Tho appeal of William O’Brien, editor
of United Ireland, against tlie sentence of
three months’ imprisonment imposed on
him by the Michclhtown court,Was been
refused nnd the sentence of tlie lower court
confirmed. The charge of which he was
convicted was of using seditious lan
guage under tlie crimes act at the na
tional league meeting nt Mitchellstown.
A most exciting scene ensued in the
court room at Middleton when tho de
cision .confirming the sentence of the
Mitcheltown court was announced, Tlie
room was immediately in nn uproar, and
people clustered around Mr. O’Brien to
prevent tho law officers from arresting
him. Mr. Harrington contended that tho
police had no right to arrest Mr. O’Brien.
A terrible struggle took place in thc
court room aud in thc passage leading to
the street between Mr. O'Brien and his
friends on one side and the police on tlie
other. The police finally succeeded in
arresting Mr. O’Brien. Tho pep pie re
mained in thc street outside the conft
clamoring for the rescue of Mr. O’Brien
nnd vengeance upon the police. The vi
cinity of the prison at Cork, where Mr,
O’Brien won taken, was occupied by a
strong forco of pol ce. Fully one hun
dred ears followed the ear occupied by
Mr. O’Brien, which was driven rapidly
through the city to the prison, On ar
riving at tile prison Mr. O’Brion com
pelled tlie police to remove him forcibly
from tlie carriage, lie was accompanied
to prison by tlie mayor. 'Throughout
the proceedings tlie wildest enthusiasm
was shown.

POISONED SUPPER.

George O. King, who resides four
or five miles southwest of Lamar, La.,
gavo a dance and supper at his residence.
Aftor supper wns nearly over, all tlie
guests were taken violently sick and a
doctor was seat for, who pronounced the
s ckness caused by poison of some kind
and was unable to render much relii f.
cept officers, reporters nnd relatives of
tlie anarchists. As soon ns llie news from
Washington lmd generally circillnt
throughout tlie city, there wns u ru-li of
miscellaneous people to see tlie
detuned men before it was too late. They
entered the sheriff's office iu droves, imt
the hitch-string hud been withdrawn,am
tlie jail guard was as obdurate as the
prison wardens. Friends of tho doome
men, bearing baskets or delicacies for
them, begged admittance. The dain
ties wore passed in, hut only
relatives gained an entrance.
Said tlie sheriff: “I do not
want, to make nny fuss about it, but
tlie visits of other anarchists have
got to stop. Henceforth the doomed
men will not be allowed to have any
more recreation hours. Personally 1
would like lo grant them all the favors I
could, but I don't think it would b •
wise to do so. It may seem fodlish and
perhaps it is foolish, but I don't want
these men lo cheat the gallows by kill
ing themselves. Thcif friends might
give them daggers or poison,and nlthou li
I know that if they should want to kill
themselves, we would be powerless to
prevent it, still, I should notJiko to have
it said that if I had attended to my duty,
the suicides might have been prewinted!"

tsvarrt movement of the new crop, an i
uni iss combined with tlie stock of the
old crop nt distributing centres, does not
show the uctual distribution or c nsump-
tion. The total to date for cash of the
respective years is 1(15,000 barrels this
year, against 145,000 barrels last year.
Deducting these two amounts from flic
total stock and crop, leaves a visible
supply, 1 first hands, of about 313,000
barrels, against 575,000 barrels in 1880.
The partial failure of the potato crop iii
Europe has already caused a marked on
hirgemont of the demand for rice abroad ;
ftiulf nl though t ho output of the Indies
wad 0 per cent, greater than last year, tho
visible supply is now nearly 30 per cent,
dt
loss. Three prominent factors determino
the course of the domestic rice market
the amount produced; the cost of im
porting' foreign; the amount produced of
other crops—such as potatoes, etc., which
are related in a greater or less dogreo to
the same channels of consumption as rice.
The facts in regard to ttiese show that the
crop is nearly 2(;P,000 barrels short of
trade requirements east of tlie Rocky
Mountains; that the domestic in primary
mari etii is below the cost of competing
grades In foreign; that there is a marked
shortage in crops which are, ordinarily,
competitors with rice. These several
reasons are thought to clearly indicato
that there will he a high range of values
throughout tho season,

nights since, a negro family on the plan

caught on fire, and the flames were dis

knew that tho sick child was locked up;

rushed into the burning cabin, picked up

and ran out with it; hut as she reached

fell upon her and knocked her down.

WHITE LABORERS SHOT.
Tlie striker* shot four laborers at Ti-
gcrvillo, La., from an ambush. The su
gar plaiitutiou of Mr. Lacasagno, where
(lie shooting took place, is iu tho parish
of Terre Bonne, op Bayou Blnck, eight
miles from Tigerville, and between that
point and Ilomer. Prior to tho strike,
there wero employed upon the Green
wood plantation about sixty laborers,
twenty-five white, and tho remainder
colored. On Friday the iuttcr all struck
for-higlier wages, hut nil tho white hands
remained nnd continued nt work ns usual.

tilling up the number of laborers required
upon his plantation by engaging whito
men in New Orleans, and forty-live wero

turbulent and threatening, and the citi

FRAUDULENT EXPOSITION.
Buffalo Bill’s Wild West has closed tho

prietors of the enterprise will come out
about $250,000 ahead. It was intended
to go to Paris this winter, but the Hip
podrome there was engaged and nn ef
fort to secure the Palace of Industry was
abortive. The Wild West would have
made nt least half a million dollars in
London if it had not been tied up with
the no-called American Exposition, which
was a shameful fraud. If it had uot been
for Buffalo Bill and his cowboys and In
dians, the American Exposition could not

tho most paltry, miserable affair that ever
bore tiic name Exposition, and ns long us
it lasted, was a standing discredit to the
