Governor of Sphakia. was twice attacked
by the people of the Province while pro-

Seven more Provinces had voted for q
Union with Greece.
The Cretans have at this day declared

Sultan. forming part of the Dominion OF

to mollify his bellicose compatriot, by an

says saw, well, you know its all right to

The STATESMAN stated distinctly its be-
lief that the article attacking Mr.. Wolf was
written by Radical member, and used
these words: II sls-k {a5..9 81
/ "Oar opinion is. that the article was writ
ten by some Rad. jealous of Mr.. VOLTS
great talents though no real name Is signed
to It. We despise the man who could do
such a thing"
: The attempt to mix the STATESMAN in the
quarrel between Mr.. Wolf and the Journal
is but another evidence of the Radical au-
thorship of the communication on which
that paper comments. It is evident that
they are afraid and jealous of Mr.. Wolf,
and are determined to suppress him at all
hazards. 1t is evident they dispise all men
of Mr.. VOLTS race and belief, and take this
means-to them seemingly safe one-of
expressing that contempt. We herewith

BOUND ov5Ezak.-T1,h,ee IA. trial before the MAY

!, r rr .trr 70 f-rr- q. ~
BOUND OvER.-The trial before the May :
charged with an assault on Policeman
Hughes with an intent to kill him, result
ed in the parties being bound over in the
sum of $500 each, to answer the charge of
assault and battery. As there is great
deal of feeling in regard to this case, be-
cause Of MIR. Bresnahan's well known, more
than ordinarily peaceful demeanor, lead
ing those who knew him to believe that it
would only be on the strongest provoca-
tioni that he could be induced to strike a
man, we publish the following brief sum
mary of the testimony.
On Sunday afternoon, Bresnahan, Carroll
and some others were standing at the stove
in the National. when Officer Hughes came
in and invited Bresnahan to join him in a
glass. Because of the arrestof Bresnahans
brother, tor some angry words spoken a
week or two before, Mr.. B. did not have
the best feeling towards Hughes, 80 he re-
fused. telling him to "go away" The in
vitation being repeated, Bresnahan replied,
s.go away and let me alone. 1 won't drink
with such a dog as you are." This excited
Officer Hughes, and after explaining that
he could not avoid making the arrest OF
which Bresnahan complained, threatened to
:" lock him up in ten minutes" saying that
he was not afraid of any man of the Bres-
nahan family. Words grew between them
and as Hughes turned to go away from
the stove, Rreanahan, now terri
bly, excited, struck Hughes in the
back of the neck, knocking him senseless
on the fioor. He also kicked him several
times after he was down. From the evil
dence we can draw only the conclusion
that both parties were to blame. Officer
Hughes, when he saw a disposition on
Bresnahan's part to avoid conversation
with him, should have let him alone, and
Bresnahan should have remembered the
good old Irish idea of fight, "never strike
man behind his back, and never strike him
when he is down." The better plan Is to
avoid striking altogether.
