GovERNINQ IRELAND,
Zan' Churchill Adversely Criticises tite
Lead Goschen Dofnd It —
Speeches by Gladstone and }Parnell—
Crime in Kerry—Juries that Weal
convict -
A het (T,hursday) night's London cable
says : In the House of Commons this
evening, Lord Randolph Churchill, resum-
ing the debate on the latied Bill, objected
to Mr. Bannerman's amendment, that the
3311 be rejected only, as raising a false
USW. There was a general agreement, he
said, on the point that a Bill was abso-
lutely necessary to afford relief to the Irish
tenantry. It was a great mistake to im-
pute a want of good faith to the Govern-
ment in the proposals of the Bill. The
Government had been forced to offer a
temporary land measure before the session
closed, for no more odious duty could
devolve upon the Irish Government than to
administer the Crimes Act unaccompanied
by a measure which would satisfy the
tenantry. (Cries of hear, hear,) Proceed-
ing to examine the ols.uses of the Bill, he
supported Mr. Dillon's criticisms on the
restrictions of the lease -holders' clause,
which he hoped the Government would
amend. He did not see that the tenantry
would derive any benefit from the clause
dealing with evictions. (Parnellite cheers.)
He would fear to entrust Irish
agents, the advisers of the land-
lords, with the powers conferred
-upon them by that clause. (Cries of
"Oh" from the Conservative benches and
cheers.) What would have been the state
of Ireland if this clause had been in opera-
tion last winter? He did not doubt that
from one-quarterto one.half of the tenantry
would have been in a state of tumult and
disorder appalling to contemplate. It was
mot within the limit of physicalpossibilities
to deal with the clause this session. The
Bill must be lightened by throwing it over.
The bankruptcy clauses were equally ob-
jectionable, inasmuch as they would tend
to lower the moral tone of the tenantry be.
ides producing an immeasurable mass of
litigation. The Government, in view of the
large number of tenants who it was expected
would be forced into bankruptcy, seemed to
be trying to build up a system of national
credit on a widespread foundation of na-
tional insolvency. If the Government,with
the Irish members, would agree to deal
with arrears and a revision of the judicial
rents instead of the bankruptcy clauses, the
Bill would be deprived of its worst features
and would become acceptable to the country.
(Cheers.)
Sir William Harcourt congratulated Lord
Randolph on his clear exposition of the
defects of the Bill. If Lord Randolph's
speech led to a new development of the
Bill, the House would have no difficulty in
passing it. Lord Randolph had performed
a capital operation under chloroform upon
the measure, transforming its nature and
leaving the mere skeleton of the Bill. If
the Government assented, the House would
3aow try to put some decent clothing on the
skeleton. Let the Government throw over-
board the clauses that both Tories and
Liberals opposed, and the Bill going with-
out delay into committee would find an
easy passage.
Mr. Goschen, speaking in behalf of the
Government, said that while they would
not attempt to disguise the difficulty of
their task, they must refuse to buy a single
vote by making any concession against
their convictions. Dwelling upon the
temporary character of tho Bill, he said
the Government would do their lest to
meet the views of the gentlemen on the
other side with regard to the leaseholders'
clause. He boldly defended the eviction
clause. He defended the bankruptcy
clauses, and denied Lord Churchill's asser-
tion that the Government was trying to
found a system of national credit. He
oposed the plan for a revision of rents
advised by the Cowper Commission as fatal
to the coming land purchase measure.
Mr. Parnell said he thought Mr. Goschen
was looking rather to the enhanced value
of his property under his future Land Fur -
Chase Bill than to the interest of the Irish
tenants. Tbe Government proposed to
abolish evictions by executing them under
another name, with the object of getting
rid of the record of such transactions as
evictions. The attempt to bolster up the
judicial rents as the basis for purchase
would defeat its own end, because the land
would not be purchased on the judicial
basis. The present measure would simply
be regarded as a mcnument of stupidity
and inaptitude. A speedy revision of rents
was absolutely necessary.
Mr. Gladstone thought the debate had
been conducted with great ability. Pre -
/aiming that the Government maintained
an open mind with regard to the suggetions
made he thought it needless to press the
amendment to a division, but that the
House should be left at liberty to amend
and substantially improve the Bill. The
committee understood that if pressed to do
so, the Government were willingto drop
the bankruptcy clauses. Ho reminded the
House that those clauses constituted
what the Government had always put
forward as a prominent part of the
Bilk and that no substitute was proposed.
Assuming that Mr. Chamberlain intended
to press his amendments, Mr. Gladstone
called attention to and hailed his speech
with great satisfaction. There was no
reason to compel the Government to reject
the suggestion with regard to the revision
of judicial rents, and there was no appar-
ent disposition on the part of the House to
sustain the Government in rejecting the
proposals of the Cowper commission. The
Opposition had obtained a Vantageground
which they could not have anticipated a
week ago, and with the prospect of a still
further improvement ba the views with
which the MOaritir0 was regarded by the
other side of the House, he had hoped the
amendment would not bo pressed.
The amendment was negatived and the
13111 read a second time without diviaion.

1/lent have just reached here f rom Limerick.
Justice johnson presided at the assizes. It
seems that on the estate of the Earl of
Devon a sheriff, thirty constables and eight
bailiffs had evicted a tenant named
Halliman. There had been the
usual barricade of trees, timber and
rocks. Six men and three women—part
belonging to the family of the tenant and
the others being neighbors—were the resist-
ants and indicted. Evidence was given by
the bailiffs establishing beyond doubt the
identities of those of the accused who threw
boiling water and scalding porridge and
used pitchforks through the orifices made
by the besieging bailiffs. It was distinctly
shown that one prisoner thrust a red-hot
iron bar through one of the orifices, burn-
ing an emergency man. Local solicitors
appeared for the accused and watched the
case, but there was no barrister. Not a bit
of evidence for the defence was adduced,
and no address was made in favor of the
prisoners. Justice Johnson summed up
pointedly against the accused, but, after
some hours' deliberation, a majority of the
jurors favoring acquittal, they were dis-
charged, the judge roundly scolding the
unknown dissentients. Five men were
next tried for riotous conduct at another
eviction on the same estate. In this case,
however, some witnesses did testify against
the police, charging them with barbarity.
In a short time the jury acquitted the
accused, amid the cheers of the spectators.

TURNED THE HOSE ON THEM.
A Lively Battle Between Railroad Labor-
ers and the City Authorities at Youngs-
town, 0.
A Youngstown (0.) despatch says A
regular pitched battle between about fifty
Pittsburg & Western Railroad employees,
mostly Italians, on one side, and the whole
city police force, with twenty-five specials,
the City Engineer and Street Commission-
er's force, every member of the City Coun-
cil and Fire Department, under the lead-
ership of Marshal Williams, on the other,
took place at 1.30 yesterday afternoon.
Contractor Kelly, of the Pittsburg Bs
Western, had a construction train standing
across Mill street, making a roadbed
about three feet above its grade,
when the city forces at a given
signal, blown on the fire whistle, put
in an appearance, and two well directed
streams from three-inch nozzles soon
drowned the railroaders out. they deserted
their locomotive and cars and the police
mounted the locomotive. The railroaders
rallied and climbed upon it, and a battle
took place. Revolvers were drawn, the
police used clubs and both parties fought
until they all tumbled out of the engine
cab. By this time 2,000 people had congre-
gated and a hand-to-hand fight occurred.
The police again captured the locomotive
and pulled the train out of reach. Several
arrests have been made, among them Con-
tractor Kelly, who is now in the lock-up.
The city forces are now shoveling away the
obstructions, and police are guarding the
crossing.
THE LATE YACHT CALAMITY.
Three More Bodies Recovered—A Distress-
ing Incident of the Accident.
A Brooklyn despatch says: Three more
of the bodies of the ill-fated pleasure seek-
ers who went down with the yacht Mystery
were recovered at Point Breeze yesterday
afternoon, and there are only twelve now
missing. One of the saddest incidents of
the disaster came to light to -day. A month
ago Chas. Gargot, of 86 Park avenue, after
having been out of employment for some
weeks, secured a lucrative position in a
Chicago plate glass establishment. He
went on, leaving his wife and two children
at home. They were drowned. Yesterday
a letter came from Chicago to 86 Park
avenue. Mrs. Gargot's brother received it,
and seeing it addressed to his dead sister in
the familiar hand -writing of her husband,
forwarded it to Mr. Gargot's brother. He
opened it and found within an affectionate
letter to the dead wife and money to pay
her expenses to Chicago with her children.
There was an admonition to come at once.
Krupp Dead.
A Berlin cable says: Frederick Krupp,
the well known German metal founder and
gigantic steel gun manufacturer, died yes-
terday in his villa near Essen, Rhenish
Primes. Herr Krupp was born at Essen,
1812. The enormous 'manufactory at Essen
was established by the father of the
deceased in 1827. At first the elder Krupp
had only two workmen, and the works were
conducted on the most limited scale; but
under the supervision of the son they
attained to their present gigantic proper.
lions. Herr Frederick was the discoverer
of the method of basting steel in very large
masses. He sent to the LondonExhibition
of 1851 a block weighing 45 German quin-
tals, and at present a- block can be cast
weighing more than 4,000 quintals. Herr
Krupp manufactured a large number of
articles used for peaceful purposes, but his
name is more particularly associated with
the gigantic steel siege guns which the Ger-
mans used with such terrible effect against
the city of Paris. In 1864 the Emperor
William offered him letters of nobility,
which he declined to accept.

SENT/pi:WM TO DEATH.

A Paris cable says: The Pranzini trial
came to an end at half -past 6 o'plock last
evening in the presence of a most dazzling
bouquet of Parisian mmlciines, artists and
deon-mondaines. Among the spectators
sitting near me I noticed the Comtesse de
Bourbon, the Duchesse de Fitzjames, Mlle.
Rossita Maori and a bevy of danseuses
from the Opera. Sittig right behind me
were MM. Rochefort and Clemenceau.
Mlle. Jeanne Grarner sat looking at the
trial eating chicken sandwiches and now
and then refreshing herself from a delicate
little silver flask.
Pranzini stood cool but pale, listening to
every word uttered by his counsel, and now
and then he tinned his eyes toward the
pretty women and bewitching toilets that
made the ccurtroom resemble a flower
garden.
When the prisoner's counsel, Maitre
Demange—who isconsidered at the bar
one of the most accomplished rhetoricians
since Maitre Lachaucl—ended his speech
with the words, "Pranzini demande la vie
avec toutes ses jouissances—la vie avec
les femmes; la vie avec le jeu," Fran.
zini stretched out his left arm, and with
stentorian voice shouted:
"Give me death or give me liberty ; I am
innocent 1"
The jury retired, and after an hour and
three.quarters' deliberation they returned a
verdict of guilty as to the murder of Marie
Regnault and her servant, but said that the
killing of the little girl was without pre-
meditation.
The President, eyeing Pranzini fero-
ciously, said, "Pranzini, have you anything
to say ? "
Pranzini answered in dry, crisp tones,
and with clenched teeth, "Non ! "
Then the judge pronounced the death
sentence. The ladies cried "Oh Ohl"
and many fainted away, causing a tre-
mendous tumult. Pranzini motioned with
his hands as if he wanted to speak. A
dead • silence ensued. Pranzini then
muttered, "1 swear to God I am innocent I "
And this closed the trial for the triple
murder of the Rue Montaigne.
ATTEMPT TO MURDER
A Russian Grand Duchess by Religious
Fanatics.
A London cable says: A despatch from
St. Petersburg, which has come by way of
Gumbinnen, in Eastern Russia, states that
on July 10th a band of religious fanatics
attempted to murder the wife of Grand
Duke Nicholas Constantmovitoh, son of
Grand Duke Constantine, uncle, of the
Czar. The attempt at assassination was
made at the palace, where the lady and her
husband were stoppinge. The cause given
for the attack was that the Grand Duchess,
who is a Lutheran, refused to modify the
terms of her marriage covenant, which
accords her the privilege of remaining a
Lutheran and joining the GreekChuroh. The
fanatics were all arrested, having been
caught near the ealacea While they were
being removed to jail they cried to the
Grand Duchess, "We ;have already had
enough of Maria' Veffievona," referring to
the Grand Duchess of that name who is the
wife of the Grand Duke Vladimir, brother
of the Czar, whom the populace have KM-
peoted of making proselytes. It is stated
that previous to the attempt religious
fanatics also tried to kill the Grand Duchess
Elizabeth, wife of the Grand Duke Serge.
This lady is .also a Protestant, being a
daughter of Grand Duke Louis the Fourth
of Hesse. .;
THE NOBLE NOODLES
Who Admire Mrs. Leslie Will Not Fight.
A London cable says: There will be no
duel between the Marquis de Leuville and
the Russian Prince Eristoff, who a few days
ago played respectively the parts of cow -
hider and cowhided in Hyde Park. The
Marquis thirsted for blood, so he told his
friends, but various influences which were
brought to bear induced the Prince to dis-
appoint the noble Marquis in his longing.
He was appealed to byraMrs. Leslie not to
increase a painful scandal, and declared
that consideration for her feelings was
sufficient to induce him , to let the Marquis
alone. He has proposed marriage to Mrs.
Leslie and has been refused, but that did
not diminish his princely politeness and
consideration. Mee:Leslie, who has great
confidence in the ebility of the Marquie to
do things well, also advanced the argument
that the Marquis, who, she says, is the beat
duellist in the world, would either wound
or kill him, and that it. was beneath him
entirely to be run through or shot by a
man like De Leuville. The Prince refused
to consider the question of danger, but he
decided that if Mrs. Leslie's feelings were
not at stake, his dignity as a genuine and
unquestioned prince would prevent him
from fighting with a gentleman who was
not even a genuine and an unquestioned
marquis.
Burned by Molten Iron.
I Chicago despatch sty: A frightful ac-
cident occurred on Saturday morning at
the Union Steel Works, corner of Ashland
and Archer avenues. Three men were en-
gaged in pouring hot iron into a mould that
was damp, when the metal flew up and
burned them dreadfully. They were taken
to the county hospital and the physicians
declare that their recovery is out of the
question. Two of the injured are Poles
and the third a Hungarian. Their names
are: Miohnel Hische'George Woodford
and Aral Kutsche. The following were
seriously injured, but will probably re-
cover James Ilenneke, Samuel Wekel,
James Hurst and David Jenkins. Wood-
ford and Hisao were married. They and
Kutsehe were taken to the hospital, while
the others were removed to their homes.
Johnsonithe foreman, was also struck
by the flying metal and slightly burned.

Death on the Streets by a Laboring
Man,
A last (Wednesday) night' e Washington
despatch says: The most sensational mar -
der that has occurred. here Once the assas-
sination of President Garfield was com-
mitted about 5 o'clock this evening on the
corner of Fifteenth street and Pennsylvania
avenue, apposite the northeastern end of
the Treasury Department Building. Mr.
3. C. Kennedy, an attorney and real estate
agent, one of the oldest residents of Wash-
ington and al personal acquaintance of
many of the most prominent people of the
National Co.pital, vses nmirdered in cold
blood and apparently without provocation
byJohn Daily, a white laborer. A few
minutes before a o'clock Mr. }Kennedy left
his office, just above Riggs' Bank, and
crossed the street to the opposite corner,
where he mailed several letters. He then
started to take a car of the Fourteenth
street road. When he was within a few
feet of the oar Daily, who had been
loitering around the corner for several
hours, walked up behind him and drawing
a large, keen -bladed knife, similar to those
used by butchers in killing hogs, ran itinto
Mr. Kennedy 's right side near theabdomen
with a vicious lunge, and then gave it a
jerk sideways. Mr. Kennedy fell to the
ground, and after giving one cry of
"Murder," groaned deeply and pointed to
his murderer, who made no attempt to
escape. A crowd assembled, and Henry
Ason, a colored watchman, seized Daily,
who had stood looking on, apparently the
most unconcerned and self-possessed man
in the crowd. Mr. Kennedy expired in
about five minutes. The excitement rose
rapidly and the crowd grew boisterous,
threatening to hang the murderer. Daily
paid but little attention to them and refused
to say why he committed the crirae. Once
when provoked he turned serenely ,to the
crowd and said," Yap, I killed him—d—n
him." It was with difficulty that the crowd
was restrained until Daily was conveyed to
the station.
COL. REYNOLD'S ROMANCE.
Whf a Rich South Carolinian Took His
Slave for a Wife.
A Columbia, S. C., despatch says: A
special to the Daily Register from Sumter,
S. C., reports the death in that county last
Saturday of Colonel William J. Reynolds,
in the 79th year Of his age. Colonel Rey-
nolds, fifty years ago, was one of the most
promising young men in the State, and was
noted for his industry, integrity and active
interest in military affairs. He fell deeply
in love with a beautiful young girl belong-
ing to one of the first families in Clare-
mont county, and made suit for her band.
He seemed to be favorably regarded by the
girl herself, but her parents had more
ambitious views for her, and would not
allow her to marry him. Nothing daunted,
the young man went to work to win a
name and position which would render
him more acceptable to the parents. He
was elected to represent his county
in the State Legislature; served
one term with credit and dietinction,
and returning to his home made another
effort to secure the hand of the girl to
whom he was attached. He was again
refused; but after he had been elected a
third time over prominent and wealthy
competitors the opposition to him was
apparently silenced, the young woman pro-
mised to be his wife, and all the prepara-
tions were made for the wedding. At the
last moment she wrote a notesaying that
she had yielded to the wishes of her mother
and must decline to fulfil her engagement.
This broke up Colonel Reynolds' life and
career. After brooding for a long time
over his disappointment he took for a wife
a negro girl who had been his slave, and
lived with her to the last, regardless of
public opinion and the entreaties of his
relatives. He reared a large family of
children, and himself drew up a will pro-
viding for them all and putting them on an
equality with his own nearest relatives.
He left an estate consisting of some thou-
sands of dollars in money and 4,000 acres
of land, and it is thought that the validity
of the will will be sustained.
FOUR PERSONS DROWNED
By the Boat Being Cut in Two by a
Steamer.
A last (Sunday) night's Detroit despatch
says : Between 11 and 12 o'clock last
night a shocking accident occurred on the
river nearly opposite 'this city, by which
three men and a woman boat their lives.
The four, consisting of Christopher
Nicolans and his wife, Jacob Bachmann
and Jacob Rohler, all residents of Detroit,
had been spending the evening at Le
Boauff's wine house on the Canadian shore,
just above Walkerville, and started to
return a few minutes past 11. When near
the island wharf the steamer Mackinac,
whose approach the occupants of the boat
had not noticed until too late to avoid her,
struck the frail craft square on the beam
and out it completely in halves. The force
of the blow threw the occupants of the
rowboat into the water, and they were
drawn beneath the surface by the power-
ful suction of the steamer's paddles before
they had time even to utter a cry for help.
The steamer was immediately stopped and
every effort made to rescue the unfortunate
people, but no trace of them could be dis-
covered. The three men were all employed
at Kiln& brewery, in this city.
Sanitary Value of Hot Tea.
Tea taken hot is certainly more whole -
than iced tea. This is well shown by
the enormous population of China, which
could never have increased to its present
numbers if epidemic,/ had ravaged that em-
pire as they have those of the West. In
spite of overcrowding to a degree elsewhere
unknown, and indescribably filthy sur-
roundings, the Chinese have remained
healthy. The only sanitary redeeming
feature of their lives is the almost universal
use of tea as a beverage. That is to say, of
water that has been boiled. Thi d lesson in
practical sanitation is Of more Value than
anything brought forth bye our numerous
boards of health, National, State or niunia
cipal. In the presence of an epidemic of
cholera, typhoid fever or dysentery, the
Wisest precaution to take against infection
would be to boil all fluids used for drinking
purposes.—St. Louis Glebe -Democrat.

French lVines—The I:m.10one of a }lob-
fag—Advice to the Irish.
Mr: L00=11811;3 cables from London to/
the New York Werhi ;
The annooncement that the jelsilee,
hospitalities will cost the Qeeen :upward ofa
3500,000 is an exaggeration. The very
highest official estimate, including charges.
of every sort and deseription, is under.
$250,000. These payments are to be made
out of tho accumulations of the civil list.
People who are in the habit of drinking
cheap French wines under the delusion
that they are consuming pure Bordeaux or
Burgundy, will be interested to learn that
within the last few weeks half a million
gallons of Italian wines have reached Bor-
deaux from Naples and Bari, in addition to,
some two hundred thousand gallons of
Greek wine. Of course those wines, which
are bought at inconceivably low rates, with
leave the town to which they are consigned
after having been transferred by dexterous,
mixing into Medoc or Macon.
Having sought consolation by the abuse.
of its friends, the Times proceeds to deal,
with Mr. Gladstone's speech to the Ameri-
can delegates who brought him over the
testimonial and with the delegates. Mr.
Joseph Pulitzer is described as a Bavarian,
Mr. Perry Belmont as a 'nail who Wants
promotion and is willingtoflatter theIrish,
the committee as composed of pushing
Irish tradesmen. $ays the 'l'imes; " The
whole thing is, as was shown in our-
columne a month ago, a delightful com-
bination of vulgar political intrigue and
sordid commercial speculation. The money
was raised by charging for admission to.
dancing and fireworks. As for Mr. Glad-
stone, his colossal vanity and insatiable
appetite for flattery are well known, and,
he has repaid the donors with flattery as
gross and as clumsy as that; which pleases
his own far from fastidious palate. It is.
difficult to conceive the depths to which a
man has sunk before he can contemplate
such an offering with anything but repug-
nance and disgust." Ie not all this a little
bverdoing the vituperation? The Times
appeals to all patriotic and intelligent men.
May not possibly some of them vaguely
opine that tho cause that has to be defended
by vilification of every ono in the language
of a fishfag is more notable for its weak-
ness than its strength?
The Coercion Bill hat' passed the House
of Commons and will in a few days receive
the Royal assent. The centre of resistance.
will therefore be transferred from London
to Ireland. If the Tories fancy that the
victory is already won, they are in a fool's
paradise. Leb,there be no ontrage. The
Tories hope to force the Irish into crime
as a justification for the Crimes Act, The
Irish must not play their game. They
must oppose with a passiee resistance
whenever an eviction is attempted. The
home of the victim should be barricaded
and the task of the exterminators rendered
difficult. Whenever a man turns informer
or takes land from which the rightful
holder has been evicted, such a man should
be treated as a leper. If the Irish are only
true to themselves it will be found more
easy. to pass a Coercion Act in England
them to carry it out in Ireland.
A LONG BRANCH COSTUME.
A Story Which All the Ladles Will
Apprecia
. One of the drollest exhibitions of dress
was made by a stout lady who went on an
excursion to escape the heat of the city.
She had bestowed imusnal pains on her
costume, which was of ecru pongee. The
skirt and the waist were trimmed with in-
numerable rows of fine knife pleating,made
by machinery. It Was flat-pressed,neat and
rather becoming. She had a parasol made
of over -lapping rows of tho same pleating.
She hae a peeked -bonnet, on which
several rows of it were placed. Nothing
could have been finer than the lady's ap-
pearance as she sat down among the rather
envious company. Pretty soon dampness
came into the air and did a fatal work for
the frills. Every particle of the dressing
came outof the knife pleats. A brisk wind
blew them out and blow them up. The
fulness required for pleating is just three
times the surface it covers. That parasol
was a mass of crazy, ruffled rags. That
hat laid ever any old Irish cap that ever
crossed a peat bog on a Tipperary widdy's
head. That dreee was a half -inflated,
flapping balloon. Tho face of the lady got
crimson with a sense of her disordered con-
dition, and one was justified in thinking it
would be $10 or ten days she would be get-
ting at 10 in the morning in the police
court. —Long Branch. Letter.
Advertising for Skin Grafts.

Seyeral months ego Miss Emma Neuman,
of Bristol, had her scalp torn from her
head by her hair cetobing in machinery in

Young persons, not over 30, who are
willing to confer a favor on Miss Enema
Neuman, will greatly oblige her and her
friends if they will allow seeds for grafting
in the new scalp to be taken from their
arm. The family Mul Mende have fur-
nished material, and a good scalp is being
made, but the lack of sufficient material is
now the greatest obstacle in successfully

grafting is pinched up and slipped off with-

who will assist the recovery of Miss Neu-
man may call on Dr. Wilson at his office at
9.30 tarn. or notify him, and arrangements
will be made for tho convenience of parties.
