Cox Sentenced to Imprisonment.
DUBLIN, Feb. 1.-The Freemars Journal de-
mands that the government and the police use
the same vigilance to unearth the men who
murdered Farmer Fitzmaurace. near Tralee.
County Kerry, as they exert against priests and
members of Parliament who venture to make
speeches. If assassins are permitted to escape,
it says the fact will be established beyond yea
or nay that the unlimited powers of the govern
meut are used n OF f or the detection and punish
ment of crime but for the exaction of back
rents. The police know every man in Tralee,
and there will be nothing to excuse their failure
to arrest the murders.
The Express (Conservative) says that Fitz-
maurice had been denounced a land grabber
and that this charge furnished the motive for
his murder. The users of such language, 1t
says, ought to be indicted as accessories to the
crime. The murder is the direct and natural
result of the National Leagues teaching and
influence.
The trial Of Mr.. Cox, member of Parliament,
for making a speech at Kildysart, County Glare,
concluded to-day. Mr. Cox was convicted. and
sentenced to one months Imprisonment. 1t Is
stated that on the expiration of Mr.. Cox's SEM
tence he will be rearrested on charge of max

the people to join the National League and TO
meet secretly if they could not meet openly.
Mr. John Morley and the Marquis of Ripon

Wool is free and put in the front of the bill, and
the duties wooden and worsted manufactures
substantially reduced, and the present differ

that the reduction of the revenue from tbs

much higher proportionately than on the finer

will be reported reverses this entirely. and taxes
the finer fabrics higher in proportion to value
than the cheaper goods used by workincmen.

The Pope Makes Suggestion That Is Not
Likely to Meet Irish Approval.
Special to the indianapolis journal
LONDON, Feb. 1.-The intimation apparently
conveyed by the Pope in his speech to the Irish
pilgrims, whom he received oday, that it
would be possible to settle the Irish question
upon lines identical with those forming the
basis of the settlement of the Vatcan's differ
ences with Prussia. has caused great deal of
suppressed excitement and excited exhaustive
discussion in church circles in Rome, and will
doubtless excite an intense feeling of surprise
and dismay among the Irish priesthood and peo-
Pile when the speech is printed to-
morrow. It is known that Cardinal Man
ming. Archbishop Walsh and many other
English and Irish prelates deprecate any inter
ference on the part of the Vatican IN
Irish political matters and will exert themselves
to the exhaustion of every possibility to prevent
his Holiness from ordering the Irish clergy to
cease agitating the home rule cause or the
strength of Monsignor Persicos report. very
large majority of the Catholic clergy in Ireland
are natives of the country. though they are not
unanimous in support of homo rule. Almost
without exception. the IRISH priests who are op-
posed to home rule have been boycotted by
their parishioners, and this fact augurs
i'll for the success of any effort on the
part of the Vatican 10 compel the
priesthood to sink their patriotism in
devotion to the church and blind obedience to
the commands of its head. If the Pope at
tempts TO withdraw the clergy from the home
rule fight, the people will be almost certain to
exert q counter pressurs upon them that they
will not be able to withstand. though such
pressure would hardly be necessary in most
cases. since disregard of the Vatican's behest
would be the rule among the clergy rather than
the exception. This Is the situation which it is
believed Cardinal Manning and his colleagues
have presented to his Holiness, and it remains
to be seen whether not the wise counsel OF
the Irish hierarchy will prevail over the evident
desire of the Vatican to curry favor with the
English government at the expense Of the suf-
fering clergy and laity of Ireland.

A MINISTERIAL SENSATION.
Rev. J, P, Brushingham Arrested on War
rant Charging Illegal Paternity.

CHICAGO, Feb. 1.-For some time past rumor
of a very disaereeable character has been dis
turbing the minds of the congregation assem-
bling at Ada-street Methodist Episcopal Church
At leng tn the smouldering elements have burst
into scandal that has caused unprecedented ex-
citement among that portion of the religious COM
rnunity The alleged culprit is Rev. j. P.
Brushingham, pastor of the Ada-street Church,
for whose arrest a warrant was sworn out this
afternoon. by Miss Eva Parker, young lady OF
is, who has recently become mother. 1t is
asserted that about twelve months ago Miss
Parker, who worked for her livelihood in wall
paper house. attended certain revival
meetings which Were being conducted
by the clergyman in question, and
that the latter induced her to leave the Secone
Baptist Church, of which she had been for fivd
years a member. in order to join his church.
The girl having thus been placed. to
tent under the influence of her new pastor,
yielded to his advice, it is claimed, in another
matter and left her situation in order to dis
tribute tracts and other religious publications
the West Side. Shortly after commencing
this new work. it is further alleged Mr..
Brushingham desired Miss Parker to visit him
at his study, which she did. The story goes on
to tell that the reverend gentlemen then
locked the door. addressed her in amorous
terms, and finally succeeded in persuading
her to yield to his desires. On discovering her
self to be near the hour OF maternal solicitude,
it is stated that she applied to Mr.. Brushingham
for necessary assistance, and that he then
turned upon her with accusations of intent to
perpetrate black-mail The rumor assumed
complete form when it reported that in
despair at his heedlessness of her entreafes.
Miss Parker decided to prosecute her claims by
the aid of the law. Mr.. Brushingham's legal
adviser made the following statement a re-
porter in reference to the charges: 'tMr.
Brushingha never heard of this charge until
the day before the child was born. He imme-
diately called a meeting at his official board, at
which nearly every member present He

member present signed, expressing their belief
in his innocence and their determination

A Woman Who Left Her Husbands Property
to Her Sister-The Will To Be Contested.

NEW YORK, Feb. John P Mahoney yes:er-
day gave notice that he would contest the will
of his late wife, Anastia B. Mahoney. Mrs
Mahoney, it is said, led double life. Mrs. Ma
honey was sister of Congressman Peter Paul
Mahoney, and for thirty years a teacher and
principal in the public schools of this city. For
a quarter of century she appears to have lived
with her husband although supposed by nearly
all her friends ana acquainsauces TO be single.
Her family name was the same as her husbands
She was born in Brooklyn, and made her home
in this city. The will, which was offered for
probate shortly after her death at No. 230 East
Eighty-second street, Dec 4, 1887. bequeathed
her entire estate to her sister, Mrs Mary A
Pendergast whose husband and Congressman
Mahoney we're appointed joint executors. Tne
estate consists of two houses and lots In Eighty
sixth street. near Third avenue, worth about
$4,000. The notice of contest sets forth that
the document is not her last will; that at
the time it was known TO have been made Mrs.
Mshocey was hot of sounf mind, atu that the
paper is invalid and void on the ground that the
real estate divided simply held in trust for
her husband. 1t appears that the property was
left to John P Mahoney by his father. subject
to a lien to secure his mothers dover in it. At
