A WOMAN'S WRATH

Causes Surprise and Dismay at a Meeting
of an Irish Emergency Club-Bitter De.
nunciation of Two Prominent Agitators
by the Irate Female-She Proposes to
Ayenge the Deaths of Brady and O'Don
nell.
NEW YORK, April a.
The Joe Brady Emergency Club was
surprised last evening by two ladies
attending the meeting. Their surprise be-
came dismay when one of them, Mrs.
Bowles, took the floor and began to de-
nounce Patrick Ford and James Redpath.
She said that Redpath had addressed a
meeting of the Ladies' Land League, and
had condemned every one who was not a
Parnellite. She had sent him an invita-
ton to utter his sentiments before the
Emergency Club, which he was afraid to
accept. "Mr. Redpath," she said, "has not
only insulted me, but the entire Irish race.
Redpath must be considered henceforth
as coward. He has been adopted as
brother by the Ladies' League, but God
save us from such relative. / want TO
have the emergency fund transferred from
the Irish World to some other paper.
Since Patrick Ford had the audacity to
hold back the defense for O'Donnell until
the man was hanged, he has no right to
be intrusted with any more funds. On
whose authority did he dare to keep back
those funds while there was chance for
O'Donnell? / believe that money TO be
the price of blood, and any one who
touches penny of it will be cursed for
all the days of his life"
Mrs. Bowles thoroughly ventilated her
opinions. She did not deny but that the
Land League was well in it's way, but the
grand movement was the dynamite sys-
tenn. She said there would come day OF
atonement for Queen Victoria, and that IL
she (Mrs. Bowles) ever had 1t in her pow
er,
SHE woUD AvENGE
the death of Brady and O'Donnell. Mr..
Arthur Forester, son of the Irish poet
ess, Ellen FORESTER, and at present con-
nected with the Irish World, made cut
ting reply to Mrs. Bowles. He said her
remarks should not be needed. They
were wild, romantic and absurd.
Such sentimental notions should
not govern the meeting. He also
said that the only method of
advancing the Irish cause was by dragging
England down to the weakness of Ireland.
She must be weakened in every point
where she is strong. "We must make
the meteor flag of England something
equivalent to the yellow flag that bears
the yellow flag in its wake"
MIR. It. Shellan related to the meeting
the details of an Imprisonment to which
he was subjected on visit to Ireland
which lasted for two years, on no grounds
whatever. Addresses were made by Jer-
emiah McKenna, Of Paterson, Thos.
Daugherty and Richard Murphy. The
Chairman was Patrick Keating, an officer
of the Clan pa Gael.

and killed Base Miller, negro employe
Of the Brookman House, in that place,
Friday night. 1t appears that the negro
man was employed by Brookman as a
drummer for his hotel, and James Rice
was similarly employed by the Spring
City Hotel. When the train came in from
Cincinnati, about 1920 O'Clock, COM
mercial tourist got off and the two hotel
runners at once made for him. They
lost their tempers in the scramble for
the unfortunate traveller, and the
negro said many hard things to
Rice and threatened to kill him.
When collision seemed imminent Rice
drew a knife and started for him, but the
negro retreated and told Rice he would
see him later 1t is said that friends OF
Rice advised him If he valued his life to
kill the negro, and acting upon this ad-

went to the Brookman House and shot the
negro twice through the heart. The man
fell to the ground, and Rice cody walked
off and resumed his duties at the hotel.

the Sate-The Missing Cash Amounts to
$40, ACKNOWLEDGEMENT Victims.
EFFISGHAM, ILL, April %.
When Frank Ewers, Cashier of the bank
of I. A. Van Gossy, walked into the
banking institution yesterday morning,
he examined things and was paralyzed
with astonishment when he found the
safe wide open and empty. The books
were missing and nothing remained
but the safe, the counters and the
inkstands. The Cashier Immediately
sent for the President of the bank,
and then it was learned that the
President, too, was gone for parts
unknown. The Cashier closed the
bank, but he might as well
have left it open, and the news
spread throughout the city
like wiidfire. A throng of citizens who
had money in the establishment soon gath
cred before the door and gave vent to
their feelings in tones more expressive
than elegant. Wild threats were made to
be carried out should the missing Presi-
den be discovered, and quite an amount
of indignation was expressed against the
Cashier, who by some was suspected Of
completely in the scheme. There was
nothing to be done, and when the expla-
nation of affairs was made the mulcted
citizens retired to their homes to nurse
their regrets and indignation.
Van Gossy, the President of the bank,
had bad reputation among the best peo-
pie in town, and how it was that, not
withstanding this, he took the inhabitants
In can not be explained. The man was in
the habit OF going every Sunday either to
st. Louis or Chicago and there spending
his time, according to common rumor, in
the most unseemly manner. He had no
property outside of the bank, and when he
came here he had only few thousand
dollars, upon which capital he started the
bank
The last seen of Van Gossy after leav.
ing the bank was when he boarded
north-bound Illinois Central train Satur-
day night with grip-sack in his hand.
The supposition is that the President of
the bank has gone to Canada. A descrip-
tion of the missing Bank President has
been sent over the country, and hopes
are entertained that he will be cap
tured.
Owing to the fact that the books are
missing, it is difficult to estimate the
amount of money taken away, and the
only reliable information about it is to be
gained from the cashier, who said In re-
sponse to questions that there was some
thing over $4,000 in the bank Saturday
night when he left for home. The
- 49, ,-ar, of
the President and the amounts are:
Joseph Partridge. e.........................$ 1856
Henry Tookey. .........................-... $500
John Hoeny .....,..3 5000
b. H. Womsing ...................2 $500
j.. II. Ensign. eu
There are numerous other citizens who
had money in the bank ranging from
thousands to hundreds of dollars, and
they are losers of eyery cent.
