Opening Of Parliamcnt-Thc Queens
speech.
LONDON, Aug. 19.-At tho hour Parlia-
ment met a depressing and persistent rain
was falling, and tho crowd gathered about
the Westminster building was small.
Some enthusiasm was displayed on the ar
rival of various prominent leaders, but il
was generally very faint. Tho attendance
in tho house of commons was large, many
members arrived before breakfast in order
to secure good seats. The Queens speech
was as follows:
My Lords and Gent1emen--I have sum
| moned you to meet at this usual season for
transaction of Indispensable business. The
session Of tho last Parliament was intor-
rupted before the ordinary work of the
year had been completed in order that the
sense Of my people might be taken on cer-
tain proposals with regard to the govern
ment in Ireland. The result Of that appeal
has been to confirm the conclusion to which
tho late Parliament had come. The
provisional nature Of the arrangement
may DO the last Parliament, for the
public charge of the year renders it in
e&pcdient to postpone any further the
nSideratiOn CT necessary fnan ciai
legislation. Gentlemen of tho House Of
Commons, tho estimates which We're sub
n1ittcd to tho last Parliament and only
partly voted will be laid before yo;,. my
lords and gentlemen. at Il period Of The
year usually assigned for tho recess after
tho prolonged and exceptional lahors to
which many OF You have been subjected.
abstain from recommending now for
your consideration any measure except
those which are essential to the conduct of
public service during the remaining portion
of tho fiscal year. / ann confident they
will receive your prompt and careful
attention.

The deceased had been a constant attendant of the First Congregational church until within a year, and was one of the oldest members. He was a man of social, genial nature, always cordial and hospitable. One of his marked traits of character was his charity for the failings of others. He had lived in Nashua for about sixty years and had wide circle of friends and acquaintances who will remember him for the many acts of kindness which he per formed and because he was a good neigh bor, kind friend and faithful to every trust MT. Greeley retained his faculties to a re- markable degree and his mind was clear to the last. Five children survive him, four sons, Edwin s. of New Haven, Conp.; Frank %. 1n. oA DIlugeporC, Conn.; samuel F. or Chicago, H.; Alfred H. of Antrim, N H.; and daughter, Mrs. E. F. Preston of this city The funeral took place at thu the Ss old home on Lock street on Sunday afternoon and was largely attended, many of our oldest and most honored citizens paying their respect to the memory of the deceased by their presence. The floral tributes consisted of an elegant pillow inscribed Father" a sickle of ivy leaves, a miniature sheaf of wheat mounted by sickle and three large pots of aggerations. The body reposed in a black broadcloth casket and the inscription upon the plate was "Seneca Greeley, died Nov. 26, 1886, aged 92 years and 6 months" Rev.

A NOTABLE CASE.

Two Prominent Railroad Officials Ar-
 rested Last Nisht-A Case That will
 Excite Considerable Interest Here
 and EIseWhere-A Discharged Elm.
 ploye's Complaint.
 Warrants were issued yesterday for the arrest of Stacey B. Opdyke, jr., superintend- ent of the New Haven & Northampton rail road company and William H. Wallace, as- sistant superintendent of the Consolidated road, for alleged conspiracy against Thomas Meaney of this city, a former employe of both roads. The conspiracy consisted in the alleged blacklisting of Meaney by both superintendents. This is the first instance in the history of labor agitation in this sec- tion of the country in winch a case of this nature has occurred.
 Mr. Opdyke said yesterday afternoon that he had not requested Meaney's discharge and that he did not know of it until after it had happened. He said that his company had no blacklist book. He had heard noth- ing of his proposed arrest.
 The warrants were sent to the police office shortly after noon by City Attorney Cable. Chief Charles E. Bollman served the war rants in person and about o'clock brought Opdyke and Wallace to the police office. Their descriptions were recorded. Vice President E. NJ. Reed went bonds for the two gentlemen in the sum of $2O0 each. The outcome of the case will be watched with interest The circumstances which led to the arrest are about as follows: Thomas Meaney entered the service of the Northamp- ton railroad company eleven years ago. He worked for considerable time and then went to work for the Consolidated road. Af- ter working on this road for two years and a half he went back into the service of the Northampton and for the past five years up to the 29th of October Just past was night yardmaster at the Canal wharf yard.
 Meaney's story is further: Toward the lat ter part of October he was taken sick and laid off for three days. When he returned to work and the next pay day came around the three days pay was deducted. Meaney objected to this and told the superintendent that he thought he was entitled to the pay as he had put in a great deal of over time off and on for some time. He resigned, SO he says, because of this. He then went to work for the Consolidated road again.
 Meaney said yesterday afternoon that R. G. Cu1tiss of the Northampton road had written letter to MT. Wallace objecting to his being employed on the Consolidated at Mir. Opdyke's request. After his discharge Meaney says that he went to Mir. Opdyke and asked him what his objections were and got but little satisfaction. When Meaney found himself out of work and without the means to support his sick wife he laid his troubles before Town Agent Reynolds and subsequently Attorney James P. Pigott was consulted. It was through his Pigott's instrumentality) that the warrants were issued yesterday. MT. Meaney said a civil suit would also be brought against MT. Opdyke and Mr. Wallace. but it had not yet been determined at what amount to lay the damages He further asserted that he was blacklisted.
 The case will probably come up before the court this morning.

Most Remarkable Record.

Two years ago Lieut.. Moxie discovered 8 common fodder plant that would cure the tobacco and liquor appetite, and latsr that it would cure nervous exhaustion, relieve over worked people of the terrible tired, weak feeling without stopping work and leave no reaction like stimulant. The doctors were nonplussed over it, as it did not seem to be either 8 medicine, stimulant or tonic and produced a permanent effect like food. It was at last called Moxie Nerve Food. The women went after it like mad and it is said the sales have aggregated over 5000, ,000 quart bottles in 16 months. It set the whole country in excitement. The liquor dealers thought it was going to ruin their business, but now they are selling it at as good profit as is made on liquors. It is said to have saved drunkards by the hundred thousand and cured nervous wrecks not amenable to medicine in a much larger proportion. Apothecaries sell it. n29 m&w daw
