GREELEY'S PuGNACITY.
How the Great Editor Reproved q Crowd
of Gotham Skulkers. p S--ss


Horace Greeley, as is well known,
was very pronounced non-resistant.
yet he was one of the most pugnacious
men in the world. A curious instance
OF this incongruous temperament and
its result came under the writer's obser-
walton on one occasion, occasioning
him some surprise. 1t was the general
opinion that the old fellow was coward
at heart, and made use of his non-re-
sistant professions as screen to pro-
tect himself from personal injury at
the hands OF an opponent. 1t was a
Sunday morning in New York at the
very commencement Of the war. just
after the great Bull Run scare, and the
Government authorities at Washington
were franticauy calling for troops. The
Metropolitan Hotel of New York, then
the great uptown exchange, was filed
by a motley crowd, drinking, smoking
and discussing the situation OF be-
leagured Washington. Among the
cvowd, were several army officers in
full uniform, smoking their cigars and
criticising Lincoln as commsnder-in-
chief in sneering way, when a COM
motion occurred in the doorway, and
Greeley. with his old felt hat on the
back OF his head, rushed through the
crowd and up to the group Of officers
and addressed them somewhat after
this style: why are you loafing about
here, you miserable cowardsP Why
are you not reporting yourselves at
Washington This is q resort for
skulkers. Aren't you ashamed OF your
selvesP" The biggest fellow OF the
group was terribly angry. and lifting
his heavy sword he Numbered out.
..Repeat those words. Old man, and I'll
split your skullr' Greeley threw of
the old felt hat exclaiming: Strike az
soon as you please; l repeat what
have already said" Every one present
expected that the old man would be
cut down; instead. the fellow turned
on his heel, saying. Come away, boys
| won't strike the cid lunatic." Gree

KENTUCKY TRAGEDY
Caused by n Hired Hand's Fondncss for
His Employers wife.

Caused by n Hired Hand's Fondncss for
His Employers wife.
MUNFoRDvILLE, KY, July l0.-This
morning Elias franklin, a well-to-do
farmer living just south ofGreen river,
in this county, shot aud killed James B.
Trent, his hired hand, who was at the
time at work on his farm in the field.
Two shots were fired, both taking effect
in the breast near the heart, the victim
dying without q word. Immediately
after the killing Franklin told a woman,
who was milking COW in an adjoining
field, that he had killed Trent because
he had caused his wife TO desert him.
Trent has been living in the same house
with his employer since the first Of
January, and it was not known by their
neighbors that there was any trouble in
the family, though it has been whis-
pered for several weeks that Franklin's
wife, who is young and beautiful, was
too fond OF Trent, who is also young
and is unmarried. Last Saturday Mrs.
Franklin left home and went to her
people in another county, where she
now is. Yesterday Franklin was seen
with new Winchester repeating rifle,
and was heard to say that he had just
bought the gun, and that, too, for q
special purpose. The Coroner's jury
has Just returned a verdict in accord
ance with the above facts. All the
parties are well known and respected.
franklin is still at large, but the Sheriff
and posse are hard after him.

The Inspector looked triae worried
"Whoever told you that" he said

Attorney David was running arounC
the station in an effort to find out WHERE
the prisoners were. Attorney Sullivan
stood in quiet dignity, apparently OBJ
livious of all that was going on. Inspect
OF Bonheld was carrying on q miscel-
laneous conversation With a host of oth
GERS, and the two prisoners were in theil
cells down stairs.
The cases were on Justice Il. Whites

took seats in the court room. Just then
Attorney Donohue came in, and he anC
Attorney David had n long
TALK WITH THE PRISONERS.
The case was called and Attorney Da
vid Immediately asked for a change o.
venue. Mr.. Gillary and Kelley, who
were to be arrested with Hoge and
Murphy, are strikers who have been act
ing as clerks for Hoge. Their oCcupa.
ton was TO assist in the preparation Of
circulars to the various branches OF the
Brotherhood. Mr.. Hoge was sitting on
his bench. He did not seem at all ter
rified at his predicament, and smiled
good naturedly when the reporter ap-
preached.
"Yes, was surprised" he said,
greatly surprised. but they had no
trouble in arresting me, l guess"
Anything to say?"
"No, l think / won't talk now. 1t
would not be right, you see, to say any
thing until see my attorneys"
"How about those circulars"
"Now, told you l have nothing to
say. II is useless to ask me-"
Murphy was pacing up and down his
cell. He was very nervous and agitated.
A question put to him ELECTED no re-
sponse. Another brought him to the
door OF the cell. He is slight, sharp
featured young man with prominent
nose and thin lips. Sharp, gray eyes
glance from under bushy eyebrows be-
meath good forehead. His pale face
wore a deathly pallor, and as he paced
up and down his cfenched hands told OF
the state of nerves.
"Do you wish to say anything in re-
gard to your arrest?"
''No, sir" and he turned away and
sought refuge in the further corner OF
his cell.
The most sensational development in
the Burlington company case is the con-
fessio1 of John J. Kelley and John
II. McGillinary, clerks, respectively
to Chairman Hoge, Of the strik-
ing Engineers Grievance Committee,
and Chairman Murphy, OF the Firemen's
Committee. 1t settles beyond u doubt
the connection OF these two chairmen
with the circular sent out to induce
engineers to come here and secure work

MIR. PARNELL'S DREAM.
An Imperial Parliament as Result of the
Home Rule Movement.

Home Rule Movement.
LONDON, July 10.-In an interview
Mr.. Parnell said he believed that the
Home Rule movement would result-in
the establishment OF an Imperial Parlia-
ment, in which England, Scotland,
Ireland, Wales and the colonies would
be represented. Each country would
have a separate Legislature to manage
its local affairs. The Imperial Parlia-
ment, he thought, would supplant the
House OF Commons OF majority OF l2O
Gladstonians.
Mr.. Parnell, by his attitude in the
House Of Commons yesterday afternoon,
giving notice that he should insist upon
resolution creating a special commit
tee to inquire into the charges made
against him by Attorney General We'd
ster and the Times, has satisfied all his
critics in the Liberal party. He cannot
hope to satisfy the Tories, who insist
that he must go TO the courts for salts
faction. Mr.. Parnell's offer TO have the
committee made up OF English and
Scotch members is similar to one offer
ed by him at the last session, when the
Times printed the first letter. The Gov
ernment then refused his protfer aud
will undoubtedly again refuse to accept
it when the resolution shall come up
next Thursday,
This refusal, in order TO be understood,
must be compared with the effect Of such
action in the Congress OF the United
States. There no member whose honor
has been assailed by newspaper chargas
has ever been refused personal inveSti-
CATION where the offended member pre-
fers such request. II is no answer to
say that Mr.. Parnell has remedy in the
English courts. The Times has already
spent from 1900 to 10000 pounds in
making the case. 1t would take at least
similar amount, and much time, to
contest case in the courts where, in the
present condition OF the English courts,
the Nationalists claim, no satisfaction
could be secured.
II the Government thought it had a
case against Parnell that would satisfy
the honorable members, 1t would have
seized upon the opportunity to have II
special Parliamentary inquiry. The
Governments refusal TO go to the only
possibly fair tribunal has completely
offset the impression created by the ac-
ton OF the Tines. That newspaper,
having spent so much money already
will not naturally let the matter resia
and the next stePin its attempt to break
down the power OF Parnell is awaited
with curious interest.

THE DEATH PENALTY
Inflicted Upon Edward Deacon For q
FiendIsh Murder.


ROCHESTER,, N. Y, July 10.-Edward
A. Deacon was hanged at forty minutes
past ten this morning. His neck was
broken by the fall.
Edward Alonzo Deacon was executed
for the murder of Mrs. Ada Stone, Of
East Rochester, on the evening OF Aug
ust 10, 1887. The husband OF the victim
upon returning home from work that
night found the dead body oil his wife
in the cellar with a -four sack drawn
tightly around her neck. Her head was
covered with wounds made by some
sharp instrument. The alarm was at
once given, but no trace OF the muir
derer could be found.
Late that night tramp was arrested
at Canadaigua, who gave the name OF
Sheldon. As all suspicious characters
were being arrested in hopes OF getting
the murderer, the Rochester police were
notified OF the arrest. Sheldon, or
Deacon, as it proved TO be, was taken to
Buffalo on September 8 and few days
later made full confession TO the
Chiefof Police and the District Attor-
ney. Notwithstanding his confession,
when placed on trial Deacon pleaded
not guilty, but after u trial lasting eight
daRs he was found guilty OF murder in
the first degree. The case was appealed,
but judgment was affirmed, and last
June he was sentenced to be executed
to-day.
Deacon has at no time shown any
signs Of fear or repentance. His crime
was committed because Mrs. Stone re-
fused to give him food. Deacon slept
none last night, but ate a hearty break.

PIrrsuuRGu, July t0.-hfidnight- Dis
patches from the headwaters Of the
Monongahela river tonight report heavy
damage from the sudden rise in the
river.
At Brownsville, Pa, the water is
rising at the rate OF a foot an hour, with
the marks at 8 o'clock showing 43 feet.
This is higher than at any time
during the great flood OF a few years
ago. Many families have been compell-
ed to leave their homes. At this
point the water is rising several
inches an hour, with 10 feet on the
marks. The current is unusually
swift and the greatest difficulty is be-
ing experienced by the river men in
preventing their craft from being car
ried oil. There is no apprehen'
sion OF flood here, however, as
the Allegheny river is not contributing
anything to prevent rise. 1t is prob
able that the highest point will bt
reached in the morning, and that it will
not exceed % feet, which is three tC
four feet below the danger line.
