American Suspeces In Irish Prisons.
LRFrER FROM LORD GRANVILLE 70 MINISTER WEST.
The Department OF State has furnished for pub
lication letter from Lord Granville to Minister
West which Is embraced In the correspondence
regarding Irish-American suspects, and has been
published In London. II Is dated April 9Th, 1889,
and informs MI. West that In the use OF the extra
ordinary powers conferred upon the executive
authorities In Ireland for the purpose OF prevent
ing incentives TO outrages and crime and breaches
OF public order In Ireland no general distinction
being in Ireland, who may have come there from
the United States or any other foreign country In
which they may have rights OF citizenship, and
others; nor have Her MaJestys government gen.
orally, any means OF knowing whether such per-
sons are native Irishmen who have not renounced
may have o6ssined rights Of s eitizenship In the
United States or elsewhere.
After setting forth the reasons for making no
DISCRIMINATION under the suspension OF the habeds
cofpus. the letter says: "It Is impossible either
for Her Matestys government or for the govern
ment OF the United States TO be ignorant that the
present disorders in Ireland have been, and are
stu. to great extent fomented by
that source. As you are aware. Her MaIesty's gov
eminent found IL necessary last year to address
eminent OF the United States, and Her MaJesty's
government cannot doubt that the President and
his ministers must be DESTROYS OF discouragng all
such circumstances, IL is obvious that the efforts
OF Her MaJesty'S government and OF the British
parliament for the vindicaton OF law and the
restoration OF order I'm Ireland would he liable 10
be frustrated II aliens In Ireland whatsoever
nationaiity they might claiml were In any respect
treated as exempt from the operation OF laws
which parliament has found it necessary TO enact
for that purpose"
Lord Granville holds that the principle that IN
such cases no distinction can be made In favor OF
aliens was maintained by the government OF the
United states on the suspension OF the habeas
corpus act in the northern states during the civil
war. He quotes Secretary Stewards Official utter
ances at that time and subsequently In 1866, when
tne habeas corpus act was suspended In Ireland,
In support OF the proposition that an alien
owes submission to the laws OF the coun-
Try in which he may be sojourning. Lord
Granville adds that the Imprisonment OF sus-
poets is not q measure OF punishment, but OF pre-
vention, and Her Majesty government is not desr-
Gus OF OBTAINING unnecessarily in prison any per-
sons from whom no danger TO the public peace is
to be apprehended. 1t Will therefore be prepared
tn consider the circumstances OF any citizen OF the
United States now detained who may be willing
TO engage forthwith to leave the United Kingdom.

SINGULAR ACCIDENTS.


Swallowing Silver Dollars aud False Teeth.
This morning child of c. Rine Baer,
IS months of age, was given silver dol
lar to play with. It put the precious
metal into its mouth and tried to swallow
it, but it lodged in its throat and came
very near choking the baby to death.
Drs. Blackwocd and Levergood were sent
for, and the latter succeeded with pair
of forccps in pulling the coin from its po-
sitiop, but not until the baby had bitten
the Doctors fingers.
Yesterday afternoon a gentleman while
walking along tho platform of the Penn
sylvania railroad passenger depot in this
city picked up full set of false teeth. He
took them into the ladies' waiting room
and asked the ladies sitting there whether
any of them had lost them. An indignant
emo sir" was the answer of all until q

fully exclaimed. "why bless you, honey,

LAWRENCE SPEIDLE'S DEATH.
The COronsr's Inquest This Morning.

The COrOner's Inquest This Morning.
This morning the coroner's jury, consist
ing of John Hull, Allen Pyle, Lewis Mauss,
George Sheetz, T. F. McElligott, and A.
c. Leonard, impanelled to inquire into the
case Of Lawrence Speidlo's death met at
the coroner's office. The men who were
on the railroad train and several others
were examined. 1t was shown that the
loaded cars, which were detached from
the engine, were being dropped
at the rate of between three and
four miles an hour. VIM. Curley, the
conductor, was on the bumper of the first
car, but was unable to see the man until
almost on top of him, an account of a
small framo coal Office, which. obstructed
his view at the place. AS soon as he saw
the man he called to him, but he did not
hear or paid no attention, and he stepped
on the track just as the cars got to the
place. Tho conductor then put on the
brake and stopped it as soon as possi-
who is employed by tho Pennsylvania
railroad company only, but also gives the
Reading track attention, had just stopped
one of Baumgardner's coal teams in time
to prevent it from being run into. He
also called to Mr.. Speidle and so did the
driver of the coal wagon. The jury after
hearing the testimony rendered a verdict
to the effect that deceased came to his
death by being struck and run over by
coal cars, and that the accident could
have been prevented if the company had
had watchman at that point. They re.
commend, therefore, that the company
place watchman there.

THE sectional asperities which were
evoked by the anti-slavery agitation and
promoted by the war were nowhere
more bitter than in the churches which
divided on political and sectional lines.
Nor has there been any greater back.
wardness in erasing and breaking down
these lines in political than in religious
bodies. When, therefore. the division in
that large and hard headed denomina-
tion known North and South as the
Presbyterian bids fair to be healed, it is
very evident that the war is over.
