his first year OF office Gen. Collins did
splendid work. The contributions were large
and the organizations multiplied. At the
first convention held In Buffalo, in 1851,
the efforts OF the clan men TO capture the
organization were very feeble and without
result but they were determined to perse-
we're. At Washington the next year their
attempt was more successful. They elected
James Mooney, one OF their members,
President, and Mr.. ]. J. Hynes, another
member, Secretary. But they had not the
treasury under their control. Father Walsh
was known to be utterly opposed to the

KEYsER, W. Va, May 3.-The trial Of
William Seymour Douglass for the murder
o. David Hizer, the mail carrier, commit.
ted in Grant county in April, 1877, is the
one absorbing subject this week. The
trial commenced on Tuesday, April "a.
TILE EVIDENCE CONCLUDED. W.
This morning the evidence was all taken
on both sides, and the jury dismissed d,
while the counsel discussed the instruc.
ton. The evidence in the defense is
weak and palpably false. The pris.
oner was put upon the stand this
morning and damaged his own case more
than all the half hundred witnesses pre-
sented for the State. He admitted on the
stand that the check he professed to have
was a forged one, and on that account be
destroyed it, when he found he was liable
to arrest for the murder. The testimony
for the prosecution is conclusive, and one
can read the opinion OF the jurors in their
countenances.
NE MAY BE HANGED.
The Court ruled that a criminal up for
second trial could receive the full sentences
Of the law to which his crime made him
liable, no matter what his sentence had
been at the tist trial. The defence main.
tanned that his sentence could not be
heavier than at the former trial.
The court room Is crowded daily, ladies
predominating. The prisoner begins TO look
warm and anxious. Nothing escapes his
keen watchfulness. His face ia bad, and
the expression Of his eye deviish. He
says he prefers hanging to the life sentence
again. That he deserves the halter is the
prevailing opinion.
THE ARGUMENT.
Mr.. Dyer, Of Petersburg, made the open
ing argument before the jury In behalf Of
the State. He was followed by MIR. Pugh,
OF Romney, for the defense. Tomorrow
morning F. NJ. Reynolds, prosecuting at
torney for Grant county, will follow for
the State. Mr.. Flourno, Of Rom.
ney, following him for the defense.
The closing argument will be by
Colonel Robert White for the defense, and
the eloquent Prosecuting Attorney Of Min
eral county, Hon. @. W. Daily, will close
for the State. Mr.. Dyer made neat,
pointed and convincing argument. The,
trial has been ably conducted all through.
The counsel for the defense was composed
oi,fne legal talent, but their case was weak.
1t Ia expected the trial will close this week.

A scHExE TO GET CONTROL.

A new scheme was then agreed on. 1t
was that the clan men should try TO con.

CHICAGO, May 3.-The Tribune says
The history OF the Philadelphia Irish Con.
vention is yet to be written. The materials
for it have not all been gathered, however,
and the most that can be done now is to
present the events connected with and
leading to that gathering, and its most
lame and unfortunate conclusion, to pub-
lie who have taken some interest in the
matter for various and conflicting reasons
The convention was called, there Is every
reason to believe, ~ for the purpose Of
ending the Land League or open and con.
seryative Irish organization in this country;
(2) for the purpose oi giving the Clan.na.
Gael, the chief Irish.American secret soci.
ETY., control over Irish affairs at this side OF
the water; and (3) for the purpose OF politi-
caly and otherwise becoming the wire
pullers OF the Irish secret societies OF every
class.
Ever since the organization Of the Land
Leage the Clan.na Gael men have regarded
it with ill.concealed suspicion-indeed
aversion. 1t came in conflict with the op.
erations OF their own organization. Men

PROMISE OF SUCCESS.

The Secretary remarked that all his re.
ports from the mines indicated that the
men would determinedly hold out for the
81 cent rate. He said: "The resistance to
the three.cent rate in the Pittsburgh dis.
trict gives every promise OF success. There
were indications OF break among the
operators weeks previous to May 1st, and
quite recently some OF the Panhandle
operators have told sheir men they were

was no good reason for the demand OF a
reduction. There are operators who, when
they finally give In to 81, will endeayor to
make up the difference by an addition to
the percentage OF the already exorhitant
profits Of the truck store. II successful,
their employees, as usual, will not see dol.

however, will be attended TO later; at pres:
