C. Lawrence, Geo. p. King, Stephen J.

road TO the Eastern was read. Inquiry was
made by ex-Mayor Guppy of Dover, as to the
effect Of the act in case of the lease of the
Eastern to the Boston & Maine. Col Hack
EFT Of Portsmouth, explained that in case of
such a lease, the Boston & Maine would take
the Eastern road subject to all its liabilities
for rents for connecting lines, and stated that
the lease in question was one of those obliga-
tions. The lease of the B. & NJ, therefore,
would give additional security for the pay
meDt of the rental and correspondingly in

BROOKLYN BRIDGE DISASTER.
the Bridge Superintendent and
Others.
New YORK, June 4.

New YORK, June 4.
The inquest was begun today in the cases
of the twelve victims of the recent panic on
Brooklyn bridge.
G. c. Martin, bridge superintendent, was
the first witness. He testified that at the
time of the disaster there were % special
police officers on the bridge. A railway had
been put up at the stairway since the acci-
dent, but the witness said that this precaution
would not remedy matters there in case of
another panic. Tie present stairway was
the best arrangement that could be made for
the safety of the passengers.
James s. T. Stranahan, a member of the
board OF bridge trustees, thought the bridge
in its present condition as safe as it
could possibly be made, and on days when
there was an unusual pressure one of the'
wagon roads would be thrown open to the
public. The opening of the railroad, how
ever, would without doubt relieve the diff
Guilty and the promenade would be used
principally bv sight seers. As temporary
relief. however, if it should seem best, addi
tional walks for foot passengers could be
constructed on each side of the carriage ways.
This would be preferable to flooring over the
railway, as the weight in the latter case
would be cast upon the inner cables which
now bear the greatest strain.

AMERICA AND ITALY.
The Pope summons the Archbishops TO
Rome.


New YORK, June 4.
The collection of Peters Pence AT the
Catholic church yesterday for the Pope, was
so small that il has been ordered TO be col
lected again next Sunday A Rome despatch
says that letters were issued by the Propa-
gapda some days ago. and are now on the
wav to New York. summoning all the Amer
lean archbishops to Rome to receive papai
instructions, and to make preparations for
provincial council of the whole American
church next year at some town in the United
States not vet designated. Although the
reasons for the summons are only ircldetaliv
political, the archbishops will. OF course, De
required to report on the state OF poiitlco-
ecclesiastical affairs in America. and special
" in regard to Ireland. The object of the
council is to tighten the bonds connecting the
Cath ,lic church of America with Rome, and
to concert various disciplinary measures
tending to render the mode of spiritual ana
social life of Catholic ecclesiastics more
austere and severe than under the influence
of fdemocratic-republican institutions as 1t has
become lately. The greatest Importance is
attached to this council by the Vatican.
Clergymen attached to the cathedral in this
ci,y saw of the above: II have no doubt
that the primary cause for summoning the
council, is that the disturbances in Ireland
have brought censure on the church. As
these disturbances are said to have been In
measure caused BY American contributions
to the Parnell and other funds which have
been more or less cCuntenanoed by the clergy
here Rome undoubtedly thinks that the only
wav to abate the evil is to authoritively con-
deran all countenance of such movements by
clergymen.

FROM WASHINGTON.
THE STAR REUTERS.
Merrick suli Talking to the Jury.

WASHINGTON, June 4.
In the criminal court today at the hearing
of the star route trial. Merrick continued
his address to the jury. Ntrrick declared
that frequent slow service was far more
valuable than an unfrequent expedited ser
vice. The foreman said that perhaps the
length of the route would make a difference.
Merrick replied that the proposition was true
regardless of the length of the route. The
Tongue River route was instancea BY the
foreman in support of his assertion and the
court and counsel discussed the evidence
upon that point.
Wilson charged Merrick with unfair deal
ing in the case, which charge was promptly
repelled by Merrick, who said that three
trips per week on the Tongue river route
under the expedited schedule cost 500, 900
more than daily, but slow service would
have cost. motive for Brady's act, the
jury must find when thev touched the motive
which threw food of light upon the act and
made it pure as heaven or black as hell
Merrick next turned his attention 10
Walsh's evidence. He said Walsh stood un-
impeached and had been cross examined
which was most unusual circumstance. All
that a man had would he give to avoid cross
ing the threshold of the penitentiary and
these defendants hesitated to swear anything
to save themselves. Brady was the only
man to contradict Walsh. while the latter
was corroborated by the other witnesses, and
by their failure to cross examine him they
knew from their experience at the former
trial what witnesses to take up. Brady's
orders could not be accounted for by any
theory consistent with innocence and Walsh
made his motives plain from Brady's own ad-
missions to Walsh.
Ingersoll had called Walsh gladiator and
asked why he did not assail Brady if he had
robbed him of his rates. Walsh was a fine
figure of a man, but so was Brady and the
average American who would tackle Brady,

Another COnspiracy-Carey Obliged 10
Leave Dublin.

DUBLIN, June 4.
The existence of conspiracy to murder at
Carrick on SUR, county Tipperary, has been
discovered. 1t is expected that a number Of
arrests will follow the discovery.
James Carey and other informers who tes-
tilted at the trials here of the Phoenix Park
murderers, have been notified that they must
indicate the places out of the country to
which they wish to be sent. Carey in reply,
protested that he would remain in Dublin.
but the authorities pointed out to him that he
would receive no police protection, and that
on no condition would he be allowed to re-
main in Ireland. 1t is inferred from this
action that the extradition proceedings in the
case of Walsh. Sheridan and Tyner are col
lapsing.

The plans for the Garfield monument at
Cleveland have not yet been drawn. nor
has il been decided where the work shall
stand. A meeting of the Monument
Association will be held at Cleveland
June IS. and it is expected that arrange
ments will then be effected to determine

prominent artists. The funds now in
hand aggregate sl25,00o, and to aid in
doubling the amount a box has been
placed on the vault in Lake view Cemetery
in which Garfield's remains lie. in order
that visitors may contribute to the work,
and. as famous monuments have been
built by triiling gifts on the part OF many
people, it is hoped that the receipts of the
box will aggregate vast amount. 1t Is
understood that the Knights Templar are
to contribute to the monument during

pointment of a joint Legislative committee
to consider the abuses in State offices and in

be wrongfully used.
He therefore asks them to select some of
their own number before whom he can ap-
