Two More Phoenix Park Murder
ers Sentenced to be Hanged.

DUBLIN, May 2.-Patrick Delaney
and Thomas Caffrey, two more men
charged with participation in the
murders of Burke and Cavendish,
were arraigDed for trial this morn
ing. They created a sensation IN the
court room by pleading guilty to
charges against them. Both were
sentenced to be hanged June I'd.
When Caffrey plead guilty he was
informed that the Crown gave no
hopes Of mitigation of the sentence
of death which would be passed upon
him. When Delaney was called he
pleaded guilty and said, II was
brought into this at first faolishly,
not knowing what it was. 1 was
forced from my work to go to the
park. We had to obey the order of
the society or take the consequences.
When I got in the park I could not
get away. I saw the murders COM
mitted but took no part in them.
The murders we've committed by Joe
Brady and Timothy Kelly, and
by nobody else. When Caffrey
was placed in the dock his face wore
smiles. The consequence of his
pleading guilty was again fully ex-
planned to him in open court, but he
persisted in his plea. On bein g a ,ked
whether he had anything to say why
sentence should not be passed upon
him Caffrey replied: "All 1 have
got to say, standing on the brink of
the grave, is, that I did not know
what Was going to happen until ten
minutes before the murders were
was bound to 90 to
the park under pain of DEATH"

were much amused, but Mr.. Conk-
ling did not resign his seat that time.

VIRGINIA CITY, NJ. t., April 80.
EDITOR MINER The appearance
of fine weather has given an impetus
to mining interests hereabouts and
the different fiume companies
along Alder have begun operations
in earnest. Machinery for concen-
tration having been ordered, con-
tracts for buildings will soon be let,
and before July we will have ma
chinery in operation sufficient to re-
duce thirty tons per day. We esti-
mate that there is enough now out on
the different dumps within = mile of
this place to keep the works busy for
some time, and new discoveries are
being made daily. Many criticisms
have teen made here concerning the
selection of staff officers by the Gov
ernor. Many say, Howell he has
chosen, while others remark there
will be Warren his camp if he gets
any Fuller of his dam phoolishness.
Should this admirer of eleven
hundred dollar canine beauty he in
need of any more material, Virginia
can furnish q few veteran captains
and colonels who served their coun-
try during the late unpleasantness
and who bear the scars of many bat
ties, and who also fought, bled and
waded Camas creek when in pursuit
of Joseph. They are heroes, and
should not be left to sink into OBJ
livion unnOticed and unhonored.

to you, give them a lift.

The Pork Middle.

LONDON, May 2.-The Times pub
fishes special from Berlin which
undertakes to explain the misunder.
standing or misrepresentation on the
part of the German Gazette in respect
to the republication in New York pa
pers Of Minister Sargent's report to
Secretary Frelinghuysen upon the
pork question. The point of the
special correspondents explanation
Is that what was published day be-
fore yesterday in the North German
Gazette was in reality the report of
Sargent to the State Department.
It was printed in order to show that
the North German Gdzette's late per-
sonal attack which the Sargent would
have been justly entitled to consider
paper upon his privileges as foreign
ambassador was based upon an incor-
rect translation by the New York
Hanaels-Zeit,t,.g, Of Sargent's report.
The North German Gazette in re-
producing the report, pretaces it with
which the Times correspondent char
acterizes as a weak and transparent
attempt upon the part of the manage
ment to excuse their unwarrantable
attack. This is the only excuse
vouchsafed by the Berlin paper, and
it is the general opinion here that
while the apology is humble enough
it must be regarded nevertheless as
entirely inadequate, since it con victs
the North German Guzettc of gross
Misrepresentation of truth.

A Serious Riot.

New ORLEANS, May IA Times.
Democrat Marshall (Texas) special
says: At Gladwater two negroes were
tried for a trivial offense and COM
mitted to Jail at Longview. While
officer Bradshaw had them in charge
at the railway depot, waiting for a
train, an attempt was made to rescue
the prisoners. Bradshaw, fearing
trouble, had summoned two citizens
to aid him, and the attempt resulted
in a general firing, during which Of
ficer Bradshaw and three negroes
were killed. In response to tele-
gram, the sheriff and posse from
Longview repaired to the scene. The
negroes were armed and defied the
officers to fire. More serious results
may follow.

day in the railroad accident at Ban

Pork VS.. Stockings.

NEW YORK. May 2.-The editor
of the Handels- Zeitu,ag called at the
office of the Associated Press to-day
and left the following card: "Sar-
gents letter was translated from con-
sular reports to the State Department
by M. Meyer. Meyer states that the
translation was made with the ut
most care and absolutely as accurate
as could be. Meyer says he is in
formed that the hosiery manufacto-
rles in Germany are moving to Sc
cure the abolition of the prohibitory
legislation against pork. They are
alarmed lest action be taken
by the United States Con-
gress imposing duty on hosiery
which will exclude it from the Uni
ted States. This would be disaster
to the industry in Germany. Were
the measure passed by Congress
thousand operatives in Germany
would be without other means of
gaining a livelihood and would be
thrown out of work and millions of
capital would be washed off. OF the
81, 500, 900 worth of hosiery annually
imported in the United States 81 ,5OO,-
600 comes from Germany.

THE YELVERTON SCANDAL.
Tho Death OF a ViscOunt Re-
wives an Episode in
High Life.

The death of William Charles Yel-
verton, Viscount Avonnlore, is an
nounced from London. AS Major
YelvertOn he became notorious in
proceedings brought in Dublin by
Miss Teresa Lcngworth, who claimed
to he his vile. The case was decid-
ed in favor of Lord Avonmore after
scandalous trial. 1t has been about
fifteen years since the cause celebre
which so agitated the fashionable
world of Europe was decided in the
Common Pleas of Dublin. Major
William Charles Yelverton, after
ward Viscount Az onmOre, of the
Royal Artillery, was distinguished
Crimean soldl +, wearer of the Vie
toria Cross, IAN officer and gentle
man" and defendant in tie case of
''ThelwalI VS.. Yelverton." On the
record the plaintiff was Yorkshire
trader and the plant that Major Yel-
verton refused to pay for necessaries
supplied to his wife to the extent of
elS7. The answer was a simple de-
nial of the alleged relationship be-
tween himself and Miss LOngworth.
They had met in the Crinea, where
Miss Longworth had acted as vol
unteer nurse. The personal charms
and accomplishments Of the lady
conquered the Crimean hero, as he
confessed he on two occasions went
through a form of marriage-once in
Scotland, per verba de present., and
once in the village of Bosstrevor, i'll
Ireland. By subterfuge he
satisfied the clergyman, tor it is
still a felony in Ireland for a Catho-
lie priest to bless the marriage of
Protestant and a Bapist. They trav-
eled together as man and wife, but
after q time events took their old
course; the Major deserted Miss
Longworth and married Mrs. Forbes,
the widow of the distinguished Prof.
Edward Forbes. Thelwall VS.. yell
verton was tried to decide whether n
fact Teresa Longworth was wife or
mistress. The jury found for the
plaintiff that there was Scotch mar
riage and that fhere was an Irish
marriage. Major Yelverton escaped
through a side door, and his wife
was drawn in carriage by relays of
Irishmen, after the manner in which
Dublin does honor to its favorites.
That was the hour of triumph of Te-
resa .Yelverton (nee Longworth).
her life was a series
of lawsuits. In Scotland and in the
House of Lords her title to the name
of wife was contested step by step,
and fought as bravely by her. But
though her touching letters brought
tesrs Of admiration to the eyes
of chancellors and ex-chancellors,
her motion as 'pursuer" was denied.
Mrs. Yelverton gained some position
as public reader and eloculionist,
and made u living in that way aU
home and abroad. She also pub
lished novel, of which she was her
own heroine. Its title was MARTYR
to circumstances" but its success
was only temporary. OF late years
Mrs. Yelverton lived entirely in
South Africa, where her fortunes
were of a somewhat uncertain char
acter. She died at Pietermaritzburg
in October, 1881.

$1,000, 900, while the expenditures
for last month exceeded those for
April. '82, by over $5,O0O,0OO. The

the first time for many months of ex-
penditures over receipts, the excess
of expenditures being about $780,
600. Available cash balance is in
round numbers $135, ,OOO, 600 against
$14O. .OOO, 900 April 1st. The decrease

the debt on which interest has ceased
shows an increase of nearly $780,
600. The amount of 3As outstanding

bilities and assets shows important
changes. In gold and silver bullion
there is decrease since April of

ing gold certificates Of about $500, 900.
The amount of these certificates now
outstanding IS $48, 1896. 200. The gold

standing certificates Of about $48,-
OOO, 900. The standare silver dollars |
on hand now number $1O6, ,366, ,34S, |
