progress of the meeting at Loughrea yes

and Sheehy wore arrested, Shouhy receiv
ed r summons to appear and show cause
why he should not he bound over to keep
the peace, because of a speech he made re
cently at Kylebeg, nml which it was
claimed was calculated to arouse dinordcr.
Dillon and O’Brien arrived here to-day.
Both are much disturbed and hurt
physically. In addition to the* troubles
wliicli tiio gentlemen had yesterday at
Loughrea, when they were arrested for
acting svi tenants’ trustees, they met with
un accident on tho road home. The ho re
drawing the car on which they were
riding from Loughrea to Athreny bolted
on the way and both were thrown violent
ly to the ground and badly shaken up and
considerably bruised. Tho News’ letter
(conservative) of Belfast, referring to the
arrests, says the . results would
have been deplorable if the government
had been .weak enough to allow the man
who lmd just been ordered to find sureties
for his good behavior to set tiie law at de
fiance. The Morning News, of Belfast,
jays it hopes that the government will
grant the arrested gentlemen a fair trial
and leave it to tho country to decide be
tween the leaders of the reduced rent
movement and their intended victims.
DILLON GISTS TO TALK.
Dillon, O’Brien, Sheebyrn d Harris have
decided to proceed against the police of
Loughrea for recovery of money and doc
uments seized the other day. Harris aud
Bhecby to-day met the tenants of the Cap-
putign estate in Oort, county Galway.
O’Brien in an interview said the Laughrca
police only secured £88 of £1100 of rent
money received by the trustee «, who ex-
pressed the opinion that the prosecution
of the trustees would stimulate
and help tho movement instead of repress
ing. Me was surprised that he and Ins
lei I*, vv trustees had been allowed to give
bail, as they were thus entitled to continue
tho campaign. He looked ior ward to an
awake.ling *of English public opinion
against the arbitrary arrest of members of
legitimate organizations.

THE STANDARD’S COMMENTS.
London, December 17.—The Standard
says the arrests at Loughrea mork the be
ginning of the death struggle between the
league and the law. Nationalists imagine
that Sir Michael 1 l ufim-Bcnch will shrink
from filling the prison with Irish priests
aud commoners. It is the duty of the
ministers to show these crafty schemers
that they have miscalculated their
strength.
A FAILURE REPORTED.

chants of Glasgow, have failed. The lia

Montgomery, December 17.—The Ala
ixumi conference is moving on rapid
toward adjournment. There have been
eigh* persons received on trial and ten,
alter two years trial, received into full
connection. About ‘J:K) d. legates are pres
ent, mid they are a fine looking bony of
men. The committee on tho Bible com
mission presented lindr report, strongly
endorsing the American Bible nockty and
committing the conference to its support.
After much discussion it wus adopted.
Rev. E. M. Glenn was located at his own
request. Among Die notable men of
the conference are Revs. A. II. Mitchell,
who has just closed an active ministry of
fifty-six years and J. V/. Solomon, who in
ability and worth is the equal of the
greatest. Rev. A. J. Cousins preached n
strong sermon this evening. To-night is
the anniversary of the church extension
society and Rev. E. M. Bounds and others
addressed the conference. The Alabam
ians are great talkers but thej' speak to
the point. Bishop Keener holds the reins
with a strong but gentle hand. The con
ference is a very strong body of men, many
of them made of the material of martyrs.

PRECIPITATED t CAMPAIGN!.
Courier-Journal
Montgomery, December 15.—The pro
hibition blood drawn yesterday in Green
ville has aroused the dry people of tho
state to a high pitch of excitement. It has
precipitated a campaign whieh otherwise
might have lagged through years i\ itlioub
notice. The Montgomery Good Templars
held a secret meeting, and resolved that
the blow struck at Col. R. S. Chevos was a
blow at the enune of temperance, and
should be indignantly answered by every
conservative in tho state. It was also re
solved that tho order could bear the ex
penses of prosecuting the assailants of
Cheves.
Mayor Perry arrived in the eity to-day*
and looks as chipper as if he was not the
center of a great sensation. lie justifies
his attack on (Jol. Cheves because the lat
ter in a speech had referred to him as
“lascivious and a drunkard.” For this in
sult he was determined to have revenge
before Cheves left Greenville. The evan
gelist was given an opportunity to apolo
gize, but refused to do it, whoroup m tho
application of a brassknuck to his head
sent him whirling. Although a warrant
charging him with assault with intent to
murder has been issued against Mayor
Perryi he has not been arrested. Ho* will
remain hero until the excitement cools
down.
Advices from Greenville represent tho
town as being split into hostile factions*
the prohibitionists being the most angered
of the two. Col. Cheves has remained in
the house of Major Dan Dunklin all day,
nursing the sores. He has received many
telegrams of condolence from the temper
ance people throughout the union, and haa
bloomed into the proportions of a martyr
to the cause.
Tho bad blood stirred up in Greenville is
also evident in other places. Prof. Dickson,
who has charge of the school in Equality,
and who is boarding with Mr. J. A. Law, a
highly-respected and well-to-do former, re
ceived a loiter through the mails, from
which is taken the following interesting
part:
I want you to leave Laws, for wo aro
going to kill old Law, and we arc afraid
that vv might-shoot you for him. I mean
just what 1 t>ay about old Law.
Mr. Lav/ fs actively engaged in tiio enuso
of temperance. He is well thought of by
his neighbors. This letter had no name or
d iti?.
From Marion comes the news that the
prohibitionists are up and aggressive, and
have organized a campaign against the
doggeries. A prominent temperance lender
said to-day that “the thunders which will
roll from the pulpits next Sunday will sot
the state in a blaze, and the nun power
will find out that its Jay is over.”
