OMffl ASSASSDIS

Editor

Eight Shots Fired at the Carriage Which Contained Him.

HAMILTON, Ont.—May 24.—Mr. O'Brien met with ft reception here which threw everything that has occurred up to the present time in the shade. As he was helped ont of the oar his eye rested upon 6uch an extraordinary sight as is said by the oitizens not to have been seen in this town during many years. There, under the scorching rays of the sun, with their hats oft, was a vast body of stalwart men, packed so closely together that a passage could not be made for some minutes. In vain did Mr. Kilbride and other friends beseeoh the thronging thousands to, make way and stop skaking hands with Mr. O'Brien. A thunderous chorus of cheers, louder, and louder, went up from the crowd tin til he was fproed to interpose an objection. "You're hoi: in Kingston," Med one man, waving a Bhorfc stick threateningly, at though indicating how he would have aoted if he had been there. "Ho, nor in Toronto," shouted another.

After having his arm nearly shaken off, O'Brien maoaged to escape to the carriage in waiting for him. Finally the procession of carriages moved and proceeded to the Royal Hotel, sainted with obeers along the whole route.

The meeting was held at 8 o'clock, in the Palace Rink. The rink, which is capable of holding two thousand persons, was tilled. On the platform were a number of prominent oitizens, including some Orangemen and several Knights of Labor. There was also

5ames

resent a deputation from Toronto. O'Brien, president of the National League, presided.

Mr. O'Brien begged the indulgence of the audience on account of his oondition, and proceeded to epeak with euch force as he had, oovering, in the main, the same ground whiqji he has heretofore coverep in his speeohes. After Mr. O'BrieD sat down the ohairman read the following cablegram from Iiondon, signed by Justin McCarthy, Thomas Sexton, T. M. Healy, John Dillon and J. Q. Biggar: "Aocept the sympathy of your colleagues. We feel the deepest indignation at the brutal conduct of the mobs at Kingston and Toronto. We earnestly request that you take rest under the best medical owe."

Denis Kilbride then spoke. George Collins, an Englishman, who also addressed the meeting, astonished the audience by the bitterness of his attack on Lord Lansdowne. Frederick Walters, president of the Ironmolders' Union, J. H. Raoey and Edward Williams, all Englishmen, and William Berry, an Orangeman, made speeches, after which a resolution condemning Lord Lansdowob was passed.

AN ATTEMPT ON O'BBIEN'S LIFE. During the meeting a hostile crowd of several hundred Orangemen collected in the street opposite the rink and it was believed that they meant to attack Mr. O'Brien when he left the rink.. Everything bad passed off well at the meeting and there was the greatest enthusiasm.

While Mr. Kilbride was closing the meeting by a speech, Mr. O'Brien, at the request of his" friends, left the platform andgoing from the rink by a narrow alley reached the street, where a carriage was in waiting. The driver whipped the horses and started for the hotel. Suddenly a crowd appeared and set to hissing and groaning. This afterward proved to be a concerted signal to a group of five assaseins who lurked in Market Square. As the carriage wheeled into Market square eight shots were fired at the carriage. One of them struck the driver, John Nelson, in the left wrist. Another bullet whisned by Mr. O'Brien's faoe and passed through the opposite window without harming anybody. The party reaohed the hotel, where another Orange mob had collectfid in the street and hooted and threw missiles at the party as they entered the hotel.

O'Brien will return to Niagara Falls on Tuesday, where he will take a rest, and^ proceed thenoe to Montreal, to atgrand open air meeting on

tend the Thursday.' HAMILTON, Ont., May 24.—The meeting in this plaoe last night and the attack which was made on Editor O'Brien with revolvers are not likely, in his opinion, to wind up the danger, which was foreseen from the time he "invaded the dominion" but still more plainly peroeived from the time that assault was made apon him in Toronto. He believes that something of tbe eame kind may be attempted in Montreal.

THE Baptist Sunday school will go down the river, about 20 miles, next Saturday morning at 8 o'clock. Games of all kinds will be taken along and a good time is expected by all. Fare for adults 40 cents children under 14 years 20 cents.

Texans Astoecded Bedtise Denounced Lynching

DEAR SIB: The murderers of the negro prisoner in Willis calaboose last Sunday, as reported in the papers, ought to be apprehended, indicted and prosecuted to tbe full extent of the law. There can be DO justification, excuse or mitigation of the act, and for it to pass without exposure and punishment will be but to permit its encouragement and insure its growth. The question of the negro's offense has nothing to do with the more hideous crime of these murderers, for he was a prisoner, in oustody of the law, and certain of punishment for what he had done while they were a mob of outlaws, holding the laws of both God and man in contempt, and they shed the blood of an incarcerated, shackled, helpless human being in tha most criminal, cruel and savage manner. Any good oitizen of Montgomery county who oonnived at, or at least sympathiz9s with such violation of law, not only reflects upon his own section but infiiots dishonor and disgraoe upon the whole state. So it is earnestly trusted that you will at once take vigorous, faithful hold of this matter and give it tbe fullest possible attention. Go upon the ground and institute a fearless and exhaustive investigation, and if you fail there, go before the next Grand Jury ant) press the matter to the bitter end with that body You will always find plenty of true, faithful, law-serving men who will fearlessly and efficiently protect the honor of the country and of the state. Should you need assistance in any way, either in the apprehension or prosecution of these criminals, please indioate your desires to this department and to pur worthy Governor, and every possible support and aid will be freely andoheerful'ly afforded you. Mob law must be put down in Texas, and Texas citizens will do it. In earnest and with great respect, I am your obedient servant, (Signed) J. S HOGG, ,i Attorney General.

SELLING SOULS TO SATAN.

Street-Car Ridini on Sunday Said to Have This Effect. Chicago Mail: There was a lively discussion at the Methodist ministers' meeting today over street-car riding on Sunday. The Rev. J. M. Caldwell had read a paper on the best methods of pastoral work, and deprecated the fact that many pastors were grasping and dinging to their sheep, and even after that they moved seven miles away refusing them to ride past numbers of churches oh Sunday during tneir long trip to this particular church.

Rev. J. O. Foster, of the Sheffield mission, said this street-car riding on Sunday was wicked. As for himself he would walk a mile to ohurch rather than ride on a street car. Many church members were selling their souls to the devil by this very Sunday ridiog. Only last Sunday he looked out upon a passing grip-oar and there he saw Dr. Hardin riding by, bound no one knew where.

The grist mill under the control of Graham & Davis, seems to be doing a good business. They grind nearly every day. Tbe farmers can be seen takicg their grtuu there. The flour made tbere seems to give satisfaction.

It doesn't cost much to get on the grand jury. And as one of our oitizens found, it doesn't take long to get off, when the plaoe was bought.

Last February a young man by the name of Union Rothe, who pretended to be a barber, came here from Illinois and started a barber shop.
