Notice of appeal Jrom the judgment of the court was given. ..,-.s , Upon Mr. O'Brien's arrival at Mitchelstown for trial he was received with cheering by large crowds, which had gathered to welcome him. The crowd manifested great excitement, but there were no indications of disorder. Mr. O'Brien was immediately conveyed by Ins Boards to the court room. Manv

English ladies were present to witness she trial, and Mr. O'Brien was the recipient of bouquets from a number of them. The trial was emphatically a one-sided affair. No accurate account -of the speech for which Mr. O'Brien was arraigned exists, and the valiant orator was convicted through the testimony m incompetent witnesses. The absolute unfitness of the Government reporters was aptly illustrated in this instance. Sergeant Foley, one of the officers on whose deposition Mr. O'Brien was arrested, swore that he wrote the words of the speech from hia memory. He had forgotten to take his notebook with him to the meeting, and hence was obliged to rely on his mental capacity . for the speech. And on the testimony' of this presumably prejudiced . man, Mr. O'Brien, was convicted. The; majority of the police reporters are illiterate, and are wholly incapable of rendering a verbatim report of anything, much less a speech in which much of the language used was entirely beyond their mental caliber. ,

TheKagitah Governments Policy Will Not Suppress the Irish People.

Michael Davitt left Liverpool, Thursday, for New York. Before boarding the steamer he submitted to an inter view, in wMch he said: The order lor the suppression of the National League will neither intimidate its members nor in the least degree set back the popular movement. It is simply impossible now to crush the movement. That would mean to put in prison three-fourths of the people in Ireland.

The immediate outlook is gloomy in the x reme. I look with anxiety upon the coming winter, believing, as I do, that ne action of the government will pro

voke widespread disorder. If the people tamely submit to be deprived of the

right of public meeting and freedom of

peecb, they will show themselves unworthy of home rule. We must fight,

we must make sacrifices, for the princi

ple of self-government.

"I have already served nine years in

prison. On returning to Ireland I have

f good prospect of putting in more years

in prson. I believe every earnest Na-

ionalist is ready to do the same.

never found a people readier to make sacrifices lor a national cause. I never knew of any people in the world more resolute to carry on a fight. It would be infinitely nnre agreeable if we were enabled to continue the struggle in a peaceful, constitutional manner, but the Tory government will not let us. A policy of deliberate exasperation has been . determined upon by the Salisbury ministry. TXpon them rests the responsibility for the coming events. By. far the worst feature of the present situation is the government's plan of resortin g to the worst kind of coercion in the in terest of landlords. They admit that the present dual ownership ought to be abolished. They recognize that the existing

system- is a complete failure, yet the

movement of Irish leaders to reform the land tenure is declared illegal, and they themselves are denounced as criminals. The name of the League might be

suppressed, but the thing itself will re

main. I have always declared myself a

separatist on principle, denying the right of any people to invade the free

dom and liberty of another people. I

do not believe that the majority of

Irishmen would be satisfied with a con

stitution like Canada's, which,however,

would probably meet the exigencies of

the case. Let me add that I hope Mr.

Gladstone, the next time he tries his

hand, will improve on his previous

efforts. His plan was defective and un

democratic. The two-order arrange

ment would never have worked. The

fiscal burden proposed was too heavy

and an unjust exaction from the coun

try of which Mr. Gladstone, presumably

in the interests of the empire, had al

ready been the chief financial scourge.

I would like to see Ireland as free as any other nation. I believe that the freer you make her the friendlier she will be."

OfcD-TIME HURRICANE.

Visits Brownsville, Texas Damage Very

Great. An old time hurricane visited Browns

ville and Matamoras, Texas, Thursday

night and Friday, lasting thirty hours. It struck Brownsville at'nine o'clock in the evening and contimued all night long,, the howling being mingled now and then with the crash of a fallen house, the rending sound of falling trees, and the shouts of those imploring aid. The damage in the country is incalulable. Countless head of stock were lost, and the crops of cotton, corn and sugar cane are completely destroyed. In Brownsville the chief suf

ferers are among the poor. Between

sixty and eighty of the cheaper class of

dwellings weze destroyed and fully 300

unroofed and rendered uninhabitable. The loss is estimated at over $1,000,000.

In Matamoras about 200 houses, nearly all of them very poor affairs, were blown down- or unroofed. The floods

are general in all this territory and adds largely to the suffering and damage.

DOES PROHIBITION PROHIBIT.

A Wichita, Kansas, . Drug Clerk Bather

Believes It Does. J. A. Stewart, of Wichita, Kansas, was

Friday sentenced to seventeen years

and four months in the county jail, and fined $20,800, with costs of prosecution, for the violation of the pro

hibition law. He was a clerk in

theWest End drug store, and

pleaded guilty to an indictment containing 2080 counts; Herman, the proprie

tor of the place; can not be found, and it is thought that he has left the coun

try. The punishment imposed upon

Stewart is the heaviest ever given in the State for violation of the liquor laws.

named.

The Anarchists. Gen. Roger A Pryor has been retained

in behalf of the condemned Chicago

anarchists. The attorneys wflT apply

to the United States 8upreme Court for a new trial on a writ of error. Gen. Pryor Friday said: "I am confident

that we shall obtain the writ in time to

prevent the execution of the condemn-

ed men. In my judgment, formed from

Captain Black's notes, the records will

show so many errors that no great exertion will be necessary for us to win. The unexpected may happen, of course, but I have no iear3,"

, Ntoe Sntto Jpll'et. . Oscar Neebe, the anarchist, sentenced

to fifteen years' imprisonment on ac

count of the Haymarket massacre, was

taken to Joliet, Monday, and placed in the penitentiary. The transfer was made very quietly, the officers fearing

an attempt at rescue, and not even a reporter knew of the design until the party were on the train. Neebe asked to see his lawyer before starting, but

the request was refused.

GEAND ARMY BOYS. Many Thousands, of Veterans in Camp in the Parks of St. Louis, An Immense Attendance of Veterans and the NumherB Keep Increasing The Tented Field 4 St. Lotns, Mo., Sept. 26. The hoys in blue and their friends have taken the city by storm to-day, and from daylight until far into the night, one continuous procession of grip-sacks has poured itself out of the Union Depot. From six o'clock onward there was not a lapse of half an hour without a train, and the local reception committee, although its numbers had been reinforced, found it impossible to handle the people that crowded upon them. There were times when chaos reigned supreme, and even when the awful rush of the Knictite

Templars' conclave was more than surpassed. Up to 3 o'clock this afternoon

the official reports to the headquarters of the local committee showed thai; over 20,000 ex-soldiers were already upon the ground, and, as every train brought in more spectators than Grand Army men, it was figured out that fully 50,000 strangers were in the city. This does not, probably, represent more than one-third of the number that will be here by to-morrow, for the delegations from many of the principal States, including Illinois and Pennsylvania, as well as the big excursion trains, are yet to arrive at this writing. Whether this great multitude can be housed, even if it can be fed, is a serious question. Not a room not even cot space remained at any of the hotels after 10 o'clock, and the clerks were driven well nigh to distraction by the crowds that besieged the desks and begged and pleaded for even a place to lay their heads. Every lodging-house within a radius of a mile cf the old court-house is pretty well filled

up, and plenty of people have been glad

to secure accommodations two or three

miles away. The rush, in lact, has up

set all calculations. As an example accommodations had been ordered in advance for 800 Oalifornians, and when

the train came in, what with wives, and

children, and friends, they were 1,500

strong. The same in a greater or less de

gree is true of almost every delegation

that has put in an appearance. Tomake

matters worse, the rain of to day has so

thoroughly saturated the tents in which the rank and file of the ve terans were to be sheltered, that the prospect of their occupancy is anything but inviting, and the men who, a score of years ago, would have been perfectly contented with existing conditions, are hardly willing to

add to the affirmitieB of advancing

age by sleeping upon the damp ground.

The arrivals to-day included the di

visions from Kan8as,ColoradoFenneBSoe,

Georgia, Maine and Wyoming. Most of

them brought either a band or a fife and drumcorps, and despite the rain and mud they marched merrily through the streets to the martial strains of the mu

sic. They hardly waited to get the dust from their clothes,or replenish the wants of the innar man, before they wore

mingling with the crowds in the lobbies

of the hotels, seeking out old acquaintances, and renewing the associations of years gone by. Many an affecting drama

was enacted as men who had not met

since tne close of tne war iouno themselves face to face. Hands were grasped with hearty fervor, shoulders

were slapped, necks hugged, and evsry

conceivable manifestation of joy and pleasure was indulged in by the gray-

headed veterans. Every now and then

somebody would start "Marching

through Georgia" or some other war song, and the crowd would take up the refrain and make the welkin ring. Good nature and jollity were the order of the day and night, and altogether the veterans are having such a time as tbey have seldom if ever had before.

The feature of this encampment is the

sheltering of large numbers of old vet

erans in tents, tried at each encampment

before in small numbers. The plan gave such satisiaction and pleasure that

it was decided thus to house vast numbers, and the executive committee ar

ranged to care for a greater concourse of people in the field than has ever be

fore been attempted in any land except

in times of war. Perhaps no canvass

city of such proportions has ever been

built in so short a time. Within two

months.3,500 tents with ample Toom for 25,000 soldiers more than there is in the

entire United States Army, have been

put together and are now pitched in ten

beautiful parks of this city, all within a radius of two miles. The headquarters are connected by telegraph and conveni

ent to dining halls. A bale of straw makes

mattresses for each tent; the bed the soldier brings strapped on his knapsack

or grips; Five hundred of these tents are pitched in Lyon Park, 300 in Concordia Park; in Hyde Park 500, Washington Park 550, Carr Place 700, St.

Louis Park 300, Jackson Park 150, For

est Park 250, around the Court House and other public places 100. In the heart of the city for several days desert

ed walks, and white coverings were more like the city of the dead, but tonight an army of jovial and tried spirits

crowd the way. The doubt would the

boys take to the tents has been dispell

ed, for on a rainy day more applications

for such shelter have been made than tents are ready for, but the neighborhood hotels and boarding houses offer relief for the surplus. In many caseB the veteran will stop in the camp and house his family near by. i. A peep within the tents this evening revealed touching scenes. The vfarrior citizen only knows the feeling) of such glorious reminiscences. Ever and anon surging crowds on the street pause to hear the bugle call, and the stentorian voice calling out a. name, company, regiment and State, sometimes a call for a comrade not seen for years. ""Too often there is no response, but tien

again an answer, silence as they rfteet and then a jubilee. These camps are

fulof pathetic meetings after years of

separation and it is this that draws so

many thousands of the boys in blue

together. , !

This evening the visitors were enter

tained by receptions at the various ipost

headquarters. The halls, beautifully decorated, have been thrown openi all

day, and many comrades have accented

their hospitality. At Ransom Post a

band entered on the scene with mairtial

music, and U. S. Grant post of Eliza

beth, N. J., presented Ransom post with

a handsome oil painting of General Ran-

aroused by Corporal Tanner, who touched on the flag issue, the President and possible insult to the Grand Army,

Lyon, Hassendouble and Harding posts

also kept open house to all visitors. Itortl Churohili Talk to Farraem, Lord Randolph Churchill, addressing

a meeting of farmers at York, Thurs

day ,said the present low prices of wheat

where ruinous to the farmers. As a

politician, he had not a grain of comfort to offer them. A British farmer growing wheat did not seem to know when he was beaten. Lord Churchill says he foresaw nothing likelv to cause a rise in

the price of wheat sufficient to aflord a

profit to the grower. Foreign imports were illimitable, not from America only, but from other sources. The farmers of England should realize thoroughly that India is a tremendous granary, and will continue to pour into the English market increasing quantities of wheat. This radical change in the conditions of farming should prepare all interested in agriculture to adapt themselves to changes. HaNDAIjL as a grangeh.

H Talke About Agriculture to the Farmers bf Illinois. Hon. Samuel J. Randall addressed an agricultural fair at Woodstock 111., Thursday. Among other things he said: "The American people in all material elements which go to make up a nation's prosperity and the happiness of her people have advanced more . rapidly than any nation on the earth. We are reaching out; towards the perfection of the science of agriculture. "If I can claim commendation for any public service I feel it is for my earnest efforts to appreciate and foster the resources of our National capabilities and wealth. I have come to realize

that statesmanship after all consists

chiefly in full and true knowledge of a nation's resources. To-day the United

States in agricultural wealth and income stands ahead of all civilized countries, its income reaching according to undisputed authority in grain crops,

cattle, forrestry, etc.j over $3,000, 000,000 a year. This is a remarkable statement; one which, while arousing

our pride, should prove an incentive to

greater result. What we have we must

retail: and gain more, and to do so we must establish more scientific husbandry, wh'ch can be most effectively

and surely promotea by such an organization of farmers as this oue I now address, andean be further accelerated in a great degree by the practice of those economics on farms which

have been too much neglected. The agriculture of a nation is not only

the means of private wealth and individual happiness, but it is the power which sustains every other resource and interest. Agriculture and manufacturing should go hand in hand, and they

have, for we stand at the head of all nations in agricultural productions and wealth.

Referring' to the result of agricultural

products of the country he said: In 1876 the balance of our trade with foreign nations amounted to $9,643,481; in 1881,

$259,702,718. Where imports exceed the

exports, a gradual drain of gold will

commence to meet such debt, and a

stringent period of money will come.

You will at once see the importance to our financial soundness that our agricultural interests should in every way be

kept up to its maximum, I ask that societies like the one I now address, be

continued, broadened in their scope of

service and organized in every direction,

because they bring into force on the

farm every economy provided by science or skill. In the administrations of nations, negligence of ordinaiy economy brings bankruptcy and ruin; so, too, a

like policy on the paTt of the farmer is

followed by disastrous failures.

It is absolutely essential, if we are to

out strip all competition, that we should realize the best products and lay them

down where they are in demand at the

cheapest prices.

A Big Oil Fire. A great fire in oil occurred at Cygnet, an oil town thirty miles from Toledo, Ohio, Wednesday. Parker well No. 1, a great oiler, caught fire and the burning oil was scattered fRr and near. The tankage and rig was completely destroyed. Well No. 2 caught from the flames. Four tanks with their contents were destroyed, and the loss will reach hundreds of thousands of dollars. An explosion occurred

and burning oil was blown through the

woods for a long distance, and the bins and fences furnished ready food for the flames. The Crocker and other wells were included in the destruction. Bye witnesses declare the blaze reached 1,000 feet in the air, and the heat was so intense that one could not get nearer than one-half mile of the burning wells. One fatality is reported. Plucky Mr. O'Brien . Mr. William O'Brien, who is confined in the Cork jail, avers that if he is convicted and imprisoned he will resist to the end of his life any demand to wear the prison garb, or to perform menial offices, such as common criminals are

Merchant Tommy, send this letter up in the box to Mr. Scrivner, and see that he lakes it out. Office boy puts the missive in the box and glues his thumb to the bell-button. Mr. Scrivner (with the voice of a tfte chief)-Well, what's the matter down there? Office Boy (calmly) Plup box. Tho box is pulled up. Pretty but Not Practicable. Kansas City Times. That is a very pretty story which comeB from Indiana detailing how the lives of hundreds of paesengeis on an express train on the Cincinnati and Indianapolis railway were saved by "an old aunt ie" who discovered that; a bridge had been burned down. Very pretty, indeed. But what the public wanta to know is, are we obliged to depend for safety in railway travel upon an old aunty who happens to be moseing along the track?- What if the old aunty should take a clay off occasionally? The thought is to horrible to entertain. A railway t hat negleets to provide trackmen, and relies upon Providence and old aunties, seems t o us to incur a rather reckless degree of responsibility. An Important Element Of the success of Hood's Sarsaparilla is the fact that every purchaser receives a fair equivalent for his money, The familiar headline "100 Doses One Dollar," stolen by imitators,, is original with and true only of Hooc.'s Sarsaparilla. This can easily be proven by any one who desire to test the matter. For real econ

omy, buy only Hood's Sarsaparilla, Solcl by ail druggist s. The man that wields the baton frequently has his music "on tap.1 "Good deeds," once said tho celebrated Riohter, "ring clear through Heaven like a bell." One of the best deeds is to alleviate human sufferings. "Last fall my daughter was in decline," says Mrs. Mary Hinson, of Montrose,Kansa3, "And everybody thought she was going into consumption. I got her a bottle of Dr. R. V. Pierce's 'Favorite Prescription. and it cured her." Such facts as the above need no comment. Good resolution?, like a squalling baby at church, should be carried out Being entirely vegetable, no particular e&re is required while using Dr. Pierce's "Pleasant Purgative Pellets." They operate without disturbance to the constitution, diet, . or occupation. For sick-headache, constipation, impure blood, diawnests, sour eructations irom tho s'somach, bad taste in mouth, bilious attac ks, pain i n region of kid neys, internal fever, bloated feeling abont stomacn, rush of blood to head, take Dr. Pierce's "Pellets." By druggists. The silent man is often worth listening to. "As is the bud bit vrith an envious worm " so is many a youth cut do wn by the gnawing vorm consumption. But it can be made to releascrits hold and stop its gnawing. Dr. Pierce's "Goiden Medical Discovery" will if taken n time, effect permanent cures, not only in conanmotion, but in all cases of chronic throat, bronchial and lung disease.

TKDE FRIENDSHIP Three Ptranirers Who Savocl tho Name and Orlit of Hnry :.01ay. Baltimore American. Perhaps no man in public life in the Unite-i States ever had so Btrong a personal following as Henry Clay. His

friends were every where, and thoy were

so numerous that he himself never knew them half by name. When the "Mill Boy of the Slashe'' was the candidate of the Whigs for the Presidency, it became known 1h4t he had overdrawn his bank account al the MaysviUe bank for a considerable sum. One day three gentlemen, strangers to President Scott of that institution, and asked Mr. Scott how much Clay had overdrawn. He replied tersely that that was none of their business, and that his bank was not'in the habit of telling strangers the private affairs of his customers. The visitor said that they had come to make the account good, and that they had asked the question that they might know how much was required of them. That placed a different phase on the

situation, and Mr. Scott told them that

Mr. Clay's account was overdraivn to an

amount approximating $30,000. The

visitors opened their saddle-bags and

immediately paid over the amount. Mr. Scott I tried to find out who they were but was unsuccessful, and up to thejday

of his. death he never knew who were the benefactors ofhis customer. Mr. Scott's son, now a resident of Bloomington, 111., would . be interested to know who were the riders that carried $30,000 in their saddlebags to save the name of Henry Clay, but no ono has yet been able to enlighten him.
