ofalfalrsln Helfast Is mostsatlsfaptorj. The
laborers have resumed work all through

Of course the Island men stopped ready to

jumped nt the man and at oneo foieu.il
him back through tlio troops. A
mounted officer Immediately rode up
nnd ordered the man to bo nricsted.
( Julio na altercation spinng up between the
otllccrnnd a pi lest , who refused to illovv the
limn to bo nnested. The police , who were
nil Catholics , p'nlnlj hesitated to obej the
olllcerns against the priest who , for some
reason , was pugnacious. The result was
that the pi hut led the man away nmld loud
chccis on tliu part of the Orangemen. The
limn was afterwards arrested , but too late to
efface the Impression that had been nindu of
the
r V.VOUITISM OP TIII : poucn
and of their subjection to tlio priests. If the
man had been piomptly anestcd nnd carrii d
to Jail In the sight of thu Orancomen , theio
would have been cheois by them forMoilej's
murderers , as tlio police nre called. The
Iilsh constabulary are n splendid bodv of
men , but they have been thoioughlj demoi-
ali/cd all tliioiigh the riots. Thej have hied
single shots only where vollejs would
have finally ended the tiouble. Thov
have then deltveied vollo.vs when the
tire was useless. Tlielrhumlliating position ,
now that Shank Hill is suiiounded by
tioopj and thej aie unable to move without
an escort , shows vvi etched judgment on tlio
pint of some one because It is a total suncii-
dei to the mob. It Is alieady seen that this
Burrondei has piobibly lost many lives.
When the authorities have been foi CPU to re-

The man named Kipier , a Protestant mar
ried to a Catholic wife , w i's tried to-dti > for
alleged shooting thioii0'h windows. The evi

spirit. The old man , hardly able to stand , was
morallj convicted of hav Ing shot lepeatedlj
at people of his own talth , while hlsdaugh-
teishccm to have londcd the gun which ho
used. A seaich In his bick yard icvoaled a
hole in which dead bodies or arms had been
bulled , although these were not found , as the
authoiitles did not search iho jaid until
tvventj-four hours nttcr a newspaper man
! iad pointed out the location. KIdence
was given of the use of the
hole as n burial place. A
Protestant who testified against Napiei was
forced nt oneo to leave his house in the
Catholic quarter. In tact the town has been
full of moving people both today and > es-

scene from the Northwestern train between
Fort llovvaid and Oconto Is a desolate one.
A week or so since the land was thickly
wooded up to thellueof the railroad. Now
Iheio is not ix llv ing tree left standing. Last
Monday the IHmes swept down throu li this
couutrj , licking up bnish nnd dead trees nn it
killing live ones which vveie too green to
burn. A week of dr > weather put these now
dead trees In better olmpo to make food for
the llames , which during the last few days
have lei the second tlmo this season swept
the woods. Hundreds of acres aio laid
waste , thotiecsljliujpiostiate on the bed of
ashes wined covers the ground. Kvrry puff
of wind that blows fans up the llamo from
these smoldeilng tiunks , which will burn for
a month unless u lie ivy rain extinguishes thu
lire In them. A stuno throw n at randon In a
broad Held ol fray ashes sends up n
shower of spaiks , and the high tempcraturo
shows that Iheeij giound Is on lire. The
singular thine about these foiest fires Is their
tenacity. Farmeissay that even after the
heavy lain , which has put out the lircs In the

found it on Ilio to the depth of two Inches. 1

county are all ablae , and , di led up by the
Hist tire , are now burning like tindei. A
tlamlng brand Is caught mi by the wind ami
hulled Into a hitheito untouched patch of
wood. It liessmouldeilngfoi u few minutes ,
then a tin ) tlamebtvals up a small dead sa ] -

thiough the air into the Minonmllnc
branches with n crackle and a roar. The
llames shoot up In a broad bull , scl/lni ; on

a blast turmce. 'Hie more they bum the
more lieice the > become , and tiom a spark an

'Ihe damage so far will , in Hiown county
alone , aggregate neatly SK,000 ? ! ( ) , and It
will cost the relief committee in the neigh
borhood of S-10,000 to help the sulfercis , who
have lost not only their homes nnd pioperty ,
but also their means of subsistence for the

ot ere i tliu : houses lor the sufferers , finnlsh-

ono paragraph In that dispatch : "Secictary
Hnjard's demand fortho release of Cutting ,
on tliocinund tint ho was charged with an

on the admission of Minister Romeio that
Ids government claimed authority to

mistake has been made as to the notion ol

again thiough the piess. Tim in in was

' 1 hero must bo something In the coustiuc-
tion ot the man's brain which made him
give utterance to Ids wild talk.
The mm loved notoriety , tint
wns all. Unoof the bust points made by
Foster In the afternoon was In substantially
the followinc language :
The pioseeution Hud gieat significance In
the publication in the Aibelteioltuiig of the
word "rube , " which they say means roCt ,
lieace. Now , when the police anlved on the
Havmarket Captain Ward said : "I com
mand jou In tlio nami ! ot the sttitoof llllnolB
todisper.se injacwbly. " To this Fielden , who
was speaklni : , nnsweied natuially enough :
"Why , eaiitaln , this is a iioiu eible meeting , "
or 'wo are peaceable-1 Now sliould tlio
Htato see auj thing so significant in this re
mark. The evidence shows that the meet
ing was pe.teeable , and 1 wa > hero It was
never Intended to bo otheivvlso. II
at that moment some one on Ills own
responsibility tlnew a bomb among the police ,
and that fact vvttiu now knovvii , tlio Word
"iuhc"oi Flelden's icmaik , "we aiopeaio-
able. " would then havu the n.ituial .signlli-
calico of meaning on thn lacu ot them. In-
stoul ot being , as tliu state Insibls , Kjnibols
of riot and bloodshed.
Fuithcr , alter enhirglng upon this feat mo
of the case and decl irlng that thu evidence ,
fell farshoit of prov inn that the Hajmniket
rioting had anj connection with the conspir
acy to attack tlio police , he devoted consider
aolcltimc to consideration ol the testimony ot
John Heiinett as opposed to that of Hnnj L.
Gllmei Heinett , Foster showed , had bie.ii
Interviewed bv the state. He had beeiihliown
nplctuieol Si hnaube.lt , and upon honestly
declaring that he tould not ieco nl/e It as
that ol tlio bomb tlnowei was allowed to uo.
Ho could nof-cive the btato as u witness
liennett swoie tilal the bomb was tluown
fiom a point fat enough from ttiiit fixed by
the pioseeution tooveitluow the theoiy based
on Gdmei's tfitnnmu that Spies lit the
fuse ol tne bomb nnd Hint thu bomb wns
tluown by bchnaubelt Irom the north of
Crane's alley. Who was to bo behoved
Hcmietl , w ho had been ov ei the ground suicu
the night of tlio ilot and taken careful meaH-
uieuiciits , and whoso ch.uattei had not snf-
feied from the investigations < it Capfalu
bchaack and his detectives , or ( llniei , who
swore bo L-llblv , who hid bieu iin-
p. ached bv n do/en witnesses and wl.o .

Whv was ho nlaced on tlio stamlwhen the
tiialwasln pie iiss' ' Hucause tlieio was : v
missing link. So Hatty L. ( Iilmei took tlio
stand and sud : "Kither than have the play
slop I'll tiiinlsh the missing link. " Foster
leviewedthp testimony ol dllmci pxhins-
tlvelj , denoiinied him as "a stupendous , a
roloss.il , a monumental lint , " anil tinning
towaid the defense said cxpicsslvulj : "It
the testimony of llanj ( illmoi is true. Au
gust Spies and Adolph Fischer must die. "
Fostei releired to the testimony ot In-
foimeis Waller and Sell er. They have
been given the choice of the rope and , i
written statement such as would servo the
pmposo of the piosccntioii. They , ol course ,
as any man would , chose the lesser of two
evils , and tiemblingl ) took the stand to
swuai away the lives ol lormci coiip.idoH.
"Ibav"said Fostpi , "and I not onlj say It
hero In the comt room , but on the xtieetand
eveiywheie , that as a la\\\ei . 1 am opposed
to such means. Let iustlee bu done tliough

dress with an eloquent -nul lloweij appeal to
the jury. He asked them not to commit an
act which thc.v would ic iet dining thoie-

Captain Ulack said he would piefer not to
