The Memphis appeal. [volume] (Memphis, Tenn.) 1886-1890, 1886-06-19
ESTABLISHED 1910.

Ma. GLADSTONE made the opening
speech of his Midlothian campaign
last night at Edinburgh before an ex.
ceptionsllY representative audience.
1t is not clAiming too much to say
that it is one of the ablest Of his
life, most extraordinary evil
dence Of the commanding abilities
that make him first among living
English speaking men. 1t is clear
and comprehensive statement OF his
DO ition and a thoroughly analytical
criticism of the positions OF his three
antagonists, Salisbury, Harrington
and Chamberlain. The Issue, he says,
is one OF selt-government or coer'
cion for Ireland. The policy OF the
Tories is one of special repTessive
criminal legislation for Irelsnd to the
exclusion OF Great Britain. To this
he is opposed, because centuries OF
trial and test have proven 1t a mlser.
able failure. Salisbury has denied
this policy of coercion, but he
proves it upon him from his own
words and acts, and from the speech
prepared by the Marquis for the
Queen and delivered by her at the
opening of Parliament. He YVES
equally quick to answer Harrington
end Chamberlain, who, although they
have proposed many schemes, have
not determined on one that
is feasible or that would
at all meet the demands
OF the Irish people for justice. They
are all Of them as chimerical as Mat
thew Arnold's suggestion of parlia-
ment for each of the provinces. "Ire'
land" Mr.. Gladstone exclaimed, "has
not attained the primary purpose of
civilized life, whereas, Scotland
and England are well and happily
governed" What confession is
this for the Prime Minister Of England
to make, and yet such a confession
might have been made at any time
within the century. All the rest OF
the world but England knew it, and it
it was this knowledge that brought
about that unanimity Of worldwide
condemnation to which Mr.. Gladstone
alluded in his last speech
in the House OF Commons, and
which, he said, had been repeated
in one form or another by
the leading organs of public opin'
ion in America and the British Col
onies, as we'll as in Europe. Self
government or coercion, he rays, is
the issue between him and his oppo.
nents, and he asks the British
people to keep this steadily be-
fore them, and not be distracted by
appeals for the consideration Of the
details Of the bill. That is dead a1d
is not to be resurrected. A new
measure is to be presented, and that
he pledges himself shall be as
plain, explicit and direct as
words can make the one purpose
he has now in view, and the only
one OF securing to the Irish people
''the primary purpose of zet
life," self government, Local parlis-
ment that will make for the peace and
prosperity of Ireland and strengthen
the empire. Reading this speech,
so masterful for its strength
OF statement, its force Of logic and its
powers Of argument it is impossible to
see how it can even in degree be an
swered by either OF his opponents.
Buttressed about as he is by Justice,
fortified by truth and upheld by the
plaudits OF the civilized world, Mr..
Gladstone is uuanswerable and must
achieve the victory for which anxious
millions are waiting as for tt e greatest
blessing in life.

the Order.
The objects Of the Order are to unite
fraternally all men between the ages of 81
and So who are physically sound and
socially acceptable; to give all moral and
material aid in its power to its members
and those dependent upon theIa and to
establish Widows and Orphans Benefit
Fund, from which shall be paid to the fam
lily of deceased member in good standing,
or as he may direct, the sum of s., 600. The
death benefit assessments are graded ac-
cording to age at the time of initiation-$1
being the lowest, at the age of 81 years, and
81 the highest, at 81 years of age. The
expenses of admission into q Council are
small, $3.50 covering all the expenses, after
which there are no expenses other than the
annual dues, payable quarterly in advance,
and the assessment for the Widows and
Orphans Benefit Fund. These are levied
only when there is not sufficient money
in the hands of the Supreme Treas
urer to pay death benefit; then
the entire order is assessed, and as
there are between $4,000 aud 63 900 en-
rolled members one assessment calls into
the Supreme Treasury over Sill, 900,
enough to pay 81 death benefits at So, 900
each. In 1885, 81, 250, 900 was paid out for
death benefits. The average age of the
members in this State is 35, and the aver
age assessment PAID is ST 60 upon each
call for death benefit of So, 900, or less than
81 per 81, 900. Add to this the quarterly

Railroad Employee Who is Being Ankle
Ously Sought for Embezzlement.
Mrs. Harrington, who keeps private
boarding house on Sixth street, between
Grove and Erie, has been overrun during
the past week with detectives from Inspec-
tor Byrness staff in New York and others
from the Pinkerton agency, who are in
search of Charles G. BolkIs, lately en-
ployee of the Pennsylvania Railroad Com
pany, at Pier 5, New York. He has dis
appeared and is supposed to have taken a
large sum of money with him. About the
first of last April he went to board with
Mrs Harrington. He had just left his late
boarding house at No. 500 Jersey avenue,
which is kept by Mrs. Donnelly. When
he left ker he owed her about $50 back
board. B0ekus is an only son. His par
ents reside in Lafayette and are considered
to be of the best. He has not been allowed
to hold any intercourse with his family
whatevei for the last fifteen years, because
of his fondness for rum. He quit drinking
about year ago to all appearance, and
late in January he procured the situation
with the railroad company. His salary was
to be 500 per month. He had scarcely
got warm in his place when he stole the
money. He newer bought ely clothing.
During his stay with Mrs. Harrington her
youngest son missed numerous articles of
clothing. After the sudden departure of
the boarder the things were found in his
room. He borrowed ring from Mr..
Bogue, one of the boarders, and when re-
quested to return il refused. No one SO
far has any idea of his whereabouts. It is
supposed that he took with him about
$1,000. Others think that he only had a
small sum in his pocket and went on one
of his prolonged sprees. Six months ago
he engaged himself in marriage to young
lady in the service of Mrs. Flanagan, the
milliner. The lady is heartbroken over lis
wickedness.

from sixteen to twenty-one, gathered at the

They were Maj. Hugh Abernethy'sU Umbrella

carry their muskets with them, because
they weren't expected to carry muskets,
Ihey were expected however, to carry

yesterday afternoon Major Abernethy
entered the Palma Clubhouse, where he
found most of the young ladies awaiting
bis arrival. At quarter before four the
brigade, headed by the gallant Major,
marched into the ballroom for the drill.
Front! 3" exclaimed the Major, and the
twenty-one pretty schoolgirls formed a
solid line facing him. Then the orders
" right face "left face (" and
"about face !" were given, and each
was as promptly obeyed as though it
nao been company of regulars.
Then as the Major told them in turn
70 march IN fours, pairs or single file,
the pretty damsels marched with the pre-.
clslon OF national guardsmen. Only once
did the girls get badly confused and that
was when the Major gave the order ssright
facet five of them turned to the left.
The young ladies were supposed to have
umbrellas, but they were minus them yes
terday, although they indicated the move
ments with their delicate hands. Once
Major Abernethy gave the order to charge
double quick, and the forty fists took the
"charge" position just as though each pair
held musket. One of the prettiest
maneuVres was the orders to rally by twos
and rally by tours, march and deploy. To
rally by fours is to get in circles Of tours
with faces outward, which the Major ex-
planned was the best way to charge in case
OF an attack on all sides. Strange as it
may seem, only three of the girls during
the half hours drill, were seen to giggle,
and then only once, At 4:15 the order to
break ranks was given and the twenty.one
soldiers in petticoats adjourned to one of
the reception rooms to have little chat
among themeelyes.
'You havesome good little soldier girls"
remarked the TATTLER reporter TO the
Major, after the drill was over.
s'Yes, indeed" was the reply. This is
only the seventh time they have ever
drilled, too. When I get through with
them, he added, ''they will beat any COM
pany IN the Fourth Regiment"

Special officer Joseph Francis, OF ths
Pennsylvania Railroad depot, received a
letter yesterday afternoon from District
Attorney Ridsway, of Kings County, thank
ing him for the aid he had rendered Kings
County detectives in bringing the murder
ers of Peter Hensen, the victim of the Fort
Hamilton tragedy, to justice. Hensen was
found just outside the Fort with his brains
blown out. 1t was at first thought he had
committed suicide, but it was subsequently
learned that Mrs. Mary E. Ramsey, who
had found out that Hensen was heir to an
estate valued at S75, 600, had inveigled him
to the Fort Hamilton Hotel, Which she
kept, had induced him to marry one Of her
daughters end then, after inducing him to
make will ia his wife's favor, had, with
the aid of George T. Nicodemus, an ex-
convict, killed him. The suspected couple
remained at Fort Hamilton till recently,
when they disappeared. Last Friday De-
tective StelZarthy called on Officer Francis
and said that Niceaemus and Mrs. Ramsey
| had telegraphed to Brooklyn for two
truHks. The detective did not lsarp this

Detective Francis was able to do without
much trouble. He learned that Nicode-
mus and Mrs. Ramsey had passed We'd
nesday night in this city, stopping at the
Exchange Place Hotel, where they regis
tered in the name of Wallace. On Thurs

At the invitation of Assemblyman
"Tery" Mcdonald, of the Seventh AS
sembly District, about one hundred of his
Hoboken constituents met him at Hilpert's
Germania Assembly Rooms, Hoboken, last
night and expressed their views upon sew
ersl bills now before the Legislature which
affect their city. Those bills were intro
duced by Assemblyman Besson of the
Ninth, who, Terry's constituents say, rep
resents the silk stocking wing of the He-
boken disciples of Jefferson,
Edward J. McDermott was chosen chair
man and VIM. G. Stanton secretary. Terry
informed them that he was their servant
and had called them together to receive
instructions. Councilman Maloney opened
the ball by speaking against paid
fire department. He declared that
there Lad been but one fire in
Hoboken since 1856 that was too much
for the volunteers, and that, with proper
apparatus, they could handle any FIRE Ho-
boken could scare up. A paid Department
would cost at least SIS, 600 a year, and
besides, the whole scheme was only polit-
ical trick to make new election machine.
1t was agreed that Terry should defeat the
bill. He told them, by way Of encourage
ment, that the bills would go pretty much
as he voted. Police Commissioner Coyle
then spoke in favor of the bill to increase
the police force, and said it would please
the people of the Seventh. He admin
istered a slap or two to the Mayor and
| the silk stockings" Terry was then in.
structed to pass the Police Bill. The
talk on proposed Free Bath resulted
in all hands deciding that their Assembly,
man should see that they were provided
with baths gratis. There was no provision
in the bill for soap, but the omission was
not noticed. New parEs were also consid-
cred among the desirable things that
Terry's vote should procure for them.
Terry ordered a fresh tap, and with the
contents of full key his constituents gave
their internol economy a free bath, and
adjourned.

Gen. steele Takes a Hand In, and Col.
Hart Admits Mistakes.
Colonel Hart, of the Ninth Regiment,
said to TATTLER last evening that Gen
eral Steele, after witnessing the slim brig
ade drill at the Hoboken Armory, Friday
evening, directed the Adjutant to make a
report of the members who did not turn
out for the inspection, and forward the
report to him, and that he would look into
it. He said, referring to the pending
ceurt-martial, that he and General Plume
are not friends that the President of the
court OF inquiry, Colonel Howard, is his
enemy, as are several others who served
there.
The colonel is convinced that all his
trouble with the regiment has come from
the fact that he is not liked by some of the
German element in the command. As to
the court martial he himself organized, he
said that the law requires that court mar
tial be appointed to serve for the year. He
said that he did not notice the fact that
Lieutenant Lanson was second lieutenant
until after he had issued the general order.
Then he issued special order detailing
First Lieutenant Gilfert to act in his place.
he said that there is no reason why Quar-
termaster Stevens should not act as Judge
Advocate. He remarked that the court
martial is detailed and that it will not be
changed.

Something About the More Ancient Branch
of the Order.

Something About the More Ancient Branch
of the Order.
Last Sunday morning week the TATTLER
told in general way of the more recently
established branch of the Ancient Order of
Hibernians. The older Order, from which
they were an offshoot, originated in Ireland
five or six centuries ago, SO that it has a
good claim to the title of Ancient Order
of Hibernians." 1t is powerful and useful
in the Old Country. The first branch was
instituted in this country about thirty years
ago, and since that time the Order has been
growing steadily, not only in point of
members, but also in wealth. Now it is
one of the most important as well as one of
the wealthiest benevolent organizations in
this or any other country. For number
of years past there has been some. especial
ly in the East, who have not followed the
Biblical injunction that " Brethren should
dwell in unity and revolt against the
constituted authorities of the Order led last
August to split among the Hibernians
Things came to focus when the parent
Order, in Ireland, directed the Order in
the city of New York to dismiss the Ma
tional Delegates and elect new ones The
command led to division of sentiment
and finally split. The result was the
establishment of more recent branch of
the Hibernians, of which an account was
given last Sunday. The Younger branch

TIE P. r. RS New scheme.

Mysterious rumors are floating about
relative to the vast purchases of land by
the agents of the Pennsylvania Railroad
company at the foot of the hill, beginning
at the Erie track and running fIom thence
southerly to Harsimus Cove. 1t is also
stated on good authority that the Harrison
estate has been purchased by that COM
pany, although the transfers were made
out in other names, as are all comprised
in the same plan. 1t is proposed, so the
story goes, to build ship canal from the
Erie track along the foot of the Hill to
Harsimus Cove. A bill having that object
in view is now pending before the Legis-
lature. Then great freight and store
houses are to be built on the brow of the
hill and the river front reserved for pas
ssnger traffic only.
