FIGHTING FOR THE LOVE OF GOD. JTalkH AVIth an Orange Leader on the JtloiH nnil Tliolr Hcsults Kaiuptc Cases of the Outrages. At the Orange Htreingholel. HRI.KABT , August 12. ( New York Herald Cable Special to the 11 KK ] Belfast has hael another day of perfect pence , rather , per haps , because the rioters have exhausted their funds and are forecel to worker starve than lor any lessening ot thu hatred between the paities. By common-consent botlt Catholics and Protestants nro hiisbaneling their ie- sources and ammunition lor what Is oxpecteel to bo a gicnt strutrgle. The Catholic anniversary of the feast of the Assumption occurs next Sunday. I had long talks to-day with some of the leaders , who say that they Will not permit the slightest approval to a Catholic proces sion on that day. Some show no hesitation In threatening to kill any Catholic cauglit riding In carriages then , or who in any wav celebrate the day. The Catholic leaders promise to use every etfort to prevent a proce&slon or other irritating display. Neither side expects a renewal of the rlotlnc uuvil Sun day. Keplaclng the police in the Shank Hill Protestant district when the troops were withdrawn is considered one of THU MOSTTIIIinATENlNO FKATU1IHS of the situation at present No police are allowed lo patrol the Shank Hill road. The men are confined In barracks there sur rounded by police nleht and day. Relief attachments are always escorted by troops. Such Is the danger to which the police are exposed In the Protestant quarters that the magistrates do not elaro to order them to servo the "early closing" order to the public houses there. Consequently quently throughout the Shank Hill road dis trict the saloons are open , while all the saloons - loons in the Catholic quarters are closed. 1 saw to-day Mrs. Pearson , of McDonald street , wliose husband. William , was shot on Tues day and will bo burled to-morrow. I found the usual \VAKEINPIiOOnr.SS. \ The pcoplo In the room 'were greatly ex cited and anxious to explain to the Ameri cans how outrageous It Is for an inoffensive man to bo killed while attending the funeral of n friend. Pearson's brother Henry works at the Barl-er mills , Patterson , N. J. To-day I examined into the case of Sarah Young , n Protestant girl living off the old lodge roael and who lias relatives of the same name living at an unknown address in New York city. The case will SKIIVi : AS A. SAMPI.K of many similar ones. She and four com panions were returning lioine trom work at s. Lindsay's factory. They were compelled to pass through the Catholle streets of Peter's Hill , aud passing every day became known as Protestants. After work hours they walked in their ordinary manner through the Catholic quarters and saw a little child who shouted "Orango" and called them by vile names as they ap proached. Immediately from every house a 'cro\yd of half-grown boys and girls rushed upon them. Three of Sarah's companions saw a woman standing by a door whom they knew , because they had stopped several times'to-praise ami posslp about her baby. They rushed to her and Implored her TO SA.VK TIIKin I.I VES. The woman took them in and hid them. The little girl who acted as leaeler followed Sarah and her other companions. It is worth 'mentioning that the party of three were es corted out of the Catholic district just In time to save themselves , as their Dtir- sners returned after beating Sarah Young , and wrecked the house in which they had taken refuge as a punishment to the owner for having helped Protestants. The crowd found Sarah and her companion up stairs In a house in which they had taken rcfueo without the consent of the owne-r. To get at them they smashed the doors and dragged them both down stairs by the hair. The Catholic elrls threw Sarah .down In the road , toro off part ot her clothes , blackened her eyes , toro out her hair , anel otherwise abused her until several men in terfered and saved her. She has since been con lined to her bed and her Ufa Is dls- paired of. The crowd afterward gutted the house In which she had taken refuge , and then returned to attack the house of the woman who had saved her three compan ions. This is n fair sample of the spirit shown on both sides , with merely a change of names and thu addition of various details Eucli as throwing scalding water , kicks ant blows , with paving stones used as ham iiicrs. It will as well represent one hundred other cases of attack ! by pcoplo of cither religion upon dotencdles * mill girls of the other faith. In every sucl case the cnlldren and women prove the mos merciless. A I'llOTESTANT MINISTKIt TALKS. This afternoon 1 asked the Itov. Dr. Han nn , a Protestant clergyman well known as ni Orange leader , why the Proles tants ajjow the regular ovenlni parade of the Orange workmen rcturnliij Irom thu Inland. He said : "This parade wil perhaps souw tlmo provoke rioting , but It I necessary for the protection of the workmen who must necessarily pass uightl ; through the Belfast Catholic slums which surround the Protestant dia trtcts of Shank Hill , old lodg ruad , etc. Before the workmen walked horn In a body they were Incessantly attackci with stoucs and bottles thrown over th houses fronting North street , Peter's Hill As the police always refused to arrest th stone throwers wo were forced to march tc gether in self-defense. THE I'WKSTfi AND TI1K JIIOTIIIIS. "The Catholic priests have been able , pci haps , to look after the rioting more closol than our clergy , because they live near th center of dUtmbance , while our clergy Hv far away. Our cleigy , however , have al way done their best to repress disorder. I hav several times prevented tno police fror lirlng on the rioters whom I persuade to disperse. It Is true , the saloons of Shan Hill uro not closed In the evening , but the are owned by Catholics , who take advantag of the U'chnlaUtty duo to the Inability of th pollen to serve Iho notice of the closing ordc In this district. It is said that Call ollc houses In Protestant qua : tcrs hava been wrecked whll Protestant houses In the Catholic quartet have not been harmed. This Is duo to th fact that the houses attacked arc saloons , sui posed to bo renters of 'ribbon1 loelges. Th freedom of Protestant houses from Injury I hgnxtcredit to tha priests.

" The facts may bo that the clergy are unable to exercise the same intlucncc overOraiiBO rioters that the priests exert over the Catho lics , nor have the clergy shown the same tireless energy in patrolling the disturbed districts which has nrailo the priests so imicii liked by all'.maslstrates. ' MANY ItKf.ATIVKS IX XJ'.W YOUR , Widow Strain , whoso son was burled yes terday , proves to have many relatives near New York , among them n son , David Strain , a mason at 49 Kast One Hundred andTwelfth fitrrct , New York , and Key. Hugh Strain , Pennlngton seminary , Now Jersey. Attempts arc now being made to repress the wild window tiring which has inado many streets unsafe.to both friends and foes of residents. Searches for arms nro also threatened on n large scale , but are hardly likely to bo carried out , as being ted diuigcr- ous at tills time. AMONtl Tlin WOUNDED , 1 find n considerable number or fper- sons who liavo relatives in the UnlteJ States , and especially Is this so among the Catholic ? . As the Belfast police regularly bring up for trial all persons who have been mentioned in the papers as suffering trom gunshot wounds during the distmbcd peace , the hospitals and private physicians have combined to prevent the publication of the names of the wounded. Americans anxious about their friends in Belfast will be rcas- suicd to know that comparatively few of the wounds are of n dangerous type ; also , that a great majority of the wounded have no near relatives in America. 1 saw , to-day , a great number of persons , mainly women , suffering irom attacks made upon them while return ing from work. I found the following who have relatives In America : Mrs. Cosgrovo and a daughter , aged nineteen , who were badly beaten by a crowd of Protestant men and women while returning from a linen mill. Neither Is dangerously hurt , but both had been savagely attacked with sticks and stones. They ha\o a biother and two sisters in St. Louis. Cotter ( married ) , Davis , a carpenter ; Kleley , n publican , and a man named McCiiilgon were among these who were beaten by the Protestants at the Island works. McGulgon was anxious that a brother in New York should know that ho had only a couple of ribs broken and that his face was smashed. I saw also a Mrs. Dovilyn anil the widow of n man who was shot by the police recently. Ho has just been burled. Ills daughter is Mrs. Hughes of No. SJ Kansas street , Chicago. A boy' named Glllan Is among the cases of persons severely beaten on thulr way home trom n brick yard , wli'irc they worked. Ho Is now recovering. tilllan has a brother named Daly at 823Third street. S.m Francisco. A Mls Becton was s-cand- ously treated by a party of Protestant girls while she was returning from her work at a linen factory. They jumped on her , kicked her , stripped oil her clothes and cut her head with her own scissors. She Is now recovering from her Injuries , She has relatives named GII- lesploand Prltclmrd In Boston. Another Miss Cosgroves was badly beaten on her way from work by a crowd of Protestant men and women. She had some cousins who arc servants In Now York. The saddest case of all Is that of the widow Strain , who was solely dependent on her sou Robert , a Pro testant He was shot without warning or reason by the police. Ho Had arranged to take his -mother to New York , where he worked previously , and was just on the point of sailing when ho was shot while stepping ficross tho'strect to meet a-frlend. The hor- ors as regards attacks upon work girls and other inoffensive work people were pretty equdlly divided between the Protestants and Catholics. Doth sides have shown the ut- nest brutality to women and boys as well as to men. AN INTKHVinW WITH A MAOTSTnATK. To-day I had an Interview with a Protest ant magistrate of many years scivico in Bel fast. In spite of his religion and social posi tion lie said : "I regard the Protestants as entirely In the wrong in this rioting. The lathollcs have done their utmost to keep the peace , and to prevent the exasperation of the Orangemen. The priests , at great personal risk , and by much exertion have kept the pcoplo from resenting insults.and night after night priests have watched until daylight the dangerous points , using the full Influence of the church to prevent outbreaks , and oven arresting rioters themselves , when necessary. The Protestant clergy have not do no this , and have made no effort to keeip the Protest ants quiet ; on the contrary the clergy have walked In processions and funerals , thus keeping up tno bad feeling. Look at to-day's funerals. The Catholics had only half a dozen mourners and took n route through the back streets In order to avoid giving cause for fresh rioting. The Protestants had a reg ular orange walca with great crowds of mourners , two ministers passing through tito most dangerous part of the Catholic district , as if In bravado. The wholc.troublo has been caused by a system of borough magistrates , which permits men saturated with local pre judices , to try criminals , and also Impede the action of the police when quick and sharp action is necessary. There are only eleven Catholic magistrates , as nsalnst thirty-live Protestants. As the majority of the board de cides the punishment awarded the C\tliollcf : have been out-voted. I have seen mnzlstratef frequently deal out punishment according ta the street on which a criminal lives leu slill- lines to 0110 ; six months to another. The rloiti were largely caused by the Orange re turn to the days of the old policemen , when the whole ferro was com posed ot Orangemen L think this wrong. I. think the Catholic re quest for the abolition of unpaid magistrates and the substitution of paid judges , rcspon slbio only to the crown and free from local and business prejudices , Is perfectly proper. This would likely do away with one greai source of chafing between the two religious , The Protestants would then depend letn upoi their friends on the bench , and Catholic ; would lose their sense ot Injustice. Itlihil thut If the Catholics were let alone they would not trouble the Orangemen in tin least. " ITS KFFECT ON TIUPE. The riots liavo been so entirely confined t < certain poitious ot Belfast , such as along tin Shnnk Hill aud Grosvenoi loads , that tbi general trade ot the city has bcnn less af fccted than may bu expected , Many tourists however , avoid the city. TherIs also a con slderublo loss In the usual traao of thy couu try customers , who are now afraid to come t < the city.

THE TORY PJJAN. Comments on Premier Salisbury's Turtle Soup Speed ] . LoNnoNAug 12,4a. in. [ New 1'oik Herald Jable Special to the Br.E.l The Post coui incnting on Lord Salisbury's banquet speech , draws this fine distinction : "Coercion In the xceptloual sense of the word ho does hint at Coercion In the sense of enforcing the ordinary law and denying an illegitimate scope to agitation is in strict accord with the mandate with which the government maj fairly claim to have received from the country. " The Telegraph thinks that Salisbury's de claration about Ireland seems to Imply thai both as regards the extentlon of local gov ernment and the amendment of the lam' aws the Irish peonlo could afford to wait and that there was really not a very prcsslnj. question demanding instant trcatnicn beyond the question of securing the libcrt : of the individual. The Times rejoices that Lord Salisbury sees his duty in restoring social order ir Ireland more clearly than ho saw It a yeai ago. The Times interprets the plirase 'restoration ' of social order , " as the deliver- auco of classes and Individuals in Irelaiie from the restraints on their lawful liberty The Dally News says the Irish member ! cannot be expected to acquiesce in his pollco of mere negation and defiance. The Newt defines his phrase "want of social order" a : meaning "want of moro soldiers , mori police , more sailors and more hangmen. ' The only effect of such doctrines upoi Irishmen , " adds the News , "so far as it i not of one more exasperation , will bo t ( convert them from homo rulora into re pealers. " MUTUALLiY HONORED.

[ Special Tel egram to the Ur.n.j The announcement this ifternoon of the appointment of Colonel W. ' 1. Merrill as postmaster in place of John leckwlth , suspended , came like n tlrundcr- clap , to the great surprise of all. While no- htng Is said itc.ilnst Mr. Merrltt , who Is n gentleman of high character , the appoint- uent is a llagranl violation of the first princi ples of civil service reform. Mr. Bcckwlth Is elving his second term as postmaster , but us grown up In the postal service , having iiitcrcd thu olllci ! as mailing clerk over wenty years ago. Uy fidelity and strict at- cntlon to business ho rose tluouirh thu suc cessive grades to deputy postmaster , and lually was appointed postmaster by Pros- ! lent Hayes. Ho rose by sheer merit from lie lowest grade of the service to the highest , aud became , In consequence , one of the most capable and efficient postmasters In tliecoun- ry. Under his management tills ofllec ranked second in the United States In the relative proportion of its net earnings , which are larger now than those of any two other offices In Iowa combined. Mr. llcckwlth has alien no part In politics and has had no other business , having given his whole time o the work of the postolllce , so that lie would > o regarded as the Ideal of honest civil ser vice reformers , lint the local democrats uxvo been very clamorus for the oflice , and lavonaggea Mr. Cleveland till lie has con sented to a change. Colonel Merritt belongs to the old-timers , laving held a federal lauel ollico at Fort Dodge under Huchaiinn. He has no special justness , but Is a man of some little means , whoso chief services to his party have been rendered by presiding at political meetings as a dignified and impressive liguro head. The disappointed democrats are very mad at ds appointment. One of the leaders of the youni ; democracy is reported as saying to night : "If Mr. Cleveland Is going to au- point such old moss backs , then 1 know fifty young men who are through working for the party. " Sioux City's Sonsatton. Sioux CITV , la. , August 12. [ SpecialTele gram to the Bii.J : : Thu investigation of the murder of Uev. George 0. Haddock is just now lu statu quo. It has been discovered that Dr. U. E. ConnilT , deputy coroner , luXs no power to act In tne capacity of coroner , which ho lias been doing ail the time since the murder. The statutes of the stale mak ing no provision for the office of deputy cor oner , Dr. Conniff would have no powcf to compel anyone to attend the inquest either as a juror or witness , and hence , now that the question lias been raised by one of the papers of the city , nothing more Is being done and the investigation is awaiting the return of Coroner Waterman. Dr. Conniff was seen by the Bnn reporter to-day anel states that he has acted in good faith throughout the in vestigation tftfy that his appointment was made In good faith and accepted in tho-samo spirit and approved by the board of super visors. In answer to a question as to why the jury does not report , he staled that the voidlct was withheld upon the advice of At torney General Baker , Hon. M. D. O'Con- nell and the district attorney , A mass meeting of citizens was held at the court house to-night' to give expression con cerning the assassination of Itov. Mr. Had dock. The call was signed by a very large number of leading business men of the cltv who believe it to bo the duty of all good citi zens to obey the laws of thu.state and the pro tection of public sentiment should bo guaran teed all agencies legally employed in the en forcement of law. The interest manifested at the meeting was remarkable anel. sugges tive. The enforcement of prohibitory law in Sioux City was thoroughly discussed. It baa been evident since the- murder of Mr. Had dock that the salejons would bo closed. Itis not a litth * singular while but teu days ago a majority of citizens would have nothing to do wirh the question , so tew are now sound who are not outspoken and ready , in fact , to act on thu side of'prohibition. A committee on resolutions presented a betltion to bo circu lated through thu city pledging the city to the enforcement of the prohibitory law and the contribution of many anel assistance to bring this about. That thu closing of saloons in Sioux City will DO a fact seems now to bo the work of only a short time. Shutting Up Saloons. Sioux CITY , la. , August 12.
