The Advocate, 1887-11-10, Page 2THB IRISH TURMOIL, „ „ stlunye mat—Important League „convene sten—tiatrouve work to Ireland. A Dublin cable says : The trial of Sir Wilfrid Blunt, at -Woodford, was .resumed yesterday. Ir. Harrington, counsel for the defence, applied to the Court for a sum- mons to compel the attendance of M. Bal. four, Chief Secretary, 1113 a witness, in order to show whether any information had been ewernto as stated in the proclamation that the proposed meeting at Woodford last Sunday would lead to a breach of the peace. Mr. Renans, counsel for the prosecntion, denied the right of the defence to ask what bad happened in Council at Dublin. The Magistrate said Mr. Harrington's applica- tion Was founded on the assumptioirthat the statements in the proclamation were false, and the Court was not competent to decade the question. The hearing of the evidence was then reaumed. The solicitor for the defence wade a formal affidavit in •support of the application for the summon- ing of Mr. Balfour and the case was ad- journed. A Convention of the National League will open at Cardiff on Saturday next and Will last three days. Commoners T. P. O'Connor, J. O'Connor Crelly, Foley and Biggar and a number of Welsh members will speak. The resolutions to be presented to the Convention declare that the meeting represents -2,000,000 of the Irish race settled in Great Britain, that " 078 believe that Ireland will never be peaceful and prosperous until she has control of her own affairs," and that 3, we will stand with the people at home until their righte are won." Mr. Balfour's arrival in Dublin has already borne fruit at Woodford and else- where. Dublin Castle at one moment was actually in charge of a clerk in the 'Under - Secretary's office. Coercion in Mr, Bal - four's hands will be no rosewater business. Lord Randolph Churchill's prediction at Stockton that Ireland would be got well in hand before" next February expresses the real-. belief. of Mr. Balfour and his colleagues. The suppression of the Wood- ford meanie shows how far they are ready to gd.- ThePIrish leaders meant this meet- ing ales challenge. They doubted whether the Government would venture to prevent an assemblage of the English Horne Rule League addressed exclusively by English- men. They doubt no longer. They see the policy of repression and suppression is to be tried in grim earnest. Nor need either side regret that this question should be brought to a square issue. If Ireland can be governed from Dublin Castle, it will be governed this winter. If it cannot, so much stronger will be the argument for Home Rule. A. last (Friday) night's London cable says: Mr. Gladstone on Ms way back to Hawarden, at Staleybridge, made a speech, in whioh he advised the people to settle the Irish question, otherwise no English business could be transacted in Parliament. James Donnelly, the dynamiter, who was eonvicted in 1883 in Edinburgh, has died in Chatham prison of consumption. Earl Spencer, speaking at Bedford to -day, said there was no doubt that there were extreme men in both England and in Ireland, who were ready to commit dynamite outrages in order to effect their purpose ; but nothing was more mis- chievous than to attempt to confuse the Irish in one body by mixing up the party of Parnell with the dynamiters. (Cheers.) He was happy to think such efforts had failed. The Parnellites had no greater enemies than O'Donovan Rosso, and bis crew. (Hear, hear.) If the Liberal policy of conciliation prevailed, it would end these abominable crimes, but if coercion prevailed for any length of time, he saw the greatest danger from secret societies reviving, and extremists with their dynamite coming to the front. The present Liberal policy was not founded on despair—unless it were despair of the old worn-out methods. It was a policy bright with hope in the future, and with confi- dence in the result of reliance on -the Irish people in throwing upon them the responsibility of governing their own country. (Cheers.) T14.4 PI pISPUTB.THP.sTeT.$444.1F.STC1q,. Wbset West end Others Think of Oham- lserlain's Appointment. WafilsingtOn (p.c.) dealeateh PaYs 0.oseph Chamberlain has notified Sir Lionel S.aekville West that he intends to pail for America to -day. Mr. West le a diplo- mat. He says that it "amuses hint to hear and read of the opposition to Chamberlain." Mr. West is not so well pleased over the outlook as be would appear to be. On the contrary, he rs very nnich diseatisfied with Chamberlain's appointment. No man knows better than the British Minister that there are not ten Senators among the seventy-six in the United States penate who would dare to vote for any measure whioh may be opposed by any considerable number of Irish American citizens. Mr. West also relates fully the very unpleasant " bete " into which he is thrust by the appointment of Chamberlain upon the same connnission with himself. But Mr. "Wept is too well versed in diplomatic) etiquette to suggest to his Government that the gentleman who has been selected as his superior on the com- mission is unfit for theplace. The situation is unfortunate, to put it mildly. In the first place, Congress set the seal of its dis- approval upon the idea of a commission so emphatically last winter that there can be no possible hope of the approval of any measure in the House if the ternis of the forthcoming convention are such as to re- quire the sanction of that branch. Even if it does not affect the revenues, and can therefore go into effect with the approval of the Senate alone, it is destined to meet with but poor support in that body: One of the best posted men in the Upper House said to -day " I am ex- ceedingly sorry to learn that the President has decided not to interfere in the appoint- ment of the British Commissioners. The sentiment of more than half the Senate is opposed to Mr. Chamberlain's position upon the Irish question, and the others are gene- rally inclined in a lesser degree to take the samc?views. Every Irish society in the United States will in all probability oppose any measure in which Chamberlain has a hand. Couple with this state of affairs the fact that the Senate is opposed to the settlement of differences tbrough a joint commission, and it will readily be seen that any treaty which may be negotiated will have a very slim chance of ratification. I have no idea that anything can be accomplished by this commission as it is at present constituted." Messrs. Angell and Putnam, the American member f3 of the commission, have returned to Washington, and are in frequent con- sultation with Wecretary Bayard regarding the approaching negotiations. The English commissioners are expected here about the end of the first week in November. In- structions will be given to the U. S. Cus- toms offices to extend to them the courte- sies usually accorded visiting diplomats in the matter of free admission of personal effects, etc. It is the present intention to have the negotiators meet in the Depart- ment Building, and the large room near the Secretary's office, known as the diplomatic reception -room, will be set apart for their consultations. ALLEGED MIRACULOUS RECOVERY Strange but 'Well -Authenticated case of a Michigan Lady. A Corunna, Mich., despatch says: Ther has been considerable excitement here over a so-called miracle which occurred to Mrs Andrew Eldridge, wife of a respectable man living for many years in this city. In nearry her own words the following is her version of the matter as given: "1 have been sick for years. Two years ago this month I suffered a stroke of para- lysis of the entire right side, including both extremities. For ninety-eight days I was blind and speechless. I was always a be- liever in the Word of God, and that Hewes willing and able to heal my body. On Wednesday, the 12th inst., at about 11.30 S.M., I called upon God to either take me to Himself or heal my bodily infirmities as • was best. I was lying on my right side and could not move over. God made known to me that he was willing to save me then, and I at once repeated the verse frorn His Word, Whosoever believeth on me,' etc., aloud and sat up in the bed, my husband supporting me. I arose and walked. To God alone be the glory. " My mind was failing; now it is as good as ever.

One of the tvitnesses called to establish his identity was a mem- ber of the spATle body named Hawkins, whc ,IVitit deceased was lately shown around the H011Ee of Commons by Mr, Joseph Nolan, a member of the Parnellite party. In the possession of Hawkins the police found a newspaper cutting announcing that Mr. Balfour, the Irish Chief Secre- tary, was to address an open air demon- stration of Conservatives in Birmingham on November 2nd. It is believed a plot exists to attempt Mr. Balfour'e murder on that occasion. The 0::31f Secretary is, therefore, being closely guarded night and day. A London cable says: In reference to the statement of Commissioner Monro, of the detective department, at the inquest over the body of Cohen, the alleged dynamiter, yesterday, that Gen. Millen, the head of the Clan -Na -Gael Society, was in London during the Jubilee, the police state that Millen has never set foot in England. They say he resided at Boulogne and Paris. A detective called on him at Ilonlogne4 before the Jubilee celebration and wadrp d,. him tip that he knew of the plot against i ueen. Millen then fled to Paris. From t ere he went to Brussels, then to Rotterdam and from that city to Amsterdam. At the latter place he took passage, with his wife and daughter, on the 22nd of this month, on steamer Edam for New York. With re- gard to Melville, the London agent of the society, the pollee say that when he arrived in London he took lodgings in a mean quer. ter in Gladstone street, and was in impe- cunious circumstances. Melville had visited Joseph Nolan, Irish member of Parliament, in company with Michael Hawkins. Both Melville and Hawkins had been seen in Cohen'S company. Melville went to Paris and saw Dennehey and Maloney, who sailed for America on Aug. 171h. Dennehey is a member of the Clan -Na -Gael Society and resides in Brooklyn. Melville returned to London in a more prosperous condition. He lived a.t the Metropole Hotel and spent money freely. He was constantly in the company of a Miss Kennedy, with whom he travelled through Ireland and then to Paris. They lived in grand style. In Paris he called on General Millen at the Hotel du Palais. Melville finally sailed from Havre on Sept. 17th for New York. kliss Kennedy accompanied him. On reaching New York Miss Kennedy was arrested for smuggling. BurchalPs address in Philadelphia is 2,521 North Sixth street. The police claim to have proof against him and Hawkins, but it is not known what they will do now that Melville has lied. Melville's address is "Care of Moroney, 025 Tenth avenue, New York." Mr. Joseph Nolan, M.P., denies emphati- cally that he has any knowledge of dyne - miters. He says he believes a base attempt has been made to implicate him with such persons. The inquest and proceedings in the Cohen case, in his opinion, had been designed to assist the nefarious policy of the Government. ••111••••••••••••••••••••••••••• Spurgeon Quits the Baptist Union.. A London cable says: Mr. Spurgeon.has withdrawn from the Baptist Union. In announcing his decision to withdraw and replying to his critics he says : " To pur- sue union at the expense of the truth is treason to Jesus. To tamper with His doctrine is to become traitors to Him. We have before us the wretched spectacle of professedly orthodox Christians publicly avowing union with those who deny the faith, calling the fall of man a fable and denying the personality of the Holy Ghost." Replying to the question why he does not start a now denomination, he says it is a question for which he has no liking; that there are enough denomina- tions already, and that if another were formed the thieves and robbers who have entered, the other gardens walled around would enter it also, so nothing would be gained.

To the servant who opened. the door he handed a small package addressed to Mr. Weisehler. That gentleman not being home, the pack- age was parried to 1140, Weischler. On opening it she found two small boxee, ore of which Was made of paper and the other of wood. The latter hada sliding top and she attempted to open it. She had only pulled the top EL little when there was a sudden explosion, and she.sprang to her feet screaming with pain, while her boy joined her with his cries, The servants rushed into the roorn and found Mrs, Weisohler in a terrible condition. limbic() and hand were badly lacerated and she was , almost blinded. The boy, too, was rolling about the floor in agony from the pain caused by lacerations of his face and hands. An examination showed that the faces of Mrs. Weischler and her son were filled with small pices of metal whioh had been driven into them by force of the ex- plosion. The boy, while painfully hurt, is not considered to be in any danger, but in the case of Mrs. Weischler it is feared that lockjaw may set in and that her death is certain. The most careful and minute ex- amination failed to disclose any trace Of the explosion, and the police are unable to say or even to guess what it was. There was no sign of any machinery to have worked an explosion, and none of the little bits of metal about similar to those which were driven into the face of Mrs. Weischler and her son. Where the explosives and the pieces of metal were kept is it thorough puzzle. The only reasonable explanation offered was that BOnle new kind of chemical oompound had been used, which, occupying a small space, has tremendous force and is exploded by a slight friction. The boxes will be thoroughly and carefully examined by experts, and it is possible that some- thing may yet be found which will lead to the discovery of just what the explosive was. Anti -Scott Fire Dugs. A Peterboro' despatch says: 'Very re- cently the residence of Wm. Yelland, in the heart of the town, and the Rev. Mr. Tovell's parsonage and Mr. Rossiter's— the latter being it Scott Act informer— were set on fire by having kerosene dis- tributed freely over the verandah and front door, and last night similar treat- ment was given to Dr. Fife, President of the Scott Act Association. Dr. Fife has offered a reward of $200 and the Mayor $500 for the conviction of the person or persons guilty of committing the act. The inspector has been fining the hote/13 to a very considerable extent lately. Over $5,000 has been taken from the violators of the Scott Act since the 1st of January last, and the opponents of' the Act have now become exasperated, having been convicted SO recently, and these fires are supposed to be the result of their wrath. The damage to all the properties is fully covered by insurance. The Ottawa Elopement. An Ottawa despatch says: The outcome of the recent sensational elopement from this city is as follows: Messrs. Germany ca Sinclair give notice that William Henry Middleton, of Ottawa'will apply to Par- liament next session for a bill of divorce from his wife, Mary Fronde Middleton, on the ground of adultery and desertion. Mr. Fenwick Hamilton, accused of elop- ing with Mrs. Middleton; is at the St. Lawrence Hall, Montreal, and says he shall sue all the papers whioh maligned him. A Montreal despatch says: Mrs. Middle- ton has telegraphed a local paper to con- tradict the report concerning theelopement, it being entirely false. "1 am here for the purpose of procuring a divorce. Please contradict any statements concerning Mr. Hamilton relative to my affairs. If you do this for me you will greatly oblige.—Yours truly (signed) Msne F. MIDDLETON." Important Legal Decision. A Cornwall despatch says: A some- what new point of practice in criminal oases was developed at the Assizes here. An indictment for assault occasioning bodily harm was being tried before Judge O'Connor. Under suoh an indictment the defendant cannot be sworn as a witness. At the conclusion of the trial His Lord- ship, instead of charging the jury in the ordinary way, directed them simply to find whether bodily harm had been occa- sioned to the prosecution. They found that it had not. This finding reduced the case to one of common assault. The defendant was thereupon sworn and gave evidence, this being allowed in the cases of common assault or assault and battery. Daniel McCourt was the defendant and Mrs. McWhinney the prosecutrix. The tinittter arose out of a row between neigh- bors. MoCourt was acquitted, ReekleasExtrairagenee. You will find Scotchmen whore you'll find anybody. Of course everybody knows that.

Everybody who ,has read or has head reed in childhood, as the majority have, John puuyan's story of his dream of the Pilgrim's Progress will lee interested to learn that the warrant for his imprison- ment has been discovereclamong the papers of the descendants of one of Bunyan's fel- low victims. The following is the story, as told in the London Times, of the discovery, and the text of the warrant; On the accession of the Denby Ministry, the policy of toleration towards Nonconfor- mists was reversed by proclamation dated February 3rd, 1674-5, all conventicles were suppressed, and all licenses to preach with- drawn. Bunyan was left at the mercy of his enemies, who striick at him with allt possible speed. The movers would be Sir W. Beecher, an M.P. for the borough, .Sir George Blundell, and Dr. Foster, Chancellor of Lincoln, three of the magistrates connected with the first imprisonment—bitter harassers of Dissenters. All three had distrained for fines, and Foster, as Commissary of the Arolideaconry Court, had in the year 1668-9 alone inflicted 1,400 of these fines. They collected a strong bench—Sir John Napier, M P. for the county, six baronets and seven minor luminaries—and under their hands and seals was issued the following warrant To the constables of Bedford and to every of them ; whereas information and 00111 - plaint is made unto us that (not- withetandieg the Kings l'ilajties Napier late Aot of most gratious goodwill and free pardon to all his subjects for past misdemeanorus that by his said clementie and indulgent guard and favor they might bee moovecl and induced for the time W Beecher to come more carefully to observe his Highness lawes and Statutes and to continue in their° ioyan and duo obedience to his Majtie) Yett one schn 13unnyon of yo G Blundell said Towne Tynker bath divers times within one month last past in contempt of his Najd° good Lames preached or teached at a Conventicle meeting or Assembly Hum; monoux under color or ptenee of exercise of Religion in other manner than according to the Liturgie or Will Franklin practiss of the church of Eng- land These are therein Ins Majties name to comand you forthwith to apprehend and bring the Body of the said John Bunn - ion before us or any of us or other his Blaj ties Justice of Peace within the said County to answer tho promisses and further to John Ventris doo and receave as to Lowe and Justice shall appertain° and hereof you are not to Me Given under our hawses and soales this Hourthh day of March in the seven and twentieth yeare of the Reign° of our most gracious Sovereign° ',craning Charles the Second, Ao gue Dnejubta gr 1674 Will Spenour Will Gory St. Jo Cherneke Wm Daniels T Browne W Foster Gains squire The document is so little thumbed or soiled that it cannot have been long in a constable's horny palm. The sufferer was not far to seek. He may oven have done now as he did on his first arrest—gone to the constable's house to surrender. With him it was but simple duty. He did not dream of the great and noble use to which he was to turn his captivity nor that he himself would live to see some of the gain to religion and literature to ensue from it. It only remains briefly to indicate how this unknown and unsuspected treasure has been preserVed to us, and Mr. Thomp- son permits me to say that he considers my account of it as reasonable and probable. Among the ministers ejected for Noncon- formity in 1662 was one Ichabod °hammy —a sonof Charles Chauncy, President of Harvard College. He settled at Bristol as a physiuian, sparing time to give valuable help to the harassed Dissenters, especially in defending those prosecuted under the Acts relating to religion. He was styled their "Attorney -Genera)," and as such prosecuted and exiled with forfeit of land and goods in 1686. He would have muoh to do Wth the success of Bushell's case at the end of 1670, where the full Court of Common Pleas held that a juryman could not be fined nor imprisoned on the ground that his verdict was against evidence or the direction of the judge. As the persons acquitted were William Penn and Mead, Bushell was considered as a second Hampden, and his case would be green early in 1675. It may well be that 13unyan's friends would forward this war- rant to their champion in the hope that some use might be made of the very short month between the date of the proclama- tion (before which there was no legal offence) and the date of the warrant. How- ever, the intervention of the Bishop of Lincoln would soon be known, the sufferer was released in six months, and the warrant would pass into the good playsioian's pigeon -holes, vvhere it would remain until it passed, with 801E0 documents derived from his father, into the hands of his grandson, Dr. Charles Chaunoy, by whose family, I am informed by their solicitors, Messrs.
