It was a knock down revelation to the victimized shareholders of the Panama company, who will not bslieve that they are hopelessly ruined. They count on the French Chamber to save them at the eleventh hour, and looked forward to the Americans stepping in on the stroke of twelvo to make a lump bid for the plant, and all vendable rights of the insolvent company. But the Americans clearly will not require a second canal across the Isthamus. Panama Canal Shareholders Startled Ov*r the Nicaragua Canal Pi-ogrea*.

THS ORIGINAL AND POPULAR CLAYTON NORTH, ONE PRICE CLOTHIER, Murder, from the Pulpit. He Defends Mrs. Montneu, Accused of Belfast, Feb. 23.—A decided sensation has been created at Portrush, live miles from Coleraine, by the action of the parish priest, Father McDonogh, who Snnday warmly espoused tho cause of Mrs. Ann Margaret Montagu, accused of feloniously slaying her little daughter by causing its death irom suffocation. Mrs. Montagu, it will be remembered, fasted the arms of her child, who was confined in a dark room by the governess, behind her back and then tied her to a ring in the wall; some three hours later, the little girl was found suffocated, it being inferred that a stocking, used in blinding tho child, slipped around her neck and that it caused death by strangulation.Mrs. Montagu is now out on bail, pending her trial upon the charge mentioned. ... . Father McDonogh, in tho pariah church at Portrush, after mass, declared that the Coroner's jury which heard the evidence furnished against Mrs. Montagu and which found her guilty of causing her child's death was composed entirely of Protestants and that tliey were persecuting the lady referred, to on account of her religion. Mrs. Montagu, Father McDonogh added, attended mass regularly and, he said, the healthy, happy appearance of her children was generally noted and most favorably commented upon. According to Father McDonogh, sb® was peculiar in her manners and a believer In strict discipline; but, there «H no reason to believe tliaf. she so illtreated her child as to cause its death. Continuing, the priest remarked that Mrs. Montagu was a lady who did not know what fear was, as she had frequently shown by her daring conduct in the hunting field. Finally, Father McDonogh expressed the opinion that the Montagus were tho victims of a conspiracy, the object of which was to persecute them on mount of their religion. The utterances of Father Mcvonogn are being much commented uptn, and will be called to the attention of his bishop.  Appropriation For th* Otrnis Ksil.
