that treatment, Timothy Healey writes
that Mande,ille died for the cause of Ireland
aud was killed by rigorous treatment i'll
prison.

mat on there was III regard 10 the death OF
Vaudeville, and whether the governmeu,
would take any measures to secure adequate
inquiry into the CAUSES of his death

A Chance for Reform.

Editor of the Rtnnebec JoprBai:
The city to a stranger, as one traverses it.
has many attractions and but few if any de-
fractions. Fine residences, smoothly shaven
laws, spouting fountains, fine houses, splen-
lid views from different points, which COM
pare as TO elegance and beauty, with any
pars of the world; but the numbering of the
-tree,s issuth ilsi che rot acquainted with
the city, would think that even the inhabi-
tants would not know when they had arrived
At their residence. For instance, take Chap
eI ST., No. opposite 9G, and on or near the
other end of the street 81 opposite i3. No
wonder well informed inhabitants Of the
place sometimes go astray. On Grove ST..
duplicate numbers are found and on several
other streets the same. Y.

Mills retorted by inqniring why the gentle
man had stood by Haveneyer and the
sugar trust and all other trusts, and even re-
fused in former Congresses TO accord consid-
Grafton TO measures affecting the revenue
and consequently trusts. The gentleman
would have an opportunity TO vote on trusts
before Congress adjourned and he expected
that every one of them would be found vot-
ing for trusts. Applause on the democratic
side
Reed made a sarcastic speech in which he
charged the democrats with changing the
features of the bill to suit favored manufac-
tnrers and for political ends. He said it
seemed from the whole debate that the bill
had been made up in the interest of favorire
