BLOOD SHED FOIt EI!IN\ Sir. O’Biieit’it Coachman Sliot—Ah Orange Mob. Armed with lfevolvers, Attempt the Irish Editor’s Life. Another desperate attempt upon the life of William O’Bren, the brave Irish editor, was mtde by Orangemen at Hamilton, Canada, the particulars of which are embraced in the follow, ng dispatch from tliat city: When Mr. O Brien camo forward to address the meeting there was another ovation. His voice was weak and he spoke with evident pain. "I cannot raise my \oico very hifjh to night,” he said, “and I must leave the lion's share of the talking to mv sturdy friend, Mr. Kilbride.” Then he delivered, in the same low, intense tones, a brief but scathing indictment of his •opponents in Canada. While Mr. O’Brien was talking an Orange crowd that had gathered outside the rink set np a yell like that which had startled the Kingston meeting. Chief of Police McKinnon stepped forward, and, taking the riot act from his pocket, ominously explained its provisions to the crowd. He was cheered by a few but groaned at by many. The stem attitude of the authorities, however, had a wholesome effect upon the mob and they gradually melted aw ay. A telegram of sympathy from a number of Mr. O’Brien’s Parliamentary colleagues having been read, Mr. Kilbride made an eloquent statement of the wrongs of the Luggacurran tenants. Mr. O’Brien left the skating-rink a few moments before the meeting was concluded. He emerged through a side exit on McNab street in company with Messrs. Kilbride, McMahon, and lioche. Here a mob of young Orangemen had gathered, and as Mr. O'Brien and his friends made their appearance commenced hooting and yelling at them. The latter immediately entered a close carriage which was in waiting and drove down McNab street, followed by the mob. Beside the driver eat a Nationalist named T. P. O’Brien. As the carriage dashed out into Market Square there were a number of firecrackers let off, followed almost immediately by several discharges of revolvers. The driver, John Nelson, at the same instant turned to O’Brien, exclaiming: "O’Brien, I am shot!” Nelson dropped the reins, and, on examination, it was found ho had been struck in the left wrist by a bullet. T. P. O’Brien seized tho reiUH, and the whip was plied fast, tout the sharp ring of the revolvers continued, ©ight shots in all being fired. One grazed O’Brien’s hat, and another struck the panel of the carriage. As they reached the door of the hotel the crowd, which was close to them, fired a volley of rotten oggs, followed by curses and groans. The police, who were drawn up in front of the hotel, had a sharp tussle with the paob in trying to keep them back. McMahon struggled through the window of the carriage, as the door could not be opened, and with a revolver in his hand covered O’Brien’s retreat into the hotel. Nelson was removed to the hospital, whore the bullet was extracted from his wrist by Dr. Jas. White, who pronounces the wound a sorious one. Flashes from the Wires.
