A mor AT DETROIT.
The Polish Church Troubles Break
Out Afresh.
Detroit, March 21.—More than a year
ago tee members or St. Albertus’ Polish
Catholic church were rioting because
their priest, Father Kolasinski, had been
deposed by Bishop Borge6s. After a fu
tile attempt to keep the church open with
another priest In charge the building was
closetl and has so remained since. At in
tervals there have been rumors of its re
opening, each such report creating great
exoitement among the congregation,
which numbered 7,000. Within a few
days a report became current that the
church would be reopened by Father
Dombrowski on March 27. This report
aroused the Kolasinski faction and
trouble was anticipated.
the police attacked.
Yesterday a squad of policemen were
guarding the church and neighboring con
vent when they were assailed by a crowd
of Kolasinski’s supporters. Officer Frank
Sehratfron was struck in the face with a
brick. His assailant was arrested, aud a
storm broke forth. Ten or more pistoi
shots were fired at the police, who were
also assailed with a shower of bricks,
clubs and other missiles. In reply the
police fired over the heads of the mob,and
kept them at bay while the prisoner was
carried away and additional police pro
tection secured.
a regular army.
Nearly 3,000 Poles raved and stormed
about the officers, but no further violence
was attempted. Half a dozen policemen
were oadly bait 1 red and bruised, but none
were fatally injured. A few Poles were
also hurt, but their companions imme
diately carried them away so, tnat the re
sult of their injuries could not be learned.
The convent windows were badly shat
tered by flying bricks.
HASTINGS’ COURT IK tGEDY.
The Homicide Allowed to Walk
Away by the Spectators.
Chicago, March 21.—AnOmahaspecial
giving the particulars ol the killing of
Dr. Randall in court at Hastings Satur
day says that his murderer, young Hart,
with the smoking pistol in his hand,
coolly walked out of the court room, no
one attempting, not even the sheriil,
whom he passed oti the stairway, to ar
rest him. At the time young Hart was
unknown to the crowd. Mrs. Randall,
who the evidence showed had assisted
her husband to ruin Elia Hart, was in
jeopardy of her life.
SAVED FROM LYNCHING.
Threats of lynching were Ireely made
immediately after the shooting, and the
probability is that if her husband bad not
been sbot both would have been mobbed
and very likely lynched. She was taken
to her boarding house, and fully 500 men
followed with the determination of com
mitting violence. A strong guard, how
ever, protected the woman, who put on a
suit of her husband’s clothes and,
with an escort, made her es
cape, She was taken to Grand
island in a carriage with a guard
of twenty-five men. The Hastings’ peo
ple threaten to mob her when she is
brought back for trial. No effort will be
made to prosecute young Hart for killing
Dr. Randall. Mr. Hart, the lather of the
girl, was in the court room when the
shooting was done, and immediately after
Randall fell he rushed up and kicked the
oorpse and satisfied himselt that the man
was dead.
A JURY INTIMIDATOU.
A Representative of English Hold
ers of Virginia Bonds in Jail.
Richmond, Va., March 21—William
L. Royall, counsel for the English council
of foreign bondholders and representing
their affairs in connection with Virginia’s
debt, was to-day convicted in the Hustings
Court of intimidating the grand jury of
that court aud fined $l5O. This case is
the result ol an information filed last
month against Royall by the common
wealth’s attorney, who charged
that at the January term
of the court, because tbe grand
jury presented indictments against
Royall for barratry, lie (Royall) insti
tuted suits against individual members
of the grand jury for SIU,OOO damages
each, claimed because of their actions in
bringing indictments. Furthermore,
Royall was charged with intimating
through the press and otherwise that he
would sue every grand juror who
in the future should iudict him or his
clients for acts done in alleged violation
of the law under whicn he had already
been indicted, and that in pursuance of
that threat he ( Royall) had attempted to
intimidate and impede the grand jury ap
pointed for the February term, so that
they had declined to bring in an indict
meut against him for fear of suits for
damage*. Royall refuses to pay the hne.
Royall was taken to jail tfiis evening,
and will remain there to-night. To
morrow he will apply to Judge Bond, ot
tbe United States Circuit Court, for a
writ of habeas corpus. Judge Bond
arrived in tbe oity to-night.
DAKOTA’S FLOOD.
Tlio River Still Rising at Bismarck
at Last Accounts.
St. I’aul, Minn., March 21.—A Bis
marck special says: “The river is still
rising an inch an hour, having already
passed tbe high-water mark of the memo
rablo flood of 1881. All the lowlands are
now inundated. The only houses flooded
on tbe Bismarck side are a few squatters
shacks. From the bluffs one can see huge
cakes of Ice up near tne streets in Man
date The only method of communication
between tbe towns is via Cheyenne and
Ogden.
The Boston syndicate property. Includ
ing a flouring mill and some titty resi
dences. elevator, sbalts and everything
south of the track i submerged.
The Upper Heartriver has not yet broken
loose. Tne ice began running again this
evening. The indications are that tne
Fort Butord rise is beginning to be felt.
All the boats are still safe, as is Uie
Northern Pacific warehouse, the river
being so wide that tue
ice no longer crowds bom.
Telegrams from the western division of
tbe Northern Pacific railroad say that
trains are runulng through to Mandatt
from Portland, no othnr bridges being
out. Several tons of Western mail have
been brought back from Bismarck to bo
sent around via the Union Pacillo.
Roslindalc’s New Bridge.
Boston, March 21.—A substantial
temporary wooden bridge, which has been
erected in place of the Bussey bridge at
the scene ot tbo torrlblc railroad disaster
of last Monday, was thoroughly tested
yesterday, and tne running of trains over

SAVANNAH, TUESDAY, MARCH 22, 1887.
COERCION TO BE FOUGHT
ALL THE FRIENDS OF ERIN TO
STAND HEART TO HEART.
GldctAtone’s Voice to be Heard During
the Obstruction Speech Dluklng—Mr.
Morley Introduces a Resolution
Around Which All Can Rally Willi
Enthusiasm The Fight to be Pro
tracted.
London, March 21.—John Bright, In a
letter with reference to home rule, says
that a majority of tho people in Ireland
would vote that their country ho made a
State of the American Union if their
present loaders instructed them to do so,
but that that would be no reason why
the Kingdom should consent.
Mr. Balfour, Chief Secretary for Ire
land, intimated in the House of Commons
this evening that the government would
to-morrow introduce a bill making pro
vision for tbe prevention and punishmout
of crime iu Ireland.
the new bill.
TV. H. Smith gave notice that the gov
ernment would move that the new Irish
crimes bill have precedence over all
orders or the day.
John Morley at onoe gave notice that he
would move an amendment to the gov
ernment’s motion, to the effect that “the
House decline to set aside business in
lavor or a measure increasing the strin
gency of the law in Ireland whilst no
etlective security is taken against abuse
oi the law by the exaction of excessive
rents.’’ Mr. Alorley’s notice was received
with loud cheers by the Irish members.
A BTUBBORN FIGHT.
Mr. Smith's motion for urgency for the
coercion bill will be opposed to the utter
most by the combined strength of the
Gladstonians and Parnellites. Mr. Smith
promises an eariv statement of the land
proposals, but tbe opposition are deter
mined not to permit the introduction ot a
coercion bill until the land question has
been dealt with. I’be Ministerialists ad
mit their inability to enforce the new
closure rule without a protracted debate
extending beyond Easter. Tue Glad
stouiaus greeted with derisive laughter
Mr. Smith’s statement that he hoped to
reach the second reading of the bill on
Monday.
BRITISH HRRWDNESS.
The Irish Conservatives will raise a
question wnv Father Keller is allowed
i-pecial privileges in Kiimainham jail.
Father Keller provides his own tood
and has a servant, and his trlends have
tree access to him. Dr. Kenney, medical
officer of the Natioual League, has applied
to be allowed to attend Father Keller
and to supply him with champagne if his
health requires it. The Conservatives
will insist that the prisoner be treated
according to the rules as a first-class
misdemeanant. •
TARNELLITES PLEASED.
The Parnellites are gratified at Mr.
Morley’s amendment and heartily ap
prove it. The amendment was drafted
last week by Messrs. Morley, Harcourt
and Gladstone, with a view of embarrass
ing the Radical-Unionists, some of whom
the Conservatives admit may possibly
abstain from voting. Lord Hartington is
aware of the government’s plans and has
approved them. He will doubtless
carry the bulk of his lollowers
with him. Tue debate on Mr.
Morley’s amendment will last several
nights, and it is certain that Mr. Glad
stone will speak, it is the present inten
tion of the Paruellites and a large section
of the Gladstonians to oppose the coer
cion bill at every stage, even to force a
division on a iormal motion for permis
sion to introduce bills. All tne parties
have issued urgent whips.
It is reported that the new crimes bill
instead of providing for the appointment
of a special jury to consist of members
not likely to be intimidated, as at first
drafted, now proposes to give prisoners
charged with the special offenses option of
jury trial at Newgate or by a commission
ot judges iu Ireland.
Mr. Chamberlain dined with Mr. Ral
four to-night, and entered into a friendly
discussion ot the bill.
FATHER KELLER’S PRISON LIFE.
Dublin, March 21.—Father Kel
ler is allowed to celebrate mass
daily in his cell. He is also al
lowed to receive visitors for half an hour
and to read newspapers sent to him.
Various donors have sent him articles
with which to furnish his cell. Father
Keller has telegraphed to his triends at
Yougbal that ho is in excellent health
and spirits.
Father Ryan, of the Herhertstown,
branch of the league, has been summoned
to give evidence in a case similar to that
In which Father Keller was summoned.
Father Ryan announces that he is deter
mined to go to prison rather than give
evidence.
SYMPATHY FROM AMERICA.
New York, March 21.— There w 6 a
large meeting at Cooper Union to-night
to protest against the proposed coercive
measure under tne auspices of the muni
cipal counciloft.be Irish National League.
Among those present were ltcv. William
Lloyd, Uen. O’Bierne, Leon Abbett, of
New Jersey, Rev. T. Connelly. Charles A.
Dana. Tbe latter acted as chairman of
tbe meeting. Having been introduced as
such be remarked that It might be asked
wbat Americans had to do with tho eon
duot of the English government. He
maintained the right to be unquestion
able. He spoke on behalf of broad justice
and those right* which belong to all men.
They were about to violate in England
now the first principles of liberty by
passing a coercion bill, and. lfisii-Ainert
cans wished to protest againri-
cansdidso because lrityApfcHlMfe a
groat part of tbe oitizenlHTrthe Uoited
State*. Americans had the right because
they contributed tbe chief part ol the
money that enabled that band of
patriots led by Parnell to
continue the fight for freedom.
| Applause.] Where is the treasury of the
party of liberty if not in the hearts of tne
irishmen in tbe United States? There
was no question a* to the right Of Ameri
cans to protest against coercion. Tne
resolutions recite that tbe English gov
ernment Is preparing to introduoe a so
called crimes bill, whose provisions are
Intended to suppress constitutional liber
tv in Ireland for political reasons and to
abolish the freedom of tbe press. They
say that the only offset can be tbe enkind
ling of raoe hatred, making more difficult
a settlement ol tbe Irish question
and teudlng to produoe social
disorder in Ireland. The citizens
of New York in mass meeting assem
bled.therefore earnestly protested against
tho contemplated measure* a* suicidal
to the best interests of England and Ire
land, and a violation of recognized prin
ciples of Justice. Tho resolutions quoie
“England’s greatest statesman’’ in say
ing that lorce Is no remedy, and declaring
tnat home rule in the establishment of a
parliament to deal directly with local
questions, Is the only basis of settleim-nt
on Irish questions. The resolutions ten
der sympathy and promise support to
Messrs. Gladstone and l’arnell, aud en
couruge them to oppose coercion. The
resolutions are to be sent to the two
leaders and also the Tory leader, Lord
Salisbury.
William M. Evarts regrettod his ab
sence from the city and tendered hearty
sympathy in tho demonstration “against
governmental coercion ot Irish tenants to
the payment ot routs.’’
Gov. Fitzhugh Lee, of Virginia, wrote:
“The struggle for borne rule in which the
Irish people are now engaged lias always
commanded my earnest sympathy. May
they soon witness the triumph of liberty
—Not liberty lacerated by English swords,
but freedom that can he erected upon an
altar and worshiped by Irishmen every
where.”
Tue following cablegram was sent to
Mr. Gladstone:
Citizens of New York in mass moetim: as
sembled, protesting against coercion, heartily
imlorseyour noble policy and wish you God
speed in your undertaking.
Charles A. Dana.
Speeohes wore made by several gentle,
men, including the following: l)r. Lloyd,
Hon. Leon Abbett, ex-Judge Davis and
Father Dougherty. Great enthusiasm
was manifested.
LETTERS OF REGRET.
Among the letters of regret wore the
following: Lieut. Gov. Jones wrote that
it would afford him great pleasure, If
present, to publicly join in the sponta
neous protest lrom the heart of American
citizens toward Ireland iu her struggle
for home rule.
Gen. Butler wrote that he was confined
to bis house by sickness.
Judge Wallace, of the United States
Circuit Court, wrote that he was in hearty
sympathy with tbe objeetsof the meeting.
Samuel J. Randall wrote from Wash
ington urging justice to lrelaud as the
only lasting solution to her troubles and
expressing his deep interest in the ques
tion. He said it was strange that in the
nineteenth century the English Tories
should persist in a policy of injustice and
coercion, condemned by history with
singular unanimity as a crime against
the human race and a blot ol disgrace on
the fair name of tho English govern
ment, Sooner or later justice must
be done. Mr. Randall said that
Mr. Gladstone had no superior as a states
man. The fact that at the close of a long
and brilliant career he leu the movement
in favor of home rule for Ireland and in
sisted with all his brilliant intellectual
powers for justice to her, was security tor
Great Britain in tbe future, and ttie best
evidence that the 1 risb question was lifted
out of the arena ot mere local and tem
porary contentious and become an in
evitable necessity of pence and prosperity
to the English speaking races. '“lre
land,” he concluded, “ must have home
rule and justice must be done to her
people, and it is sheer madness to refuse
to grant what Is so clearly right.”
FREEMEN OF ONE HEART.
Gov. B. T. Biggs, of Delaware, wrote:
“Freemen everywhere sympathize with
the oppressed, and the time will come
when coercion bills will be wiped out,
and the freedom of Ireland and home rule
will prevail.”
Rev. L. C. Garland, Chancellor of
Vanderbilt University, wrote: “Tbe
Irish cause has my profound sympathy.”
Samuel 8. Cox wrote lrom Washing
ton. He asserted that the great body of
English people were as one with Soot
land, Ireland and Wales in their hatred
of the measures of esjiionage, fraud and
force. No nation was ever so wretchedly
and outrageously governed as Ireland has
been by absenteeism aud tho aristocracy
oi England.
RoscoeConkling wrote: “In heart and
judment 1 am iu sympathy with the peo
ple of Ireland, and wholly against any
and every scheme to trample on her
rights. It will be annoying if England,
the land of the magna charta, the landot
trial by jury and due process ot law,tbe
land ol eightcenturies of Parliament, the
land ofWestminsterHall,shall now,at this
stage of the world, turn around and
march back towards barbarism. Fora
government to uphold itself by force
against those who would overthrow It Is
one thing. This is the right of self de
fense; a right to be, out it is a widely
different thine to make laws oppressive
and repugnant to a great majority
of those affected by them
and theu to violate the principles of the
government itself in order to enforce
such laws. Such a proceeding is not a
resort to any other right. It is might—
brutal might. It cannot be defended by
the extremity of occasion, still less by
possession of power great enough to
promise impunity to act. Should tbe
events you apprehend come to pass, Great
Britain may raise a home question which
mankind may make a question ol its own
—so deep and universal is the sentiment
of liberty. That the wisdom of English
men and Scotchmen and Irishman may
avert all the evils you fear is my ardout
hope aud wish.”
DRIVEN MAD BY GAMBLING.
An Englishman Creates n Stir in
Y. M. C. A. Rooms.
Chicago, March 21.—Maxwell Ernest
Virgo, a young Englishman 32 years of
age, caused an exciting scene in the office
of A. T. Hemingway, Secretary ol the
Young Men’s Christian Association, yes
terday afternoon. Ho was addicted to
gambling, and In occasional fits of re
morse he has come to the rooms of the as
sociation for moral encouragement, and
In this way has become well known there.
Ho came yesterday rather more than
usually broken down, and was invited
into tho private office of the Secretary.
As soon as the door was closed he showed
that he was violently insane. He drew
from his pocket a small bottle of muriatic !
acid, which be announced his Intention to

the world.
A FIGHT FOR LIFE.
Secretary Hemingway endeavored to
take the bottle from Virgo wnen tbo lat
ter endeavored to push Mr. Heming
way through a window. He would have

ly. The window was broken out. The
bottle of acid was knocked from Virgo’s
hand before be could swallow its con
tents, although be got some of it in his
mouttt and throat und is badly burned

stalwart policemen and two members of
the association to get Virgo into an am
bulance and to a hospital. The physi

may recover. He is a member of a well
to-do English family.
Frost in the Far south.
New Orleans, Marob 21. White frost
was reported last night at many points in
Northern Mississippi and Louisiana and
as far south as Opelousas. A special
from Crystal Hprlngs, Miss., says: “The

Vienna, March 21. —A nianitesto by
the Russian Constitutionalists was pub
lished here yesterday. They repudiate
any connection with the recent attempt
on the life of the Czar. The manifesto
enumerates the sins of the present
regime, especially emphasizing that of
humbling itselt before Prince Blsmark.
Tbe three chief points of the party's
screed are: That consultative chambers
be summoned, tbe Czar retaining tho
right to decide with the majority or mi
nority as bo pleases; that the press be
granted freedom of speech, and that
political prisoners be nmnesUod.
THE ARMY DISAFFECTED,
St. Petersburg. March 21.—A sensa
tion has been caused here by the removal

lutionary ideas. Col. Sassoulitoh is a
brother of tte famous Vera Sassoulitoh.
Rumors of secret executions of officers

of Keiff University has been executed and
that Leo Hartmann has been seized on
the Polish frontier.
The Official Gazette publishes a lengthy
address expressing devotion and loyalty
to the Czar from the Lion Cossack*.
It is reported that Kutkoff has fallen
