der of Thomas Callahan. whom he shot and killed at
place called Boone Hill. the outskirts Of Scran-
ton. the LIST Of june last. has crowded the court

On the 31st OF May they together with sew
eral other young about nine o'clock in the even
ing and began fooling. Callahan caught Barrett by
the ear. remarking that he could wiring it Off. He
hurt Barrett and quarrel ensued. during which
Callahan whipped his antagonist. whom ho kicked
several times. Barrett then to the city, had
his wounds dressed and appealed to police officer
to protect MIN as far as his boarding house, which
lay short distance from where Callahan lived. Tho
officer did not accompany him. but placed him
in the care of two young men going that way. They
escorted him home. and about four hours after his
quarrel with Callahan, Barrett, still smartng under
the ndiqnity of the beating he had received obtained
revolver and started out in search of his opponent
He met Callahan with his companions the road

The object OF this to offset probable claim
by the defence that the State could not fully estab-
lsh the similarity OF the lots purchased by Hayden
on the day of the murder and by Cogrove twenty
later, both Mt the same store. The reason
would be that as Colgrove's package came from the
bottom OF the jar IL might be from some other lot
than that from which Hayden's came.
NEARING DECISIVE POINT.
"The microscope shows that of the hundred or
more samples all appear 20 be arsenic excepting

flames threatened to destroy the whole

st. Dominique side of the village made its way
to Hypolite street. and. burning northward in the
teeth of the wind. crepr to Rachel street. The Mon
treal fire brigade came none too to save tho
village Had it not been for their arrival it is hard
to say whether the flames would have stopped short
OF the St. Lawrence River, taking great part of
Montreal on tho way. At about halt-past four
the walls OF Renaud's place. large brick tenement,
tumbled in with crash, and from that time one
after another the rest of the houses fell until ut
half-past five, twenty houses were in ruins. The
hremen worked hard and were aided by tremendous

A dispatch from Columbus, Ohio
saws: About s o'clock last Sunday
evening serious cutting ARRAY occurred
near Grove City, village about eigh'
miles west of Columbus. John Ford, !
farm hand, had been paying attentions
to Miss Emma Crab, daughter of {;
farmer living in the neighborhcod O.
of Barber's school house. The Cral
family objected to his attentions, an
ordered him to desist, which he refused
to do. The young lady's brother jane
sharpened case knife week ago fo'
the purpose of attscking Ford on the hrs
opportunity. This occurred on Sunda,
evening when Ford, in company witt
another man, met Miss Crab and another
Young lady near the school house, anC
took a walk together. They were me
by James Grab, who roughly ordered hi
sister home, and slapped her in the fac
to compel her to 60. Ford resented tn
cowardly assault, and Crab, whipping
the knife from his pocket, drove it al
most up to the handle in his back
Ford attempted to strike Grab, but tn
young LADIES seized his arm and pre-
vented him. Crab then stabbed hin
again in the arm, and Ford breaking
loose from the young ladies, knocke'
him down. Grab, while down, drew
revolver, but was prevented from tirin
by those around him. Ford's wound
have been bleeding very freely. TIL
exact nature of that in the back is no
yet known. but it is feared thai it ma.
prove D ,etty serious.

The tenants of Ireland anticipate
giving the British government some
trouble. Upon the present situation
there, the Pail Mall Gazette comedies
that the complaints Of Irish tenant far
mers are mostly genuine; that they are
for the moment unable to pay their rent,
and they believe in their right to re-
main on the land in every event. They
are fresh from exhortations of the most
popular politician in Ireland, Parnell,
to stick to their homesteads at whatever
consequences. If a general refusal to
pay rent is followed by wholesale evic-
ton, this again will almost certainly be
followed by series of agrarian murders,
and unless the Irish Executive is pre-
pared to support landlords by measures
amounting to little less than military
occupation of the large ports of the
country, the landlords will have to
choose between virtually conceding the
tenants claim of fixity of tenure, and
giving the signal for the outbreak of
something hardly distinguished from
civil war Anti-rent agitation is only
one among the other symptoms Of the
general unrest of Ireland.

The murder OF Francis +. Staley
near Greencastle, Indiana, in 1877 still
remains mystery. Greenbury Thomp-
son, worthless character, who, 1t ap-
pears, had been indicted for the crime,
has lust had trial and been acquitted.
Staley was sixty-five years of age, pos.
sessed of considerable wealth, and lived
Ikea hermit in little cabin on his
large farm, several miles southeast of
Greencastle. He was surrounded by a
large number of relatives and acquaint-
ances, with whom he rarely had inter
course, and his only companions were his
cattle and sheep, who occupied his own
room with familiarity. His hermit life
dates back to his younger days, when a
sad disappointment in a love affair
caused him ever after to hate the very
appearance of the softer sex. Although
having a sister living for a score OF years
within mile of his place, the miserable
recluse was so given up to the bitter
adherence of women that he would never
allow her to see him. He was founo
dead in his barn, murdered, and further
than that, nothing is known.

News from Loveland, Ohio. states
that the powder mill Of J. W. King, on
line of the Little Miami railroad, ex-
ploded with such force that the shock
for distance OF seven miles was IKE
that of an earthquake. A correspond
emit to the Cincinnati Commercial says,
The first explosion took in the grind-
ing.mill, followed in few seconds
afterward by the blowing up OF
the dry.house. The two buildings
were blown to atoms, and three
men, who were engaged in manu-
featuring the dangerous compound
were literally torn to shreds. Inc head
of John Simmonds was found on the
opposite side of the Miami River, while
Pastor. the other individual who was at
work with Simmonds in the grinding
department, has entirely disappeared
Not a single vestige Of his remains al
this writing has been identified. In the
the dry-house at the time OF the expo
sion worked a man who had worked LOT
the firm but a short time. No trace
OF his remains has been found.
The theory has been advanced that II
was caused by friction of the machinery
in the grinding department, which wa'
likely The case. The mills turned our
about 225 kegs of powder daily, and il
is more than probable that there were
close to 200 kegs on hand at the time
of the explosion. Nothing but large
black spot remains to mark the spot
where the buildings mentioned stood.
