 TONY PASTOR.
 An immense audience assembled at Peck's last evening to. see Tony Pastors variety show. It was fully up to the standard ''Who Owns the Baby?'' is very funny afterpiece.
 At the Atheneum beginning October 9th the Thespian club will hold fair for several evenings. Dancing from to 12. Landrigan's full orchestra will furnish music. good shield will be given for the most popular PPo9ee Podee officer office ., handsome gold Forester and an elegant gold pen and hold. CT for the most popular journalist MALoNEY's RATTLE.
 Following up the parade of the Tony Pas tor company yesterday afternoon was unique specimen of a decrepit horse drawing 8 wagon surmounted by gaudily inscribed transparency announcing tickets for sale for Maloney's raf1e. The horse was not up for raff1e, however; it was simply shrewd ad- vertisement for the play in the American Theater where Joe Sullivan's combination are playing ''Maloney's Raf1e." And when Manager Eldridge came ''to read the list to see who paid" last evening he found that his enterprise was rewarded by full house who enjoyed one of the pleasantest variety shows of the season. From beginning to end the show is one continuous round of mirth-pro- vokng situations, and all who want the lux ury of hearty laugh should take ticket for the 'tRaffie."

The Races at Charter Oak.

HARTFORD, Oct. 3.-There was a small at tendance and little interest in the races of the National Association of Horse Breeders to day. No pools were sold and no bets heard of.

NINE TO THREE.
A MistriaI in the PrOudflt.Win-
berg Case--.ExplanatlOns
of Ugly RumOrs.

At half past nine o'clock this mornN
ing the Proudfit- Winberg jury were
called into court and announced they
had not yet agreed on verdict. They
were accordingly discharged and the
case will be reset for trial at an early
day. Last night the ballot stood eight
for acqulttal to four for conviction.
During the night j. H. Moyston gave
way and voted for acquittal, leaving
Messrs. j. +. Benton, W. B. Royster
and w. ID. Dunn for murder in the
first degree. Thus they stood when
called into court to day.
Shortly after the discharge of the
Jury Mr.. B, B. Barnes got up and
said he understOodit had been charged
he attempted to approach Mr..
Chidester when that gentle
man went home yesterday to
see sick child, and that the Attorney
General had been investigating the
matter. General Turner stated he
had RECEIVED information to that effect
but after investigation knew it to be
untrue. Deputy Sheriff Dean Pope
who went out with Mr.. Chidester said
Mr.. Barnes passed by Mr.. Chidester s
gate while that gentleman within and
calling him, Pope, } to him asked how
the sick child was, telling him to offer
his services to Mrs. Chidester in case
of need, then rode on. Mr.. Barnes
lives near by. All sorts of ugly ru-
mors were ahoat yesterday evening
and it became absolutely necessary
for the whole thing to be thus
ventilated in open court.

for which English cruelty in ireland il
not exclusively raqnonsibla

for which English cruelty in ireland II
not exclusively responsible.
Second, Wo deelsre that the English
government IN Ireland has not defended
the liberty Of the people, but has annihi-
lated It. The statutes enacted since the
invasion amount to a series of coercion
laws, framed to deprive the citizens of
al vestlges OF personal freedom and re-
auce them to outlawry; in order TO con-
nscate their property and compel them to
nee TO foreign lands. Since the beginning
OF tne present century, when the Irish
farllsment was abolished, laws for Ire
land have been made in England and
during that period the habeas corp,Is and
right Of trial by jury have been suspended
more than fifty times. Hordes ofsoldiers
nave been loosed on people forbidden
TO bear arms, and a state of war with All
us attendant horrors, with occasionally
those OF retaliation, has been maintained
Today representatives of the people are
IN prison guiltless Of crime. Freedom of
speech has been abolished; freedom of
the press has been abolished: the right of
peaceable meeting is annulled. and no
mans house is secure, night or dav. from
armed marauders, who NAV insiIit and
harass his family without warrant. A
citizen may be thrown into prison with
out counsel; he may be put on mock trial
before a prejudiced Judge and hacked
jury, and on lying averments of nur-
chased wretches, his 1iberty NAV be sac
rlticed or his life taken in the name of the
law. '' u ''i'
Third, Instead of protecting the prop-
erty of the people the English govern
ment in Ireland has been conspicuous for
Its injury and ruin. Out of 20 500 OOO
acres of producing land 6,OOO,OO had
been allowed to go TO waiste. The own
ershlp Of the remainder, generally ac-
quired BY force or fraud. had been re-
tanned in the hands Of ravenous monopo.
lists who annually drained the country
of its money in the form of rents no nor.
ton of which goes back to the Irish people
In addition to this an iniquitious. system
OF taxation imposes on the people oil
gantic burden for the sustenance of a for
elgn army, for an offensive constabulary
FOL, salary to supernumerary officials
and placement for pensions to Englisl
tavorltes, for blood money for informers
and for a vulgar court whose extrayaeanc,
is equalled only by the sham of its pre-
tensions.

UNDER the recent legislative

licenses cost 81 50 each, not 81 50, as
many interior exchanges have it. The
wisdom of making the tax SO steep is
doubted by many people, but the very
same people would doubtless prefer
paying double that. than to have even
fifty cents per head to pay on dogs.
