The Irish members of Parliament came 10
the front again yesterday, but not as the OPP
moments of assassination. The question was
of an appropriation to pay for the expenses
of the recent criminal trials in Ireland. Inc
Government was accused by Mr.. Parnel anu
his friends of hanging innocent men by means
of packed juries, and of using informers when
there was no need of it. Some weeks nave
passed since those trials ended, and the lrish
members seem to be counting on public Tor
eetfulness of facts to give their charges an
air of sincerity. But the public has not ior-
gotten. 1t was noteworthy fact much com
mented on at the time that during all tne
trials the proceedings were so manlfestly 1air
that even the most radical friend OF assassi-
nation did not have the assurance to indulge
in charges against the courts and the Judges.
And as to the assertion that there was no
need TO use informers in the proceedings
against the Phoenix Park murderers, the irish
members can hardly have forgotten that the
main point of the defence in each case, from
Brady's to the end, was that there was abso~
lutely no evidence against the prisoners ex-
cent the word of miserable traitors

The renewed interest in prize-f fighting,
raused by the last great smuggling match in
Madison Square Garden, has already resulted
I'm another brutal encounter. 1t took twenty
six minutes yesterday morning at Flushing,
L. l., for a Brooklyn rufian to batter New
York rllffian almost into insensibility. The
persons who arranged the fight were the
leading spirits in getting up the Slade-Sulli-
van match. They consider themselves as re-
epectabe sporting men, but it is such side
performances as this one at Flushing which
show how low they really are. If the author
tiles desire it, there is no reason, apparently,
why the principals and lookers-on cannot be
fined and imprisoned for this criminal exhibl-
ton. They and their places of residence are
well known, and there ought to be little
difficulty in obtaining evidence of their guilt
There is no reason to suppose that the meet

Richfield Springs and Saratoga are the two
towns most anxious for the honor of enter
tanning the convention delegates. The claims
of the former seem to be based principally
on the idea that a change would be good
thing Saratoga, however, has many friends
on the committee, and has precedent in its
favor. SO far as has been ascertained, the COM
mittee men generally favor the middle of Sep
TENDER as the date of the convention. No
good reasons have yet been advanced why it
should be later. The Republican party will
welcome long and full discussion of its prin-
ciples before the voters go to the polls.

height of the annoyance was reached yester-
day, when the cutting of cable at Rector st.

The leaders of the strike deny that they
have wished to injure the company's property
IN any way. Probably they have not, but it
has been evident for few days that they
are losing control over some of their fol-
lowers. The way in which the wires have

AS diamonds need to be ground and cut

mankind need the harsh grinding of care

vice and to enable them to reflect the light

Of course much suffering and
pain are the direct results of
sin. They are the immediate crop OF

THE BLOODY COLORADO TRAGEDY

Authentic Account of the Ambuscade and
Killing of the Commissioners of Grand
County.
DENVER, July From a multitude of
conflicting reports constantly being re-
ceived concerning the Grand county
tragedy it isl difficult to get the real
facts of the case. The report, however,
that body of twenty armed men had left
Georgetown for the avowed purpose of
avengipg the deaths of the victims is en-
tirely without foundation. Texas Charley
who left the Springs with Fred Dean for
Grand Lake on Wednesday and returned
Thursday, tells the following story which
is deemed authentic:
Day, Webber and Dean left Mrs. Young's
boarding house for the town, and when
about twenty-five PAGES from the house
were passing lot of pines and rocks,
Webber walking thirty steps behind Dean
and Day, when four masked men jumped
out from behind the rocks and pines and
shot Webber in the back, just above the
hips, the ball passing through the body.
Webber cried Il am shot," and ran toward
Day and Dean and fell before them. The
leader of the masked party, Mills. then
sprang on Dean, knocking him down and
began pounding him over the head with a
gun. Day drew revolver and shot Mills
behind the ear, the powder from the
pistol burning his hair, and Mills fell

on top of Dean. AS soon as Day was shot
the men ran back toward Mrs. Youne's ice
house. Some masked men came up be-
hind him, when Day shot at them and it is
believed wounded one. A shot from be-
hind struck Day and the ball passed
through his heart and Ibody. He
ran fifteen steps and fell down dead in the
path. Webber was unconscious after fall
ing, and at IL. 80 the same night was dying.
His last words were, ''pour some water on
my wounds"
Webber's and Days bodies were taken to
Webber's ranch on Frazer river, from
whence Days body was taken to the
Springs, where it will be buried. Mills will
be buried at Grand Lake. Dean is at Grand
