THE POPE
And His Circular to the Catholic
Clergy in ireland.
Full Text Of the Document Which has Gre
ated so Much Commotion Among
ParneIrs Friends.

New YORK, May 27.-The following is
the full text Of the circular addressed by
the Holy See to the Irish Bishops, and dis
patched from Rome to each OF them on
the llth inst:
Whatever may be the case as regards
Mr.. Parnell himself and his objects, 1t Is
at all events proved that many OF his fol.
lowers have on many occasions adopted
line OF conduct in open contradiction to
the rules laid down by the Supreme Pontiif
in his letter TO the Cardinal Archbishop OF
Dublin, and con ntaiped in the instructions
sent to the Irish Bishops by this
sacred Congregation.
and unanimously accepted by them at
their recent meetings at Dublin. IL ist true
that. according 10 those instructions, IL 10
lawful for the lrish TO seek redress FOR
their grievances and To strive Tor their
rights, but always at the same time OBJ
serving the divine maxim TO seek iirst the
kingdom Of God and His justice, and re.
mcmberipg, also, that II is WI" ked TO
further any cause, no matter how Just, by
illegal means.
1T is therefore the duty OF all the
clergy, and especially OF the Bishops, TO
curb the excited feelings OF the multitude,
and TO take every opportunity with timely
exhortations TO recall them TO the justice
and moderation which are necessary in all
things, that so they may not be lei away
by greed Of gain TO
Mistake EVIL For Good.
or to place their hope OF public prosperity
IN the shape Of criminal acts. Hence IT
follows that il is not permitted TO any OF
the clergy to depart from these rules them.
selves or TO take part in or in any way
promote movements inconsistent with pru-
dence, and with the duty OF calming mems
minds. II is certainly not forbidden TO
collect for the relief OF distress in Ireland;
but at the same time The aforesaid apos-
tolic mandates absolutely condemn such
collections as are raised in order to htlame
popular passions, and to be used as means
Tor leading men into rebellion against the
laws. Above all things they-the Clergy
must hold themselves aloof from such
subscriptions when it is plain that
Hatred and DissensionA
are aroused by them; that distinguished
persons are loaded with insults; that never
in any way are censures pronounced against
the crimes and murders in which wicked
men stain themselves: and especially when
II Is asserted that the measure OF true pa.
trio,ism is in proportion To the amount OF
money given or refused, so as 10 bring the
people under the pressure OF intimidation.
I'm these cifGpps tances II must be evi.

called the 'PaTnell Testimonial Fund can

tion, and, consequently, IL cannot be toler'

John Bird Shot Down in the Pres

Murdersr's Children.
Special Dispatch to the Register.


STEUBENyILLE, O., May 27.-The COM
munity was startled this morning by the
announcement that a man had been muir.
dured on Church street between Adams
and South, aud that the murderer had
given himselfup. Repairing to the scene
your reporter found the news was true.
and that John Bird, employed at the
Nicholson brick yard had been shot and
instantly killed by Alexander Myatt, OF or
near Mansfield, Pa. The following are the
Facts OF the Murder
as related by Birds wife: Two years ago
Alexander Myatt came to this country from
England with his wife and eight chill.
dren and settled at Mansfield, Pa. Myatt
was a coal miner and with him worked
John Bird. Last August Myatt and his
wife agreed to (not getting along well to-
gether) separate with the understanding he
was to keep the four Oldest children, and
the wife the four youngest After separa-
tion the wife came to steubenvilIe, and
with her came Bird, although she
Had Not Been Divorced From Myatt.
On the 10th OF August, 1882, few days
after coming here, she was married to John
Bird, Squire May officiating. They have
been living happily together since. Last
week Mrs. Bird read letter from her old
est son, Arthur Myatt aged fifteen, who
was living with his father at Mansfield,
stating that he wanted to visit his mother.
She gave the letter to Bird, and the latter
invited Arthur to come to-day Sunday
and he Bird would meet him at the train.
This morning the train brought Arthur,
and with him
Came His Father.
Bird met them and told Myatt he could
see his wife il he would cause no trouble.
Myatt promised, and the three went to the
house together. Arriving there Myatt
asked Mrs. Bird (or Myatt) to come back to
him, saving to her that she was not Birds
lawful wife. she refused to go with him.
He then asked Bird to give her up. The
latter refused, saying he would stick to her
volyer, and saying
..Take That, You Bloody Bagger,"
shot Bird through the head, the ball en-
tering under his right ear, killing him in
stantly. Myatt then started for the May
or's Office, but was arrested on the way,
and Is now in Jail. Myatt is hfty-tiye
wears old and Bird twenty eight, and the
woman in the case thirty-hye. She is
rather prepossesSing and intelligent, and
is almost wild over the bloody deed. After
the shooting Myatt expressed himself sat-
isfied with what he had done, saying:
ANY man with any spunk would have
done the same" Coroner FOgg took
charge of Birds remains, which weze
viewed by hundreds OF people.

WASHINGTON, May Pin reference to
the mention made that Majer Nickerson's
'awyer had remarked that it was singular
that his wife should not have known, as
she said she did not know, OF his suit for
divorce while pending or uatil after his
marriage, it is said hare that it is not at all
remarkable, since she was IN Europe and
few even of his most intimate friends
among army officers in Washington knew
OF ii until after his second marriage was
published. Some OF them even then
thosght there mast be mistake about the
announcement, and refused to believe in
the divorce.
There Was Little Chance
of his wife hearing of it in Europe, as her
nearest relatives were all in California and
her brother.ia law in New Mexico with his
regiment.
In regard to the rumors OF courtmar-
tial it is said at the War Department that
nothing will be done in that direction
until after the suit for annulling the di-
vorce is decided by the civil authorities in
Philadelphia, and their action may save
the trouble and expense OF military
trial.
Fairs Divorce.
A party of ladies from the Pacific State
were discussing in Washington lately the
divorce OF Senator Fair and mentioned
how much he owed to the popularity OF
his wife, to whom they considered his elec-
ton to the Senate was mainly due. The
law of California, which has forced him to
divide his property equally with his wife,
is one the passage of which was due to the
exertions OF Justice Field, now of the
United States Supreme Court. This law
gives half OF the fortune made after mar
riage in case of the husbands death or Of
a separation resulting from no fault OF
hers. Another California law, passed
through the influence of Justice Field, is
that which, in case of bankruptcy, secures
to a workman his tools and to woman
her homestead,

A BLACK BRUTE'S CRIME.
A Subject for the Moose, and Judge
Lynch I'm Pursuit.


SAVANNAH, Ca, May 27.-While going
from school in this city to her home at
Schuetzen Park, delightful resort in the
suburbs, yesterday afternoon, young
lady, Il years old, was attacked by burly
negro, who made improper proposals. The
young lady made fiery retort, whereupon
the negro suddenly threw her shawl over
her head and attempted TO choke her. She
resisted with all the desperation in her
power, and her cries attracted the atten
ton of a gentleman who was inspecting a
field near at hand. Rushing from the field
he reached the road Just in time to
see the form OF the fleeing negro
disappear in swamp and the
young lady lying on the ground in
conyplsions, with her clothing nearly
stripped from Her Body.
Several ugly gashes from which blood
flowing told of her desperate resistance
and her asSailants successful attack.
Physicians have been in constant attend
ance at the victims bedside since her
rescue, and tonight fer condition, owing
to the frequency OF the convulsions, is
considered extremely critical. Great ex-
citement prevails in this city, where the
young lady is society favorite. As soon
as possible after the discovery Of the crime
a searching party led by bloodhounds
secured the swamp and started in pursuit
OF the fugitive negro. Up to this hour,
however his capture has not been effected.
II he falls into the hands Of the searching
party it is not improbable that he will be
strung up to the nearest tree.
