Churchill stated that when he threatened TO re-

as the Doctor would not believe him, and he
therefore resigned rather than witness any more
brutality. The inculpated keepers were previ-
Ously employed in the Utica Insane Asylum.

The PHILADELPHIA ADMINISTRATIVE and
factions in Philadelphia are in an awful
muddle. The Independent Republican
Reformers first put a full ticket in the field
Then the Machine Republicans nominated
full ticket, and ignored altogether the
candidates of the Independent Reform Re.
publicans. Then the Democratic conven.
ton met, and nominated a ticket of their
own, ignoring both OF the other tick cts.
Then a part Of the Democrats seeded
and united with the Independent Reform
Republicans, tho joint concern uniting on
King, the Democratic nominee for Mayor,
and Hunter, the Independent Reform
nominee for Receiver of Taxes. Things
are therefore badly mixed in the Quaker
City. If the Democrats and Republican
Independent Reformers do not all unite on
one ticket, there is a strong probability
that the machine Republican ticket will Ls
elected. 1t appears that the greatest cor.
ruption exists in the tax department and
in the Gas trust, and it is these offices the
Reformers are struggling to reform. The
election takes place this month.

Excitement in England.

The most exciting news that has passed
over the Atlantic Cable for long time is
that conveying the information that thirty.
i've Irish members had been removed from
Parliament. In referring to the matter the
New York Herald says:
1.-THE bold proceedings Of the Speaker Of
the House of Commons Thursday, will act
like an electric shock upon the Irish race
on both sides of the Atlantic Pnrnell.
Dillon and the whole body of Iriah obstruc.
ZIONIST have been put under arrest, and escor.
ted out of the House by the London police.
These exciting events are a consequence of
Ddvltt's arrest in Dublin for alleged viola.
ton OF the conditions of his ticket Of leave.
DaVitt's arrest naturally aroused intense
Indignation among the Irish members
They began by demanding the reasons for
It, and, not receiving answers which satisfied
them. they put themselves in an attitude

There is danger, however, Of provoking

unanimous English support for measures OF
extreme vigor, and if the Irish should be
precipitated into resistance by force it
probably expects to make short work against
