Tho Irish Troubles

Archbishop Croke, of Cashel, replying
to the address of branch Of the Land
League. advised tenants to tender fair
rent. If refused, the fault would not be
theirs. 1t would show that the Irish can.
for their country's sake, endure insults
and injuries. He declared that the gov
ernmcnt had established a reign of ter
rOr.
After the tenant farmer Dohcrty, who
was decoyod out of his house at Carrisan
during Wednesday night, was shot, the
murderers visited the house Of his cousin,
who had also been ''Boycotted'' in conuec
ton with an agrarian dispute, and after
vanly endeavOring to decoy him from the
house, fired through the windows, but
without effect.
The sub commission of the land court
sitting at Belfast gave four additional de-
clsions. reducing the rent rate in each
case about % per cent. The day being
market day, there was large attend
ancc of farmers, who received the an,
nouncement Of the decisions with great
delight.

A Queer Set OF Editors.

The York Republican is decidedly re

complied with wlc, it prints the regular
Republican ticket ut the head of its cdi-
torial columns 3: which it does with ac-
curacy from Baily down and it don t
let Wolfe's name appear in big type in
the same locality us the independent Re.
publican candidate, after the fashion of
the Lancaster Nor Era, which is So oh
jectiOnable to the EraminCr.
But when it comes to the expression of
opinion in the editorial columns, the Rich
ard of the York Republican is himself

Baily and the regulars and applauds
Wolfe and the Independents must make
each individual hair or the heads of his
Stalwart Republican readers stand on end.
" Vote for Charles S. WOIfe," he SAYS:
. he is honest, brave and competent and
one of the purest and best Republicans
in the state beside" " a vote for Baily
is vote for one of the slaves of the ma

of the Republican party which
is indirectly the cause of the
cowardly assassination of President Gar

exhibiting. The Ne,r Eru Of our town
displays its idiosyncrasy by publishing !
both candidates names, and reasons why
brit. should bc elected to fill the one Of |
flee. The Pr.ss of Philadelphia |
prints neither candidates name,
hut publishes things which should
make it support Wolfe; while its
elitor keeps tie account square by
fierce speeches in the rural

A Female Murderer.

An extraordinary murder case is now /:
progress at Arkadelphia. The defendant
are Miss Sarah Stokes and Mrs. Elizabctl
Shelton, who are charged with the mur
der OF Miss Melinda Stevens The TRACED,
occurred near Mineral Spring, in Howard
county, one day last April. The Stoke.
and Stevens are prominent people and live
on 'adjOining farms. Sarah Stokes is q
young and handsome Cir! of seventeen
Her mother died years ago and she has
had charge of the household affairs cyel
since, looking after the comfort of hc,
father and brother.
Some time ago sister of Miss Stevens
made very dcrogatOry remark concern.
ing Miss Stokes, and this coming to the
ears of the latter she swore to be reycnccd.
1t is said that the girls were rivals, eacl,
wishing to be considered the belle 0; the
Eciglbolhood. However this may be,
Miss Stokes at once mounted horse, and
accompanied by her sister, Mrs. Shelton,
set out to find Miss Stevens, who they
heard was doing some shopping in u
neighboring town. The two women
reached the place after short and rapid
ride, but Miss Stevens had been somehow
warned that they were searching for her
and advised to keep out of their way, and
had acted on tho suggestion.
After visiting all the stores in the village
without finding Miss Stevens, the woman
started to return home. Miss Stokes was
very angry at the failure to discover the
girl who had, as she alleged, DETAINED
her. and expressed a determination to keen
up the search until Miss Stevens was found,
Presently the two came by the dwelling of
the StcvCnscS, which stood near the road
side. The mother of Miss Stevens was
standing i'll the yard, and Miss Stokes adj
dressed a few passionate remarks to her,
The conversation brought out Mss Mclin

Stokes enemy ; the girls soon became iu
VOWED i'll a bitter dispute; Miss Stokes
Genied the statements made by the elder
Miss Stevens as malicious falsehoods, and
the girl warmly defended her absent sister.
At last the taunts of Miss Stokes stung
Miss Stevens to the quick, and size started
lmpulsively forward as she approached
the open gate Miss Stokes spranr from the
horse and plunged a long, keen hladcd
knife, which she had concealed in the
Bosom Of her dress into the neck of the
girl. Miss Stevens sank on the
ground, the blood gushing from the
wound in torrents. She died in a few
minutes. The inquest disclosed that {.
'ock was tightly clasped in one of her
lands. Miss Stokes and Mrs. Shelton !!
we're promptly arrested, but have been out |
