Parisians Slav Take the Lnw In Their Own Hands and YVIp Out the Anarchists. Paris. March 23. The excitement caused 1j the explosion yesterday at the residence of M. Unlet, at No. SJ Kuo l.ichy. baa in no way abated. The atlair is discussed everjwbere, and the opinion gains strength that the authorities hare been to a certain ex tent relax in their watchfulness. Parisian ask each other bow long this tbiog is going to be allowed to go unchecked. In some quarters tbero are grumblings against tho slowness of the law in dealing with the cowardly miscreants, who are afraid to do their fighting in the open, but who. under the cover of darkness, seek to kill or maim dozens of persons for the sake of getting revenge upon ono who has incurred their enmity. Some persons say that the time is raDwllv approaching when tho people will depend no longer upon the police for protection. Lot will take the law into their Lands and rid the city of the Anarchists by banging them to tho most convenient tree or pole that presents itself. Stringent orders have boen given to the chiefs of police to take into custody any one whose actions or language show that they are in sympathy with the men who delight in calling themselves terrorists. It is the general opinion that, instead of exciting terror, tho Anarchists will arouse such a wave of indignation that they will bo themselves the greatest suttVrs. An Anarchist pamphlet. latWly published, warned M. Uoulet, who was one of tho prosecnting counsel in a recent trial of Anarchists, that he would be blown up. Notwithstanding the recent activity of the Anarchists, no attention was paid to this threat, with tho result that they were allowed to put it into execution unhampered and unhindered. The author of these dynamic explosions is said to be a man named Kavacbol. Several of his alleged accomplices have been arrested, bnt the police, though it is claimed they ure making almost superhuman efiorts to capturo him. have not been able to catch him. In the Chamber of Deputies to-day M. Emtio -Ferry asked urgency for a bill proTiding that damage doneto private property by dynamito explosions be met by tho state. Premier Lou bet, in replying to M. Ferry, declined to commit the government to such acourso as the latter had proposed. - The motion for urgency was reiected by a vote of 52 to 254. M. Cammile Jreyf ash gave notice of his intention to make a motion that the government roanrao the 6olo right to manufacture dynamite. The Chamber, without debate, passed the hill relative to inflicting the death penal ty on any person or persons convicted of having destroyed property by means of explosives. A clause wa3 added to the bill exempting Irom the punishment provided by tho jneasare persons who gave information whereby the guilty parties were brought to justice even though the informers were accessory before the fact, provided that ' they informed the authorities before the crime was committed. In consequence of the series of dynamite explosions, attributed to the Anarchists, which have occurred at or near the residences of officials in this city reeently. and the threats of further explosions made by members of the order, people living in the vicinitv of the residence of any one connected with the government have become greatly ajarmed. and the feelina of insecurity prevailed to such an extent that several families who occupied apartments in houses, in which judges and other officials likely to incur the enmity of the Anarchists also Jived, are removing from these residences, which they considered to be not safe from dynamito attacks. One landlord, as an inducement to prospective tenants, has posted notice on tho front of his house to the etlcct that no judges dwell therein, and that no one occupying a judicial position will be accepted as a tenant. Several landlords have served uposf the tenants connected with courts of justice notices to quit. Hotel proprietors complain that many tourists are departing from Paris in consequence of the dynamite scare. It is asserted that or-Miuister Constans kept secret funds for the personal control of information obtained during his terra of office out of his successor's reach. Upon a house in the Hue Kcnnequen, occupied by eight police officials, there was found to-day the following inscription: fThis house will shortly be blown up with dynamite." At a meeting ot tho municipal Council, to-day, M. Loz, replying to questions, announced that all of the authors of the rucentdynamite outrage.excepttwo. had been arrested. He denied that any teuant of the boose blown up yesterday in the Itue Clieby, had been menaced. The polico. he said, nnd ample funds for the purpoao of eurveillance. DKEMINGS RECORD. Crimea Charged Against the Murderer Verdict of the Rain Hill Coroner's Jury. Livektool, March 2S. The coroner's investigation into the death? of the woman and four children whoso bodies wero fonnd buried under the floor of Dinham villa, at Rain Hill, was continued to-day. Among the witnesses who testified was Bertha Deeming, a sister of the murdered woman, who is the wife of Albert Deeming, a brother of the mnrderer. She gave evidence as to tho marriage of her sister, Marie James, to Frederick Dailey Deeming, who is under arrest in Australia for the murder of another wifo at Windsor, near Melbourne. This inarriago took placo at fit. Paul's Church. Tranmcre, in February, 1SS0. Shortly after the wedding Deeming went to Melbourne, stating that he would send for hia wife to join him there. He did so. and nothing further was heard of them until last April, when be returned to England with four children. Mrs. Frederick Deeming stayed with the witness who resides at 55 Canning street, JJirkenhead, until tho last tiatusday in July, when she left to join her husband, stating to witness that they intended to stay in IJain Hill. Nothing further was heard of her or her family until the bodies were discovered. In tho opinion of the witness, ner sister, who was very much concerned at what she described as the "carrviugs on" of her husband, had determined to bring , matters to a crisis by taking her family to Rain Hill and establishing herself at Din bam villa. At this time Deeming, under the alias of Williams, was court mg Miss Mather, and tbo arrival of his wife with her four children uo doubt interlored with his plans. The murder of his wife and children followed. Deeming subsequently married Miss Mather, and killed her at Windsor. The jury returned a verdict of willful murder against Deeming. In their verdict they severely criticised tho action of the Kaiu lliil police, who, although everybody was suspicious of Deeming, took no action agaiu&t him. When tho verdict was rendered the superintendent of the Rain Hill police retorted that residents had not communicated their suspicions to tho police The story of eraing,s crimes has become so coin pi. c f -1 through his adoption of aliase.i that it will mako matters clean-r to give in chronological order the ovmr in the career of this remarkable criminal under his ditkrent assumed names, it is as follow: Cutler the name of Deeming, which is hit rightful one, ho married Mi James in l-"v . and left tho Mini') year i Jor Cape Town; joined by his wifo in 2yd- ' Xiey. 1S.X.'; revived six weeks' mi- j prisontncut for theft. lSS'.'; absconded i from Sydney on charge of fraudulent insolvency in 1SVC; returned j to England on Aug. 11. and to Ulrkeuhead, leaving that place aud his ; w;fo after the birth of hit fourth child. , about four months afterwards. l&'J; under the nan e of Lawson he arrived at Hull and obtained jowelrv on false pretences.

Little Ones In Ilual Forced to Eat Rag nnd Refute to Stiy ThIr Hunger. St. pETKiisnuKG, March 28. The committee formed for the purpose of providing relief for the children of the faminestricken peasants of the country baa reported that in many of the districts where the famine prevails the cnildrcn are so poorly nourished that tbeyare too feeble to undertake the iiiug walk, which, in mauy instances, requires an hour's time to accomplish, to the schools, where soup is doled out to those who make application. Being thus unable to obtain any food, the unfortunate children, driven desperate by the pangs of hunger, resort to most unusual means of securing something to stay the gnawmgs of their stomachs. To snch straits are they driven by the famine that they, eat most unwholesome and disgusting things, some devouring that which even animals would refuse. It was found during tho investigation of the committee that tbo children, when nothing-in the form of food could be obtained, were in the habit of greedily eating whatever rags fell to their possession, and that when the rags failed them their hunger was so groat that they actually devoured quantities of earth. The deplorable condition to which the suffering children were reduced by 'this un natural diet can easily be imagined. Those who were able to survive under these terrible conditions were in the most miserable plight, and were in such a poor phvsical condition that they wero utterly unable to face the biting cold of the Russian winter, and were forced to remain in their wretched dwellings an:! huddle together for the purpose of obtaining the little warmth which this cheerless companionship produced. Many of the teachers employed in the scnools in these districts are also in a famishing condition. They have received no salary since last autumn, aud their only means of support being thus cut oft they are in almost as miserable a state as the children. The commissioner, who is arranging for the distribntion of the Hour und gram sent from America for tbo relief of the sniiering peasants in Russia, has written a letter requesting that seed-grain be sent from America. At Mr. Murphy's suggestion the kitchens, in the distressed provinces at which the American fond will be distributed, will be named after the States from which the food came. TWO AGED LOVERS. Sir Edward Watkins's lletrotlial to Mrs. Ingram ?l routes Strong Opposition. London, March 28. Since the announcement of the betrothal of Lady BurdetteCoutts to Ashmead Bartlett there has been no such cry of astonishment as is raised over tho statement that Sir Edward Watkins, M. P., is to marry 3 Irs. Ingram, widow of the late proprietor of the Illustrated London News. Sir Edward is seventythree and Mrs. Ingram is eighty-three years old. Sir Edward lost his first wife some twenty years ago. She was tbe daughter of a prosperous manufacturer. Jonathan Miller, at Oldham. Her fortune enabled Sir Edward to jump from bemud the counter in bis father's dry-goods store into tbe fields of speculation, which has made him one of tbo most powerful railway magnates in England. The reason of his popularity is caused maiuly by his purchase of fenowdeu, the highest mountain in his native Wales, ami in his channel-tunnel scheme from Calais to Dover. He has converted even Gladstone to believe in this scheme, which is pressedin Parliament from year to year. A singular feature of tbis match is that Sir Edward has a son who is married to a daughter, of his intended wife. The Ingram family make no concealment of their distaste of the proposed marriage. They consider that their mother is old enough to know better. She has a large fortune en tircly at her own disposal, which they do not desire to see diverted from the family. SirEdward has been breathing vengeance and threatening a libel suit against any one who suggests that it is not for the octogenarian lady herself that ho has a regard, but for her money. Several newspapers have already been obliged to apologize for insinuations in that direction. GENERAL FOREIGN NEWS. The Pope Tats In Hank Five Million o IJre for Ills Successor's Use. Rome, March 23. It is stated on good authority that Pope Leo XIII, in anticipation of future difficulties which the Holy See may have to encounter, has deposited in a bank, to bo paid to his successor, the sum of five millions of lire, which have been saved by tbo economies introduced at tho Vatican. This amount is entirely independent of what tho next Pope will find in the treasury of St. Peter's pence, and represents a special gift xm.de by Leo XIII to his successor. .Many Catholics, more especially manufacturers and large emyloyers ot labor, have sent requests to the Holy Seo asking that a clearer explanation than that gyren in tbo Pope's recent encyclical on the social question might bo given on the question of wages. It Is little probable, however, that the Pope will accede to this request, as he does not wish to occupy himself with questions of practical application which vary according to the multitudinous conditions existing in each country. Tho Pope ban notified Archbishop Irelaud that no doctrinal decision will bo taken in regard to the scholastic question in the United States. A German Ilaron Turns Hnrglar. 8fecll to llie Irdlanapo'.lA Journa'. London, March 28. Dr. Von Holmfeldr, a German baron with the bluest of noblo blood in bis voins, has come to grief in London. He had for eomo timo past been employed as a tutor in the family of an Englishman of wealth, but recently lost his occupation. Last night he was arrested in tho act of committing a burglary in a tavern in Fleet street. Hehad pocketed the contents of the till and p emerging from the place when ho literally ran into the arms of a vigilant policeman. When searched cards were found in his pockets inscribed with various aliases, and a dynamite cartridge wus discovered in his coat. Ho was remanded for a hearing. There is no doubt ot Holmfeldt's being a genuino baron. Ho admits that he resorted to theft, and says that poverty and hunger drove him to crime. Jewels That Camed Much Trouble. London, March 28.

And Ilissed Archbishop Corrigan, Editor Dana and Oilier Friends of Ireland, Disorderly Meeting at Coopr Union, New York Twenfy Un and Women of the Farnellite Faction Ejected by tbe Police. New York, March 28. The first pnblio meeting in this city of the Irish Federation of America, the new organization which is designed to supplant tho Irish National League, was held to-night and was marked by disorder, inspired by tho Parnellites, who were present in large numbers, and the police, to preserve anything liln order, had to forcibly eject from Cooper Union . at least twenty men and women. Notwithstanding tho unruly demonstrations of the minority, who came prepared . to create a disturbance, tbe meeting is considered to have been a success. Cooper Union was packed to the doors, fully three thousand people being present. Captain McCullagh with twenty-live men in uniform were on hand when the doors opeued, but at the lirst sign of disorder he 6eut for twenty-five more men. That was when Rev. Dr. McGlyno, Archbishop Corr'gan's foe, entered and took a seat in the rear, prior to the meeting being called to order. Some one shouted; 'Three cheers for Dr. McGlynu." The McGiynn people had circulated a protest against Archbishop Corrigan having anything to do with tbe federation, and they got up and cheered Dr. McGiynn so that tbo noise could be beard in tho committee room where Archbishop Corrigan was. When Charles A. Dana. Dr. Thomas Add is Emmet, Archbishop Corrigan and other prominent gentlemen appeared on the platform there went around tho halt a storm of mingled hisses and cheers. Many rose on their feet, but still tho hisces continued. "Three cheers for tho Archbishop," shouted somebody, and the hisses were drowned with cheers that followed. Thomas Addis Emmut, tho president f tbo organization, r to call the meeting to order, but in a moment a lank individual got up and cried. "Three oheors for Parcell." There was another storm of hisses. "Put him out!" yelled the crowd. Captain McCtillAgh and his twenty-five policemon becamo alert for disturbers and the man was hustled out of the ball. Mr. Emmet then explained that the National Federation of America was formed to forward home rule to Ireland,, au object held by every Irishman outside of tho intluence of tho Tory party. Its existence is in f till co-operation with the National Federation of Ireland and tho funds raised through its influence in this country will be transmitted to tho committee of the National Irish partj' and usod for no other purpose than to dufrav the expenses for the coming election of Parliament. A full measure of home rule cannot be seenred unless a full delegation bo sent to Parliament. This was greeted with prolonged hisses. Charles A. Dana was presentedand spoke. He admonished that it was only by harmony among themselves that tbe Irish could hope to gain home rule in tho near future. They should right their enemies, not each other. Prof. John P. Brophy, of St. Louis College, the next speaker, was saying that tbe crisis in Irish history had now come. How could Ireland be now best served! At this point Mrs. Margaret Moore, a well-known Irish woman, who has been iu Kilniainham jail, cried: "You can servo Ireland by following Parnell." This created the wildest excitement. The Parnellites. who resented the ejection of several disorderly persons during Dr. Emmet's introductory speech, cheered themselves hoarse. Police Captain McCullagh walked up t hi center aisle aud said thatany one who did not come to hear what the speakers had to say would better leave the ball or not interrupt. Mrs. Moore, however, stood np defiantly. Sho was finally induced to resume her seat. Several times friends of Dr. McGiynn called for cheers for that geutleman who sat in the rear of the hall. With a quiet smile Archbishop Corrigan walked on to the platform and took a seat. The applause that greeted him drowned nil attempts at hisses by tbe friends of Mr. McGiynn. When Professor Brophy. havng resumed speaking, referred to Gladstone, and said that he held the power of England in his hand there were hisses, which were Urowned. however, by cheers. In conclusion, Professor Brophy said: "We must Americanize , Irish politics, and then you will have a union of forces invincible." Brtwoen $3,000 and 64.000 was subscribed for Ireland. Theso resolutions were adopted: Resolved, That in this long-expected time, when the fruit ot mo mauy years of labor U to bo gathered and tbe reward of so many sacrifices by tho sons of Ireland is to be attained, it becomes the first duty of every friend of her cause to unite lu a final effort to hasten tho coming triumph. Resolved. That tho generosity which the reoftle of America have hown lu support of Irennd roust not he rendered unavailing hy any neglect or apathy at this Kiiprenie moment. Resolved. That for the purpose of giving effect to tho foreeoliig resolutions we prooet-d Immediately to raise funds by subscription and organization lu order to ncc uro by legitimate means for every Irish constituency an actlvo Nationalist representation. a A DKEADED WAR SHIP. Eneland's Warsprite Compared with Our Big Ships iler Formidable Armament. Special to the Imlianar-o is Journal. Washington, March 28. Much speculation has been indulged in recently by naval oflicers respecting the possibilities of a conflict in Behring sea. The vessels of tho United States navy that can bo pat into these waters within a reasonable time have already been named in theso dispatches. England of-war in the it would take weeks at most has now three mennorth Pacific, and her but a few to rendezvous her Chinese, Japanese and Australian squadrons iu those waters. Ouly one of. tbe tbrec vessels now there is regarded with dread by our naval men. but she is so larga that our heaviest cruiser would be but a pleasure craft alongside of her, and England owns a dozen just such men-of-war within easy distance of the theater of possible hostilities. The Warsprite is the name of tbe dreaded vessel. the flag-ship of the English squadron. anfS she is heavily armored with the most recent plate. She has a displacement of 8.40O tons, while our largest man of war has but 4,500. She was built in Chatham, England, in IS'0. and was refitted a year ago. Her horse-power is 10.000. and her speed over a given mile wai 10.75 knots per hour, bat her nominal speed la about fifteen. Sho will average '.'. " pounds of coal per horsepower in each hour, but can carry 1.13J tons of coal, and it,wiil take her 7,ooo miles without recoalinir. Her combined length is :S feet, and the immense draught of 27.4 feot. She, is armed with four twenty-two-ton gnns. six ein-iuch guns, eight rapid-lire and ten Gatling guns, or . Hotchkiss guns, nnd has two torpedo tubes, and four carriage for the purposo of exploding the Whitehead torpedoe. She is, beyond doubt, tho best equiped man-of-war, in the matter of guns, in tho world. Hvr sister ship, the Inipetrins, of the eatne size, has as large guns, but not quite as many of them. A commander in the navy said that the u araprite could, as he expressed it. "lick any three ships we had at once, and not have much of a tight either." The ortior two vessels in the squadron, the Champion and Melpomene would be easy prey for our ships as they are tinarmored. The latter is built of steel, bnt not thick enough to withstand the big . guns of the Baltimore or New York. Sho is rated as a third-class cruiser with a displacement of 2.M0 tons. t.0o0 horsepower, and an average speed of about fifteen knots per hour. Her draught is seventeen feet and her steaming radius is .000 miles. She is 2. 5 feet long and has a beam of 41 feet. Her guns consist of six ix-inch breech-loading rilica weighing

five tons each. ten rapid-firo and three Hotchkiss guns. The batteriers of tbe Melpomeneand Yorktownarealmost identical. Tho Baltimore would give the Warsprite the hardest tight, as she can outsail her and is very heavily armed. The Champion is superior to the Melpomene for fighting purposes, as her battery is very heavy for her class and consists of four sixinch and eight five-inch rapid-tiro gnns and six Hotchkiss guns. In addition to this she has on board twenty-one sub-marine fish torpedo projectiles that can be launched find will propel themselves on the water's edge to the objective ship. Her displacement is 2.3-0 tons. Her length, beam, speed and coal-bins aro about the same as the Melpomene.

RAID ON WALL STREET. Howell Osborne Surprises Old Timers by His Lnrk Pointers from a Woman. New York, March 28. Howell O&borno is again in a fair wny to make himself tho talk of the town. He has carried ont his uniquely-expressed ider that he had come to tbis country to take some money out of Wall 6treet. He won a turn or two. which the, old timers said was always to be expected from a man who know nothing, but trusted to hazard, but with the days his luck has kept on until now his plunging is the wonder of the street. For the past ten days he has been short on a declining market, and modest estimates of his profits mke them very closo to a quarter of a million. This afternoon be atlorded a lot of gossip for the speculators by appearing in company with a woman, whom he introduced to one of the largest brokerage houses in New street, and who apparently ban been guiding his hand in his ventures. No one seemed to know who she was though all agreed she was not Fay Tern pie ton. Osborne himself was reticent as to who she was. and of himself he would only say: "I am simply doing what I said I would, getting a little money out of Wall street. I have not got any whero near my own back yet, but I may." CRANK LIXGEMAN ARRESTED. Re Once remanded a Yanderbill'g Brains, and Now Claims to Be Helen Gould's Lover.

An Indiana Town Contains One of the Tiro Leading Manufuctorlea of the Country. Daniel Spillane, Id Popnlar Scier.ce Monthly. Tbo manufacture of brass wind-instruments in America was begun about li5, but the few bands then in tho country constituted the market to be relied npon. American bauds. and the spread of the cornet and other brass instruments among private parties which increased after the war period, helped to maintain a few small manufactories devoted to the cheaper variety, until about the great centennial exhibition year, when Henry Distiu. eon of John Distin, removed from England und began to manufacture tho justly celebrated -'Distin" instruments in the United States. The Distins had been previously in business in London for a great many years, and bad won a leading place in that sphere. Henry Disttn's arrival here practically established that Industry in this country. A notable sign of the progress going forward iu this art and industrial channel is the town of Elkhart, Ind.. the mainstay of which i a manufactory iounded by C. G. Conn, devoted to military band instruments of a high order, whioli are fast winning a leading place. Mr. Conu established himself iu business in 1H3 upon anenlarged scale after being burned out; ho had been only a few years in the field at tbe time. Tho Distin factory is situated at Williamsport, Pa. Several other smaller makers of tbe cheaper class of musical instruments are scattered throughout the country. -Thank You, Madam." New York Ledger. "it's absolutely refreshing in this artificial age to come u"on little flash of really good common i nse." remarked a practical woman, who had just come in from an outing, "and 1 really have just had one of tbe most delightful experiences of my life. I havo been around to the stores and in elevators and on street cars, and have been interviewed by beggars, aud, indeed, have come in coutact with all sorts of persons since I left tho house, and I aseuve you that my temper had grown sort of threadbare at tbo Yea. lady,' and No. lady and "If you please, lady.' aud tbe thourand and one fashions in which this nondescript word is used. "I was a dozen tiroes on tbe point of 'saying something until I reflected that it was of no earthly use to do so, when, all of a sudden, my equilibrium was perfectly restored by the conductor of a street cur. "We were just approaching the end of the trip, and the conductor, as is usually tho case, took ont his book and pencil to note down tho condition of the fare register. A little lurch threw him oft his balance, and. as he caught nt the strap, his book fell from his hand into my lap. I had observed that he was a rather well-bred person, but 1 was surprised, when I gathered up the book und banded it to him, that he raised his cap. and in a well-modulated voice, said: "Thank you, madam If he had said: Fm much obliged, lady I think I would have been almost sorry that I touched the book, but, really, that took all of the cobwebs out of my brain for the rest of tbe morning." Oolite a Difference to Deserters. Dotrolt Tribune. "I I'm! I don't like the looks of things at all' remarked Nutthall with a troubled air as he laid down the paper aud stared out the window.

Tho situation isn't half as serious as it was during tbeChilian difficulty." "Isn't it, eht Well, that's all you know about it. Yon never look beneath the surface of events." "Wll, what's the difference?" "That's a bright question now, isn't it? What's the ditterenreT Just suppose that war is declared, can't you see that from the very nature of tho cae all possibility of emigration to Canada is precluded! ' English Copperheadiaui. Eocton Journal. President Harrison is entirely right in insisting upon a renewal of tho modus Vivendi as a preliminary to arbitration. If the British Premier were acting in good faith with our government ho wonld concede to the point without delay. But he is anxious to gratify the bumptious Canadians and the Tories of tbe mother country, who would like nothing better than a sharp quarrel with the United States. The l'rebident's position is calm, dignified and patriotic He will be sustained by the inttdligont and self-respecting citizens of both of tho great parties and by all our public journals except that narrow, small and contemptible portion which habitually rubordinates patriotism to politics. "Copperheadieiu" upon this grave issue between our government and England will involve mneh the same peril and tho samo infamy as attached to it during the civil war. The Ilaacals Were Alreaay Oat.
