Der from Wexford county, strong Par

lyman the situation he long held as CONNER
cial traveller in Ireland for the London sta
tionary house of Costello & Co, offered to
resign his seat in the House On the ground
that his presence may prove embarrassing TO
the Irish leader. The government had
learned of Barry's fromer relations TO lyman
and used know ledge to harrass the Irish
party, but it is said that all the government
knew was the fact stated above which they
used to produce the impression that lyman
had turned informer. The amazement over
Barry's proposed resignation was not les
sened when, shortly afterwards, L. ID. Wyer
Gray, proprietor of the dublin Freeman
Journal. informed Parnell that he intended
TO resign. Parnell was requested by GRAY
to explain that ill health and pressing journ-
allstlc duties nece>>ltateu us resignation.
Parnell of course refused to accept of either
tender and strongly urged Barry and Gray to
retain their seats. Every effort is being
made by the Irish members TO induce the re-
consideration requested by Parnell. The
Forster party point to the conduct of Barry
and Gray confession of the weakness
by the Irish party aud the beginning of a
disruption of Parnellism. which they claim
the governments information is sure to bring
about sooner or later.

committee. The managers are said to
recognize at last the faulty OF running a
party with Il view to keeping voters out OF
it instead OF getting them in, and to be
anxious to make u change. If our i'm
formation on this head is not misleading

Its Record Severely Criticised by the
City Papers.

New YORK, April 5.
Of the adjournment of the legislature the
Herald says: 1T was not so UNANIMOUSLY bad
as might have been expected and in fact not
much worse than legislatures generally are.
The people electing this legislature assumed
that any change must necessarily be advan-
tageous, and they voted the change accord
ingy, and they alone are responsible for the
carnival of thievery and political degrade
ton that has just come to an end"
The World says: If it has not altogether
fulfilled the expectations formed of it, its
record is much more creditable than that of
any republican legislature which has assem-
bled at Albany within the last ten years.
The Times says: 1.-The legislature in
some respects was the most discreditabe
with which the State has been afflicted for
many years"
The Tribune says: 1.-THE legislature has
been chiefly remarkable for its narrow part.

The committee of the council and trustees

others, unanimously adopted the following
report:

ing in the Pennington Normal School the
trustehs find that the trouble had arisen from
misunderstanding, Misrepresentation and
several other causes. Wa exonerate the
principal, c. c. Rounds, from any complaint
against him in the hands of the trustees also,
we find that the action of Miss Perley and
Mr.. Philbrook in Withdrawing from the school
April 10Th was for reasons which, from their
standpoint appeared to them justifable and
in accepting the resignation of Messrs. Har-
per and Philbrook and Miss Perley, no re-

At the citizens meeting Gov. Robbie pre-
sided and made an opening speech urging

were made BY citizens, expressing high re-

tempt ought TO be for a moment sanctioned
TO remove it. The meeting broke up about

not have a recurrence of excitement, and re.
fused TO admit him to bail. He said if the

A NEW POSTAL LAW
70 Adjust the Salaries of POsimasters.

WAsHISGroN, May 5.
The law to adjust the salaries of postmas-
tiers of the first. second and third classes,
and to change the commission allowed post
masters of the fourth class, rendered neces-
sary in view of the reduced rate of postage
upon letter matter from three to two cents
per half ounce, which passed at the last SEES
sion of Congress, provided that the salaries
Of the first, second and third classes should
be readjusted to take effect simultaneously
with the reduction of the rates of postage
fromOctober first. Respecting the pay of
the fourth class of postmasters the act merely
affixed the rates which should apply to them
without specifying when the adjustment
should begin. The clerk of the sixth audi
tors Office, where the adjustment of salaries
will be made, has been working under the
impression that the change in the fourth
class offices should take place at the same
time as the other classes.
Late yesterday afternoon a question arose
as TO the proper construction of the law. and
it was agreed by some of the officers of the
department that the fact that no specified
time was fixed in the act for the beginning of
work in fourth Gloss offices, it made il iu-
perative upon the department to readjust the
pay Of the fourth class postmasters. begin
ming with the date upon which the bill was
approved by the president. Today, the sixth
auditor, Ella. submitted the question to the
first comptroller, Lawrence, and also con-
ferred with Secretary Folger on the subject.
Both of these gentlemen were of the opinion
that the rtadjustment OF the fourth class Off

This decision will compel the sixth auditor
to take up and adjust the accounts heretofore
settled on the basis of the old law. ncmber-

ment of the pay of the fourth class postm.st-

will owe to each Of them an increase of from
s To 40 per cent. according to the amount of
stamps cancelled. and the increase will have
to be paid quarterly when the reduced letter
postage goes into operation. The payment
of this increase necessarily involves large
deficiency in the appropriation. Postmaster

BUFFERS APPEAL
To the State Board Of Heaith-He Con.
siders SanbOrn's Letter a Piece
Of lmpertinence.
BOSTON. NAV j.


Gov. Butler has sent long letter to the
certain correspondence addressed to him BY
Mr. Sanborn, secretary of the board in Feb
ruary last in relation to the Governors
inquiries as to the number of dead sold from
Few hsbury, he claims that Sanborn's letter
which is enclosed, is piece of unparalleled
impertinence. He was convinced as to the
impropriety of this letter that on the 2lst of
February he dictated letter to the chairman
OF the board which upon reflection he dill not
send for various reasons. He also received
another letter from Sanborn dated May lst
which he also considered so impert1ent that
he requested Sanborn to address him no
further communications upon any subject
except in answer to inquiries.
The Governor SAYS: "Nothw outstanding
this | received another letter from Sanborn
stating that the attorney general had given
the board two opinions"
He appeals to the board to require San
born to cease from distracting the attention
of the Executive from other important and
laboriuus duties by continual impertinence
ind unsought correspondence. He cannot
refuse to receive the communications from
him AS long as he is an organ of the board
and should only do so as Il last measure of
self defense. He does not consider Sanborn an
officer of the government. His appointment
has not been consented to by any Governor
since 1879, neither has he taken the oath
required by the laws of the State necessary
10 qualifying him as an officer. Such being
his condition he cannot consent to Sanborn's
acting further as secretary of the board, nor
can he allow any money drawn from the
treasury ~ be used under his direction.

A fire caught in the barn Of John O'Gara
in the southeastern part of the village. There
was a strong wind and the cinders set fire to
q dozen buildings and for two hours the de-
struction of the south and west ends OF the
town. ircluding the business porsiun, seemed
inevitable. Help from Lebanon and students
from Dartmouth turned out in mass and did
effectual work. The flames were got under
control about 23O. Prof. Henry Parker,
while on a ladder passing water, was struck
by q falling chimney. His skull was crushed
and his condition is critical. The losses OF
nine people will aggregate about $4,000.
upon which individuals have insurance OF
about $4,000.

Today crowds of people from this and ad-
joining tow ms viewed the ruins of yesterdays

among the families. many of whom were des-
titute. Professor Parxer's condition Is more
hopeful this afternoon, although his skall is
fractured there is no compression OF the
brain. His mind has been clear from the
first.
