CRUSHED IN A SLEEPER.
THIRTY LIVFS LOSf ON THE RAILS
IN OHIO.
A Heavy Freight Train Crashes into
the Rear of a Passer'ger Train Stand
ing at the etation at Ravenna—The
Wreck Catches Fire and the Unfor
tunate Travelers Slowly Roasted to
Death.
Cleveland, 0., Juiy 3.— At 3 o’clock
this morning at Ravenna, 0., on the New
York, Lake Erie and Western railroad,
train No. 8, a fast express, hound for New
York, while standing at the depot awaiting
orders, was dashed into from the rear by a
freight train. The day coach in the rear
was completely telescoped, and nineteen
passenger* were killed and thirty-eight
severely wounded. The coach and two
sleepers forward took fire and vrere soon
consumed, burning many of the bodies so
that they were almost unrecognizable.
A special train with surgeons and nurses
was sent from Youngstown. The wreck is
the most disastrous that ever occurred on
the Erie road. Many of the pa*engers
were asleep when the awful crash came
and a number were crushed to death in
their berths.
A TERRIBLE SCENE.
A terrinle scone followed. There were
cries for help from all ports of the train
mingled with the dying moans of others
whose lives were being crushed out. Steam
was escaping from the monster freight
engine and soon the wreck caught fire and
the flames crowded upon those who were
fast in the debris. The few persons who
escaped without injury worked with
almost superhuman power in their efforts
to rescue tho more unfortunate ones. In
several instances persons were slowly
burned to death while pleading with their
last breath for help, which could not be
rendered. The wreck was most complete.
The oars were piled up and across each
other. As rapidly as injured per
sons were rescued they were
conveyed to the station, where physicians
from Ravenna and other near points, first
to arrive, rendered all tho assistance possi
ble. The fire was finally extinguished, but
not until several person* had perished. In
a couple of hours the oompany had re
sponded and a relief train with a corps of
physicians and nurses arrived from Cleve
land and other points, and the injured were
given every attention. Those able to he re
moved were sent to Cleveland and placed in
hospitals.
THE DEAD.
The dead were removed to the rooms of
undertakers in Rabenna, where they will
await identification. Some are so badly
burned and disfigured that it will be diffi
cult to identify them. Every one helped in
the efforts to alleviate the sufferings of the
injured and rescue the dead bodies from the
great mass of wrecked and partly burned
cars.
SOME ONE TO BLAME.
It would appear that the whole accident
was due to the carelessness of someone in
leaving a switch open. The heavy freight
traiu was running at tho rate of thirty
miles an hour, and it struck the passenger
train with full force.
THE DEAD AND INJURED.
The following list of dead and injured was
given out at noon:
Dead —David Rehihan.F. Huff, J. Griffin,
1. Dunthorp.W. Kane, I. Burns, J. Kimball,
. Demean, J. Coyle, O. Harding, D. Ryan,
:. Castady, IV. Newcomb, P. Nolan, and a
rse whose name is unknown. All of these
ere taken out of the w reck dead, and all
it three were burned to a crisp,
rhomas Cai welle was taken out of tho
wreck alive. He was terribly crushed and
bn ned, and his suffering was awful to be
hold. in au ngo .izi.ig voice he called to a
fneud: “Billy, for God’s sake, get an ax and
kill me!” He died soon after.
Henry Gilde was badly injured and died
soon after being taken to the hotel.
ROME OF THE INJURED.
Among the injured are: George Smith,
John Cadmeer, H. C. Degraff, James Mc-
Gill, John Keating, Jonah Clark and A. P.
Jones. Their Injuries consist principally of
broken limbs, and none of them are be
lieved to be fatally hurt. Thomas Hanley
and James Morgan, two others, are in a
serious condition, and it is feared that they
will not recover.
The dead and injured were employed in
Richardson’s glassworks at Findlay, O,
which shut down yesterday for the summer,
and they were on their way to Corning, N.
Y., their homes. They were ail on an extra
car attached to the train, and the only per
sou known to have been killed on the sleeper
was the nurse.
ANOTHER ACCOUNT,
A special from Youngstown, 0.,
says: “At Ravenna the worst railroad
wreck which ever happened on the
western reserve, excepting the Ash
tabula horror, occurrod this morning, re
sulting in the death of twenty-five people
and the serious, if not fatal, injury of at
least six more. Fire added its terrors to
the already frightful scene, and the bruised
a id charred remains of the victims were
badlv burned, while one poor
w’oman. pinioned in the wreck, was
cremated before the eyas of the spectators,
who work to secure her release until driven
off by the flames. The east bound Erie
vestibule No. 8, due at Youngstown at 2:55
o’clock tins morning, was very late and run
ning on orders. When a stop was mads at
Ravoana the engineer and fireman of the
passenger train went to work to repair the
engine, and the train was again detained
several minutes.
a flagman’s crims.
A flagman was sent back, but went only
a few feet. Suddenly around a curvo came
train No. 82, composed of Swift's meat oars.
I he train was ruuning twenty-five miles an
hour and coming down a heavy grade. The
engineer supposed he bad a clear tra; k, and,
t being a through train, he was not ex
pected to stop at Ravenna. He called for
brakes and reversed his engine, but ail to
no purpose. Ou came tho freight train
with but slightly decreased speed and no
word cf warning could be given to the
people in the doomed train. A few feet
wist of the station the engineer and fire
niaa jumped, alighting safely.
THlt CRASH.
■A moment later and the heavy freight
crashed into the passenger train. For a
moment after there was the silence of
death. Then commenced the most fright-
Jul ones ever heard. The moans of tho dy
ing and piteous cries for help from the im
prisoned and helpless passengers, and the
mutilated and Dloody remains of the dead
Jf 6 ” through the fragments of
the debris formed a scene of horror no pen
can picture. The freight etigine had gone
clean through the day coach iu the rear,
through the sleeper and buried Itself in the
Mcond sleeper, the third car of the train,
there was nothing left of the train but a
mass of debris, and the sides of car No. 3

it prisoner and prevent further damage.
fire breaks out.
Rt-i ! scene taste l but a moment, when
mtie tongues of flames sprang up here and
mere, and soon the whole wreck was
wrapped in fire. It was a sickening sight.
The morning News.
Two score* of imprisoned passengers were
in the debris, and the Sanies lighting up
tha place with a lurid glare served only to 1
intensify the horror without aiding the res- I
euers. As soon as the dazed passengers in
the other cars recovered tbsmseives they |
rushed to the rescue of their unfortunate (
companions. The fire department was im
mediately telephoned for, and every one in .
that end of the little oltv rushed So the
scene of the disaster. Hundreds were soon
surrounding the wreck, but to little pur
pose. The awful rulu had been wrougnt,
and little was left to do bat secure ana care
for the remains of the dead. A few passen
gers easily teaohed wore promptly rescued,
and several bodies of the dead and dying
were carried up to the platform.
A BLOCKADE AVOIDED.
Ravenna, 0., July 3. —There was not
much of a blockade, owing to plenty of
sidings, and trains being immediately
stopped st all points east and west. A tramp
who was sWaling a ride on the rear and of
the passenger train said to a reporter that
the flagman did not go back over half a car
length, and that there was no time for the
engineer to stop the freight train. He has
been arrested to he held a* a witness. There is
a stretch of straight track west ot the depot
at least half a mile long, but the grade is
very heavy and it is very difficult to stop
trains. Being late at night it is probable,
too, tho brakemen oould not, or did not, re
spond as promptly as they might have done
in the day time.
THE FLAGMAN’S FAULT.
Pittsburg, Pa., July B,—A special from
Ravenna, 0., B ys: “It is asserted by Supt.
Mattison, who is investigating the disaster,
that the acoident was due to the careless
ness of the passenger crew. The train was
in charge of Conductor Boynton, and his
son was the rear flagman, who, instead of
going back, leaned against the rear
coach until the freight train was in
sight, and then it was too late
to stop it. On the person of
Willie Kane, of Corning, N. Y., a glass
blower, was found §3OO. The boy had been
saving his money to surprise his widowed
mother, and death stopped his journey. It
is said that a S-months’-old bat)#, found
dead in the wreck, was the child of a pas
senger, and when he saw that it and the
nurse were killed he heartlessly left them
and continued his journey east as soon as
a train was made up. Coroner Sherman is
now holding au investigation. No arrests
of any trainmen have yet been made.”
THE LATEST LIST.
Ravena, 0., July 3, 11 p. m.— Follow
ing is believed to be a correct list of the
killed and wounded:
Killed—Henry Gilda, John MoAver, Pat
rick Ryan, T. Haufe, F. Burns, J Kimball,
Owen Hardeman, Thomas Nolan, Thomas
Keville, George Gild-oa, David Olehiau, J.
Coyle, W. Nowoomb, D. Ryan, D. Cassidy,
Henry McGill, all glass workers of Find
lav, 0., and Corning, N. Y.: G. Griffin of
Brooklyn,N. Y.,A. Guthrop of Brooklyn, N.
Y., W. Aiken of Brooklyn, N. Y., a pas
senger in the Pullmau sleeping car.
Injured—Joseph Morgan of Corning, N.
Y., cut on the face and badly burned
about; the legs and back, very seriom.
Thomas JHanley of Corning, fcN. Y., se
verely injured on the face, head aud
shoulders. George Smitn of > oruing, crushed
and burned. James D. Wickeo of Corning,
crushed and burned. Beuuie Ryan of Corn
ing, crushed and burned. James Smith, leg
broken. H. De Gruffe, head, neck and
shoulders cut and bruised. John Gad ween,
hip, back and shoulders injured. James
McGillj badly squeezed about the body;
John Keating, cut on the head. A. P.
Jones, head cut. Johanne Clark, cut on
head.
NONF. of the trainmen hurt.
One fact has impressed all here, Not one
of the trainmen met with injury. W. H.
Young of Meadville, couduotor of the
freight train, in giving his version of tbe
affair said: “We were runniug at a moder
ate rate of speed, but the grade was steep,
and we had a heavy train. The flag
man was not out far enough and
we could not see him in time to
stop. All the trainmen got off in time to es
cape injury.” The wreck will bean expensive
one from a financial standpoint, as the loss
will foot up in the neighborhood of SIOO,OOO.
By 9 o’clock the wrecking crew had tbe
debris oioared and the wounded
were being cared for. Supt.
Matson would give no opinion
nor m-ike any statement in regard to tbe
wreck, but the case will be fully investi
gated, and the strict rules of tbe Erie sys
tem will be enforced. Many wild rumors
are afloat, but noue are worthy of credence,
and only a close investigation can place
tbe blame where it belongs.
AN OPERATOR'S BLCNDE3.
Two Freight Trains Collide and Cost a
Fireman His Life.
Watkrbury, Conn., July 3.—By the
blunder of Telegraph Operator Killing, at
New England station here, two freight
trains running in oppisite directions came
together on the New England road near
Bradley’s, a few miles west of here, last
night, at 11 o’clock. The locomotives were
smashed, with eight freight cars. All hands
escaped except Fireman Edward Muxell of
Hartford, who jumped late and was pinned
in the overturned tender of hi* engine and
killed. Killing has fled.
KING MAY HANG. *
The Jury Finds Him Guilty of Murder
in tho First Degree.
Memphis, Tenn., July 3.—Without the
intervention of the higher court, 11. Clay
King, slayer of David 11. Posten, will pay
the penalty of the law. In anticipation of
the fact that the jury would be ready with
their verdict this morning, the criminal
court was crowded with an eager ihroug,
who had watched the < ate from
its inrept.on. About 8:50 o’oiock
Judge Dußose put la an appearance,
and five minutes later the familiar
sound of the gavel was heard, and Deputy
Perkins announced the opening of the court.
At 9 o’oiock the jury tiled in and took their
positions in a standing posture in front of
the jury box. The defendant surrounded
by his son, Houghton, who has beon his
right hand bower throughout the long and
tedious trial, his son-la-law Brooks,
brother-in-law Houghton of Aberdeen,
Miss., his attorneys, Col. Weatherford,
Judge Greer, and Gen. McClearyof Texas,
sat by nervously tugging at his beard. In
answer to the court’s inquiry: “Have you
agreed upon a verdict?' 1 Foreman Hunter
said: “We, the Jury, find the defendant
guilty of murder in the first degree.” There
was no apparent motion on the part
of King occasioned by the announce
ment, but he sat gazing steadfastly
in the faces of the jury, preserving the same
calm indifferenoe tuat has characterized his
bearing throughout the trial. Judge Greer,
of the counsel for the defense, at once made
a motion for anew trial, which will be
argued in a few days.
A Ball Player Expelled.
Cincinnati, 0., July 3.—President
Kramer, of the Amerioan Association, has
expelled John O’Connor, of the Columbus
Club, from the American Association. The
charges against him were habitual drunken
ness, disorderly conduct and insubordina
tion.
SCOOPING A NEW FIELD.
THE STANDARD OIL COMPANY AT
WORK IN GERMANY.
Hardly Any Doubt But it Will Secure
Control of the Trade—The Roths
childs and the German Press Raising
a Howl That is Not Apt to Amount
to Much.
Berlin, July 3.— lnterviews with coal
oil dealers at Berlin, both wholesale and
retail, show a very general opinion that
the Standard Oil Company, having ab
sorbed big importing houses, is now trying
to gain control of tho jobbing trade and
then of the retail business in Germany.
Every step is taken in exact con
formity with the law aud the rem
edies to ha proposed are likely to prove only
temporary aad Ineffectual. It is generally
believed here that oven the Rothschilds
will have to yield to the American oom
pany.
BOUND TO GST CONTROL.
Robert Salinger, president of the United
German Petroleum Works, a corporation
which has oxtsntive refineries in Han >vor,
said he had little doubt that the American
company would sooner or later control
the outiro Germau market. "As soon
as they have completed their arrangements
with the Rothschilds they will have all
Germany in their power. We have a few
oil wells in Alsace, and there are als i some
in Galicia, but tbeir output is so small that
it plays no part in supplying the German
demand. Mr. Galde is mistaken if he says
the Rothschilds’ oil interest is small. Tbe
Rothschilds’ wells may not have produced
much oil, but they have much territory
which is capable of great improvement. Be
sides, they control the product of many
wells which they do not nominally own."
WILLING TO SELL OUT.
Mr. Salinger thought that Nobel Bros,
would also gladly sell out to the American
company rather than risk a losing light.
The biggest coal oil merchant in Berlin is
Louis Levisohu. He thinks tho American
company will not be content until it has
control of the retail business in Germany.
"The Rothschilds,”he said; “what can they
do? Americans say to them: ‘You go east,
to Africa, to Asia," wherever you please,
we want Europe west of the Rus
sian frontier.’ The Standard lowers prices
and makes tbe Rothschilds howl. They
will have to eome to terms. Add to this
that Russian oil is far inferior to the
Americau product.
HOWL OF THE PRESS.
“Gorman newspapers scream and protest.
That is all the good it will do. The govern
ment can do nothing. It cannot imposo a
protective tariff, for we have nothing
to protect. If additional duty were put on
petroleum the poor people of Germany
would be tho sufferers and not the Stand
ard. Our hope is that as they found the
at sorption of large importing firms so diffi
cult, they will hesitate to undertake the
work of reorganizing the entire wholesale
and retail trade of Germany. But in time
they will do it.”
HAYIi’3 RBVOLUTION.
Minister Douglass Denies That He Had
to nemdu Indoors.
Washington, July 3. —Hon. Frederick
Douglass, United States minister to llayti,
reached Washington to-night on a vacation.
To a Post reporter to-night he said the story
that be was compelled to remain indoors
during the recent trouble in Haytl was a
hoax. Speaking of the revolution,"Minister
Douglass said t&at for a time things were
exceedingly uncomfortable. Bullets
whistled around In a manner which
would make any one but a * veteran
feel that be was in close quarters. Minis
ter Douglass said he had just oome in from
his oountry place aud ho got to the consul
ate without losing much time. The revo
lutionists may have thought they were
going to have an easy time of it, but they
were badly m error. President Hippolvte
was equal to the emergency and they were
soon glad enough to flee to the mountains.
He had warned them it would be dangerous
to make an attack, but they thought other
wise.
as noisy as an army.
They numbered about sixty, but it ap
peared to him, said Minister Douglass, that
they had a million of guns, and knew how
to use them. AU is quiet now, he added,
and he did not think there would be any
further trouble soon. Presdent Hippolyte
has taught the would-be revolutionists a
lesson which they will cot soon forget. He
has shown himself a level-headed man and
stands higher with his people than ever be
fore. Tbe President is extremely popular in
Port-au-Prince. The sooner Hayti, Chile
and the other South America countries
learn the art of eleoting men and keeping
good ones, said Minister Douglass, and
not trying revolutionary me.nods, the
be-tor it will be for all concerned. They do
not now seem to realize this, but he be
lieved the time is coming when they will.
There was no truth in the report that the
state department had recalled him. He
would be here sixty days and would then
return to his post.
A BOLD DIAMOND ROBBERY.
One Man China the Jeweler and
Another Commits the Tnefc.
Nashville, Tenn., July 3.—One of the
boldest diamond robberies ever committed
In this city was perpetrated this afternoon
at E. Wiggers' jewelry store, on Union
s reet. Ahout 2 o’clock Wiggers and his
colored porter were in the store alone, the
two clerks having gone to dinner. A young
man of medium size, beavily built, with
dark hair and mustache, attired in a neat
fitting suit, entered the store and asked to be
shown Some silverware. Wiggers proceeded
to the rear of the store where tbe silver case
is kept, and proceeded to show his goods to
the customer. Tho young man seemed hard
to suit, aud after requiring several pieces
on the top shelves of the case to be taken
down, ha finally left without purchasing
any silverware.
A STARTLING DISCOVERY.
Wiggers walked to tho front of the store
and was startled to fiud one of his trays in
which jewels are kept in the show case
lying under the c muter. Upon examina
tion of the case it was found that the tray
was one in which diamonds were displayed
and that it was amply, the entire
lot, valued at SB,OOO, being gone. The tray
contained duster and solitaire diamonds,
earrings, etc., ranging in value from
s2l to $l5O eaca. Wiggers thinks t .at
while he was waitiug on this man his pal
slipped into the store aud took the jewelry,
emptying it into his handkerchief or sachel,
and then quietly slipping out. It is thought
the robbery was the work of professionals.
Deteotivos were immediately put on the
case.

UPSETTING THE PROGRAMMES.
CnpyriaMsd, 1891, by the ,V. Y. Associated Press.
London, July 3.—Before the emperor
left Rotterdam to-night the latest phase of
the official programme for hla reception in
England had not received his approbation.
Since the Bret draft was submitted to him
he nas busied hlnisdf with upsetting the
arrangements from the moment of his
arrival at Port Viotorla to the
date of his farewell on July 13.
In his latest imperious intimation, tele
graphed to-day, ne declines to review the
volunteers at Wimbledon, the greatest
popular function in his honqr alter the
progress to Guild hall. Report says that
his refusal is absolute and that be bad
dr >ppel a remark which was repeated to
official ciroles here that he did not want to
look at tradesmen masquerading as sol
diers.
LIKELY TO BE RESENTED.
As the abandonment of the review is
likely to be resented as an indignity by the
volunteers, 23,000 of whom were enrolled to
tako part in the review, It is proposed to
substitute for the review a inarch past
the Horse Guards’ if his kaisership oan be
induced to tderate the spectacle. But the
ceremonial aspects of the visit trouble the
government less than the political. The
Erst five days of his sojourn the emporor
passes in comparative seclusion at Windsor,
i.ord Salisbury goes to Windsor to-morrow
and will remain there until July 8.
ENGLAND AND THE DHEI3UXD.
The pageantry associated with the visit
now ill oonceals a fact of serious political
unport. On the eve of his starting on his
toiir the emperor declared that the dreibuad
had been renewed and Premier Rudiul pro
claimed an entente with England. The gov
ernment here refuses to gl/o explicit
respon>es to questions in the House of Com
mons on the nature of the commitments of
England, but the universally accepted
belief in diplomatic circles is that Lord
Salisbury is pledging the country further
than he dares to reveal, and that
his stay at Windsor Is likely to
involve the greatest consequences to the
nation. The opposition, d.seatisfled with
the emptiness of the explanations of the
government, mean to go thoroughly into
the questiou when the foreign office esti
mates are reached, but they will probably
fail to draw the desired information from
the government.
THE GUILD HALL SPEECHES.
Some inkling of the real position, it is
hoped, may be got from the speeches at the
Guild ball banquet, which is often selected
for striking ministerial announcements.
If the emperor is permitted to oxeroise bis
tendency to utter frankness, some
thing will beoorae known; hut official
opinion is that Lord Salisbury will succeed
in tutoring him into some formal declara
tion that will disclose nothing. The grow
ing popular Impression that the emperor’s
visit will result in complications in Eng
land’s foreign relations will tend to modify
the warmth of the emperor's reception.
THE PRESS ON GUARD.
The press comments indicate this.
"Though the visit may be sport to him,”
says a leading unionist weekly, "it Is no
fun for us. Could not he have let it alone?
Is it friendly thus to be superheating the
hatred of Franc) for England and increas
ing the ill-will of Russia?" Whatever may be
the meaning of the emperor’s presence here
no foreign potentateever was reoeived with
similar elaborate preparations. Thesquad
ron which is to salute the Hoheneolleru to
morrow is the pick of the British navy.
Along the railway route to Waterloo Junc
tion every station is a moss of floral and
flag decorations. The streets of the old
town of Windsor are abiasj in oolor.

The Rubens room, king’s ch set and queen's
cloeet have been reserved for the imperial
visitor*. The king’s closet, arranged as a
sleeping apartment for the emperor, has a
bedstead of the Louis f-etze style,
with gilt pilasters, bearing a
domed canopy surmounted with
ostrich feathers and draperies
of green satin embroidered with flower
work. Th# queen’s closet, which will be the
empress’ bedroom, has a similar bedstead,
and is upholstered in green Utreoht velvet,
trimmed with gold. The queen’s heart
seemed set upon unwonted expenditure
The costliest furniture and carpets are pro
vided for the royal rooms, approaches and
gallei ies. Even Bt. George’s chapel is be
decked beyond precedent. Windsor never
saw a period of several successive days of
pageantry so tnagnifiosnt.
The police discredit the stories of socialist
demonstrations against the emperor. Four
leading sociullst clubs concur in deciding to
abstain from taking part in any demonstra
tion. The anarchist club Autonomy has
split on suspicion that some of its member*
advocating outrage were * ’agents prova

ENGLISH LABOh’3 DBMANC3.
A Stormy Exposition of Views Bsfore
the Commission.
London, July 3. —At a meeting of com
mission “A” of the royal labor commission,
which took place to-day there was a stormy
exposition of views, which resulted in the
court being cleared by order of the chair
man, the Earl of Derby. The excitement
commenced when Mr. Donovan, a steve
dore, was questioned in regard to the com
position of the shipping confederation fed
eration and in reply began a warmly
worded speech, whloh seems to have so dis
turbed the euri’a feelings that he perempto
rily silenced the "bold stevedore."
a labor leader’s speech.
‘‘Ben’’ Tillot, a well-known labor lender,
followed Mr. Donovan, and he also com
menced the delivery of w.iat. seemed to be a
lung speech upon labor matters in general,
when the Earl of Derby stopped him impa
tiently, raving: "I ennuot listen to all these
details, kindly condense your remarks.”
Mr. Tillet was then permitted to resume his
remarks and pronounced himself as being
in favor of the municipalization of the
docks, saying that state municipalities
ought to co-operate with workshop* and
And employment for all. The states, ac
cording to Tillet, should have beneficial
education for youth and adult, and should
find the necessaries of life for all.
WOMEN SHOULD WORK,
Mr. Tillett added that in bis opinion if a
lady would not work she ought not to eat.
The state, continued the labor leader,should
be a universal employer, and as it was the
recognized duty of the state to teach con
victs a trade the state should at least extend
the same to poor nou-ori,mlnals. Mr. Tillett
then began making serious charges against
certain persons, when the Earl of Derby,
whose patience had long been on the point
of being exhausted, ordored the court to be
cleared.
NO QUARTER FOB PARNELL.
The Priests Bound to Keep Him Out of
thn Leadership-
London, July S.—Mr. Parnell’s marriage
has not helped his cause, as he and his
friends Inst week confidently hoped it
would. The action of the Irish bishops
yesterday in reaffirming their declara
tion that Mr. Farnell Is unfit to be
leader of the Irish people shows
that no quarter will be given him by the
olergy. This Is considered to be a Coal blow
at Mr. Parnell’s cause, and the reception
which he met with at Carlow yesterday
shows that the people have ceased to pay
any attention t<> him, At Mesh all, it may
be addod, Mr. Parnell addressed a rooting
at which over thirty people were present.
Archbishop Walsh has writteu a letter
to Thomas Sexton, M. P., expressing the
prelate’s gratitude for the splendid services

Irish land bill. The bishop says that al
though they did not win success on every
point they still gained enough to redeem the

INFLUENCE OF THE PRIESTS.
The Carlow priests, a majority of whom
are iu favor of the anti-Pam el 11 to candidate
for parliament, are greatly influencing the
popnlaoe, except at Bagralstowo. where
Father O’Neill, In spite of the manifesto of
the bishopsjissued this morning, has pub
lished a letter, publicly reproving bis
curates for their attitude and challenging
tiien to produce written authority from
the bishop for their flouting his authority
in his teeth in bis own parish.
Mr. Phrnell held a successful meeting at
Teemagb to-day. He condemned the
House of Lords for its action regarding
the land bill, and accused the
landlords and Healyltes of conspiracy.
Afterward he vainly essayed to speak at
B llon, probably the most hostile district
of Carlow. There he was received hy

Rome, July 3.—The comments of the
American press on the Cahensly scheme of

In the "hat trimming casa” decided that the

grounds that they should have been

tention that that was their chief use. Five
million dollars wa9 involved. The verdict
was for the government as to all the items

were hat trimmings, and as to this the ver
