by the fact that no evidence came forward,
was such as to at least dull the ardor of
pursuit if not actually shield the conspira-
tors But we are told this was not the case.
Several persons witnessed the bloody strug-
gle and the manmuvres of the car and its
occupants Each of these witnesses has
gone and freely told his story to the au-
thorities. Minute statements were given
openly, and as published in detail, show
no effort at concealment. If all these per-
sons had no fear to testify openly at the
inquest, giving descriptions of the assas-
sins and the car driver. it is not likely that
others could be restrained from giving in
formation privately, especially when in
spired by the hope of large pecuniary re-
ward. 1t has been suggested that the gov
eminent does not want to arrest the assas-
sins. The fact that the assassins are not
brought to justice is used as reproach
against Ireland, just as the long immunity
of the James gang was made a
reproaeh to Missouri. Perhaps the
scoundrels at large are more useful to the
English government than they would be in
IRONS 1t is stated also that the govern
ment has information that Gladstone is
marked as a victim should the slayers of
Cavendish and Burke be seized. Enough
Importance is attached tt. this information
to cause unusual precautions to be taken
for the safety of every member of the cabi-
net. Parnell has also been granted police
protection. The most atrocious designs
are attributed to the secret societies, and
the longer the assassins remain undiscov-
cred the more mysteriously potent will
these societies seem to be Dublin is, of
course, the one part of Ireland most
loyal to the government. 1t is there
that official patronage is dispensed, and
there all who profit by it may be counted
upon, as rule, to be willing to aid in put
ting an end to disorder. just now the rib
bon societies are terrible bugbear. The
Liverpool Post takes the lead in demand
ing that everying known about them, their
membership, their organization and inten
tions, so far as can be ascertainsd, be pub
lshed fully, SO that the whole public may
be on the watch for them. The police UNI
know much, bnt, police-ike,
they insist on secrecy, There is DISPOSE
ton to refuse to believe that the Dublin
police are really as much at sea about the
murderers as their helter-sKelter actions
would indicate.

BARRETT POINTS.

The arrangements and scale of prices
for the Barrett performances are now COM
pleted. The programme will be one that
will include Shakespearian tragedy and
refined English comedy. The bill is a
double one, of rarely seen merit, Barrett
appearing as lshgloek in the Merchant of
Venice" and as Ddrid Guvick in Robert
sons three-act- comedy of that name. The
cast will bring out the full strength of the
excellent company supporting him. In
both of the characters Barrett has beer
seen by Davenport audiences here before
"a four nights engagement during fair
week some years ago.

An event commented upon by some
newspapers as of significant political in
terest is the fact that the agent of the New
York Associated Press at Washington has
been recently discharged because he al
lowed MIR. Blaine to revise the report of
his testimony before the congressional
committee. The political significance is
discovered in the fact, which this action
Enthusiastically attests, that five of the seven
papers of the New York Press Association
.the Herald, Times, Sum- World, and Nail
and Erpress antagonistic to Blaine,
the Tribune and Post only being friendly.
This is fact of significance and value,
but it is scarcely as interesting to the gen.
eral public as the further fact which it
serves to illustrate, that the Washington
bureau of the New York Press Association
has for years been completely
und the control of Mr. Blaine
This supervision of its reports by that
gentleman, for permitting which the
agent has been removed, is only the last
of long series of similar acts Which be-
gan long before the agent nov dismissed
had anything to do with this Washington
bureau Blaine has always understood
and appreciated the power of the press
and found way to influence the Asso
ciated Press agent to treat him more than
kindly. It cannot be said that false re
ports have been sent In his interest, but
his speeches haye been given with a COM
pleteness and detail with which few other
congressman. and no Democrats, have been
favored. This classifying by omission,
rather than commission, has been system
atically, persistently and continuously
pursued for long time, and. despite the
removal of the agent now, it viii continue
in the general interest of the Republican
party, even if no longer continued in
Blaine's interest

Thompson, the victim of the tragedy, and
Adolph Hoffmeister, the man on trial.
Thompson had been drinking quite freely,
and words were passed between the two,
Thompson speaking disparagingly of his

told him to shut up, and go to his brother
and tell him, and not talk there about it.
Thompson then approached Hoffmeister
in threatening manner, using some vile
epIthets. and they came to blows. They
were separated, and Thompson again APP

behind his back in suspicious manner,

A Good Housewife.

The good housewife, when she is giving
her house its spring renovating, should
bear in mind that the dear little inmates
of her house are more precious than many
houses, and that their systems need
cleansing by purifying the blood, regulat-
ing the stomach and bowels to prevent and
cure the diseases arising from spring malaria
and miasma, and she must know that there
is nothing that will do it SO perfectly and
surely as Hop Bitters, the purest and best

easily quieted by the reflection that it is

The Alleged Sale or the Richmond and
DanYflle Railroad.

For n week or more southern papers
have been publishing rumorS and state
ments to the effect that the Baltimore and
Ohio Railroad Company had purchased a
controlling interest in the Richmond and
Danville road through the Standard Oil
Company.
Whatever may be the future OF the road
and 1t Is uncertain enOugh-there is no
foundation, al present, for such reports.
Mr.. Rochafeller, who Is interested in the
standard Oil Company, has made large pur-
chases both OF DaDville and Terminal stock.
but he Is not yet known as the holder OF 4
controlling interest.
Since Mr.. Stewart and Mr.. Bryan sold
out there have been considerable changes
In the stock-list. No large blocks appear
In the name OF any new man. The names
on the books are numerous and not familiar
ones; but 1t Is certain that Mr.. Clyde. Mr..
Rochafeller, and General Logan, II acting
together, are the masters OF the situation.
But Mr. Rockefeller has probably bought
Tor speculative purposes, and il is not
known that he is more intimate with the
Baltimore and Ohio than with the Pennsyl-
vania Central.
IL is suggested that the Chesapeake and
Ohio railroad may care TO become the owner
Of the DanviIle. 1t could raise the means
II 1t desired, and once in control would
make Newport News instead Of West Point
the deep-water port. Mr.. Clyde, ON the
other hand. has large steamboat interests
centering at West Point, and would, there
fore, be inimical to any scheme which
would iniure them.
The Danyile Company controls the Ter
minal Company, and the Terminal con-
trols the Midland. sum in the neigh
borhood Of 10000 900 would probably buy
a majority OF the stock OF the Danville road
now-that is, if large holders are terrorized
by the late decline.
The secret OF the last panic in Danylle
stock has not been publicly revealed. ii
known. There was a rumOr that the diyi-
dends were not earned, and that that start
ed the jump. The denial made by the
friends OF the company ought to be satiS-
factory on that point. 1t is now regarded
rs probable that there was a concerted
effort to run the stock down by parties who
wanted to buy il up ut a low price. lis
present price is phenOmenally low for a
diyidend-rayng stock, while the business
prospects OF the road are very bright-in
fact, never were 80 bright.
The following paragraph came from New
York by Associated Press last night:
"The officers of the Richmond and Dan
Vile Railroad Company positively deny the
statement made in morning paper here
that the Standard Oil Company had pur-
chased controlling interest in the road"
