Irish constituents were consulted by the members. Parnell ruled outjof order any reference to his conduct in the O'Shea case and this brought him into frequent collision with the different speakers, especially Mr. Healy, with whom Parnell exchanged hot words. Parnell displayed

Edward Harrington, brother of Timothy Harrington, now in America, and secretary of the National league, has joined Parnell and most of the officers of tfre league have followed him. He is working the machinery of the league in Parnell's interest. The control of league funds by Parnell gives him immense power over thelrish members, most of whom aredependanton them for salaries.

FOREIGN GOSSIP.

Oilke- Herbert Bl»m»rck—Cdn c«rnin|c tlladilone. LoxnoN, lecember 21—It is of interest to note that the Parnell cases has not prevented Liberal associations from asking Sir Walter lUke to stand as tbeir candidate. The metropolitan borough and great iron producing country recently invited him to come forward though he seems again to have declined.

Your correspondent Is assured there is no thadow of doubt, for the story which lately appeared of the approaching marriage t»f Count Herbfrt Bismarck. The ugh tens are resident n^ar the capital of Gourland

Countess Pohler and her

wheroC-ount Bismarck has lately been staying with Baron Manteple for shooting* That is all.

There is food* reason for saying that if Gladstone's decision, conveyed in his tetter of Monday, November 24, had been formed Monday. November 17, when the O'Shea divorce case ended, the communication of it in some informal way would have prevented tha deadlock which haa now so unfortunately occurred. ParncUs health would have failed, and not from him requesting Justin McCarthy to lead the party in his enforced absence, would have enabled Gladstone to tide over the crisis, but, mow so, Gladstone could arrive at no conclusion until after using all means of observation and reflection in his power. He hen tried to escipe the disaster bv taking a bold course, never doubting Darnell would be cowed mto submission. It happened, however, Parnell has deep feeling opposite of veneration for Gladstone, and the ex-premiers letter only provoked the manifesto which breathee contempt as well defiance in every paragraph. fg§

OUT AT'PERTH.

The Drivers Itefase to Work at the Company's Terms. PauTH^December 2.—The drivers and road men are still on a strike at No. 8 and 10 mines. They claim that the men who voted to go to work were miners and not day hands. Quite a number of them are going to work at other mines. The pay of drivers is regulated by the prices paid for mining coal, two and a half tons considered a8 a day's work, making the pay q|drivers which they claim is lees th^flStfy co'uld inakc digging. Tfte coaapany claims that if they pay the drivers more than the district price they would have the miners out for an advance in the price of mining. Thus the matter stands.

The Chance Racket.

Two young men resembling each other veiy much in appearance and who gave their names as Fred and Frank Stinson, of Indianapolis, were arrested last evening on complaint of Miss Mamie O'Donnjjll, daughter of Hagh Q'Donneli, grocer at Second and Park streets, who charges them with beating her out of $1 oy means of a change racket. She says that Fred Stinson did the work. When arrested he had 15 cents while Frank had $3.55. Either of them answers the description of the man who grabbed Mrs. Burgan's pocket book at the union depot recently. The police have been looking for two change racket lads from Indianapolis and thinkithey have them. Scjtt and Mills, who were s^nt to the pen last Spring for working the changg racket, were detected and exposed by this same Mamie O'Donnell.

At the last meeting only thirteen out of thirtyone roads invitetl were represented.

It is said that this report recommends the non-issue of free transportation to politicians and confines it almost solely to newspapers in return for advertising purposes.

John Brooks, the treasurer elect, refused to qudify unless the allowance for deputy hire was raised from the present figure, $406, to $700. This was refused. It was reported last week that Mr. Brooks would not be able to give the bond required, which ia about $190,000, but he claimed to-day that his bond was all ready. The result of his action wUl be a new election for treasurer, which will oceul^jiisfesut thirty days. Mr. Brobks was placed on the Democratic ticket in place of James Dawson, who had withdrawn. Brooks was rather averse to making the race at first, bnt his objections were overruled bv his friends.

An elegant' supper was served just at midnight, so that it was given on the birthday of each, and a number of handsome presents were given the happy young couple as souvenirs of the occasion.

News Abont Town. ,'t

The council meets to-night The saloon closing question may and it may not come up. These opposed to the King ordinance think of introducing a resolution to the effect that the state law be enforced instead of the ordinance adopted at the last regular meeting of the council. It is of very little consequence whether this resolution is or is not introduced. The saloonists would prefer that prosecutions against them be conducted under the state law, for thereunder a conviction is a much more difficult thing to accomplish than under the King ordinance.

The latter lias been duly passed by a majority vote of the council and if it is not sound the Supreme court must say so. Its enforcement will be demanded, and demanded in no hesitating or shrinking manner. If the opposition chooses to introduce resolutions pertaining to the matter, they have that privilege. So long as the bniinance stands it will be enforced. A two-third's volte is required to IJrepeal it and that two-thirds vote is not at present available.

There seems to be no reason now why the lawshould not be enforced. A number of the saloon men aiv iu favor of closing without further resistance, and .the police department are firm in their resolve to allow no offender to escape.

As soon as the ordinance goes into effect, and it is learned that all saloons will be clos$£and that not a single door will be allo^Sd to remain open, those who ait how'in favor of closing will be more than ever in favor of it. It is hardly probable that even should the matter come up again before the council to-night, that any further action will be taken in regard to it. Captain Davis will be instructed to stand firmly on the law and to enforce it without fear or favor. If this is dono without resorting to the vasciliating policy which characterized the recent attempt to enforce the law there will be no trouble whatever in doing it,

O A BAD FIRE.

The Department Called To The Went Side Early Thin Morning. Merchant Policeman Derrickson about 2 o'clock this morning discovered fire in the brush-heap in the rear of Hollingsworth's poultry house and turned in aft alarm from box 64. There is fully fifty r6et of the river front at this location that has been made in the past eighteen months, and consists of the dry limbs of trees, upon which rubbish, earth, etc., has from time to time been thrown, The bank is filled with openings, which naturally offer the best possible passageways for fire. Some individual set the mass ablaze, and it must have been burning for some time'when discovered. T^e companys responded in good orde& out found it a difficult thing to quench the fire which wa$ eating its way into jthe bank. The Four's worked until 6:20 thie mottling and a detait^r mett with 800 feet of extra hose ftftWvbeen turning a flood ol-water into the burning mass nearly all day. At one time Hollingsworth's establishment was in danger as was also the county bridge.

At noon to-day the firemen were still hard at work pouring floods of water into holes and crevices in the ground back from the edge of the bank, the interior of which, notwithstanding the water turned in, is still on fire. Said Assistant Chief Bell, this morning: "The careless* new in the authorities permitting such trash as composes this bank, thrown out here within the city limits, is an outrage. This bank, for more than fifty feet back, is made up of old paper, cuttinps from trees, cinders and almost every thing else and when it is fired it simply means danger to surrounding property and long hours of exposure and unsatisfactory work for the department unsatisfactory, becausefwe can never tell when we have the fire extinguished. We are liable to be called out at any time and many more times for this same fire."

The employes of the poultry house killed a goose, dressed it and gave it to the firemen this morning, The boys spitted and roasted it in tfie flames and artook, heartily, iunch. *C T«j
