A Tralee correspondent telegraphs that
John FOrhan was shot dead at 5 on Sun
day evening at Mount Cole, near LiSt0wel,
while returning from TralNe, where he had
hired three labOurerS. They were with
HIM in q car. Two disguised men sudden
ly jumped over d fence and shot him dead.
Forhan, who was go years old, had been
boycOtted for taking a farm from which a
tenant had been eviCted. Lately the DO.
lice protection afforded him had been limi-
ted to a night patrol. He lived at Tulla-
more, between Ballylongford and Listowel.
No arrests had been made up TO late in the
evening. In making their escape the muir
dererS were screened by a wood. The la
bOurers communicated as soon as possible
with the Listowel police, who hurried to
the scene of the outrage.
On Saturday evening two shots were
fred at Thomas Murphy at Farmers bridge,
near Tralee, by a MAI wearing a red hand
kerchief over his face. Neither shot took
effect. The cause Of this outrage seems to
be that Murphy's employer took a road
contract contrary to the wishes of his
neighbours.
A serious ARRAY between some Hussars
and some civilians occurred on Saturday
evening in Kilrush. The soldiers were
returning from sOme military sports, and,
it is alleged, attacked a party Of civilians.
A conflict ensued, and Captain WEIGH,
RIM, taking command of the few available
police, ordered them to draw their revol-
vers. Large crowds gathered, and extra
ordinary excitement prevailed. Extra
police were speedily sent for and proven
ted the spread of the fight. A trooper
who was arrested made desperate resist
ance but WAS secured.-TImeS.

WILLIAM CHALMERS, Crown Surveyor,

of about 10 acres, more or less, to be

occupancy, if he can sheW to the s~atisfac-
ton of the Court that he has expended the
stipulated amount upon improvements, he
will be given title deeds making over to
him the land in perpetuity. Mr.. Mind is
now on a short visit to England, and it is
understood that he will Immediately take
possession of his grant and start operations
upon it as soon as he returns to the colony.
The experiment he has Sketched out for
himself is one of the most interesting and
most comprehensive, the colony has ever
heard of within it's own borders, and there
is a universal wish that it may prove
successful. Granted Mr.. Mind can demon
strate the possibility of cultivating the
land of the rivers in the way be proposes
TO do, at a profit, his example is certain
to be largely followed.

The Riots in France.

PARIS, Z Aug.
1t is not encouraging that there
was a serious riot at Amiens last
evening. About nine o'clock strong
bands OF the men on strike marched
from different quarters to NJ. C~Oc4ueTs
weaving mandatory, and when the
gtadarmes repaired to the spot pieces
of velvet were thrown by the rioters
in front of the horses legs to prevent
them from advancing. In q few
moments the entire establishment had
been sacked. Soon flames were seen
issuing from the building. The fire.
men approached in not haste, but the
men on strike hindered them from
using their engines. ChGSseWs-G-cbe
Gals and gendarmes now charged the
mob, and were received with volleys
of stones. Many of the horses were
badly hurt, moi to speak of the riders,
and it was not till strong detachments
of infantry and police were brought
up hat the street could be cleared.
The neighbourhood was then occu-
pied by the troops while the fire vas
extinguished but at one O'Clock this
, 1888-09-01

town was patrolled by detachments
of cavalry and infantry. The news
of this outbreak u%nfavourably affected
the Bourse to-day, it being regarded
as an ominous symptom.
A large band, composed Of no less
than 1900 of the men on strike,
betook themselves to the establish
ment of NJ. CocqueI-which was
sacked and fired last night-about ten
o'clock this morning but The gen.
darmeS and the police were able to
dispense them in a short time. 1t is,
however, feared that there will be
fresh disturbances tonight, as a mum.
Der of strangers have bounced down
on the town, and are busily at work
in the poorer quarters distributing
money and melting the people to riot.
On their side the authorities are
making preparations for the main
tenance of order and for the proven
ton of a repetition Of the disgracefuI
scenes of yesterday. In short, some
foresight is at last to be displayed
with a view to the protection Of
property at Amlens.
1t is hourly becoming more evil
dent that the riots at Amiens have
produced a very unpleasant impress
sion here in Paris. The "navvies"
on strike held another meeting at the
Bourse du Travail to-day. A letter
addressed to M. FrancasteI, President
of the Contractors Syndicate, was
read and approved. 1t set forth that
if the contractors agreed TO the pro-
posal made by the Municipal Lnbour
Committee that it should arbItrate
between the parties the workmpn
would willingly accept it. Mean
while, however, a resolution TO be
forwarded to NJ. Floquet was voted,
calling on the authorities TO remove
the troops and the police from The
workshops, and declaring that the
Government would be responsible for
any mishapS that might occur owing
to the Intervention Of the SergentS de
vjJJe. NJ. BouI6, who presided, then
exhorted the men TO hold firm, and
TO stick to their colours, but he vas
violently ~interpeIlated by Citizen Char
lot, who declared that he was for the
"Strike," but not for ''%reyolution." NJ.
Chariot, however, was ordered out Of
the Hall after a lively scene, and the
proceedings closed with the announce
ment that the committee had pnr-
chased a wreath for thirty francs
which would be borne tomorrow at
Eudes' funeral. Then it was the turn
of the "cal6-waiters" and "labourers'
assistants" who after comforting at
the Bourse du Travail, marched to-
wards the Rue VilIedo "to break the
head" of the proprietor OF an agency
Office. On their way they mOiested
the walters at some OF the cafes, and
smashed the windows of one estnb-
lishnent; but they found the Rue
Richelieu barred to them, and turned
off in the Rue Th6r6se. They were
preparing to sack an office in the
latter street. when a hundred police
men, led by two inspectors, with

The Kimberley Mine Disaster

quire into the terrible disaster caused
by the fire in De Beers Diamond
Mine at Kimberley. The principal
feature Of the dreadful calamity is the
miraculous escape of fortythree white
men and 460 natives, who lived
through Wednesday night in the
burning mine, and formed part of the
night gang of 800 men who descend
ed into the mine just before the fire
broke out.
Regarding the origin of the fire
all that is positively known is hat it,
was discovered in the casing of the
entrance shaft below the SCOTT. level.
In spite of the efforts to quench the
flames, they spread alarmingIy, and
in a few minutes the shaft resembled
a raging furnace. The flames rapid

AN INSIGNIFICANT little duffer up at
Douglas, who parts his name in the middle
and writes slipshod English for a weekly
newspaper which be calls the Republican,
has been making a series of coarse attacks
upon the Democratic candidate for dele
gate ever since the campaign opened.
When the fellow brought his little news
paper outfit to Douglas a few months ago
from Dakota he hadn't the necessary
funds to get it out of the freight Office and
the money was advanced by the manager
of Mr.. Organs store at Douglas. He was
probably unused to having favors done
him and Mr.. Organ has therefore incurred
his mortal enmity.

advise the county commissioners to tax
mortgages-a proceeding not heretofore
in vogue in this county-lf it was not to
raise money to stop the hole that he had
made in the bottom of the county treas
ury?
As legal adviser to the board Mr.. Stoll
was asked whether under the statutes
mortgages could be taxed. He replied
that under the territorial laws they I'M
q~uestionably could. In this opinion w.
w. Corlett concurred and it is upheld by
every lawyer in the city who has examined
the subject. Mr.. Stoll's action in the
premises did not extend beyond the state
meut of what was permissible under the
law. Judge Bergman, for instance,
spoke warmly for half an hour opposing
the motion of Commissioner Hunton hat
they be stricken from the assessment roll.
1t should be noted in this connection that
Mr.. Stoll did not make the laws; he
merely interpreted them as they appeared
on the books.
Question No. 9.-If the court expenses
were not remarkable, why did the county
commissioner say to parties who remon-
strated about the big assessment upon
their property for the purpose of taxatlon
that 1t was necessary to raise the values
In order to meet the extraordinary district
court expenses oc~casioned by Stoll's Grim
inal trials?
We answer this by simply saying that
we do not believe the commissioners ever
made such a ridiculous remark. The as
sessment for purely county purposes this
year (which includes the entire
expenses of the district COURT
is II mills or one quarter of
a mill less than last year. The complaint
OF the people over increased taxation does
not find its source in the big expenses of
the district court, as we have previously
shown, but in taxation for school pur-
poses. which is increased IL mills, and
taxation for territorial purposes, which is
increased 3 LIS mills.
In response to the fulmlnations of the
Sun we have now covered the ground
thoroughly and honestly. We have done
SO for the last time. We cannot afford
the space and will lot bore the public
with any further answers to its mendacious
twaddle upon this subject.

JUDGE CAREY had the presumption to
make this allegation in the speech which
he delivered at Douglas: From April
after the time Grover Cleveland was in
augurated up to the present day there
has been an even 100 patents issued in the
territory, representing less than 1900
acres of land"
The official records of the Cheyenne
land Office alone, without taking into con-
sideration either the Evanston or Buffalo
land offices, show hat since Cleveland s
inauguration 22s patents covering 54,S24
acres of land, or l4,067 more than in
Arthur's administration, have been re-
ceived in this city and turned over to the
settlers who were entitled to them.
Judge Carey's mathematics seem to be
quite as shaky as the Suns.

GOT 1T JUST THE SAME.

1t seems impossible for the Sun to
keep its fingers off the south side. 1t
has consistently, if not ably, opposed the
establishment of a precinct in that part of
the city on the ground that there was no
necessity for it and that the people did
not want it. This was done in face of the
fact that with but two precincts at the
general election it has sometimes required
three days to count the votes cast.
One OF the Democrats WHO signed the
petition for the establishment of the new
precinct probably owns as much property
on the south side as any resident of the
city. When the matter came up before
the county commissioners there was a
prolonged and discordant howl from the
Republicans. 1t was only with extreme
difficulty that the county treasurer was in
duced to keep his clothes on so wildly ex-
cited did he become over the idea Of form
ing a new precinct for the convenience of
the people of the south side. He stormed
and ragged about the commissioner Office
and gave forth the impression that the
people of hat part of the city could not
be trusted to the extent of having a poll
ing place for their convenience.
Notwithstanding Republican protest
and objection the county commissioners
established the new precinct Just the
same and the south side people will have
the satisfaction of voting at it on Nov. 6

WE SINCERELY hope, with the Sun,
that those who vote for members of the
territorial council will not be won by gush
and cheap rhetoric. We have no narrow
prejudice one way or the other against
John A. Riner, but we have positive
convictions that so long as he is the paid
attorney of the Union Pacific railroad his
place is not on the floor but in the lobby
of the council chamber.
