EXTRAORDINARY CASE.

Suspicious Death of a Woman—Arrest of

tho Husband.

(From tho "Sydney News," November 13),

Ax advertisement appeared in yesterday's papers asking the members of the New South Wales branch of the Secularists' As sociation to attend the funeral of Mrs Ellen Bell, Mr Thomas Walker, tho well-known lecturer, was announced to deliver an oration at the grave. A representative of this journal proceeded to the Sydney mortuary, and, after having waiteda con siderable time, ho was told by a policeman that the husband of the deceased had been arrested on a charge of having caused the death of his wife, and that the funeral would not tako place. Inquiry was made at No. 2 police station, whore Senior-ser geant Keatinge informed our reporter that William Bell is in custody on a charge of having caused the death of his wife, Ellen Bell, in Campbell-street, of Glebe Point Road on the 10.h>atant. in reply to the charge, Bell said, " -have assisted my wife in four or five miscarrioges. I advocate Bradlaugh's principles and the Malthusian idea. I want tosee that theory carriod into practice. Instruments were used, but I de cline to say who used them." Senior-ser geant Keatinge: " Well, I must arrest you." The accused: " Well, you can if you like; but I stick to my principles. I do not believe in over population. Mr Bradlaugh is quite right." Senior-sergeant Keatinge; " Why did you not call in a medical man 1" The accused: "That has nothing to do with you." Sonior-sergeant Keatinge: " What implements wero used ?" The accused : "I decline to answer." He was then charged with having caused the death of his wife. The matter was reported to the city coroner.

Upon making inquiries at a late hour last night, our reporter was enabled to gather the following additional particulars : —Mrs Bell had been suffering for some time past, and has been treated by a consulting chemist in tho vicinity of Glebe Point Road. On Monday evening tho caso assumed such a serious aspect that tho chemist deemed it advisable to call in Dr. Sherwin, who nt once attended at Boll's houso. Ho there upon examined the"woman, and found that she was dangerously ill. From informa tion ho recoived ho inferred that she had been tampered with. Dr. Hankins, who had on ono occasion attended Mrs Bell, was asked for a certificate of death'; but he declined to give ono, and reported' the matter to tho city coroner. Dr. West was then called in, and both doctors con sidered the case to be a very serious one. At the inquest, Mr Willinm Bell, hus band of the deceased, was called, and ob jected to take an oath ; but would make an affirmation. He udded that he isa secularist. He admitted obtaining drugs from Mr Sheridan, a chemist in Park-streot, for an unlawful purpose. Dr. George Thomas Hankins deposed that in conjunction with Dr. Muskett ho made a post mortem ex amination of the body. Ho found that the cause of death was from collapse, following acute peritonitis, the result of a penetrating wound ; the wound must havo been caused by some instrument. . During the inquiry, the chemist, Thomas M. Sheridan, was arrested on the charge of having been concerned in tho woman's death.

THE PRESIDENTIAL ELEC TION.

Before the Battle,

(From Our American Correspondent.)

At the present time the only topic of dis cussion everywhere is that of tho near-at- Imnd election. It is an election very momentous to the reputation of the United States, from a moral standpoint especially, and from a material one it is of consider able significance. Charges of bribery and corruption to such an extent as to stagger one who has been used, like myself, to the comparitive decorum and staid soberness and respectability of elections in England. Mr Blame,- the Republican candidate, is openly charged with having made himself rich through prostituting his various positions by taking bribes. In proof of this statement, it is advanced that ho first went to Washington a poor man man, that his salaries have been certain sums, and that he now possesses more money than his salaries could under any possible computa tion give him. Cheques have been exhibited bearing Mr Blame's endorsement stated to have been given for value received in legis lative support, and then the famous Mulligan letter, have been published, which effectively show Mr Blame's character to be compromised, to write it mildly. The President of the United States should surely be a man like Cesar's wife, but this requirement Mr Blame does not most certainly fulfil. Mr Cleveland, it is claimed, is a young man ; that he has hod little or no experience, and that finally he once kept a mistress. Of this latter charge I said enough in my last letter, and there showed, if it bo true, that Mr Blame is charged with a more heinous crime of a like nature. But, letting the two indelicate charges be set off one against tho other, ■it leaves the balance to be determined between actual corruptions in office and inexperience. Before this letter reaches you the telegraph will have told you which the people of'the United States g'refer t Ido not want to let jpy leanings avo any weight, but I'll make this prophecy—that if Mr Blame is elected, in 25 years' time tho United States will either fie under .the grasp of a despotism or reel ing In the throes of anarchy. The salya tiO'n of the country needs it change of party, (jnd every four years thjjt this change is slaved "off,' so much nearer peril is the country. *P_e election in Ohio is just oyer. The returns ijppear to give a Republican majority of -Something like 15,000. The Republicans claim this as a victory; the democrats do likewise. The Ohio election was not a Presidential election, but an election for ebrtain State officers; but it was a test election, nnd that it was so considered \a proved by the extraordinary efforts.ench party made to poll their largest strength. At the Presidential elections-for the last 20 years the Republicans have had an averago majority of sbmothing like 36,000 ; a. the samei tjme the Democrats hold the St^te offipes frp'tn Governor io constable. But again, it is a fact, or said to be, that while on off years the Democrats can carry local offices, yet when these local offices aro contested on a Presidential year the Repub licans go for their national ticket and sink locatl preferences for the sake of the moral effect the Ohio election has on the rest of the country as to the Presidential vote three weeks afterwards. Read in this light, the voting' yesterday is a victory foC the Democrats ; read in the light of its simple figures, it Is a Republican victory. The effect it has is this: That while a Demo cratic majority would practically have settled the' election, a Republican victory gives the. Democrats little or no set back, and both parties go to the Presidential vote {_ November 'full of courage. But, as I said befdfo,' as that' vote will havo reached ydu !Befo_e my letter does, I will say no Sore on tie subject, as it is by no means a easant task to write bef6re the event some thing'thatwill be.cad in the light of tho event having occurred.
