EXCITEMENT IN NAvAN, IRELAND.
The Anti.Rent Agitation.

NAvAN, October IL. The Herald cable
says this small town in the county Of Meath
will tomorrow Sunday be politically the
most important place in ireland. The recep-
ton of Parnell by his constituents Is regard
ed as the greatest event of the present anti
rent agitation, which is to give a new course
to the Irish policy in the British parliament.
Navan is an interesting town of considerable
antiquity, and eight years ago the first note
of the National Irish party In the British
parliament was sounded. Tonight the town
is gay with triumphal arches Hotels are
full of politicians from all parts of Ireland.
Members of parliament and representatives.
of the British and Irish press. Considerable
reinforcement of Royal Irish constabulary
have arrived. More armed police are ex-
pected, though no military has yet come. It
is not thought, however, that this increased
police force will be necessary to keep the
peace. 1t is believed that the Sabbath will
pass quietly for all the priests Of the county
around will be present, the number being es-
timated at sixty at least. Never since O'Con-
nells time has there been so many priests

sort as will be here tomorrow. Popular
representatives. priests who were against
John Martin in his day, and land occupiers
are expected in thousands. Ten popular
members of parliament will speak. All will

times mend, and the principles Of Parnell's
manifesto the abolition of landlords, and the
roofing of people in the soil. Parnell him.
self will answer the English Press. The
agitator has received letters of adherence
from twO-thirds of the home rule members.
The meeting will be made picturesque with
banners, bands, uniforms and professions.
The authorities do not know how to meet the
agitation, which is being carried on in .
peaceful and constitutional manner. It 10
rumored, ingeed, that paid agents will en-
deavor to create a disturbance, but an order
has been issued, enjoining the people to main
tain patience, quietude and determination.

THE U. $. SUPREME COURT.


WASHINGTON, October II. The story is
again revived that Justice Hunt, of the Su-
preme Court, will retire from the bench with.
in few months, given way to a younger
man.
He has only partially recovered from the
attack of paralysis which Frustrated him last
winter and his physicians do not think he
will ever be able again to resume his official
duties. He was appointed an Associate JUS
tice by President Grant in 1873, and has only
been on the bench six years.
There is also some talk about Judge Cliff
ford's resigning, but as yet the matter has
assumed no definite shape. 1t is known that
he would have retired before this, but desired
to be succeeded by democrat, and has wait
ed patiently for the election of a democratic
President. 1t is thought now he is holding
OF with the forlorn hope that democrat may
be elected next year.
Since the Supreme Court was organized
in 1889 down to the present time there have
been seven Chief Justices, six of whom died
while holding their commission, and forty
Associate Justices, of whom twenty-one died,
eleven resigned, and nine are still living.
Judge Clifford is the senior Associate JUS
tice, having been appointed by President
Buchanan in 1858. The other were appoint
ed in the following order: Hoah II. Swayne,
Samuel f. Miller, Stephen J. Field, Will
liam Strong. Joseph =. Bradley, Ward Hunt,
and James NJ. Arian.

Some days ago we recorded the suicide Of
Walter Gould at Pittston. 1t appears that he
was living with an uncle, his father and
mother having died when he was an infant.
Last summer, while at work in the hay field,
he received a sun stroke, and being of a par
ticularly frail constitution, the shock not only
Frustrated him, but deranged his mind, and
he has been confined to his bed for several
weeks, = great sufferer from his spine and
head. Having spent restless night, in the
morning he asked his attendants, who had SO
carefully watched over him during his sick
ness, seldom leaving him for a moment, to
leave the room and allow him to lie
down few minutes and get nap. They
consented to step into another room a few
seconds. when he at once arose, raised the
window and running to small pond in the
rear of the house, jumped in and was drowned.
On returning in less than five minues his rel
atives missed him and at once instituted
search, when he was finally tracked to the
water by his footprints being marked npon
the dew in the grass. He was about Is years
of age, and a remarkable pleasant DISPOSE
ton, faithful and intelligent young man.
