owner of these canals. 1t had done so IN
several cases, notably in the case of the canal
at Louisville around the falls of the Ohio
river. The government had built at the head
of st. Mary's river the greatest ship lock in
the world at a cost of between S., 10000 and
S2000,000 and an additional lock was now
being demanded in the interest OF the COM
MERGE of Lake Superior. The government had
entered on career of taking the shackels off
everything that foated on the water, No
matter how much caSualiSts might cry ont
against it, no matter how much the great
railroad companies cried it down Or tried to
prevent the passage Of river and harbor bills,
these great works would go on to completion
and woe to the public man who stood in their
way. Mr.. ingalls,, taking up again the uues-
ton of the company's accounts, which he had
already analysed, characterized them as
CROOKED AND BOGUS,
pretty thoroughly crooked, well done and not
rare at all. He read from these accounts to
prove that his original statement, as to the
directors allowing themselves compound in
terest on moneys advanced (and which had
been denied by Mr.. Conger), was strictly ac-
curate. Mr.. Miller denied that the company
had made up any account against the govern
ment The government had inquired of the
company as to the cost of the canal
and the company had made its statement,
that was an. lt mad presented no account
against the United States. Mr.. Ingalls, ex-
planned that the boards of engineers had
called on the company to make up a state
ment in order to ascertain what the company
would expect to derive in case the govern
ment should decide to take control of the
work, and the company had made this state
ment showing a cost of S17S,000. The state
ment was
FABRICATED, STIMULATED AND FICTITIOUS.
1t was made up almost wholly of estimates
that was formed after the proposition was
made to buy the canal. It consisted of in
terest compounded, of stock that never was
sold, of salaries that never were paid, but it
did not state the amount that
was received for the land Mr.
Miller remarked that the company
might have declined to present any account,
and might have required the government (if
it desired to take possession of the canaD to
pay the value of it. This great waterway,
this gate to to the great commerce Of the
lakes, ought to be owned and held by the GOV
eminent, so that no tolls should be levied on
that commerce. When the government asked
to be informed what the canal had cost, the
company had very properly put in the cost
for the services of its officers. This was per-
fectly legitimate. Their services were fixed
at very moderate igures-S1, 0G0 year for
the president and $1,000 year for the secre-
tary and treasurer. That was all there was
in the question. After an executive session

JOHN BRIGHT.
He Replies to the Recent Inquiries
Made by Gladstone.

LONDON, July 6.-John Bright has re-
pliep to Mr.. Gladstone as follows:
II am sorry that my speech irritated you.
1t has been as great grief TO me to speak as
have spoken as it can have been to you to
listen or read" Mr.. Bright then argues that
Mr.. Giadstones asking last November for a
majority to enable him to be independent of
Parnell was, by the country as well as by the
Liberals, understood to mean a majority to
resist Parnell, and not to make a complete
surrender to him. Referring to Mr.. Glad
stones objection to his quotation of the
phrase describing the Parnellites as '.march-
empire Mr.. Bright says that he
believes that the Irish movement is
now such conspiracy, and that it
is expecting and seeking its fur
Their success through Mr.. Gladstone
measures. Concerning the Irish land pur-
chase bill, Mr.. Bright thinks that both Mr..
Gladstone's friends and enemies throughout
the country have right to know the prem
ier's intentions concerning his future action
on the measure, and adds: ''Your language
seems to me rather a puzzle than explana-
ton, and the language of your colleagues is
contradictory, though little clearer
In conclusion Mr.. Bright SAYS; have
urged no man, in or out of parliament, to
vote against you. L abstained from speaking
until l was in the face of my electors. I adj
here to what / said. 1 shall be surprised if
the new parliament be more favorable to your
Irish measures than the one you thought nee
essary to dissolve. Though 1 thus differ
with you now on the question, do not imagine
that can ever cease to admire your great
qualities, or to value the great services you
have rendered to the country.
Very sincerely yours,

Small Talk.

The games OF the Fourth and fifth of July
in the Northwestern league somewhat
changed the positions of the clubs. Eau
Claire pulled up to second place and St. Paul
went down to fourth, Milwaukee being q
fraction of one per cent. ahead of the latter.
Both Minneapolis and Oshkosh increased
their percentage of victories. In its last
series in st. Paul and Minneapolis Duluth
lost three out of four games played and al
most lost the other. The latter has won but
four games more than Eau Claire. and the
prospects for close contest for the pennant
grow brighter daily.
The next game in st. Paul will occur on
Saturday between ST. Paul and Milwaukee,
the same clubs meeting again on Tuesday
Oshkosh is scheduled to play here on Sunday
and Thursday, and Eau Claire on Wednesday
and Friday. The home team will then make
trip to Wisconsin, opening at Eau Claire
Saturday, July II.

Shot TWO Girls.

PROVIDENCE, R. l., July 6.-Last even
ing while Agnes Lynn and Kate Herman,
both aged II years, were sitting in vacant
lot in the northern part of the city. they
were approached by an acquaintance
named Joseph E. Nolan. aged IS years,
who deliberately pointed a single-barreled
shotgun at them. They, becoming
alarmed, sprang to their feet, crying:
'.Don't shoot!" Nolan pulled the trigger,
discharging heavy load of bird shot into
the faces of the girls, They fell bathed in
blood, and Nolan, dropping his gun, ran
away. The girls were conveyed to theiE
homes. Agnes Lynn was found to be SER
iously injured and will probably lose both
eyes. The Herman girl, although suffering
great pain, was not dangerously hurt.
Nolan was found hiding in the old horse
burying ground. When locked up he pro-
tested his innocence, claiming that the
shooting was accidental, but there is a be-
lief that jealousy of one of the girls caused
him to commit the deed.

BALTIMORE, Md. July 6.-Social circles
in this city and in Frederick, the thriving
county town of Frederick county, and the
home of Whittiers barbara Fritchie,"
were startled by the news of the shooting
in Frederick of Mr.. Harry R. Beasant a
Wel-known society man of that place, by
Dr. Joseph 5. Webb, prominent dentist
OF this city. The cause of the shooting
was the betrayal by Beasant of Miss
Sears, cousin of Webb, to whom
he was much attached. DR.. Webb
formerly resided in Frederick, having been
taken care of after his mothers death by
Mrs Sears, the mother of the young lady
whose seduction he avenged, and who is
now confined at Mount Hope insane asylum,
having been driven mad by her msfortunes.
The betrayal occurred somewhat more than
year ago. When the young ladY's con-
dltlon became such that she could no
longer hide her disgrace, she was brought
by Beasant to lying-in home in
Baltimore, where a child was born
which Beasant sent to an orphan
asylum. On the recovery of Miss Sears
she returned to Frederick without then
knowing that her child had died. Beasant
after some time informed her of its death,
and feelings of remorse, inasmuch as she
regarded her lnatttentiOn to its wants as the
cause OF its death, together with the refusal
OF Beasant to fulfill the promise of mar
rage. by means of which he had effected
her ruin, dethroned her reason. She wan
dered to Baltimore where she would tell
all the acquaintance she met, the story of
her ruin and of her childs death in a found
ling asylum. She finally
BECAME A RAVING MANIAC
and had to be put in confinement. This
came to the ears Of DR.. Webb. from whom
it had been studiousIy kept by his relatives.
Yesterday afternoon he went to Frederick
and requested his sister, who resides there.
to tell him the circumstances of the affair.
She refused to give him any information,
and DR.. Webb then left and hunted for
Beasant. He finally succeeded in having
the latter pointed out to him. when he at
once began firing at him with revolver. The
only shot which took effect was in the
shoulder, making horrible wound. The
surgeon who attended the wounded man
probed for the ball. but was unable to find
it. When Dr.. Webb was taken before
magistrate he appeared calm and collected,
and expressed regret only that he had not
accomplished his intended work. Though
Beasant's wound is dangerous Webb was
released On bail, and returned to Baltimore
tonight.

ders. under Indictment for killing Charles
Campbell last November, was convicted
last night of murder in the first degree.

Three Victims Dying and a Score
More Wounded.
DUBLIN, July 6.-The riot at the Con-
servative wOrkmen'S club house here last
evening was provoked by the men in the
club, and they committed nearly all the
breaches of order. A Catholic procession
passed the club house, which was crowded
with men at the time. They attacked the
procession with bottles. This attack was
answered with threats and some stones.
The club people then literally showered bot
ties at the procession, and also fired a num-
Der of shots into it from revolyers. The
police surrounded the house, getting
control OF the premises, and finally az
rested seventy of the inmates. 1t has not
yet been ascertained how many of the pro-
cessionlstS were hurt. but three of the in
Jured Catholics were in a dying condition
this morning, and twenty others were lying
helpless in hospitals, all suffering from
wounds inflicted by bottles or bullets.
There is general
FEELING OF INDIGNATION
against the Orangemen of the club on &C.
count of the attack. Joseph Hyland, one
of the injured men, was seen by an ASso-
ciated Press reporter in the hospital to-day
and asked for a history of the riot as he
saw it. Mr.. Hyland said:
was walking quietly along in the process
sion down York street when suddenly, and
without the slightest provocation, lot of
bottles crashed down upon us from the club
window. This attack with bottles was kept
up continuously for long time, until the po-
lice formed Gordon around the club house
and got the upper hand Of the inmates. The
club men did not stop at bottles; they shot
revolvers at us also. The people on the
street retorted as well as thty could with
such stones and other missiles as they could
find, and in this way smashed the club house
windows. A bottle struck me in the rigs and
then bullet pierced my thigh. I fell to the
ground. This was just as the police stormed
the building. was afterwards carried to
the hospital.
The lord mayor has issued a proclama-
ton entreating the people to preserve or
der. Crowds are gathering on the streets
tonight. and
THE EXCITEMENT is INTENSE.

lucky home run in the ninth inning, Mas

ances by doing the batting. Minneapolis
really lost the game by putting Koran into
the box to pitch, Duluth knocking him out
IN three innings. Then Sowders, the phe-
nomenon, was put in and held the sluggers
down to three runs, one of which was
purely accidental. Minneapolis played a
beautiful game, fielding without an error
throughout, while they pounded Baldwin
for five singles, two doubles and home
run, Koran welding the willow for the lat
ter. 1t was beautiful game throughout,
but the audience was small one. The
home team deserved all the encouragement
1t can receive, and no game it plays should
be missed by the lovers of good base ball.
