CmcAGo, Oct. pa sensational Incl

vices OF G. S. squires, who was assistant
postmastcrat Chicago nineteen years,
after having worked his way up from
errand boy in the postal service. Mr..

chief clerkship and subsequently sas'
pended. His friends claim that he died
OF broken heart.
The funeral took place with high Ma
sonic llonors in Emmanuel Baptist
church, Que Of the most prominent con-
gregations in the city. The church was
crowded to overhowing. DIR. Lorimcr
pronounced the culogy, and his elo-

adding "Had this loved and loveable
man his Just deserts he would still be
actively among us, or We would have
been mourning for the dead Postmaster

agitation OF the audience that it was
with difficulty that the church could
be cleared.

THE HgPARNlLI-rlllIS INVESTIGATION
Opening OF the GasS YcssSrIay-To Meet
rour Dnys Each Week.


LONDON, Oct. 22.-,rhe Commission
appointed to investigate the charges
made by the Times against Irish mem-
bers of Parliament opened court Mt IL
o'clock this morning.
Sir Charles Russell, as leading counsel
for Mr.. Parnell, opened the proceedings
by applying for the release from Wex-
ford prison OF Mr.. Redmond. Justice
Harman, President of the Commission,
said the same course would he adopted
with Mr.. Redmond's and in the case OF
Mr.. John Dillon. His release must not
be construed to mean that he had been
granted immunity from imprisonment.
He would be set free only under strict
conditions. These would not allow Of
his taking any part III public life and
would compel him to hold himself strict
ly prisoner on parole. Sir Charles
Russell intimated that for the present he
would not insist upon hisapplication for
Mr.. Redmond's release. A discussion
then ensued upon the length OF time the
court should sit weekly. Counsel for
both sides concurred in proposal to
hold sessions upon four days OF each
week, but tho court decided to meet
every weekday except Saturday and
asked counsel to expedite the proceed
ings. Attorney General Webster opened
the case for the Times.
He promised to give the court the
fullest information in the Times power
regarding the source OF the evidence
against the Irish party which the TimCs
had published. He would not trent the
case as having anything TO do with tho
merits or denerits Of ho ne rule or Of
any supposed burning Irish question.
The inquiry was strictly into the specific
charges made in the O'Donnell action
against the Times, and he would be care
ill not to introduce questions beyond
their means. The Attorney General
then proceeded to review the Times al-
ticles on "Parnellism and Crime" going
over the ground. The court room was
well filed, but was not overcrowded.
Perfect order prevailed. The general
public was not admitted. Mr., Parnell
and numerous other Nationalist men,
bers Of Parliament were present.
When the court adjourned for theday
Attorney General Webster was appa-
rently only a small way advanced in the
presentation OF his case. The vagueness
and general character OF his statement
left an impression that the Times has no
absolute legal proof OF the truth OF its
charges. lie spoke in his worst form,
pressing along in a dreary, monotone,
without the least display Of rhetoric,
There was an utter absence OF points in
his statement, and his exposition OF the,
Times case was generally disconnect->
ed ono.

a camping outfit and pistol, started for
the mountains. She has, however, each
time been brought back by neighbors.
Saturday Mary started out again, first
going to her fathers barn, armed with
two pistols. She remained there sew

shot, scattering her pursuers. A parson
ventured into the barn, hoping to quiet
the young girl, bu! she thrust pistol
into his face and he retired. Mary soon
ran out OF the barn and made for the
river. The crowd started after her. At
length constable fired two shots over
her head, which startled her, and she
sprang into some bushes which stopped
