ARE TENANTS COERCED* CHARGES MADE 3Y THE G’CALLA GHAN AGENT. He Claims the Tenants Desired to Pay, But the National League Forbid Sentence of the Evicted Tenants on Trial for Resisting the Officers -Riots at Ennis Station. London, June IS. — The agent of the O’Callaghan estates at Bodyke, which have been the scene of the recent evictions, writes to the Times stating that almost all of the tenants hold under leases at judicial rates made by the land courts. They jwiid their rent regularly until the National League incited them to demand the IK) per cent, reduction. Even then many of the tenants paid their full rents secretly and had their receipts dated back prior to the league mandate, arid some went so far as to implore that ejectments he served On them, although they had paid all, in order to avoid the league's vengeance. “The whole resistance,” the agent says, “was due to the action of the tenants. In the final negotiations nineteen tenants offered to accept the proposal to pay £3lB in lieu of the £902 due, but Father Hannan declined the offer on behalf of the tenants.” In con clusion the agent says: “I have not the least doubt I could have, effected a peaceful settlement, but for the mischievous inter faience of outsiders." PUNISHED FOR RESISTING OKFICEES. Dublin, June 18.—Several of the tenants arrested at Bodyke for resisting the oUlcers sent to evict them have been sentenced to prison at hard labor for terms ranging from one to three months.

This they did with a will and plied their batons so vigorously that several f the people were severely injured. THE REICHSTAG CLOSED. The Emperor’s Message—Sentence of the Alsace-Lorraine Suspects. [Copyright 1887 by the Xew York Associated Press. 1 Berlin, June 18.—The Reichstag, having to day disposed of all the business remaining on notice paper, Herr von Boetticher read the imperial message, closing the session. The message expressed the grateful appre ciation with which the Emperor regarded the labors and decisions of the Reichstag whereby the defense of the empire and its financial position acquired that strength and solidity which were the primary condi tions of peace, as they were also of the empire’s general development. The message, concluded as follows: “You have, by your diligent and faithful labors justified the confidence with which the country sent you here in order to promote and assure its welfare and peace.” When the reading of the imperial message was concluded the members separated with three cheers for the Emperor. Last week's work in the Reichstag was not able for the celerity and dispatch with which the business was disposed of, the members showing a decided desire to con clude their labor and disperse for the holi days. . THE ALSACE-LORRAINE PRISONERS. In sentencing the Leipsie prisoners to day, the President of the court referred to the object of the Patriotic League as being plainly a reconquest of Alsace-Lorraine by an armed force involving a war of revenge. Therefore, persons becoming members shared the designs of the league, and, if Ger man subjects, were guilty of high treason. In taking the milder view of tne position of the accused the prosecution desired to believe that they were unaware of the significance of their acts. The mildness of the sentence correspondswith the tone of the imperial procurator through out the trial. Bleichow’s two-year sentence, was through his avowal that be was a friend of Gambetta and a share holder in the Bepublique Francaise. Hchifmache, it was shown, also supplied the funds to the French papers. Koecblin’s letters, anticipating the recov ery of Alsace after the death of the Em peror helped to secure his conviction. The usual number of press representatives were present for the German court. Most of the journalists in attendance were Germans, although facilities were also granted the French and English press. COURT GOSSIP. The papers still talk of Emperor William’s going to Gasteiu in August, but all idea of Ids presence at the West Prussian manoeuvres has been abandoned. His physi cian forbids another indiscretion like his Kiel journey, and orders that the Emperor henceforth undertake no duty that will in volve any strain upon him, or the chance of exposure. Count Bismarck's rheumatism has affected his joints. Before going to Friedricharuhe he was only able to walk, painfully, with the aid of a cane in each hand. He will go this summer to Vissengen for the sake of the waters. The officials of the chancellerie expect a prolonged period of diplomatic calm. Prof. Virchow’s report of his analy sis of the growth removed from the Crown Prince’s throat fails to quiet the public anxiety. The report is written for the medi cal profession in technical language. Pub lic interest centres in the con cluding passage of the report, in which Prof. Virchow affirms a favorable prognostic so far as his analysis went, but expressess uncertainty as to whether it is justifiable for the malady as a whole. It nas transpired that Prof. Virschow did not meet Dr. MaeKenzio during tho latter’s stay in Germany. Each kept his own special domain; neither is yet willing to declare the absolute certainty of a cure. ACTIVITY OF THE POLICE. The police have renewed their activity for the repression of the Socialists. At Breslau searches of domiciles are constantly being made. The house of nx-Deputy Geiser was searched and Herr Geiser and five other persons were arrested. The leipsie Social ists, Scebaeh, Ameer amt Sciiinidt, the editor of the workingman's paper, has been expelled from the country. Herbit, a fugi tive from Stettin, has also been ordered to quit the country. HUNGARY’S STRICKEN PEOPLE. The Waters Subsiding Over $50,000,- 000 Damage by the Floods.

Sensational Elopement of a Beautiful French Countess. Paris, June 17.—The Figaro says a sensa tion has been caused in French high life by the successful kidnaping of a Countess re cently divorced. The kidnupers wore masks, the Figaro says, and seized the Countess as she was walking in the Bois de Boulogne. They eluded pursuit, and the present where abouts of the lady, the paper says, is un known except to her captors, who have managed to completely baffio their prison er's friends as well as the jiolice. It has been ascertained that the kidnaped lady was Countess Campos, the divorced wife of the Due de La T orre, a sou of the late Marshal Serrano, of Spain. The Span ish Embassy have instituted an energetic search for flip lady, but as yet have no clew to her whereabouts. The Temps says the abductor of the Countess Campos is a Frenchman, who had been assiduous in his attentions to the Countess and vainly endeavored to persuade her to marry him. * a prize indeed. The lady is Mercedes Martinez Campos, a Cuban heiress and a great beauty. Sno re ceived a dowry of £300,000 on her marriage. The marriage was nullified through the pas sage of the Naquet law, although she nad sued for divorce long before. Sue recovered part of her fortune and resumed her maiden name. She lived quietly and elegantly with an elderly lady in the Rue Christophe Co lombo. Both were walking in the Bois de Boulogne, when a party of men, two of whom were masked, seized the young lady, thrust her into a carriage and drove rapidly away, unnoticed. The female accomplices ii\ the meantime coarsely abused the lady’s com panion, Mile. Louise, until the carriage was out of sight, when they slipped off. The household domestics have also disappeared, giving color to the conjecture that the lady herself was privy to the scheme which had been concocted in order to force her family to give their consent to a love match. Being legally a spinster and a Spaniard, she will not be of age until she reaches her 22d year. LATER PARTICULARS. Paris, June 18. —As a result of the in quiries in the Campos abduction case, the police are of the opinion that the affair was prearranged, as both parties are of age. The jwlice will not interfere. The alleged abduc tion is said to be M. Delatour Gainoeuf. It is said that he wrote a letter to the young lady instructing her to wear a light dress if she was willing to accompany him; other wise to wear a dark dress. On the day be fore the alleged abduction it is reported that the lady implored her milliner to be punc tual with her new light dress, and it is said that she wore the same dress in the Bois de Boulogne. Ex-Queen Isabella does not be lieve that the lady consented to go, and has written a letter to the authorities asking them to pursue the matter further. All kinds of rumors are in circulatipn, but no facts can he learned. “BARKIS” WAS WILLING. The man with whom the Countess Campos left France is Viscount Delatour Garboeux. The couple went to Antwerp, and will go from there to England, where they will bo married. The Countess has written to the papers saying that her object in running off with the Viscount was to secure her release from her oppressors and to regain her lib erty. The fortune of the Countess is esti mated at 7,500,000 francs. LONDON IN A WHIRL. European and American Royalty Ar riving on Every Train.

SAILING ROUND THE MOON THE “WORLD’S” AERIAL SHIP LANDS VERY UNExAICTEDLY. More Gas Should Bo Supplied From the Homo Office The Aeronaut Injured —Views and Sketches From the Clouds- Interesting Details of the Voyage Through the Air. Washington, June 18, —The signal offi cer received a telegram from Prof. Hazen to-day, stating that tho World balloon lauded at Centralia, 111., at 8:17 o’clock last night. BETTER GAS, MR. WORLD. Albany, N. Y., June 18. —A special dis patch received here from Centralia, 111., says: The descent of the big balloon was caused by the poor quality of the gas and the illness of Aeronaut Moore, who lost much blood from n:i accident to his hand. He fainted during the ascent. The party went up l<i,()00 feet. Gen. Hazen says the trip, which was full of exciting incidents, was scientifically successful. The balloon will be taken to St. Louis, from whence another start will undoubtedly be made. RIGHT SIDE UP WITH CARE. St. Louis, June 18.—A special from the World's balloon correspondent, Mr. Duffy, says that they were compelled to land at Hoffman, Clinton county, 111., near Cen tralia, at 8:15 o’clock last night. Aeronaut Moore received a very painful injury be fore starting yesterday, and the messages from Centralia state this, and the giving out of the gas was the cause assigned for the de scent. None other of the occupants of the car were hurt, and the balloon was securely anchored without a tear. A TALE OF THE AIR. The World and Post-Dispatch, balloon at tained a height of 16,000 feet above the sur face of the earth yesterday afternoon at 5:20 o’clock, according to the markings of the instruments of United States Signal Service Officer Hazen, who was one of the four in the car. This is the highest on record in America. At this point the ther mometer marked 37° Fahrenheit. Corre spondent Duffy says: “It seemed very cold, coming from a heat of 75° in the shade an hour before. The air ship left the earth as if reluctant to dejiart, but once on its voyage upward, it gained speed rapidly and was quickly among the clouds. Mr.” Doughlv is photographing the earth, Mr. Duffy is writing his dispatch, Gen. Hazen looks up from his in struments amazed and sees Moore helpless, the loss of bloixl from his injury having rendered him senseless. Gen. Hazen sings out: ‘We’re going too fast 1’ There is much excitement, but it calms in a minute, for the instrument records the balloon falling. Again the signal officer gives the w-arning, ‘We are falling dreadfully!’ and throws out a handful of circulars. They shoot down ward. A TERRIBLE EXPERIENCE. “Moore, half his peril and calls all hands to drop ballast. The sand falls scarcely faster than the car and the earth seems to fly upward. Rivers and . houses spread out as a vast map, growing ter ribly- nearer each minute. Moore sings out: ‘Something wrong boys. If we don’t stop her. We are lost, one thousand feet from the earth and still tumbling madly down. Seven hundred feet and tho drag rope touches the earth; COO and a check is per ceptible. At 400 the balloon skims along, falling no more; the 300 feet of drag rope resting on the earth gave relief. More ballast was thrown out and the ship again ascended, this time to 6,000 feet. The aeronaut then noticed that tne bag was sagging and announced that a landing must be made. When within a few hundred feet of land the drag rope skimmed along the earth, making a train for four miles, aud in its wake followed a crowd of natives. Several times they caught the rope aud were hurled roughly to the ground. A FEMININE SAVIOR. “At August Palmer's farm, seven miles from Centralia, 111., his sturdy wife gave the drag-rope half a dozen turns around an apple tree and brought the monster up with a jerk. The. wind caught the folds of the balloon and it soared up like a kite and for an hour the fanners tugged at the rope, and when the aeronaut pulled the ripcord, to his amazement he found it already loose, and this, it was found, was the cause or the feartul fall, so nearly disastrous to the occupants of the air-ship. The carrier pigeons that were re leased from tho balloon at a 2,900 feet alti tude, have appeared at their homes.. Gen. Hazen reports the voyage a success.” The balloon will be brought back to the city, and arrangements are now being made for another ascent. AFTER MANY DAYS.

Charleston, June 18. — This city has en jey ■(! two weeks of ealm. undisturbed ex cei>t by the MeElree incident, which, by the way, is a very, funny incident. Mr. MeElree is one of the most successful business men in L harleston. He came here some ten or twelve years ago and opened a kind of jewelry store under the Waverly House. ~IK a I'TOgn ssive Irish-American he spent nl>ut half ais business income in printers’ ink. He knew the secret of profitable ad'eitisint;, which is to spend money iUHiially and to mako ins advertise ments always unique, novel and attractive. In other words, he followed the example set by Sam Wilson, who is to day one of the richest men in the city, aud who commenced business in a lit tie corner shop grocery about sixteen years ago. Mr. Wilson mains a specialty at that time of‘-dollar tea.” It was at a time when the cheapest tea offered m the market commanded from SI.BO to #2 a pound. The country had w- returned to the specie basis. W ilson’s “dollar tea” advertisements were so persistent, so unique, so novel, so utterly endless, that the little corner grocery in a year or two had blossomed out into one of the finest ami most popular of King street groceries, and Mr. Wilson is to-day a capi talists who has coupon clippings every quarter. McElvee worked the same plan and die too soon made it pay. It paid hun so well, that lie purchased and is now running a jewelry jiulnce in the midst of the most fashionable portion of King street, and has bought and unproved a considerable quantity of real es tate in other portions of the city. Among his numerous investments in real estate was the old Gayer homestead on Meeting street, next north of the old artesian well lot. On this he spent considerable money, converting it into a model modern boarding house, which was occupied before the earthquake, and brought In a good in vestment on the outlay. The artesian lot had in the meantime been converted into a sort of public park, with a handsome orna mental iron fouutain in it. Bome time before the earthquake the city had been considering the advisability of con centrating its fire department at, n central station, and the old Artesian Park has been selected. The earth quake and the sale of the old guard house to the government for a post office and court house enables the city to carry out this plan, aud steps were taken looking to the accomplishment of that object. It was then that MeElree began to put on his war paint. Ho W'rote column and column of communications, got up lengthy petitions and liegan the agitation which has Rince became known as the “MeElree incident.” The newspapers refused to publish his communication which would have occupied too much space. But MeElree was not to be deterred tu this way. Ho bought out a column or two in the AVor.s and Courier and has tillod the Rpaoo witli vigorous communications —anew one every day—arraigning the city administration, Im* rating everybody and earnestly protest ing against what he calls this desecration. The MeElree column has attainod so much notoriety that It is regarded as one of the chief features of the paper. Everybody reads it and everybody is anxious to see what McEhee has to siy. Mr. McElroo will hardly prevent the building of the new cen tral stntiou, but be is getting a vast amount of good advertising, as his proclamations are all signed "John MeElree, proprietor of McElreo’s jewelry palace, 367 King street, etc.” This is a hint to Savannah merchants which they might do well to take. MeElree, as has been stated, is one of the most suc cessful business men in Charleston. He came here an utter stranger ten or twelve years ago and built up ids enormous busi ness solely by liberal and judicious advertis ing. THE OAS MONOPOLY. Another event of the week is the resump tion of the gas monopoly war, the details of which up to a certain point have been givon in this correspondence. The gas monopoly in Charleston has succeeded in killing one electric light company, anil swamping about $50,000 of Charleston capital. It lias also succeeded in crushing out all attempts to establish new gas companies. The new electric light company, however, which commenced business soon after the earth quake, did not ask for city pap, and has hence been allowed to get a footing without much trouble. As soon, however, as it be gan to get ;on, the giant gas octopus began to stretch out its arms. It applied to the City Council for permission to erect poles on the streets for furnisuing electric light. The permission was granted without hesitation. Then the Electric Light Com pany applied for iiermistrion to run mnins through the street for the furnishing of gas. This petition was promptly burlod in u con venient commits* pigeon hole. The purse of the gas octopus reaches even to the com mittee rooms of Council. The Electric Light Company, however, are determined not to tie licattn. Linder the omnibus incorporation law they obtained a charter for the incorpo ration of an electric light, gas, steam and wa ter-power comimny. Tpe old company was transferred to the new, and at the last, meet ing of Council an application was filed by the new conqiany for permission to run their mains through the streets. The peti tioners offer to give bond to keep the streets in repuir, the repaving to be done by expert workmen under the direction of the street department and at the expense of the peti tioners, and also promise not to interfere with the mains of either the gas or water (-ompaniee. The petition was referred to the same committal* that, buried the former, and the gas octopus will huve another opiortu nityof burying it. Hut the fight will not stop here. The new concern represent* Charleston capital, and has at its head some of the moat enterprising and influential citi zens. They mean to make a vigorous fight, and they will he burned by a large major ity of the long-suffering consumers of gas, who can see no reason why the city should oppress them by forcing them to pay $3 a 1,000 feet for gas when other comiuiies are reaiiy and anxious to furnish it to them at $1 is*r 1,000. It is astonishing how long this community has consented to suffer this affliction, and the present struggle is watched with eager interest. BASE BALL GOSSIP. Public interest in hast* ball matters has lteen considerably revived by the prompt ness with which the stockholders of the local club declined the offer of SO,OOO re cently made them for their franchise. The public did not have much faith in the direc tors’ declarations that they wouid stick through the season. The action of the stockholders, however, has shown that the club will not lack down, and interest in the national game has been revived. The mati nees, or telegraphic reports, are largely attended, and the community—for the whole community is interested—await with anxious longing the return of their team. The club has been offered all the financial assistance It wants to enable it to continue the fight to the bitter end. At present, ho vev#r, it is not in need of finan cial help. The series of home games were very profitable, the receipts amounting to a sum sufficient to pay all the expenses of the team in making the circuit of the present series. It will be remembered thnt last year the club kept it* team in the field long after t!earthquake, and fulfilled all it* engagement* at a heavy expense. It is not likely that it will sell it* franchise now, when the promise of a suc cessful season is so great. The entire com munity would lie shocked at a linckdowu under the circumstances and will willingly pay to prevent it. No Liberty for O’Nell.

Two Mon Board the Locomotive and Force the Engineer to Run the Train to Where the Gang Are In Waiting - Over SIO,OOO Booty Secured-No Arrests, as Usual. Houston, Tex., June 18.—The most daring train robbery that ever occurred in Texas was perpetrated this morning at 1 o'clock, a short distance from Behulenburg, < n the Southern Pacific railroad. A* the train drew up at the station two men with drawn revolvers mounted the engine, cov ered the engineer and compelled him to pull the train out to the open prairie, a few hun dred yards to the east, where the Are was burning, around which stood eight or ton men, armed with Winchester rifle*. The two robbers on the engine stood guard over the nmn at the throttle, while the other* went through the mail, express and passen ger cars. THEIR SLUMBERS RUDELY BROKEN. Nearly all the passengers were asleep and did not know what was going on until they were aroused by the robl*ra. The first man tackled by the thieves was W. Newberger, of New 5 ork, whom they struck on the head with a revolver. They secured from him $75 in cash and several diamonds aud a' gold watch, valued at about SI,OOO. P. C. Mayer, of Cincinnati, was relieved of #35. K. L Armstead, of New York, gave up S3O; ht* hail a larger amount of money with him, but it was hidden in the sleeping car. A gentleman from Mexico, whose name could not be learned, lost SIOO. All of the passenger* lost what valuables they had ana it is difficult to form any estimate of the amount of the money and jewelry secured. It is reckoned, however, at #5,000. Wells, Fargo A Co.’# express car was also gone through, but tlio amount of money taken from it cannot be ascertained. No mail route agent was on the train, hut the ttirough mail pouches in the express car were all cut open and their contents appropriated. The total amount secured bv the robbers is put down at SB,OOO or SIO,OOO, but when a careful revision of the matter is made the figures may he changed. There Is no doubt but that con siderable booty was secured, and the gang made off with it successfully. The whole country is aroused and in arms. Several parties have gono in search of the robbers.
