Him with * Monsifr Pe tition Thanking Him for Hu l.bra Jo Behalf of IrO'anti—Tne Free lm of Four Cltirs Presented to H;m A Speech oh the Irish Question. Bklfast, Oct. 4.—The commission ap point) <i to investigate the circumstances causing and attending the recent riots met to-day. All the barristers engaged to attend the investigation, excepting two, insisted on an adfourninent lor a few min utes, litteen at least, in order to decide on what course to adopt. Justice Day re fused to grant the adjournment, saying it would be a waste of time. The justice, then, despite the protests of the barris ters, proceeded to examine a witness, whereupon the barristers present rose and left the court room In procession, taking their bags, briefs and books with them. Several solicitors, priests and Orangemen interested in the investiga tion followed the barristers. Barrister O’Shaugbnessy said that he was indig nant at Justice Day’s conduct, and added : ♦‘The Irish bar Is not used to such treat ment. 1 ' PUBLIC INDIGNATION. The only wijness examined by the com flieeion was inspector Carr. Several meetings were held to-night to draw up in Indignant protest against Judge Day’s treatment of the Irish bar. It transpires mat Messrs. French and Adams, the Irish members of the commission, supported Ute request for adjournment, while Messrs. Duller and McCarthy supported the chairman. It is rumored in legal elides that Mr. Adams will re tire Irom the commission. Those ac- j quainted with the true state of affairs are ol the opinion that the whole thing will end in a farce. It is thought that con stables will be the only witnesses. The members ot the bar subsequently returned to the court room aud presented a protest against the action ol the com mission as opposed to the interests of their clients and the public. A number ot youths who were creating a disturbance here to-day were charged ■upon by police, whereupon t hey retaliated bv throwing stoues. The military picket which came to the assistance of the police, was a tacked by a mob. Maj. Dorcaster, who was in command of the troops, was fel ed to the ground by the rioters. Throe arrests were made. GLADSTONE PRESENTED A PETITION. Hawarden, Oct. 4.—Ex-Premier Glad stone and bis wile to-day received Mrs. T. D. Sullivan,wife of the Lord Mayor of Dub lin, and a deputation ot Irish ladies ap pointed ny the w omen of Ireland to luesent the ex-Premier with a mammoth petition in favor of home rule. September 21 had been appointed as the date of the recep tion, but it had necessarily to be post f'nned because ot the serious illness of Mrs. Henry Drew, Mr. Gladstone's daugh ter, who is at present almost recovered. The petition bears the signatures of 500,000 jMsh women. Great crowds flocked thither all day in view of the event. DEPUTATIONS PROM THE CITIES. Accompanying the deputation ol Irish ladies were deputations repiesenting the Municipal Councils ot Cork, Linierlok, Watertord and Clonmel. The place was p-rfcctljr alive with visitors, who were acoorded the lreedom oi the lawn during the (urinal ceremonies. Mr. Gladstone, Mrs. Gladstone. Herbert Gladstone, Rev. Stephen Gladstone, Miss Helen Gladstone and Rev. Henry Drew, the ex-l’remier’a son in-law, met ibe deputations as they en tered the grounds and conducted them into the library. When Mr. Gladstone, with his family, emerged from the house to receive the deputations ho was greete.l with hearty and prolonged cheering by the multitude of visitors on the grounds. A r ved in the library, 3!rs. Sullivan read the address ot the Irish women. FREEDOM OF THE CITIES. The Mayer of Cork, tiie Mayor of Lime tick, the Mayor ot Waterford and the Mayor of Clonmel then each presented Mr. Gladstone with the freedom of their respective cities, ad thanked him for his chivalrous and splendid efforts to restore Ireland’s pari auieut, expressing the hope that he would soon visit Ireland to receive irom the Irish people at their homes the thanks they all lelt towards him. When Mr. Gladstone replied iiis voice was somewhat husky. He said he believed ibat the depu'atiousand Nut'on slist members of the House ot Commons truly reprea nted the Irian as a people. He said, in reference to a request to visit that island, HIS ADVANCED YEARS. . “At my age. however, the question of visit ing Ireland i beset with uncertainties. W hatever may be my condition, whether of bodily presence or absence from among ihem. the Irish people will alwava Uiguly share toy interest and niv affection.” Mr. ol ntatone aJoed that be mi.s tlenv the statement that he had renounced his former latitude by supporting ihe proposal to restore Hie trisn Parliament, lie said also that he Was (hank id for the slime lie too ; in passing such I roll men urn as hud been made laws during nis public <njaser.

We do not now contemplate the dtcadful alternatives our father* laced a century ago; nor the al lernativo Well ugton fac. and when he said he proposed Catholic emancipation as an alter p.diveto civil war. It was necessary th,t the late government’s Irish proposals shoo and have een put forward in acemd with theue- Hres of'he Irish nation, and also to make it e'ear that the propo-als stood within the limits of the imperial honor, sulety and wel fare.

London, Oct. 4.—A packet of govern m* nt dispatches intended for Gen. Bn Her in County Kerry has been lost. Much aiarra is felt in consequence. Thomas Knife, of Ballogby Armagh, a tenant tarraer. *nd a Liberal in politics, has been appointed a member ol the new Koval Irish Land Commission in place of Mr. Fottrell, resigned, A COMPLIMENT FOR CHURCHILL. The Times, commenting on the success of Lord Randolph Churchill in tho new ministry, says he has so far disappointed partisan opposition, which has been eagerly watching to catch him in some indiscreet sal y or untimely sarcasm. “It Is satisfactory” adds the Times, “to find Lord Randolph Churchill’s eminent capacity for political affairs now dis played without levity of purpose or reck lessness of diction.” In a loiter 31 r. Chamberlain denounces the Parnell bill as a “dishonest, piece of party tactics, intended to divide the Liberal Unionists and to provoke agita tion in Ireland. It is probable,” be says, “Ibat the influence ot these well paid pa triots will collapse in the face of the de termination of t he people of Great, Britain not to yield another inch to vile conspira cies, supported by outrage and assassina tion.” CHURCHILL’S SHUFFLING. London, Oct. 5, 5 a. m. —Tue News says: “Since Lord Randolph Churchill has determined to shuffle along in Mr. Gladstone's shoos we snail not offer factious opposition to h s progress.” CHURCHILL’S FLOUNDERING. Dublin, Oct. 4.—Freeman’s Journal warns Lord Randolph Churchill tha*. if he really believes his statements tnat ihe 1 rish difficulty is solely agrarian, “he will flounder from mistakes into crimes.” .Major Maxwell, of F"iui ebrogue. County Down, has issued 120 ejectment notices. The central office of the Irish National League has sent a circular to all the branches in Ireland asking them to re port on landed property in each district with the names of the landlords, whether resident or absentee, the rents due and the abatements granted. Judge Flanagan and Capt.O’Callagban. ot Countv Clare, have remitted to their tenants 20 per cent, of their rents. Lord Buller, of the same county, bus remitted 37 per cent, to his tenants. A deputation from the Dublin Chamber ot Commerce waited upon the Lora Lieu tenant to-day and presented to him an address expressing the con viction that the prosperity of Ire land is bound up in legislative and mercantile union with Great Britain. The Lord Lieutenant, in reply, said that the government was determined to [ire serve the union and to maintain the su premacy of the law. STORK OUD'.KS ILLEGAL. A Judge Decides that, the Consti tution Prohibits the System. Pittsburg, Oct. 4.— ln the State Su preme Court, which met here to-day. Jus tice Gordon decided that the store orii**r system, under the act of June 29, 18N1, was unconstitutional and void, inasmuch by it persons were prevented irom making their own contracts. In hisopinion Judge Gordon avs: “The act is an infringe ment a’ike of the l ights of employer and employe, and it’ ts an insulting attempt to put the laborer under legislative tutelage, which is not onlv degrading to his manhood, but suh servii tu to li s right as a citizen of the United Sia'es” The decision was ren dered in the case of Godoboles & Cos. ver sos Frank Weigman, of Northumberland conn v. The judgment ot the low er court was reversed anil anew trial ordered. Ice decision caused a great deal of com ment in labor circles to-day. Thomas A. Armstrong, ot the Labor Tribune, ad vises every labor organization in the .State to make a determined tight against, the sto.e order system. John Gastello, Presi dent of the Pittsburg Miners’ Associa tion, said: “The decision will be startling news to the miners. They must neces sarily begin a warlare against the per nicious system.” SUICIDE 1\ A CELL. A Muiiicrcr Takes Poison Origi nally Intended for His Wife. Newark, N.

Atlanta, Ga., Oct. 4.— Some months ago an ordinance was p ;ssed by the City Council prohibiting the keeping of splrit oiiß or malt liquors for the unlawful sale thereof. The object was to show that AG lanta favored sustaining the local option law, and also to allow the city to reap some of the benefits from fines imposed lor violations of the law, as the police would, to a large extent, be called upon to see that the law was enforced. This ordinance seriously interfered with the operation of the Atlanta brewerv, and since Its adoption that enterprise has been in a torpid state. A short tune ago a petition was presented to the Council, asking that so much o! the ordinance as interfered with the operations of the brewery be rescinded so that tho brewery could deliver beer to its patrons at their places of residence in quantities not less than a quart, and take the chanoes of being con victed of violation of local option law in the State courts. The brewery claimed that it bad vested rights which the courts would be obliged to recognize until these vested rights were paid for in some wav. Ail ordinanceln support of the petition was aNo presented, and both were referred to the Committee on Ordinances. DISCUSSED BY THE COUNCIL. At a meeting of the Citv Council held tliis afternoon the ordinance came un for adoption- Alderman Codier supported it. He said tnat the brewery was Iv ng idle, and that ihe owners of the property were losing the money invested while other brew ries were shipping their pro ducts to Atlanta in large quantities. Councilman Beatie ma lea prohibition argument against the adoption ol the or dinance and concluded his remarks by moving to table it. The motion was ioit by a vote ot 7 yeas to 9 nays. The ordi nance was then put on its passage and pa-red bv the same vote. Belore the re sult was announced Councilman Mitchell, with a view of killing the ordinance, moved to amend it by allowing wnisky to be sold by the quart. This motion was accepted. M r. Collior called tor the yeas and nays, and Mr. M tchell voted against his own motion. Tha ordinance was then passed by a vote of 9 to 7. Mr. Beatie changed his vote and gave notice of a motion to reconsider at the next meeting. THE UNITED STATES COURT. The October term of the United States Court was opened to-dav witu Judge Newman on the bench. After the court organized. District Attorney Hill, chairman of the committee appoint ed to prepare memorial resolutions on the death of Judge MeCay, submitted his report. The report contained a sketch of the life and public services of the d f ceas- and. The resolutions were sec onded tiy Judge Erskine. who occupied a seat on the bench with Judge Newman. He paid a high tribute to Judge MeCay as a man. lawyer and jurist. Judge Newman added nis testimony to the trlb uto which had been paid the deceased. It was ordered that the resolutions be spread on the minutes, an engros-ed eopv sent to the family, aud court was ad journed for theriav. THE SUPREME COURT. The Supreme Court assembled to-dav for its fall term. The Atlanta docket was taken up, which contains forty-five cases. Tue Supreme Court docket has 344 eases, which is a heavy one, though forty short of last tall. The prohibition cases Irom Atlanta, carried upon writs oi certiorari, will probably be reached to-morrow. The Governor has offered a reward of $l6O tor the unknown murderers of Sea boro Sheffield, in Early county,on Aug. 24. The Attorney General went to Home to day to attend the sale ol the property of Samuel Morgan, a surety on the bond ol ihe Bank ol Rome as a State depository. The property was to be sold to-morrow on a fi. la. in favor of the State against the Bank of Rome and its sureties. Mr. Morgan, after the Attorney General lef', telegraphed the Governor that he is ready to settle. FUKLONG’S FIKNDISHNESg. Fuller Details of the Ilruial Crime Committed in Berrien County, Alapaha. Ga., Oct. 4.—Last Saturday the jury ol inquest, alter examining other witnesses, rendered a verdict charging B. W. Furlong, J. M. Lofton and Thomas Sharon with the murder of Jesse Webb. This verdict is the sequence of one of the roost brutal crimes ever perpetrated >r. Georgia. The Nkws has already detailed It, by telegraph, but the following fuller account (mm ibeAiapaba Star ot Satur day will be read with interest: Friday evening of last week, after (he Star had gone to press, news reached town that 15. W. Furlong, who lias been conducting a saw mill at. Sniff, in this county, was dead from the effects ot a dose ot laudanum taken with suicidal in tent. Before going to his room, about 12 o’clock, he asked bis wile to forgive hipi for ail he had ever done, and told tier that he would go away from there in a few days and begin anew ltle. He culled bis children to him and spoke kindly to them, and asked them not to dis urti him as be wanted to take a long s'eep. He then wont to his room, closed I lie door and. It is supposed, took the fatal dose. Later in the alternoon someone entered the room on hearing a strange noise and found him dying. In a short time be was dead. Mr. Furlong had been drinking heavily for some weeks, and Ids creditors knowing Ins business to be in a shaky condition, a day or two betore his death hud bis prop erty attached. Mr. Silas U'Qitinn.nf tins place, went down Friday morning to levy on some of his property and tou'd hitn rational, hut wild looking. He informed Mr. OHjuinn that lie had shot a negro about two weeks previous to that time, and it was supposed I bat he was dead. This conversation occurred about 11 a. in. Mr. Furlong’s body was taken to Wares boro bund ay morning tor interment. Immediately alter the interment ru mors ol ibe killing ol the negro began to circulate, aud on Friday evening, for the first time, they reached Alapaba. ltwasatonce determined to Investi gate the mat'er. Enough tacts were de veloped to justify holding AN INQUICST. Wednesday morning Acting Coroner J. A. Slater and a jury ot eight men re paired to Furlong’s null, five mites east of Alapaha. On arriving there several wit. iiessi-H were summoned. Jim Simmons, colored, was the first witness sworn. He testified tha' trie down freight on Tues day, Sept 7, put a colored man off and tbe conductor told Furlong to take him aud work him. The niun said he did not want work there. When the train left the colored man started after it. Furlong told him if he did not come back he would till him full of shot, and went into the commissary to get his gun. The negro came hack and Furlong handcuffed him and put Lofton, a white man, us guaid over him- About an hour Irctn tiignt the negro made a break forlitnrty. He ran tea swamp several bundled yards south of tbe null. Lofton pursued him and was about 'orty yards behind him at tue start. Furlong was about the same distance behind Lof ton. The witness ran alter Furlong, hoping to keep him from killing the ne gro. Soon alter 'bo pursuers and pur sued were 10-t to sight in the swamp. The witness beaid a gun or pistol shot and stopped. In the pursuit Furlong carried a double-baneled gun. In a few minutes he returned without the gun, and said to witness: “It you breathe a word about this I will kill you.” He afterwards told witness: “If you mention a word oi this affair to a living being, I know three men that will swear you did the shooting, and your cock will pop.” Tuesday nisht Furlong, Tom Sharon and J. 31. Lottou took Simmons down to where the wounded man lay. They were all armed with double-barreled guns. When they reached the wounded man they told Simmons to assist >haron in getting tiie handcuffs off him. Wnile they were thus engaged l’ ur'ong drew bis knue and tried to cut the wounded man’s throat. Simmonscaueht his arm and begged him not to kill the man. He then made a lunge at Simmons' throat with the knife and barely missed it. Simmons started to iuii, but Furlong drew hia gun on him and would have shot him had not one ol Ibe white men stopped him. Wednesday morning Simmons look tne wounded man a bottle of water, ihe man begged nun to take him lo one ot the shanties. Fur long refused to iet him bring him. Later that, day he told Loltou the man ought to nave something to eat. tie was helpless, but could talk, Tne witness did not see tne wounded man alter Wednesday night. Thuisday night Furlong sent lor Sim mons and told him he wanted him to go witn him that night. Simmons told him ne was too sick to go. Several other witnesses were examined, but we have only space for the most im portant. Mr. James Cross, white, testified that be came at night Tuesday, Sept. 7, and that Furlong asked him to go and stay at tils bouse that night, as his wife was frightened about something. lie did so. About i) o’clock Furlong came In, but re mained only a minute. Wednesday night Furlong, Lofton and Sharon staid out nearly all night. Thursday night they lelt about 8 o’clock, returned about 9 o'clock, changed oiothes, putting on their worst clotbes and old sbo-s, and left again. They were absent until 3 o’clock. Witness did not see them mat night. Saw l hem i ext morning. Their pants were wet and muddy to the knees, and Sharon’s coat was wet to the pockets. lie ques tioned the n, but they would not tell where they had been or what they had done. N tie of the witnesses saw the man alter he died, nor were any of them will ing :o say that he hail been killed, al though they felt satisfied tnat such was the cae. The main actors in this brutal tragedy were absent, one iu his grave auu tue other two had (ltd. Alter hearing the testimony the Coro ner, the jury and a number of white and colored men scoured the woods and bays and branches for miles, in searen of the missing man, but without, success. Not a trace was found as to where his body had been niddeu. When the party returned to the mill It was given as a rumor ihat the man had been buried in the horse lot, just back ot the commissary. Several men wdh Iron rods went to the lot and probed it. At one place the rod went down several teet In loose earth, but it was not thought at the time it could be a mail’s grave, it being late in the afternoon the jury ad journed to Saturday to await the arrival ol important witnesses. Just as Alapaba was reached Mr. James Cross came gal loping in and announced that the body ban been found in the horse lot wnere the iron rod had suns in the ground. Several colored men were sent hack to guard the body till Thursday morning. Toursday, about 9 o'clock, the Coroner and jury relumed to Furlong’s mill. The jury at once repaired to the horse lot and were soon at work exhuming the body ot Jesse Webb, this being the name by whioh the murdered man was said to he known. After digging a depth of two and a half or three teet, in the northeast corner of the lot, between the mule shed and the lorage house (tne latter stands near the railroad track), the body was reached, i'he man was tying on his back. withshis Hands folded on ms breast, aid it seemed that, care was taken to lay hiui out proper ly. Decomposition had set in. anil his flesh would peel off at a touch. Witn tne aid of crocus sacks, which were placed un der him, the ends of which extend) and out on either side, he was lifted out of the grave and placed in a box. On examina tion the skull was lound crushed in on ihe left side just above Ihe ear, seemingly with a lame hammer, perhaps a sledge hammer. On the right side, a short dis lance from the forehead, and about an inch from the centre ot the head, the skull was also crushed in. the hole being fully an inch aud a nail in circumference. Iu the man’s mouth was a roll of waste, such as is used lor packing the boxes of car wheels. The evidence showed that Furlong, Lofton and Bnaron were at the commissary about midnight Thursday ii i a. bt. w hen Furlong asked first Gam mage and then Simmons to go with him lUai night. What they did after that is lelt to conjecture, but the presumptive evid-nce is Ibat they prepared tnemseives and proceeded to wher the wounded ne gro lav, rammed the waste into bis mouth and down bis throat, so that he could not cry out when struck, and then crushed In his skull, dragged him a hun dred yards tnrough the woods to the buggy, hauled him to the lot aud buried him. Ail this was done inside of three hours. This is, beyond doubt, the most brutal murder that haseverdarkened ibeannals of our countv. This unoffending negro was handcuffed, and when he made an effort to regain bis freedom was pursued and shot alter he was caught. .Paralyzed In every limb, be lay in a dense swamp Irom about an hour before sundown, Tuesday evening, Sept. 7, until the lol owing Thursday night at 12 o’clock. Dur ing all this time he had one drink ol water and one meal, notwithstanding he was less than 4**o yards from several houses. TbuisduY night, at midnight toree white demons, braced with whisky, which was the real cause ot the crime, / advanced through tbo gloomy swamp to whore the help ess man lay and murdered him in the manner already staled. FALL IN FL UUD.Y. Everybody Looking Forward to a I’rospn-ous Business Season. Jacksonvill*, Fla., Oct. 4.—With the advent of October, things in Florida’s metropolis take on a decidedly more busi nesslike air. Fall came wito a sudden change from the hot, enervating weather that character zed September, and every body seems to have caught the inspiration of cooler -days. Business men are brighter-laced and move with a quicker step, as though anticipating a rushing, bustling w inter season, which all do. Tne outlook is flattering In tbe extreme. This morning things about the railroad depots and steamboat docks were beiug moved with a rush, and the volume of ' ingoing and incoming freight was no ticeably heavier than it has yet been so | lar ihis year. Knilroad men. in response to inquiries, stute itiHi tbe travel into Florida over all lilies entering the State la ualt again ns large a* it wns at tins season last year. The flow ol those return lag home from the cit es and watering places ol the North and Northwest has been steady lor some weeks past until now, when the march is being taken up by oonMneioial men, pros pectors, investors, and in Home instances early tourists and pleasure seekers 1 bis early b-glnnieg of travel the railwav, steamboat and hotel men regard a-, a very bright augury of tbe imrneme rush tiny expect to Pave during tbe fall season. ‘ THE HOTELS. Anticipating a fine business, almost all the larger botois will open earlier than usual by at least a month. Prominent among these will be Mr. .1. M. Lee’s New Everett, wbicb will fling wide its massive portals on Nov. 1. All tae others will follow suit not later than Nov. 15 or 20. Both the Deßarv-Baya and the People’s line of steamers have been busy brighten ing and burnishing their passenger craft, preparatory to a big river excursion and tourist business, by no m< ans giving way to that pessimistic opinion that be cause the railroads can now offer quicker transit toSouth Florida, that the davs of steamboats upon the St. John’s are num bered ‘"among the things that were.” Not at all; there will, doubtless, be as many, and as fin- boats plying the beautiful St. John’s this season as ever beiore. The outlook for a diroot line of New York steamships to this city is now much more encouraging than it has ever been, and well informed men say we will have a line before next spring. There are now no less than three different corporations talking oi inaugurating ibis generallv desired line, viz.: the Clydes, ot New York, the Mallory line, and last a syndi cate in connection with the Florida Kail way and Navigation Company. Surely out of the three some material venture ought to come. The Mallory line’s business to Fernamlina has increased so much that they have decided to again put on the tri weekly snips, which they will do, com mencing Oct 2G. The most universal topic of converse about the city for the past two weeks has been the epidemic of “dengue” fever. Everybody, “and bis sisterß, and his cousins, and his aunts,” have had it. There has been no fatal case, however, so far as heard. In fact, It is never re garded as dangerous unless complicated with some other more malignant fever. Pendleton’s Fizzle. Tallahassee. Fla., Oct. 4.—The ef fort of C. B. Pendleton, Independent can didate for Congress in the First Florida district, to create sympathy and interest in hi 9 behalf in this city, Saturday, was a most signal failure. He held consulta tions with the colored voters during the day, and in the allernnon addresspd a small number of colored men, women and children in the capitol square. A few whites were present, attracted by pure curiosity. None was overwhelmed with the abso lute necessity of sending Mr. Pendleton to Congress. It is safe to say Col. David son, the Democratic nominee, will receive a full share of the colored vote. Inde pendentism is a dead letter in Leon coun ty. Great interest is being manifested in the Democratic primaries to be held Fri dav. The county convention will be ini portant, and will do good work for the Democratic cause. Advices from West Florida Indicate that Col. Davidson has mot with great success in the canvass of that section, lie goes soutn this week and will be ac companied by several prominent speak ers.
