TRAGEDY IN NEW YORK.


Prominent Lawyer Shot by a Crank.
NEW York, June 2I.-John Drake we'll
known lawyer, who was shot in his Office
Thursday afternoon, lies at home SO seriously
wounded that the graveSt apprehensions are
entertained of his recovery The man who
shot him is still free, but there is little doubt
but he will be arrested soon The
would-be murderer is not I. j. Oakley
Rhinelander, but his brother William c.
Oakley, who has been III Europe for the past
year with his father, mother and sisters.
Drake is counsel for the Rhineiander estate.
W. c. Rhinelander is an unfortunate MEM
Der of an old family, the history of which is
identified with that If the growth of New
York from village settlement to a
metropolitan city. His grandfather left
the estate which his father, William
Rhinelander, administers Young William
c., it is said, however, is not one of the heirs,
having been cut off by will He is described
as crank who was allowed to go at large on
account of family connections, but was at no
time moro than half responsible for
his actions, and should have been
put under restraint long ago. He is so years
of age, and was frequent visitor at the
Office Of Mr. Drake, who tolerated his pres
ence, but the other tenants of the building,
who saw young Rhinelander often, were i'm
pressed with the idea that he was not safe
man to have about. The office boy in the
adjoining room says he heard no noise up
to the moment when the pistol
shot was fired, when Mr.. Douglas
another occupant Of the office, rushed into
brakes private Office, and the latter was
struggling with Rhinelander to prevent him
shooting again. Douglass grabbed Rhine
landers arm; the latter struggled like a mad
man, shouting inarticulate oaths between his
teeth. Douglass bore down the man by
main strength to the floor, holding him there.
Young Rhinelander was kept in custody by
Douglass and other tenants until after Drake
reiterated his absolute determination not to
make criminal charge against him on ac-
count of his relations to the family. He was

Head-Centcr Stephens Calls for a
Convention of Hrishmen-He OPP
poses ynamite-AnOther Al
legged PlOt-EOreigR Notes.

LONDON, June 21-The Times dispatch
from Paris says that James Stephens, the
ex-Fenian head-center, has just sent another
circular to his friends in Chicago, urging
that meeting be held at an early day to
take measures against the practice of using
dynamite as a means to secure Justice for
ireland. Mr.. Stephens cites the most recent ex-
piosion in London as illustrating the necessity
for some action of true Irishmen to clear
themselves Of the imputation of silently ap-
proving such outrages He proceeds to con-
denim the present methods of agitating the
question of Irish freedom, and advocates a
military organization formed upon the plan
of the old Fenian society as established by
Mahoney. The circular will be reprinted at
Chicago, and extensively circulated thu ough-
out the United States.
Stephens declares that the services of
several distinguished European officers have
| already been placed at his disposal and he is
sanguine that he can secure Others No
definite plan of action viii be proposed until
| the convent on of Irish patriots, which it is
proposed to hold soon at Paris. To this con-
vention the Chicago conference Will be in
vited to elect delegates. After the conven-
ton an address will be issued to Irishmen at
home and abroad expounding the aims of the
| new movement.
Among the plans of operations mooted is G
scheme to dispatch balloons manned with
desperados over England to drop explosive:
upon the towns and cities below Capt. Nc
Cafferty has been commissioned to examine
the plans of the apparatus. Several Fenian
in Paris have volunteered for the aerial ex
| peditions

BLAINE AND THE IRISH.

A reporter interviewed ex-senator Nc
Donald, of Indiana, the other day, and in
reply to question whether Mr.. Blaine
would be strong with the Irish citizens,
Mr.. Mcdonald said:
mot when his political history is fully
written and thoroughly understood. The
cry you hear now is the first hurrah, but
voters, especially Irish voters, will begin
to study his record soon and then they
will see how baseless are the claims on
which he appeals to their suffrages You
must remember that he was secretary of
state for over year, and was the man
who appointed James Russell Lowell
minister to England. While he was
secretary and Lowell minister was
the time when the most fragrant
cases of American citizens being
arrested in Ireland as suspects was oc-
curing, and yet he never did thing to
help them or enable them to secure their
rights. I remember one case IN particu-
lar. An American citizen named Nc
Sweeney resident of San Francisco, was
in Ireland for his health. He took with
him his family, with the exception of two

THERE are many readers of the present
who do not remember how it cane to pass
that Hon. John A. Logan, now Republi-
can candidate for vice president, icame to
known as Dirty Work Logan" The
cognomen was given to him by the
Republican themselves In 1860 he said ::
Every fugitive that has been arrested
in Illinois, or in any of the Western
states-and call Illinois Western state,
for l am ashamed longer to
call it northern state - has
been made by Democrats. In Illinois
the Democrats have all that work to do
You call it the dirty work of the Demo-
cratic party to catch fugitive slaves for
the Southern people. We are willing
to perform that dirty work. l no not
consider it disgraceful to preform any
work, dirty or not dirty, which is in ac
cordance with laws of the land and the
constitution of the country, and calculated
to assist men in recovering that which is
their right, guaranteed to them under the
constitution and the laws of the land. -
Henceforward the Illinois rampant
proslavery champion was known and
stigmatized by Republicans as Dirty
Work Logan"

WILL the Rock Island ARGUS inform
us how it happened that the name of NJ.
W. Parker did not appear on the call for
a senatorial convention. signed by James
R. Johnston and Samuel H. McNay? Mr..
Parker was appointed on that committee
by the same body which appointed the
others. The absence of his name affords
grounds for suspecting that he would not
permit his name to be used in so disre>

The very good reason that Mr.. Parker's
name did not appear on the call is, that
gentleman is somewhere other than Rock
Island, and his present location is clouded
in uncertainty. If Mr.. Parker were here
he would probably be engaged in the same
'disrespectable cause" as are Messrs
Johnston and McNay, the other member:
of the committee. We hope this explana
ton will satisfy the Independent man, as
it is as nearly right as we can give it.

the full text of the Utah bill, which has

enough is at hand to create considerable COM

hailed with joy; but the trustee clause is
hooted. Marriages have never been filed any

are secret, they would be just the same under

fund accomplishes nothing, as whatever that
fund may now possess can be easily trans
