FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE.
OBRIEN EXPOSTULATES.
He Wants to Speak but a Magistrate
with Police Forcibly Prevents.

LorGHREA, April y.
O'Brien left the bishops residence at 2 p.
NJ, followed by four hundred people, and
wended his way 10 field outside the town
where platform was erected. He was met
by force of police and military which
barred the way.
O'Brien called the people to halt and ad-
dressed the magistrate as follows 81 wish

about English rule in Ireland, but no meet.
ing will be held if it has been resolved to
dsperse the people forcibly.'
The magistrate replied that he could not
allow the meeting to be held.
O'Brien then insisted upon his right to
hold meeting, saving that he would take
all the responsibility upon himself and asked
the magistrate that if force was used to use
it upon him and not upon the people. A
long colloquy between the two then en-
sued.
O'Brien insisted that his arrest would end
the meeting, and if any other action was
taken the responsibility would rest on the
police. The crowd then advanced to the
platform. The police then attacked them
and knocked down those who resisted. Only
OBrien and two clergymen were left on the
reporters stand. Stones now began to fly
and the police brought their batons into
requsition. At this critical moment Father
Meagher in a few well chosen words begged
the crowd to desist from violence, but his
efforts were only partially successful. The
police pressed upon the people and cleared
the field. Several civilians received scalp
wounds and at 4.30 O'Brien addressed the
meeting at Temperance Hall. A few cler-
gymen and about twenty leading Nation
alists were present. The police arrived af-
ter the meeting closed.

MAINE DISPATCHES.
MAINE RUM SELLERS
To Be Put In Very Tight Box

LEWISTON, April s.
Congressman Dingley, some time since,
filed with Internal Revenue Commis sioner
Miller affidavits showing that Collector
Pages list of liquor tax payers for Maine in
many cases omitted the name and number of
the street, and that in some cases the name
given in tax receipts was different from that
in which the taxpayer did his business. He
requested that steps be taken to compel Col
lector Page to obey the law in these and
other respects. Thereupon the commission
er sent a special agent to Portsmouth, n. H.,
some weeks ago, to ascertain the facts The
following correspondence
WAsHISGToS. ID. c., March 20. 1888
Mr.. Calvin Page. Collector, Portsmouth,
y. H.-Sir: In reply to your letter of the
9Th inst, you are instructed to give notice
through your deputies to all special taxpay-
ers in your district that hereafter their re-
turn of form | / must show where the partic-
ular place of business is situated for which
the tax is to be paid. If the place is in city
or town, the street and number of the house
should be stated in the return; if the house
has no number, then the street and the par
ticular part of the street where it is situated
should be stated, and where the place of bus
mess is outside of a city or town, so that
neither number nor street can be given, its
location should in some other way be partic-
ularized in the return. This specific de-
-ignation of his place of business by the
special taxpayer is indispensable to the pro-
per execution of the statute, secs. 3233, 5235
and 32il, Revised Statutes, and must be in
sisted upon by collectors, without regard to
the effect it may have in reducing internal
revenue receipts in districts where local laws
prohibiting the sale of alcoholic liquors pre-
vail, and the place designated should be
stated in the alphabetical list of special tax
payers, in accordance with the requirement
of sec. 3240. Revised Statutes. As to the
other point which you present, you are in
structed that, should Mr.. Smith made his re-
turn as doing business under the name and
style of William Jones, verifying this return
by oath or affirmation, as the statutes require
( secs. 3l73. Revised Statutes, amended and
3l7G), you may make out the special tax
stamp to William Jones. unless YOU have
good and sufhcient reasons for doubling the
correctness of his statements If you have
such reasons. you should, before issuing the
stamp. make inquiry into the facts. Re
spectfully yours. JosEPH ). MILLER,
Commissioner.

FERGUS FAELs, Mimi, April q.
Albert Dodge told his wife that they ought
to go heaven at once. She ran out of the
house and met a neighbor named Jenne.
Dodge coaxed them both to come in. He
then locked the doors, put down the curtains
and began talking religion.
Meantime word had been sent to the
police station and three policemen arrived.
They tried every ruse to induce Dodge to
open the door, but he refused, and as he had
the keys in his pocket, his wife and Jenne
were powerless. On his table was double
barrelled shot gun, loaded and cooked, with
cartridges and ammunition lying around, and
in his pocket revolver and knife. Mat
tiers remained in this shape until last night
when the police broke in window and en-
tered. Dodge ran into another room and
raised his revolver to kill his wife. She
grasped his wrist and turned it as he fired,
and the bullet entered his own brain. Dodge
had been brooding over religious matters for
some time.

claring that though perhaps defeated, they
had vindicated their principles, and asserting
their order is stronger today than ever.
