riage. and alighted when he saw the chief
secretary, and joined him in his walk. An
Irish haunting car containing four roughly
dressed men drove up behind them and stop
ped. The four men left the car and immedi-
ately assaulted Lord Cayendish and Mr.. Burke
with daggers and blnndgeons, and when they

The London O5serrer's dispatch from Dub

der of Lord Frederick Cavendish and Mr..
Burke. A boy states that while bird-nesting
in Phnnix Park Saturday afternoon he saw,
about 300 yards from him and close 10 the
road, group of men, who appeared TO him
to be wrestling. He thought they were roughs

then saw two of the men fall and four others

bodies were found, but heard nothing of the
affair Police paraded the park shortly after
the occurrence and fruitlessly searched every
hole and corner for the murderers. Mr.. Burke

Now that arctic expeditions have turned
out so disastrously, the next protector of
one should be confined as mailman. For
quarter of century or more efforts have
been made to find a northwest passage,
and many lives and vessels have been lost
These expeditions have been useless ex-
penditure of life and treasure, as nothing
of value either to commerce or science could
ever result from them.

The shipherd Investigation.

1t is probable nothing special will result
from the Shipherd investigation at Wash
ington. 1t has been shown that Shipherd
who is a renegade preacher, got hold of
some worthless claims against the Peruvian
government, amounting to thousand mil
lions of dollars, an amount that some French
man claimed as a royalty on the guano
taken from beds he says he discovered. To
get Peru to pay this money, Shipherd en-
ployed Senator Blair, of New Hampshire,
as counsel, and gave him 100000 stock
in the claim. Before taking this, however,
Blair consulted Blaine, then Secretary of
State. and was assured that there was moth
ing in the way of his becoming counsel for
Shipherd. Gen. Grants name is mixed up
in the affair as endorsing the claim, and the
names of eminent bankers was employed to
give further weight to the scheme, though
without their knowledge. Shipherd in-
weighed our late minister to Peru, Gen.
HurIburt, into his plot, and he, Blair, Blaine
and Shipherd were using personal efforts
and the power of the government to force
the payment of the claim. 1t does not APP
pear from the testimony that Blaine got
any stock or was promised any. That, no
doubt. was to be attended to after payment
was received. Shipherd was doing the
planning, Blair was to engineer Blaine in
his policy toward Peru and Hurlbut was to
carryon the negotiations with the Peruvian
government. Chill, who had vanquish-
ed Peru in battle, desired, as the terms of
peace, both the eession Of territory and an
indemnity in money. Peru really had no
government, but some leader set himself up
as President, and Hurlbus was instructed to
recognize it, and to use his good offices to
get hearing in the courts for the Cochet
claim. Blaine also undertook to intereede
to prevent Chill from demanding ceSsion
of territory, knowing that Chill would de-
mand the guano deposits, which would rob
Peru of her most valuable territory and
forever shut out the payment of the Ship
herd claim. When Garfield died, Blaine
saw that Arthur's accession would relieve
him of his secretaryship, and he then I'M
dertook to clear up his record.
The investigation is still going on, bat
nothing Of special importance will result.
Blair has claimed eounsels privilege and
viii not exhibit his correspondence with
Shipherd, and that cannot be unfolded.
Blaine is now out of the Office of Secretary
of State, and cannot be impeaehed or other
wise punished; Hurlbut is dead, and there
is no law to punish Shipherd. Had Gar
field lived We should prubsbly have been
plunged in war with Chill over this fraud
ulent claim. As it is, nothing can be done
but to expose the scheme, which places
Blaine, Blair aud Shipherd in any but
favorable position before the country. This
will not be any serious matter 20 either
Blair or Shipherl, but it may have some
bearing on Blaine's candidacy for the Presi-
deney.

The Democratic State Central Commit
tee has been called to meet at Barnum's
Hotel, Baltimore, on Tuesday hext, for the
purpose of arranging times and places of
holding congressional and Judicial eonyen-
tons, and primary meetings for the same.
While it may be desirable, perhaps, to de-
fer the Baltimore city primaries and con-
ventions until after the new registration
has been completed, it would be well to call
the rural conventions earlier. Conventions
ought not to come too close on elections.

A CARD.
To he Friends Of Western Maryland College

Ii has already been announced that arrange
menis have been made for the erection Of a
building for School of Theology, on the lot
adjoining the present College grounds on the
east side. Although this is matter of inter
est to our citizens as a public improvement,
no special appeal is made to them for finan-
cia aid, because it is expected that this viii
be furnished by the friends of 1he School,
whether here or elsewhere.
But the College itself, being IN the most
emphatic sense, an institution for the 5eaeft
I Of al, founded aud conducted on the broadcast
and most liberal christian principles, has a
special claim upon the succour and support Of

where il is located, and of Carroll county, Of
the adjacent counties, and of the State at
large, whence most of its students come, bring
ing to US much advantage in many ways, as
well rs deriving much advantage to them
selves.
II is manifest that such an institution can
only be efficien; in proportion to the hberall-
~ Of It's friends Whatever income il receives
from students is expended for their benefit.
The building we have, had TO be provided by
the contributions of its friends, and whatever
other building it needs, must be provided in
the same way.
We have now great need of another build.
ing. aud am about to inangurate a simple
plan to raise means for erecting one, IN which
plan | respectfully ask the cooperation of all
friends of the College. Ii is my purpose TO
send az once to every person from whom |
have reason to believe | shall receive sympa-
thy and aid, brief circular setting forth the
plan and making the appeal. Ii any friend
Of the College fails TO receive copy of the
circular, | win supply one upon being IN
formed. The plan does not contemplate n
large amount from any enc friend, but an ag-
gregase Of small contributions which win en-
able as 90 erect the building we need We
hope every friend viii find il convenient to
give at least one dollar, but We do not dictate.
Many viii doubtless freely contribute FIVE or
ten dollars, and some perhaps more, but if
aH sriu gire SonsetAia9 tie plan triH succeed.
Prompt reports Of the progress of the effort
will be made TO every contributor. See Cir,

President Arthur signed the new Chinese
Bill on Monday, and it Is now law. liz
provisions are given in another column, and
it viii be seen that it differs very little from
the bill he vetoed several weeks ago, except
the time of prohibiting Chinese inmigra-
ton is reduced from twenty to ten years.
President Arthur signed the bill as a par
tisan. He does not think its provisions any
more proper and lawful than those of the
vetoed BILL 1t was signed to save the Re
publican party from inglorious defeat.

DAY DAwNING FOR NIRGINA.-The New
York Sun says: 1.-The coalition in Virginia
which Malone invented and managed as a po-
litical speculation may be said to have collaps-
ed. The elements of which the coalition was
composed were too incongruous TO adhere to-
gether long after the spoils had been distri-
buted. Malone and Riddleberger have sue
eeeded in getting seats in the Senate, some of
their principal lieutenants have been paid off
with Federal and State patronage, and Gamer
on is Governor. The honest rank and file,
who were inyeigled into the business, became
disgusted long ago and sufficient number of
them revOlted in the State Senate TO prevent
the eonsummation of a scheme to gerrymand-
err the State into congressional districts for the
benefit of certain readjuster politicians. Little
doubt is now entertained that the people of
Virginia will repudiate the repudiator and his
crew at the fall election.
