in Missouri.

Two Men Brutally Murdered at Picnic
in Missouri.
BRooKFIELD, Mo-, Aug AT a picnic
given at the Meyer school house Saturday,
nine miles north of this place, a terrible
affray occurred in which two men lost their
lives Farmers for miles around had gath
cred at this picnic to spend the day in harm
less amusements, and one John Garner took
advantage of the gathering to establish
booth for the sale of beer without complying
with the legal requirement Of procuring a
license. Several heads of families present
called on Chauncey Hague, constable of
Granville township, to suppress the nui-
sance.
Mr. Hague placed Garner under arrest and
putting deputy in charge of the booth,
started off the grounds with his prisoner,
when Edward, brother of John Garner,
ran up with an ak in his hand and struck the
constable blow on the neck, severing the
windpipe, and again struck him with the ak,
cutting through the collar bone and down
into the lung Tet FOgarty, who ran up to
Hague's assistance, received a blow from the
ak in his left side, cutting through the ribs
and almost severing the body in twain. Be-
fore the Mortified bystanders could regain
their presence of mind, Garner darted into
the woods, brandishing his ak, and as yet has
not been captured. Hague and Fogerty were
quiet, industrious citizens and the terrible
fate that befel them while in the discharge of
their duty, has raised such bitter feeling
against the murderer, that when captured,
the courts will not be burdened with his case

Sensation at q Funeral.

CLEVELAND, o., Aug 3-Patrick Walsh,
prominent organizer of the Irish National
league in all sections of the United States,
whose son was secretary of the league waS
buried here. A sensation was caused at the
funeral when w. j. Gleason, president of tbs
Parnell branch in this city said that ar.
rangements had been made for singing by
the choir of St. Johns cathedral, but that
Bishop Gilmour had refused them permission
10 do so. The statement was received with
manifestations of indignation from the 200
Irishmen present, who thought Catholics de-
nounced it as a blow at dead Catholic and
at the Irish National league. The affair has
revived bitter ness which had long existed
between certain members Of the local league
and Bishop Gilmour. The cause Of the
bishops objection to the appearances of the
choir at the funeral is attributed to the fact
that the deceased wrote long letter. tending
to show that st. Patrick while a Catholic,
was not Roman Catholic.

bell, of the Bijou Opera company, though
also in danger, managed to save himself.
The time was about 11:30 a. m. The place
close by the pier The tide was running out
with a tremendous undercurrsnt Michael
Bradford was in his surf boat with lady.
There were hundreds in the water further
out when suddenly there was cry for help.
Clara Randall was drifting out. A moment
more and there was lusty cry from one of
the men. There was a rush Of those on tho
pier to the rail Mike Bradford heard the
first call and saw the waving hats signaling
the danger. He bent to his oars, the lady in
front of him, cool and collected, urging him
on. A man who had gone to rescue the lady
was in danger. Then came ringing cheer;
the man was saved and the boat came pulling
for the shore. Clara Randall was saved by
Ned Bradford, who had run out with hi" life
lines.
Time few so fast that the full extent of the
danger had not been realized. Julien Weber
had started forward in the breakers at the
first alarm, resolving to do his best for those
he saw drifting away. But he, too, though a
good swimmer, became exhausted and called
for aid. Nike Bradford had reached the
board walk unconscious that anyone else was
in peril. With the signal however, he
sprung over the rail and was off to the gal
liant fellow who had risked his life to save
Others, and struggled back with him in an
exhausted condition, His brother had also
been busy again. Mr. Ritchey was surely
sinking Ned Bradford and Piersal, how
ever did not despair The life-lines reached
the man, and the record Of four more saved
was made. Such a scene has rarely at
tended bathing at Atlantic City.

return to Washington between the 1st and

Of the Mexican diff1cultyp
"That will be speedily adjusted. Both
countries are equally anxious to settle the
matter without further dissension. The
papers in the matter were, believe, sent yes

Congress, you know, has asked to be kept
regularly acquainted with all steps taken"
"Then you think there is no chance for

witness called. After being sworn, he testl-
aed that he was the mayor of the city May

ance of a circular Of very peculiar character.

safe keeping of the city to have the threaten
ing meetings dispersed.

clusion of his speech when he left He had
reached his home, about mile and quarter,
and was getting ready to retire when he
heard the explosion Of the bomb. The mayor
further stated that he thought Spies OBJ
served and recognized him. as the tone of his
speech seemed to change substantially, and
that one man came and spoke to him

should say that Parsons speech was very
fiery political hiraugue. Some of the ex-
pressions made by the speakers were: "Why
this gathering together Of the polce9 Why
this display Of patrol wagons2 Why were
our brothers shot down at McCormicksT
The mayor stated that he did not know the
exact words of the answer to these questions,
but the tenor was that it was all due to the
oppression of the laboring classes.
