PARNRLL INTERVIEWED
On the Irish sltuation-He Does not Con
Idemn Resistance.

LONDON, April 26.-Mr. Parnell, il
conyersing with an American CORES
pondent on the Irish situation, said thai
the Irish people are bound to disobey
the illegal coercion law, holding that
such laws can have no moral sanction
AS to the prospects OF some immediate
change, Mr.. Parnell is not sanguine. He
says: ."From all the indications afforded
by the elections it is evident that at the
next general election, those electors who
abstained from voting in 1885, and there
by returned the Tory Government with
a hundred majority, will, in the main,
vote to restore Mr.. Gladstone to power
with about a similar majority. But as
to when the opportunity of a general
election will come is question. The
time Is only just approaching in which
1t will be possible to test the cohesion
of the Liberal Unionists to their Tory
allies.
"The government are rather prema-
turely pluming themselves on the un.
opposed second reading OF the Local
Government bill. This measure depends
on multitude OF details, and the battle
ground Of these will be in committee.
But whether or not We succeed in up
setting the government this year over
the Local Government bill or some 9TH
er question, it must be remembered that
the final result of the restoration Of o
Parliament to Ireland is assured beyond
a doubt. For an event OF such magni-
tude, which has now become the certain
pacific prospect OF year or two, we can
surely afford to have a little patience.
Although the pause may seem to be
long, 1t is essential and valuable.
II have said period Of waiting was
an advantage to us. 1t is educating and
will educate the people Of Great Britain.
Men who in 1885 followed Mr.. Gladstone
in his great measure from belief in the
man, now follow him as well from be-
lief in the cause. In Ulster this i'm
provement is noticeable. Ibelieve from
all hear that an election were to take
place now, we should make net gain
OF three members there.
"Churchills speech on the Irish Coun-
ty Councils bill was one of the most i'm
portant Of the session, and certainly the
aBfest he has ever delivered on any sub
ject. His foreshadowing OF grave dis
aster to the Tory party at the polls If a
general election, perhaps close at hand,
arrived, produced tremendous sensa-
ton, and seemed most ominous. In fact
the speech was undoubtedly the hardest
blow this Government has yet received,
and it will have far-reaching results in
the country. These results, towards
which events are shaping, must be in
our favor. Let us wait alertly, but still
in patience, and see what they are"

THE TRUST INVESTIGATION.
Testimony Showing Discrimination in Favor
OF the standard OIL Company.

OF tho standard OIL Company.
WASHINGTON, D. c., April 26.-In the
Trust investigation to-day John swartz
and f. L. Wood, OF Pennsylvania, testi-
fed to having heard that the Pennsyl-
vania railroad had allowed lower rates
to other shippers than to themselves.
They thereupon presented claims for
rebate to the railroad company, and thir-
teen cents per barrel on their shipments
OF oil was returned to them.
State Senator Lewis Emery, OF Brad
ford, Pa, COrroborated the statement
made Yesterday by Mr.. Campbell TO the
effect that practically all the independ-
ent reliners had been wiped out between
1874 and 80 by reason OF the rebate
given the Standard and its predecessor,
the Southern Improvement Company,
by the railroads, and by other means
they were simply "deviled to death"
A computation made by witness
showed that the Standard had received
over ten millions in rebates in seventeen
and a half months from the four princi-
pal railroads leading from oil fields.
The amount OF rebates given the STAN
dard he certainly thought amounted in
the aggregate to over 500, 900 900, and
had the railroads treated all shippers
alike ii was his belief that they would
now be in receipt OF an annual income
Of from Sl5,0OO0OO to SO, ,000,0 900 greater
| than they received at present.

To Compete with the Tack Factories.

1t is said on good authority that the
LaBelle nail works are about to put in q
building on their premises now vacant,
but formerly occupied as blacksmith
shop, a plant for the manufacture OF the
small sizes OF nails out Of picked iron,
as they are now made in numerous tack
factories here and elsewhere. As has
been heretofore explained in the col
umns Of this paper, the nails thus made
are sold at prices at which the ordinary
cut nail cannot begin to compete with
them. The iron used is treated before
being cut TO bath in acid and then in
alkali, which renders II so easy to cut
that the knives OF the machines do not
have to be ground nearly so often as the
nail machine knives, and the reduction
OF labor thus accomplished cheapens the
nail materially. II has been q question
whether the nail mills would come to
the tack makers way OF cutting nails, or
abandon the market for small sizes to
their competitors. The LaBelle seems
to have decided to carry the war into
Africa.

WILMINGTON, DBL, April 26.-Jose-
phine Tilghman, a colored woman, en-
ployed as a domestic at the European
Hotel, was shot in the mouth and dan
gerously wounded to-day by her hus-
band, Rev. George H. Tilghman, pastor
of the African Union Church. For some
time Tilghman fancied that his wife was
unduly intimate with a member OF his
congregation and, upon coming home on
Saturday last unexpectedly, his suspi-
Cions were confirmed.
Since then Tilghman has seemingly
been insane on the question Of his wife's
infdelity and last night he gave her a
severe beating. He borrowed a revolver
and, after steadying his nerves with a
heavy draught Of liquor, he called his
wife out OF the hotel and shot her to-
day. The wound is not necessarily TO-
tai. Tilghman gave himself up. He
stated that he had intended to kill his
wife,

PIrrsBURGn, April 27.-The Western
Wire Nail Manufacturers Association,
met here to-day to consider the advisa-

Mollie Green is the heroine Iof a thrilling
scenein Perry county, Tenn. Miss Mol
lie is an attractive young lady of Is, who
teaches school on Cypress creek. Her
father, Robert Green, lives across the
Tennessee river in Hickman county.
The little log school house was quiet,
and the children busy with their lessons,
when shaggy dog, foaming at the
mouth, swapping and biting, dashed in
at the door and made toward one Of the
children. The brave little woman
thought only Of the children in her care,
and sprang between them, and the in
truder told them it was q mad dog. She
kicked ut il, her skirts protecting her,
and by the aid OF u heavy rule kept it
at bay until all the children had fled.
The infuriated animal repeatedly sprang
at her throat, but she was agile and reso-
lutely held her ground. When all the
little ones were gone she desperately
fought Off the dog until she reached the
door, which she pulled to after her and
fell fainting outside. The children in
the meantime ran to the nearest house,
an eighth OF a mile distant, and gave the
alarm. Two men soon came and killed
the dog, which had been terrorizing the
neighborhood for some days. The CRATE
full parents OF the children took up n
subscription and gave the young woman
a fine saddle-horse. Her clothes were
literally torn to pieces during her severe

The House to-day went into the Com
mittee of the Whole on the tariff bill.
Mr.. Buchanan, of New jersey, opposed
the bill, which, he said, struck blow at
almost every industry in his district, 1t
was opposed by the teachings Of Wash
ington and the father Of the Republic.
1t was in its details violent, inequitable
and illegal. 1t would increase the sur
plus by stimulating importation. 1t
would carry gain to other nations and
bring loss to our own. He denounced
in general and in detail the provisions
OF the bill and declared that in con-
test between free trade and protection
he would be found on the side OF that
policy which for many years had brought
prosperity and happiness to his native
land.
Mr.. Hemphill, OF South Carolina, said
he could not conceive system more un-
Just, more unreasonable, more unfair
and more unrighteous than the protec-
tive system. He earnestly appealed to
every gentleman who had the faintest
conception OF justice to lend his aid to
the pending bill, which sought in some
measure Mt least to lift from the bowed
necks OF the people OF the country the
burden that had been laid upon them.
Mr.. Osborne, OF Pennsylvania, sub
mitted an argument against the bill,
which he characterized as blow at the
dignity of American labor. A protective
law enabled well paid laborers in all in
dustries to own his own home and to
clothe and educate his children and
create for his products home market
that was ten fold more valuable than
any that could be offered under free
trade. He protested in the name OF the
great State Of Pennsylvania against the
passage of bill which would destroy its
industries, impoverish its farmers and
degrade its laborers.
The committee rose and the House
took recess until s p. m, the evening
session to be for debate on the tariff bill.
