FOUND AT LAST.
Wliat Hunters Discovered in a Burned-Out
Dance Hall.
Hurley, Wis., has a lurid sensation in
connection with the wretched dives and
haunts of infamy which flourish here. A
number of these dens were burned in the
big fire. Among those so destroyed and
not rebuilt was one that had stood on the
very edge of a deep ravine, near the main
street. Under the ruins of this old den
the murdered bodies of seven men have
been found. The discovery of the bodies
was quite au accident. Two men, with
their dogs, started out on a hunt. In
leaving the town they chanced to go by
the way of the ravine. Soon they missed
one of their dogs, and a moment later
heard the animal howling up the ravine.
As they approached the site of the old
den on the ravine’s brink their nostrils
were greeted with a sickening stench.
dead Supposing animal the odor was caused bv some
turned they called their dog and
away. The dog came running to
them with a silk cap, of the kind worn
by railroad men, in his mouth. Clinging
to the cap were tufts of hair. This looked
rather suspicious and the hunters began
an of investigation. As they neared the site
the old dance house the stench became
dreadful. The dog led them to the rear
of the ruins, and there under some rotten
logs and but partially covered with earth,
they made a find so ghostly that they near
ly fainted. The decomposed bodies of
seven murdered men lav under the logs.
The bodies were in all conceivable shapes
and attitudes. Some were euvied up on
their sides, others lay prone on their
backs, some were doubled in extraordi¬
nary position, but all showed horrible
wounds.

IRELAND’S WOES.
Lively ftlectluga of Agitators in Ireland and
tlie United States.
The meeting at Woodford, Ireland,
which was proclaimed by the govern¬
ment, conducted was by held, the proceedings O’BrieD, being
Messrs. McGill
and others. The telegraph wires were
cut about miduight the night before, thus
preventing communication with Dublin.
Mr. O’Brien was received by a great
crowd with rousing cheers, lie burned
a copy of the proclamation forbidding
the holding of the meeting. This act
aroused the wildest enthusiasm. Five
other members of Parliament made ad¬
dresses. The meetiug dispersed in an
orderly manner, just as the police put in
an appearance. The Morning Post, re¬
ferring editorially to tho meeting at
Woodford, says: “It is utterly impossi¬
ble for the government to abstain from
taking very decisive action against those
who contemptiously set them at defiance.’'
Sir Thomas Henry Grattan Esmonde and
Arthur O’Connor received a hearty wel¬
come at a crowded meeting held at the
Academy of Music iu Jersey City, N. J.
Mr. O’Connor said: “If there are anj
English spies present at this meeting 3
want them to note what I say. Thelrisl
are-ready to fight for Ireland nation if they gets
chance. Any power or that Eng¬
land may try to strike can have 100 00C
such men to fight against the British
cfown on three days’ notice. They will
bi willing and to serve for the love of tht
t nng, won’t ask for pay. Many
Irishmen would only be too glad to dc
more active service in a cause so dear tc
them.'’ Brief speeches were made by
Governor Green, Congressman McAdoc
and T. Duun English, of Newark. Res»
olutions condemning the tory coercioc
bill, and pledging support to the hom<
l-alc movement, were unanimously
adopted.
GEN, BOULANGER.
Great Excitement la Franco Over His Ar¬
rest for Wliat He Said.
The council of generals which was ap-
6 ointed for the marges purpose nrei of s.o
him of selling civil decorations, has pro¬
nounced him guilty of habitual miscon¬
duct. It -was decided by the council to
place Caffarel on the retired list of the
army, and he will be deprived of his dec¬
oration of the Legion of Honor. His
pension, granted for thirty-nine years’
service in the army, will be reduced from
8,000 francs to 4,000 francs. M. Ferron
telegraphed to Gen. Boulanger at Mont
lucon, ordering him to return forthwith
to Clermont-Ferrand, his headquarters,
and asking if the words attributed to him
by the newspapers in connection with the
Caffarel affair were correctly reported.
The newspapers alleged that Gen. Bou¬
langer informed a reporter that he never
doubted that the prosecution stated of Caffarel that he
was aimed at himself. He
desired the most minute inquiry into his
conduct, and that if he had been minister
of war and Caffarel had avowed his guilt
to him, he would have offered him a re¬
volver with which to blow out bis brains.
Gen. Boulauger, in reply to Fcrron’s tele¬
gram, said: “I have returned to Cler¬
mont FerrajkL I am unable to p rocure
the newspapers mentioned. Send them
to me.” M. Ferron again sent a telegram
to Gen. Boulanger, demanding a him. cate¬
gorical reply to the charges against

Ferroa that lie did use the language
attributed to him in tfie newspapers, and
he was at once placed under arrest.
moke railroad blundering.
An accommodation train .on tho Mis¬
souri Pacific Railroad, consisting of four
coaches, left Independence, Mo., crowded
with passengers for Kansas City. Near
Rock creek station the accommodation
was telescoped in the rear by the Wich¬
ita express, consisting of eighteen coaches,
all heavily loaded. A lady standing on
the platform of the station was struck in
the abdomen and killed by the debris.
Circuit Clerk II. H. Noland was badly
injured. Nat Chapman, baggage master
on the accommodation, suffered a broken
leg and other injuries, and Edward Mil
ton, an employe of Solomon Reed, of In¬
dependence, was also seriously hurt. A
large number of passengers on both trains
injured thpmselvcs by trying to break
t! r nigh the windows. The accident was
caused by the failure of the train dis¬
patcher to notify theexpress thit the ac¬
commodation had preceded him. Most
of the passenger; on both trains were go¬

by The President’s special train, preceded
a pilot train, passed Springfield, Mo.,
early in the morning. The passengers three
were all asleep. A crowd of two or
hundred persons was at the station to see
the train. After the passage of the Ozark
Mountain, the train ran through a sparsely of
settled region offering little in the way
popular demonstration. The floral tro¬
phies little of the ride through Arkansas pinned was in
one piece bunch of golden rod inscribed for
a of pink-tinted paper,
the President and his wife. It was hand¬
ed to the President by a tow-headed miss
of thirteen, at a water-tank stopping
place. At one point a company of lan¬
cers was drawn up in line with arms at
present, and at another, where the loco¬
motive was coaled, the natives had an op¬
portunity to shake the President’s hand.
At West Memphis, Tenn., a delegation
of half a dozen gentlemen boarded tho
Irain as it came to a stop and informally
conveyed to the excursionists the greet¬
ings of the several committees formed to
do the honors of the city and invited
them on board the steamer Kate Adams
which laid moored close at hand. Upon
the steamer they were welcomed by about
two hundred of the leading citizens, and
members of the executive, reception

cast off her line, and to the music of an
artillery salute fired from the levee on the
east side, steamed up past the city, the
band playing and the people along the
shore cheering and waving their hats and
handkerchiefs. The vessel went about
three miles up stream to give the Presi¬
dent an opportunity to see the river im¬
provements in progress, and on turning
eame back to the custom house, where,
after a little delay the distinguished
guests were landed. In the evening there at
were fireworks, and a grand reception President

was domiciled.
The second day of the President’s stay
in Memphis was a perfect one—not a
cloud being visible in all the heavens.
There was but little noise, howe.ver, until
after the procession had moved, when the
the crowds of persons which lined
entire route yelled themselves hoarse. To

closing his speech in Court square, a most
unfortunate occurrence took place, Judge
Henry Eilett, 80 years of age, the
gentleman who delivered the wel¬
coming speech, falling to the
floor in a dead faint. Dr. Bryant, of
the presidential party, attended the un¬
fortunate man, and subsequently Dr,

President Cleveland, who had just fin¬
ished his address, stood looking at the
efforts that were being made to revive
the venerable jurist, with sad and sym¬
pathetic countenauco, while Mrs. Cleve¬
land seemed deeply affected. The presi¬
dential party had left tho from platform the be¬

remarked; “Let’s join the
party.” In answer to the inquiry,
“What is the matter with Judge Eilett?”
Dr. Bryant responded: “He has fainted
and has not yet recovered consciousness.”
This was said to dispel the shadow of
gloom that might otherwise have been
cast upon the festivities had the true con
dition of the stricken man been made
known. The immense multitude who
witnessed the incident did not realize
that death had come amongst them. They
made a rush for the exposition building,
where a reception was being held, leaving
a few friends of the judge the sad duty
of carrying his remains across the
street from where they were soon after
wards taken to his home on Shelby
street. The presidential reception to the
nublio in the hall of the cotton exchange
was about an hour in leDgth. The assisted Pres
ident and Mrs. Cleveland were
by Postmaster-General and Mrs. Vilas,
From the exchange the party was escorted
to their train at the foot of Court street,
and atone o’clock left for Nashville.
At McKenzie, Tenn., the President,
Mrs. Cleveland and the Postmaster Gen
eral actually got left, the train starting
off for Nashville without them. It hap
pened in this way: The place is the

manager of the railroad. “Going
without the President?” asked Mr. Bald¬
win, “Why, lie’s aboard,” said the rail¬
road man, “I saw him as the train
started.” “No, he’s not,” answered Mr.
Baldwin, “you have left him behind.”
The rope was pulled, and the train came
to a stop about a mile from the station
and returned. The President went aboard
aughing, but remarked with a good deal
of emphasis that he would not consent to
c.ivo the train except at the places
indicated in the programme of ar¬
rangements. Mrs. Cleveland graciously
pretended to have enjoyed the experi¬
ence, but there was au expression upon
her face which indicated that she was
heartily glad to And herself in her own
cozy parlor. At Brownsville, Milan and
several other of the larger towns, great
crowds were collected to see the passing
train, and the usual demonstrations were
made. During the evening bonfires, il¬
luminations, Roman candles and artillery
salutes were seen and heard at many
p'aces along the line. At a quarter past
the train reached Belle Meade. 6 mills
from Nashville, where ex-Senator, now
Judge Jackson, and his brother, Gen. W.
II. Jackson, entered the President’s car
and welcomed the party. The President,
Mr-. Cleveland and Col. Lamont entered
the carriage of Gen. Jackson. The other
■combers of the party proceded quartered with the
train to Nashville, and were at
the Maxwell House, the guest of the
Nashville American.
Elaborate preparations were made for
the reception of President and Mrs.
Cleveland at the Kimball House, in At¬
lanta, Ga. Room 115 was used as a
dining-room. The first apartment is on
the first floor, and contains an elegant ta¬
ble and side-board and chairs, On the
sideboard are silver waiters and pitchers, goblets
nod beautiful cut-glass decanters,
and wine glasses. Here the President
and his wife, with friends, will dine while
in Atlanta. The bridal chamber has been
chosen as a sleeping apartment, The
furniture is mahogany and the tapestry is
red and gold. An old-fashioned fire¬
place is artistically arranged with mirrors
and tapestry. The chamber opens into a
small hallway, from which another door
opens to the double private parlors.
From the sleeping npartment and the par¬
lors to the private dining-room, it was
only a few steps down a balcony, and the
President can pass from one to the other

The parlors was a garden yellow-coated of flowers,
among which numbers of
songsters will warble. In the bed cham¬
ber the decorations were profuse, care be¬
ing taken to use no flowers that would
send forth poisonous odors during the
night. The floral decorations came from
Cincinnati. Not a piece of woodwork
was left uncovered. The mouldings,
frames, wainscotting and window-sills
were completely covered wi h festoons of
smilax and flowers. A round the long
mirrors which decorate the wall were gar¬
lands of smilax, above which were two
flags, whose folds were caught back
