William Howard, cow-puncher
 who is known along the Atlantic &
 Pacific road, has got himself into trouble by forging several checks. While at Flagstaff recently he ne gotiated the payment of d check on the First National bank of this city through the Arizona Central bank for $25. After receiving this money he took the train for the Needles and through Monaghan X Murphy secured $50, giving them a check on the First National bank here, signing his own name. He did not remain in the Needles long, but went on to San Bernardino, and there he forged the name of c. E. Boyce, a merchant at Williams, Arizona, to a First National bank check for $100, having 1t cashed at the First Nationll bank of San Bernardino, On the receipt of the latter check here, Cashier Flournoy telegraphed that Mir. Boyce's name had been forged and to have How ard arrested. In the meantime How ard had taken the train for San Francisco, and on Saturday last the First National bank here receiv- ed telegram from the Crocker- Woolworth National bank of San Francisco, asking fla check, drawn on William Garland and in favor of William Howard, for $50 would be paid. The wires were used again and the bank in San Francisco was informed that Howard was forger and was wanted at San Bernardino and to have him arrested. During the transmitting of the telegrams Howard called at the Pacific bank of San Francisco, on the opposite side of the street from Crocker- Woolworth's bank, and played the same game on them with success, raising Garland's check a hundred dollars This appears to be Towards last chance for getting money, as Cashier Flournoy this morning re- ceived notice from the First Nation al bank of San Bernardino, which stated that Howard had been arrest ed in San Francisco and that the sheriff would leave for the prisoner tonight.

LIGHT ON THE LAND LEAGUES.
O'Brien Continues His Testimony Before
the Parnen Commission.

LONDON, May 22d.--Wm. o. Brien continued his
testimony before the Parneli Commission to dav
The League, he said, was founded chiefly to op-
pose secret landlord combinations The landlords
formed a combination, having capital of q. :
100000. for the purpose of carrying out eyic-
tions by wholesale and replacing eyicted ten
ants with colonies of tenants from other coun-
tries. He had been member of the Committee
of the League since its organization and never
heard suggestion to encourage outrage. The
witness attended Convention in America in
1856. He had no connection with dynamiters
while there. The vast bulk of those who at
tended the Convention were men of the highest
standing. He drew distinction between Grim
inality and illegality. THE Irish," he SAID,
"have an earnest, healthy repulsion for Grim
inality as TO illegality, meaning irreverence for
the law as law lllegality is bred in us
Laughter.
In answer to further questions by the Attor-
ney-General, O'Brien said it was impossible to
say what was legal and what was illegal in
Ireland. The League certainly tended to lessen
outrages, but no League nor human power
could prevent crime III such q crisis as that of
1879. He never advised the people to assist the
GoveInm ent in the detection of crime, because
that would be accepting the responsibility that
the League was wholly repudiated. United
ireland never denounced secret societies The
League weaned nineteen-twentieths OF the peo
pie III Ireland from such societies.

DOWN TO A wATERY DEATH.
Eight People Drowned by Collision @
Ocean Steamers.

oCcAu SttdIeTbs
MONTREAL May 22d-The steamships CYNTHIA
and Polynesian collided this morning near Long
Point, few miles east. Eight lives are reported
lost.
The Cynthia was freighter, inward bound
from Glasgow. The Poiynesian was outward
bound with freight and passengers for Liver
pool. Immediately after the collision the Gym
thia sank in twelve fathoms. The survivors from
the Cynthia swan ashore. The Polynesian pro-
ceeded to Quebec in damaged condition.
The accident was the result OF misunder-
standing of signals for passing at dangerous
curve in the channel. Following is list OF the
crew of the Cynthia who lost their lives: Hugh
Irving, chief cook Alexander Nicholas
sailor; Andrew Vance, Charles McCracken
trimmeIs; James Ferron, boatswain; Jas Low
fireman; Charles Blackstrack, messenger boy
and David Young. a stowavay from Glasgow
The blame is laid at the door of the Polynesi
an and her officers are much blamed for not
stopping to render assistance.
The sailors of the Cynthia claim that the
Polynesian was right ahead, and that had she
stopped she could have saved the men who
wereidrowned. They also state that there were
fifteen men on shore who, although there were
boats near by, did not raise finger in an at
tempt to rescue the drowning sailors.
The pilot on the Cynthia says the Polynesisn
was not in her proper course, and to this cause
he ascribes the collision. The weather was per
fectly clear, and those on board the Cynthia
were surprised to see the course the Polynesian
was making. Instead OF coming straight down
the channel, she was crossing the course of the
Cynthia. When fifty feet away the Polynesian
blew her whistle to signal the Cynthia to take
the opposite side of the channel. The pilot ac-
cordingly put her about and endeavored to cross,
but seeing it could not be done, signaled to have
the engines reversed. 1t was vain effort, and
the next minute the vessels had met. After the
collision the Polynesian kept on her course. The
Captain of the Cynthia tried to run that vessel
ashore and save the cargo, but almost imme-
diately she capsiZed sideways, and all tried to
make their escape as best they could. One man
was crushed to.ieath at the time of the collision
and seven were drowned while attempting to
reach the shore, Mariners say it was impossi-
Bile for the Polynesian to render the Cynthia
any assistance With the sway on her caused
by her full speed going down stream, she could
stopped in a short distance she would have been
unable to turn about.

what extent. The matter was made a special

Kyrle Bellew and Mrs. James Brown Potter

NEW YORK, May 22d.-The American Ticket
Brokers Association began its annual Conven

He called attention to the fact that the great
railroad corporations for the past two months
had been endeavoring TO have the business OF
the members OF this association branded as Il
legitimate. These magnates, he said had by
every means in their power tried TO have laws
passed by different Legislatures declaring their
business Illegal, but they signally failed. Small
railroads, he said, principally depended On the
ticket-brokeis for their subsistence and that
was the reason why large railroads wished 10
destroy the business of brokers'
The report of the Executive Committee dealt
mainly with what was termed persecution, TO
which the members of the association was sub
ject during the past year.
1t says, IN part, 'Our occupation has been ma
igned, scandalized and misrepresented, charged
with conspiracy with crime. with fraud and
with all that was evil. But the public has been
our ally, and truth and honest dealing our only
weapons and we stand to-day victors upon a
