ATLANTA’S THREE SENSATIONS.
Tlie Gas AVar—Nall's Attempted Suicide
and a Penitentiary Scandal.
Atlanta. May 28.—Judge Hammond
ttetlav granted an injunction preventing
the City Council from interfering with
the new Gate City Gas Company in the
matter of laying pipes through the streets.
The city Council had refused this privi
lege to the company because the city
owned a large share of stock in the old
gas company. It is thought, however,
that the light is not yet ended but will be
renewed in some other way.
Nothing new has transpired in the post
office case that the public can get hold of.
Tlie deficiency will probably be made good
by Mr. Nall's friends. Humor says that
he took poison with suicidal intent this
morning, but his fainilv deny it and say
that be simply took an opiate' to quiet his
nerves, which quieting process alarmed
them. Out of this they say grew the ru
mor that it was an attempted suicide.
It is a bad case viewed in anv aspect.
The Board of Health deny that there is
any case of small-pox in the city.
Governor McDaniel spent Sunday at
home, but arrited. here this afternoon.
His attention was called to the drunken
ness and arrest of Dr. J. A. Nelms, sou of
Capt. Nelms, the prinoipal keeper of the
penitentiary, in charge of a convict at
Macon, and the matter will no doubt be
fully invested, as several similar cases
have occurred.
THE CROOK SCARE.
Army Officers Still Confident of the In
dian General’s Safety.
Washington, May 28.—Further infor
mation relative to Gen. Crook's move
ments have been received at the War De
partment. To-day Adjutant General
Drum is disi>osed to credit the report that
Gen. Crook has engaged the Apaches and
defeated them. He thinks that the stories
to the effect that his Indian scouts
turned upon and massacred Gen. Crook
and his command are wholly sensational
and improbable. In the first place,
said Gen. Drum, “no one understands In
dian character better than Gen. Crook,
and he would lie the last man to put him
self iu a position where such a thing
would l>e possible. In the second place,
the Indian scouts left their wives and
children in the custody of the United
States authorities, and would not dare
mutiny, even if so inclined, know ing that
their families were held as hostages, and
again, had such a thing happened, 1
should certainly, ere this, have received
reliable reports in regard to it."
SHOT DOWN AT A SHRINE.
A Lover Kills His Rival. 'Wounds tlie
Girl, and Ends His Own Life.
St. Loris, May 28.—At the Cedar Hill
Catholic Church in Jefferson county,
about twenty-five miles south of this city,
as Martha McDaniel and Amici Deurentz
was Yesterday coining from mass they
were met by lliram Suelluss, who carried
a shot gun. As he approached he shouted,
"Draw your pistol, Ainiel," but without
waiting an instant fired, killing Deu
rentz on the spot. He then discharged
the second barrel at the girl, seriously
and perhaps mortally wounding her. The
murderer then reloaded his gun, and by
means of a forked stick fired again, in
stantly killing himself. Suelluss was 111
years and Deurentz 2:5 years old. The
body of the murdered man was brought
this morning to South St. Louis, where
his relatives reside. The cause of the
shooting is not yet known, but it is proba
bly another case of jealous lover.
BATTLES WITH THE FLAMES.

Charleston, S. C., May 28.—A fire oc
curred here at 4 o'clock this morning

ton. He says that a party of 50U men is

thirty or forty years, and was well known
in Darien and Savannah.

night burned half a block of wooden
buildings, among them being a stable and
twelve horses, valuable carriages, etc.

ings iu all were destroyed.
Shot at His Own Bequest.
Waycross, May 28.—At Moonshine,
on the Waycross and Jacksonville Rail
road, Saturday, a negro trickster, while
carrying on bis antics on a platform for
the amusement of a number of negroes
who bad assembled on the ground, called
out "shoot me." One of the negroes in
the crowd pullet! out his pistol and fired
at him, the ball striking him in the fore
head, and glancing upward plowed up
the flesh and hair aeross his head. The
skull was not fractured and the man will
recover.
Strength for Mind and Body.
There is more strength in a bottle of
Parker’s Ginger Tohie than in a bushel of
malt or a gallon of milk. This explains
why invalids find it such a wonderful in
vigbrant for mind and body.
ALEXANDER’S CROWNING.
MOSCOW NOT YET RECOVERED
FROM ITS ENTHUSIASM.
Crowds Still Flocking to the Palace and
Cheering— Parting Peeps at the Pa
geant—Dignitaries Showering Congrat
ulations from the Orient and from the
Occident.
Moscow. May 28.—Before their Majes
ties left the palace the route to the cathe
| dral was sprinkled with holy water. A
heavy rain fell liefore their Majesties
i started, but just as they took their places
under the canopy the sun shone briliantly.
In the cathedral it was noticed that when
the Czar knelt at one altar to utter a
prayer of intercession his eyes tilled with
tears, and he sobbed audibly as he read.
In making the profession of faith the
t zar s voice was grandly resonant. The
Metropolitan of Novgorod almost broke
down on delivering his allocution.
Mounted (. ossacks patrolled every street,
the troops lining the route of the proces
sion remained bareheaded the whole morn
mg. those who were unable to obtain
admission to the Kremlin remain
ed outside on their knees close
to the walls during the best purt
of the day praying for the Czar. A
correspondent who has witnessed the
greatest pageants of the last thirty-five
years, says that the spectacle culminating
m tlie advent of their Majesties crowneS
and robed was the most imposing and
splendid that he has ever beheld. The
manifesto announces the continuance of
the present state of affairs in Russia, the
conditional pardon of Poles, the remission
of penalties for non-political offenses, and
other matters as previously referred to in
these dispatches.
An imperial rescript, issued to-dav, re
turns the thanks of the Czar to the Grand
Duke Michael for his services, and an
nounces his appointment as a member of
the Committee ot Ministers. The rescript
also says that the Grand Duke Alexis has
been appointed Admiral-in-Chief of the
Russian Navy, and that His Majesty has
made the following awards of the Order
of St. Andrew: To Count Tolstoi, Minister
ot the Interior; Gen. Milertin. former
ly Secretary of War; Count Valujeff;
Gen. Todelben, Gen. Count Adlerberg and
M. Rentern; a portrait of the Czar set in
diamond to Prince Dolgourouki, the Gov
ernor General of Moscow; the order of
St. Alexander Newski to M. Pobiep
lontzff; General Worontcpf Dachkff and
Prince Dondoukoff Korrstoff; and tlie
Grand Cross of St. Vladimir to General
Ignatieff, CountPahlem,General Drenteln
and General Albedinski.
There was a heavy fall of rain late last
night, which interfered with the illumina
tion in honor of the coronation.
Monsignor \ annutelli, special nuncio
of the Papal Court to the coronation, ar
rived here last evening. The Czar will
receive him to-day. His arrival was
specially timed, according to precedent,
iu order that he might avoid being pres
ent at the religious ceremony during the
coronation.
At 10 o’clock this morning the Emperor
and Empress, seated on thrones in St.
Andrew's Hall, began to receive con
gratulations. The reception of the clergy
lasted until 'noon, after which diplomats,
dignitaries, Generals and provincial dele
gates, the latter bringing gifts of native
jewelry, were received.
Tlie cost of the coronation is estimated
at £2,000,000, which will be covered bv an
issue of treasury bills.
Only thirteen newspaper correspondents
were allowed inside the cathedral during
the ceremony. Six were Russians and
seven were foreign, the latter including
one English and one American corre
spondent.
An academy professor and twelve Rus
sian artists have been appointed to make
a complete album of the events of the
coronation. The Kremlin square was so
densely packed that it would have been
impossible for any miscreant to have ex
tricated his arms, should he have intend
ed to use them against the Czar. The
Czar’s crown dates from the period of the
Emperor Paul 1., and is valued at 3,000,-
000 roubles.
The Emperor drove through the streets
last evening, without an escort, to view
the illumination.
The enthusiasm of the people over the
success of the coronation ceremonies is
unabated, and crowds are constantly as
sembling under the windows of the Krem
lin and cheering heartily fot the Czar.
The Czar and Czarina received the
Khar, of Khiva and heir apparent of Boh
kara in a special audience to-day. The
heads of all the foreign States have tele
graphed their congratulation to the Czar.
The telegram ot the Emperor William of
Germany is long and very cordial. The
Court ball this evening was splendid be
yond comparison. Thl Czar and Czarina
participated in tlie polonaise.
The imperial crowns and mantles and
the Emperor's presents were on view in
the large salon of the hall.
Berlin, May 28.—The Russian stan
dard was hoisted on the Embassy yester
day. A solemn to deum was sung in tlie
Embassy Church, at which all the diplo
matic representatives and Prussian Gen
erals and officials were present. The Em
peror, who was slightly indisposed, and
the Crown Prince were represented by
their personal Adjutants General.
The Official Gazette says: “Germany
has special reasons for taking a sympa
thetic interest in the coronation of the
Czar. Family connection and common
interest in peace combine to make Ger
many wish for the successful reign of the
Czar.”
The Nortl Deutsche Zeitumj prays that
the coronation may be the starting point
of anew era of happiness and peace.
London, May 28. —The Times' corre
spondent, who was the only English news
paper representative in the Cathedral,
says: “The ceremony was grand and im
posing. My pen can’give only a dim and
imperfect impression of the event. The
illuminations were magnificent. The city
looked like a mass of variegated fires.”

A GAMBLER'S GOOD LUCK.
[
He Scares a Police Officer and Recov
ers His Seized Spoils.
AV ashington, May 28. —Some days
I since the police made a raid on the prem
; ises of a lottery dealer in this city and
! took from the safe of tlie latter a tin box
containing a quantity of lottery tickets and
| some hundreds of dollars in cash. To-dav
j the dealer began a suit against the Chie’f
! of Police and his subordinates to recover
damages for the forcible entry of his
premises and the breaking open of his safe
in search of criminating evidence. Wm.
J. Dunivan, the property clerk at police
headquarters, was served with a writ ot
replevin, and while Major Dye, Chief of
Police, was absent consulting counsel,
Dttnivan surrendered the captured pro
perty without tlie knowledge or authority

STAR ROUTE BETTERS.
Horsey and the Counsellors Indulge in
Little Brag;.
Washington, May 28.— Mr. Merrick
began his closing argument for the gov
ernment in the star route trial to-day be
fore it large-audience. Referring to an al
lusion by Col. Ingersoll to the possibility
that there might be one or two honest
men on this jury, and construing it to
mean an intimation that what had
been done liefore might be done
again, Mr. Merrick took occasion to assure
the defense that if no verdict was reached
on this trial they would be prosecuted as
long as an atmosphere of purity sur
rounded the administration. The case
would be prosecuted till a verdict was
reached.
“I will be there,” inteijected Colonel
Ingersoll.
“The counsel will not be there,” replied
Mr. Merrick.
“I will bet $l5O a day that I will be
there, though,” exclaimed 8. AV. Dorsey,
from the doorway as he left the court
room.
FRANCE'S HANDS FULL.
Six Thousand Chinese Troops Massed
on the Tonquin Frontier.
London, May 28.—The Times corres
pondent at Paris says that the country is
thoroughly aroused concerning the Ton
quin trouble. It is felt that the time for
reflection is past, and that the only course
for France is to act vigorously, and, above
all things, swiftly. The latest news from
China is that 6,000 troops, armed in the
manner of European troops, have already
arrived at the Tonquin frontier, and that
the feeling throughout China is intensely
hostile to the French.
A dispatch to the Loudon Daihj News
from Hong Kong, dated May *27, says
that China takes a conciliatory atti
tude on the Tonquin question, but
maintains its right of suzerainty over
Tonquin. Chinese troops were not engaged
in the fighting at Hanoi, but a number of
Chinese joined the Annamites. China
will not interfere in the present conflict,
but does not admit the right ot France to
conquer Tonquin.
FINANCES IN THE INDIES.
Settling tlie Debt and Unloading a Sur
plus of Mexican Hollars.
Havana, May 28. — The Spanish bank
of the island of Cuba, which has charge of
the payment of the interest and amortiza
tion of the Cuban debt, has been author
ized to pay in silver to the amount of 5
per cent. Interest and amortization, which
were previously required to be paid en
tirely in gold.
In view of the excess of’Mexican silver
on the island of Porto ltico, the Mercan
tile and Industrial Union there has passed
a resolution demanding the withdrawal
of Mexican coin from circulation, and
that the Treasury shall accept no other
than national coin.
Several Havana papers intimate the dis
covery of new frauds in the Department
of Tax Collections. The officials in charge
ol that department are rumored to have
substituted false for genuine receipts to
the amount of over $1,000,000.

and was also overcome. All three were
then brought to the surface. Mr. and
Mrs. Vanderburgh have since died, but
the laborer is alive, but unconscious.
An Explosion of Escaped Gas.

SAVANNAH, TUESDAY, MAY 29, 1883.
AN ARMED MOB OF WOMEN
TIGERS IN PETTICOATS JOIN THE
ILLINOIS STRIKERS.
The Amazonian Band of Ferocious
Wives and Daughters 150 Strong—
Swept Before Them—Their
Armament the Old-Time Club—The
Situation Critical.
St. Loris, May 28.—Reports from Col
linsville, 111., received lat last night
say that perfect quiet prevailed there all
day yesterday. The militia have had
nothing to do and the few strikers there
have either kept out of sight br manifest
ed no disposition to create any further
disturbances. Reports trom Belleville
and that neighborhood say that the
strikers held several meetings at different
places yesterday but they were
all secret and’ nothing is’ known
ot the striker's proceeding or what they
intend to do. Their future action will
depend largely on what the mine owners
do. Most of the miners will attempt to
resume ojierations to-day, the Sheriff of
the county having given his assurance of
full protection to all men who desire to
work. A considerable nuinbor of
strikers left Belleville Saturday evening
for points south of Cairo. On
the Short Line Railroad, at Lenzburg,
they met a coal train and threatened
to take possession of it, but tißally al
lowed it to proceed. It is stated that the
militia now at and near Collinsville will
be concentrated to-day at East St. Louis,
trom which place they can lie more
promptly distributed to all parts of the
country should occasion require. Guards
will lie left at the Collinsville mine, how
ever. No arrests have as yet been re
ported, Imt quite a number of warrants
are in tlie hands of the Sheriff, and they
will probably be served to-day.
The latest information from the mining
distaicts in St. Clair county, 111., is to the
effect that work was to have been resumed
this morning at the Rose Hill mine, near
West Belleville, but when the men were
about to begin work at a o’clock a band
of 150 women, wives and daughters
of the strikers, marching two abreast,
and armed with stout clubs, appeared on
the scene, and after some altercation
compelled the men to desist and work
was not started. The Sheriff's posse was
driven back by women, and tlie latter are
now in possession of the mine. The mil
itary are assembled iu East St. Louis,
and a detachment will probably be sent to
Rose Hill to restore order and protect
the men who desire to work.
After completing their work at Rose Hill
and leaving a guard there to see that
their mandate was carried out, the women
marched to Reiniek’s mine No. 1, three
miles from Belleville,on the Louisville and
Nashville Railway, and being reinforced
by a large number of strikers
drove out the men working there. The
mob at this point is said to be increasing
rapidly, and now numbers several hun
dred, including about one hundred wo
men, who constitute the most unmanage
able part of the crowd, and are beyond
tlie control ol the civil authorities.
The Sheriff has telegraphed to Governor
Hamilton for military aid. It is known
that work in the mine was stopped, and
that some very ugly threats were made
regarding the consequenees of any at
tempt to resume. At Marissa, some
fifteen miles beyond Belleville, a
crowd of miners appeared in tlie morn
ing, and demanded that work should
cease. Deputy Sheriff Ragland, who was
present with a civil posse, told them that
any interference with the working of the
mine would result in bringing out the
military force, who would arrest all dis
turbers. He then advised them to retire,
and they did so.
Operators Yield the Point.
Dayton, 0., May 28.—The strike at the
Jackson mines has ended by the consent
of the operators to pay at’the rate de
manded. The miners have been unem
ployed two months.
POSTAL NOTES.
The Government Underbid by a Private
Firm.
Washington Special, 35th,
The officials of the Bureau of Engraving
and Printing are said to be exereiseil at
tlie fact that private firms have probably
underbid them for the engraving and
printing of the new postal note. The bids
have not yet been officially made public,
but it is pretty well understood that the
Homer Lee Bank Note Company, of New
York, is the lowest bidder, The other
competitors were the Government
Bureau of Engraving and Printing,
the American Bank Note Company,
and the Columbia Bank Note Com
pany of Washington. Private firms hith
erto have objected to competition on the
part of any of the government depart
ments, for the reason that the Bureau of
Engraving and Printing and the Govern
ment Printing Office, for instance, which
sometimes compete with private citizens
for government work, do not take into
consideration all the elements of
cost, which a private firm is required
to do. For instance, in bidding for
the new postal notes the Bureau of En
graving and Printing was not obliged to
count as elements of cost rent, insur
ance, repairs, maehiuerv and fuel. All
these sums come out of general appro
priations. Tlie system of government
bidding is to count simply the cost of the
material and the labor, "jt is therelore
surprising that in a contract involving
such large expenditure as the engrav
ing and printing ol' the new postal
notes a private firm should have
been able to bid lower than a gov
ernment bureau. The result has given the
officials of the bureau much uneasiness,
and well it may, lor if the bid of the New
York company is bona fide, which there
can lie no reason to doubt, it can hardly
fail to show that the methods of adminis
tration in the Bureau of Engraving and
Printing are more expensive than they
should be. The bid of the Bureau of En
graving and Printing was not voluntary.
The law required that the bureau should
bid. Some years ago a very considerable
portion of the government engraving and
printing was done outside the Treasury
by private companies in New York. This,
within five or six years, has been discon
tinued for two reasons: First, it is claim
ed that the government has better securi
ty if the work is done in Washington bv
its own agents; second, that the govern
ment can do the work cheaper than pri
vate individuals, inasmuch as it has such
a large plant. The result of the bidding
on the postal-notes would seem to indi
cate that a large plant alone is not suffi
cient to reduce the cost of engraving and
printing. The award of this contract will
probably be made next week, and of
course if the Homer Lee Company is the
lowest bidder it will receive the contract.
Prison Tortures.
Den ver, May 28.—The Penitentiary In
vestigating Committee, created bv’ tlie
last Legislature, has filed its report.' The
system of-punishment is shown to be ex
tremely cruel, in some cases resulting
in insanity. The hose bath has been
the favorite method ot punishment. The

fifty pounds pressure, thrown in their
faces for half an hour at a time, with only
short intermissions to prevent their be

His Opinions on Tariff' and Things—
The Present System in Iron.
Xeu York Special, 35th.
At the request of the editor of the
World, Mr. William R. Morrison, of
Illinois, has favored the public with his
views on the tariff question by telegraph.
As Mr. Morrison is sometimes spoken of
as a Democratic candidate for President,
it may be assumed that his platform is
now before the country. The following
is his dispatch:
To the Editor of the World: The Re
publican party is credited with the suc
cess of the war and its results. It may
obtain or keep power and not merit it, but
the Democratic party must deserve to be
before i. will be successful. It is still
true that, as between political parties,
what the laws shall lie and how executed
is more important to the people than who
shall make or execute them. The Demo
cratic party will not get control of the
government by the use of even more
money than the Republicans use in elec-
tions, for any party that buys power will
sell it. The party which uses money to
get offices will use the offices togetmo’nev
back, and succeed.
"The Democratic party must be better
than the Republican party. The political
power is still letj with the people a.id its
exercise is safest when nearest to them.
The government should interfere with
them as little as possible, and not at all
in those things which they can better do
for themselves without inter
ference. Without some vet undis
covered economic mystery through
which the government adds to the
abundance ot the people bv retain
ing part of what is first taken from them,
they wiil not be made more prosperous by
its interference with their business pur
suits or greater use of the taxing power
than its actual needs demand. Such in
terference always leads to legislation, the
benefits of which the fortunate owners of
associate and co-operate wealth get more
and the great mass of men less than be
longs to them.
“The danger is great that money ob
tained by legislation will be used to' pro
cure legislation. This will be avoided if
we limit taxes laid on the people to the
actual needs of the government economi
cally administered. Taxes, of whatever
character, ought to be laid highest on and
so. as to take most from those things
which people can best do without, but no
higher rates should be laid than will raise
the required sum. A higher rate is de
structive of industry and prosperity,
though abundant cheap lands and re
sources may put off the evil dav.
“The aiinuaMreport ot the American
Iron and Steel Association of May 1,
1883, tells the country that- last vear
there was a disagreement as to rates of
wages between manufacturers and labor
ers, the result of which was that "nearly
all iron mills closed and the laborers were
unemployed for months; that there were
more mills than would make all the iron
the country could use; that, therefore,
stopping the mills and the men remaining
idle, was by no means a calamity to
the manufacturers. The calamity then
fell on the laboring men, and
this is the effect of the present system in
iron, and all other over protected indus
tries. In these industries thousands of
millions are invested. Millions of men
are employed and earn about $1 a day
when they work under the present sys
tem.
“The calamity of four months enforced
idleness in a single year falls wholly upon
laboring men, none of it on the manufac
turers, who may close four months when
they will.
“There is such a division among Demo
crats as requires toleration on the tariff
question. But those unwilling to repeal
war rates, which were added to a protect
ive tariff, are entitled to lenienev. Those
who advocate incidental protection, some
protection or any qualified protection,
probably mean no more than is meant by
a tariff only for revenue, for a tariff laid
tor revenue only will afford some advan
tage to our own manufacturers. The di
vision is perhaps more of policy than of
creed.
"There are Democrats who are profess
edly revenue tariff men, but who insist
as a matter of policy that we shall not
say so. The only purpose of silence
would be to hide our real purposes, and
there is great danger that the people
would believe we were thus practicing
deciet to obtain power, and that’any party
that would mislead them to get into power
would disappoint them afterward.
“William R. Morrison.”
A NAVAL CADET’S MISFORTUNE-
Cliargeil with Kleptomania—He is Sent
to the Hospital.
Annapolis Special , 25th.
A most unfortunate case of kleptomania
has been brought to light at the Naval
Academy which may result iu the ulti
mate dismissal of one of the “star” mem
bers of the first class. It appears that
for some time past the cadets have
been missing from their rooms articles
of wearing apparel, trinkets, etc. It
was supposed that they had been
stolen by some of the colored em
ployes, and some had even been dis
charged on this account. But lately sus
picion fell upon Cadet Bowman, of Michi
gan, a member of the graduating class,
which was promptly reported to the au
thorities. It was not deemed expedient
to act, however, without further proof,
and in the meantime a quiet watch was
instituted. It was ascertained Thursday
that a box had been taken from Cadet
Bowman’s room in a surreptitious man,
ner. An orderly was dispatched to the
express office, where it was carried, and
the box was returned to the academy
under authority of the commandant of
cadets. It was opened in the
presence of Lieutenants Potter, Man,
ney, Green and Cadet Bowman, and
the latter did not deny that some of the
contents did not belong to him; in fact,
his strange demeanor led those present
to believe that his mind was affected.
Bowman was relegated to the hospital for
further orders. He is a bright young man,
standing No. 3 in the first class, and much
sympathy is expressed for him. jt is be,
lieved he will either be dismissed or
allowed to resign. It was stated that a
pistol had been taken from him. Fearing
personal violence a guard watches over
him.
Jones, ot Nevada,
Washington Letter to Boston Traveller,
A gentleman here tells a storv of how
Senator Jones,,of Nevada, made the foun
dation of his immense fortune. Through
some chance a man named Haywood,
who, by the way, was a “Vermonter,”
becafne the associate of Jones in a mining
camp. Haywood had a claim on the
mountain side which for a long time did
not seem to amount to much. One day he
came to Jones and said that lie was
“broke," and wanted to borrow $2,000,
promising to make both their fortunes.
Jones said that there were a thousand
men in the mines who were in exactly
the same fix, but he said he would
lend it to him upon tlie condition
that he should ask no more. Said
Jones: “I will give you this money.
I have $3,000 buried under the fireplace,
and when the fire goes out and my China
man leaves, I will get it for you.” Hay
wood took the money and said. “When I
strike it I will give you a quarter in
terest.” Then he returned to his claim,
and Jones thought, of course, that he was
just $2,000 behindhand, A month passed
by, when one evening Haywood burst
into Jones’ cabin, perfectly wild with ex
citement, and told him that he had struck
the richest vein that he had ever seen.
Both men ran to the claim, and Sure
enough Haywood had struck an immense
“bonanza” or pocket of almost pure gold.
They sent for Eugene Kelly, at San Fran
cisco, the greatest mining expert of the
Pacific Slope, and lie at once pro
nounced it the richest mipe in Cali
fornia. This mine was afterwards named
the New Amador, and is called the richest
gold mine ip the world. Then Haywood
sold his property to Weils, Fargo and oth
er capitalists for $5,000,000, and on the dav
of the sale he gave Jones $1,250,000. But
this was not all; one would nave thought
that Jones would have been satisfied with
that, but he wasn’t, and he afterward
quietly intimated to Haywood that he
would like another gift. This time it was
not money, but perhaps you can guess
what when I tell you that pretty Miss
Haywood is now Mrs Senator Jones.

He Relieves it a Decoy.
Dublin, May 28.— Michael Fagan, con
victed of the murder of Mr. Burke in
Phoenix Park on the sixth of last May,
was hanged in Kilmainham jail this morn
ing. The weather was overcast. Fagan
since receiving his sentence has been
very attentive to the instructions of the
priests who have visited him. In
an interview recently with his rela
tives he declared that lie had not
hurt a hair of Mr. Burke’s head. His
mother, who was confident of the inno
cence of her sou. wrote to the Queen re
peating this declaration, hut her letter was
not answered. Canon Kennedy attended
the condemned man this morning. The
black flag, announcing that the execution
had taken place, was hoisted over the jail
at 8 o’clock. A strong force of police and
military was present. Everything went
oft quietly. A small crowd of persons
collected outside the prison, a few of
wliom knelt in prayer for th£ repose of
the soul of Fagan. The condemned man
was pale, hut appeared to he resigned to
his fate. Death was instantaneous.
Yarrell, one of the informers in the tri
als of the Pha*nix Park murderers, has
received £I,OOO from the government, and
Michael Kavanaugb, the car man, anoth
er informer, £250; They have both quit
the country. James Carev, the informer,
and his brother Peter, will receive small
sums for their services.
London, May 28. — Mr. Harrington,
member of Parliment for Westmeath and
proprietor of the Kerry Sentinel, which
was suppressed last week for the publica
tion of a notice requesting persons de
sirous of joining the Invinclbles to attend
a meeting of that body, asked leave in the
House ol Commons to-day to move an
adjournment on the question of the seizure 1
ol his paper. The requisite forty mem
bers did not rise, and the House divided
as to wether Harrington he heard or not,
the vote resulting 137 for and 135 against.
Mr. Harrington denied all knowledge of
a poster inviting people to join the Invincl
bles. He characterized the action of the
government as unusually harsh and with
out precedent. He said that the poster
was infamous, and he w as convinced that
nobody in his office would venture to issue
such a notice in his absence. He be
lieved that it was a decoy, issued for the
purpose of injuring him.
Mr. Trevelyan, Chief Secretary for Ire
land, accused Mr. Harrington of trying
to prejudice in the House of Commons a
case that would shortly come into court.
31 r. Parnell said that the government had
grossly abused its powers as defined by
the crimes act.
The motion was withdrawn.

HOLD BURGLARS.
A Whole Family Chloroformed While
the House U Hatuacked.
ChteaQO Tribune.
About 12 o’clock last night a Tribune re
porter obtained some of the particulars of
three daring cases of burglary that oc
curred yesterday morning at 4 o’clock
and which the police were endeavoring to
suppress. The first of these was com
mitted at No. 182 Sherman street, about
two blocks from the Harrison street sta
tion. The front portion of the house is oc
cupied by a young Hebrew, his wife,
and five children. His mother and
father, grown-up son, occupy
the rear rooms. Between three and four
o’clock in the morning unknown
burglars forced a rear floor and cblqro
formefl the entire household, after which
they dragged two trunks into the back
yard, broke them open, and scattered tlie
contents about, finding only a fine gold
pin, which they took with them. The
clothing they seemed to have no use for,
and left it lying about. 'l'be bureau draw
ers were also searched, hut only u small
amount of plunder was taken. The young
Hebrew's Wife was first from
the stupor, and here screams aroused a
man named Krebs, who lives on the upper
floor, and who put in an appearance with a
big revolver, but was of no assistance be
yond helping to rouse the other members
of the family, Later the old folks saw
three men stop anil peer over the hack
fence, hut when the inmates of
the house gave evidence of being awake
they stole away. A tailor shop just across
the street from No. 182 was broken into,
hut the men were frightened away. On
Sherman street, near Harrison, they
broke into a basement paint shop, and,

THE POPE'S CIRCULAR.
What the Head of the Catholic Church
Thinks of the Parnell Fund.
Philadelphia Record,
In view of the opposition manifested
among many t atholics, not only in this
country but abroad, relative to the orders
issued by Pope Leo XIII. respecting the
Parnell fund, the following will be of in
terest to all members of the faith and
the friends of Ireland, as it is a copy of
the circular issued bv the Holy See on the
11th instant to the Irish Bishops:
“Whatever may be the case as regards
Mr. Parnell himself and his objects, it is
at all events proved that many of his fol
lowers have on many occasions adopted a
line of conduct in open contradiction to
the rules laid down hv the Supreme
Pontiff in his letter to the Cardinal Areh
hishop of Dublin, and contained in the
instructions sent to the Irish Bishops by
this Sacred Congregation, and unani-
mously accepted by them at their recent
meeting at Dublin. It i9 true that, ac
cording to those instructions, it is lawful
for the Irish to seek redress for their
grievances and to strive for their rights
hut always at the same time observing
the Divine maxim to seek first the king
dom of God and His justice, and remem
bering also that it is wicked to further
any cause, no matter how just, by illegal
means.
“It is, therefore, the duty of all the
clergy, and especially of the Bishops, to
curb the excited feelings of the multitude
and to take every opportunity, with time
ly exhortations, to recall them to the jus
tice and moderation which are necessary
in all things, that so they may not be led
away by greed of gain to mistake evil for
good, or to place their hopes of public
prosperity in the shape of criminal acts.
Hence it follows that it is not permitted
to any of the clergy to depart from these
rules themselves, or to take part in or in
anv way promote movements inconsist
ent with prudence and with the duty
of calming men’s minds. It is cer
tainly not forbidden to coilect for the
reliet of distress in Ireland; hut at the
same time the aforesaid apostolic man
dates absolutely condemn such collec
tions as are raised in order to inflame
popular passions and to be used as the
means for leading men into rebellion
against the laws. Above all things, they,
the clergy, must hold themselves aloof
from such subscriptions when it is plain
that hatred and dissensions are aroused
by them; that distinguished persons are
loaded with insults; that never in any
way are censures pronounced against the
crimes and murders with which wicked
men stain themselves; and especially
when it is asserted that the measure of
true patriotism is in proportion to the
amount of money given or refused—so as
to bring the people under the pressure of
intimidation. >
“In these circumstances it must he evi
dent to your Lordship that the collection
called the “Parnell Testimonial Fund”
cannot he approved by this Sacred Con
gregation; and consequently it cannot he
tolerated that any ecclesiastic, much less
a Bishop, should take any part whatever
in recommending or promoting it. 31ean
while we pray God long to preserve your
Lordship.”
THE SPEAKERSHIP.
Mr. Randall’s Methods or Electioneering
—His Punic Faith.
Washington Special Kew York World, 33d.
John E. Kenna, Democrat, was re
elected Representative of the Third dis
trict, West Virginia, last fall by a ma
jority of 4,516. He was subsequently
chosen to succeed Henry G. Davis in the
Senate. At the recent e’lection to fill this
vacancy the Democratic majority fell off
two-thirds, and for a time the Republican
candidate was supposed to have carried
the district.
Just before that election Samuel J.
Randall made a visit to his personal and
political friend Kenna, “to look after
some lands” in that State. His real ob
ject was to, look after the vote of Kenna’s
successor for the Speakership. His pres
ence there seems to have nearly defeated
the Democrats.
Mr. Randall’s methods of direct bar
gaining for places on committees may
win with a certain class of politicians,
who are willing to put up votes against
promises of perferment. But they will
lose in the long run, when these things
are found out.
Benjamin Wilson, late member from
the First district of West Virginia, had
some experience with 3lr. Randall when
the latter was last a candidate for Speak
er. He knows the value of proffered
pledges then made by Randall, and he has
not made a secret of that knowledge in
the State or outside of it.
The Speakerslup is one of the highest
offices under the government and one of
the most responsible. 3lr. Randall used
its power as a desp”* to reward followers
and to punish Peiflocrats
have constantly deffi 7need the electoral
act as unconstitutional, and they have as
sailed Southern Democrats for not filibus
tering aguinst its execution.
That act never could have passed with
out the active aid of 31r. Randall, who
made a point in the Chair, when there
was no necessity for it, to cast his vote In
the affirmative. He brought down the
galleries by that gratuitous demonstra
tion, 3lr, Randall represents the extreme
protection idea.
3lr. Randall also represents the worst
type of American jiolitics. He is a sped,
men of the Pennsylvania school of poli
ticians, of which Simon Cameron may be
called the founder and of which Don
Cameron is now the chief director.
Mr, Randall cannot he elected Speaker
under existing conditions, hut if it were
possible to put him in the Chair by any of
the combinations lor which he is always
ready the Democratic party might as
well hang its harp op the willow and re
nounce the Presidency In 1884 as an un
attainable ambition.
England’s Problem.
Judge Tour gee in the Continent.
There is evidently too much truth in
the oft-repeated assertion of the Land
Leaguers that the present land act is a
farce, i'et it must be confessed that it
was a great way for the British Govern
ment to go. It is a very radical measure,
and by its interference with vested rights
overturns, perhaps, more of the traditions
of the common law than a'liy legislative
measure ever before enacted, The simple
admission that the government can and
will, under proper oircumstauees. inter
fere between landlord and tenant, remit a
portion of the rent and compel the accept
ance of a price not the result of
contract, is one that may well
startle the student of English
law. But that this doctrine
should lie affirmed by a British
Parliament, representing the governing
classes of a nation in which only little
better than one in a thousand owns land
in tee-—a country in which the farmer,
properly so styled, has become almost ex,
tinct by the absorption of the land bv large
estates—seems altogether incredible. So
far its the system of land tenure is a cause
of evil in Ireland, it is the source of like
e\ il in England, Indeed, it is probable
that the middle and lower classes of the
English land workers have been more en
damaged in pounds and shillings by the
exactions of the land-holding class than
Ireland herself. The evil has not be*n
so acute, and the oppressed classes have
been better able to secure temporary
relief by emigration. Nevertheless,
the evil is the same in character apd the
ultimate danger the same. Already it is
asserted by careful statisticians that one
in every sixteen 01 the inhabitants of
Great Britain is a pauper—at least a re
cipient 01 some form of public charity.
rh £ With the prescriptive
Qt tht? Uindlord in Ireland is onlv the
entering w T edge. What is done, no matter
how languidly and indifferently in Ireland
to-day, must ere long be done thoroughly
and effectually in England. That this
principle, lying at the very root of all Eng
lish jurisprudence, should have been over
tinown and discarded in the attempt to
relieve Ireland should, at least, teach the
Irish people t*Wt brains are more effectual
for their Cause than bombs or bludgeons.

NV ashixgtox. May 2S.—Governor But
ler, of Massachusetts, is pretty well able
to take care of himself. He has made the
silk stockings of Beacon street t-r-remble
for many years. He thoroughly disgusted
them when he at last succeeded in being
elected Governor. And he has been sys
tematically worrying them ever since.
He has succeeded in turning the laugh on
them many times. He has held them up
to ridicule of their own making more than
once. He is also holding them up to
shame to a very considerable extent in
exposing the Tewksbury horrors. He keeps
them stirred up about twenty-three hours
a day out of a possible twenty-four. The
internal trouble of Butlerism, which is
now convulsing the silk stockings of Mas
sachusetts, is whether their beteltuir shall
receive the degree of LL. D. from Har
vard College. A Boston politician, of
Mai wart faith, but with an antipathy to
the silk stoekings, told me the situation
to-day. It appears that Butler is a gradu
ate of the Harvard law school. This
would, for a man who has attained the
prominence that he lias, in every other
community, be of sufficient' weight
to induce Harvard College to jump at the
chance of making him an LL. 1). But a
certain portion of the Harvard manage
ment does not seem to be possessed of a
g\ mnastic fever. It has been the custom
ever since Harvard College was organized
for the Governor of the State of Massa
chusetts to attend its annual commence
ment exercises, accompanied by his staff
and to receive the LL. 1). This custom
has been unbroken so far. Mr. E. Rook
wood Hoar is one of the supervisors of
Harvard College. Mr. E. Rockwood Hoar
possesses another distinction. He
is brother to the sanctimonious and
plausible George F. Hoar, the junior Sen
ator trom Massachusetts. Between George
F. Hoar and Butler there has never been
much peace. Butler has been bis bitter
opponent, and in a feeble way George F
lias been Butler’s bitter opponent? So
George F. sicks on bis brother to try and
induce the Harvard management to refuse
the LL. 1). act to Butler. But it appears
thnt the brother docs not ofirry the requi
site armament to bring about such a
result. In fact, it is amost certain that
the great and absorbing national ques
tion whether Butler shall or shall not
receive the degree of LL. I). will be
decided in the affirmative. When this is
accomplished Butler will very likelv de
cline the honor. He will say he don’t
want it. It would be hard to imagine
how Butler could go beyond this in bnll
haiting and scorching the silk stockings.
Butler may not lie much of an aristocrat
but he seems to be able to keep up with
procession. .

Where is President Arthur going after
he gets through his present trip to New
York! 1 This is a question which you may
nave noticed has been variously solved by
many astute correspondents located at
W ashington. The President has not said
where be will go. It lias been announced
that he would stay in Washington, that
he would go East, that he would go West,
that he would go Southwest, and so
on around the compass. The President
himself has said nor announced anything
as to his luture movements. The Presi
dent don’t generally say anything till he
has taken the train upon a pleasure
journey. As would be inferred, the corre
spondents are all at sea as to the Presi
dent’s movements. But they have dis
covered one thing. It is said on “good
authority’’that tho President has given
three months leave to his cook. This
means business. The White House with
out a cook would be a very Sahara to the
President; so it is ably guessed that the
1 resident does not intend to spend very
much time for the next three months in
the W bite House, Who re he is going I
will allow you to guess for yourself.

A party who has just come in from

and became infected with the malaria.
Instead of prompt treatment, however,
he came to New Orleans to share in the
