The ParnaI Commission.

LONDON. May 3.-Mr. Parnell on the
stand to-day denied that he knew
mo. One" either under the name of
lyman or any other name, and said
that he had never heard of Mr.. Egan' s
being associated with 1.-The Martyr
FUND.- for the benefit of the families of
the Phoenix Park murderers. He saw
nothing criminal in the fund, and
rather thought it was right to assist
the innocent victims. The Martyrs
Fund" might not. however, have been
the most appropriate name for such
fund. He could recollect denouncing
outrages between 1878 and 1881. He
believed the outrages perpetrated to
have been the work of small secret
societies.
The attorney general asked if vast
majority of the people had belonged
to the league there wouldn't have
been ample evidence obtained to con-
Wet the perpetrators of the outTages.
But he parried the question saying
that that might or might not have been
| the case.
Here occurred the most remarkable
incident in the witness cross examina-
ton.
ATTORNEY General Webster quoted
| statement made by PaTnell in the
house of commons during the debate
on Mr.. Forster's bill in 1881 suspend
| ing the writ of habeas corpus to the
| effect that secret societies had then
ceased to exist in Ireland.
Did you believe that when you said
it?'' Asked the attorney general.
No" replied Mr.. Parnel. lat any
rate it was grossly exaggerated state
ment."
There was buzz of surprise through
out the court room at this response.

The attorney general-''You deliber-

to be untrue?"
Mr.. Parnell-Yes, or if not untrue

The Attorney General - And yOJ
have never since withdrawn 1t?
Mr.. Parnell-No. have not.
The nonchaiance with which the wit
ness made these admissions astonisheC
the audience.

WASHINGTON, D. c., May 4.-Ex-
periments in growing and manufactur-
ing sorghum will be continued this
year under the auspices of the agri-
cultural department. Professor Wiley,
chemist, has this week laid out the
work for a field on the Maryland ex-
perimeptal farm, eight miles northeast
OF Washington, the labor on which
will be performed by employees of the
Maryland agricultural college upon the
grounds of which the station is
located. On one plat are planted forty
varieties of seed, the ground being en-
riched by nineteen different kinds of
fertilizers. In the field are two strips
where no fertilizer is used, the inten-
ton being to determine the best kind
of seed and the best fertilizer.
A second plat is planted with foui
kinds of seed which showed the best
results in the experiments already
made, and they, too, will be treated by
the various fertilizers manufactured
An exact duplicate of these expert
ments will be made at Sterling, Kansas
the seeds having been divided for tina
purpose. Portions of the experiment
will be repeated at Rio Grande. New
Jersey, Kenner. Louisiana, Cedar Rap
ids, Iowa. and at several points j
Kansas. Prof. Wiley will leave her
for Kansas Sunday night to select thei
experimental stations and supervise tn
preliminary part of the work.

BrutallH Assaulted.

ST. Louis, May A dispatch from
Ocsla Florida, gives an account of the
doings of a negro, somewhat after
the style of Jack the Ripper" of Lon
don. On April 80, two miles from
Ocala Eta Burly, colored girl 20
years old, while working in corn field
was brutality assaulted by negro
tramp unknown in the nelghborhood.
He told the girl he had watched her for
three days with murderous intent. He
attacked her with knife, cutting
her clothes nearly all off but
inflicted no serious wounds. The
girl s scream brought aid and the negro
fed to a swamp near by and could not
be found. Since this occurrence two
other girls have been attacked in a SIM
liar manner and the man escaped each
time. On Saturday evening last Eta
Burly was again assaulted by the same
negro, near her home. After knock
ing the girl down he attempted to dis
ENDOWED her with knife, and Slashed
her across the breast, but owing to
her violent struggles the cuts were
only slight. The girls father and
brother ran to her aid and the latter
fired a gun at the would-be murderer.
| but without effect. AS the brute ran
away he said he had to kill the girl
some how. The negroes of the whole
section are up in arms and are scour-
| ing the woods in every direction. and
| should the fiend be caught he will be
| lvnched at once. 1t was reported last
| night that a cOlored girl had been found
! dead in the woods and her body slashed
| in horrible manner.

81. NJ. SESSION.

When the convention came together
in the afternoon, it was evident that a
surprise was in readiness
for all. When the secretary
began to call the roll. Shawnee being
the first county. the chairman of her
delegation cast her 10 votes for Metsker
as usual. Usage, Finch's county, was
then called and her chairman rose and
announced her IL votes for Kelly.
This was the long wished for break at
last. and everybody shouted and
clieered. Waubaunsee next cast her 3
votes for Kelly. Morris still stuck to
Miller, but Lyon cast votes for Kelly
and l for Miller. After that every
county as called voted for Kelly, whose
election was made unanimous, amid
deafening cheers.
Mr.. Kelly was sent for, and soon
appeared before the convention and
made very neat little speech, in
which he returned warm thanks for
the honor conferred.

IL A. NJ. SESSION.

at IL a. M. the convention was again
called to order, and balloting was once
more resumed, but with the same old
result, none of the delegates changing
their votes.
Four ballots were taken. when Judge
Buck moved to adjourn to O'Clock
this afternoon, which motion prevailed
and the delegates once more dispersed.
At this time there seems to be no
show of arriving at any compromise, as
the adherents of none of the candI-
dates seemed to be willing to make any
advances looking to that end, each evil
IDENTIFY hoping co tire the other out.
Nevertheless, the fight seemed to be
narrowing down to a conflict between
Kelly and some unknown candidate
from Shawnee county las it was thought
that Metsker could not hold his OWL
county delegation solid in the event Of
there being any show to elect another
while Finch, it was claimed, hat
reached high tide.

Tha putH Of tha Counsntion.


The convention now in session in this
city will undoubtedly nominate can
didate whose record, politically and
otherwise, will bear the closest scru-
tiny. This much, at least, is due to
the republican party. We have no
doubt but that the convention will
keep constantly in mind the import
ance of uniting upon man
whose nomination and election will
reflect back the honor which il
confers. The party has just
resumed control of the government
with pledges to the people which
should be guaranteed, as well in the
high character of its representatives
as in the declarations of its platforms
The Fourth district, by its action in
this convention, will in no sense lower
the standard or present a nominee
with record vulnerable to the shafts
of the opposition. There is plenty Of
good material to choose from and by
the exercise OF little care no mistake
in this respect, need be made.
FRIDAY EVENINGS SESSION.
The convention met at 7:3O and the
round of ballotting begun once more
Mr.. McLain was relieved as secretary
and u. w. Wheeler chosen instead. Al
the 16sth ballot Woodson county gave
one vote to Kelly, one to Hoch and ont
to Finch. On the next ballot WoodsoI
resumed her old position, two for Kelly
and one for Finch.
On the Hist ballot, Butler county
which had hirtherto stuck faithfully tt
]. X. Cubbison, cast three votes for A
B. Campbell; dark horse. On tn,
next ballot the wanderers returned t.
Cubbison. On the 179th ballot, Wood
son cast two votes for Miller and on
for Kelly, and on the next ballot re
covered them again for Kelly. From
this on to the 200th ballot no chang
occurred. There being no show for
nomination, the convention adjourne
to o O'Clock this morning.

bill is recommended by Capt. Castle.
Who is Capt. Castle? A man who for
the last twenty years has been sucking
the public tit until he is so full he can
not hold more. but because the present
governor would not reappoint him to
the Office of Oil inspector he now de-
sires to prevent any other man from
holding the office.

have seen fit to roast me because of my
inspection bill. Now there is nothing [

cheap. They don't cost me anything.
Why a seven-up newspaper (the Gale

inspection reform business. And why?
Simply because an enemy of the st.

appointed to this Office. These Demo
Gratis are great in bowling reform when
out of office, but not when in. move
that my bill be substituted for the
Haven bill and that the committee
recommend il TO pass when it-riSes.
BAD CAUSE.
Representative Haven-Mr. Lane has
made mighty good fight in mighty
bad cause. Capt.-Castle knew nothing
of this bill until it was presented to
him for information. | am glad that
Mr.. Lane has told that the country
newspapers roasted him, for it reveals
what l have claimed, that public senti-
ment is behind this reform. The great
objection TO the Lane bill is that it dis
turbS an inspection law which is all
right. and which. hee admits to be all
right, and covers up enormous fees for
the beneftof the oil inspector.
Representative Ives-I am opposed to
the Haven and senate bill from princi
pie. The object of the oil inspection
law, as it now is. is not to provide
revenue for the state but to remedy all
evil. 1t is to secure sure and safe in
spection Of oil. There must exist some
incentive for the inspector to work
from.
Representative Eastman.-I am in ac-
cord with any proposition to turn these
fees into the state treasury, but do not
think that Mr.. Haven has taken the
best way TO get at it.
Representative Sumner amended the
Lane bill so as to make certain inSpec-
ton fees 20 cents instead Of - cents
per barrel, and that one-quarter of the
fees collected should go to the state.
Representative Eastman amended to
make the barrel fee % cents, and one.
half of the fees collected to go to the
state. The committee then rose and
reported progress.
