Important Documents.

LONDON. Nov. IL. The Daily Telegraph's
Marlborough special says that the docu-
ments seized in connection with the arrest of
Tobin, the Fenian at tina. place, relates to
the establishment by force of arms of an Irish
republic. They reveal the existence of an
extensive organization known as the ROYAL
Irish republican society, with numerous
members. The books. rules and list of men,
bers are likely to throw light on the exist
ence of similar organizations elsewhere.

The French Ministry.

LONDON, Nov. Is. The Times says the
composition of the French ministry is some
what of surprise and perhaps a little of a
disappointment. The significance of Paul
Bert's appointment to the Ministry of Public
Instruction, can't be mistaken. The new
ministry, it may almost be said, is not so
much the ministry of Gambetta, as it is Gam
beta himself. 1t is impossible not to see it
in the ascendancy of Gambetta; a certain re-
vival of personal government and a possible
menace to the spirit Of republican institu-
tions. His accession to the office is a turn
ing point in the affairs of France, and posi-
bly, even in those of Europe, but history, and
his career are the strongest security that
Gambetta will be proof against selfish am
billions.
Paris, Nov. 10. The National, reporting
the conversation in the Hobbies of the cham
Der, says the ministerial list was received
with profound astonishment, and that the
comments were upfavorable. Courcer du
Soci thinks Gambetta and the men whom he
had gathered round him deserve fair trial.
The News Paris special says that Bourse is
i'll disposed, owing to the fact that Say is not
in the cabinet. Allan large, the new min
lister of finance, enjoys in frst-class banking
circles high reputation for competence and
respectability.

ACALL ON STOCKTON.
The Reasons for Putting Eighteen
Balls into His BODY.

Durango Coli Record.
Porter Stockton, ex-marshal Of Ami
mas city, met his death at his ranch
in New Mexico, thirty-fve miles down
the Animas, recently, at the hands of
q party of eighteen, who called for the
purpose of exterminating him. They
surrounded his house and Stockton and
wife both came to the door armed with
rifles. Both sides opened fire and
Stockton fell pierced with eighteen
bullets His wife, who had fired one
shot, was struck in the abdomen by
splinter from the stock of her rifle,
which had received bullet. At last
accounts she was living, but no hopes
are entertained of her recovery, as
she was in delicate state of health at
the time of receiving the wound.
Porter Stockton, who is well known,
has been terror to the community
wherever he has lived, and lays claim
to the killing of nineteen men, which
is fair average for man of his years
about 80.
He slew his first man when only II
years of age, for calling him a liar,
shooting the top of his head off.
At Cimarron he shot Mexican in his
bed because he was snoring; and it
proved very ettectual means of stop
ping it. For this he was incarcerated
in Jail. His brother Ike took in some
pies one day, and the jailer kindly
opened the cell, when Ike pulled a pop
and invited him to change place with
Port, which he did. Port escaped on
horse with a Winchester as his pro-
tectOr.
At Otero, Stockton had been arrested
by Hurricane Bill, who was the mar
shall of the place. By some means he
got out, and rode up and down the
streets to get shot at his Incarceration.
Seeing some one who resembled Hurri-
cane, Bill, he blazed away and laid him
low, but it happened to be a disinter-
ested party altogether. 1t counted a
man, however.
At Animas city he nearly pounded
the life out of negro barber, and then
fired his revolver at him, the ball graz
ing the negro's scalp, all because he did
not give him smooth shave. Mr..
Stockton moved out of that burg I'M
mediately afterward.
His last fatal shot was Mt Den Gan
non, the horse-thief.
The immediate cause of the vista
ton on him and his household was the
threats he had lately made against the
lives of half-dozen of the community.
AS he never went back on his word In
that respect, it was deemed by the
gentlemen Interested that he had bet
ter receive a quietus. Therefore the
expedition.

Company.
From the Baltimore American.


A mass meeting of the dentists of
Baltimore was called for last night to
meet at the rooms of the Dental Col
lege, corner Eutaw and Lexington
streets, for the purpose of taking some
action to prevent the extension of the
patent of the Goodyear Vulcanized
Rubber Company DR.. Henry Keech
was called to the chair, and DIR. Wind
er acted as secretary. The president
stated the object of the meeting, and
stated that the company's patent eXpir-
es on June Z, 1881, and called the at
tention ofthose present to the necessity
of taking some action to prevent its ex
tension. DIR. Winder said a circular
had been issued by the company thro'

which the company wish to ascertain
the amount of profit made by the dem
lists of the United States on rubber,
and use the statistics in pressing their
claims for an extension. He added
that he had learned from Washington
that there was no authority for this cir
cuIar, and that the dentists were not
legally bound to furnish the informa-
ton asked for in it. DR.. Gorgas stated
that the circular had been withdrawn
by the Census Bureau. DIR. f. 7
Keech said dentists were outrageously
taxed by this corporation. and were
paying from SO to 81 600 per annum
license to it. He urged the necessity
of presenting to their representatives

amounts paid this corporation. DIR.
Gorgas agreed with him. DIR. Silas
Waters said the members of congress
from Kentucky were pledged to vote
against this extension. DR.. f. ;.
Keech also thought statistics and facts
should be brought before the members
of congress from Maryland. The pres
ident stated that this patent had been
i'll existence for thirty years, but for the
last ten years dentists only had been
paving for rubber On motion, the fol-
lowing committee to see members of
