Sheriff Lewis, of Gibson County, Indiana, arrived in the city last night and brought the news of a Tery sensational affair naDpening in Crawford County Sunday. A fourteen-year-old daughter oi John Flannegan, near Boston, that county, was carried away and cruelly and foully assaulted and outraged. At 10 o'clock Sunday morning, Walter and Charles Daria, brothers, of bad repute, visited the Flannegan residence, which is situated eight miles from this place, in Perry County, and finding the family away from home. Bare the girl and her two Grethen, they told the Flannegan boys that some stray stock was breaking into the farm a mile away from the house. The teoya started over to see about the supposed stray and obsteperous stock Ko sooner had they started to look after the supposed stray stock than the Barls boys carried the young daughter of Flannegan to a neighboring wood and there the outrage, too foul for description, was enacted. A handkerchief uras placed oyer her mouth, and the girl was tied to a tree while her person was violated. After this most fiendish assault she was beaten with a stick of wood and left for dead. When her two brothers returned home a search was made for the isaing sister. An all night hunt failed to discover her, but on Monday morniag some of the neighbors found tne girl, alMost dead, tied to a tree in ths wood. She Stated that after the foul assault upon her the two men pointed pistols at her and threatened to shoot her if she made any outcry during the night. ' The two Paris boys, who made the assault, were foand in the woods near the suffering girl on Monday morning. One acsount states that both of them were taken to a sapling sear by and lynched after they had confer sed the deed. Another states that "Walter Daria escaped, bat that just after dark his brother Charles was found concealed under a house, and was dragged out by the infuriated moD. He was tsrritisd and quaking with fear. He was securely strapped to a horse and driren back to the spot where he had ravished the girl. He begged for mercy, but his cries ware unheeded. He was taken from the horse, his naads tied behind him, and was giren two minutes in which to pray, lie arailed himself of the time allowed, and at the expiration of it a stout sapling was bent down, a short rope tied to the top, with the ther end about Daris' neck. Six men held down the tree, and when it was released it äew back into position, and Daria was jerked twenty feet into the air. The force threw him over the too of the tree, and as the rope brought up short on the other side, his neck was broken. The body was rid died with bullets by tbe crowd, and was allowed to hang there until yesterday morning, when it was cut down by his father and given burial. A DliMtrons Break. Acroka, May 31. This town is greatly agitated oyer the disappearance of Will A. Greer and developments indicating that he is one of the meanest rascals on record. He held the confidence of the entire community, and returned it by robbing widows, orphans, friends and even his own family. The church was also among the victims. None with moaey escaped. Greer has been a prominent member of the Dearborn County bar, and commanded a large Practice in that and adjoining counties. Ie is now the rice-president of the Indiana State Board of Agriculture, and has frequently been secretary of the Aurora Fair. He possed an extensive acquaintance and had a large influence throughout the State. Married into one of the best families in Southeastern Indiana, he occupied an euviabla position in the community where he was bom and raised. But his rretige ij cone, his father's family financially ruined, a charming wile abandoned to her regrets, his friends humiliated and he a wanderer from home and a fugitive from the wrath cf those he has robbed and wrongs 1. Eich day develops additional acts of his rascality, and shows how consummate and heartlets tare been many f his transactions. Tfce extent of his swindling and defalcations is said to run f ram $20,000 to $30,000, and it will tike a thorough investigation to ascertain fully the amount of money he has made way with. Regarded as an able attorney, as well as re'iable and trustworthy, te possessed the confidence of his clitnta and the public to a wonderf al degree, Dd had been elected solicitor for five different building associations the Star, the Cresctnt, the Center, the Mutual and the Fidelity all of whicä he has made serve h'm profitably, and seme of which will fore their losses by the thousands, tuough in some instances it will be bis boüdfcmen who will hare to liquidate for his tfcortsge. A LC Ampntatad With a Razor. New Albas y. May 31. Bernard Green resides with his family four miles from Btfnnettsrille, Clark County, and twelve miles from this city. On Thursday last Mr. Green's six-year-old son was run over by a log-wagon and his right leg crashed fmost to a pulp below the knee. It was r.vident from the first that it would be necessary to amputate the injured member. After rainly endearoring to secure the services of a surgeon, Mr. Green decided to perform the operation himself. He had no instrument with the exception of a razor and a small meat saw. Placing his son on the kitchen table, he began his difficult task of cutting o9 his leg. After remoring the bruised rJesh he sawed off the bone. Then carefully washing away the blood, he tied the ligaments together with silk threads, and drawing down the loose Bkin, he pulled it tightly over the bone. He then bound no the injured part as best he could, and, placing the boy in a spring wagon, drore to Jeffurson rille with him. He arrired there late Sunday night, and immediately sailed upon Dr. Tay ton at his residence. The journey was necessarily a slow one. on accomt of the boy's critical condition, but he had by this time somewhat recovered from the shock. Dr. Pay ton, on examining the boy, decided that he would lire, and that the operation wis remarkably well performed, considering the rude instruments with which it was accomplished. Mr. Green returned home with his son this erenlng. Dlaaatrons Fir at koala. Bhoals, June 2. About 1 o'clock this morning fire broke out in Mohr's block, the building containing Lehrbarger's clothing store, the Tribune office and Crim's dental parlor. The building was of wood and rery dry, and was soon a mass of flames, which communicated to the buildings on either side, taking Miner's business house and Motoinger'a drug store on the Bouth, including the local office of Andrews' School Furniture Company and the law office of J. T. Rogers, and on the north the raillnery establishment of Mrs. B. Stephens and Wallace'! art gallery, barber shop, restaurant and residence ox John Arnold.
Mohr's large busiaess hause and the Martia County Democrat office were coaaiderably damaged. The Tribune office is entirely destroyed, with only $400 insurance. The loss is large lor a small town. The buildings destroyed, except Arnold's residence and restaurant, were old wood buildings, whose value is variously estimated. The insurance is not sufficient to cover half the loss, llotsinger had no insurance cd his building, Miller only $500 and Möhr $6,300. The goods were in part Bared but greatly damaged. The insurance on them may probably cover the loss. There is no quts'ion cf its being the work of an incendiary as there was not eren a light in the buildings where the fire occurred during the day or erening. Lightning Strikes Twice in the Same Place. Vikcbkhhs, June 1. The popular superstition that lightning does not strike twice in the same place was controrerted yesterday, when the forked fire of heaven descended and struck the residence of George W. Johnson, two miles south of this city. The electric current demolished a large chimney, run down the weatherboarding and finally on the inside of the houss, setting fire to the carpet in the sitting-room. Mrs. Johnson, her three children and her sister-in-law. the only inmates of the house at the time for the nonce, were rendered insensible. Nineteen years ago, almost to a day, this same house and the very identical chimney were struck by lightning, with results similar to those above recounted.
A Ghost on the Slake,' Bsakil, May 3t. Some nights ago the residence of Dr. John Williams, near Bowl ing Green, was raided persistently by borg lars, who carried on their work in a most uncommon manner, creating in the minds of the family and neighbors the impression that the house waa haunted. In fact, the ghostly presence was the first consideration the theft was discovered later. One night the Doctor's grandson. El, aged about eighteen years, suddenly disappeared. At the same time several hundred dollars of the doctors money was missing, and the conclusion was at once reached that the young man was connected with the mysterious manifestations that had been seen and heard about the premises for some time past. Efforts to caDture him have proved fruitless thus far. His grandfather, who is quite wealthy, hes, however, stricken his name out of his will, in whiclrhe had been remembered quite liberally. An Old Mnsket Goes Off. Fort Wayne, May 31 Last evening Mrs. Henry Stellhorn, living" three miles south of the city, upon opening her barndoor was horrified to find her young nephew, Willie Stellhorn, lying on the door insensible. Three fingers of the left hand were gone and a portion of the thumb, and he was bleeding from a wound in the head. The lad was brought to this city, and, not until after the amputation bad been performed by a surgeon, was he able to tell how he was injnred. He says that an old musket that had been loaded to kill rats stood near the door, and that it fell down as he entered, and was discharged, the shot grazing his head and taking off his fingers. He fell senseless, and remained in a dazed condition for two hours. When the amputation was being performed, he evinced no pain and but little interest in the operation. It is a strange case. Hall as ltic fig-eon Eggs. Evaksvillx, May 31. Evansrille was visited at noon to-day by a terrific rain and hail storm, lasting about an hour. The hail stones were about the size of a pigeon eirgand the heavy rain flooded the streets. Trees were blown down and property to the smoant of several thousand dollars was damaged. It is feared that the fruit crop in this section has been fearf ally damaged. Died inOreat Agony. BLrrrroir, June 2 Francis B. 8now, of this city, while falling a forest tree, was crushed by the tree, which broke his jaw, callar bone, right arm, side and right thigh. He died in the afternoon in great agony. He was a comrade of Lew Dai ley Post, No. 31, and took part in the services on Decora tion Day, and will be buried with the honors of war. Minister Baina-Two Tears Cbawfordsville, June 2. Hon. Bayless W Hanna, United States Minister to the Argentine Republic, has arrived. His son Joan is lying at the point of death from consumption, and Minister Hanna returned almc-t solely to Bee hftn die. Andrew J. Selby was sentenced to the penitermary for two years for fraudulently obtaining a note. The case was brought here on a change) of venue from Parke County, where Selby and his partner had hten engaged in the roof-paint swindles. Selby's home is in Plymouth, Ind. He was giren two trials, with the same resuVt in both casas. ISratM Outrage uu Women. C0RYD05, June 3. Thursday night another outrage was committed by the 'Regulators." A mob of twenty-fire masked men went to the bouse of a man named Lynch, seven miles west of here, and took Mrs. Lnclnda Lynch and her daughter Mary out of their beds. Old man Lynch was also routed out and covered with pistols, and compelled to stand quiet while the mob took the two women out into the front yard and stripped them to the waist. The Regulators then took switches and whipped the two females until they fainted from the pain. Mrs. Lucinda Lynch is in a delecate condition, and the results of the brutal treatment may be extremely serious. Tbe mob claim that the two women are lewd characters, who out to be driven out of the country. The outrage is condemned in unmeasured terms by the lawabiding citizens of the community. The Old Kllzora Gate Again. Ahpersojt, June 3. About four years ago the descendant of Georee W. and James Kilcore, of Franklin County, instituted suit against David Kilgore and his brothers and sisters, in this county, claiming an interest in the estate of Judge Dand Kilgore, valued at about $10.000. The evidence was heard at tbe last term of court, and to-day Judge Mo gave a verdict agaiost tbe plaintiffs. The plain ti Hi' claim was based on the statement that they were the children of Judce Kligore by a woman whom he married years ago, but never recognized as his wife. There was considerable romance connected with the case. Gone Without Saying- Good-By. Greerbbcrg. Jnne 3 Henry Walker, the stylish and handsome proprietor of the Seitz House, baa gone. He turned up missing to-day with little but debts behind him. He went to Cincinnati recently and sent back a letter to his clerk that he would come no more, but was bound for the tar East. Walker, who is about thirty-five years old, came from Aurora, where his father lives, a wealthy and respected cltl zen. Some months ago his wife, who is a handsome, energetic, high-spirited woman, left him. Agricultural Works Damaged by Fire. Cambridge Citt, Ind.. Jane 4.

They were both taken in charge by the Sheriff, and while in his hands procured license and were married. They were then put in jail until officers from New Albany came np to take them back. The Bine Ribbon la Greensbarg. Gkeeksbsrg, Ind., June 4 The gospel tpm j.traLCe meetings, conducted by T. E. Murphy, assisted by the preachers of the city, for the past ten days, are attracting more interest than any movement ever before in the history of Greensburg. The Grand Opera-house, with a seating capacity of 2,500, was filled last night Same 1,200 have signed the pledge and donned the blue ribbon. Many hard drinkers have joined the movement and much good is predicted. Francis Murphy, tbe great reformer, will come here Tuesday. The meetings will probably continue several weeks. STATE GAS INTERESTS.
A Fine Flow Obtained at Fort Wayne Gas at Connersrllle, Platnfield, Etc. Fort Wayse, June 2. Fort Wayne people have been decidedly modest about claiming any right to a natural gas boom until this erening, when gas well No. 3 was shot, derelopmg a flow which poured out of a horizontal two and a naif inch pipe wi'h a loud roar, and when the gas was lighted the flame meaiured thirty feet in length. The directors of the company are enthusiastic orer the result and more wells will be put down at once. The casing in the well is partially filled with drilling, and when the pipe is cleaned out a much larger flow is expected. The result is noteworthy as marking the limit of the Indiana natural gas district At much greater distance north than expected. The depth of the new well is 1,418 feet. Plain field In the Oas Region. Plainfield, June 2. The peeple of Plainfield and suirounding country hare been enjoying the norel sensation of witnessing a burning gas well for the past several days, and the prospects are that their curiosity will be rewarded with the sight of the greatest gusher in tne way of a gas well that Indiana ever produced before the close of the present week. Since the discovery of natural gas here, over a week ago, there has been a steady flow of the rrtic'e from the well, which has neither diminished nor greatly increased. The flald when lighted, which occurs at each drawing of the huge drill, still blazes at a height of from ten to twelve feet from the mouth of the eight inch driving pipe. The work of drilling progresses rather slowly, owing to the nnmerous difficulties met with in the way of water and quicksand. Tne gas before reaching the mouth of the well has to come through oyer 400 feet of water, and considering this circumstance it is remarkable that the Sow should be so great. Great things are expected when the drill reaches the Trenton limestone. There has been a perceptible advance in the price of real estate here already, and a healthy boom and growth may be expected by Plaiofisld should gas be found in liberal quantities. FROM LIFE TO DEATH la but a moment If rheumatism or neuralgia strikes the heart. These diseases are the most painful and the most dangerous of any to which human kind is liable. They fly from one part to another without a moment's waning, and liniments and other outward applications are in themselves dangerous because they are liable to drire the disease to some vital organ and cause instant death. Rheumatism and neuralgia are diseases of the blood, and can only be reached by a remedy which will drire from the blood the dangerous acids. Such a remedy is Athlophoros. It has been thoroughly tested and is a safe,, sure cure. Mrs. Cre gar, 102J East Main street, Terre Haute, Ind., said: "I was one of the greatest sufierers from rheumatism that any mortal could be and lire. For fire days I was completely prostrated and helpless. Not a muscle or joint was free from the moet excruciating pain. J. he pain was so intense and I so teneitire I could not even bear the weight of a sheet. I did not know what sleep was for many nights. I suffered in this way for a long time, using many different treatments and medinces, both from physicians and friends' advice, but nothing did as much as to give me relief. Finally my husband got a bottle of Athlophoros, and you will, no doubt, be surprised, and some people might think it an improbable thing, but it is a fact, as can be testified to by many neighbors who know how sadly I was afflicted, in a few hours and only having taken a few doses of Athlophoros, 1 got up and walked around the room. Athlophoros did for me what doctors and their medicines failed to do, and I am only too glad to let it be known to sufferers from rheumatism. Every druggist should keep Athlophoros and Athlophoros Pills, but where they can not be bought of the druggist the Athlophoros Company, 112 Wall street, New York, will send either (carriage paid) on receipt of regular price, which is $1 per bottle for Athlophoros and 50 cents for Pills. For llrer and kidney diseases, dyspepsia, lndl creation, weakness, nervous debility, diseases o women, constipation, headache, lm parti blood etc., Atbiovhoros Pills are uneaualed. Outraged Ills Brother's Wlfa. Eteelville, Mo., June 2. Robert Gravatt, forty-five years of age, committed a horrible outrage yesterday upon Mrs. Lucinda Ball, a widow, formerly his brother's wife. The fiend went to the lady's house near Keysville, Crawford County, and assaulted her. A terrible struggle ensued. The woman fought desperately until her body was a mass of bruises and her clothing torn from her person. The brute finally chocked her into insensibility and accomplished his pur pose. When the neighbors, aroused by her screams, reacnea tne scene, tney touna tne blood flowing from her nose and mouth, indicating the desperate nature of the struggle. Gravatt was captured to day and is now in jail here. He admits his guilt. Hereford's Acid Phosphate In Sleeplessness. Dr. E. L. H. Parry, Jereeyville, I1L, says. "I used it in a case of sleeplessness, and it acted like a charm." The Republicans to Blame. Richmond Independent! Had the Republican members of the late Legislature done their duty, the Insane Asylum at this place would be in operation and onr merchants reap the benefits of furnishing the Institution with supplies.

The great labor demonstration announced to take place to-night in honor of William O'Brien was a go?d deal of a fiasco, owing to the fact that the labor people insist: d that the cause of Key. Dr. McGlynn should be approvingly introduced into the resolutions to be adopted at tho Union Square meeting, and that Henry George's land theories should also be advocated. When Mr. OTrien looked through the resolutions and erased Dr. McGlynn and the George land theory topics, especially that which epoke of the persecution of McGljnn, he sent them back to the committee that prepared them. The committee became excited and had an extended wrangle over what should be done. Lawyer Louis F. Post, on the card to introduce Mr. O'Brien at tbe meeting, declared he would not attend the meeting unless the resolutions were read in their original shape. The following form was agreed upon : "Resolved, By the working peopleof New York in mass meeting assembled that we welcome William O'Brien to oar city and assure him of our sympathy with his mission to America. We abhor the system of robbery by which l4rd Lansdowne grows rich at the expense of the impoverished people, we denounce the cruelty of expelling the Irishmen from from the soil on which they were born, and condemn those laws which by treating the land of Ireland as private property made such robbery and cruelty possible. The land ot Ireland belongs cf right to the people of Ireland, and in the pending struggle there we recognize the same irrepressible conti let between natural right and vested wrong, in which we, in this country, are engaged. Peaolved, That we watch with sympathetic interesttbe progress of the revolution in Great Britain, inspired by men like Messrs. Para ell, Davitt and O'Brien, and led by Mr. Gladstone, which gives premise to Ireland of a Government of the people, by the people and for the people, under which private ownership of land si all be abolished and the gifts ot nature and rat ore's God be equally enjoyed by all. "Resolved, That we proclaim the Godgiven right of every people to govern themselves, without any foreign interference or dictation whatever, and that we denounce the bill for the coercion of Ireland now pending in the British Parliament and the threat of excommunication made from Italy against the patriotic American priest who has favored 'Irish revolution' as meriting the condemnation of linerty-loving men the world over. 'Resolved, That we denounce the brutality exhibited toward Mr. O'Brien in Canada by ruffians acting, under the encouragement of the 'saviors of Bociety' there, as an interference with the rights of free speech and an rtterapt by lawless violence to shield one of England's lords of the earth from the contempt with which the exposure of his cruelty and plundering must inspire ail human and honest men. "Resolved, That in the further prosecution of his .mission against tbe iniquity of landlordism, Mr. O'Brien has the sincere sympathy and earnest co-operation of "the working people of New York, whose hands are ever ready and their hearts willing to help in the straggle of the disinherited cf the earth for their rights as citizens and their birthright as men." Later Mr. O'Brien learned that John McMackin, who presided at the two lectures dfliveed by P.J. Tynan, the alleged "No. 1" of the Phoenix Park murder notoriety, was to preside at the Union Square meeticg. He at once resolved to hare nothing to do with any assembly that countenanced McMackin, and made his resolve known. The committee, however, determined to throw over O'Brien rather than McMackin. who conducted the Henry George campaign last fall. The result was that O'Brien did not appear either in the parade or at the meeting. The parade was long in starting, owing to a lack of understanding. The different organizations formed on Fifth avenue and waited for the Bignal to start until many people thought they would never more. At last they got off and the 10.000 processionists moved down the avenue, headed by the Sixty-ninth Regiment, to the platform in Union Bqnare, where the meeting was held and the ipeeches made. There was assembled at lfrast zu.uoo people, among tnem many women. On the piazza of the cottage, facing the plaza at the upper end of the rquare, were Dr. McGlynn, John McMackin, tbe chairman of the Executive Committee of the United Labor party of this city; Dr. Edward Malone, the State delegate of the Irish National League; Rev. C. P. McCarthy and Mrs. MacGathan, widow ot tte late war correspondent. McMackin, who presided, delivered the opening speech. lie said the land of Ireland, as that of all other lands, ws the free gift of the Creator to bis children, and could not by any law be made the propel ty of individuals. James P. Archibald, who next spoke, said that if O'Brien had any feeling in common with the people, he would nerer hare insulted the Labor party by refusing to speak on the same platform as John McMackin. Dr. McGlynn. who was loudly cheered on rising to speak, said they had assembled to Rreet O'Brien, not as a man or an indindual. for many of them knew little about him and cared le33 for his mere personality, but for the sake of the causi he represented. If O'Brien had been so ill-advised they could not blame him as they did those who advised him. It was a shocking thing, after having been honored by an invitation of the United Labor party, the Knights of Labor and Central Labor Union, to dare dictate to them and scratch and cross out portions of the resolutions. The message they wished to send to the people of Ireland was one of sympathy with their wrongs. After Dr. McGlynn's speech the resolutions were read and adopted. Speeches were also made by Rabbi Browne, Charles P. McCarthy, Mrs. Margarette Moore and others. Mr. O'Brien has written for the Bun the following statement of his reasons for not appearing at the demonstration: "I most deeply regret that anything should occur which prevents rae from ex pressing in person my gratitude to the working clastes of New York for the loyal and hearty service, I am quite sure, they intended to render to the cause of Ireland by their demonstration to-night. I was forced to abstain from participation in tbe roceedings becaose tbe only alternativ eft me waa to Inflict what I knew would be a deadly blow at the moyement la
which the happiness of our people during the present generation is bound. "When it was first intimated to methat Ihe wire workers of New York desired to honor our cauee in my person, I was not tufSciently acquainted with the facts to be aware that the proposal proceeded from any particular organization. I should have accepted this honor with equal reidiness, however, had I known it represented the d et ire of eo ifloential a body of American workmen as the Labor Union, bat only on the condition in which I have insisted before of accepting any mark of favor whatsoever from any other American orzanizv tion of whaterer party or color or "condition, namely, that their action ebould be directed solely to service of Irish cause and should in no
I manner increase the difficulties of our peo ple, already sufficiently cruel, by embroiling us in American ioso.es and so estranging that sympathy of the American Nation in its integrity which is one of the sheet anchors of our success. I waited in my hotel throughout the forenoon of Friday in the hope that the committee of the labor parade would do me the courtesy of acquainting me with their arrangements. As 1 received no communication from thsmin the afternoon, I wired McQaaid req nesting the committee to faror me with an Interriew. He, with two other Irish gentlemen Casserly add Dunne answered my telegram in person, and throughout the whole proceedings acted with the utmost candor, friendliness and heartfelt interest in the Irish cause. I found that the gentlemen nominated to preside and to present the address of welcome to me was one whose choics, for reasons which I must decline to discus3, but in which no degree apply to his office as president of the Labor Union (United Labor party), would be used togire colorjto tbe malignant representations of the Times, and would involve the most calamitous results for our movement. "The deputation seemed to acquiesce heartily In tbe reasonableness of my objf etion, asd gare me to understand that the nomination would be set aside. They assented readily, also, to my suggestion that I should hare an opportunity of perusing the proposed resolutions. Later in the erening McQaaid called on me with tbe resolutions, and handed me a blue lead-pencil, with the invitation to erase or add to anything that seemed to me to require emendation. I found that two of the resolutions distinctly characterized our movement as one to abolish private proerty in land and saught to identify it with the American movement with that obi eck I pointed out that this was in direct controreution of tbe object of the Irish National Lesgue and woald inevitably be used to entangle us in American issues. I suggested some erasures which would remove the objection and confine the resolutions to the object of a demonstration of pure sympathy for Ireland, with which it was tendered by the committee and accepted by me. McQaaid accepted the emendations with the fullest assurance that they would be indorsed by the committee. He promised that the decision would be communicated to me early Saturday. I xemalned in doors during the whole of Saturday in expectation that the committee would maae aware their final decision in reference to the resolutions and to the chairmanship, upon which I decided that my participation in the demonstration must depsnd. As the day was wearing late, I again wired McQuald, who waited on me and said that the chairman originally named insistsd upon presiding, and that the committee were disposed to support him, bnt that a farther meetiDg of the committee was about to be held. "I was left in ignorance of the committee's decision until 7 :45 o'clock, when a deputation consiitiog of Thomas, Post and Dann (two of them, I beliere. Dot Irishmen) came to the hotel and announced that no change could be made in the chairmanship, and tb.it my proposed changes in the resolutions could cot be accepted. Under these circamstances I intimated that, after most anxiou j consideration, I felt coerced in the interest of the Irish people to decline to participate in the demonstration. "Half an hour later another and a larger deputation from the committee, consisting of McVeigh, Casserly, Dunn, McQaaid and Professor Clarke returned to the hotel and informed me that the committee had reversed its decision and had appointed Professor Clarke to preside and were willing that the resolutions should be dropped altogether. They were not, however, prepared to offer any guarantee that the decision would be accepted by tbe gentleman originally named, who had announced he would insist upon his right. Professor Clarke declined to give any pledge that, under these circumstances, the afiair would not end in a discreditable scrimmage for tbe chair. The gentlemen of tbe deputation expressed the liveliest appieciation of my grounds of objection, and seemed very heartily to regret that the committee delayed decision to the moment when there was no assurance of its being respected - in the heat and confusion of a vest public meeting. Under the circumstances I declined to altar my determination, and the conference ended by messengers who 6tated that the meeting was actually in progress, and the gentleman originally named had carried out his intention of taking the chair." Henry George sent a letter saying that a previous engagement prevented his presence at tbe meeting, aud that he did not sympathyze with the home rule movement, as it stopped short of what the Irish P opie should have, the possession of the land. Panic in a Church. Chihcahca, Mex., June 2. A terrible panic prevailed here this afternoon in the Catholic Cathedral, caused by the falling of a candle, setting fire to one of the altars. The day being a religious holiday, the church was crowded to overflowing, principally with women and children. At the sight of the smoke tho crowd became frantic, and the usual scenes of a terrorstricken, struggling mass of humanity followed.
