A GHASTLY BELOIAN CRIME, SKTTLING IT WITH THEIR FISTS. Two Parliamentary Candidates Coma to Blows in a Railroad Depot. London, July 10. A lively fight occurred this evening in tho depot of tho Great Western Railroad at Warminster, a market town of Wilks County, between Lord Harry Thlnue, the Commonwealth candidate for the West em division of Wiltshire, and Mr. G.

W. Fuller, the Gladstonian candidate for that place. Both gentlenion met at the station, and after the interchange of some uncomplimentary remarks his lordship lost his tompor, and denounced Mr. Fuller as a liar. Fuller In turn applied the same epithet to Lord Thlnne.

At this tho latter struck Fuller a stinging blow in the face, which was returned with vigor by Mr. Fuller. The combatants then wont at It like two old time gladiators of tho pugilistic arena. After several blows had been exchanged Viscount Weymouth, the brother of Lord Harry, and Sir Charles Hobhouse, who were present, rushed In between the combatants and succeeded In separating them before any damage was done. As it was, both contestants wero quite badly usod up.

Early in the evening Mr. P. J. O'Brien, the Par nelllto member for the northern division of Tlppo rary, while delivering a speech at WarmlnBter in support of Mr. Fuller, waB quite roughly handled.

No sooner had he commenced sponking than tho crowd bogan shouting and yelling in a most bowildorlng way and completely drowning tho voice of the speaker. Now and thon cries of "dynamiter" and "convict" could be heard above the din. The demonstrations of the mob soon became so threatening that Mr. O'Brien and Mr. Fuller's friends had to beat a hasty retreat They were pelted with sticks, stones, eggs and all sorts of missiles and finally took refuge in tho house of a Liberal sympathizer.

Hero they wero besiegod until midulght, when the police succeeded in dispersing tho mob and rescuing the Imprisoned mon. ECHSLER ABRAHAM. SUNDAY Fair and warm. MONDAY Probably the same. INDIA LAWN SUITS.

The litigation which Mrs. Myra Clark Gaines carried on in her llfetimo to recover proporty claimed by hor Iu tbe City of Now Orleans has not ended with her death.

Sho died In Now Orleans In January, 1885, leaving Ave wills, and one of them is to be urged for probate In the Kings County Surrogate's Court It is dated January 5, 1885, four days before her death, and is signed with a cross, as she was too weak at the time to sign hor name. In this will she bequeaths about 600 acros of land In Louisiana to Mrs.

A SCHEME TO MAKE MONEY. Why Complaint was made of the Sale of Liquor at Beach. The complaint against Richard H.

Stearns, proprietor of tho Long Beach hotel for soiling liquor on Sunday, was not made by the Law and Order Association of Hempstead, but by Millard Bond and Robert Bromer, two young men residing at Christian Hook, who seem to have gone Into the detective business as a speculation, tho Law and Or dor Association having offered a reward of $50 for every conviction for a violation of the Exclso law. Tho warrant for the arreBt of Mr. Stearns was Is sued by Justlco Wallace last Monday, but tho officer only served It yesterday, and Mr. Stearns put in a plea of not guilty and will probably waive examination and go before the Grand Jury.

It Is said that tho complainants workod at Long Beach last Summer and being refused employment this year they took this method of getting revenge. LAUNCH OF THE SPEEDWELL.

The Defeat of Gladstone Not Conservative Victory. a Unless They Can Hold the Unionists They are Lost, According to the Latest Returns, and a tlti Premier's Policy Hay Win Back the Seceders Tory Fears that the ministry will Not Retire Coalition Theories and Prospects Thoughts from Randolph Churchill Queen Victoria Watching the Tide Pleased with Dilke's Defeat Parnell Call Tosrethcr His Followers A Fortune for a Carlist Prince Gossip from Foreign Lands. Special Cable Letter Copyrighted. London, July 10.

The anxiety of tho parties Is now contered upon the single question: Will tho Conservatives obtain a sufficiently large majority to onoblo them to con duct the Government without tho aid of the Liberal Unionists Ot the 102 seats still to be illlod, only 14 wore hold in the last Parliament by Conservatives, while tho Liberal dissidents held 21, the Glad ntnnlnn Liberals 54. and tho Parnellites 13. Tho Tories, if their tide of success continues un abated, should now 40 of these seats, and the Liberal Unionists, 27, leaving to Gladstone 35. The totals up to this evening are: Conservatives, 288; Liberal Unionists, 01; Gladstonian and Par noiutnn 2IR. Tf the sanguine estimates of tho Tories are realized the final position of the parties in tho new House of Commons will bo: Conserva tives, 328; Liberal Unionists, 83 (combined antl Gladstone vote, 416), against 253 Gladstonians and Parnellites.

These, with the Speaker, make up tho full complement of 670 members. WHERE GLADSTONE HOLDS A POINT. The position is complicated by the fact that should Mr. Gladstone revise his Homo Rule policy In such a way as to induce the Liberal Unionists to return to his support he would thus be able to command a majority. The Conservatives are manifestly in dread leat the Gladtonian organs shall urge the Premier to retain offlce and amend his policy to meet the views of Lord Hartlngton and Mr.

Chamberlain. Tho recent development in Lord Hartlngton of a tendency toward Mr. Gladstone's principles, as shown by the declaration that ho will remain in the Liberal party encourages the Gladstonian, to insist upon a policy of no surrender to the composite majority. There is no question that except as concerns opposition to the defunct Irish bills a section of the Liberals deslro a Hart ington Salisbury coalition, with Lord Hartlngton as Premier and Lord Salisbury as Minister of Foreign Affairs, with the platform a local government bill covering England, Ireland and Scotland. RANDOLPH CHURCHILL'S IDEAS.

It is said that Lord Randolph Churchill favors either a coalition or an independent Tory measure for local government in Ireland. Should Lord Salisbury adopt tho idoa ho will hove the Liboral Unionist support. He has hitherto proved obdurate against it Lord Hartington is averse to talcing offlce with Lord Salisbury. Ho prefers to lead his own section and hold the balance of powor between the parties, as Mr. Parnell did in the last session.

It is yet doubtful whether ho can be elected for Eosendale, but if defeated there he will readily find another Beat. His return to Gladstone, together with ills loiiowers, is palpably foreshadowed in his lntest utterance to the electors. He said ho was ready to give the Irish, to a greater dogroe than the people of Great Britain, a control over certain Irish affairs. The belief is general among Gladstonians and Liberal Unionists that if Mr. Gladstone consents to recast his Home Hule bill upon lines acceptable to Lord Hartington, Parliament can readily arrive at a solu slon of the question of Irish self government.

HOT BELIQIOCS FEUDS. During the progress of the elections internal feuds among the dissenting religious bodies have risen to a pitch of intensity. A section of tho Baptists have been trying to influence Spurgeon's congregation to protest agalnBt his anti Gladstone declarations. This has caused resentment and ill feeling. The dissension among the Methodists is so extreme as to imperil the cohesion of that sect The president ol the Conference, Itev.

Dr. Roberts, and Ex Prosldent Key. Dr. 11c Arthur have given outspoken and thorough support to the Tory candidates. Ex President Rev.

Dr. Garrett, on the other hand, is oqua ly forvent In his advocacy of home rule. The liethoditt Times, which seems for the nonce to have become a Home Rule organ, attacks president Roberts as tho first to violate the rule that a President of the Conference must never descend to the arona of political strife It then declares that the majority of the Mothodlst ministers are Liberals, though for the sake of Internal peace they remain silent; but that there will be another election for president soon, when they Will no longer be silent. PB0TEST8 TO CARDINAL MANNING. The Duke of Norfolk and other members of the Catholic aristocracy haro written Cardinal Manning protesting against his interfering with the electoral struggle.

It Is reported that the Duke has also sent a complaint against the Cardinal directly to the Pope. He also triod to obtain a declaration from Cardinal Newman in favor of the union. Though the Duke is an ox pupil and an old and constant friend of Cardinal Newman, he failed to move him to his wishes. The Cardinal's physical condition Is precarious. He has now lost the power to use either hand, and has symptoms of aphasia.

PARNELL TO CONVENE HIS FOLLOWERS. Mr. Parnell gives out that he will convene his followers at Dublin about tho 26th of July. They exhibit no feeling of discouragement. The general Tlew of the party is very faithfully reflected in this tatoment of United Ireland 'Ihe present reverse Is but temporary.

Tho re sults of the election will prove to be providential. The English could not rightly appreciate the issue until they had handled both ends thereof. Their experience of a band of dlsgracod politicians tinkering at a mighty problem is Just what is needod to obtain for Mr. Gladstone carte blanche hereafter." VICTORIA WATCHINO THE TIDE. The Queen follows the progress of the elections With anxious Interest Her sympathies are with the Unionists.

She remains up until two o'clock in the morning to receive returnB.

Under the terms of the legacy, Don Jayme will have the right to dispose of his fortune ob he pleases upon reaching the age of 18 years.

A Story of Abuse Which the flusbaud Denies. Thomas Armstrong, the young man who shot and killed his stop father, Albert R. Ilorrlck, In Pearl street, was socrotoly married In March last. Yesterday afternoon his wifo left him and her whereabouts remains a mystery. Tho couplo seem to have been living anything but peacefully together.

Mrs. Armstrong is a lino looking gii 1 of 19. Soon after his marriage, Armstrong, It is said, began to neglect and nbuso her without any apparent reason. It Is claimed that a day or two since ho ill treated her, and the brldo of four months became Thoroughly frightened. She sought rof uge the noxt day with a married sister, who IlveB at 95 Johnson streot To her sho told her story.

Tho rosult was that Mrs. Armstrong determined tosook a divorco and pending the trial to live apart from her husband. The lawyer whom alio consulted informed hor, however, that Blie scarcely had sufficient grounds for absolute divorco. She concluded therefore to go to Now York to live with a married sister, and yesterday quiotly colloctod her clothing during her husband's absence and left. She was seen by an Eagle reporter before sho left the Pearl street house.

When asked about her troubles she hesitatingly said In an agitated whisper Oh, I cannot speak here. Indeed I cannot. But I will tell you Bomowhere else." She expressed fear lest she should be overheard. Being urged to appoint a time and place for an interview she did so, but hor sistor and friends would not allow her to fulfil the engagement. They hurried her over to Now York.

THE HUSBAND'S ANSWER. An Eagle reporter called last night at tho boarding house on Pearl streot where Mrs. Derrick and young Thomas Armstrong lives. Mrs. Herrick, with her cousin, a good looking young man about 30 years of age, and a young woman living In the vicinity wero sitting on the front door steps talking Iu loud tones about tho sudden disappearance of Armstrong's young wife.

As the reporter approached the house he hoard Mrs. Herrick remark to the lady visitor: My son Is too proud to let his wife go upon tho street without a hat, and I am proud of him. I think he did Just right In rebuking her as he did. The conversation wns stopped by the appearance of the roportor. Ha made known his errand and Mrs.

Herrick invltod him into tho house, together with hor cousin. She then summoned her son Thomas, who had Just retired. Mrs. Herrick wns very much surprised to learn that her daughter in law had left her houso for good and was taking steps toward securing a divorce. We have had a great deal of trouble in our household," said Mrs.

Herrick, and I am sorry this matter has got out. I was opposed to Tom's marriage. In fact, I knew nothing about it until he married her. Sho was living in tho house with me, a single girl only 18 years old, and Tom, without saying a word to any of us, went oft and got married. He was too young to marry.

I have done the best I could to make rhelr home pleasant, and gave hor several dresses and other presents." "The trouble is Just this," broke in tho good look ing cousin, who was adverse to having Mrs. Herrick talk to tho reporter. "Where lot of women got together they are bound to make trouble. Every little thing Tom would do his wife would tell her sisters and other female friends, and they would talk the matter ovor to make a mountain out of a mole hill. Tom never harmed her." Well I guess not," said tho mother, "Tom wouldn't hurt anybody.

Ho thought a groat deal of his wife. Her sisters own two or three houses and they thought Tom was trying to got possession of them and that is ono reason why they disliked him so much. Of course Tom did nothing of tho kind." At this point Tom" came into tho room, ex cusing his appearance by pleading the fact that he had boon to bed. When asked If he had ever assaultod his wifo or 111 treated hor in any way, ho replied that he had been one of tho kindest of husbandB, and he could not imagine why his wife should leave him. He said that sho would bo all right if It was not for tho influence of her sisters.

"A few days ago," said Thomas, "I saw my wife walk out on Myrtle avenue without a hat and in company with a woman of questionable character. When she returnod I told hor she must not go out on tho street again with her head uncovered. She complained a little and last night removed some of hor clothes from our room. This morning I went to the room and was surprised to find she had left and taken all her efforts with her. I never struek her in my life and don't believe she can get a divorce.

called at her sister's to night hoping to find her thero, but learned that she had gone to Now York. was vory sorry." "Depend upon It," added tho good looking cousin. as the reporter took his departure, "she will be back here within forty eight hours." THREATENING TO LEAVE TOWN.

About 6 o'clock last evening a middle nged, plainly dressed German called at Police Headquar ters and said ho wanted to see tho Superintendent. Ho was taken Into Inspector MaoKellar's office, where he Btated the nature of his visit He said that ho was Frederick Grelner, a Journeyman car pouter, and that he lived at 671 Summit avonue, Jersey City.

Half an hour afterward sho said sho wanted to call on an Indian doctor on Fourteenth street, who had treated her on several occasions for broln trouble.

He (her husband) went out with her and put her on board of a car. Ho had not seen hor since. When she did not return at a reasonable hour he vlsltod all the polico stations ho could and made inquiries concerning his wife. Yesterday morning he went to Police Headquarters in Now York and renewed his inquiries thore.
