WASHINGTON , D. C , , May = .
A personal friend of Captain William M.
Meredith , of Chicago , claims to have ro-
colvcd a telegram from him In which ho says
ho will arnvo in Washington on Monday ,
nnd will take Immediate charge of the bu
reau of engraving nnd printing. If this re
port Is true , and Captain Meredith Is nomi
nated chief of the bureau of engraving nnd
printing , It Is thought Mr. Palmer will not
to given the public printing. The public
printer nnd the chief of the bureau of engraving -
graving nnd printing , have almost an unlim
ited amount of patronage which is of such a
nature as to make these offices very deslrn-
blc to not only the Individual candidates , butte
to the congressional delegations from the
various states. There are no other depart
ments or bureaus where the constituents and
working politicians can bo BO well taken care
of ns In thcso two bureaus. For this reason ,
It is argued by these well Informed on the
subject , that It will bo Impracticable for the
president to glvo Illinois the public printer
nnd chief of engraving and printing. The re
publican members of the Illinois delegation ,
now in Washington , say , however
that such an argument is untenable , and do
not believe the mere fact that Illinois Is given
ono olllco will necessarily handicnp'hcr to
considerable extent In thn fight for the
other. The friends of the aspirants for the
public ; prlntorshlp ns well as the men who
have the welfare of the administration are
urging upon General Harrison the extreme
necessity of taking prompt action in making
the appointment to that office. They are
daily laying before him criticisms of Mr.
Uencdlct's business methods , with n view to
allowing the president how detrimental It Is
to the republican party and the public ser
vice to keep such a man in so important u
uosltion. The president's attention was
called W the fact that Benedict is now en
gaged In making contracts for supplies for
the next fiscal year , and that thu warehouses
nnd storerooms of thopriutingofllco will soon
bo refilled with material selected by Bono-
diet' , which may not be satisfactory to his
successor , and ns the suppllesnow being eon-
true ted for nro not to bo used until after
July 1 , the president is urged to make the
change at once.
A SENSATIONAL INCIDENT.
There was a sensational incident In the
cafe at the Klcgs house , last evening , which
has not .vet found its way into the local pa
pers. Colonel Timothy Qulnn. who com-
mandei1 the First New Yonc Lincoln cav
alry , was seated at ono of tbo tables with
Mr. Murphy , ox-chlof clerk of the pension
office , when General Black entered. * Mr.
Qulnn is connected with the pension office ,
and General Black , during his term , tried to
degrade him. General Black went over to
the table occupied by tbo two gentlemen and
extended his hand to greet them. Mr. Qulnn
refused to take his baud , and told General
Black very frankly ho considered him beneath -
neath his notice , nnd said that he wanted
nothing to do with him. Ho told him ,
further , that ho did not want to renew the
acquaintance , and General Black must not sit
down at the table. The valiant ox-commis
sioner's lip quivered , but ho said not n word ,
but loft the room. The waiters in the cnfo
gathered about the disputants , nnd , evi
dently , expected something more. General
Black's friends , who heard of the Incident ,
think that there will bo a resort to the code ,
while Mr. Qtilnn's friends think that ho
served General Black exactly as ho de
served. Both eontleinen are members of the
military order of the Loyal Legion.
CALLINO A HALT.
A verbal order has boon issued by Post-
encral Wanamakcr which prohibits
changes in fourth-class offices , unless for in-
competency or bad management , unless the
incumbents were appointed two or thrco
years ago. It was suggested by the demand
for thu appointment of republicans to suc
ceed republicans who were appointed n few
months ago under thu Cleveland administra
tion. Men In congress have been asking to
have republicans appointed under the late
administration removed that more active re
publicans could bo given positions , and the
postmaster-general thought he would put a
stop to this by refusing action except In rare
Instances. The order does not glvo satisfac
tion to nctlvo republicans. They contend
that by a trick a largo number of democrats
last winter resigned nnd secured the appoint
ment of Inoffensive partisan republicans.
The scheme was to hold the now appointees
In the positions. The old postmasters , In
going out , invariably sell tholr furniture to
the now postmasters. Now the active re
publicans refuse to abldo by thcso democratic
trades , and are demanding that thu men who
were active participants in the recent cam
paign shall bo given the places. There is
quito a lopping oft of appointments at the
postofilco department in consequence
of this order. The number of ap
pointments made to-day , however ,
was much greater than yesterday. Post
master-General Wnnntnakor says that ho
was induced to direct a stop in thn changes
of postmasters appointed during the past
year , by learning , when It was too Into , that
a lot of republicans had boon removed un
wittingly. When there Is n demand for n
ulmngo , now it is only necessary to look nt
the date ot the appointment .of the present
Incumbent , In order that the first assistant
postmaster-general may make an Immediate
unswcr.
OOIIMAN'S ami' .
Maryland republicans complain bitterly
that Senator Gorman , by the "lino Itallun"
processes so notorious to him , has been able
to secure for his brother , Calvin , anew lease
of life In the position of inspector of customs
nt Baltimore. Republican representatives ,
McComas nnd Mudd. of Maryland , are very
Indignant that their efforts to secure the
senator's brother's dismissal have proved of
DO avail ,
NKW 11ULB3 XECDKI ) .
The most serious question now before tha
republican members of the Fifty-first congress -
gross relates to the change of rules which
must bo made to govern the house of repre
sentatives. There is no question that if the
committee on rules is not entirely abolished
the house's prerogatives will bo so greatly
curtailed that it will bo only a committee in
nnmo. The committee has arrogated to Itself -
self so much power that U had absolute con
trol over thu action of the house in the lust
two congresses , and it was found that the
hands of everybody were tied. U Is now
proposed thai such rules shall bo adopted ns
will make U Impossible for any member of
the minority to create or maintain a' dead
lock , and at the same tlmo the rules must
not bo o framed an to make it possible for a
baru majority to change the standing rules ,
as the republican majority will bo too close
to untnlt of anything venturesome.
Thu democrats have already given notice
that they intend to resist with all their
power the republican proposition to recce-
uizo ttio power of the ballot in thu south ,
and to keep men not entitled to their scats
out. H th''ro is the slightest loophole the
rinuiocratij will Institute a deadlock at
Old dOUet iilul bioi | lirdcocdllies for
months. They have proposed to defeat the
adoption of the direct tax bill. They will
nlso in the second session of the Fifty-first
congress filibuster ugalnst legislation to
curry Into effect the rcapportlonmunt of con
gress under the eleventh census , All thcso
things must be guarded against. Instead of
junking it possible for u bara majority to
change the rules nt any tlmo , after It ireU n
favorable report from the committee or.
xulcs , It la proposed that only the rules
desired by thu majority shall bo adopted , and
that it eliu'.l ncccstnnly have a veto ot two-
thirds of the members of the house in order
to change the rules. There will bo a long
nnd heated struggle nt tno beginning ot the
session In October or December over the
adoption of n sot of rules , nnd It may bo that
the democrats will , under the present rules ,
inaugurate n deadlock which may last for
months. They nro In bad blood.
THE SILVER COIXAOB QUESTION.
UcpreRcntatlves from some ot the silver
states nnd territories have been around the
treasury nnd the white house , during the
past two weeks , feeling the pulse of the men
In power ns to the sentiment In favor nf frco
silver coinage. The subject was discussed
with great earnestness In the Forty-elirhth
nnd Forty-nlnth congresses , but It had llttlo
show In the last congress. It has boon
argued that it would bo Just tin sensible to
establish mints whore bars of iron , tin , cop
per and other metals could bo taken , and ,
under a standard set up by law , molded
Into bars representing so much money , as to
permit this to bo done with silver. The ad
vocates of free coinage argue that , slncojsll-
ver nnd gold nro the lawful money standards
of this country nnd the world , these who
have the crude material should bo permitted
to take It to the United States mints , and , on
the principle of having wheat or corn ground
nt the mill , have It made Into money nt n
certain cost , which will cover the expense of
minting. At the treasury department it Is
argued that there is not n dollar's wortli of
silver In u silver dollar , nnd if free coinage
is established , It will bo necessary to rocoln
nil of the silver in existence , and that this
will cost millions of monov and no ono will
bo benolltted. The object of the pcoplo from
the silver states nnd territories in demand
ing free coinage is to elevate the silver mar
ket and more firmly establish the silver
basis. While It Is reported that President
Harrison nnd Secretary Wljidom look with a
degree of favor upon the free coinage pro
jects , there Is no reason to bollevo that the
Fifty-first congress will authorizes free coin
age , as the snmo old arguments uro used
against it with renewed vigor.
"A HEAL MEAN OI.T ) TIUNO. "
Senator Allison has , according to to-day's
Post , gotten himself Into u snarl with some
ladles who wanted to take a "congressional
junket. " The Post says :
"Wo don't wish to throw this country into
a convulsion of alarm , out wo have just boon
Informed by n prominent Washington lady
that a dreadful thing has happened and that
our esteemed compatriot , Senator Allison.
Is in very great danger of being called 'n real
mean old thing.1 As the Btorj comes to us ,
some of the senators composing thu Hoar
committee , which is on its way west tor the
purpose of investigating our relations with
Canada , proposed that they make the trip n
pleasure excursion ns well us a business
journey , by taking their wives and daughters
along. This was noised around among the
senators' families , and the ladles were , it is
said , rejoiced. "When the matter came to the
ears of Senator Allison he , as our fair un
fortunate tolls us , vetoed the plan and de
clined to add _ the ladies to the party. Now
wo were not'present when Senator Allison
did this nnd wo don't ' know any more about
the case than wo nave told hero , save and
except that the senator is u very handsome
widower who has not heretofore been a spec
ial object of disfavor among the Washington
ladles , but who now appears to stand in im
minent danger of being called , as wn have
said , 'a real mean old thing.1"
IIAllltlSON CALLS ON 1ILAINE.
President Harrison called upon Secretary
Blaluo at the Normandy to-day. Thnso who
saw the presldcntlgolup the stairway two steps
at a time were led to believe that there was
nothing slow about the chief executive and
no defects in his health. The president
walked up to the hotel alone and spent some
time with his secretary of state. Mr. Blalno
hopes to bo at his desk on Saturday or Mon
day.

Crowds In the Chlcnuo Court nt tlio
Carter Cnse.
CIIICAOO , May 2. | Special Telegram to
Tun BEr.,1 The sensational nature of the
testimony adduced nt the Carter trial , yes
terday , drew nn unusually largo crowd to
Judeo Jamison's court to-day. When the
bailiff opened the door there was n battle for
admission and the jam was as bad ns that on
the Lake Front , Tuesday night , only the
crowd was not so largo ; It was quite as savage -
ago , however. Had it boon proper to have
charged an admission to a court room the
bailiffs could have realized several thousand
dollars for some charity by collecting asmall
sum from these who wanted to hear parts of
the testimony which the editors Imvo de
cided "unfit for nubllcatlon. "
A deposition was rood from Mrs. Knto
Gantlcy , who was employed as chambermaid
ut the Coopcrstown hotel , at the tlmo Mrs.
Carter was there. She saw Mrs. Carter
early ono evening in 1SS2 , drinking with n
gentleman out of it glass in which were two
straws. She thought it was Mr. Gregory.
Interest was quickly aroused when the
reading of thu deposition of Henry Craw
ford was begun. Crawford knows both par
ties to the suit. Ho saw Mrs. Carter nt the
Brunswick in Now York in April , 18S4. She
went into the room next to Mr. Crawford's
apartment and ho heard her volco In there
as well ns the voice of a man. This was
about 11:30 : o'clock at night. Mr. Crawford's
recollection of what Mrs. Carter said was
that she told the man she loved him truly
nnd that the letter which she then gave him
to read at his journey's ' end. would show
what her sentiments wcro to him. The man
seemed to bo anxious to say good evening ,
but she Implored him to stay a llttlo longer.
The next evening Mr. Crawford heard her
talking to n man whom she called "Dr. Gil
bert , " "Dr. Jim" and "Jim. " This was after
2 o'clock in the morning. She snld ,
among other things , that she loved him
better than any ono else on earth , and that
If ho said the word she would Wave her hus
band nnd child and take up with him. Mr.
Crawford's deposition went on to state that
Mrs. Carter nnd "Dr. Jim" had nnottier in
terview on the third evening. She asked
the doctor if ho didn't think her taste in
hosiery was good nnd renewed protestations
of lovo. The doctor asked her it she wasn't
afraid of the consequences. She replied that
she trusted in him to protect her good name.
Mrs. Carter wanted Dr. Gilbert to remain.
Ho thought it wouldn't bo wise , but she snld
that it would bo all right because ho was her
family physician. Mr. Crawford deposed
that nis wlfo wanted to ring up the ofllco ,
and call the clerk up to the room , to have
him stop the carryings on in the next room.
Mr. Crawford restrained her because ho didn't
want to precipitate a scandal.
Although Mrs. Carter already know the
nature of Crawford's deposition it had a bad
effect upon her to-day when she heard the
lawyer's clear volco toll again the fearful
story. True or false. It was an awful charge ,
and her face attested that she felt its effect.
Her face seemed to take on deeper lines , and
her lips grow dry and parched.
Tno afternoon session was occupied with
the reading of depositions regarding Mrs.
Carter's ' expenditures In Now York nnd
abroad. Ono of the depositions made by a
clerk of the Brunswick contradicted the
statement of Mr. Crawford as to the locations
ot rooms , and also gave the opinion of the
clerk that Crawford could hnvo not over
heard , from his room , the conversations
stated in the railroad lawyer's deposition.
ALMOST A RIOT.
Irish Patriots Refuse to Itldo to Jail
in n Prison Van.
DUIU.IN , May 2. The Tipperary court has
affirmed the sentence of four months each
Imprisonment imposed on John O'Connor '
and Thomas Condon , three months on Charles
Tanner and three months on Mr. Manning
for violation of the crimes act. All thcso
gentlemen are members of parliament. Mr.
Tanner and Messrs. O'Connor and Condon
were conveyed from Tipperary to Clonmol.
At the half way station at Clonmol they were
enthusiastically received by the people. The
prison van was waiting at the station to take
the three gentlemen to the jail. They re
fused to enter the vehicle , nnd a despcrato
struggle ensued. The crowd became frantic
and the police , in order to prevent a riot ,
finally allowed the prisoners , with the ex
ception of Dr. Tanner , to walk to the jail.
Dr. Tanner was severely injured during the
struggle , and was unable to walk.
Railway Mall Service.
WABHINOTON , May 2. General Superin
tendent Bell , of the railway mail service , in
reply to a question as to the number of
changes which were made in the service be
tween March 4 and May 1 , when the civil
service law was extended to it , said ho did
not know the exact number , and that ho had
made a change wherever ho could improve
the service. Ho added :
"In the making of appointments In the
railway mail service slnco I becair.o United
States general superintendent the course has
been , as far as possible , to weed out the in
competents and probationers nnd to bring
back these whoso records indicated
proficiency and who were removed
mainly because they were republicans.
I thlnlc that 00 per cent of the appointments
that have been made comprise thu class men
tioned , and of the remainder , the aim has
boon to select , from these who hnvo been
recommended , such ns are most likely to become -
como the most capable clerks after serving
the usual probationary term. After care
fully reviewing the force in connection with
the division superintendents , I feel confident
the service has , because of the changes , been
materially strengthened , and while I should
have been clad to have had more tlmo in
which to bring back more of the old high-
class men , I have no doubt but that which
has been done In the past few weeks will
speedily add to the efficiency of the service. "

AVliat a Reporter Saw.
CHICAGO , May 2. Coror.or Hertz nnd a
Jury , to-day , began an Investigation Into the
cuuso of the death ot Uobort Burns , a patient
In the insane asylum nt Jefferson. Attendants
Richardson , Crognn and Peolm , who nro
charged with boating Burns to death , were
present. The dead man's widow and her
brother testified that Burns was In good
health when ho was sent to the asylum , and
that the only abrasion on his body was ono
on his log , which had boon Injured. The
most damaging testimony was that of
Charles. Beck , a reporter , who successfully
played the Insanity dodge and was admitted
to the asylum , waoro ho was an eye witness
to much of the brutal treatment which re
duced Burns in ton days from a strong man
to a physical wreck , resulting In his death.
The story was ono of most revolting and
heartless cruelty. The witness detailed at
great length tlio repeated nets of brutality
which the thrco accused attendants indicted
on the unfortunate man. Ho declared the
patient was not unruly , but scorned dozed and
incapable of understanding what w.is wanted
of him. Beck told how. after tnolr arrival
nt the asylum , ho md Uurns were given a
cold bath and then UMs shivering In a cold
room for llfton minutes. After examination
Burns was ordered to sit on a bench. Ho
seemed not to understand and was violently
thrown on It. RisingIn a helpless way the
attendant , Hlchardson , kicked him heavily In
the abdomen. Burns again attempted to rise ,
when the brutality was repeated , Kichard-
son. Crogan and Pecha oachtaklngpartin it ,
kiuhinc and striking the helpless lunatic in
the side and stomach , and bruising his
face with their lists. They under
took to dress his wounded leg
jerking him about roughly and causing him
excruciating agony , meantime continuing
their blows. When the wounds worodressed
Crogan picked up ono of Burns' shoes and
strucic the unoffending patient over the head
with the heel of it , cutting n great gash. By
this tlmo the victim was in n , half uncon
scious condition. That mgnt Burns , not un
dressing promptly when ordered , was kicked
by Kiehardson in the abdomen and knocked
across the roam. This Is only a record of
ono day's brutality , which was kept up until
the man's death.
The reporter came out of the asylum nt the
end of ton days. He told , how , when friends
secured his release , Dr. Kiernan , superin
tendent of the asylum , shook his head
ominously and advised against it. Ho de
clared the reporter to bq incurably Insane :
that ho know this because ho had watched
the case very closely. Kiernan's chief of
stall concurred in this opinion.
A verdict was reached In short order by
the jury ilnding that Hlchardson and Crogan
caused Burns' death. The two men , and
also Pccha , are already under Indictment for
murder. There seems little doubt that Doc
tors Klornan ana SchUbprt also will have
Dills of goino sort presented against them by
the grand jury. Vji '

Foot Disease Among Cattle.
KEAKNEV , Nob. , May 3. [ Special Telegram -
gram to THE BEE. ] There arc reports of a
dangerous cattle disease among some ot the
animals on a ranch uboUt four miles south of
Gibbon. The feet of the animals drop off
after a short illness , 'it is said that about
twelve head of cattle have died within a few
weeks and a number of the animals are fall 11
suffering from the disease. Farmers In the
neighborhood are worrying to ascertain
whether the trouble Is contagious. The dis
ease is confined-so far , to ouo ranch. Ono
man talked with in regard to the matter ad
vanced the theory thai it was the result of
lack of care of the yard * in which the cattle
wcro kept during the winter. The yards
have not been changed ( or a number of years
and the accumulated filth , In which the cattle
tlo are compelled to stand , especially in wet
weather , it Is supposed- lots the foot aim
poisons the whole system of the animals.

BEE. | In 1603 , while Knox county was
under the old nnmu of L'Eauqui Court , and
before Its organization In 18U3 , a lot of ras
cals Issued county warrants , running into
the thousands of dollars. The county had
no continuous records until 1808-9 , and for
the past twenty years succeeding , commis
sioners have refused payment. A test case
has bsen brought against the county
to recover BOUIO of those warrants ,
and County Attorney Itlco has
for some tlmo been looking np
the law. It appears that a statute of 1S ( > 5
turned over tlio county records to the pro
bate judge , during which time this fraud
was perpetrated. In the , territorial la wet
1WJO , however , the south boundary line or
IVKau qui Court county was not delincd , and
by this omission It Is hoped that t'.io county
may cscapo the payment ! of these fraudulent

tlors had crossed'over to the reservation op
posite here , was verified yesterday by H. C.
Mur.ger , heading ft party of Wisconsin people
ple , who snld to TUB Urn correspondent that
his party was on the reservation and hoped
to remain , He claims that the throo-cor-
ncrcd strip north of the Niobrnra Is "No
Man's Land , " the bill admitting South Da
kota forming the southern boundary line on
the forty-third parallel , thus bringing this
strip of TOO.OOO acres into Nebraska , and
needing only the president's proclamation to
open It to settlement. Whether this party
will bo allowed to remain is to bo seen.
Many who have had their eyes turned to this
excellent country , really the best in the
whole Sioux reservation , are becoming fe
verish , and may yet go In n body and do-
nianil tholr rights. When the Snntco reser
vation was opened to sntt'umont ' In 1SS5 the
"squatters" who settled there prior to its
day of opening were the rccognlred settlers ,
and it led to much trouble. Hcmomborlng
this , there nro many who feel that the Inno
vation already made Is reason cnouuli to bo-
llovo that the manner of settlement on this
now reservation will bo repeated. As the
now country to bo opened is far superior to
the lands In the Santco reservation , the anx
iety of all interested cau easily bo Imag

PAWS , May 2. [ Now York Herald
Cable Special to THK BRE.I The speech
of Ferdinand Duvnl made at the royalist
banquet given at the Sallo Wagram on Wed
nesday evening In honor ot St. Philip , patron
saint of the Comtc do P.irls , has attracted
much attention. This Is duo principally to
the peculiar position Duval occupies In the
loyalist party. lie Is ono of the leaders ot
tno royalists who are opposed to the policy
adopted by the majority of the party in
rcirnrd to Boulnngism , and who hnsqoino out
most openly against an alliance with the
Boulanglsts. His speeches nnd articles pub
lished during the Paris electoral campaign
in January wcro uniformly hostile to the
candidacy of General Boulanger. Ferdinand
Duvnl was not absolutely free to
express his opinion concerning Houl-
nnglsui , nnd on Wednesday sharply
criticised the policy followed by the republi
cans. Ho protested energetically against n
state trial In progress before a souato exccp
tionnlly turned Into a high court of justice ,
and accused the government of bavlng de
prived the accused man of the right to bo
tried by national judges.
According to Duvnl , the republic Is defi
nitely condemned In the public opinion of
Franco as bolng unublu to assure the order
of the country , and as lacking In respect tor
the religious convictions of the citlzers. Ho
added a warm eulogy ot the monarchy ,
which , lie stild , had always given Franco a
regular government and free institutions , in
spite of nil crises. Ho expressed u firm con
viction that Franco would return to the
inonarchlal principle of which the Comto do
Paris was the solo representative. This was
the only moans of salvation open to Franco
and the French people , as it is only on this
common ground that the conservatives and
liberals can unite. For tills reason the royal
ists should make no sacrlllco of convictions
or of their hopes.
Such words must bo considered
as a dcllanco to the ullianco
between the monarchists and Boulanuists ,
for the latter are equally positive In the de
claration thatthoy nro republicans , and they
wish to maintain the republican form of
government In Franco. It would bo well lor
the French pcoplo to know whether the
royalists , whtlo clinging to their political
faith and reserving the right to vote for n
restoration of the ttirono whenever the pro
pitious hour presents itself , propose to con
tinue the compact with the Bouiangists by
means of a qnibblo on word revision , the
meaning of which they intend to dctlno
later on. Such , at least , uppoars to bo the
plan of campaign with n majority of the
party. Onlv the other day Paul Do Cassng-
nac defied them to present themselves at
the coming election with the watchword ,
"Vive La Hoi1 as their only platform. Ho
advised them not to display their flags too
openly , nnd it is probable that this couiftel
will bo followed. If the revisionist's coali
tion triumph at the next election it will still
remain to bo seen if it is a royalist who will
reap the fruits of the victory , and if the fol
lowers of the Comtc De Paris , who propose
to remain royalists no matter what may Imp-
pen , will bo in a position to secure a realiza
tion of their hopes.
The Continuation of His Exnminntlou
Before the Commission.
LONDON , May 2. The cross-oxnmination
of ParneU was continued before the Parnell
commission to-day. Parnell admitted that
Condon was connected with the Manchester
murders. Ho was chairman of the reception
committee at Washington. Witness had al
ways repudiated the dynamite and physi
cal 1'orco party in America , and denounced
them In the commons. Ho was not nwuro
that the Cincinnati Commercial-Gazette re
ported verbatim a speech ho made nt Cin
cinnati in which ho is said to have referred
to the severance of the last link between
Great Britain and Ireland , or that its report
was like that in tbo Irish World. Parnoll
admitted ho had not found fault with the
pabt action of the Invincibles. Ho quoted
from his speeches and the manifesto of IPS1 ,
dcnouncme the outrages nnd unconstitu
tional action by Irishmen. Parnoll said ho
had advocated the buying out of the land
lords in .Ireland nnd making the tenants the
owners of the land.
The cross-examination proceeded through
n mass of detail and was aimed to connect
him with the Fenians and also to show that
ho must have known of plots to commit mur
der. Nothing , however , was elicited from
the witness to show ho was In any way con
nected with the Fenians , or that ho had any
knowledge of any murderous conspiracies.
Attorney-General Webster cited the men-
aciug speeches made by W. Hcdmond.
Paruell listened to the attorney-general ,
and remarked that old heads
could not be put on young shoulders. Again
pressed by the counsel as to whether he had
ever denounced outrages , Parnoll read extracts -
tracts from speeches delivered by him In
J879 , such us :
"Let us remain within tlio law and the
constitution. "
"I hope the pcoplo will not attempt to im
itate the violent nnd illegal attitude of the
government. "
"Tho leacuo is peaceable nnd constitu
tional , nnd there is nothing behind It. "
Parnoll further said that In 1SSO ho dc-
notmced the shooting of agents ns unneces
sary and prejudicial , where there was a cult-
able league organization , but admitted that
such denunciation was insufficient to stop
such outrages. Ho denied that ho was re
sponsible for the violent articles which ap
peared In United Ireland , and said that
O'Brien had supreme control of that paper.

augmented the horror of the recent wreck
on the Grand Trunk railway. Ho also be
lieves many more people were killed than
reported. McKenzie went to the scene of
the wreck to look after the body of n rela
tive. Ho says the accident occurred
almost directly above the edge ol
thu canal. A line of men with
buckets could have brought plenty of
water to put out the flro In the wrecked cars.
The company's shops were only n few hun
dred feet away. Plenty of men might hava
been had to pull the wrecked cars apart and ,
to extinguish thu flames , but no such action
was taken , and tlio company did not oven
call out the Hamilton flro department. Me-
Kenzto says the Grand Trilnk heated the
cars In the train with the old fashioned coal
stoves , which had no protection and this ho
thinks accounts for the speedy burning ol
the train.

the Ih-ot witness was called , who gave evi
dence relative to the building In which
Selden was shot , to establish the accuracy of
a largo drawing of the same prepared by the
prosecution. A sensational development in
the case to-day was the arrest of George
Darrow , charged witli attempting to bribe a
witness named Boo no , whose evidence Is
likely to weigh heavily against ShefTcr.
Darrow was released from jail only a Tow
days ago , and , it is claimed , became very
intimate with Shelter while confined therein ,
When brought before the Judge to-day
Darrow admitted enough to seriously muro
Shelter's case. , and was remanded to jail to
await further inquiry. Shelter apparently
seemed terribly excited while the Judge quos-
tioncd Darrow. Ho turned palo and came
near fainting. The main witnesses lor the
prosecution will bo called to-morrow , and
some new and startling evidence is promised.
