Neb., Feb. a President FitzSerald, of the Irish National League, toay issued tho following address to that organization: To the Officers and Members of the Irish National League, of America: Since tho inception of the present Irish movement, now uearing Its hour of final triumph or soYt. defeat, the Irish exiles and their children In America have been the chief support and mainstay of the national struggle. The continuous financial assistance rendered from tho United Ftates and Canada to the people and leaders of . Ireland has been the result of organization. Tho munificent aggregate created by the many contributory streams of Irish-American generosity could never have been attained had the move nient depended on the uncertainty of spasmodic local action. Our enemies have recognized the tremendous force of organized effort as a most potent aid to the Irish cause, and they are now exercising all their ingenuity and utilizing their Immense resources to destroy and nullify its inttuence by trying to create disorganization and distrust among the friends of Ireland. eecreterviee money is being expended and subsidized agents are employed to scatter inuendoes, to make fal.o allegations, and, by every artifice, to disseminate slanders in order lea. Be the Impelling motive what it may, a hostile press is belnc utilized in this country to supplement the unscrupulous, but defeated, efforts of the London Times to discredit not only the national officers of the American League, but the trusted and able leaders of the movement lu Ireland, whom, till now, you have so loyally obeyed and so freneronsly supported. The Chicago Times of tho 2d Inst says editorially: "Hold no convention is the sdvice to the executive of the National League in America from the gentlemea over the sea, but 'send us more money As to tho money part, that has been the cry from time Immemorial, fcince 1S9B the one apency of the league alone has collected a quarter of a million of money, and the demand Is for more. Men who are living aa members of the British Parliament on funds raised in Amer- . lea, and living on the fat of the land, or gossip does them great Injustice, will naturally cry with tho horse-leech's daughter, 'give, give.' In the Chicago Herald ot tho saniQ day we read: The programme of the Ieague on both sides of the ocean is identical and unmistakable. More funds and less investigation' is theory everywhere. No convention for the next three years, and Farnell wants none for the present. Nothing is so delightful to the freehanded patriots whom Ireland sends to this -country as to lay aside their earnings until they accumulate enough to buy a draft, and then blow tbe whole amount into the hands of a lot of irresponsible professional agitators for unknown purposes." v. " Brother Irishmen, is not this the language of the London Times and the Tory organs, that for generations have been eplttlng their contempt ; upon every effort of the Irish people to ameliorate the condition of their country. Does it not seem as if the Plggott-Flanngan hirelings, baffled In England, had transferred their vile operations to America! Iu this emergency we rely uion your manhood, your devotion, your common sense not to be misled by Salisbury's reptile press, his subsidized priest revilers, and those stormy petrels of faction who are now tryine to demoralize your ranXs. Best assured that the lgneminous defeat of the London Times will he the fate of its puny Imitators on this side of the Atlantic. The time has come to appeal to our better nature ami to have confidence in ourselves. The Irish people in Ireland are setting us a grand example. They are conducting themselves with a zeal, a dignity and a discipline unprecedented in the ennals of the human race. Generous as your contributions have been, noble as have been your sacrifices and magnificent your efforts, they are far from equaling, under like circumstances, the manifestation of these qualities by the people of Ireland. Mr. xitzgerald then recounts the contributions from the Irish peasantry to the tenants' defense fund ana their inability to raise the necessary amount to continue the tight against the landlords. He then savs: vVill we refuse them succor in this their most generous sacrifice on the altar of liberty! Most of us have had cruel experience of the iniqultlous system of land tenure in Ireland, and no Instructive words of mine are needed to apprise you of the crucial exigency of the hour. I look to yon confidently to move to the support of your kith and kindred In their gallant strucgle against the famine-breeding system of Irish landlordism. Looking back upon their noble past, what think you would not the Irish people do for' us were ever situations reversed! Bomember with what promptness poor starving Ireland contributed from her poverty to the relief of the stricken victims of tho Johnstown Hood, (iratltude Is a virtue indigenous to the Irish disposition, and indwelling iu their Irih hearts. The mile that you contribute will be your bread cast upon the waters, of which you may securely anticipate a return. Therefore I exhort jou iu your individual and associated caSacitle to make one more offort for Irish freeom. Let every branch of the league reassert and bestir itself, and let each individual determine to do his part. Your Indefatigable treasurer has frhown to the world a manlfot of honesty and economy that dhanns criticism and enlists enthusiasm. We need not assure you that your every contribution will be faithfully delivered to Its rightful destination from his clean and trusted hands. Be not dismayed by your limited capacity to contribute. Tno 25 cents have been as faithfully entered upon his books as the $10,000 remittances. Anonymous contributions have been Impossible to answer, but have been no less carefully credited, orthiaour auditing committee are unlmieachable witnesses. If, therefore, there lives in your hearts a love for Ireland; if a generous inspiration still animates you for the Xeople at home; If the brave traditions of vour name and race still abide with you, of all of which I have no doubt, I feel sure you will not flag in tho contest, now that the closing tight is upon us. A general election in Great Britain is Impending. With ua are marshaled the Liberal hosts of England, Wales and Scotland, led by the -grand old man." who! marvelous vigor is sustained by the Inspired consciousness of coming victory. 1'arnell. the sagacious and unswerving leader, maintains unavailable his touch upon the minds and hearts of our devoted people sacrifices will bo demanded of them and us to meet this supreme emergency so as to preserve and even strengthen the integrity of Irish representation to tbe BritUh Parliament. Two years at the mot, and jKsIbly two months, will bring us face to face with the crisis. In this, the last ordeal that your patriotism may 1 called upon to undergo, Me, ourselves, the liberal masses of Great Britain, and the jeople of Ireland confidently rely upon you. Therefore, I entreat you, as honest, loyal ujforters of the cause of Ireland, eschewing all ocal issues. Ignoring all distinctions of Amercau national politics, to rally lu your Integrity nd anorlate in your niUht, nnd again give uh practical evidence ot your devotion to-tho dear old laud. All remittances sent to the national treasurer from branches of the league now in existenco or that mav lo formed, and all subscription from Individuals will bo directly acknowledged, and duly credited to the contributors. - assembling cl the national convention wo

have so anxiously desired Is presently postponed by Mr. Parnell and tho Irish leaders. In view of this postpone rut nt and for the transaction of important business, tho national executive committee is sumnjoned to meet at tit. Louis on

Wednesday, April 1, 1890. Jvus FiTZ 1TZGERALD, President. The American avy Abroad. PortMaiion-, Minorca, Jan. 25.- On tho nfternoou of the 20th tho American squadron of K volution left Cartagena and proceeded to this port. It was the intention of the admiral to land the battalions of tho different vessels for lield exercise, but having failed to seenro permission from the Spanish authorities, the scheme has, unfortunately, fallen through. At Cartagena low life and wretchedness aro every where apparent, and there is not a respectable building in the place. A visit to tho arsenal does not inspire enthusiasm in tho naval mind. It contains a line rope-walk and plants for the manufacture of projectiles and the repair of iron-work, but there is nothing which will conifare favorably with similar establishments n our own navy-yards. From tho top of the old fortress, built on a commanding position in tho center of tho city, there is a line view of the surroundings of Cartagena. Hut one looks on nothing but uncultivated land and bleak, low hills. A walk around the old walls is interesting on account of the ancient guns which are still mounted two of them with the muzzles blown olf. The harbor and modern fortiiications are of tho best, and the surrounding country is rich iu various minerals. There are between 00 and 400 mines in active operation. There are few evidences of prosperity or enterprise. - After a pleasant run of forty-two hours. at an average speed of eight knots, we anchored in the harbor of Port Mahon, capital of Minorca. The harbor is finely sheltered and the aspect of tho country pleasant. The buildings aro beautifully white, and tho scene is refreshing, after the barrenness of Catagena. It was here, it will be remembered, that a commodore's son made the terrific leap from tho main truck of tho "Old Ironsides' to the blue depth below. Our own Farragut's father was born eomo four miles from here, and tho Admiral himself visited hero on his last memorable cruse in the Franklin. Tho ovation ho received oiiRht not to ho forgotten by Americans, nnd is not, if we are to judge from the hearty manner our boys treat inhabitants and old boatmen. The squadron has had plenty of drill since its arrival here, and its crews, at tho present moment, will favorably compare with the best of any navv. Yesterday, when the general signal, "Clear ships for action," was run aloft on the flagship, it was impossible not to admire the seamanlike manner in which the different evolutions were executed. Down came top-gal-laut masts, yards, boats, stanchions, and ginger-bread work with astonishing rapidity, and in thirty minutes the ships had assumed a fierce and business-like aspect with guns pointed for concentrated lire, and torpedo launches surrounding them liko satellites. In the afternoon tho general signal "Arm, and away all boats for cutting out," was hoisted, and every boat in tho squadron was armed and equipped, and proceeded alongsido the Hag-ship for inspection by the commander-in-chief. Admiral Walker is very strict concerning boat-drill, and all arrangements connected with it have to be carried oat in the most thorough manner. One of the principal objects of the squadron of evolution, he maintains, is to build up and perfect a system of drill suitable for the mighty weapons of the day a scientific system, and, in addition, to find substitutes for the obsolete spar and sail-drills, which shall maintain in an equal degree the tone and temper of the men, their morals and physical vigor. It is obvious cundrill, in itself, will not accomplish this, therefore hardy exercise in boats is resorted to. IJoomers Ready to Move. Ciiamberlain, S. D., Feb. 8. Tho crowd continues to pour iuto the city in anticipation of the opening of the reservation, and excitement is at fever heat. They are all in readiness to movo at a moment's notice. This morning a party headed by Tom Hall attempted to cross the river and establish homes in the bottom on the west side of the river, but they were promptly escorted back by Indian Agent Anderson, with tho assistance of his Indian police. The Sioux bill gives tho Chicago, Milwaukee fc St. Paul Railroad Company 640 ceres of land ou this bottom for railroad purposes, and while the tract contains much more ground than this there -will be an immense rush for the tract for town-sito purposes. A large number of persons held a meeting this afternoon for the purpose of perfecting a plan for acquiring title to the valuable tract by town-site entry. Many others will attempt to homestead it, and an interesting ecramblo will take placo when the proper moment arrives. Many settlers have constructed small shanties and loaded them on wagons, together with provisions and supplies of various kinds, and when tbe land is thrown upon the market they will only have to tiud a choice quarter upon which to plant it. Every detail that can possibly bo executed, iu order to expedite prompt action is being carried out, and some mighty sharp work will be seen when the proclamation is issued. A hard right will also be made for tho town site immediately north of the city in the" Crow creek reservation. This tract was thrown upon the market by executive order of President Arthur, but later withdrawn from the publio domain by President Cleveland. The land immediately adjoins the city on the north, and is practically a part of Chamberlain. When previously placed upon the market a party of town-siters made settlement simultaneously with tho residence of Captain King as a homesteader. The present Sioux bill now ?:ives this land to tho Milwaukee railroad or railroad purposes, and a warm threecornered fight will be made for possession. The crowd Is reasonably orderly, but frequent reports of the issuance of the proclamation causes great excitement. The weather is favorable, the ground being Perfectly clear of snow, and as the ridge of ico in tho Missouri remains firm a crossing can be easily made. The troops ordered by Agent Anderson have not vet arrived. United States Marshal Fry will arrive to-morrow. Every day s delay but increases the crowd greatly and adds to the possibilities for bitter strife when the land is finally opened to settlement. The Mihvuakee road also is not idle,- but is bringing in largo quantities of material for tho purpose of increasing the terminal facilities in this city. They have also chartered tho steamer Last Chance, and ordered her remodeled into a transfer to be used as boon as the bridge of ice gives way. Church and State In DrazlL Rio de Janeiro, Jan. 15. The following is the decree, dated Jan. 7, for tho separation of church und state: Article 1. Itoth the federal and State authorities are prohibited from making laws or regulations, or performing adiutnistratlve acts for the establishment or prohibition of any religion, aud for makimr distinction on account of religious and philosophical beliefs and opinions between inhabitants of this country of services whose cost is defrayed by the publio treasury.

O'Shea's Reasons for Asking a Divorce. London, Feb. 8. Captain O'Shea has emerged from behind tho wall of silence regarding the grounds for his suit for divorce against his wife, and has permitted someof his intimate friends to hear his story from his own lips. Six mouths ago, he says, tho conduct of his wife and her paramour becamo ao llagraut that he was compelled to interfere aud exact from Mrs. O'Shea a promise that she would not seo Mr. Parnell again. Relying upon the sincerity of this promise, he gave himself no further uneasiness until ho made the discovery that tho promise had not been kept on Dec IX). A few months subsequent to tho foregoing understanding with Mrs. O'Shea, her sou paid her an uuexpected visit at her apartments in London. Jieing awure of the promiao she had made tolas father, young

O'Shea was astounded to find in his mother's apartments wearing apparel and other articles belonging to Mr. Parnell, which the lady had evidently not taken time to conceal. Young O'Shea began pitching the effects of the Irish leader out of the window in a most unceremonious manner, and was stopped by his mother, between whom and her son there ensued a painful scene of crimination and defiance. The son promptly informed his father of his discovery, and the latter then, thoroughly convinced of the hopelessness of his wife's infatuation, began the legal proceedings which are soon to be tried in the courts. A Burglars Fruitless Crime. ¶ Plattsburg. N. Y., Feb. 8.— Ransom Floyd and wife were clubbed and shot by a burglar last night at Westport. Mrs. Floyd is dead aud her husband cannot recover. The burglar hoped to obtain $2,550. the proceeds of the sale of the farm. ¶ Further details of the burglary and murder at Westport, as told by a prominent resident of Westport who arrived here tonight from the scene of the tragedy, are as follows: Ransom Floyd, a respected and wealthy farmer, aged seventy-three years, who resides with his wife, aged sixty-six, two miles north of Westport, had prepared to retire at about 8:30 last evening. Mrs. Floyd sat reading the family Bible with her husband, at the side of the kitchen stove. Mr. Floyd was suddenly startled by the furious barking of the watch-dog, which was chained at the barn. Before he had time to see what the trouble was or to guard himself, he saw a man with a bandanna handkerchief fastened over the lower part of his face enter the kitchen door. The burglar demanded all the money that was in the house, aud threatened to shoot the aged couple unless the demand was complied with. Mr. Floyd refused to give up his money, and was struck with a club on the back of the head. The burglar also fired two shots at him. He became unconscious from the effects of the blow, and remembers no more of what occurred. On regaining consciousness he found his wile lying dead on the floor, in a pool of blood. There were several gashes on her head, and she had been shot once in the body. The Bible from which she had been reading was still clasped in her hands. It was evident that she had not had time to protect herself or to flee from the murderer. The house had been ransacked, but nothing had been taken. The burglar had probably become terrified by his awful deed, and had hurried away without securing and [any] booty. There were two certified checks, amounting to $2,275, and $275 in cash left untouched in a bureau drawer. Mr. Floyd had received the money yesterday morning for farm produce and wood, and it is thought the burglar and murderer knew of this, and expected to obtain a large amount of money. There is not the slightest clew to the murderer. Floyd will probably recover, thongh his wounds are considered very dangerous on account of his advanced age. . ———— An Express Company's Suit Dismissed. ¶ Chicago, Feb. 8.— Judge Gresham to-day dismissed the suit of Thomas Platt, president of the United States Express Company, against Sherman B. Chapman for $14,000. The suit is a noted one. Chapman was employed by the express company at Ottawa, Ill., and in the course of his duties came into possession of a package containing 14,000 in currency. Before Chapman had delivered the money to the consignee, he says, be was held up and robbed. An investigation was at once made by the company, which had to make the loss good to the owners of the money, and at the end of a rigorous examination Chapman was made defendant in a suit for S14.000. brought by the express company in the federal court. Judgment was rendered for the plaintiffs and Chapman was lodged in jail, where, for a long time, the company regularly paid his board. He secured his release finally on a technicality. In the meantime his lawyers had appealed to the United States Supreme Court, which reversed the decision of the federal court and remanded the case. When the matter was reached by Judge Gresham, to-day, the attorneys for the express company entered a motion to be allowed to amend the declaration. The motion was denied, and on motion of Chapman's attorney Judge Gresham dismissed the case. Chapman has pending in the State courts a heavy suit for damages against the express company and its officers for false arrest and imprisonment. Tinner Fanz Interviewed. ¶ Louisville, Feb. 8.—A special to the Courier-Journal from Lexington, Tenn., gives an interview with H. J. Fanz, the alleged victim of violence at Aberdeen, Miss., and about whom so much has been said in the United States Senate recently. Fanz says: "I am working at my trade here. My former home was Fort Wavrie.

Ind.; have lived in the South since 1878; J went to Aberdeen last October. A few days after the death of Jefferson Davis, in ' December. 1 went up on the roof of a building one morning to work and fonnd a ropo which I untied. Did not know then it was the oue which held the efiigy of Secretary Proctor of tho ifavy, which tho people had hung. When 1 came 'down at noon I learned that it uad been reported that I had said no efiigy should" ho unng while I was in town. Will McDonald, a bricklayer, asked me about it, and struck me across the nose and eve, inflicting a slight wound. 1 concluded to leave tne town. Tho Mayor came and asked me to stay, promising me protection. Citizens also asked me not to leave. I went off on the night train. I learned McDonald came to the depot to talk to me, but did not see him. I did not think much of it. and see no cause for all this fuss which has been raised. I am a hot-headed Democrat." Fanz has had as yet no communication from Attorney-general Miller, nor any other authorities. He says he don't want to hear any more about it. motoric Names Recalled. Baltimore, Feb. 8. The American of Sunday will have the following special dispatch from Towson. Md.: Richard Caton McTavish, Andita Carroll McTavish, infants, by their guardiau, Mary Gilmor, filed a bill in equity here to-day against Charles Carroll McTavish, for the sale and partition of certaiu real estate in Baltimore county. Joseph Whyto is counsel for the plaintiffs, and S. Teacklo Wall is for defendant. This property is claimed under the will of Right Honorable Elizabeth, Dowager Baroness Stallord, of St Leonards-on-tho-Seain the county of Sussex, En glaud, one of tho daughter's of Richard and Mary Caton, of Baltimore, and widow of George William, Lord Stallord, a peer of Great Britain. Lady Stallord, nee Elizabeth Caton, was one of the three Misses Caton, the daughters of Richard Caton, who married Elizabeth, the eldest daughter of Charles Carroll, of Carrollton. They were 'The Three American Graces" who fascinated two continents as no other sisters ever did. All gained titles through matrimony. The eldest. Marianne, when a widow, married the Marquis of Wellesley, a brother of the Duke of Wellington; Elizabeth Caton married Baron Stallord, and Louisa Katherino Caton, the third sister, married first Sir Toltou Bathurst Bervey, Baronet, and subsequently, in 1828, Francis Godolphin D'Arcy, seventh Duke of Leeds. Crusaders to lie Prosecuted. L-vriiKOP, Mo., Feb. 8. Sixty ladies, who are interested in the movement recently inaugurated against the saloons and keepers of liquor places, held a meeting hero this afternoou. at which it was decided to send a committee of fifty to Plattsbnrg. Mo., to aid the ladies of the latter town in a similar crusade against the liquor-dealers there. To-day the saloon-keepers entered suit against Charles P. Jones for $1,000 damages. Jones is supposed to be one of the leaders of the movement. The prosecuting attorney btated to-day that he would enter criminal 6iiit against all the ladies who destroyed the liquor yesterday, and not only against them, but also against their husbands and brothers, who eucoura ged them. The trouble began in this wav: On Jan. 17 John P. Brooks was seriously stabbed in a drunVen row. Mrs. Brooks said to a neighbor, so goes the story, that, with assistance, she would destroy all the liquor in the town. After discusoing the matter a petition was circulated setting forth the facts aud asking tho assistance of all good men and women in the labor. This petition received the signatures of eighty-live persons, including the most prominent of the town. Preparing for Light-Hour Strikes. New Yoiik, Feb. 8. The executive council of the American Federation of Labor met to-day at their hall. No. 21 Clinton place, to make preparations for the inauguration of the eight-hour working day on May 1. A large number of communications from auiliated organizations were read, all of which gave "assurances that strikes will be ordered unless the eighthour system is established. It was said that the financial condition of the federation was aucU that it could maintain tho

stand to be taken to a successful termination. Tbe division on which tho organization shall take the initiative was deferred nntil next month. Vice-president Martin favored designating the iron industry for this pnrposo, and selecting Pittsburg as tho ceutral point, while President Gompers thought that the first strike should be among the members of the building trades' organizations in this city. . Montana Senator Captured. Helena, Mont., Feb. 8. Senator Becker, the Democratic absentee arrested at Miles Cit3 yesterday, was brought into Helena on a special train to-night, at 10:S0 o'clock, by Under Sheriff Parker. They should have arrived on the regular afternoon express, but when Bozeman was reached the Democrats had Parker arrested for kidnaping, on a warrant issued by a justice of the .peace. Parker did not feel disposed to obey the warrant, but the sheriff who served it was accompanied by a crowd of a dozen men, who would probably have taken tho prisoner away had he resisted. He went to court and easily gave bonds for his appoaranco next week. A special train was then mado up to bring Parker and Becker to Helena. It made the run of one hundred miles in two hours aud a half. At supper at Bozeman, four men attempted to take the prisoner away, but they were unsuccessful. Becker was brought into the Senate, which was in session, and tho question whether or not he should be fined for contempt is now being considered by the committee on Jrivileges and elections. The prosence of Jeckor makes a quorum, and the Scnato will probably sit all night and nass laws, as it is expected other Democratic absentees will be present Monday to block proceedings. Trying to End tbe Iowa Dead-Lock. "Des Moines, la., Feb. 8.There were eighteen pairs in tho House this afternoon. Alter taking six ballots the House adjourned tiirJ:::0 Mondiy. Tho Democrats to-day submitted a proposition to the Republicans. The Democrats ask for the Sneaker, and give to tho Republicans tvothirds of nil the other ollices; they give tho Republicans the first choice of the committees, but etipulatn that thev shall not choose both the judiciary and the suppression of intemperance. The proposition contains eight provisions, tho main ones as above and the remainder providing for tho settlement of minor matters. This evening the Republicans submitted to the Democrats a counter-proposition, asking that the Republicans be given the speakership and tho Democrats twothirds of the minor offices; tho Republicans to take the first choice of tho committees, the Democrats the next two, and that the remainder to be equally divided. The other provisions are about the same as tho Democratic proposition. The matter will be discussed privately between now and Monday, aud caucuses will likely reach an agreement before the session Monday afternoon. Grand Pacific Hotel to He Torn Down. Chicago, Feb. 8. Tho Grand Pacific, one of the finest hotels in America, was sold to-day to Levi Z. Leiter for 840,000, and it is to " be torn down. It cost $800,000 to erect it. Tho purchase price includes not only the hotel building, but the leasehold of tho ground on which it stands. The curious feature of the transaction is that the great structure is in its prime, and is a model hotel, with patronago overflowing. Periodical appraisement of the real estate, as a basis of the ground rent, is what brought about the peculiar sale. Tho decision of the appraisers is that the hotel, to permit adequate income from the land, must at once be replaced by a tall business block. Mr. Leiter was the owner of the ground, and after a consideration of the intricate question of equities, he was awarded tho entire property on payment of 840.000. Tho appraisers were Marshall Field. Albert Kop and John Do Koven, three well-known businees men.

; Terrific Gas-Works Explosion. t St. Paul, Minn.t Feb. 8. At 6 o'clock this evening an explosion in the washing and Condensing-room of the coal-gas department of one of the buildings of the St Paul Gas-light Company resulted in the death of Daniel Desmond and tho injury of Martin Curran, Chris Conley, Michael Mahoney and J. Simons. The force of the explosion was terrific, the buildings for four blocks being shaken by it, the building itVoll being wrecked, and the report of the explosion being heard for a mile or moreawaj'. Just what caused the explosion is not known. The injured were taken to the hospital, where their injuries were dressed, but none were seriously hurt. Desmond, the man killed, was tho comrally's street foreman, had been in its employ since 1850, when he helped-iu the yuilding of the first works, and at one time officiated for several months as superintendent. There was no shortago in the gas supply to-night, the tanks being well-filled, nnd no inconvenience resulted to conBumers Ten thousand dollars will cover the financial loss. . Fight Between Brothers-in-Law. Chicago, Feb. 8. A sensational affray occurred this evening on Clark street,. in front of the Chicago Opera-house, between two men, W. P. Belden and his brother-in-law, J. H. Wing. A divorce suit has embittered the pair, and they were excitedly discussing the matter when Wing drew a knife and cut a three-inch gash in Ik I den's throat, then made a lunge at Belden'sback. inflicting a dangerous wound. The scene caused great excitement on the 6treet. , Wing sprang at his victim and made a desperate efiort to cut his throat. There was a brief struggle, and this saved Belden'a life, as Wing could use his knife only once more before he was seized by the bystanders and held until tho arrival of an officer. The street was filled with people on their way to the theater, and the bloody act they witnessed caused several ladies to faint. Belden may possibly recover. The Lottery Bill May Be Defeated. Bismarck, N. D.; Feb. 8. This was potion day in tne House, and 1,434 persons presented petions against the lottery bill, while l,87o indorsed it. A resolution was introduced and adopted for the appointment of a committee to investigate the ru-' mors of bribery in connection with tho lottery bill. Tbe lottery bill did not reach its second reading and was not referred, which delay looks like weakening. It is conildertly claimed by the opponents of the measure that it is daily losing ground, and its friends are afraid to press it. There are not two-thirds for it in the house, and Senator Win ship, tho leader of the opposition, claims three accessions to the Senate minority, making eleven in that body sufficient to defeat its passage over tho Governor's veto. Murderer's Remains Found. 'Denver, Col., Feb. 8. Oii tho mornlngof Jan. 23, while walking along one of the principal streets of this city in company with two other young ladies.
