BBJ of the day of course Is the divorce suit
BlB brought by William Henry O'Shoa against

BBJ respondent Captain O'Shoa gives his ad-
BBf dress us 221 Victoria street , Westminster ,
BIB Dm ! his occupation us justice of the peace ,
BIB County Clnro , Ireland The ground alleged
BBB by O'Shca Is the lundollty of his wife with
BBB Parncll at Eltham , York Terrace , Brighton
BBJS nnd Aldington
BBB According to an informant , Parnoll has
BBB lived for a considerable tlmo slnco 1880 at
BBB Eltham with Mrs O'Shca , and at this place
BBB both lived secluded lives O'Shoa has
B BP ubout the same reputation hero as in Amor-
BBV lta In both countries It has long been sup
BBb posed that ho ho3 long known of the Intl-
BBB roacy between bis wlfo and Parnoll , and
BBL also that Parncll found a scat for
BBB' ' O'Shea In parliament on account of the
BBb unremitting blindness'of O'Shca to the
BBb constant lnfldollty of Mrs OShca Amorl-
BBb cans will rcmombor how the Irish In Ireland
BBJ were on the point of revolt against Parnoll's
BBb loadorshlp wbcu ho Insisted that O'Shoa
BBB should bo given u scat la parliament Per
BBK haps because it will provo unusually annoy
BBJj ing at this Juncture , O'Shca ' has brought the
BBB suit O'Sbca lias a handsome quarter in
BBB Victoria street , where ho Uvea with his son
BBB Ho admitted tonight tbat the report that ho
BBB bad brought the suit was correct , but
BBB wondered how It had become public
BBB The news was that Mr O'Shoa bus brought
BBB suit for dlvorco , mailing Mr Parnoll co-
BBB , „ respondent , will not surprlso these who have
BBB been behind the scenes during the past tbrco
BBB or four years Soma such denouement as
BBB this has been Impending for a long tlmo past ,
BBBand on several occasions the good ofllccs of
BBB friends have been called into requisition
BBB with a view of averting the
BBB scandal Mr or Captain O'Shoa has
BBB threatened legal proceedings on sovcral
BBB occasions , and many of the followers of
BBB Parnoll bavo bcon aware of the fact , and it
BBB , has not tended to sweeten the intercourse
BBB between the Uncrowned King and his moro
BBj or less obedient subjects From tlmo to
BBf time , bowover , nn explosion has been smotha
BBl ercd or postponed , and If It is to como at
BBb length it is almost a matter of certainty that
BBB , some awkward revelations must talto place
BBB In the parliament of IS35 a well
BBB , dressed , somewhat showy-looking man
BBB made his appearance on the Irish
BBB _ _ _ iwnchos Ho generally ere a
BBB frock coat with a flower in the buttonhole ,
BBB and was altogether very unllko the careless ,
BBB somewhat slipshod group who usually rcp-
BBB resent the nationalists in the house , and who
BBB are meant for use rather than ornament
BBV Who was the stranger thus attired as for a
BBB bridal party It was Captain O'Shca , Ho
BBJ , had coveted the honor of a seat in parlla-
BE incnt , and Parnoll , boiug perhaps in an
BBB obliging humor Just then , had found ono for
BBB * * him , but it wus not done without difficulty
B& The constituency singled out for tbo honor
BBB had not at first sight taken very kindly
BBB to OShoa It had to bo coaxed , perhaps
BBB some prcssuro was brought to bear upon it
BBB Several of the Irish members protested
BBB against tbotr now colleague The redoubta-
BBJ bloTlm Ilouly was very wroth and made
BBB things very warm for OShoa Ho is a very
BBB ugly man to como across when ho is angry ,
BBB Is Tim Hcaly The scat , however , was so-
BBB cured and the now member made bis appear
BBBJ anco as full of pride and delight as a young
BBB lady nt bor first ball That was
BBB the opening of 0'Stioas parliamentary
BBB experience The close was not so
BBB pleasant , and It came a good deal sooner than
BBB the gallant captain had anticipated Ho did
BBB not lind htmsolt among very congenial sur-
BBB roundings ills countrymen did not taka
BBB him into tholr hearts and shed tears of Joy
BBB over him On the contrary , ho was treated
BBB to a very llboral nllowanco of [ cold shoulder ,
BBB and some very unkind remarks wcro made
BBB Id bis hearing wbon kho went into
BBBL tbo lobbies , Ho was uot outertainod
BBB ) with Dgrcoabto conversation Thcro wcro
BBBT frequent altercations to mar his com
BBB placenoy , and the great authority of the
BBBJ leader himself failed to protect his frlond
BBBj from usages which no ono need bo partlcu-
BBBJ larly anxious to encounter
BBBJ Ono day it was announced that O'Shca
BBBJ had resigned Why ! For the same reason
BBBJ that ho bad cntorcd parliament because ho
BBBJ wanted to Then O'Shoa made bis appear
BBBJ anco ns a wl'ness on the Parncll commission
BBBJ Great revelations wcro expected , but
BBB ] nothing very wonderful came It had boon
BBBJ rumored that the captain had obtained from
BBBJ bis wlfo letters gravely compromising Par
BBBJ ncll Whether such letters wore in oxlst-
BBBJ encanrnot , ltls Imposslblo to say At any
BBBJ rate , they were not printed before the thrco
BBBJ Judges Parnoll occasionally cast piercing
BBBJ glances at O'Shoa as ho gave bis evidence
BBBJ and the ox-M , P. calmly returned it
BBBJ Evidently there was no'lore lost between
BBBJ them The captains evidence fell flat
BBJ Somobow or otbr the gun bad missed Are
BBBJ And now a comedy or drama is to bo ad-
BBBJ vancod Into another act Tbo divorce suit
BBBJ must at least be a source of great annoyance
BBBJ to Parncll , to say nothing of the lady Will
BBB ) it bo dofondodl , That seems a curious quos
BBBJ tfon to ask about a dlvorco case , but the truth
BBBJ is , tbo wbolo affair Is very curious It has
BBBJ boon a thenio of conversation for several
BBBJ years The Eltham business has long been
BBBJ • talked off , Ono night a pleco of paper was
BBBJ picked up lu the lobby of the house of coui-
BBBJ mpns and opened by tbo finder It was
BBBJ from a lady to the Irish leader Some
BBBJ pcoplo said it was shown to Captain OShoa '
BBBJ However that may be , It was talked about
BBBJ In less than half an hour , but there may
BBBJ have been nothing in the bit
BBBJ of paper after all , or perhaps
BBBJ only an address or an invitation , yet such
BBBJ , incidents as this set people talking , and now
BBJ thej will tulk still moro Who is innocent
BBBJ and who Is guilty it would ba very rash In-
BBBJ deed to predict , but wo may expect to sco
BBBJ some of tho'nationalist papers speak out
BBBJ thalr minds freely about O'Shca now that
BBBJ he has east off all disguise ami entered
BBBJ boldly upon the warpath There will bo a
BBBJ smash , and the great Eltham mystery will

Llsboncrs from their beds and reminded
thorn most emphatically tbat today is ttio
acclamation day of the new king , Carlos I.
True , his majesty had assumed tbo crown
on the death of tbo late King Lewis , October
10 , but today the legality of his accession
had to bo confirmed In a word , it had
been sanctioned by the pubho and is a con
stitutional acclamation , hcuco today's ' care

The Portuguese nro fond of pageants and
arrange them with the greatest taste At 3 _
o'clock the actual business ot the day began
At that hour an extraordinary sitting of the
cortcs had been called , at which all the min
isters attended in uniform and all thn chief
officers ot state nnd the diplomatic corps
with their wives , in court costumes It may
easily bo Imagined that this formed a bril
liant nssomblago The num bcr or strangers
was low , owing to tbo limitation for space
For days the military had been arriving
from the provinces , nnd soldiers lined the
streets from AJuda pnlaco to the cortcs A
brilliant sight was the procession '
ot the royal carriages through
the ranks ot the soldiers , and all
the tlmo the guns kept bauging away and
the bolls from every church rang forth a Joy
ous wolcoino to the young king aud the beau
tiful queen of Portugal
On the arrival of their majesties at the
cortos they wcro received In the corridor of
the palace by a deputation of the legislative
chamber , which formed itself into a guard
of honor to conduct them into tbo cortcs
Besldo their majesties walked the patriarch
of Lisbon , the grand almoner , the master ot
the household , the gentlemen in wultingand
the adjutant of the klnir.all in brilliant court
costume There were also the ladles in
waiting to the queen in court dress
Then the gorgeous crimson cloth which
covcrod the throne was drawn back and revealed -
voaled two thrones , beautiful vtoiks of art ,
of cold and crimson , surrounded by the
royal crown of Portugal Their majesties
then mounted tbo dais and Don Carlos took
the royal scoptro banded l.im by the cham
berlain in waiting At the same time tbo
Bergeant-at-arms , It Alfonso , took a posi
tion next to the king , holding the tojal
sword aloft in front of the throne , wbcro
stood the ministry , headed by Senor Do Cas
tro Porsria Carta , real president of the
council , and Sunor Do Bairus Gomes , min
ister of foreign affairs , nnd the councillors
of state
Tbo president of the senate , supported by
two nobles of tbo highest rank , then ad
vanced and presented the king with the
Santos Evaugollos , with a cross placed upon
it , The king changed his sccptro over into
bis left band and , placing bis right on tbo
holy book mid cross , repeated in a loud , firm
voice the oath embodied in article 0 of the
constitution , as follows :
"I swonr to uphold the Catbollo apostollo
and Ho man religion , tbo Integrity of the
kingdom , to observe aud to cause to bo ob
served the political constitution of the Portuguese
tuguese nation and the ether laws of the
Kingdom , and to promote tbo general wclfaro
of the nation to the best of my ability "
Tbo oath having bcon taken and a.short
spocch made oy the king , the royal standard
bearnr unfurled the royal banner , a magnifi
cent specimen of workmanship
Tbo president of the senate , still standing
in front ot the king , then replied to Carlos
speech , and at its conclusion , raising his
volca and being Joined by all present , ho pronounced -
nouncod the acclamation , "To the very high
and powerful and most faithful king of Portugal
tugal , Carlos I. "
As soon as the echoes of the acclamation
bad ceased the standard bearer , with the
flowing banner , courtesylng , stepped on tbo
tribune erected betoro the center windows
of the palace of the cor tea , accompanied by
the king-at-arms , the bearers of the mace
and shields and the heralds Tlionco the
klng-at-arms cried out to tbo vast crowd of
pcoplo assembled below :
Attention I" Attention 1" Attention I"
and tbo standard bearer , raising his voice ,
said :
Royal , very powerful and most faithful
king , Don Carlos I. "
Tols formed the publio acclamation and at
the same moment the city throughout was
made aware that an boreditary sovereign
bad been elected by tbo acclamation of the
most democratic of European people the
Portuguese This was convoyed by royal
salutes from the forts and war ships in tbo

The leading feature ot tb'o discussion was
the practicoof watehouso ison buying grain
and storing it in their own elevators , thereby
enabling them to sell at lower rates than
regular traders on commission ;
Nearly every Important grain dealer in

elevator men were m a very small minority
The upshot of the proceedings was the
adoption of a resolution offered by W. J.
Pope condemning the advance in elevator
rates and demanding its revocation Tbo
directors of the board were Instructed to
investigate all oharges against the ware
housemen , aud where the accused were
found to have bought grain for handling in
their own elevators tbo rocolpts were to bo
declared not regular for delivery or con

The following statement , signed by ltobort
Aldricb , Mike Brown , George H. Bates ,
William McNab and Jamas A. Jenkins ,
some of the most prominent and Influential
cltlzons ot BarnVoll , has been Bent to the
Nuws and Courier In csplanntion ot the horrible
rible butchery of defenseless men nt that
pluco last night
"On the 30th of October last John II Hof-
fermanaproniincntyoung morchantnnd pub
lic spirited citizen , was shot down and killed
In Burnwoll by negroes Public indignation
ran very high Throats of lynching were
freely mndo , hut were diverted by cooler
counsel At the last term ot court the grand
Jury found true bills ngainst the murderers
nnd accessories , but the cases were contin
ued The wbito pcoplo were dlsappoiuted
nnd the negroes , it in thought , were embold
ened by this disposition of the mnttor On
Deoombor 19 James S. Brown , a
promlnont citizen of Fishpond township ,
was shot to death on his own
premises by negroes without the slightest
Justification or excuse The murderer has
not boon arrested On the ISth of December ,
whllo going from his store at Martins station
to bis house a mlle away , Bobort Martin , a
young man of high standing , was followed by
a negro and shot in the hearing of negroes
whoso houses were all urounl the spot where
ho was killed , and who admitted that thov
hoard the shot and his erlos nnd that none
of thom went to his relief and that none of
thom went to his body , although it lay In
the road all night nnd for several hours after
daylight in plain vloiv of them all
"It was satisfactorily established that his
murder was the result of a conspiracy to
rcmovo him In order that tholr licanso upon
the plautationof his fnthor might bo greater
The murderer , that is the negro who fired
the shot , and his accessories , six in number * ,

These Bsovcral brutal murders of promi
nent wh' .to men byjnogrocs caused a state of
indignation and resentment naiong our
people that can bo bettor Imagined than

overpowered the Jailor , took outtho six murderers -
dorers of Martin and the two slavers of Hot
formnn , took them to the limits of the cor
poration and shot thom to death "
This explanation of the causes which led to
the lynohing does not in the opinion of law
abiding cltlzons Justify the atrocious murder
of eight defenseless human beings The
greatest indignation is oxprosscd at the bru

Another Account
Ciuoaoo , Doc 23. The Chicago Times has
the following account from Columbia , S. C ,
of the lynching of eight negroes ut Barnwell
this morning :
Thrco hundred armed men with faces
masked surrouadod tbo Jail before daylight
this morning when the Inmates
were sleeping soundly , They moved
with caution and as an organized
body The Jailor was solzod and ovcrpow-
orod , bis keys taken from him and tbo heavy
doors unlocked , and before the eight negroes
sleeping within were awakened from sleep
their cells were filled with strange flgurcs
They were eoized and carried out into the
night , their cries for mercy , prayers and
curses alike unheeded by tbo silent execu
tioners The body ot mon is put in motion
and proceeds a quarter of a mlle and halts
in the outskirts of the town ; the olght un
fortunate wretches are secured , several
hundred shots fired and eight bodies lies on
the earth with blood running from hundreds
of wounds , literally torn to plccos
Such was the scene ot the terrible tragedy
enacted in the town of Barnwoll this morn
ing A most terrible retribution for n not
extraordinary offense , as the records will
provo
Four years ago five men were lynched In
Yorkvlllo for the brutal murder of a llttla
boy who caught them stealing But
they belonged to un organized gang whoso
members were sworn to kill wboovor caught
them stealing , and thay wcro beliovcd to
bavo committed several murders previously ,
Their conviction was uncertain and the
people took the law into their own hands
But the wholesale lynching of this morning Is
without parallel In the records of crlmo In this
state ami there was loss ground for the act
than probably for any lynching before It is
doubtful it tbo country can show a like rec
ord These olijht negroes wore charged with
committing and bolng accessory to tbo
crimes cbargod below :
On tbo afternoon of October 20 John G.
Hofforman was shot and Instantly killed 1 a
restaurant in the town of Barnwell
by Itiploy Johnston , Hefforman was ono
of the principal merohants of tbo town and
Johnston was a colored man employed at
that tlmo in running a gin shop , There bad
been some trouble between the whlto man
and the negro before and although there
were conflicting accounts as to the
difficulty It is probable that Hof
forman threatened tbo negro for be
bad been summoned to appear before
the town council the morning following and
bad been put under bonds The killing took
place in a colored restaurant Five negroes
charged with being accessories to tbo mur
der and who were in the restaurant at the
time , fled to tbo swamps but were afterwards
Jailed , A largo reward was offered tor
Johnston and bo was captured two weeks
later
Of the two murders for which tbo mon
were lynched this morning the worst was
committed on lost Saturday night , when
Kobcrt Martin , n joung man ot groit
promlso and ttio only child or his aged par
ents , was ambushed and shot to death
Whllo ruling to his fathers house
It was discovered that Martin had bcon shot
by .ipirty of negroes who worked on his
fathers place nnd whom ho kept pretty close
to tholr work and allowed llttla llconso It
was also bollovod the negroes In the liousos
near by know nil nbout It , and that was why
they would not go to tha assistance ot the
murdered man
At 4 o'clock this morning the Jnller was
called by some mon who Informed him they
wanted to lock up the murderer of Jnmos P.
Brown , killed last week by negroes Uo
opercd the heavy gnto nnd was Immodlately
ovoipowered und fifty mon entciod the Jail
and took out the prisoners They were
marched to the outskirts of the town and
bound to trees Mnsltod man then formed In
line a short distance from thorn mid poured
volley nftor vollov into the ni > groo ' bodies
They were literally shot to piece The filing
was the first intimation the pcoplo of the
town had of the trouble
