ST. JOHN, N. F., Dec. 2S.-The execu-
tive embargo on the telegraph wires has
been raised, and the following particulars

received: "a reliable agent at Harbor

Cured during Monday, but by the efforts
of the police the mob was quietly dis
persed. Tuesday passed peacefully. On
Wednesday the Orangemen met at
British Hall, arranged their pro-
gramme and put on their uni
forms and customary symbols and
marched from the hall to the Wesleyan
Church. After service they proceeded to
Bears cove, thence up Harvey street. and
when about to return home through Cater
street, were attacked by a mob with guns,
hatchets and pickets. When confronted
by the mob the Orange procession halted.
whereupon seven scaling guns, loaded
with heavy shot, were discharged into their
ranks. Four men named Jeans. Darmo-
dy, Callahan and French, fell and expired
instantly. Eighteen were wounded, five
it is supposed mortally. Their names are
Thomas Nicholas, Solomon Martin, VIM,
Brown, William Anthony and Moses
Nicholas. Darmody and Callahan, two
Roman Catholics were accidentally killed
by their own party. The Orangemen fled
and showed no fight. The city is now
apparently tranquilized, but serious dis
turbances are apprehended at the Obse-
quies of the dead Orangemen tomorrow.
The police force at Harbor Grace is being
reinforced from all parts of the country.
Thousands OF men are armed and arming
all around Conception Bay"

The Concordat in british India,

CALCUTTA, Dec. 2S.-A majority of the
natives in British India disapprove the
cOncOrdat of the Indian Government and
the Anglo-Indian Association whereby no
native except District Judge shall exer-
else criminal jurisdiction over Euro
pean and British subjects who
shall be entitled to be tried
by majority Of European jurors.
The kConcordat also confers the right in
non-jury districts, even in cases triable
by the European District Magistrate,
thereby securing the principle that the
rights of Europeans shall be safely
guarded by verdict of men OF their own
race. The opposition of the natives to
the COncOrdat is based on the ground
that it will cause constant failure of JUS
tice, create rights which British subjects
never possessed nor claimed, and that
similar rights are not to be given to the
natives,

OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES
THE MOTHERS LOVE FOR HER
CHILDREN COSTS HER LIFE.

She Dies Without Speaking, Pierre ed by
Five Bullets-Chances that the Colonel
May Recoverable was in the Box When
Booth Killed Lincoln.
LONDON, Dec. .2s.-Information has lust
been received here from Hanover confirm-
ing the report that Col. Henry Rathbone,
of Albany, n. Y, who with his wife and
children were sojourning in that city, has
killed his wife and attempted to kill him
self. The tragedy took place Monday
morning. Col. Rathbone, who was labor
ing under fit of melancholia, entered the
bed-chamber of his wife and shot her
dead, the ball entering her heart. He
then stabbed himself. He is still living,
but no hopes are entertained that he will
survive his wounds.
LONDON, Dec. 30, l A. M.-Col. Rath-
bone is the man who was in the box with
President Lincoln when he was killed by
Booth. Rathbone endeavored to stop
Booth, and received wounds from Booths
dagger. Col. Rathbone has shown signs
of melancholia for the past two months.
On the night of the tragedy he went TO the
room where his three children and their
nurse were sleeping, and asked to see
his children. His wife appeared
afterward, and ordering
the maid to lock the door led her husband
back to their bedroom. Directly after
wards shots were heard, followed by cries
for help. Mrs. Rathbone's sister and a
servant rushed to the bedroom door, and,
finding it locked, broke it in. They found
Mrs. Rathbone lying on the bed welter-
ing in blood. Col. Rathbone lay on the
floor bleeding from five different
wounds. A six shooter with
three empty chambers and
dagger covered with blood were found
near by. Doctors were summoned imme-
diately, but Mrs. Rathboue died without
being able to give any account of the
deed. Col. Rathbone was able to reach
the bed, and Immediately became insensi-
ble. When he afterward became conscious
he appeared not TO connect himself with
the crime. He seemed to believe that
stranger had committed it. Neighbors
say that Col. Rathbone lived on affection
ate terms with his family.
LONDON, Dec. 80, A. MA Berlin cor
says that Mrs. Rathbone was
buried Friday, the funeral being attended
by many American and English friends
of the family. The same correspondent
says that Col. Rathbone may recover.

A Reservoir DAMAGED.

PLYMOUTH, n. H., Dec. 2S.-The vii
lage reservoir, having an elevation of
nearly 200 feet, among the hills, about
two miles west of here, and built three
years ago, was washed out last night
by the heavy rain and melting
snow, causing an overflow of the
Grande embankment, and cutting a mar
row gap therein from the top to the bot
tom. The water spread through the woods
and fields below, and soaking into the
snow, it was prevented from doing much
immediate damage. The capacity of the
reservoir was several million gallons.
The village hydrant system is entirely
useless in case OF fire. The damage will
be repaired at once. There is no insur-
ance on the reservoir.

The SOcialistic WorIxmen Conclude
Their Session at Baltimore.
BALTIMORE, Dec. 2S.-The congress of
the socialist labor organization closed it's
session in this city this evening. There
was considerable discussion in the fore
noon, and the reports of the several COM
mittees were adopted as a whole. These
reports demand the abolition of the offices
of President and Vice President of the
United States and of the United States
Senate, and the substitution therefor Of a
federal council. There is but little differ
ence from the proceedings of the former
meetings of the body. They insist
on universal suffrage and the
wiping out of Congressional District
lines, the requirement of a submission
to vote of the people of any law which
may be demanded by a given number of
applicants, and general war on the cor
pOrations which control labor and it's
price. In the discussion to-day the ex-
treme views of Herr Most, the German
Socialist, were generally condemned, and
more conservative course, it was de-
clared, would be more effective in reach
ing the end sought.
