DIGGING Irish Members.

DETECTIVES VIOLATE THE PRIVILEGES OF MEM
BEERS OF THE COMMONS IN SERVING sUMMoNsEs.
In the house of commons last night Mr.,
David Sheehy, member from South Galway,
stopped the debate on the Ashbourne act, ap-
pealing to the chairman on a question of priv
lege. He stated that he was leaving the house
when an attendant handed him what appeared
to be an ordinary visitors card. Upon going
into the lobby constable from Ireland served
him with a summons under the coercion act
He moved to report progress in order to give
the house an opportunity to discuss this auda-
cious breach of privilege.
Mr.. Balfour deplored the incident, and did
not know under what authority it had hap
pened. He entirely disapproved of such
measures occurring within the precincts of the
house. and stated that he would give an en-
phatic pledge that, 30 far as the Irish executive
was concerned, the incident would not occur
again.
Mr.. John Merely proposed that committee
be appointed to inquire into the circumstances
of the incident
Mr.. Smith consented, and q committee was
appointed, including Sir VIM. Harcourt, Mr..
Morley, Sir Charles Russell, Mr.. Parnell, Mr..
Timothy Hsaley, Home Secretary Matthews,
Mr.. Goschen, Mr.. Madden, Sir Edward Clarke
and Sir Matthew Ridley.

DRIVER OF TORPEDO WAGON BLOWN INTO
ATOMS AND MAGAZINE DESTROYED.
Titusville special to the Philadelphia Press
says: A horrible accident occurred at the Van
Week glycerine magazine, on the Enterprise
road, few miles north of Pleasantville. doc"
Haggerty, an employee of the torpedo company,
whose headquarters are at Warren and factory
on Hemlock run, 10 miles above Warren, was
drawing a load OF 1850 pounds of glycerine
from the factory to the Van Week magazine,
used as q local supply station for the contiguous
oil fields. He passed through Pleasantville
about IL am, with his load drawn by two
horses. HALF an hour later terrific explosion
shook the ground at Pleasantville as if by an
earthquake, breaking many windows. The ex-
plosion was distinctly heard in this city, miles
distant A party of men started for the maya
zine, and on arrival found nothing but two
great holes in the ground. The first was in
front OF where the magazine was located at the
foot Of a hill. 1t was 20 feet square 10 Deep
Where the magazine had stood there was an
other great cavity extending far into the hill
side. Not a vestige Of the driver was found.
Two hundred rods away small pieces Of horse
flesh were picked up. Haggerty lived at Hem
lock, and leaves a wife and six children. 1t is
thought the jolting Of the rough roads caused
the explosion.

THE BIGGEST YARN HE EVER TOLD HAPPENED TO
BE THE FROZEN TRUTH.
San Francisco Special to the New York Sun.
party Of men were talking in the Palace

known. Mr.. More, of Pasadena, said he knew
the most picturesque prevaricator on the Pa
cifc slope. "His name il Martin Wobbly-jaw
Martini" said Mr.. More, ''and works on my
ranch. He'd lie about the size Of half-dollar,
and there never were any black crows where
he came from"
'"where's that?'' asked Senator Fair, who has
q reputation Of his own to sustain.
Texas, and that's where Martin had most of
his astounding adventures. He has told one
story of a seance with Texan steer until
think he has forgotten that it is a lie. He says
he was working in packing house at Bryan,
and had charge Of the cattle that came to the
lling-house. One day, according to this
dred yards from the house, and seemed to be
too badly injured to move another step. Mar
tin grabbed an axe and went out to kill the
animal. When he was 10 feet from the steer
it jumped up, made rush for the boss liar Of
the boundless west, and hooked him. One
long horn went through his clothing, grazed
his back. and passed out under his collar at the
back Of his neck. Martin says he had ON q
new suit Of oilskins, and that he was carried
800 yards on the steers head. shouting for the
the axe.
THE crazy steer bolted in among the other
cattle, stampeded the herd, and beloved in q
way that nobody but this dandy liar ever heard
before. Suddenly the oilskins gave way, and
Martin, the monumental, came to the ground,
but he swung his axe as he fell and killed the
| steer with one blow. He wasn't hurt bit, and
when the boys ran up to him he calmly said;
You bet amt no SLOUGH Now that man is
the best all-round liar I ever knew. Show
better and I'll treat"
did he mention the name Of the man for
whom he worked at Bryan" asked one of the
party.
Yes he did. He always gives names, places
and dates as straight as string. Let me see.
The mans name was Alexander, think"
