LONDON, Aug. 20.-Mr. Gladstone adj
dressing deputation of Liberals from
Burslem, who had presented him with
a vase, said the government had treat
ed Mr.. Parnell with gross inequality
when they refused to allow an inquiry
into the Times charges against him by
a select committee of the house of COM
mons. The charges against Mr.. Par
nell, he said, would, if proven, destroy
everything he valued-pOlitical power
and positiOn-but he was going to be
Gladstone declared that he would never
believe Mr.. Parnell guilty of personal
dishonor. The inquiry, he said, might
last for years, which would mean pecu-
MARY ruin for Mr.. Parnell.
Regarding the action brought in Edin-
burgh by Mr. Parnell against the Times
he said Mr.. Parnell would be certain to
get justice. If the letters were forged
he might get substantial damages, but
a special clause in the commission bill
indemnfied the Times if the charges
were not made good. That was speci-

unfairness of the government. The
treatment of political prisoners in Ire

was all very we'll to say that the gov

having a vote, and not using it against
this system, was responsible. He ap-
pealed to the electors not to depend
solely upon their united efforts, but to
devote their Individual energies to re-
store order in Ireland and give real
unity to the empire.

SUPERIOR, Wis.,, Aug. 2O.-A great
deal of excitement was created in Su-
perior last night by shooting affray.
which included jealous husband, his
wife and her defender. The particu-
lars of the affair are as follows: Some
weeks ago Mrs. Richard Collins
left her husband and made her home
with the family of James Myers. Yes
terday party, including the Myers
family and Mrs. Collins, went to pic
mic. Collins followed them, and upon
the grounds was constant
source of annoyance to his
wife, threatening to kill her If
she danced and making many other
threats. Upon returning home the
party was again followed by Collins.
He went into the house where the la
dies were seated, drew his revolver, land,
aiming it at the breast of his
wife, fired. Meyers, having appre-
hended trouble, anticipated this
movement and dashed the pistol down
ward, the bullet passing through Mrs.
Collins right leg and
NEARLY THROUGH THE LEFT.
Collins then fired upon Meyers, but
without effect. The two men grappled
and Meyers, freeing his right hand,
pressed his own revolver to Collins
head and fired, the bullet infiicting a
severe scalp wound. He then tried to
shoot again but the cartridge failed to
explode. In spite of his wound, Collins
still endeavored to shoot Meyers and
doubtless would have accomplished his
purpose but for the arrival of two men
who were attracted to the scene
by the shooting and succeeded
in overpowering Collins. Myers
gave himself up to the authorities and
was held to appear at the end of thirty
days in $1,000 bonds. The bullet was
extricated from Mrs. Collins legs. 1t
was found to be almost wrapped up in
the muslin which it carried with it in
passing through her garments.

GUIDE Rock, Neb., Aug. 2O.-Last
Friday night, during the progress of a
dance at Talbott's, character named
Billy Cole, while intoxicated, raised a
disturbance and was elected. AS the
crowd was coming out after the dance
Cole. who was in waiting near the door,
fired into them, shooting William Mont
gomery through the hip and Charles
Grant, clerk in the Guide Rock bank,
in the right side, above the stomach.
Cole was arrested and put in Jail. This
morning small mob of masked men
took him out and hung him from
a railroad bridge just east of
town. The immediate cause of
the lynchlng was an attempt byNCole's
lawyer to have him removed to Red
Cloud, the county seat, on writ of
habeas corpus. The jail at Red Cloud
is known to be very unsafe, as several
prisoners have recently escaped from it.
1t was the original intention to await
the result OF GraIs's injnries, who, al
though very low, may possibly recover.

JUDGE JONES.
His Sudden Death Causes Regret
in Minnesota

To Marshal Campbell, Collector Bier
mann, Mr. Doran and host of other
Minnesota Democrats the news of the
death of Judge r. A. Jones,of Washing
ton Territory, came with startling sud-
denness yesterday.
During long residence in Minnesota,
Judge Jones was one of the foremost
and leading Democrats of the state.
A man of great physique. over six feet
In height, a natural orator, and en-
dowed with a prOdigious memory, he
commanded attention and admiration
wherever he went.
1t was he who at Chicago in 1884 sec
onded the nomination of Cleveland, and
did it with such brilliancy as to COM
mand the plaudits of the entire conven-
ton. His presence always gave them
power; then his voice was sympathetic
and he had thorough mastery of the
powers of satire, ridicule and pathos.
-
In 1888, at the head of the Olmsted
county delegation, he led the move
ment in the Democratic state conven-
ton for the nomination of A. Biermann
for governor, and, when defeated, sue
ceeded by his oratory alone in prevent
ing the nomination of Biermann for
lieutenant governor.
He served in the state senate. and
was conspicuous there for his cham
piOnship of public measures.
After Cleveland's election he came
very near being the successor of the
late Judge Francis, of Dakota, but sub
seQuently was made justice of Wash
ington territory.
His Democracy was genuine, and po-
of those of his party, will miss his jOvi-
ality, ability and remarkable ability to
control political gatherings with a
marvellous voice.

HOLDS THE WHIP HAND.
Parnell Is Confident of Success IL
His Suit Against the Times.

LONDON, Aug. 2O.-Mr. Parnell is
thoroughly convinced that his Eden
burgh suit against the Times will result
most favorably, and in spite of the gen.
orally expressed opinion that the trial
will do him no good, attaches more
Importance to it than he does to the
inquiry of the commission. His friends
represent him as having said that he
feared no technical obstacles based on
points of jurisdiction, and furthermore
as having declared that he was in pos
session of sufficient proof of
the fraudulent character of the
letters, admissible according to
Scotch law, to compel the Times
to defend the action. The present de-
fense of the Times having assumed the
form of strong endeavor to prevent
the suit from coming into court, the
natural inference is that the paper
shrinks from confronting the evidence
it knows Mr.. Parnell is able to bring,
and lacks confidence in its ability to re-
fute the testimony.

WASTED BY FIRE.
Wadena's Water Supply Exhaust
ed Fighting Flames.

Special to the Globe.
WADENA, Minn., Aug. 20.-One of
the most disastrous conf1agrations in the
history of Wadena, visited this place
this morning about 2 o'clock, when
flames were discovered in the rear of a
vacant building on the west side of
Third street. The fire department res
ponded promptly and had the flames
pretty we'll under control when it was
discovered that the supply of water
was exhausted. An attempt was
then made to tear down buildings on
either side. but the flames advanced so
rapidly that the firemen were driven
from their posts. From here the build
ings to the north and south of Third for
a whole block were soon Seething
mass of fire, scarcely giving the Occu-
pants time to move out. Only two
buildings out of the entire block,
the Merchants hotel and small notion
store were saved. These would have
suffered like fate but sufficient water
was secured to keep the fire away.
Fourteen business blocks and score of
barns. and half a dozen dwelling houses
were destroyed. entailing loss of over
$4,000. The following is an itemized
statement of the loss and insurance:
w. Potter building and contents, S3, 900,
insured for $1,000; A. r. Wiswell. two

the Merchants hotel, a fine three
story building, would have been
destroyed. The fire is supposed to have
been caused by an incendiary, as the
building where it originated had been

THE NEW SECRETARY.
Robert Miller, Criticised by DEM
OcratS.

OcratS.
On the selection of a secretary for the
new Democratic state centrul commit
tee apparently hinges considerable for
the state ticket to Judge by the express
sions of many Democrats.
After the selection of the new COM
mittee, Mr.. Miller, the secretary of the
old committee and candidate for re-
election made the statement that Doran
was on top and would have majority
OF the new committee.
There were large number of Demo-
Gratis who took OffenSe at this assertion,
for they believed that the party was on
top and that Mr.. Miller had no business
to ally himself with any faction as he
had.
Their criticism has taken the form of
a serious objection to his reelection,
they claiming that it would be serious
blow to the unity of the party now so
we'll perfected.
Senator Bowen comments on this as
follows:
I'VE observe with some degree of sur
prise that the late secretary of the late
Democratic state committee is quoted in
daily paper as claiming that the ma
jority of the new state committee is
composed of DOran men, and on the
o1lChS III VI tlllo Ilc paper ttuuOuuCeS III
bold headlines over its report of the
convention, 'Doran Still on Top
1.-The late secretary is very indiscreet.
The motion tSelect the committee by
judicial districts was proposed as a
means of harmony and to allay the feel
ing so widely prevalent that the COM
mittee has been used as machine for
illigltimate purposes to further the in
terests of select few. Before the con-
vention had been adjourned an hour
Mr.. Miller makes the claim that, after
all, the committee is DOran commit
tee.
1--WE say that the gentleman is very
indiscreet. Does he invite a re-
cital of the details of his
'victory?' Does he desire to have
the salt rubbed into the smarting
wounds of those who are lying on the
field? We trust not.
There is nobody 'on top but the
Democratic party. We sincerely hope
that Mr.. Doran and all his friends are
with them shoulder to shoulder upon a
common level and in common unity
But the Doranesque idea of managing
the party is finally, utterly and etern,
ally dead, dead as mackerel.
'Neither Mr.. Doran nor any other
man has majority on that com
mittee. The committee is not going tt
be under the dictation of any man, anC
Mr.. Miller will find that out in a very
short time.''

he is not candidate for the position
