Special Cablegram © Post-Dispatch. LONDON, July 6.—Las$ night’s division in the House has produced a tremendous sensa- tion. What the allied ferces of Liberals and Parnellites, led by Gladstone and Parnell, have completely failed 0 do, one little milli- ner has accomplished with ease. She was greatly aided of course, by the incredible folly of the ‘‘Old Bailey lawyer,’’ Matthews, whom Lord Randolph Churchill kicked into the posi- tion of Home Secretary, and whom he has now helped to kick out again. The division was the first serious blow this Government has re- ceived. It was, of course, a vote of censure on Matthews, whose resignation is fully ex- justice as well as a tactical political victory. Many Unionists and Conservatives left the House without voting, and a number of them voted against the Government. All the morn- ing papers contain extremely severe com- ments on Home Seeretary Matthews, and Newton, the Magistrate of the Marlborough Street Police Court, especially THE SINGULAR INCAPACITY of the former. The Standard denounces hie blunders, per- versity and pedantic obstinacy. The Morning Post says that a small modicum of common sense and ordinary judgment would have avoided the defeat. The Daily Telegraph speaks of the result asa deserved rebuke ad- ministered to Matthews, and a damaging Gefeat for the Ministry as a whole. The Daily News holds him up as a wholesome warning against the prefer- ence of party to justice. To make all this quite clear, Ishould, perhaps, remind you that it arose out of the arrest by a consta- ble named Endacott, of a milliner’s assistant named Cass, on the charge of improper solicit- ing in Regent street, and the subsequent rumanly conduct of Magistrate Newton in rep- rimanding her and insulting her employer, who desired to give sworn testimony. Mat- thews supported both the magistrate and the Constable and refused an inquiry. IT HAS BEEN OVERWHELMINGLY PROVED that Miss Cass is a perfectly respecta- ble young lady and the eomstable lied when he said. he had watci an outrage. RUSSELL’S RESIGNATION. The resignation of T. R. Russell, a mem- ber from Glasgow, who finds his membership incompatible with his duties as editor of the Liverpool Daily Post, is received with universal regret. Mr. Russell is not only one of the most able and experienced journalists in England, but a clever and much trusted politician, and a man of charming personal character. TREVELYAN’S CANDIDACY. I hear that itis almost decided that Trevelyan will be the Gladstonian candidate for his seat, which isa certain Liberal victory. The markets are weak. Engiand. THE GOVERNMENT'S DEFEAT. LONDON, July 6.—The Times this morning says: The Government have to thank Mr. Matthews’ deficiency in tact and knowledge of the world for their defeat. His replies dis- played his singular incapacity to grasp the true nature of the affair.’’ The Standard says: „The Government have themselves to thank for their damaging defeat. Mr. Mat- thews, of course, was primarily responsible, but his colleagues, and especially Mr. Smith, must share the blame. It was the duty of the Government to see that right prevailed, and for neglecting that duty they have been brought to a sharp reckoning.’’ ORDERED ARRESTED. Judge Cave of the London Bankruptcy Court to-day ordered that Mr. James McHenry be arrested and committed to prison for two weeks for contempt of courtin not filing his accounts under the order of the Registrar in Bankruptcy. Subsequently the execution of the warrant was suspended for a fortnight. SMITH OWNS UP. In the house of Commons to-day Mr. WIII- iam Henry Smith, the Government leader, referring to the action of the House last night, in the Cass case, said the House acted under the wrong im- pression that the Government was opposed to an inguiry inthe matter. It was the duty of the Government to institute afulland impar- tial inquiry to establish the truth in connection with the arrest of Miss Cass. MATTHEWS WILL STICK. The Press Association says there is good ground for believing that Mr. Matthews, the Home Secretary, will not sesign, notwith- standing the action of the House of Commons last night in connection with the Cass case. PRESS COMMENTS. The Pall Mall Gazette says: If Mr. Mat- thews were a man of honor and a gentleman, this morning’s paper would have announced that he had resigned. He crowned last night a ministerial career of almost continuous fail- ure by exhibiting combined tncapacities al- most unprecedented.’’ The St. James Gazette says: The episode has damaged the Govern- ment but little. The breeze will do it good. The Globe says: The attitude of Mr. Mat- thews is doubly to be regretted, as it is cer- tain to be turned to party account. Germany. A WITNESS’ SUICIDE.

Two men named Dupre and Charlette have been arrested on suspicion of being the murderers of Perrault, as the deceased had been drink- ing with them and Dupre had made threats to the effect that he would kill Perrault. THE MORMON ARTICLE, The Salt Lake City Tribune Oriticizes the New Constitutien. SALT LAKE, Utah, July 6.—The Tribune edi- torially says: The Mormon article ing to abolish polygamy is a fraud a sham. It omits unlawful tic most prevalent and offensive feature continuous living in polygamy; and all a Mormon would need to do in order to ‘live his religion,’ would be to quietly marry polvgam- ously and keep the knowledge of the factfrom obtrusively offending a Mormon Prosecuting- Attorney for three years, and from on thereafter he could live in the mest shameless and inde- cent polygamy with neither law nor Constitu- tion to say him nay. He would also be backed by the Church and dominant sentiment, and the constitution would be laughed to scorn as the Church programme contemplates.’’ The Tribune contrasts this move with the declaration of grievances and protests made by the Mormons two years ago, upholding polygamy as a true Bhurch doctrine and com- plaints of legislation against it as infringing with the rights of conscience. Delegate Caine presided at the meeting at which this was adopted and signed it as chairman. He also presided at this constitutional conven- tion. Thesame persons and the same power ordain both then and now, then in earnest, now parading for effect, and with an attempt to deceive the public. If admitted as a State the priesthood would have itall theirown way. RUFFIANS FOILED. A Fatal Powder Explosion—Found in the River—Missour! Matters.

Peter Coffey to be Tried for the Murder of Station Agent Way. ; By Telegraph to the Post-DisPparcn. Deputy Sheriff Charles R. Speigel of New Haven, was given a subpoena by Sheriff Gates to summon witnesses to appear before the Grand-jury in the case of Peter Coffey of this place, against whom the Grand-jury will be asked to bring a true bill. This was the first intimation that leaked outthatthe State had been doing anything toward discovering the murderer of Charies J. Way, the station agent on the Shore ne at this place, who was killed several months ago. One night, shortly after 10 o’clock, the mangled remains of the station anent were found lying beside the track in front of the station. The 10:l5accommodation train had just passed along and it was sup- posed that Way had accidentally — upon the track, or that he had commi suicide. It was later found that Way and one Peter Coffey had been engaged in selling liquor illegally, and Coffey,, when questioned, gave several conflicting stories as his actions and whereabouts on night of the murder. Coffey took the train that killed Way to Guilford and hid a whisky jug there, which the State has at last found after a deal of trouble. When Cof- fey came back the next morning, he told sev- eral 1 1 that Charlie Way had been run over by the train, when, according to ali the stories he has told relative to his whereabouts, he could not possibly have known this. When the Coroner put Coffey under oath, his state- ments were conflicting, and he tried to throw suspicion on other parties. hen Way’s remains were picked up, it was found that his pocket had been picked and everything taken except an old silver w Way bad just received his month’s pay. A knotted cloth tnat had been torn from an old air of overhauls, was found near the track. his was used, it was learned, to gag the victim and had been torn off before the train came along. The State detectives had much to contend within the case, as there were conflict- ing clews, but they strongly suspected Coffey all the time and kept a close watch on his movements. A day or two ago it was disco: ered that the station agent had been in the act of sendingatelegram when he was stricken down by the assassin. This telegram was not finished at the time, but was sent later by some other party. This leads to the belief that the murder was premeditated. A witness in Stony Creek states that on the night of the murder the station-house was dark, but he could hear parties talking inside in angry tones, and one of the parties was a woman. Tbe belief in Stony Creek is that the murder was committed in consequence of Way’s well- known relations to 8 woman in town. The State is supposed to have a strong case against Coffey, although it is not probable that the murder was committed by one man alone. The State’s Attorney has made great exertions to keep the matter quiet, but new and startling developments are anticipated in a day or two. IN THE JIM CROW CAR. A Colored Citizen’s Complaint Against the Georgia Railroad. WASHINGTON, D. C., July 6.—W. H. Heard, (colored), of Charleston, 8. C., who com- plained to the Interstate CommerceCommission of discrimination against him on account of color, by the Georgia Railroad, has reduced which document has deen received a first-class ticket to Charleston, was, when in company with Dr. Wesley J. Gaines and Mrs. Josie Gunsagger, compelled by the employes of the Railroad Company at t what known on said Georgia Railroad as the Jim Crow car. This car, he avers, was inferior to first-class cars, was dirty, and one-half of it was a smoking car. He asks that the said Georgia Railroad be compelled to furnish equal accommodations to persons holding first-class tickets, ‘‘irrespective of race or color, according to the act of Congress in such cases made and provided.“ Answers have been received from the Lage Shore & Michigan Southern Railroad Company to the complaints of Armour & Co., and Nel- son Morris & Oo., allegin excessive rates upon meat products. The schedules submitted by complainants are admitted to be correct, and it is admitted that they were pre- paredin accordance withan agreement with other common carriers, but it is denied that the agreement was made for the purpose of de- stroying competition between said common carriers, or that therespondent refuses in con- sequence of said agreement, to make petition- ers just and reasonable rates based upon the service rendered. , MISSOURI SUPREME COURT.

The Strikers Indignant—Prospects of Riots and Blocdshed—Very Few of the Ola Hands Resuming Work—Decision of the Flint Bottle Manufacturers—Dr. McGlynn age Delegate to the Syracuse Conven- n. * UNIONTOWN, Pa., July 6.—The presence of Pinkerton’s armed men in the coke régions has caused intense excitement, and serious trouble may follow. The strikers are indig- nant and denounce the action of the Operators in bringing the detectives into the regions in loudest terms. Last night 500 strikers at West Leisenring held a meeting and unani- mously resolved to continue the strike. At Jimtown, it is said, the men are weakening, and a large number are expected to return to work before the close of the week. William Mullen, Secretary of the Miners’ Association, in a statement to the newspapers, says: The men are quiet but determined, and the introduction of the Pinkerton detectives into the coke region, will be the advent of a bitter feeling between employers and em. ployed that years will not eradicate. The strikers will be counselled to keep within the limits of the law, but the landing of Pinker- ton's agents has been the starting of rioting and of bloodshed wherever they have been used. There may be some disturbance in the Connelisville coke regien, however, and some lives lost. ‘The responsibility will rest upon those who brought the detectives here. The detectives are in charge of Superintend- ent Limden of Philadelphia and Capt. Foley of Chicago. They aie not here, they say, to cause trouble, but to prevent it, and protect those who desire to returnto work. They will remain until the strike has been broken. This was the day set by the operators fora resumption of work by those of their old em- ployes who had expressed themselves as willing to S0 back at the old rate of wages. The works generally throughout the region were open to all who desired to return. At a number of them some of the strikers reported and were put to work. At no place was the number large, though, as the 23 say, there were enough to show that a resumption of work had actually commenced on the morning designated. Everything is quiet, and so far Pinkterton’s men have had nothing to do. The Flint Bottlemen. PITTSBURG, Pa., July 6.—The Western Ftint Bottle Manufacturer’s Association has about completed its preparations for the wage con- vention at Atlantic City on the 15thinst.

BURIED IN THE SMOKE-HOUSE. | How Ex-Sheriff Swift Cleared His Reputa- : tion After Fourteen Years, By Telegraph to the Post-Disratcn. PapucaH, Ky., July 6.—In 1873 J. Hamp Swift was Sheriff of Callaway County, Ken- When he came to settle up he was $3,000 short. He always thought his deputy had robbed him. Making good the defiency broke fim up, and he was obliged to sell his farm to save his securities. Since then he has been supporting his family as bese he could by day work,etc. About a month o his wife became insane and was sent to e asylum at Hopkinsville. In her delirium she frequently referred to money hid in the smoke-house on the farm. She finaily said there was money buried in a crack in a corner of the smoke-honse. The husband visited his old home 12 and found $3,200 in the groun as escribed by his wife. The money, which was in green-. backs, wasinan excellent state of preserva- tion, considering the time it had been buried. The theory of the doctors is that Mrs. Swift was insane at the time she stole the money and hid it. Swift, with the exception of his sup- —— defalcation, was always a man ot un- lemished reputation. , taxes. JACKSON FRIGHTENED, Masked Men Attempt to Lynch a Black Rav- isher at Towson, Md.
