I.anaaaae.
. DUBLIN'. Sept. 8. (Specclal.) Great
preparations are being made In the Irtish
uw.'ti peninsula In County Donegal, for the
I Arl rush which Is confidently expected to
take place when the working of the mines
v. Iiich have recently beeiv opened there be
gins. It Is predicted that Inlshowen will
i'.,rnlRli one of the richest goldflelds In the
world, but while this Is probably an exag-
r. r:t!on, thre Is ho doubt that there is
gold in considerable quantities In Donegal
About a year ago James Johnston of Bel-
' faHt. a mining engineer, who has had large
experience In America, satisfied himself
thin there was gold in workable quantities
;i Um?gal nnd he obtained a long lease
cf U.fiOO acres from the earl of Shaftesbury
vhu owns most of the peninsula. He then
went to America and a company with a
, ca; 1:h1 of 31.0000,000 was incorporated In Ne
vada to work the Donegal goldflelds. Mr.
Juhnnton, however, has only parted with
six of his 1-1,0 10 acres, and Is reserving the
' re.t for tiie rush which he expects will fol
low. At prssent It Is . stated about 4.000
. tons of pay ore have been exposed and it
, U said that the value of the gold and lead
contained In it works out at $24.42 a ton. It
also contains silver in appreciable quanti
ties, while In other parts of the country
there are said to be extremely valuable
lion deposits.
Whatever the result of the present mln
tr, boom may be. there is no doubt that
the one'ent Irish obtained gold from Done
ial. Traces of the old workings have been
found -and Donegal has been particularly
r! .; In finds of ancient , gold ornaments,
v. :.l(h it Is believed were made from native

Consolidation, of Protestants.
An exceedingly interesting development
in !:!s;i r.l.glous life is a strong movement
t -v atv.a reunion of the Disestablished (An
tr.iutn) Church of Ireland and the Presby
ti-.-!an church. These two are the. only Im
iM.::ant bodies of Protestants In Ireland
una together they Include quit to per cent
oi.t.ie Iilhh Protestant. .Several confer
i.:uci have been held between leaders of
L.uiCiit .,n both sides and tt is stated the
l o'nts of divergence are very few and such
as tun be easily overcome. The Anglican
:u:rcli In Ireland Is very "low," which
mmis lliut tt Is free from the ritualistic
tendencies so prevalent In England, and
'.hero Is no real difference of doctrine be
tween the two bodies. The great point of
Ul:ftrnc Is the episcopal form of church
government as opposed to government by
uui me interesting annual ceremony of
conirromlse might be arrived at by which
the bishop and prebyters would share in
the government, the bishop taking the place
ot a permanent chairman of the presby
tery. u is also said that the Anglicans
ar willing to recognise the validity of the
I'restiyterian ordination by prebyters on
the theory that the descent from Episcopal

IuikI la unbroken.
ine einn feiners have suffered a defeat
i me meeting of the Newry Board of
Guardians In their effort to have the let
ters "(J. H. M. S."-"On His Majesty
Service" removed from the envelopes of
tne board s official communications. The
Sinn Feiners desired to have the letters
"O. T. P. S." "On the People s Service"
substituted, but the board rejected the
preposition.
In the ireantlme the language revival,
or which the Sinn Feiners are doing sri
much, gave another evidence of its vitality
last week. The Dublin corporation decided
that all Its public notices should be printed
In Irish as well as' in English, and that
all Its official publications should be
bilingual.
Finn MrConll's Remarks.
An Interesting American "fake" of thirty-two
years ago is recalled by the dis
covery in a London railway warehouse of
the remains of an Irish giant, which have
been rtposlrg there awaiting an owner for
that period. The giant Is. of course, the
"petrified remains" f Finn McCoull, who,
every good Irishman knows, built the
Giant's Causeway. He Is twelve feet tall
and weighs three tons, and on close Inves
tigation he stems to be made of the best
red sandstone. He was discovered buried
In County Antrim thirty-two years ago by
an enterprising American stonecutter named
Dyer, who had first carved him and planted
Mm, and for a time he created a great sen
sntitm In the dime museums In' Belfast.
Then his origin become known snd interest
in him waned. Dyer sold him to a show
man named Kershaw, who sent him to
Louden, but became a bankrupt before he
ituiu c;ain mm, ana Finn McLoull has
h: en awaiting an owner all these years.
fa lord mayor of Cork has Just carried
m t the Interesting annual ceremony o
:1 rowing the dart." the origin of which
la wiapped in obscurity, although it la
t ..wn that it goes back as far as the
1 T, nlh invasion. The dart Is a carved bog
o-.k arrow bearing the name of the lord

There la a curious coincidence connected
aith the death a few day ago of Mr. 13.
II. Ennls. the assistant under secretary for
Ireland, who was- killed by being thrown
from a jaunting car. All bis life Mr. Ennls
had a horror of jaunting cars, which he
considered tha most dangerous typo of ve
hicle, and whenever It was possible he al
ways used a hansom cab or four-wheeled
carriage, lie frequently attended race
meetings and on these occasions his cab
or carriage was often the only vehicle of
its kind to be seen on the ground. On the
day of his death he waa In a great hurry
to reach his office and as no safer vehicle
was available he conquered his feellags
and hired a Jaunting car. with the reault

Activity of canvassing boards Friday and
Saturday resulted yesterday in the receipt

cratic ticket and a much larger number on
democratic governor and congressmen. The

ing his lead over Dahlman for democratic

ties In northwest Nebraska not yet re
ported.
Yesterday corrected returns from Douglas
county swelled Dahlman's majority about
400 votes, bnt at the same time the vote
from Harlan- county was received, where
Shallenbenger's home folks gave him
majority of about 800 over Dahlman, dem
ocratic Platte county came In with a 800
majority for Bhallenberger and the chances
of Dahlman looked very slim.

CITY TRACTION GRANT SUIT
Cleveland Municipal Railway Com
pany is Attached.
MANY IRREGULARITIES ALLEGED
Ctiarge Made by Taxpayer Property
la Being- Managed for , Pri
vate Gain by City
Officials.
CLEVELAND, O., Sept. 6.-8ult was filed
In commcn pleas court today by James K.
Faresey, taxpayer, asking that the security
grant of the Cleveland Railway company
be declared null and void nVd the lease of
the property to the Municipal . Traction
company be set aside. ' Fraud and financial
interest by city officials are named as a
basis for the ault.- The petition declsres
that the Municipal Traction company is a
fraud upon the city and its tax payers,
without legal or financial responsibility,
and wholly and solely controlled and dom
inated by Tom L. Johnson, mayor of Cleve
land. It Is further declared that the franchise
grant is a fraud because It provided a
higher rate of fare than had been offered
by the Cleveland Electric Railway com
pany of seven tickets for 25 cents with
universal transfers. It Is alleged that the
public funds of the city were used to pro
mote the Interest of the 3-cent fare lines.
Five hundred thousand dollars Is named
as the sum so used.
Inadequate Rental Charged.
It is charged that the West Side pump
ing station, valued at 11.500,000, was leased
to the Forest City company at an Inade
quate rental, and that land adjoining was
purchased at a cost of KW.000 out of tha
water works funds, and Is now being used
by the railway company.
Of the organisation of the Municipal
Traction company. It is charged that the
original directors of the company were
selected by the mayor, and that they were
at the time of their election mere tools and
puppets of the mayor, agreeing with him
that all that should b-a done In the opera
tion of the company should be In further
ance of his scheme and plan to control
the street railway system.
Tt t charred that prior to April 27, last
when the security grant waa passed "by
the city council, the Municipal Traction
company and Forest City Railway company
were creditors and depositors in tne ue
posltors Savings and Trust company of
which Johnson was president, ana vice
Mayor Lapp and Counctlmen Zlnner, Han-
ratty and Henry stockholders.
Financial Benefit Received.
It is charged that these four knew that
if the Foreat City property was sold to the
Cleveland Railway company and the prop
erty of the latter leased to the Municipal
Traction company, the atock of Jonnson
Lapp, Zlnner, Hanratty and Henry would
be made more valuable and they would be
financially benefitted. It Is declared that
these men had the financial Interest In
alght when three of them voted for the
security grant, and Lapp signed It as vice
mayor. Johnstm having purposely conspired
to go outside the city limits while Lapp
signed the ordinance, thereby endeavoring
to avoid the financial Interest charge. The
petition further asks hat a receiver be
appointed to take charge of the property
of the Municipal Traction company which,
it declares. Is utterly Insolvent, having
liabilities vastly in excess of assets, and
that the same be administered in the inter
ests of the city of Cleveland.

LINCOLN, Sept. 6. (Special.)
Shocked by the two tragic deaths In Lin
coln last night and Inspired by the belief
that the 7 o'clock cloeing rule Is not
promoting morality as rapidly aa Its
friends believed, the Excise board will
meet Monday for the purpose of adopt
ing more stringent rules governing the
liquor business.
Since the saloons are compelled to cloee
at 7 o'clock each evening it has been the
practice of persona who desire a drink
to buy the same before that hour and.
If living at a hotel, having the same sent
to their rooms. The board Intends to at
tempt to put a stop to that and It Is now
figuring on making a rule whereby liquor
cannot be t aken to rooms at hotels.
Just how it can prevent a person from
taking his beer to his room the board has
not yet announced, but by overawing the
hotelkeepera the board expects to ma
terlally lessen the practice.
Those who opposed the 7 o'clock clos
ing rule are pointing to the two tragic
deaths last night as an effect of the rule,
a sthe parties implicated In both deaths
were drinking, and in the case of the
Savoy hotel death the liquor, had been
taken to the room before the closing
hour. These people contend the 7 o'clock
closing order has not reduced the sale of
liquor, but on the other hand it has In
creased it and has promoted drinking.
Inquests at Lincoln.
The coroner's Inquest over the remains
of Ted Barnhouse, whose body was fount!
in the Savoy hotel last night with a bul
let ole through the heart, waa held this
afternoon at 3 o'clock. The stories of the
two girls and the man who were with
Barnhouse when the fata! shut was fired
have been compared by the police and
are believed to be correct. Grace Groves,
the young woman with Barnhouse, de
dared, he had repeatedly stated he was
short in his accounts with the Gooch
Brokerage company at Adams. Neb., to
the amount of $9620. and he Intended to
kill himself to keep out of the pentten
tlary. While the woman was hunting for
his gun to prevent suicide, be shot him
self as he lay on the bed.
W. A. Wllley, who killed Joe Watklns,
a hack driver, lost night, today declared
he did not know he had killed the man
He Insisted that Watklns took the revolver
from his holster, and in the- struggle to
retain It the revolver was discharged, and
Wllley ran away, ignorant of Its effect.

tion end personal rights leagues made

YOUNGSTOWN. O.. Sept. S. Two
formidable political projectiles fired from
heavy republican guns went screaming
away In the direction of Lincoln, Neb.,
today and the republican campaign in Ohio
was declared formally underway. Through
the smoke could be seen the gunners.
Governor Hughes of New York and Senator
A. J. Beveridge of Indl:ma. Another shell,
fired by Governor Harris of Ohio, disap
peared in the direction of Cincinnati, the
home of Judge Harmon, democratic candi
date for governor of the state, but a frag
ment of It seemed bound for the sun
parlor at Falrvlew.
Along the rust-red waters of the Ma
honing river today the great mills of the
Carnegie works of the United States Steel
corporation, the Republican Iron and Steel
company, and the Youngstown Sheet and
Tuba company were quiet, for a three-day .
holiday had been declared, Including Sun
day and Labor day. Youngstown .la a
steel town, and the brawn and muscle of
her chief Industry formed the body of tha
parade which preceded ti.e discharge ot
the heavy political ordnance.
There was an Immense crowd at Wlclt
park when Governor Harrla, following an
Introductory apeech by Arthur I. Vorys.
began the oration with an address dealing
largely with the liquor question In Ohio,
which has become an Important state Issue.
Governor Hughes followed and the speak
ing closed with the address of Senator
Beveridge, both devoting themselves
strictly to questions ot the national cam
paign. Hughes Sounds Keynote.
The words of Governor Hughes, "The
army oppoalng us cannot pass muster
either as one of defense or ot salvation,
and we may well pause before we permit
It. despite Us boast of fidelity, to garrison
our national Institutions," was the keynote
of the meeting.
Governor Hughes started with a brief
eulogy, of Mr. Taft, sketched the success
of republican rule for the last twelve years
with high praise for the reforms of the
Roosevelt administration, dwelling on the.
creation of the bureau ot corporations and
the passage of the railroad rate bill, tha
pure food bill, the meat Inspection bill,
the employers' liability bill and othera.
Speaking of the fact that the new presi
dent probably would have the appointment
of four Justices of the supreme court of
the United States, he alluded to Mr. Taft'a
high standing as a Jurist and hla wide
knowledge of the bench and bar from
which such appointments, of the highest
Importance, must be made. Governor
Hughes contrasted the candidates, dis
cussed elecUon laws, the tariff, criticised
Mr. Bryan's scheme for guaranteeing bank
deposits, disparaged his remarks for
monopolistic abuses snd Insisted that labor
had no truer friend that Mr. Taft and tha
republican party.
Beveridge Emphaalaea Tariff.
As the governor lorcefully brought out
his points he was loudly cheered. The
ovation which had greeted him waa re
peated when Senator Beveridge arose.
'We are midway In a historic movement
for righteousness written Into law," said
the senator, "Stuill that movement be
carried out, or wrecked?"
He declared that ot the work remaining
to be done by the republican party, revision
of the tariff cornea first. He said the re
publican Idea Is to meet other commercial
nations with their own weapons. He
favored an adequate navy, for, he said,
Mr. Bryan's Idea of a navy only lainn
enough to protect our own Kiire meant
the abandonment of the Monroe doctrine.
That doctrine was as nothing, he declared,
without ships to make It respected. Con
trasting Mr. Bryan and Mr. Taft, the
speaker said:
"Mr. Bryan haa never handled a single
foreign problem, ho had governed no
Philippines, regenerated no Cuba, built no
canal, avoided no alien danger, saved up
from no threatened peril. In demoesllo
affslrs, Mr. Bryan has written not one law,
administered not a single department, ad
vised no president while lecturing! all. He
is a preacher of righteousness, but not sn
administrator ot affairs. Mr. Bryan Is
an Aaron, not a Moses; a Henry, but not a
Washington; a Wendell Phillips, but nut
an Abraham Lincoln."
Youngstown was profusely decorated
with the national colors when the boom of
cannon In the public aquare announced tho
arrival of th distinguished speakers of tha
day. The latter In carriages, participated
in the parade, which ultimately brought
them to the magnificent grove of oaka
called Wick park. The crowd, mostly In
uniforms worn during the parade, packed
closed around I he speakers' standard and
was liberal with its applause.
