A Bad Gang Arrested for Intimidation and Arson.
 TOPEKA, Kan, Jan. 3.-A gang of Lane county ku-kiux has just been broken up by the arrest of all but one. James Vandrins, Nelson English and P. s. Galloway were brought to the city by United States mar shal and lodged in the county jail. They, with five others, are charged with con- spiracy to intimidate homesteader named Hoover, with view to forcing him to aban- don his claim for the supposed purpose of one of their number Jumping it. The other five gave bond for their appearance to an swer an indictment in the United States dis trict court, and these parties not being able to give bond they will be confined in jail until the sitting of the next term of court.
 One night several months ago, these men, who were masked, entered the house ot Hoover, near -Dighton, carrying with them 6 bucket of tar and some feathers. They set upon Hoover and beat and kicked him unmercifully. An attempt was made to tar and the tar was scattered over the room and furniture. Mrs. Hoover came to her bus. bands assistance, and with heavy wooden chair felled three of the attacking party. In the scrimmage the masks were torn off, dis closing the identity of the parties, who then retreated. Not long after this occurrence the humble dwelling of the Hoovers was set on fire one night and burned, leaving the family homeless on the prairie. The matter was presented to District Attorney Perry, who brought it before the grand jury, which found indictments.

Insurance Companies Must Pay License

EAsToN, Penn. Jan. 3.-Judge Reeder handed down an opinion that cities in this State could impose municipal tax on in surance companies. The suit grew out of the refusal of the Fire Insurance Company of Northampton County to pay license fee of $10 per annum on the ground that the state insurance act of 1875 exempted insur- ance companies from municipal taxation. Heretofore insurance companies in this state have not paid a municipal tax, but under this decision they can be compelled to. In Reading the new license ordinance imposes a tax of $50 on each company. In Easton it is $1O for company, or an agency with several companies.

 Governor Joel Parker died suddenly m the city of Philadelphia on the morning or Jan. z, looS. The eminent services rendered Oy nlm to his state, his election to the prominent and important positions which he filled, hls pure patriotism, unyielding integrity, and conspicuous fidelity to every trust, render It fitting that more than ordinary respect be paid to his memory. He was New Jerseys only citizen who had been twice elected governor of the state by the people. Iden- tlfied with the military as major general, once occupying the position of attorney general, and at the time of his death a justice of the supreme court, are evidences of the respect, esteem and confidence of the people which he secured and to the last enjoyed.

FROM FOREIGN LANDS.
THE NEWS OF A DAY BROUGHT
 BY ATLANTIC CABLE.

MT. Gladstone Has No Intention of Making
 an Appeal to the Pope in Behalf of
 Ire1and-A Mailman Running Amuck.
 MT. sexton's Condition, Etc.
 LONDON, Jan. 3-A rumor gained wide circulation here yesterday that Mir. Glad stone intended to plead the cause of Ireland with the pope during his stay at Rome The story has no other foundation whatsoever than the fact that Mir. Gladstone is the guest, at Florence, of Signor Lacaita, who thirty years ago was the liberal leaders, private secretary, and is the father of Mir. Charles c. Lacaita, who few weeks ago resigned his seat in the house of commons as member for Dundee. Mr. Gladstone's methods of securing to Ireland the boon of local self-government are admittedly pecu- liar, but they do not include personal appeal to the pope to influence the action of the Irish clergy.
 The duke of Norfolk, just returned from Rome, had protracte conference with Lord Salisbury yesterday afternoon. What representations his grace made on behalf of the holy father are not definitely known, but it is rumored that he informed the premier that the pope could not intervene between the political parties in Ireland, but that when his holiness received Mgr. Per sico's final report he might advise the Irish clergy to assume passive attitude with re- gard to political matters. The duke, it is understood, pressed the question of re- establishing diplomatic relations between England and the vatican, but with what re suit it cannot be learned.
 The pacific effect of the publication of the forged correspondence continues. The name of the person chiefly responsible for the forcrorioc ho nouo,. ho ada ,,,,h1ic but it is an undoubted fact that both the czar and Prince Bismarck are in possession of it, and that its owner will have frequt mt occasion to regret having engaged in the unfortunate business.
 Mir. Richardson, a gentleman we'll known and hie hly esteemed in Ramsgate, where he resides. became temporarily insane or crazed with drink yesterday and ran amuck in the streets of that town, firing random shots from a revolver as he ran. Two or three persons pursued him, and these were soon joined by others who chased the maniac tC his home. Richardson reached the house considerably i'll advance of his pursuers, and entering, soon appeared at an upper window from which he fired the contents of sho, gun into the crowd below, severely wound ing three of their number. A rush was ther made for the house, which was entered, anc Richardson was dragged out and given te the police to save him from the vengeance of the crowd. He was taken to the police court somewhat recovered from his frenzy and remanded for examination.
 Advices from Massawah state that King John, at the head of an immense army o Abyssinians, has arrived at~Asmara. The condition of Mir. Sexton is unchanged The Daily News advises MT. Chamberlain to refrain from commenting upon Canadian politics, and further expresses the opinion that if he wishes to settle the fisheries ques tion and promote commercial union h. should make no more speeches upon any tCr,ic

BY OLIVE HARPER

So great was Rogers preoccupation that he heard only those words, without noticing the emotion. He went to Suzanne, who during this scene had been standing beside chair, and lifting hef. up in his arms gayly, as he always did, began to talk to her in his ac- customed manner, which was to address her as ii she were some grand stranger, all the while tossing her and playing with her almost roughly.
