FORMALLY PROCLAIMED.
The Anti-Rent Campaign Is called
= COnspfracy-TO suppress
The League.

LONDON. DEC. 1S-Tha Irish Exec
utive has formally proclaimed the anti
rent campaign. This action is accepted
by the leaders Of the National League as
a step on the Governments part toward
the suppression of the league. The funds
of the League have ALREADY been trans
ferred to France in order TO prevent
their seizure by the authorities, and the
rent moneys deposited with trustees
will also be secreted to guard them
against Government designs.
The proclamation warns all persons
that the melting of tenants 10 refuse to
pay or to Withhold rents is An Illegal act,
and the anti-Tent movement, 10y what
ever means carried out. is criminal con-
spiracy. 1t says that all moneys, re-
ceipts or documents given or received
tor the purpose of such conspiracy are
liable to seizure, and that persons IN
whose possession the same are found
snail be arrested. This sweeping meas
ure is the production of Lord AshbOurne
Lord Chancellor of Ireland, and assent
to its promulgation was Obtained at
Yesterdays Cabinet Council. It is hoped
that the English and Irish Home Rulers
will now rest until the meeting OF par
lament, when early action can be taken
in opposition to evictions and to restrain
the GOveTnmeEt'S coercive activeness-
In the mean time, however, the IN
lOnist papers clamOr for the immediate
suppression of the National League, anu
even demand that trial by jury oe sus-
pended in Ireland if the juries refuse 10
convict the advocates of the anti rent
movement.
DUBLIN, DEC. 19.-The proclamation
by the Government of the National
Leagues anti-Tent campaign, which
was published in the Official Gazette, has
been posted throughout Dublin and par

The sudden rise of coffee is some
thing Of surprise TO the heads of
families. Although the rise has not
been nearly so great at retail as at
wholesale thus far, the increase must
come around shortly as the retail stock
now on hand runs out. Cargoes have
advanced as much as five and SIX cents
a pound. This condition of things is
due not only to short crop in Brazil,
but the stock of coffee on hand is said
to be less by million bags than one
year ago.

between 1 and 2 o'clock this morning in
the stationery store of G. & A. Wolf, at

story tenement house tenanted by eight
families, numbering seventy. The occu-
pants of the third and fourth floors, who
had been awakened by the smoke ascend

and three grown sons, who lived on the
second floor, made for the fire escape, and
in descending the woman fell and received
fatal injuries. MI. and Mrs. Merkes lived
on the same floor and got safely to the
street. but in their hurry overlooked their
two children, Mary aged 9 and Frederick 8
years old. Policeman Cox, who in recog-
milton of his bravery has already been pre-

Special to the Glob,

special TO the GLOBE.
CHICAGO, July 19.-When the chamber
maid in the Windsor European hotel made
her rounds this morning the door of a room
occupied by j. A. Oestrich was found
locked. Repeated rapping failed to rouse
the occupant and becoming alarmed, the
girl looked through window and the
silence of the tenant was explained. The
main was lying across chair, his feet on
the floor ON one side, and his head in a
washbowl half full of blood. A Red jacket
revolver of No. 32-calibre was grasped in
his right hand and bullet hole Just over
his right eye showed the dreadful use he
had made of the weapon. The corpse pre-
scented horrible sight. The eyes were
bloodShot and protruded from their
sockets from the weight of blood above as
his head hung over the bowl. The hair
was matted from the same crimson fluid,
and the expression on the face was one of
suffering and pain. Without disturbing the
remains in the least, D. S. Jasper, the clerk
notified the coroner. The remains were
taken away and turned over to undertaken
to be put into little more presentable ap-
pearance. No one in the house heard the
shot, though it was probably fired between
the hours of 9 and II. Oestrich was in the
OIllce OIL lne nOl6l ABOUT o CLOCK lnQulrlng
for his mail. There was some for him and
he returned to his room Immediately, and
was next seen as described. Among the
papers found on his person were two letters
one to his wife, Augusta, and one to his
two children, Henry and Julian They
live in Ocenomowoc, Wis, and the letters
were addressed to them there. The
letter to his wife was written in
German, and in it he pleaded her
forgiveness for his act, but gave no reason
for it. On the reverse side was brief
statement of his financial affairs, showing
that he was grocer in Oconomowoc and in
very moderate circumstances. There was
besides note to 81. K. Edgerton q Sons,
bankers in Oconomowoc, ordering them to
pay to his wife all the money on deposit to
his credit. The other letter was fathers
atfectionate farewell to his children. He
begged them by kindness to their mother to
efface the memory of this last great trouble,
and signed the note Your loving papa to
his death" Seventy-six cents was the en-
tire amount of cash on his person. Mrs.
Oestrich telegrapned her husband this
morning that she would arrive in Chicago
tonight, and begged him to meet her at
the train. She came, and was met by
the news of his suicide. She could give no
reason for her husbands act.

Detroit 3.Kansas Civ

DETROIT, July ia prettily played
game was that of to-day between the clubs
from Detroit and Kansas City. Sharp,
clean fielding characterized the play of
both mines, and while it was something of
pitchers game the good work in the field
prevented it from being so dull as it at first
promised to be. Getzein struck out twelve
OF the visitors, Conway and Lille being the
only ones to escape that fate, and held
them down to five hits. Conway and good
fielding kept the home club from making
more than SIX hits. In the seventh missed
third strike sent Myers to second. By a
passed ball he was given third and Nc
Query's single brought him home. In the
last half of the same inning Thompson
reached first on Radford's tumble, and
scored on Hanlon's DOUBLE the latter reach
ing third on the throw home. A base on
balls was given Rowe and he stole second.
White then batted both men in. Score:

Missouri Prohibitionists.

OpCClSI W Iuc 0lODe.
JEFFERSON CITY, Mo-, July 19.-Great
excitement prevails in this state over the
prohibition question. There is scarcely a
school district in which the Prohibitionists
are not hard at work. and what is more, so
far they have swept nearly everything.
Official reports coming into the state
auditor report that in number of the
counties north of the Missouri river. dram
shops have been driven out and licenses re-
fused. Rev. Sam Jones, eX-Gov. st. John.
DR.. John A. Brook and large number of
local prohibition orators are holding tenn
perance meetings all over the state, and the
result of their work is apparent. In the
matter Of legislative nominees the Prohibit
tionists have been very successful. They
ask legislative candidates to pledge them
selves to vote for the submission of prohi-
bition amendment to vote of the people.
and up TO to-day they have secured three
fourths of the nominees. Unless some
thing occurs to break their run of luck it
appears that Missouri is likely to adopt
prohibition.

EAU CLAIRE, Wis, July 19.-St. Paul

to get under large number of fly balls.
Duryea was hit for a total of fifteen bases,
while Lawrence, Eau Glars left-handed
pitcher, was pounded for total of twenty

while Eau Claire got but five. The error
column gives Eau Claire ten and St. Paul

ers and costly Overthrows. Despite the
poor showing made by Lawrence, intelli-

all kinds of curves, while he shows some
of the points of an excellent general player.

ARMED SOCIALISTS.
Something About the Noted Lehr
und Weir Verein.

Something About the Noted Lehr
und SFehr Verein.
CHICAGO, July 19.-The Lehr und Wehr
Verein, of which the witness Waller in the
anarchists trial was member, and whose
plottings against society he detailed to the
jury, was organized in 1875, and ON April
16 of that year was incorporated under the
laws of the state. The incorporators were
about thirty German and Bohemian social
lists, whose object was to train and drill in
military fashion, and get ready for the great
conflict between capital and labor, which
agitators Of that class have for many years
declared was to come. The society at
tracted butlittle public notice until the year
of 1879, when the legislature passed the law
creating the state militia, and forbidding
the formation of private military organiza-
tions without license from the governor.
The law created great deal of discussion
among lawyers, many of whom believed il
was in conflict with the United States
militia act. In December, 1879, the Lehl
und Weir Verein, then forty strong, par
AIDED on the streets of Chicago armed with
rifles At their head rode Herman Presser,
a workingman and socialist. carrying a
saber. PreSSer was arrested and indicted
under the new law because his company
had refused to take out the required license.
His case was taken up
AS A TEST CASE
he was tried in the criminal court and fined
$40. The case was appealed to the Illinois
supreme court. and subsequently to the SUI
preme court of the United States. In both
courts the new law was sustained. The
Lehr und Wenr verein never paraded in
public after that and it was lost sight of,
but the members never ceased to drill and
wear military weapons. During the last
six years they have increased greatly in
number, and at the time of the Haymarket
riot there were six groups in the city.
cit has been no secret for syears," said a
well-known labor agitator this morning,
THAT the Lehr und Weir Verein were
training to fight the police. They have
drilled in their halls, and have steadily in
creased in numbers until there are proba-
bly, 200 or 800 of them"
''What class of people are they?"
''They are socialists of the ultra type.
Every socialist who is in favor of dynamite
is among them. The most of them have
served i'll the army in the old country, and
hate government and law. The men who
first formed the society were not dyna-
miterS. but they were men who believed
that the only way for working people to
secure their rights was to fight"
