ernor of South Carolina but at present a
resident of Napoleon. Drury was clerk
in {. A. kneeland's dug store, and in
company with several friends, among
whom was SCOTS son, was enjoying a pri-
vate party. Young Scott, being somewhat

but to remain with Drury, who slept in

THE London Times of the 57th, in lead
ing editorial, says: "The government has
apparently some suspicion that behind the
agrarian organization in Ireland, other
projects are being hatched. 1t is proba-
bic that a mischievous gang of Irish
American tilibute ters who were the authors
of the Fenian rising in 1867, are again at
work. They find the masses flushed with
triumph over law, and abundantly fur
nished with arms which have been sold in
hundreds of thousands throughout Ireland
since the peace preservation act was al
lowed to elapse, six months ago. 1t is i'm
possible to be sure that they will not set a
match to the train.'
