ROCHESTER, n. Y, August s.
Felix Lynch, an ex-policeman and
member Of the Irish National
League, has made some strange
statements relative to his plans to
kill the informsr Carey. He says
he belongs to the Invincibles, and
that after Carey's death was de-
tsrminsd upon, photographs of the
iuformer were sent from Dublin all
over tho world. Eve received .
picture of him, he said, "six weeks
ago. We were informed, in some
manner, that he would probably
land At Quebec on the Allan steam
er City Of Mexico. Invent to Que
bee, and WAS there when the steam.
or arrived there"
In answer to the question whether
he would have done the work
O'Donneil had done had Carey
landed. Lynch said decidedly: II
would, though I suppose fought
not to say 30 new. I was on deck
by the gangway, and looked over
the passengers as they landed. I
would have known Carey in q min.
ute. 1 had his photograph in my
possession then, and still have it,
but Carey did not arrive, and l
came back home"
Lynch said 10 was somewhat dis
appointed. because he did not have
. chance to give tho be,rayer his
deserts. "When O'DonneIl did the
shooting" he continued. she did it
under an order from the 1nvinci'

y
Mr.. Editor: wish to shake
hands with "Good Order" I am
truly glad to see that you have one
among you not afraid to open his
moath on the side of peace and good
order. What is true in regard to
the disgracefal scene related by
"Good Order" is true in many re
spects in every little town and vii
lage in the parish. Sunday general
Is begins with this lawless class on
Saturday--everything stops work
by noon on Saturday at the latest;
then the bills for the past week are
paid and supplies taken back home
for the next week. In short, the
business of the week is done upon
Saturday and Sunday, from the x
roads merchant to the city dealer.
AS the day advances, the crowd in
ereases, the ''crap" game, high die,
and in few cases, cards, 'scuss"
words-both loud and prolonged
knock downs, drawing and shooting
of pistols is the programme here to
late hour Sunday night, to the
great annoyance ofall good citizens.
don't criticise the right of any man,
be he white or black, to drink-to
even get drunk, to play at E'crap,"
or in short to squander his money
in any way and every way that suits
him, but do. assert boldly and en-
phatically that no man has right to
do, or even countenance anything
which he knows to be Objectionable
to his neighbors and prejudicial to
the interests of good society. It is
just in consequence of such a state
of affairs that our small towns and
villages get the reputation of being
a hard place, to the discredit of fully
two-thirds of the resident popula
ton. Let US keep this thing hot
until our Lawmakers will find it
necessary to spare little time from
the party and the grinding of their
own little hatchets to the interests
of law and good order.

~ This section was visited by a
very severe storm of wind, hail and
rain last Friday night. Many farms
and gardens were seriously damag-
ed by the hail. 1t was the heaviest
fall of hail seen in this place for
many years. The rain fall was quite
heavy-a regular gully washer
It came from the northwest and
passed over an area of country about
two miles wide. Farmers have
cause to dread these spring freshets.
Much damage is often done to crops
and land by the heavy rains.
