The reduction of the tariff on wool by

for 1882, that the clip in Ohio amounted

was then cut down and thrown into the

case of attempted poisoning occurred
near this place. Richard Diver, who
lives some miles i'll the country. became
infatuated with woman named Sylvia
Lambert. Diver is married, and his wife
is said to be an intelligent and sensible
lady. Diver introduced the Lambert
woman into the hOushOld, giving her
the position of hOusekeepeT. She is said
TO be fascinating to accept and reciprO-
cate Divers attentions. For a while
everything went we'll, but at length it
began to be nOised around that she was
Divers paramOur. At this he became
and, as is alleged, determined
to free himself from his wife and marry
Sylvia Lambert. The two concOcted a
scheme to take the life of the patient
and wrOnged wife. Diver caught a
snake, known as the water-mOcc8sin,
severed its head, and his paramOur, as
charged, dropped the head into a cup Of
coffee and gave 1t to Mrs. Diver. For
tunately she discovered the plot, and
thus saved her life, and had her hns-
band and the hOusekeeper arrested on
the charge of attempted murder. The

O'obONNELL'S CONVICTION +.

The conviction and sentence OF
O'Donnell, the slayer of Carey, proHpt-
ly followed his trial. They will be re-
cognized as just by that class OF people
who believe in the vindication of law
and the protection of society. Carey
was an informer, a most despicablS
wretch whom the English Government
has used to convict his fellow assassins.
He was rs much guilty OF the murder OF
Lord Lieutenant Cavendish and Secre-
tary Burke AS either of his oonfederates
who Justly suffered death. The Phoenix
Park atrocity was utterly inexcusable,
there WAS no semblance of cause for the
brutal assassination Of those officers.
Carey was an assassin. II was unworthy
the great government of England to
grant him liberty even if by 50 doing 1t
could convict his fellow murderers.
When he had served the purpose of that
government and had been turned loose,
he was deservedly an outoast. His life
in any event was necessarily a living
death. He saw foe in every face, he
felt himself the scorn of his own coun-
trymen, second edition of lsoariot. He
knew himself to be what the werld es-
teemed him, Il vile treaoherous wretch,
numbering the earth.
Yet with all this, his life, his poor.
craven existence was legally kis own.
The government to whom he had rem
dered service of betrayal. had granted
him the privilege of enduring life. II
had turned him loose and thereby bound
itself to grant him measure of protec-
ton to which morally he was not en-
titled, but which legally inferred in him
as pardoned criminal. There is no
doubt that O'Donnell followed Carey
with the set purpose of his destruction,
and it is probable that he was sent AS
an agent of an organization which had
sworn that his life should pay the pen
atty Of treaohery, and had selected
ODOnnell to do the bloody work. Such
being true, the deed was done with full
knowledge Of its peril, and the conse-
quences Of the act. The conviction was
just, the sentence will be executed. II
should be. The cause of liberty, in Ire
land or elsewhere, cannot be furthered
by assassination, even of informers.
The dark and stealthy methods, where
by innocent people are sacrificed to-
gether with the guilty, dynamite explo-
sions, internal machines. and ether in
ventions Of towards, do not open the
doors Of freedom. nor tend to the up
lifting of humanity. They are relics of
barbarism which should not be resur
rooted. Ireland needs not the aid Of
these appliances. Their use destroys
the efforts of those whose patriotism
aud manhood seek her elevation by hon
orable methods.
