Terrible Accident Reported From Lon-
doa-Olner Foreign Naws Note*.
Dublin, January 18.—Exciting scenes were
witnessed today near Cahercoulish, county
Limerick, the occasion being the eviction of
Edmond O'Grady, a tenant on the Gabbett
estates. In formation was conveyed to O’Grady
that a force of 180 policemen and bailiffs, under
command of Captain Plankett, was coming to
evict him, and ho prepared to give them
warm reception. With the assistance of neigh
bors, he cut down trees and shrubbery with
which he barricaded the house. Thea O’Grady
and about twenty of his friends proceeded to
the upper story of the house, cut away the
staircase behind them and stationed themselves
at windows to await the coming of the enemy,
The evicting party soon arrived and stormed
the house with sledge hammers and bayonets.
Ladders were placed against the walls, up
which policemen and bailiffs swarmed,Jbafc the
defenders threw boiling water upon their as
sailants and hurled the ladders to tho gronud.
The attacking party advanced repeatedly
upon the house, and were as often repulsed,
the contest lasting fully threo hours. Ulti
mately a hole was cut in the uppor floor
through which some of the policemen crawled,
while others covered tho oconpauts of the
houso with rifles, threatening to fire if tho
slightest hostile movement was made.
Eviction was then effected, and several per*
sons were arrested. During the excitement
crowds of people gathered about tho houso and
cheered the defenders. For this display of
sympathy, they were ropcatedly charged *by
the police and vigorously clubbed. A num
ber of policemen and citizens were iqjured in
the affray.
Hundreds of horses aro employed on tho
Kingston estate in removing the effects of
tenants who have been served with writs of
ejectment. There is great excitement at Midi-
els town, and a large forco of police has been
drafted to preservo order.
Ur. Plankett, accompan..-.
had an interview today with
Kingston, and asked her to consider the terms
submitted by the tenants.
A sheriff and force of police from Givecdoro,
while on their way to evict tenants at
Bloody Fareland, county Donegal,
today, fonnd the road blocked with
immense granite boulders, and wero obliged to
proceed on foot. Tho blowing of horas and
ringing of bells brought together large crowds
•f peasants who threatened tho police with
violence. The police made a strategic move
around tho base of the mountain, by the sea
shore, but scouts on tho mountain top gave an
alarm, and the peasants, cheering, rushed down
the mountain side and blockoa the passago.
The constable threatened the crowd with
his baton. This was tho signal for a
shower of stones from the excited peasants.
A desperate fight ensued, in which five police
man were badly injured. A priest who was
present finally succeeded in calming tho peo
ple, and they allowed tho polico to procood. A
tenant named Gallagher was evicted, but for
various reasons tho police left tho other ten
ants undisturbed. In many cases they woro
unable to ideptify tho cottages from which
occupants were to be ejoeted. In the mean
time the peasants carried Gallagher book
to his homo, kindled a fire and rein
stated him. The priest then persuaded tho
people to allow tho police to retire. While tho
sheriff and his escort were on their way homo
masses of granite rolled down the mountain
side and the officers narrowly escaped ipjury.
Whether or not this was tho malicoas work of
peasants is unknown. While the fightiug was
going on two vessels off Bloody Fareland
stopped to watch the molee. A large number
of writs of ejectment havo been granted, but
it is expected that "no furthor attempt will bo
made to enforce them.
London, January 18.—A special correspond
ent at Glcnbeigh, county Kerry, who is inves
tigating the evictions on the Winn estates, tel
egraphs that ono hundred and fifty policomon
and Bailiffs started for Coomoshom, a wild and
almost inaccessible glen, to evict tho occupants
of niuo houses, only dwellings In the neighbor
hood. Tho peasantry learned of thei£approach
and removed tho usual means of crossing a
stream near the glen, and which was swollen by
the rccept storms. This delayed tho ©victors In
doing their work, as tho polico, rather than
wet their feet by fording tho stream, preferred
to make a long detour. Then tho peasantry
women, who rejoiced in tho trouble they had
caused tho polico and bailiffs, carried reporters
and others who were friendly to the tenants
across tho stream on their hacks. Tho polico,
with much difllculty, finally succeeded in
climbing the glen. Then with fixed bayonets,
they proceeded to the houses amid the gro.ius
of the people, and ordered tho houses to be va
cated. Several of them havo already been
emptied. The work of eviction is proceeding.
After the tenants leave, the houses are levelled
with crowbars. The burning of vacated dwel
lings has been abandoned, owing to govern
ment pressure on the landlords.
Dublin, January 20.—Maurice Murphy, ono
of the tenants evicted at Glcnbeigh, owns
twenty-seven cows and $300 in cash. This is
not a typical case, although it is believed that
all are able to pay their rents. A reporter, at
Glenbcigh, says:
“The people hero are better clothed and fed
than many in the south of Ireland. The land,
though poor, is better than on most estates.
The books show that rent has been greatly re
duced. Agent Roe says that thore were ar
rears of £fi,177 in May, 1880, which he hope
lessly tried to obtain, offering to cancel £5,312
and demanding only half of last year's rent.
Father Qailtcr wrote to General Buller that
he undertook to have the tenants carry this
agreement out and some paid Fhthcr Qa liter,

addressing the agent, craving to let the poor
people in again, after tha vindication of the
law, when, to my disgust, but not to my dia-
may, one of the crowd Is observed by me tak
ing notes.
‘The sheriff formally asks: ‘Have you the
rent?’ The trembling answer is: ‘My God!
How could I have tho whole rent, and such
a rent, on such a soil, and in such a year os
they share the fate of the evicted master: the
door is nailed and the Imposing army marches
on to the next holding, till every houso has
been visited and every soul sent forth.
“At this moment tnore is a downpour of rain
on that miserable furniture—on that poor bed
and bedding—and an old man, whose genera
tions have passed their simple lives in that
houso, is sitting on a stone outaido. with his
head buried in his hands, thinking of the
elghty-thrco years gone by. And are those
tenants to blame? No; it is on the records of
this parish that they were about the most sim
ple minded, hard working, honest and virtu
ous. Their only guilt is this—that an agree
ment with my Lord Gormnustown, some five
years ago, disfranchising them of any claim
under the land act of 1870, and involving an
intolerable riso of rent, together with tho com
mon misfortunes of tho country, these few
years past, aud this in particular—has left
them entirely unabie to pay the entire rent of
this year. Yes—entire rent. Tho half-year!
nine-tenths of the rent would not be accoptod.
Priests joined tho poor tenantry in
petitioning again and again. No
answer was given but 'Havo yon
the whole rent?' ‘Have you law expenses? If
not, out you go.’ Deliberately I say it, this
work may invite Russian nihilism in Ireland;
aud deliberately I ask the government, whom
they are to blame for this visitation? They
may smile at the distant visitor being threat
ened upon us, but there is a rapidity of thought
abroad, to which men wero not accustomed
twelvo months ago. At the time of tho fam
ine, tho people of Erris would not accept as a
gift, tho seed which was offered to them, for
tho purpose of cowing their land, fearing lest it
was a ruse on the part of the landlords, to ac
quire a right to the crops. At the samo terri
ble epoch, it was with the greatest difficulty,
that the starving population of Mayo
were induced to cat the Indian meal—
Peel’s brimstone, ns they called it—being per
suaded, that it was given to them, with the
sinister design of turning them black. These
instances speak for themselves, and illustrato
the condition of mind, to which these pour
creatures wero reduced, by harsh treatment
and habitual exaction. Everyone acquainted
with the Irish peasantry, can recall many sim
ilar examples of distrust.*’
The bisnop of Meath, speaking at a banquet
to the clergy and laity of the diocese, held in
8t. Mary's college. .Mullinger, said that he
never would stand by and look with compla
cency, or even patience, at tho rein and
desolation tlrnt landlords had brought upon
this part of tho country. Eviction can and
docs often take place, even where there is no
rent owing. Be hud been summoned to tbe
latostato trials as a witness, and was prepared
to give testimony to the facts that he had seen
with his own eyes. He had seen soven hun
dred people turned adrift on tho wide world hi
onc'day, or rather in two, for it took two days.
He had seen their houses leveled to tho ground
and demolished, while not a single person
inside these houses owed one farthing's rent, bat
one,and that one went round and encouraged tho
others not to poy their rents. But thoy did ,
nay them, and ho saw the crowbar brigade I
leveling the houses of honest men to tho
ground—houses that sheltered seven hundred
tiuman beings. He saw them como to one
place where there were in two houses fever
stricken victims, and the crowbar brigade re
fused to take them down. Death was very
busy there, and they were afraid of catching
the disease. But the exterminators were de
termined to carry out their work. They put a
winnowing sheet over these poor sick girls,
took tho roof from the house, and the extermi
nator told them to do it carefully, “for, u said
he, “I hate the bother of coronor’s Inquests.”
The house was leveled, and the next daw his

Affairs In Germany,
Berlin, January 10.—The progressists havo
issued a manifesto signed by Bamberger,
Bichtcr, Rickcrt, Schenk, Vershow am! others.
“We must make a stand,” they say, “to
maintain the foundation of the imperial con
stitution, especially universal secret suffrage.”
A conservative manifesto says: “That the
watchword of the struggle must be, 'No parlia
mentary army, but an imperial army.’ ”
Dublin, January 20.—Attcntiou has been
drawn to the fact that the French government
rial help from Liebknlcht. They have nomi
nated as candidates, Kayser in Halle, Geirtz in
Weimar, Reiselans in Erfurt, Bock ia Gotha,
Schumacher in Dortmnndc, Yollmar in Munich,
and Bcbel ill Hamburg.
Bexltn, January 20.—Emperor William to
day received a committee from tbe house of
tbe lanstag and repeatedly thanked them for
tbeir loyal and patriotic assurances. He said:
You may repeat publicly throughout the country
that I was deeply grieved by the vote of the reieh-
stag on the army bill, but you hare filled my heart
with balni. Wo have shown the necessity lor our
demands aud did not expect a refusal, because
the new measure tended to dismiss tho danger of
war.
Tho North German Gazette, Prince Bis
marck’s organ, speaking of the organization of
the Red Cross society, says tho army may
speedily demand its help.
A Terrible Accident*
London, January 18.—A frightful accident
happened here this evening. A Hebrew dramatic
club gavo an entertainment iu Princess street,
flpltalflolds, which was attended*, by
about 500 persons, mostly Jews. .Some
one in the gallery, for a Joke, shouted “fire,”
Tbefirns was immediately turned out at the me
ter and a terrible panic ensuod. Tho people rush
ed in a solid mass for the doors and a number were
trodden under foot. When the panic had subsided
it was foundtliat twelve women aud five youths
had been trampled to death iu the rush to, escape,
end many others injured.
The hall is a favorite resort for the Jews of
that part of London. Entertainments have
been given there every night for a long time
past. Last evening the placo was crowded.
The manager of tho Hebrew Dramatic club,
which was giving tho entertainment, was on
the stage when the panic began. Ho por-
ct ived at once that tnoro waa no good reason
for it, and did all in his power to allay the ex
citement, and to afford all psible facili tics for
tbe exit of the people. The hall has a num
ber of entrances, and he had them all thrown
wide open, and called on the people, when
they would uot remain, to divide and uso all
the doorways. But thoy paid uo attention to
him. The whole crowd, as if with one im
pulse, made for tho main entrance.
A man named Harris Goldborg says ho went
to the gallery of tho hall, nccompauied by his
wife and family. The play was a melodrama
called “Tho Spauish Gypsy Girl.” During tho
performance some boys, in order to obtain a
better view of the stage, climbed upon an ex
posed gas pipo fixed along tho wull. This
strained tlio pipe aud started aleak. Gold
berg placed his handkerchief over tho leak, and
some one shouted: “Turff off tho motor.”
This shout was raised simultaneously with a
cry of alarm from ono of the actors on tho
staj
shed
Then the peoplo iu tho gallery roso aud
headlong down tho stairs. Goldberg's
wire was torn away from him and trampled
to death. Ills {six-ycar-old son jumped from
tho heads of tho packed mass and escaped by
running over them. Tho managers aro not to
blame for tho disaster. Tho passage from tho
hall to the street entrance is ten feet wide
where tho struggle occurred, and the doors
swing both ways. There are savoral minor
exits from the gallery, three besido the stair
case. Tho disaster arose, not from crowding
tbe passage, but from tho frantic efforts of tho
peoplo in the gallery to forco their way down
tho crowded stairs. Men and women in front
were driven headlong into the psfcage, whore
they mot tho excited occupants of tho pit, and
there was a hopeless lock.

A Bit of History.
“Home Rule, or the Irish Land Qnestion,” is
the title of a very entertaining and instructive
little volume reprinted in this country by
Band, McNally & Co., of Chicago. It is a vol
ume of frets and arguments, and is written by
Ifr. Charles Higgins. Half a century ago tbe
popnlation ot Ireland was nine millions, now
ft u five millions, and this reduction has been
brought about by British oppression. The
number of absentee landlords is nearly three
thousand. As Mr. Fronde, the historian, says:
“England has kept Ireland poor and miserable
to prevent tbe people becoming trouble*)me.''
It is a scheme, however, which has failed to
produce the best results. Poverty and misery
have bred all torts of evils, ranging from dis
content and revolution. In Ireland, between
tne years 1841 and 1801, the crowbar wfis used
in demolishing 270,000 dwellings. These
dwellings were demolished tor the purpose of
evicting the tenants. During these years
1JW8.000 souls were thrown homeless on tbe
world. Here is an account of an eviction by
an eye witness:
"At twelve o'clock today, In the midst of a
drizzling rain, when every man’s lips arc busy

Berlin, January 22.—The now Gorman
ends of tbo second Berlin district met today
for the purpose of deciding on their action in
the coming election for a member of the rcich-
stag. Three thousand elector* attended. Il
was resolved to support Professor Virchow
against General Von Moltke as a candidate
licrr Richter, in a speech advocating this policy
raid he admitted that the personal merits of
General Von Moltke were supereminent, but
contended that it was not tho duty of electors
to provido that the military interests of the
empire should be strongly represented in the
reichstag, but rather to elect to tliat body thoso
who could and would defend the civil interests
of the peoplo, to the end that thore might be a
proper equalization of the civil and military
claims put forth. The views of eminent civil
ians should be recognizt * ’
one-aide military view.
“When tho duke of Weuini
Herr Richter, “utilized his military glory and
personal merits to override tho constitution of
England, Englishmen defiantly declared that
though he had been victorious in Spain and
at Waterloo, he should not bo victorious
against the people of England. In a llko man
ner General Van Moltke, though ho has been
victorious over Austria and over Franco,
should not be permitted to bo victorious against
the citizens of Berlin.”
Tho Guelph party in Hanover, publish a
manifesto, declaring that tho parties called
national, in agitating an immoderate increase
in the aimy, keep the country in perpetual
fear of war, and paralize all confidence in
tho future. Tho manifesto says: “It
is not upon great armies, but upon
those who, preserving the frith of their fa
thers, defend faithfully and fearlessly tho
rights of the jooplo, that we must roly for the
basis upon which to place the well-being of tho
nation.’’
The socialists met and decided to run a can
didate whenever there was a chince to ou.it a
conservative. Where no nationalist will stand
the party will support the liberal candidate.
As a prelude to their manife«to the socialists
have scattered broad cut a new year compli
ment, which la couched, says the Voss Gazette,
in terms moro violent than they
tvc-r hitherto attempted. Tho
manifesto urges the socialists to prosecute

and violence. The police tried to suppress the
manifesto, hot despite their effort* they found
that 40,COO copies of it had been distributed in
candidate for tho vacant throno. Efforts are
being made to Jnduco Russia to givo tho de
sired assurance. ItJ is proposed that a now
Bulgarian government, representing all parties,

Rising Fawn, Ga., January 17.—[Special.]—
! William Jackson, ono of tho negro convicts 1
cated at tho camp here, waa shot and killed
late yesterday evening while leading a mutiny
I of tho convict-!.
• A largo number of convicts aro located at
this place in Dade county, working at the im
mense iron mills belonging to Senator Brown
and others. For somo weeks Captain
Conner, who la in charge, has suspected that
Jim Holt, William Jackson aud others were
| planning an escape. He succeeded in getting
, satisfactory evidence that Holt, who is regard
ed as the most desperate convict at tho camp,
i was tho leader, ana he decided to punish him.
Holt refased to bo punished, and in an effort
to overcome him Holt stabbed Conner in tho
left shoulder, Inflicting quite a severe, though
not dangerous wound, which bled copiously,
Conner, with a viow to disable Holt, then shot
at him twice with a pistol. The first shot went
i wide of tli© mark and tho second just grszo
the elbow, merely cutting tho skin. By this
; time Conner found that he was so weak from
loss of blood that ho was physically enable to
inflict the punishment.
This occurred on the outside ot tho main
building, where all tho convicts were securely
locked. Tho friends and co-conspirators of
Holt, who were in tho building, became very
much excited, and for a timo
A GENERAL MUTINY WAS THREATENED.
They absolutely refused to go on tho building
chain, and during tho whole
night many of them wero walking about in
the building, and using profano language, and
declaring that they would under no circum
stances submit to punishment. Friday at fen
o'clock, they returned to work, but finding
Conner was unable to iufiict punishment, and
knowing that no oue else could do it, many of
them began idling and were quito insolent.
This state of aflhirs continued until Sunday
when Win. Jackson, figuring os tho leader in
keeping up tho strife, going from gang to gang
of the men during Friday and Saturday,
urging them to esntinue tlicir insubordination,
Ills influence was so effectual and pernicious
that it was thought advisaldo to reinovo him
from the building and put him in a separate
building. Jackson wns ordered out but refused
to come, saying ho would die first, and threat
ening to kill any ono who attempted to re
move him. Late in tho evening Connor sta
tioned somo guards at the door of the build
ing and, accompanied by two trusties, entered
the building aud
ATTEMPTED TO REMOVE JACKSON.
Jackson at once drew a knife, and bei
cutting af everyone who approached him. 3
mediately tilings becamo squally. Several of
tho convicts took sides with Jackson, hurlini
bottles and other missiles at tho guards am
trusties. Ono of tho guards was slightly
wonnded, and oue of tho trusties hau his
clothes cut. At this stage the exeitement be
came intense, and several of tbe Jacksou crowd
seized Keenan, a trusty, wfio wns trying to
dimm Jackson,with the intention of wreaking
their vcngcanco on him, when ono of tho
guards at tho door, divining their intention,
nud seeing Jackson furiously brandishing his
knife, shot at him, evidently with a view of
disabling him, and shot him in tho arm. An
aitcry was severed, and ho died, This subdued
tbe others.
Today tii .„_ , , ,
coroners jury found tho killing justifiable in
quelling tho mutiny. Somo of tho leaders
have been punished. Everything is uow quiet,
and no further troublo Is apprehended.
What Colonel Tower* Told,
Colonel To wow was visited in his offleo and
furnished the reporter with the following facts
concerning tho mutiny:
On Sunday evening tho governor dispatched
Mr. Sbubrick, assistant keeper of tho peniten
tiary, to the arena of action, and yesterday the
following telegram was received from him:
JUhisti Fawn, Ga., January 17.-Governor Gor
don: .Mutiny broke out afresh yesterday. Ono
