A fhc Delaware Statesman Narrates the Substance of the Con vernation ?The Souili not to be Treatoil an a Distinct Section?The New President Discusses the Characters, not r< the Names of the Ulcn whom lie I to will Call Around Him. j (j, Special Dispatch to Tin- News ami Courier.) i ln Washington, December 10.?Senator j tu avanl's Sunday visit to Governor jni Cleveland continues to be the subject of! ti viltl speculation in political circles. Nil- j M norous ctinilicting dispatches have boon i M olegraphed from here giving vivid do- A eriptions of the interview between 01 hese two gentlemen at Albany. ' f|i Your correspondent to-day found Sen- c? itor Ilavard quite willing to talk freely a? in the subject, and, below is the result pi >f the conversation. c:: Last week Senator Hay an! received an fa ntiiuntion that Governor (Cleveland 01 vould be pleased to entertain him at his t? esidence in Albany, and consult him < ) vith reference to national affairs goner- at ill}'. The Senator accepted the in vita- h ion, and fulfilled it last Sunday. Mr. 0| Jayard had never nif>t the President- el lect before, but they soon established <>i riendly relations, and proceeded to dis- 01 :uss political ati'airs without reserve. h< Governor Cleveland said he desired to st onfer with the Delaware Senator be- K ause of his long service in the Senate il ind his faniiliaritv with public men and h neasures. Senator I'.avanl says they si onversed freely about the various lines if policy which are calculated to insure ( < he success of the new administration. la Governor Cleveland remarked that ho n tended ttithstanding r<'|?orts to the contrary, he to as in no sense an aspirant for Cabinet ' onors. Ik* prefers to remain in the enatu. but will do anything in his pow- l'r r to assist in making the Cleveland ad- n" linistration a success regardless of the ost of duty to which be may be as- 0,1 igned. Concerning the impression that Govrnor Cleveland created in the mind of *u enator Rayardosa civil service reformr, the latter said lie could not better il- w"' istrate Cleveland's views on that queson than by stating that Silas N. Hurt, ho was one of the originators of the J?" ivil service measure, was appointed by rovernor Cleveland chief examiner of le Slate, civil service commission. Hurt as formerly naval oflicer at the port of j,, iew York. Ilis term of oflice expired ?n urin;; the present administration, hut "Z ,rthur did not ecu fil to reappoint him. ,s an evidence that Cleveland is siucerc i his friendship to the civil service re>nn movement it is noted that he ronp- & ointed Hurt to his present place. Senator Ilaynrd said that his visit was i no way as mysterious as some had ["presented it, hut simply a consultation '|?i etwoen a chief and one of his subjects. K. M. Ii. IJoth Sentenced to lU'alh. j By (.'able to the Chronicle.] Dunoon. December 0.?Capt. Dudley nd the mate of the wrecked yacht liguonctte, who wore found guilty of inrdor, in killing the boy, Parker, for ;>od to keep themselves alive, were tony .sentenced to dentil. It is believed lint they will be certainly pardoned, lie court room was crowded, and lie scene during the pronouncing of the ^ entence was most impressive. Lord Shief .1 ustice Coleridge read the jnilg- f'r lentof the Court, citing authorities at real length. The Court declared that . IH lie Ukingof human life could only be .j. ustiHed on the plea of self defence. 'ho com mission of murder for the sake sc f preserving one's own 1 if?? was mtjiiH- ^ ifiablc. Of course it was duty to preerve one's own life, but duty often reuired one nfit to save but to sacrifice is own life. "The Court must apply lie law and declare that the prisoners re re guilty of willful murder, for (]} rhich there was no ju,s!iHen(ion. If his judgment was too severe, the lourt must leave the prisoners to the leniency of the Crown. The prisonrs were asked what they had to say ' " efore the sentence was pronounced. j loth Capt Dudley and Male Stevens p., leaded for mercy, in view of their teriblo situation, when the deed was done. a' .ord Coldridge said it was the -jury's w' rivilege to recoil)mend the prisoners to lercy, and then he seuteuced them to 00 e hanged, without the black cup. Sir ? V'm. Vernon Harcouit, Secretary of I"1 tate for the Home department, has ad- ^ ised the Queen to respite Dudley and tephens. x . ? \- * , - V-* v. % ; > . >> "' C-vv ' % '?? * < " Z. v , v ; : a? .* V:?. : * * - iV-- ;V. Zv.' FATAL POISONIKG. Father and Two Children Tuke Strychnine by Mistake?One Child ii Escapes?The Others Die. c We learn through a gniitleinan who sides in the neighborhood of Williaiii, of a most distressing case of nceijntal poisoning wiiich occurred at Fair- j ii ount Factory, seven miles from Willis- * hi, in Barnwell County, on Sunday ? glit last. The following are the parculars as related lo us. It seems that t r. William Woodward, ? nephew of r. J. W. Woodward who built the ~ iken Court House and Jail, determined -> i Sunday night t:> administer a dose off J ii 11 itie to himself and his entire family, insisting of a wife and four children, ; a remedy for a bad cold. For this) urpose lie prepared the medicine in i ipsitles?one for eaeh member of the .mily. Whereupon, he administered 10 a piece to two of his children and ~j ion taking one himself, left the rest in J large of his wife to be taken by her id the other two childten at bed time i forty minutes Mr. Woodward and one the children wore lifeless, the other 1 lihl being saved !>} excessive vomiting, tving to tho largeness of the dose. Up i investigation, it was discovered that i [ had used by mistake strychnine in- " i'inl of quinine. Ft is alleged that an | uglishman, who had been employed at i ie factory and who was fond of dab- ii ling in medicine, and who had not long " net; h it the place, had turned over to i'oodward a lot of drugs, which aciir.its for his being in possession of so rge a quantity of strychnine. The above fatal ami melancholy acciL'ut shows how wrong it is to meddle ilh unlabeled drugs, a-d how improper is for any but physicians and druggists keep large quantities of deadly poison l>out llicm.
