CONVICTED OF LIBEL.
Judge Zane SavsgeiY Attacked by a
Mormon Editor.
SALT LAKE CRY, Dec. 10.

SALT LAKK CirY, Dec. 10.
Charles w. Hemenwsy, editor of the Ogden
Herald, was convicted last night of hbeling
Chief Justice Zane. The trial was had in the
fret district. Justice Powers psesiding Judge
Zane did not know of the libel until after the
proceedings had been begun. The article
charged Judge Zane with being responsible IN
his ruling for the 'murder" of McMurrin BY
Deputy Marshal Collins. and of shielding
officials and others guilty of lewdness. 1t
stated that the action of Judge Zane made
it reasonably evident to the anti Mormon
Williams in Utah that federal justice would
permit no atrocity committed by an ant-Mor-
mon against Mormon to be speedily and
condignly punished according to Justice"
Then followed a threat that IL this thing
continued the Mormons would defend their
persons, families aud property with the neces-
sary force. The article declared that there
WAS limit to the endurance even of Nor
mons, and bade the "anti- Mormon assassins,
aspersers, Judicial malefactors and robbers
beware. II is said that Judge Zane "ren-
dered a crooked decision in the Wander Cook
case, and that dozens and dozens of Mormons
had been slaughtered in cold blood, but in
every single instance the murderers escaped
punishment at the hands Of justice, which
thus practically licensed murder"
Hemenway will be sentenced Jan. 4. 1886.

The Young Mans Accounts e7OO Short
Steps Taken for His Arrest,

PORTLAND, Dec. 20.
Fred I. Gledhill, young man employed
oy NJ NJ Rich at the Merchants Exchange
reading room, eloped week ago Friday with
respectable young lady, leaving on the
midnight train. They were married the next
day in Boston. 1t was supposed at the time
that his accounts were all right, and the
elopement caused but little interest. For
some time he had kept the books of the Citi-
zens' Mutual Relief Association, of which
Mr. Rich is secretary. Since Gledhill left
the books have been examined, and it has
been discovered that the accounts are about
800 short, Gledhill has led fast life for
some time. He has been an habitual poker
player and has gambled for large sums 1t was
reported that he had gone to Chicago, but its
since been suspected that he is in New York
Marshal Andrews has taken measures for his
arrest. The girl with whom Gledhill eloped
was Miss Gertie Perry, a daughter of the
proprietor Of the Perry House She first
made his acquaintance at skating rink She
was doubtless ignorant OF his crimes. He
also owes quite large amount OF bills about
town, for clothing, hats, and about $75 for
diamonds.

NEW YORK, Dec. 10.
The shutting down of the Singer sewing

women out of work, and they will probably

pose to allow the city to sell out the works

HONE RULE.
Mr.. Gladstone's Statement-Wha he has
to Say Will be said Publicly.

LONDON, Dec. 10.
Ihe STANDARD expresses the desire that the
conservatives will prepare their scheme 70,
local government in Ireland and thus allow
fariiament to pronounce early upon the
Issues between Mr.. Gladstone and The Mar.
quis Of Salisbury.
Mr.. Mccartney, Conservative, who was
member for Tyrone in the last Parliament,
declares that the adoption of any form O,
home rule would be in direct violation Of the
constitution, under the provisions of which
thousands Of Englishmen and Scotchmen
have invested money in Ireland. To gran,
Ireland home rule, he says, would be to be-
tray the minority in Ireland. and the English
people would be held responsible for the con.
sequences.
The following dispatch from Mr.. Gladstone
has been received BY the Cable News com.
pany:
HAwARpEN, Dec. 10.
If should at any time have anv plan OF
intention to announce on the question OF
Irish government, it will be done publicly
and on my own responsibility not by an
anonymous and irresponsible declaration. My
political friends are assured that remembsr
my obligations to them, and they may safely
understand that l am bound to none of the
ideas respecting home rule for Ireland re.
Gently announced in my name. After SAVING
this much, hold myself excused from reply.
ing to further inquiries, rumors or allegation.
regarding the Irish question
WM. 4. GLADSTONE
In response TO request for his opinion OF
the home rule proposals, the Earl of Derby,
who was n member of Mr.. Gladstone's cabi.
net, writes that the original plan for the es.
tabiishment of home rule in Ireland has been
materially modified bysubsequent statements,
and that it is, therefore, impossible for him
to express an opinion on the subject.
Rt. Hon. William L. Forster, formerly
secretary for Ireland, writes "We may now
be allowed to see the scheme, but until it is
made public cannot give an opinion on an
unauthorized statement of Mr.. Glsdstone's
views, which Mr. Gladstone himself has de.
MED since its publication. l, myself, am too
ill TO enter into a discussion of the Irish
question.
Rt. Hon. James Lowther, who was succeed
ed by Mr.. Forster for secretary tor Ireland
says: 81 think it better to defer expressing
an opinion on the astounding scheme attrib
uted to Mr.. Gladstone until definite ant
authentic evidence has been produced relativ,
to its authorship"
MIR. john Redmond, in an interview, sale
that, supposing the description of it to b,
accurate, the scheme was fairly satisfactory
and afforded a basis of settlement by mutua
concessions. He could not say more befor,
consulting the leaders of his party.

King, so the correspondent telegraphs, ad-
mtted that his military work since the be-
ginning of the present war had been replete
with great blunders. He marched his troops
into the hostile country with force that was
inadequate to the demand upon them. The
King had expected to deal only with Bulgar-
ians, and not to have an encounter with the
troops Of Bulgaria and Roumelia combined.
King Milan made no secret of the fact that
his troops were deficient in the drill and fir
ing tactics so essential to an effective army

A SOUTHEAST GALE.
Terrible Weather OFF the Coast of Nova
Scotia.

HALIFAX, N. S., Dec. 10.
A terrible southeast gale, accompanied by
rain and sleet, is raging tonight over the
whole western section of Nova Scotia and in
the Bay of Fundy. The steamer Secret,
plying between Digby and st. John, did not
leave the latter place this afternoon on ac-
count of the severity of the storm. The
Allan line steamer Partisan is due here to-
night from Liverpool, having passed Cape
Race at $50 O'Clock yesterday afternoon but
she will most likely give the coast a wide
berth until morning, as the gale is blowing
with great fury directly onto land. The
Siberian, of the same line, was also due this
evening from Baltimore, and these two, with
the Baumwall for Antwerp and PARMA for
Liverpool, which sailed hence today, are
probably experiencing the tempest tonight.

who acted as auditor for said company during

cious. He says that he has good reasons for
thinking the present move emanates. from
some electrical interests in New York, with
view of injuring Goff in his present business
enterprises there, and not with any desire to
have him prosecuted for alleged offences
committed in Canada s or years ago.
