a TolerabIy Quiet Sunday at Belfast.
NEW YORK, August 29th-The HeyaIds
Belfast special says: Two or three stores
broken into last night, a drunken
man beaten on the Spank Hill road for
abusing the late Prince Of Orange, and sew
eral small boys arrested for too en-
thusiastic clodding of The police, form a
full list of the leading incidents of what
has been very quiet Sunday. A burglar
drew a revolver on his captors also, al
though he did not dare to use it. He
will probably get several years imprison-
ment, as Belfast is proclaimed city.
Desperate Fight between Tenants and the
Police.
LONDON, August 29th.-The struggle be-
tween the constabulary and tenants on the
Marquis of Clanricarde's estate, which has
been going on for the past few days, has
terminated in the success of the police.
The estate of Woodford is in the southeast
corner OF Galloway, near LOugh Derg. A
tenant named Sanderson was ordered TO be
evlcted for non-payment of rent, but en-
couraged by the warm sympathy of the
whole Of his acknowledges, determined
to resist, and placed his house in a state of
siege. The scenes at Woodford Yesterday
were OF remarkable nature. A force of
600 police were engaged, besides a small
army OF baiiitts and emergency men. The
house was occupied by q number Of coun-
trymen, armed TO resist eviction. The roof
was loop-holed, and the Storming of the
place was most exciting affair. Scaling
ladders and shields like those which the
old Roman soldiers ased in approaching
the walls of the besieged, to protect them
against the defenders, were used. Alter Il
desperate struggle the house was carried by
storm, and the police, jumping in through
the room, made prisoners of twenty men
inside. 4 number of bailitls, emergency
men, and members of the police force were
injured by scalding water poured upon
them.
a Scare in Naval Circles.
LONDON, August 29th.-A tremendous
scare prevails in naval circles arising from
q startling discovery in the Shoeburyness
official gun trials. Among the shells ex-
perimented with and used against a heavy
target representing sections of armored
ships OF war, was one recently adopted by
the French Government for the army and
navy. For the purpose Of testing it tar
get of 1S-inch plate was used with nine
feet OF backing and 10-inch plate beyond.
The shells penetrated the entire mass, and
when found were so little affected as to be
almost fit for use again. the most power
ful shells of the regulation patterns, trained
against similar targets, have utterly failed
TO accomplish anything like the same exc
cution. This shell revolutionizes naval
warfare. English naval experts declare
that there is not an ironclad ahoat capable
of withstanding guns firing such shells.
