The Supply Bfl-An Exciting Debate in

The Supply BILl-An Exciting Debate in
 the House of Commons.
 LONDON. Aug. 14.-A stormy debate cured in the House of Commons last night, continuing until o'clock this morning. It arose over the clause in the supply bill ap- propriating money for the prosecution of the criminal trials in Ireland, which was forced to vote somewhat unexpectedly. There was much ill feeling and before 8 vote was reached some strong language was used by members on both sides, the Irish members voting against the government and the great est excitement prevailing. MT. Healey call ed Zone of the crown solicitors employed on the trials in Ireland profigate rufian, which alone created scene and severaI members were on the floor speaking at once Healey was called upon to withdraw his charge and replied that he would not do so, that his position was warranted by facts in his possession and he would not submit to any bullying from the ministry OF the major ity Mir. Trevelyan defended the position that had been assumed by the government. MT. Parnell regretted greatly the fact that the provisions of the bill copied so closely MT. Forster's ideas on the subject of the crimes act which had been so objectionable, while the act itself had been so grossly abused ln enforcing it's arbitrary provisions. He moved to reduce the amount of appropriation, but his amendmant was lost by vote A to 93. The clause in the bill was then adopted by 8 considerable government majority.

Confidential Letters From Carey-In
 Which He PrOfesses Entire Innocence.
 LONDON, Aug I3.-The confidential letters written by the murdered informer Carey to his solicitors while he was confined in jail have been published and make remarkable and unexpected showing. Their whole tenor utterly repudiates his leadership in the moro aggressive Irish movements and he strenu- ously denies that he in any way instigated the Phoenix Park murders. He says it is in credible that he should have for 8 moment involved himself in any such an agitation It would, he says, have been impossible for him to have belonged to any secret society, let alone one intended for purposes of mur der and dynamite, Gnd to have taken the communion of the Catholic church as he has habituslly taken it throughout the last five years. Independently of that fact his home and business relations, much loved wife and seven sweet children for whom he had the deepest affection were he claims quite enough to have prevented him from taking any such steps as he is accused of having taken. He says he could have had unlimited bail when arrested, need never have gone to jail at all and might have made his escape whenever he chose Carey's figure will be introduced at Madame Tussaud's and it is said will be made to illustrate the circumstances which attend ed the informer's death.

Facts and Figures.

When you see an advertisement offering
al article for less than half price, you may
calculate they are either worthless or stolen.
a business man had better advertise none
if he cannot tell the truth. EStey Organs
and Stietf Pianos are two of the best in
st-un,ents in the world money cannot buy
better. Agents who are dealing in a cheap.
worthless class of Pianos and Organs will
soon lose confidence in themselves, and SO
will every one else. You cannot do better
and no danger of being humbugged if you
buy Il Stietf Piano and Estey Organ. Don't
allow yourselves to be taken in with cheap
advertisements, you will generally find their
Pianos and Organs dear at any price and
simply trick to get you. a man who ex-
poets to deal fair cannot afford to sell you
first class goods below their regular market
value. If you want any more facts on
Stetf Pianos and ESty Organs you can have

A Great Work.

The Country Week Association has done
:, noble work for many years, and it is as
well organized us any banking institution.
Twenty-Five hundred children have been
sent into the country this summer for
week each nearly all of them to boarding
houses, the free boarding system having
been almost done away with. $4,000 has
been expended in boarding and railroad
fare: all of this sum has been raised by I'M
solicited subscriptions to the work. The
railroad company charges one cent Il mile
for transportation and the boarding is OBJ
tanned for s. week. Nearly all the chill
dren are sent to points on the Baltimore
Central, for the reason that the Association
finds the railroad officers and the boarding
house proprietors more obliging and cour-
teoUS along this route than and any other
line.

A Partial Explanation.

1t was rumored on the street here last
Monday that Mr.. Donohue, of the firm of
Donohue & Terry, contractors on the new
Il. II o. railroad, had taken French leave
without settling up his affairs. We are in
formed that the rumor is incorrect. The
following, from the Wilmington Erery Eren-
ing of Thursday, will partially explain the
matter
A telegram from ElktOn requesting the
arrest of Il man named Donohue, 4 b. & o.
Railroad contractor, near that place, who
had started for this city with three horses
and mule in his possession, was received
by Chief of Police Hawkins on Monday.
The man was taken into custody at the Co
lumbia Inn, and the sender of the tele-
gram was summoned. He soon arr vel and
explained that he and Donohue were part
nerS, and claimed that he was part owner
of the animals, but he could furnish no
proof of his claim. Donohue produced pa
pers showing that he was owner of the
beasts, and he was released.

A Birthday Surprise.

On Tuesday night last, DR.. Il. IL. Tut, OF
the Fourth district, was agreeahly sur
prised by company of his friends, who
called at his residence to celebrate his birth
day with the presentation of Lew set OF
carriage harness, lap robe and whip, to-
gether with rugs and many articles sulta-
ble for comfort and utility. The guests
were from Elkton and vicinity, who, ap-
preciating the doctors virtues, goodness
and faults, gave him their tokens of friend
ship and esteem. The company would have
been larger, but for the threatening weather.
The surprise was SO complete that the doc
tor was about to retire for the night, when
his visitors walked in. They We're well en-
tertai ined with the dclicacies of the season.
After spending the evening i'll the enjoy

On Monday morning, Captain IIo ward

received a telegram from the captain of
the Delaware City nine, asking il IA game
could be played that afternoon if his men
came over. An aMrmative answer was
sent and in the afternoon the Delaware
City men drove over and Il game was
begun on McIntire' S meadow. The Elk
ton boys took the lead from the start and
kept it up until the beginning Of the
Eighth inning, when dispute arose,
which eliminated in the match coming
to an end.
The pitcher of the Delaware City club
made balk, which was the cause OF
McCullough's being caught at second.
The umpire refused to call balk and
decided the runner ont. The captain OF
the Elkton nine objected to the decision
and refused to go on with the game. The

continue the play, as they saw a cleaI

BAf,TINORE

Willie Cooling, a lad of fourteen years
of age, son of Captain Zachariah Cooling,
of Chesapeake City, in this county, was
killed by being run over by locomotive
in Baltimore on Monday last. He went
to Baltimore with his mother and sisters
the week previous to remain over till the
Oriole, stopping at the house of DR.. Jas.
Dickinson, on the corner of Baltimore
and Pine streets. On Monday morning
he was sent on an errand to the house of
an aunt on Conway street, and on the
way back he stopped at Camden Station
to watch the arrival of car loads of peo-
pie t1ocking in to see the great show and
while crossing track was knocked down
and run over by shifting engine, crush
ing his light arm and left leg in terri
ried to the University Hospital and cared
for by the physicians there; but he was
too badly injured to survive, and at 3
clock in the afternoon he died in the
presence of his agouized mother. His
father arrived upon the schooner Carl
dora (Which he commands a day later,
expecting to meet his family and spend
two or three days there seeing the sights
of the Oriole, but instead was greeted
with the terrible news of his SON $ death.

parents have the deepest sympathy of

But his figures failed him, for he found that
even upon very low tide he could not get
out. He was completely cooped. Several
days passed, and each tide an attempt to
get under the bridge was made, but with
out success, until at last the loss and ex-
pense of such delay rendered him desperate,
and he took the only course open to him
that was to pump water enough i'll his res-
sci to sink her sufficiently to pass under the
bridge. by this means he got out of his
coop on Thursday evening. This certainly
is a strong argument in favor or draw
