the Exposition, extensive preparations
having been made for the reception of
the famous Liberty bell from Philadel-
phia. Among those invited to take
part in the proceedings was Jefferson

gether to this city, where the streets
were lined with people for miles. The
car bearing the bell, having been re.

A dispatch from Cork, Ireland, of
January 9th, says: ParneIl arrived at
Milton yesterday and turned the first
sod of the West Clare Railway, about
to be constructed, in the presence of
an immense assemblage of people, not
less than 10000 people. Parnell was
presented with miniature golden spade
in honor of the occasion. In accepting
the emblem Parnell made q brief ad.
dress. He made no allusion to the
dynamite outrages in London, but con-
fined himself to questions affecting
farmers and peasants in the south and
west OF ireland. He said that the
present juncture was another turning
point in Irish history. The people
should unite in'vowing fealty to the
cause of Ireland. He regretted that
the Land Act was not so framed as to
insure q permanent settlement of the
land question. It rested with the peo-
pie themselves to set an example by
which they might recover every rod of
land that had been stolen from them.
The railway extends from Milton to
Ennis.
The Paris Goulois makes sensa tiona
statements about the London explo-
sions. 1t declares positively that the
authors of the explosion are the same
men who made the dynamite attack on
London bridge and the Cover street
railway station. The chief organizers
of this plot, the Goulois asserts,
have been for long time past, and are
now, employed in the English printing
office in Paris, and until recent date
lodged in the st. Dennis quarters of
Paris, where they manufactured the in
fernal machines used in the diabolical
work. When everything was in readi-
ness for the preparation of the con-
templated atrocities, continues the
Gonlois, picked men, who were to lodge
and set the machines, departed sepa-
rately and by different routes for Lon
don, each carrying one or more OF the
machines. This was six weeks ago.
The Goulois says that not one of these
consPirators speaks French, and no
hChOSh VI tbC CDbiIC Odnu mas even
attended Anarchist meetings in Paris.
