's view of the situation because it is from him that they derive their trade. Hence there is great dissatisfaction and much complaint that this great company should have inaugurated this battle now.
