his health. His disease was that of slow,

precipitated by long confnementin South

Arrival of Head Center Stephens
in New York.
Nrx., w.


Stephens, Head Center of the Teniaus
who arrived here yesterday, was met OF
his arrival by committee of the f. b.. an(
by thousands of Irishmen, who wer,
anxiously waiting for his arrival. He pro.
ceeded from the wharf to the Metropolitan
Hotel, followed by the crowd, where h,
VIII remain for the present. Mr.. Stephen.
remained IN his room, conversing with the
committee and receiving the calls of such
friends as he chose to meet.
In familiar conversation with the repor-
ters OF the press Mr. Stephens gave few
hints OF the object of his mission, and con-
fdently asserted that the Irish army would
fight on their own soil ere the expiration
of the present year. The Committee OF
Arrangements expect the Common Coun-
Gil to give Mr.. Stephens reception.
There will also be grand demonstration
at Jones' Wood, when the Head Center will
fully explain the object of his mission to
this country.
Mr.. b. Doran Killian, has issued a war
bulletin to the Brotherhood, in which he
states that he has made no report of his ac-
tions heretofore because the public should
not know everything connected with war
purposes until the action proposed Is de-
feated or is successful. But he proceeds to
state that his enterprise on the Eastern bor-
der is only temporarily baked, not defeat
ed. He concludes by stating that he and
Mr.. O'Mahony are on the best of terms
not enemies, as public opinion has it.

Democratic Mass Convention.
SATURDAY, MAY 10, 1899.

The Democracy Of Montgomery County
are hereby requested 70 assemble In Mass
Convention. at Beckel Hall. in the City of
Dayton. on SATURDAY. THE 18TH DAY
OF MAY. 1896, for the purpose Of appoint
ing Delegates to attend the Annual State
Convention Of the Democratic Party. to be
held In Columbus. on THURSDAY. THE
18th DAY OF MAY. A. ID. 1866. to nut in
nomination Candidates for the several
state Offices to be filled at the ensuing Oc-
tober election.
Montgomery County is entitled to eleven
delegates, according to the basis of repre-
sentation.
The issues before the people are of the
most important character. Among these
may be mentioned the speedy restoration
Of our Federal Union, with all the rights.
equality, and dignity of the States unim-
paired, but Which Is now unhappily pre-
vented by q faction of vile demagogues and
malignant traitors, who seek to cover their
guilt. under the euphonious title of Union
men; and yet, by force of numbers, deny to
eleven States of this Union, the right of
representation, thus adopting the spirit and
doctrine of disunion itself. They are seek
ing to reduce these States to mere depen-
denotes, to place their citizens In a state of
tutelage, and to exercise a tyranny over
them, in denying to them the right Of self
government.
These high-handed usurpatiOus need to
be heartily rebuked by the true patriots of
the country, and the lovers of Union aud
Constitutional liberty. From. such a CEN
tralized despotisn, in the hands of fanat-
ical ard powerful faction. no real liberty
no wise government. and no real union can
proceed, or bepreserved. Let every citizen
who is opposed to the schemes of these
conspirators. malignants and destructiyes
now in the so-called Congress of the United
States, and who cherishes the institutions
of our fathers, the principles of true free
dom. the choice blessings of civil liberty I;
who appreciates the benefits and necessi-
ties of local State Government; VINO re-
veres the Constitution of his country, and
who is opposed to negro suffrage and equal
ity, and all the abuses of power which have
characterized the past five years of our ma
tional history, be in attendance.

Committee. Il. THOMPSON, Chm.

takes place at Huston Hall, Tuesday eve

In number, represent the scenes Ia Milton'i
Paradise Lost illustrating that great
poem from beginning to end--the graudest
subject in the world. 1t is pronounced by
the press. clergy and people everywhere te
be one of the finest and most sublime ex-
hibitious ever witnessed, and almost divine
In its character. We clip the following mo-
tlce of II from the London Times. 1t was
written by the celebrated Rev. c. II. Spur
geon, while the tableaux were on exhibit
tion in that city:
"The Miltonian Tableaux of Paradise
Lost which were exhibited last evening for
the first time at St. James Hall, Is one OF
the most remarkable exhibitions we have
ever witnessed 1t fully illustrates and
with thrilling effect Nilton's great poem,
from beginning to end. The scenes repre-
senting Heaven, the gathering of the An
gels around the Almighty's Throne to hear
new decree, the war Of the Angels, and
the casting out of Heaven of Satan and his
hosts, and Satan on his throne of royal
state addressing the fallen Angels, are all
really sublime and of immense power con-
veying to the beholder the most sublime
and exalted idea of Heaven, and an awful
and impressive idea of the Internal regions
below. The scenes representing the crea-
ton, the beautiful sunrise upon the young
earth for the first time, the moonrise, and
finally the view inside the Garden of Eden,
the magnificent landscape scenery, water
falls, lakes and pastoral scenes are each and
all worthy the study of an artist.
"Parents should, by all means, have their
little ones attend the afternoon matinees OF
this pleasing and instructive exhibition,
and have impressed upon their youthful
minds the solemn and sublime truths OF
mans disobedience and fall and Gods ON
Impotence"
We doubt whether Huston Hall win hold
half of those who will endeavor to gain
admission the first evening. and we would
advise an early attendance to avoid the
rush around the ticket office. A grand
matinee will be given on Wednesday, FRI
day and Saturday afternoons, commencing
at three o'clock precisely. Doors open at
two. when the price of admission will be
reduced to twenty-five cents; childrenn
fifteen cents.

LAW REPORT.
SUPERIOR coURT-JUDaE HAYNES.


Y Wnl. Broddrup and soife VS.. Samuel Wood
mans heirs and epecators, and John lShelbv
This acton was brought in 1860, by Mrs.
Broadrup and her husband, stating that in
1913 she was the wife of Granville Shelby,
by whom she had one child--,John Shelby /:
that Granville Shelby, then owning a piece
of land of siXty-siX acres. and having en-
listed la the regular army for five years,
and being about to go away, transferred
said land in trust to Samuel Woodman,
father of Mrs. Broadrup for the purpose of
maintaining ner and her child, and of paw
ing back to himself some small sums of
money advanced by him to Shelby. The
claim of Mrs. Broadrup Is, that his heirs
should now convey to her and her son, John
Shelby. the siXty-six acres, and that the
executors should account for the rents and
profits. which more than overbalanced her
maintenance, for which she did labor at
home. f.nn
joan Shelby, the son, by his guardian.
claims the whole land for himself upon the
ground that the trusts had ceased. and the
resulting trust was in him as heir to his
father.
The heirs and executors of Samuel Wood
man resist the claim of both-aIleging that
the transfer by Shelby was sale to Sam
uel Woodman. upon the conditions of
maintenance, support aud education of
John shelby and the support of the wife
which conditions were always performed
and they claim further as to John Shelby
that he received a legacy of S2,5OO which
his grandfather Samuel Woodmat, intend
ed to be in lieu of his interest in the land.
Testimony beard-argued by Houk and
Mcmahon for Mrs. observation-disclosures
Sullivan for John Shelby, and Conover and
Craighead for Samuel Woodmau's heirs and
assignees. Decision reserved.
