Congressman Kennedy printed his famous
attack on Quay and the Senate in the Sun

ment is tbe same, but there are a few changes

thinks will make the document strictly
parliamentary. The outcome in the House

SPECIAL TELECIIAJI TO TUX DISPATCH
"Washington, September 14. The re
vised edition of "King Bob" Kennedy's
speech attacking the Senate in general and
Matthew Stanley Quay in particular ap
peared in to-day's issue of the Congressional
Jleccrd. The Ohio Congressman took every
precaution to prevent any advance warning
of its publication. Instead of handing his
manuscript to the official reporters while
the Honse was in session, and when some
one would have surely seen him, he slipped
Quietly into the reporters' rooms down stairs
and dropped the speech into a copy basket
without saying a word to anybody.
The appearance of the manuscript, it is
understood, indicates that Mr. Kennedy has
lost none of the "nerve" which enabled him
to deliver his speech in the first inslance.
The speech, as it appears in the Govern
ment's official publication ot the proceed
ings ot Congress, differs from tbe speech as
originallv delivered in tbe elimination of
certain passages which, it has been asserted,
were contrary to parliamentary- rules and
usages.
Ziardlr Irss Heicc In Tone
j.ne revisca speecn is naraiy less severe
man as originally aeuverea, Dut it is (be
lieved by the Congressmen from Ohio to be
now in conformity with the rules ft the
House governing criticisms in defcee of the
other branch of the legislature. Tbe first
part of the speech, which was dcoted to the
official election bill, is unchangr L.
Coming down to the attack -jn Senator
Quay a change is made in the v xt referring
to the high character aud standijg of "Web
ster, Clay, Fessenden and "Wade. Then,
after declaring that Ohio ban twice within a
decade been disgraced by Senators chosen
"simply because they were able to outbid
other contestants," there is this sentence:
"Surely the cloak of Senatorial courtesv
has been used to hide the infamy and the
corruption which has dishonored and dis
graced a body which was once the proudest
in the land."
Tlio Monch ffcm to llato Vanished.
Tnis is the only reference to the "cloak of
Senatorial courtesy," all that partdcclaring
that Senatorial courtesy had become a stench
in the nostrils of the people and a cloak to
cover up infamies being omitted.
The onlv changes made so far as Senator
Quay is concerned consist in the erasure of
the word "criminal" where it occurs in the
two places, and the omission of all mention
of Senator Quay by name.
"Where it was suggested in the original
speech that Judas, when he hanged himself,
had left "An example for the Matt Quays
that it is well worthy of their imitation,"
there is substituted therefor the following:
"An example well worthy of imitation."
The Brnnded Crlmlnnl Not in It.
The sentence: "The Republican party
cannot afford to follow the lead of a branded
criminal" is struck out altogether, and
later on where it was said: "He stands a
convicted criminal before the bar of public
omnion," a change is made so as to read:
"He stands convicted before the bar of
public opinion."
It now remains to be seen whether the
Pennsylvania delegation in the House will
concur with Mr. Kennedy in the decision
that these changes bring the speech within
the rules. The events of to-morrow's session
in this connection will be awaited with con
siderable interest.
It U learned that there is much truth in
the statement recently made that Mr. Clark
son will soon succeed Senator Quay as
Chairman of the National Republican Com
mittee. President Harrison is quite willing
to have Mr. Quay retire, and he said to a
member of the House the day before he
went to Cresson that he was not at all pleased
at Senator Quay's silence under the charges
that have been made against him in the
newspapers and repeated with such force in
the House by Representative Kennedy.
Harrison Anxious for on Amwc".
Tbe President said that he does not wish
to have Mr. Quay retire under fire, but he
would very much like to have him reply to
Kennedy and then resign the chairmanship
to make way for Mr. Clarkson. It is said
that Senator Quay is preparing a reply to
Kennedy's speech, and that it is in the line
of a vindication of himself. Whether it
proves to be a satisfactory vindication or
not, his enemies III probably continue
their efforts to force him from the National
Ittmmutee. i
come to the front Since he was placed in
charge of the work of the Congressional
Campaign Committee over the head of Mr.
Beldin, the estimable Chairman, tbe work
has been fairly humming. The surprising
result in Maine and the retirement of so
many Democrats in the Sonth by the Farm
ers' Alliance has, strangely enough, come
to be looked npon a a feather in the cap of
the Bepublican Congressional Committee,
and its real head, Mr. Clarkson, is regarded
as the Republican hero of the hour.

"Washington, September 14. From all
the information that can be gained about
the arrival of the members to-day, it does
not seem probable that a quorum of tbe
House will be in their seats to-morrow.
Very few of the absent ones have come in
to-day, and unless there is an unlooked-for
number of arrivals to-night and to-morrow
morning, another day will pass without any
progress being made.
Some of the minority members of the
Committee nn "Ways and Means have been
seen by members of the majority in regard
to the time to be spent in debate on the tariff
bill before that measure is sent to a confer
ence committee, but no conclusion has been
reached. The minority of course want more
time than the majority are willing to give.
A Compromise on Time Probable.
They would like to have a week or so, but
it is probable a compromise will be made
on tbe basis of a day or two at most. The
majority are of the opinion that all that is
necessary to say can be said in one day, with
an evening session, and it is just possible
they may insist on concluding the debate in
that time, but tbe disposition of many Re
publicans outside of the committee is to be
quite liberal, as this is the last chance the
Democrats will have at the tariff bill for
some time. Nearly everybody would like
to consume bis five minutes touching some
portion ot the bill, and many of the leaders
ot both sides expect to occupy much more
time than that by inducing members who
are not anxious to speak to give them their
time.
A good deal of curiosity is manifested to
know what course Mr. McKinley will take
in regard to the reciprocitv amendment. He
has said to friends that he has not changed
his opinion since he referred to the subject
in bis speech on the tariff bill before it was
passed by the House, and in that speech, he
used the following language:
McKinley'a Opinion of Reciprocity.
That same condition bas been true as to
every agreement of reciprocity we have ever
had with any nation of the world. "We have
been beaten in every instancq. From 1851 to
1E6G IS years of reciprocity with Canada we
boaght of them twice as ranch as they bought
of us. "What these other countries want Is a
free and open market in tbe United
States. "What wo want, if we hare
reciprocity, must be reciprocity with
equality, reciprocity that shall be fair,
reciprocity that shall be just, reciprocity that
shall give us our share in the trade or arrange
ment that we make with the other nations of
the world. Whenever we have tried recipro
citv or low duties we have always been the
loser. But I leavo reciprocity to tbe illustrious
man who presides over the State Department
under this administration, and to mr distin
guished friend, the Chairman of tbe Committee
on Foreicn Affairs, Mr. Hitt. This is a domes
tic bill it Is not a foreign bill.
It is believed, however, that Mr. McKin
ley will not oppose the small experiment in
reciprocity that wilt tin .made unner tbe
operation .pf-tha Senate amendment, in case
South American Republics Ira "agreeable,
whieh is vastly different from tbe sort of rec
iprocity advocated by Secretary Blaine.
HARDSHIPS OF SPECIAL AGENTS
Who Collided the Statistic! Concerning
Farms, Homos and llloitgngps.
rFEOM A STAIT COKKXSrONDEST.:
"Washington. September 14. Few peo
ple realize the hardships and inconveniences
and sometimes real danger to which persons
engaged in the collection of the census
statistics have been exposed in tbe prosecu
tion of their work in all the different com
munities scattered over the extent of this
continent. Thrown in with all classes of
people, traveling through all sorts of inac
cessible places by rail, stage, on horseback
and on foot, it is not surprising that these
special agents should have encountered
many varied experiences. The full record
of difficulties overcome and duty performed
under all kinds of adverse circumstances
will never be told.
But now and then reports come in from
them to the office here in "Washington which
serve to give some little idea of the nature
of their work and rob it of many of the at
tractive features it was fondly supposed to
possess. Thrilling stories of narrow es
capes from blood and fire and others of a
more pathetic nature could be told by tbe
special agents who were sent into every one
of the 2,800 counties in tbe United States to
collect the statistics ot farms, homes and
mortgages. The field work of this special
branch of investigation has been nearly
concluded.

NO DUTY ON EtECTBICITY.
Panper Canadian Cnrrcnts Likely to Blast

ISPECIAL TELEGBAX TO THE DISPATCH.
"Washington, September 14. The fact
has just come to the knowledge of some in
terested persons that tbe tariff bill, as
passed by the House and amended by the
Senate, makes no provisson for a duty on
electricity. In the opinion of a constituent
of one of the New York Senators,
this is a grave mistake, and one
that ought to be rectified before
it is too late. This American citizen writes
that it is the pauper electricity of Canada
that threatens the American current. The
writer thereupon makes a tearfnl appeal for
a duty of 55per horse power upon all elec
tric currents imported over the border.
The business firm which the gentleman is
casting is the project that has been dis
cussed at various times for several years, to
utilize the power of Niagara Falls for tbe
production of electric currents to be dis
tributed on a large scale to the industrial
establishments of New York State.
Three years ago the Treasury Department
decided that electricity is not dutiable under
the present law, so there is no reason why
the miserable current from the Canadian
side of the falls should not come sneak
ing over and compete with the
pure American product to tbe utter
disaster of the latter. As the Senator's cor
respondent points out, therefore, the ?5
horsepower duty is absolutely necessary for
the future of Niagara Falls, which must be
protected as other infant industries are.
Unfortunately the request lor the much
desired amendment comes too late for in
sertion in this year's bill. Perhaps it will
win some other year.
EULOGIES ON SUNDAY.
A Congressional Proposal Which is In Lin
With Koed's Speech.
ISPECIAL TELEGBAM TO TUB DISPATCH, i
'"Washington-, September 14. In the
speech which Speaker Heed made at Port
land at the opening of tbe campaign that
sent him. back to Congress with a plu
rality of nearly 5,000, he announced
his opposition to the continuance of
the Congressional system of giving up cer
tain days to the delivery of eulogies of dead
statesmen. He pointed out that- already
during the present session 21 days have
been consumed in fujieral oratory and inti
mated' that this was not fair to the taxpayers.
Certain Democrats in the House at once at
tempted to turn these remarks of the Speaker
into campaign' thunder, but were promptly
prevented by their wiser colleagues, who
see plainly that men of both parties are
about ready to pronounce against the further
continuance of iuneral orations in the
House and Senate on business days.
As now .conducted, the proceedings on
eulogy days are a farce. A large majority
of the statesmen take a day off on this
occasion. Thev do not go near the Capitol.
and only those attend who feel absolutely
compelled to listen to the speeches, which,
for the most part, are of a stilted and per
functory character. There are seldom any
spectators in the galleries to listen
to the eulogies, as it is not often that any
thing worth listening to is said. The
snggestion.oi hereafter having all eulogies
delivered on the Sabbath day meets with
much favor, and it is not unlikely that a
resolution will soon be introduced in each
House looking to the proposed change.
THE ANTI-IOrrEEY BILL
Will
Probably be Called Up In the Sennta
Daring the Day. '
"Washington, September14. It is ex
pectedthat Senator Sanders will conciude
his speech npon the conference report of the
land grant forfeiture bill to-morrow, and
then the report will be agreed to. If it is
then not too late in the dav Senator Sawyer
will call up the anti-lottery bill, which bas
already passed tbe House. Otherwise he
will ask the Senate to dispose of private
pension bills on the calendar, postponing
the anti-lottery bill until Tuesday.
So far as known there will be no opposi
tion to the passage of this bill. Senator"
Gibson, of Louisiana, will speak in its
favor, and if any opposition develops on the
floor Senators Spooner and Casey, the latter
of North Dakota, will support the measure.
dui it is senator -sawyer s nope that uHb
sou's speech will be the oalv one delivered.
Following the anti-lottery bill on the order
ot business adopted by the Bepublican cau
cus are the bills to repeal the timber cnlture
act, to establish private land courts, and lor
the relief of the Supreme Court and the
labor bills. It is hardly probable that all
these will be disposed of this week.

Chicago, September 14. Cdmmissinner
McDonald did not hesitate this evening to
give evidence of his dissatisfaction about
accepting the dual site proposition. He
says:
"I am not alone by any means in my op
position to the proposition. The sentiment
of all commissioners from agricultural
States is in accord with mine. In fact, it is
almost universal with the full board, al
though they have not yet spoken, but they
will speak. I do not believe that the com
mission will adopt this dual site unless it is
presented to them in such a modified form
as to fully convince them that a great por
tion of the exhibition will be in Jackson
Park. This can be done by stipulating that
the exhibits placed at the Lake Front will
not be of sufficient consequence to attract
the visitors lrom the main portion of the ex
hibition." Commissioner Mercer, of "Wyoming, says:
"I am opposed unequivocally to adual site;
give me a single site anywhere. The con
venience for travel will cet around in time.
Boom and drainage are first considerations.
The live stock interests of the country de
mand suitable grounds and ample space for
themselves, and not isolated from ihe main
exhibits of all other industries.
Commissioner McDonald has introduced
the following, which is to be acted upon by
the General Commission, now in session:
Chicago, September 11, 1690.
To the Committee on Permanent Organization:

this line have not been proved, however.
TBT PUHLAP'S CABLE COMPAXT.l
Berlin, September 14. It is evident
that the Bismarckian controversy is grad
ually fading before the growing indifference
of the general public Some little time ago
publicity was given to the fact that the late
Einperor "William was seriously annoyed at
hearing that Prussian soldiers in the cam
paign of 1870 were dubbed Bismarckians.
Prince Bismarck has found it necessary to
publish his account of this incident. It ap
pears that cuttings from the newspapers
used to be laid before the late Emperor
"William by the police, and, according to
Bismarck's theory, the persons who selected
these cuttings endeavored to influence the
Emperor-King by the selections they made.
In one of these excised articles a state
ment appeared that tbe King's troops were
addressed as Bismarckians. The article
was a design to act upon His Majesty's well
known sensitiveness upon this point. The
object was temporarily gained, but the at
tempt did not produce a lasting impression
on the old Emperor's noble nature. This
explanation is published with a view to
showing the sort of weapons Prince Bis
marck's enemies had recourse to then
as now. The enmity toward Bismarck ap
pears generally to keep step with the.daily
growing popularity of tbe young Emperor,
and this week another petty annoyance has
been inflicted npon him. In some of the
lower grade popular organs he is now ac
cused of having converted to his own use
tbe resources of the first Bismarckian fund,
known as the Otto Pence, which was placed
at his disposal for distribution among poor
school teachers who by some patriotic act
might have merited such recognition.
I have mado diligent inquiries into this
matter, but have not succeeded in unravel
ing one single case in which it could be
shown that Bismarck had used the fund for
any other purpose than that for which it was
dedicated. Perhaps the publication of this
statement may help toward clearing up the
mysfery in which some Berlin papers have
enshrouded this particular question. The
fate of Bismarck's interviewers appear toibe
as bad as that which overtook the jurymen
in the Guitean trial. M. Abranyi has be
come insane, T)r. Simon, of New York, has
committed suicide, and Editor Bittershaus,
an old American journalist, has Deen dis
missed from the editorship of the Frankfort
Journal.

TBT DDNLAT'S CABLE COMPANY.
Bebltn, September 14. The reappear
ance of the hunger typhus in Upper Silesia
is regarded as the last straw to break the
protection camel's back, inasmuch as it is
admitted that the high tariff on corn and
the exclusion of foreign meat products are
the principal causes of the calamity. How
the poor suffer from these protective meas
ures may be gathered from the fact that
pork in Upper Silesia to-day costs three
times as much as it did before Prince Bis
marck began waging his war on the Amer
ican pig. The. duty placed on the corn
yield ia 1881 was 16,000,000 marks,
whereas it is estimated that the
amount which will be derived from
that sonrce this year will reach 100,000
marks. Moreover, while the nnmbers of our
poor fall victims to the high tariff and pro
tection, others seek in ever-increasing num
bers the means of sustenance in foreign
ports. Since the above period 1,448,111
Germans have emigrated to America. This
year the emigration has largely increased,
especially from Saxony. The exodus is in
some parts due to an anticipation of the
evil that may be wrought by tho McKinley
tariff bill. Fresh heartrending reports of
the poverty prevalent in Upper Silesia
crowd in upon us. Here are two examples:
At the Austrian Silesian frontier town of
Mysloejitz the weavers, who are in a great
state of destitution, have run a line over the
river Promeza, to which is fastened a bag
on a pulley to carry over into Prussian ter
ritory small quantities of flour, the price of
this necessary of life being SO plennings per
three kilogrammes in unprotected Austria,
and 85 pfennings in the adjacent territory of
Prussia, whicn is Duruened or blest with a
high tariff.. Another report shows that at
Benthen the police have had to drive a
number of poor families ont of underground
lodging forming a sort of earth cavities
which were uol more than six feet deep and
about the same in circumference.

tBT SUXLAF'S CABLE COMPANT.l
Beklin, September 14. The colonial
fever ia Germany for some time past has
been gradually abating, but.liasjustbeen re
vived through the personal influence of Ma
jor Von Wissmann. After the failure of the
Colonial Society to place their last Ewt
African loan, many of the former friends of
the scheme withdrew their names and
abandoned ail interest in the project. Now,
howeYer.Wissmann on the one hand and Pe
ters on the other, have given the movement
a fresh impetus by traveling through differ
ent parts of the Empire, making speeches
full of promise and patriotic sentiment, and
calling upon the public for money and
ships. By their exertions and pleasing de
meanor they have made many friends and
admirers, and these through sheer personal
influence have been induced to sign for
sums amounting to between 70,000 and 100,
000 marks toward the fleet for the African
interior seas.
The great mass of the German people
have treated this colonization bnsiness as a
fraud for the last two years. Major Von
Wissmann arrived here from-his provin
cial tour on Friday night, and confronted
by these objections he states that he does
not ask for a whole fleet, that one steamer
only is wanted for the Victoria Nyanza, and
that even that vessel is sot required for
trading purposes, butto hunt down slave
dhows. He states that the amount sub
scribed for this vessel up to the present is
80,000 marks. Toward this amount the
Emperor has given 3, 000 marks. In spite
of the imperial support the movement is de
cidedly still unpopular with the general
public.
THE FEARFUL FLOOD.
Reccdinc Waters To rj I.iktlr to be Fol

BY DUNLAP'S CABLE COMPANY.!"
Beblin, September 14. The recent ter
rible floods which were admitted to be in
part the consequence of a false economic
svstero which shrinks from undertaking any
decisive measures for the regulation of the
German water ways, will bring the question
of State insurance against loss by inunda
tions once more on the tapis. The Govern
ment of Saxony, whose subjects have lost
some 15,000,000 marks by the floods, will
probably take the lead in the insurance
question, though no later than last year the
same Government declined to have anything
to do with the project. It is the repetition
of the old story of locking the stable
door after the steed is gone.
Tbe inundations in Austria, Saxony,
Silesia and Switzerland have, however, done
some good. At least tbe friends of cre
mation say so, and they are a very numer
ous body in this city. At Prague.Jamong
other places, the crematories, were two
metres under water for more than a week
and an epidemic is feared in consequence,
as the retreating waters have run into the
reservoirs which supply drinking water to
the inhabitants.
NOT A REVOLUTION.

CBY DUSLAr'S CABLE COMPANY.I
Beene, September 14. The riot which
occurred at Ticino has been grossly magni
fied and it is ridiculous to describe it as a
revolutions xhe federal authorities are
greatly irritated at tbe conduct ot the people
in receiving the troops sent to suppress the
supposed revolution with httrrahs and sub
sequently dining and wining them, thereby
treating the interference of the Federal Gov
ernment with contempt and seeming to
regard the outbreak as little more than a
picnic.

ISrECIAL TXXXOBAU TO THE DISPATCH.:
Huntingdon, September 14. The
question of license or no license will be the
leading element in the local election in this
county in November. Since the defeat of
Associate Judge McCarthy at the Bepub
lican nominating convention, his Prohibi
tion friends throughout the county have
been importuning him to run as an inde
pendent anti-license candidate, but he is as
yet undecided. Simeon "Wright, the Be
publican nominee, was smoked out of his
silence on the license question this week,
and declares that he will administer the
laws as he finds them on the statute books,
and not intrude his persdhal belicra or in
clinations against tbe law s requirements.
This statement has greatly aroused tbe J
temperance advocates, and strong measures
are forming to put an independent anti
license candidate in the field. As it is now,
both the Bepublican and Democratic nomi
nees for Associate Judge would sustain the
action ot Judge Purst in granting license in
this county.

Venango county indorses Lee, with Stone a
strong second, Oil City giving Stone only

just reached civilization. His wife has not
even yet been informed of his somewhat
mysterious fate.
1SPICIAL TILEGRAJf TO TUX DISPATCH.!
Helena, September 14. Bobert Bar
Hamilton, whose trouble with bis wife,
Evangeline, and the tatter's sentence to
prison on the charge of attempting to kill
her nurse, was the talk" ol the country a
year ago, was accidentallr killed three or
fonr weeks ago, and yet, so effectually bad
he hidden himself and his disgrace from the
world, that no one besides the acquaintance
who found his body was aware of his fate
until to-day.
About six weeks ago Hamilton came
"West and purchased a ranch on Snake river,
in Idaho, on the road into the Yellowstone
National Park. His object was to make it
an outfitting point for park tourists who
went into the national pleasure ground by
the Union Pacific About three weeks ago
Mr. J. A. Green, of the Western Union Tel
egraph Company, set out to go into the park.
TT( rnrnf Vpit nvpr thn TTtah ftnrl TTnrThrn
Voad, leaving the railroad at Beaver Canyon
V"i bit found that Hamilton was not at

tfle. Hamilton's neODle told the New
"Yorker that Hamilton had gone ont lonr or
five davs before on a hunt with a horse and
dog. Next day Mr. Green started out to
Iook for Hamilton, making up a party for
the purpose.
On August 23, about 30 miles from the
ranch, while riding along the Snake river,
Green noticed a large tree whose branches
touched the water. Going closer he saw the
body of Hamilton partially hidden by the
overhanging branches, Hia watch had
stopped at 9 o'clock, and from its appear
ance the body had been in the water fonr or
five days.
Mr. Green recognized Hamilton immedi
ately, having known him quite well inNeer
Yorfc. Besides there were found in the dead
man's pocket letters from his attorney rela
ting (o the divorce proceedings against Mrs.
Hamilton, and other papers concerning tbe
winding up of his business affairs in the
East. Mr. Green had the body taken to
the ranch and notified Hamilton's relations.
Then he continued his journey to the park.
evidently an accident.
After his trip to tbe park Mr. Green re
turned to Helena and told the above story
of Hamilton's drowning. He said the un
fortunate man was evidently drowned while
fording the river a few miles above where
the body was found. His dog and horse
were discovered, the latter with the saddle
on, quietly grazing. Mr. Green w3s very
much surprised on arriving iu Helena to
find that the public knew nothing yet about
Hamilton's fate.
A special telegram from Trenton, N. J.,
says: It took long and vigorous pulling at
the big doorbell of the New Jersey State
Prison at midnight to attract the attention
of tbe guards who were on duty in the big
rotunda. "When they did come it was soma
minutes before Keeper Patterson could be
induced to leave his bed. He refused to al
low Mrs. Hamilton to be seen at this hour,
or to communicate the fact of her
husband's death to her. He
states that he saw the fair prisoner
early in the evening, and that she was well
and much concerned about her divorce suit,
and made inquiry of the keeper if he knew
where Bay Hamilton could be fonnd, that
she could communicate with him. The rea
son given for not communicating with her
was that it was hard to reach her cell, and
to enter the woman's wing at such a late
hour meant confusion.
GOING INTO POLITICS AGAIN.
Mr. Hamilton left for the "West about the
middle of last June. His intention was to
remain there until the middle of November,
when his suit was to come to trial in the
special term of the Supreme Court At the
same time he expected to re-enter politics in
the Eleventh district It was said by a
representative of his lawyers, Boot and
Clark, that tbe suit will be continued, de
spite Mr, Hamilton's dcatb, as tbe disposi
tion of his large property will be affected by
the resnlt of it
Bobert Bay Hamilton was born in this
city on March 18, 1850. He was the son of
General Schuyler Hamilton, a grandson of
Alexander Hamilton. After graduating
from Columbia College and the Columbia
Law School, he began the practice of law.
He was elected to the Assembly in 1881 as a
Bepublican from the Eleventh district, and
was re-elected in 1886, 1887 and 1888. Mr.
Hamilton spent much of his time in travel
ing both in this country and abroad. He
was a member of tbe Union League Club,
tbe University Club and tbe Tuxedo Club.
About the first of July, 1889, Mr. Hamil
ton hired rooms in the Noll cottage at At
lantic City. He was accompanied by a
blonde woman of middle age, a nurse, and
an 8-months-old baby. On August 28
there was a quarrel between Hamilton's
companion, then known variously as Eva
Mann and Mrs. Hamilton, and the nurse,
Mary Ann Donnelly. The nurse was seri
ously wounded in the abdomen by Mrs.
Hamilton's ivory handled dagger, and Mrs.
Hamilton was arraigned and sentenced for
two years. In the meantime it was dis
covered that the babe was a foundling who
had been imposed upon Mr. Hamilton.
