pressed regret t not arriving sooner, as their

GritUn Sun: Thomas E. Carson, of Pike
county, a farmer who lias enjoyed the good
opinion of his neighbors as well as the citizens
of Griffin has been overtaken in a most dis
graceful affair. His stepdaughter, who lived
with his family, was some weeks ago found to
lie in a most delicaie condition, and Carson
and the young woman some tiiree weeks ago
came to this city and took P e train for some
point north of here. Canon returned, went
home and sold Ins property, and on last Sun
day n'glit took the tra n for. it is sad, Texas.
Before leaving he gave his wife i.BOO and left
money to pav hs indebted ness to some parties
in this place. This is the second time this
man has defamed the sanctity of h s own
house, upon the person of one whom the laws
of God and man command him to guard and
protect instead of debauch and destroy.
Athens Bmntr: The excursion party, while
at Tallulah last Saturday, were startled by
the s!:ar|>. whip-lixe eraek of a pis'ol, fired
nearly in front of Young’s hotel. It seems
that the barkeeper, a colored man named
Porter, who is well known in this place, bad
some words with Henry Thomas aliout insult
ing his w ife while slie was in Athens last
winter. One word brought on another, and
Porter went back into the bar, w hile Thomas
walked t<> the springat the corner of the hotel.
Porter came out of the bar-room with a pistol
n h s hand, and when he found Henry he
eliened tire on him. Afier firing twice, and
missing bo:h times, he tried what virtue there
was hi the pi-tol over Henry’s head. After
giving him three or four licks over the cra
nium, the combatants were separated. The
crowd seemed to he scared worse than the ne
gro who was shot at. There will probably be
n investigation of the facts beforethe courts.
Atlanta Conntifmtion : F. T. Rice, a pri is por
ous DeKalb county farmer, was waylaid by
a fool pad on Decatur street Tuesday night anil
had his throat cut. besides being knocked on
the head. Mr. Kice has a large peach orchard
and Tuesday brought a wagon load of peaches
to the city. Tuesday night he went oat near
ihe Air-Line crossing"to see his daughter, and
about 12 30 o’el ck started hack to the wagon
yard where his team was. When passing
Fort street a negro man stepped in front of'
him and laying a hand on his shoulder, said:
‘•Old man. give me your watch and money.”
Mr. Rice, though well advanced in years, is a
large, strong man. and with his list struek the
footpad a terrible blow in the face. The lick,
though jiovverfnl, had no effect upon the ne
gro. who instantly struek Mr. Rice* over the
head with a heavy stick. Immediately after
giving tb blow the negro threw
one arm around Mr. Rice, and with his disen
gaged hand, drew a large murderous-looking
knife from his pocket which he opened with
his teeth. While this vv as going on he strug
gled manfully and called loudly for help, but
he could not’stop the assassin from his pur
posc. for after opening the knife he drove it
into Mr. Rice’s neck and cut a long gash. The
blood from the wound on the head was drip
ping over Mr. Rice’s face, and believing that
the negro intended to kill him. he dropped to
the ground and feigned death in order to save
his life. As soon as he struck the ground the
negro proceeded to relieve him of his coat,
but after getting :he coat started off, leaving
Mr. Bice on the grouud. As soon as the negro
left him Mr. Rice aro eand sought a police
man. He found Patrolmen Mercer and Loonv
coming to his aid. they having heard his cads,
lint the negro had mu e good his escape, and
the pat<olmen turned tneir auention to Mr.
Rice and conducted him to the citv prison,
where his wounds were attended by a
physician. The wound on h:s head was
a had aud ugly ore. it bled profusely and
was enough of itself to have produced death.
The wound iu the neck, though not danger
ous, was serious. The knife entered near the
ear. and coining forward cut deep until it
rescued the windpipe, where it terminated in
a deep slab. This wound came near b ing a
fatal one. Had the negro pushed the knife
an inch furihir the w ndpinc would have
been severed, or bad the knife entered the
flesh a quarter of an inch further back ihe
jugular vein would have been cut in two. Mr.
.Rice, however, stands tlic wounds well, al
though he lost a good deal of blood. About 1
o’clock Patrolman Pool brought in a darkey
answering the description given by Mr. Rice,
but he was not the one and was released.

ERIN’S NATIONAL LEAGUE
800 ENTHUSIASTIC DELEGATES
ON THE GROUND.
Chairman Sullivan’* Speech Received
with Cheer* Which Make the Rafter*
Bing—Sexton and Redmond Come from
Over the Atlantic to Take Part In the
Deliberation*.
Boston, Aug. 13.—Last night the dele
gates to the convention of the Irish Na
tional League of America held a secret
meeting which lasted until after mid
night. The principal business transacted
was the defining of the policy which
governed the proceedings of the conven
tion to-day. The delegates were nearly
unanimous in favor of prohibiting discus
sion of American politics.
The lowa State League has sent SIO,OOO
to Mr. Sullivan lor the parliamentary
fund.
ASSEMBLING OF' THE DELEGATES.
The delegates to the convention began to
assemble in Faneuli Hall, at IX :30 o’clock
this morning, and by noon the hall was
pretty well filled with delegates, who
numlier 800, and the galleries were
crowded with spectators. Among the
delegates and spectators area great many
ladies, many of them being representa
tives of the women’s branch of the league
recently established by Mrs. Parnell.
The delegates present a Tine appear
ance, and form a representative body
of Irishmen. Throughout the body
of the hall are many gentlemen
whose habiliments indicate their priestly
calling. Although it was announced that
the convention would be called to order at
It o’clock, the delegates, at 12:15 o'clock,
had not all arrived. Faneuil Hall was
never more profusely decorated than this
morning, and even r feature ot adornment
indicated the gathering of the hosts of
Erin’s sons.
SOME OF THE SHINING LIGHTS.
Among the prominent gentlemen pre
sent are Rev. P. Cronin, of Buffalo; .Jas.
Mooney, the Land League;
John J. Hines, National Secretary; James
Hagerty. of New York; Dr. Wm. B. Wal
lace, of New York; Jno. Devoy and Judge
John Rooney, of New Y’ork. P. A. Collins,
of Massachusetts; Rev. T. J. Connolly, of
Worcester; liev. P. V. McKenna, of Hud
son, Mass.; Dr. AVrn. 15. Cole, of Balti
more; Rev. M. C. Brennan, of Baltimore;
Rev. M. V. Gannon, of Iowa;
Rev. Dr. Charles Riley, of
National Treasurer of the League;
P. F. McGrath, of Binghamton, N. Y.;
William Connelly, Superintendent ol
Castle Garden, New York; Airs. 1). T. S.
Parnell, mother of Charles Stewart Par
nell and Airs. Alexander Sullivan;
Tynan, who is known as “Number 1;”
Thomas Sexton, member of Parliament
for Sligo, and William E. Redmond, mem
ber ol Parliament for Wexford, who ar
rived in New York last night, and ar
rived here this afternoon under escort of
J. P. Ryan, President of the Alunicipa!
Council of the Irish National League in
New York.
At 1:30 o’clock when Hon. Alexander
Sullivan entered, leaning on the arm of
J. Boyle O’Reilly, his appearance was the
signal for prolonged applause, which was
repeated when the Chairman shortly
afterwards took his place upon the plat
form.
NO SIGN OF CESSATION.
Hats and were waved
and the delegates rose to their feet in their
enthusiasm. When silence was restored
Mr. Sullivan advanced to the Speaker’s
table and called the convention to order.
The enthusiasm during the delivery of the
Chairman’s address was unbounded, and
frequently delegates stood upon chairs,
waving their hats and shouting. Thu ap
plause began in the first paragraph
of the address and the speaker
was compelled several times to aw’ait the
subsidence of the tumult before he could
continue. When the speaker referred to
the work of the National League in Ire
land, the convention rose en masse and
cheered, which was repeated when he ac
cused the English Government of briuging
famine upon Ireland. When the speaker
said: “The shamrock on the banner
of the Irish National League, tear-be
dewed in its native bed, is the symbol
of the glorious union ot that race in their
homes, separated by seas, united by the
determination of the race to achieve the
independence of the nation,” the ap
plause was tremendous and it was long
before quiet was restored. At other
points in the address these scenes were
repeated as this eloquent speaker pro
ceeded.
ALEXANDER SULLIVAN’S .ADDRESS.
Gentlemen <f the Convention: In the name
nn<t by the authority of the Irish National
League of Amer ca, we meet to fulfill the re
quirements of its constitution; to convey to
our kindred the message of our steadfast'de
votion; and to receive the ambassadors whom
they have contmissiov.ed to acquaint us v. ith
the progress ef their struggle for self-govern
ment. The memorable Philadelphia conven
tion organized the Irish National League of
America. It is the auxiliary of the ii isli Na
tional League of Ireland, the heir of all the
hopes, and the guardian of more than the
aims of that great social revolt which lifted
the Irish farmer from the earth to his feet,
and cast the Fmglish system of landlordism in
Ireland on its face on the earth. The Land
League was born in an hour of woe, when the
spectre of Famine appeared, summoned, not
by the breath of God withering the harvests,
but by the English government. With
armies and fleets, with prisons
and scaffolds and felon ships," with
coercion acts and constabulary, it enabled the
landlord to withhold, until purchased by for
eign chanty,the food the people had produced
iiy their own labor out of their own soil. Hu
mane, nay, humble as was the first object of
thy Land League, it was suppressed by force
bdfause the English Government feared that
from the brow iff its humanity would spring
the spirit of liberty. The Irish National
League, whoso distinct aud avowed purpose
is the establishment of the sovereignty of the
Irish people in Ireland, is the embodiment of
that spirit of liberty. It cannot be suppressed,
for its spirit is immortal. It is beyond the
scope of coercion acts, f o r its life is as endless
as the life of n race. The shamrock, on its
banner, tear-bedewed in its native bed. is the
symbol of the glorious union of that race in
three homes, separated by the seas that di
vide continents. united by the determination
of a race to achieve the independence of a
nation.
As the Land League accomplished the re
lief of a class, the National League repre
sents the aspirations and the resolve of an
entire people. As the farmers have been the
chief beneficiaries of the struggles ami sacri
fices thus far made, the Irish people through
out the world, who participate in the strug
gles and share the sacrifices, admonish the
Farmers that they owe a duty to their country
in an earnest support of the aims of the
National League. We warn them that until
the chief object of the National League is
achieved national self-government —their
own position is still unsafe. The National
League aims not merely at a reduction of
rent.-: not merely at a change from idle pro
prietors to working proprietors, but at the
creation of complete national life aud the de
velopment of ail the diversified industries
which render a people self-sustaining and
prosperous.
The work of the League in the United States
has been directed first to sending a.d to the
treasury in Irelaud. whose moderate require
ments, in the absence of any emergency, have
been fairly met. and to the enlightenment and
solidifica’ton ot American opinion. While
for- e is still able to prolongde-potisin. justice
is not dependent on arms alone. Ireland, un •
able to cope with the empire that denies her
a constitution anil parliament, appeals from
the bayonet of her invader to the conscience
and the mind of mankind, and asks whether
her demands are not just, and whether her
patience, her morality and her perseverance
nave not been sublime.
It is now apparent to thoughtful men on
both sides of the sea that the interests of the
American republic are identical with the in
terests of Ireland. Every year that witnesses
the denial of self-government for Ireland is a
year of taxation upon a considerable portion
of the American people for the support of the
English crown in Ireland. The drain of
inonev from the toilers of the United States to
aid their kindred in Ireland will Ibntinue
until the government which they detest, and
which keeps them poor and dependent, is ex
pelled.
It has been the practice of the English Gov
ernment for more than a generation to drive
vast numbers of the Irish people off small
agricultural holdings into loul and vicious
dens called poorhouses. Being thus reduced
to poverty, their children robbed of an oppor
tunity to acquire bread-getting skill, they
have been forced into the pits of ocean ves
sels, and cast penniless upon the crowded
cities of our seaboard.
In directing the attention of our govern
ment to this violation of international rights,
we discharged a duty to the American tax
payer and wage-worker, while we fastened
the attention of the world upon a long-lived
English lie—namely, that Ireland is over
populated for we showed that only 3,000,000
acres out of 20,000,0u0 of her soil 'are under
tillage, and that, if permitted to govern her
self, Ireland is capable of supporting live
timt s her population.
Of the National Convention of each of the
great political parties, we requested and re
ceived a pledge that English landlordism,
which is nearly expelled lrom Ireland, shall
nothin permitted to transfer its evil seeds to
American soil. In adopting this peaceful
method of prevention, rather than waiting
until the cure of force should be required,
we rejected the policy of Mr. Gladstone, who
could not disestablish an alien church uutil,
according to his own avowal, explosives had
resounded in Englaud. and we have relied on
agitation to effect public benefits, tbs follbw
ing the principles of Charles Stewart
Parnell. No man can doubt that
if the hereditary land monopolists of Great
Britain fastened themselves upon our free
soil, the day would inevitably come when the
sturdy settlers, with arms and vengeance,
would drive them off as they drove the red
marauders, wnose natural title was better
SAVANNAH, THURSDAY, AUGUST 14, 1884.
than any that can be acquired by foreign
aristocrats from native land grabbers, whether
individual or corporate. The Irish National
League will persist in exacting the fulfillment
of these pledges, until the enactment of na
tional and State constitutional amendments
shall insure the republic against the reopen
ing of the Irish land question upon American
soil.
Fellow countrymen, the only credentials re
cognized on this floor are the credentials of
the Irish National League. Un yonder
threshold we dropped our character as mem
bers of American parties. The only demand
the Irish National League makes in’American
politics is the demand for the elevation of
American citizenship at home and abroad.
We meet in the historic city of the republic,
hallowed by the earl est struggles of the
American people against the foe whom Ire
land shall vet win to terms of peace—strug
gles in which our race was valiant in arms
and discreet in council. We meet in the hall
over which the genius of Liberty preside-:
whose walls have resounded to the inspired
words of him who stand* to all lands and all
races and all ages as the ideal of American
citizenship—the loverof Emmet, the friend ot
O'Connell—Wendell Phillips. 'lhe proudest
name to which we aspire we accept as he
realized it with its highest and fullest stgnifi
c ince, with all itsresriiusibiliti.sand. il its
duties—the name of American citizen. To
ennoble it by our character as a race, aud by
our conduct’as individuals, h the resolve of
everv man who is determined to aid his
countrymen in the achievement of national
self-government for Ireland.
The Secretary then read the call by
which the second National Convention of
the League was assembled, after which
Chairman Sullivan announced that by a
unanimous vote of the National Conven
tion the following were recommended as
temporary officers of the convention, and
they were elected by a unanimous vote:
For Temporary Chairman.|ex-l’resident of
the League James Mootiey of Buffalo;
Secretaries, Charles AlcGlaw of Penn
sylvania. Al. ,T. Griffin of lowa, and
Thomas J. Fiatley of Massachusetts. Air.
Mooney in taken the chair briefly ad
dressed the convention. The rules ot the
last convention at Philadelphia were
adopted. The usual committees were ap
pointed and an adjournment was taken
until 8 o’clock to-night.
THE EVENING SESSION.
The evening session was called to order
at about 8:10 o’clock. The Committee on
Credentials reported through Judge
Rooney, of New York, that trom some ot
the States there were societies not in good
standing, but that there was no over re
presentation. The Secretary of the com
mittee then read the long roll of delegates,
footing up 381. Some additions were then
made, making the whole uumber over
400 At this point the audience rose and
broke into tumultuous cheers as Airs.
Parnell, and Alessrs. Sexton and Red
mond, members of Parliament, came in
escorted by Gen. P. A. Collins and sev
eral other gentlemen. When Air. Sexton
was first introduced the audience stood up
and cheered. AVhen quiet was restored
ho addressed the convention for an hour,
keeping the enthusiasm of the audience
at the tumultuous pitch!
Air. Sexton said:
SEXTON’S SPEECH.
Ladies andgkntlemen: The Chairman has
introduced me to you as Mr. Sexton, from
Ireland [laughter and applause], but aslhave
listened to the generous cheer with which you
received the introduction, I found it hard to
believe that I was not Mr. Sexton in Ireland
[laughter and ai plause], because nowhere
upon the soil of Ireland to-day could the ap
pearance of any public man in Connemara or
the plains of Tipperary be greeted with cheer*
more evidently springing from the
Irish heart, more obviously ut ered by
Irish tongue, more clearly proviug that
indestructible adhesion to one another
of the scattered fractions of the Irish race,
which neither time nor.circumstances, nor
calamity nor distance have ever been able to
breakdown. [Applause.] It is .this solidity
of the Irish race—it is this obstinate adher
ence of men and women of one kitli and kin to
the hopes, to the rights, of their race, that Is
making us in Ireland feel that it is no longer
with hope, hut with absolute confidence that
we regard the future [applause], because the
oppressor is made to feel, as the world feels to
day, that lie has no longer to deal merely in a
small isolated island with 3,000,000 or 5,000,000
of weak and disarmed people, but that he has
to grapple with the intellectual force of the
public opinion of 25,000.( 00 of the Irish race
scattered by bis own evil policy all Ihe world
over and affecting by their intelligence the
conductor the greatest nations of the earth.
! Applause.]
A REFERENCE TO PARNELL.
Ladies and gentlemen, in the name of the
Irish people aud of the Irish National League
and of the Irish Parliamentary party
and its illustrious leader [great applause],
1 salute this great convention of our race,
this convention which, by good order and the
propriety of its deliberations, discretion and
the judgment of the conclusions at which it
shall arrive, will prove to all observers in de
fiance of all calumniators that capacity of
deliberation upon important questions and
for self-government, which our eueniies
would fain deny us. [Applause.] In paying
my first visit to this great country, which I
have longed wished to visit, both as a lover of
national liberty and also as an Irishman, 1
count ruvself peculiarly fortunate in that I am
etutb’ed to com tense into the experience of a
few hours in this city of Boston what other
wise I could not hope to gain by over a year
of travel, for here in this historic hall and in
this illustrious city, rich in Iraditions of
patriotic self-sacrifice and devotion, it is my
peculiar good fortune to meet in this inspiring
arena an assemblage representing every State
and Territory of litis Union, an assemblage of
men, national leaders of the Irish race on the
American continent, men qualified by public
service, by character, by capacity to interpret
the thoughts and utter the sentiments of the
Irish race upon this great continent. [Ap
plause.] I also congratulate the convention
iu that its assemblage is graced by the pres
ence of the gifted lady, who verifies and em
phasizes the tradition of the devotion of her
family to 1 lie cause of liberty. [Applause].
MRS. PARNELL'S WELCOME.
To this lady, great as a woman and illus
trious as a mother, I can tender on behalf of
you our most respectful and most
cordial welcome. -[Applause.] Ladies
and gentlemen, I will say that I
am here not only as a dele
gate of the Irish Parliamentary party,
but of the Irish National League. [Applause.]
That 1 am here to speak to the people of
America, not only on behalf of that party
which faces the oppressor of our race on the
floor ot the Home of Commons, lint also to
utter the -entimentsof that organization which
trains and organizes the resolution, ingenuity
and strength of the Irish people for the strug
gle upon the soil of Ireland. [Applause.] I
am here as a representative of United Ireland.
[Great applause and cheers.] lam here tosay
that there is no difference in principle, no
difference in intention between the men who
• onfront the oppressors of onr country in the
legislative arena and the men who conduct
the public cause at home. [Applause aud
cries of “Good.”] Aid while F declare that
there is at this moment perfect identity of
action, perfect unity of principle between the
people in Ireland and those who struggle for
them in the English House of Commons, I be
lieve I may add that no man who at tins mo
ment commands the confidence and love of the
Irish people will, in the critical future which
is near approaching, which will decide not
only’ the social hut political rights of our race,
interpose any personal view or preference of
his own iT he find* that it will have the effect
of injuring the unity of the people or of en
dangering the success of our cause. [Ap
plause.]
A PLEA FOR UNITY.
Speaking to you, then, as a spokesman of
united Ireland. I would say that I have confi
dence that you will prove on this occasion that
the Irish race, long schooled in political adver
sity. has learned to extract front it sweet re
sults; and that, looking hack upon the past of
our country, disfigured along the hideous
track of oppression and of suffering, you
will resolve that the historian will not have to
say that you added to these landmarks by
your disunion, hut that you will reflect in
your conclusions here that unity to which
ihe people at home have been driven, and
that to whatever conclusion you may come, it
will be the conclusion of you all. and that
whatever step you may take to break down
the power of the oppressor, that step you will
take all together, ami that there shall be no
disunion in all your ranks. [Great applause.]
William Redmond, member of Parlia
ment, was next introduced as a former
visitor in America and was received with
much applause. Air. Redmond spoke
briefly, iu the course of his remarks
saying:
Last year I had the honor of attending a
convention somewhat similar of representa
tives of our race in Australia. Small though
it was, it was as distiuctly representative of
the patriotism of the Irish people of Austra
lia as this great assemhlv is of the. patriotism
of the Irish people of the United States.
[Great applause.] Next month an assemblage
similar to this will tkc place in Ireland [ap
plause]. and thore and then we will he able to
make of England a demand for the govern
ment of our country [applause] with all the
more emphasis, because we can point besides
to the convention of Irish in America and the
convention of the Irish in Australia. [Great
applause.]”
MBS. yARNELL HEARD.
The President then introduced Airs.
Parnell as the most distinguished
woman on the American soil.
She was given an ovation, the
audience standing and applauding
and giving three cheers. Airs. Parnell said;
Ladies and Gentlemen: I did not expect
to address you at all to-night, and, therefore,
all that I can do is perhaps to emphasize
those words which have preceded mine. I
have seen you listening here. I must say to
the voice of the charmer: ‘'Charming ever so
wisely, and you wisely listening.” And I ahi
delighted to hear that those hopes and expec
tations which you have ciung to so ardently
and so earnestly and for so many years, I may
say ceuturies, are about to be speedily real
ized. [Applause],
This gentleman has said that you have a
great advantage in being scattered over the
world, and I believe it is one of the
greatest advantages that Irishmen
could have had, because they have
made themselves such a nmnerou-, such a
wealthy, such an Intelligent, such an impor
tant race the wide world over. [Applause.]
To-night I will speak of my country, where I
believe the Irishman reigns supreme, the mon
arch of all he surveys. If we believe what we
sometimes hear of America’s jealous fear,
you must excuse a little jealousy on our side.
I am an Irish-American, a descendant Irom
the Irish. Sometimes I feel a little jealous ray
self, and I would like the Americans to stand
up like the Irish and aisert themselves
as the Irish do. especially when they have
British to contend with. [Great applause.]
You have heard him say that he sees vou
standing all the world over. Indeed you "are
live the Pillars ot Hercules, on'yinstead of
many legs and a great many leet. [Ap
plause.] I believe that is an omen for good,
and that these numerous legs and numerous
feet will carry you on when the time comes
to complete victory, and to gain the complete
independence of your glorious and beautiful
and ever green island. [Great applause!.
THE ORGANIZATION.
The committee on permanent organiza
tion and rules reported rules substantially
the same as those ot the Philadelphia
Convention last year, and the following
list of officers: President, Air. Gannon,
of Iowa; Vice Presidents, Thomas Sexton,
William E. Redmond and one from each
State represented; Secretary, W. Gleason,
of Ohio; Assistant Secretaries, Charles
AlcGlove of Pennsylvania, J. J. Sheehan
of Alassachusetts, M. L. AlcGove of New
York, and Dr. Cole of Maryland.
The rules and list of officers were unani
mously adopted. Rev. P. A. McKenna,
Jeremiah Gallagher and John F. Arm
strong were appointed a committee to
conduct Mr. Gannon to the chair. Air.
Gannon on taking the chair was enthusi
astically received, and spoke briefly. He
said that he felt that the place where he
stood was holy ground. In historic Bos
ton within easy distance of the fields of
American liberty Irishmen “ecalled that
it was the example of America that
spurred them to achieve liberty for their
country.
Dr. O’Reilly, of Detroit, the Treasurer,
then presented his report.
SEXTON AND REDMOND LAND.
New York, Aug. 13.— Thomas Sexton,
accompanied by William Redmond, ar
rived on the steamer Nevada, of the Guion
Line, to-day, and an hour later started for
Boston to attend the Land League Con
vention in that city. Air. Sexton was es
corted from the steamer to the cars by a
committee of the council of the National
League, headed by President J. P. Ryan.
Mr. Sexton said that his relations with
both Parnell and Davitt were of the most
friendly nature find that the two Irish
leaders were not estranged. He expects
to remain in this country about a month,
and says that he will return here two
years hence.
In conversation during his brief stay in
this city to-day, on his way to Boston, Air.
Sexton said: “My only purpose in this
visit to America is to observe the forma
tion and system of the league, and to dis
cuss, as far as possible, methods for the
fostering of harmony, for on harmony
alone depends the successful carrying out
of the principles of the league. Ido not
deem it wise in a year like this, when the
country is absorbed in a Presidential con
test, to endeavor to gain attention for anv
other subject. I shall probably return
home ou Aug. 30, as political events
will require my attention soon.
After next year, however, I shall
come again and address the citizens of
your country on the subject of the work
we have in hand.” When asked if he had
any special news from the other side, Mr.
Sexton said: “No; affairs remain about
the same. The land laws are badly ad
ministered. The government has’ ap
pointed laud commissioners who are in
sympathy with the landlord class and
they broke the back of the Ilealev act.
That a tenant should be compelled
to pay rent on his own im
provements is a shameful thing,
and the League’s first effort is to forward
the abolishment of that system. When
we accomplish that the adjudication of
rents will be taken up. No doubt that
the question will require long considera
tion.”
PARNELL AND DAVITT.
“What are the essential differences be
tween Alessrs. Parneil and Davitt? We
have heard over here that Mr. Davitt has
been ostracised.”
Mr. Sexton seemed surprised at these
words and answered: “There must be
some mistake about that. Mr. Davitt has
a plan of his own for the benefit of the
tenants, but that he has been ostracised
by the Parnell party is alto
gether wrong. He and I trav
eled together to the Leitrim
convention. So you see we must be
friendly, and ho assured me that he would
allow no personal preferences to stand in
the way .of unity, in which there is
strength, you know. Everybody has great
respect tor Air. Davitt. Ho is a man ot
great thought, and has suffered severely
for the cause. Any statement that there
is any ill feeling between Parnell and him
is erroneous.
It has been suggested that a meet
ing be organized when Air. Sexton
returns from Boston for the purpose of
giving him a reception, and affording him
an opportunity ot explaining the work of
the Land League.
VIRGINIA’S SPECIAL SESSION.
Over Three-Quarters of tho Members
Answer to Their Names.
Richmond, Va., Aug. 13.—The General
Assembly met at noon to-day in extra
session. Over three-quarters of the mem
bers of each House answered to the roll
call. A joint committee waited on the
Governor to inform him that the Legisla
ture was ready to receive any communi
cation he might wish to make, and he sub
sequently repoited that he would com
municate in an hour, whereupon both
houses took a recess for that time,
upon reassembling, a brief message from
the Governor was presented, it; which,
after giving his reasons for responding to
the demand for the extra session by call
ing the Legislature together, he says that
although there were some errors of laws
which called for correction, and 6ome
matters on which new legislation will be
desirable, lie did not then, nor does he
now, recognize such necessity a9 would
have justified him, in the absence of the
constitutional demand, in convening the
special session.
In the Senate two resolutions were in
troduced looking to the question of
whether members shall take any pay for
the extra session. Both were laid on the
table. Senator Wickham introduced a
resolution requesting the Governor to in
form the Senate whether or not any facts
have come to his knowledge that will
make any legislation necessary at this
time to enforce the provisions of previous
acts to protect the credit of the State. At
2 o’clock, after eulogistic remarks, the
Senate adjourned in respect to the me
mory of the late Senator Crumpbler, of
Isle of Wight county, who had died since
the last session. The House adjourned
immediately after reading the Governor’s
message.
In the Ilouse, Speaker Stuart intro
duced a bill for the reapportionment of
the State districts for Presidential elect
ors.

EXECUTED IN THE ARCTIC
PRIVATE HENRY SHOT DEAD
for Stealing food.
Lieut. Greely Acknowledges Issuing the
Order which Sounded the Famishing
Explorer's Knell—Cannibalism Not
Known of by the Rescued Leader—
The Fleet Still in Commission.
Portsmouth, N. H., Aug. 13.—An
Associated Press reporter had an inter
view with Lieut. Greely to-day on the re
ports of cannibalism which have attract
ed so much attention during the past two
days.
THE MARCH SOUTHWARD.
Lieut. Greely being asked what truth
there was in the article published in the
New York Times of yesterday, he gave an
account of the various events of the latter
part of the retreat southward from Fort
Conger. About Nov. 1 the party began to
be served with one quarter rations, and
debilitated health soon showed the effect
of this insufficient lood. The men were
not before this in as good condition to
withstand Arctic weather as thev
had been the year before. About Nov. 1
provisions were missed from the stores,
and itwas concluded that they must have
been stolen. Much complaint was made
by the men and the threats against
the thief were loud. Jan. 24
the partv was near perishing from
asphxia and several of its members were
unconscious. Private Henry during this
terrible experience was seen by one of the
Esquimaux to steal some ol" the bacon
from tbe stores. He soon afterwards was
taken ill from over-loading his stomach
and vomited up tbe bacon undigested.
CLAMORING FOR HENRY'S LIFE.
An investigation was had and Henry
was proved guilty, not only of this, but of
several previous thefts. It was a terrible
state of affairs. Henry’s indignant com
rades demanded his death over and over
again. Henry promised to reform, but this
did not still the clamor for his life.
Lieut. Greely remonstrated with his men
and all was quieted. Taking Henry in
hand Lieut. Greely represented to him the
enormity of his offense and pointed out to
him the necessity for concerted ac
tion in the party if all be
saved. Henry was then placed
under guard for several weeks, until the
increasing feebleness of tbe other mem
bers of the party rendered it necessary
for them to avail themselves of Henry’s
personal services. Shortly afterward
he stole liquor from the stores and
became intoxicated. Again his comrades
clamored for his life and again Lieut.
Greely restrained his men. On June 5
ho again stole and carried away some of
tbe provisions. Lieut. Greely spoke
firmly to Henry and told him that it would
be policy for him to stop.
GREELY’S APPEAL.
He said:. “For God’s sake, Henry, as
you seem to have no moral sense, remem
ber that our lives depend upon our hold
ing together.”
With great earnestness Henry promised
not to be guilty of theft again. Lieut.
Greely felt that he could not trust
Henry. After revolving in his
mind their circumstances, the
Lieutenant on his own responsibility is
sued a written order, now-in possession of
one of-the survivors, commanding that
Henry be shot on sight for the commission
of any more thefts of food. At this time
the party had left as a last resort the
last piece of sealskin and such
shrimps as they could procure.
About June 0 Henry went to the old win
ter quarters at Gamp Glay, near Cape
Sabine, and stole some of the last seal
skin, which was the only food left.
He also took the last pair of boots
in the stores. On being closely ques
tioned by Lieut. Greely he admitted
his guilt. He was again ready with
promises to do better. His fate was upon
him. He was alone in the afternoon of
that day a little distance at the rear of tbe
summer quarters. The written order for
his execution was committed to three of
the party.
SHOT WITHOUT WARNING.
They were ordered to shoot him, encoun
tering as little danger to themselves as
possible, as Henry was the strongest of
the party. Sadly the men departed on
their terrible errand. Their comrades
left in the camp turned their eyes to the
ocean. In a few minutes the breeze bore
to their ears the sound of two quick
pistol shots. Allwere silent. Slowly after
short intervals the men returned. Tbe
written order was handed to Lieut.
Greely and the horrible but necessary
execution’was over. Henry was never
Reen again by his comrades, and his body
was understood to be interred at
the foot of the northwest
ice floe. The order for the execution of
Henry -was that afternoon read to the
survivors, and all concurred in the justice
and necessity ot the act. No report of
the manner of his death has ever been
made to Lieut. Greely, and the
survivors tacitly ignored the ter
rible remembrance. As far as
the reports ot cannibalism are concerned
Lieut. Greely says that they are false.
Of his own knowledge he knows of noth
ing of the kind and the survivors all in
dignantly deny it. If auy cannibalism
took place Lieut. Greely emphatically
says that it was in secret, and not in
dulged in by tbe party, but to the best ol
his knowledge there was none.
“Why ?” said Lieut. Greely, “why did
we not allow poor Ellison to die if we
were so past the line between humans
and savages ? Why did we share our food
with him to the last drop.”
UNANSWERABLE LOGIC.
Indeed, Lieut. Greely’s logic was un
answerable. Lieut. Greely says that he
has never seen the bodies since they were
disinterred, and does not know what their
condition is. As to the Times’ statement
that he did not wish the bodies
disinterred, Lieut. Greely said:
“Often in talking over what
seemed to be inevitably our fate, the men
expressed a wish to be buried ou the
verge ol the great Polar sea, by whose
shores they had met their death. Out of
deference to the solemn wishes of the
dead, I spoke against disinterring the
bodies, and for no other rea
son. Had I died, I should
have wished a grave in the North. All
through the retreat discipline, with the
exception of Henry’s thefts, w r as well
maintained, and all yielded implicit obe
dience, even to the last dread day on Point
Sabine.” A verbal report was
made to Gen. Hazen by Lieut. Greely
shortly after tbe arrival of tbe relief ex
pedition at Portsmouth in regard to the
execution of Henry. Gen. Ilazen said:
“It was not only justifiable, but the
noblest thing in the expedition. A writ
ten report was submitted by Lieut. Greely
to the War Department" a few days
ago fully covering Henry’s case.
A COURT-MARTIAL ASKED.
A court-martial has been asked by for
Lieut. Greely, if the facts seem to' the
War Department to warrant it. In clos
ing Lieut. Greely said: “I regret that
the responsibility of deciding Henry’s
ease was thrust upon me, but 1 felt that I
should have failed in my duty to the
rest ot the noble men of my command,
had I not acted as I did. “Lieut. Greely
goes to Newburyport to-morrow to attend
a reception, flis comrades will not ac
company him, as Private Conn has
been seized with a slight fever,
nnd the others will not go unles
all can go. Lieut. Greely will return
here Friday morning. The American
Yacht Club of New York invited him to
day to be present at their banquet to the
officers of tbe Relief Expedition at Del
mouico’s next Friday. He lias declined
on the ground of ill nealtb.
Sergeant Krainard, who is in the hospi
tal at the navy yard, confirms Lieut. Gree
ly’s statements. More than a week ago
Lieut. Greely forwarded to the Secretary
of War a detailed report of Henry’s exe
cution. Upon proper representations to
Secretary Lincoln, a court of inquiry will
undouotedlv be ordered.
FUTURE OF THE FLEET.
Orders have been issued from the Navy
Department for the vessels of the Greely
relief expedition to land their surplus
stores at the navy yard at New
York, and to remain in commission
at that port until further orders.
These orders were issued upon telegraphic
advices from Secretary Chandler at Ports
mouth, N. H. It is not known when the
officers and crews will be detached, but it
is supposed that they will remain with
their vessels until the latter are put out
of commission and the men discharged,
which is not likely to occur for some time
yet. The propriety of returning the supply
ship Alert to the British Government by
whom it was presented to the United States
wholly and unconditionally isquestioned

HEROIC POES TO FIRE.
Two Brave Men of tlie Boston Brigade
Lay Down Tbeir Live* In the Flame*.
Boston, Aug. 13. —At an early hour
this morning fire occurred in the four
story brick building Nos. 108,110 and 112
Beach street, owned by Henry Faxon.
The building was occupied in the base
ment as a storehouse for old bottles. On
the first floor were Potter & Watson, man
ufacturers of sole leather, shoe machin
ery, etc. The second and a portion of the
third story were occupied by the firm of
F. H. Wheelock & Cos., manufacturers
of lace goods, rulflings, etc. The
remainder of tbe third and upper floor were
occupied by Caton, Heckle & Cos., manu
facturers ot straw and felt hats. Caton,
Heckle & Cos. suffer a total loss on stock
and machinery amounting to $20,000.
Wheelock & Cos. lose about the same.
Potter & Watson’s loss will reach about
$15,000, and the building was damaged
$15,000. The insurance practically covers
all tbe losses. A sad incident of the tire
was the terrible death of two firemen of
steamer No. 4, veteran Joseph Pierce,
one of the be3t hosemen in tbe city, and
Joseph Quigley of South Boston. The men
carried a line of hose to the top of the
blazing building, but had hardly set foot
upon the roof when it fell in
with a crash and precipitated the men
to the floor of the upper story
into a seething mass of flames.
At about 4 o’clock, when the fire was sub
dued, the bodies of the men. burned to a
crisp, were found lying close together
on the fourth floor. Pierce was a well
known member of the department. It
was he who, when everybody else re
treated from their posts, held his position
at the fire at Lowell’s gun store, a year
or more ago, and not all threats, nor olt-re
peated warnings of the danger of a pow
der explosion could drive him from it. He
was a faithful worker, and had often been
injured in his efforts to save the property
of others. He was married, while his
companion in death was a single man.
A TOWN DESTROYED.
Erik, Pa., Aug. 13.—About 3 o’clock

be got under control. The business por
tion of the town is now in ashes. Among
the blocks destroyed are Town and
Loomis’ Halls, Belknapp’s, Union and
Haynes’House. These and the Presby
terian Church, mostly fine brick build
ings, were built since the tire of 1871,
when this same district was burned over.
Over two-thirds of the business portion of
the town is destroyed, including the best
buildings in the place. The total loss is
estimated at $200,000. The insurance is
$85,000.

ROUGHS RULING IOWA CITY.
The Trial of Two Brewer* Lead* to a
lteign of Terror.
low a City, la., Aug. 13.—This city is
in great excitement to-night. The streets
are crowded with people, and fears of
violence pervade all good, citizens. This
afternoon at the trial of two brewers of
the city before a Justice of the Peace
in a country township a mob of
nearly 200 attacked the prosecuting
lawyer, named W. 11. Bailey,
stripped his clothing off and tarred him.
His life was narrowly saved by the Deputy
Sheriff. The mob, many of them crazed
by drink, tried to catch the principal wit
ness, named Swafford, and would have
hanged him bad they found him. A con
stable wasseverely cut. The roughs came
to town this evening, and for an hour had
possession of the streets, the Sheriff’s
torce and the city police being powerless.
After supper they found Swafford, and
knocked him and his brother down on the
street, and would have killed them had
they not escaped to a store. A meeting
of citizens has been held, the outrages
vigorously condemned a'd special police
appointed for the night. The best people
of all parties are urging obedience to the
law. The ringleaders in this trouble are
known, and warrants have been issued
for their arrest. It would be dangerous
to serve them to-night, owing to the in
flamed condition of tbe lower classes.”

Chicago, Aug. 13.—Rev. H. 31. Calli
son, who killed his wife and then shot
himself yesterday, is still alive. The
Coroner’s inquest into the cause of 3irs.
Callison’s death resulted in a verdict that
her husband killed her while in
sane. Tbe investigation showed
that he ’had a hallucination that
the people of Dakota had employed
him to write a history of that Territory,
that he had failed to do so, and that the
people were preparing to arrest and pun
ish him. In addition to this he believed
that he had written a letter to Dakota
which would ruin hundreds of families
there, and took the means employed as
the only way to atone for his wrong and

BANKERS IN CONVENTION.
The American Association Listens to
Currency Paper* at Saratoga.
Saratoga, N. Y., Aug. 13.—The Ameri
can Bankers Association assembled In
annual convention in Putnam Music Hall
at 10:45 o’clock this morning, with quite
a large representation of prominent bank
ers present, The meeting was called to
order by President L. J. Gage, of Chicago.
Prayer was theu offered by Rev. Dr.
Harper, of Philadelphia, after which
President Gage delivered the inaugural
address as Chairman. The address was
received with favor throughout, the
speaker being frequently interrupted by
applause.
Secretary Marsland read a resolution
submitted by the Executive Council, as
follows:
Resolved, That it is the sense of the Ameri
can Bankers’ Association that the coining of
the standard silver dollar of grains is
against the welfare of the country, and they
recommend to Congress a discontinuance of
such coinage.
George Butler, of New Haven, spoke at
Jength upon the resolution. He concurred
in it, and thought that the coinage of sil
ver should be suspended until other coun
tries joined with the United States.
The following resolution was then
adopted:
Resolved, That in view of the fact that the
articles of the Association Yf the National
Banks of the United States are rapidly ex
piring without sufficient inducement for their
renewal, owing to the constantly diminishing
amount and high prices of government
upon which bank circulation is based, thjfl
threatening a serious curtailment of the
rency of the country, and since a banknote
circulation, absolutely secured and issued
under ample safeguards for its redemption
in coin, is necessary for the convenient
transaction of the business of the country,
and sqch conditions can be best provided
through the continued operation of the na
tionalbank act. as has been attended by the
experience of the last twenty-one years, the
attention of the Congress of the United States
be urgent'y called to the necessity of immedi
ate legislation to meet the emergency.
Charles S. Graham, President of the
Ninth Ward National Bank of Newark,
read a paper on “The Continuance of the
National Banking Currency.” Among
other papers read were the following: By
John Thompson, of New York, on “Silver
Coinage;” Henry W. Yates, of Nebraska,
on “The Prevention of Panics:” E. Sut
ton, of Mississippi, on “Our Banking Sys
tem, and N. B. Sligh, of Texas, on “Banks

GERMANY IN AFRICA.
The Teuton* Manifesting Opposition to
English Aggrandizement.
Berlin, Aug. 13. — German newspapers
declare that the recent annexation of
Wallfish Bay and adjoining territory in
South Africa by the Cape govern
ment was directed against Germany.
They make this an occasion
for abusing England, and advise Prince
Bismarck to ignore annexation in the
same manner as he has ignored the Congo
treaty.
Advices from Capetown state that the
German corvette Leipzig left there for
Angra Pequera on July 16. It goes to
take formal possession of the Bay of An
gra Pequera and the surrounding coun
try in the name of the German empire.
Dr. Nochtigal, the special German com
missioner, was expected to reach Angra
Pequera at the same time.
GERMANY’S COLONIAL POLICY.
A Vienna correspondent says: “One
subject which will occupy the attention
of Count Konaekack and Prince Bis
marck at their approaching conference
will be the discussion of the German
colonial policy. Prince Bismarck opposes
the constantly increasing tide of emigra
tion to the United States. American
Institutions, he says, are not in harmony
with those of Germany, and emigration
to that country adds nothing to Germany’s
wealth, while it tends to undermine the
traditions of monarchy. Prince Bismarck
Hopes to open new fields for colonial en
terprise and so prevent the ultra-inde
pendent, Anglo-Saxon element from ab
sorbing the German element.”
