Billmire's Voynge---Strange Story Of
Baltimore Man.

w. II. o. BILLMIRE, the sexton OF
Mount Vernon Methodist Episcopal
Church, who disappeared last October
with several thousand dollars which he
had collected from the pew-renters, ar
rived home to-day, to the great surprise
of his friends and the authorities, who
had been anxiously looking for him as a
defaulter and absconder. Billmire had
been sexton of the church for many
years, was a communicate, and was
looked upon as q consistent Christian
up to the time of his disappearance.
To-day he related his experience to a
member of the church and to the civil
authorities, which, if true, entities him
to public sympathy. His narrative,
however, has several glaring incon-
sistencies, and it is probable that the ex-
sexton will be compelled TO substantiate
the truth of his statements in a court of
law. In conversation with the CORE
spondent of the Sun to-day, Billmire
gave in detail the history of his expert
ence, which is substantially as follows:
On the night of his disappearance he
had in his possession about $4,000 be-
longing to the church, which he had col
lected from members of the congrega-
ton for pew rents. This money he took
to a lodge meeting, and while there re-
ceived a note informing him that his
brother had been injured by fall at
Locust Point, was in dying condition,
and wished to see him. Billmire says
that he was also informed that hack
was waiting at Barnum's Hotel to take
him to his brother. He hurried to where
the hack was waiting, and what fol-
lowed is best told in his own words:
81 was accosted by a man who wish
ed to know if / was Mr.. Billmire. !
told him that was my name. He said
he had been waiting some time for me,
and was glad had come. asked him
how my brother was hurt, and he told
me in a very polite manner to step into
the hack and he would tell me all about
it on our way down to Locust Point. /
noticed, as 1 stepped in, that there was
another man inside, and that the blind
was down over the door. He gave or
ders to drive to Locust Point as fast as
possible. He began to tell me how my
brother was hurt, and said that when he
left him he was under the influnce Of
chloroform. He asked me if did not
detect the smell of it on him. This hap
pened on the lonely part of the road af-
ter leaving Federal Hill going to Locust
Point. leaned forward as he held his
hand out to smell, when the man beside
me hit me on my head with some heavy
instrument, l suppose billy, and
knocked me on the opposite seat.

what is it Wa are now told about these sales;
1t is stated that in many GASES where the
farmers themselves did buy, they obtain ed the
quota they paid down at first on loan, and the
representations are now general that the install
ments in the shape of rental cannot be paid up.
Nothing is more crejible The complaint
must often be founded on truth; but what Is
the situation Of the Church Temperatures Com
missioners with these pleas OF inability brought
before them 7 1t is the legitimate consequence
Of the position these Commissioners have been
forced to assume anc We may we'll pause
before multiplying such relations wholesale.
We have confessed that the situation in
Ireland is in the highest degree unsa'isfac-
tory, and Mr.. Bright is not to be blamed
for offering his contribution upon it. 1t is
a welcome variation from recent exercises;
but the value of his suggestions is grlev-
ously diminished by his apparent inability
to understand or to cope with the cfltl-
cisms that have been made upon them. lt
is also true that all these plans FOR altering
the StCtuS of the enant do not touch the
radical cause of his Wretched conditions
They try to remove the symptoms
of the disease, leaving its source uiIcured.
Suppose Mr.. Bright's or Mr.. ParpelPs
scheme perfected, and 600,090 tenants con-
Yerted at once into proprie-Ors OF the lands
they hold, what would be the result n
great many would have some years OF com
paratiye,y pleasant living; but the poor
creatures in Donegal, Mayo, and Galway
who are now starving though they pay no
rent would not be less starving because
they were relieved OF a legal obligation
they do not fulfl. ELUSIVE benevo!ence
will not heal the wounds Of Ireland with -
breath, and they cannot be healed until
men nave the courage of bringing home
personally to its p~eaSantry the lessons OF
prudence, and are willing to undertake the
labour of trying by local action to bring
them into better condition. 1t is a task
requiring self.deyotion, great patience, q
resolution not to be discouraged under
failures, and a prolonged time. To per
form it will require the cooperation OF land
lords, instead OF their abolition. There
were men who set about it under
the terrible visitation OF tive-and-thlrty
years ago, and our present experience Will
be turned 10 good account If it leads others
TO follow their example.

A WARD IN
BROWN V, DIXON 23rd Jam.

An application was made i'll this case for
the release from prison Of a young gentle
man named James Knowles, who was COM
mitted to Holloway Prison OH the 18th inst.
for contempt of Court in running OIL WITH
and marrying a ward i'll Chancery.
Mr.. Gl1sse, &C, and NJ. Rigby, who
anpeared for the defendant, said the gem
tleman who had been guilty of this con-
tempt of Court was only - years OF age.
He had 10 doubt committed a great fault,
but he was very sorry for what he had
done, and begged to express his sincere
cOntrit.on to the Court. lie now hopet
that as he had hitherto borne Il good char
acter the Court would not longer retain
him in custody. Tn learned couiisei then
read several testimonials which had BEEN
given to the applicant by persons OF the
highest resDectability, among which was
one by the headmastcr of the Northampton
Grammar School. All these gentlemen
spoke of his previous good character and
p~raiseworthy conduct.
Mr.. J. Pearson, &C., appeared for the
guardians of the ward.
The Vice-ChancellOr said 1t was exceed
ingly difficult to know what course ought
to be taken in this case. This application
was based upon the testimonials of
persons of great responsibility, who had
given the defendant a very high char
acter, and his Lordship was much infu-
enced by these testimonials, which sta
ted that the defendant was a steady, hard
working, business-like young man, and 1t
appeared that the only mistake of his life
was that which he had now committed OF
clipping with a ward of Court. This was a
very grave error, particularly when the
age of the young lady, who was only IL,
was taken into consideration, and the fact
that she had no father or mother or any
relation who could advise her. In these
circumstances, the young man had formed
a deeply-laid plan. He had come up to
London and taken lodgings in Charlotte
street so as to obtain a residence sufficient
for the marriage. He then went to the
school where the young lady had been
placed at Southgate and visited her with
the connivance of a friend of hers some
times between IL at night and 2 in the
morning /; and when all the household were
gone to bed he had a cab in readiness ana
took her off to town, where he married her
the following day. This was 2 fransac-
ton which he would regret Is long - he
