 The Irish AgitafiOh-Relatfve Danger
 from the Fenfans and ParneIites-The
 Situation in the Commons.
 LONDON, Aug. 25.z-A dispatch from Dub in to the Times says: Some additional alarm may perhaps be prodaced in regard to the state of Ireland among people at a dis tance by the disclosure of Fenianism made by correspondent of the New York Herald in Ireland. Very few, however, will be alarmed or believe it to be important. secret society of Irish republicans does exist, but it is comparatively. harmless Such an organization has attractions for extreme fanatical enthusiasts. It is evidently recognized by the Parnellites 1; but an association of fanatics is an associa- ton of essentially discontented men; and they are beginning to .grumble at the small ness of their share of the glory of the anti English agitation. Neither itself nor its or gans in the press are thriving financially. The ParneIlite organization is much more important.
 MT. Parnen has sent telegram from the House of Commons expressing his regret that only some thirty members, or less than one-hah of the Irish party, were present Tn the House on Monday. Ample notice was given that the estimates would be taken up at that sitting, and an urgent whip was issued elapse before the Irish constabulary estimates can be carried, MT. P@nen trusts that more members will be present when they are reached. a

 Young Girl sedueed and Deserted-Dy-
 ing From the Effects of an Abortion.
 CHICAGO, Aug. 25.-The discovery of abortionist Dr. Charles Earll has caused a decided sensation. His victim, Etta A. Car roll, was an attractive girl nineteen years of age. It appears she had meetings with a young man who is unknown to her mother or to the police. This young man gave her gold watch, necklace and rings, and ceeded in ruining her She visited Dr. EarH and he demanded $25 for producing the abor- tion. She gave the watch as security and the operation resulted in her death Earll, it is supposed, intended to dispose of the body in some manner, but becoming frightened and supposing he was discovered, he dragged the body out of his office to the door of 8 neighboring physician in the same house, to divert suspicion. The body was there found by the police The doctor and his son, aged fourteen years, were arrested. The doctor tried to throw the blame entirely on the girl, and affected to be- lieve that her death was caused by heart dis ease, but the physicians who made the post mortem examination testified that the heart and lungs were in good condition and death was apparently caused by peritonitis result ing from attempted abortion. The coroner's jury held Earll for the crime without bail to the grand jury. His son was discharged. The police are trying to find the young man who was the cause of the girls death. The remains will probably be interBed at the expense of the Grand Army of the Republic, as Miss Carroll's father member of that order. The family came from Oeonomoewoc, Wisconsin Dr. Earl has an unenviable reputation as an abortion ist In 1874 he murdered beautiful young girl named RoselleaJ Jackson from Marston, Wis, by the same nefarieus practice. He served a year in the penitentiary for that, and was afterwards prosecuted for procuring an abortion on Mary Morgan, but escaped punishment.

General schofield Not Removed.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 25.-"You can say," said Secretary Ramsey to a reporter of the National Associated Press to-day, ''that there is not one word of truth in the statement that General Schofeld was ordered from the command at West Point, and afterwards re- scinded If he is to be relieved from his present post, I do not know of it. As changes often made in department con- manders, General Schofield may at some time be relieved from his command. That there is to be any change on account of the Whitaker matter is denied on the highest authority.''

 BOSTON, Aug. 25.-Tuesday morning Peter Kendrick, fifty years of age, was found at his home in South Boston with an ugly wound in his throat. The wound was dressed and he explained it by saying that in his sleep Jesus and his blessed mother appeared to him and told him he had killed two men, This made him feel so badly that he deter mined to take the law into his own hands and end his life. Not having knife or a pistol handy he broke a looking glass, and taking a jagged piece of it attempted to cut his throat. The man does not appear to be crazy. No one can account for the deed.

Upon being informed that no still-born child had been reported to the health board she broke down, and bursting into tears, confessed that she had placed the remains of the child in confectionery box, covered them with vinegar so that no odor would be emitted, and then burned them on Mon day morning. She said that Dr. Beatz and Mrs. Wahlrous had attended her during her confinement. Edward Scheidler aged 12 years, a son of Mrs. Scheidler was also ar rested. He said he saw the body of still born child in the water in basin five days ago, and on the following day saw body in box. Yesterday morning when he awoke his mother informed him the child's funeral had taken place. He cried so piteously on being arrested that the police discharged him.
