LONDON, Msy 30.-At the meeting OF the
Parnell Commission to-day the first witness
was Arthur O'Connor, member OF Parlia-
meAt. He testified that while be was Ia In
dIanapolis last year General Harrison. now
President OF the United States, said that
every honest man and lover OF liberty would
rather share the company OF William VBrien
in Tullamore JAIL than that Of the Viceroy In
Dublin castle. O'Connor said that when he
took Office In the league he found many OF
the books iragmentsry aud IN arrears. 1t
was impossible to do anything with them.
He did not know whether the books which
the Government seized during the adminls-
tration Of Chei-Secretsry Forster had been
DESTROYED.
Presiding-Judge Hammer ordered that in.
quiries be made about these books.
Mr.. O'Connor repelled as calumny the
suggestion that the tenants had undei stood
his advice TO them 10 boycott the lsnd-grab-
bers as a hint 10 murder or use violence
upon them. He admitted saving that 1t was
not unnstural that msu who saw bis family
flung into The roadside should shoot the
eyictor.
Justin Mccarthy, N. p, was the next wit
ness. He testified 10 the horror and diemay
which the Ph@nix-Park murders had caused
among the Psrnellites.

amlned with reference 70 the missing books.

except those Of the English branch OF the
league. which were produced In court. He
had not applied for the return OF the can
ceiled checks or the bank pass.books.

COUSIN OF President Harrison, Is a handsome
Young man twenty eight years Of age, son OF
Mr.. Ran. HARRISON, OF the United States

good position on the United States Fish
Commissioners steamer Albatross. A
few weeks ago his friend John
Meares introduced young Harrison 10
Mrs. Jennie V. b David, musie-teacher, re-
siding at No. 1923 California street, and sis
ter TO Mrs. Nellie de Garcia, who haured
conspicuousy In tho trials OF the black

OF criminal libel the other day. Mrs. David
is rather handsome aud attractive young
woman Of twenty-seyen, and young Harri-
son had not called on her many times before
he fell desperately in love with the lady. and
declared his passion. lie was promptly ac-
cepted, and It was decided that they should

declined. but urged Harrison not to take the
contemplated step, giving Whist he consider
ed good reasons why Harrison should not
marry Mrs. David. Full preparations, how
ever, were made for the ceremony. The
bride arrayed herself 10 her wedding cos
tune and waited for the appearance OF the
groom, but he did not come, nor was there
any expsnatlon Of bis conduct, This led
Mrs. David to believe that her lover
had been the victim OF foul play
but after an Investigation which re-
yealed the fact that the steamer Albstross
bad sailed for the North on the morning fol.
lowing the day set for the wedding, she
concluded that Hsrison's friends aud her
enemies had taken possession OF the young
man and prevented MIN from taking part IN
the marriage ceremony. The young widow
is very much exeited over the affair, and de-
clares that her intended husband was shang-
hailed on board thu ship aud kept there until
she sailed. Mrs. David bases this assertion
en- the fact that the marrsge.certifics,e was

Arrest.

by telegraph to tho Dispatch.l
GALVESTON, Tex, May Considerable
excitement was Occasioned here yesterday
by the arrest OF Judge Henry Weyer, justice
Of the peace Of Galveston county, and Mr..
W. 4. Allen aud Charles Juneman, we'll
known citizens living several miles down
the island, on an indictment found by the
grand Jury charging them With the murder
Of Richard Feisching in this county on the
10Th Of August, 1884, The indictment also
included Fred. Koehler, late constable in
Justice Weyer's precinct, but at present abb
sent from the city, and CID Porter,
who left Galveston very suddenly and mys-
teriousy soon after the lynching OF young
Fleisching. JunemaA Is engaged in the
dairy business. Allen has been recently
employed in the Farmers Alliance EX-
change. Koeher was constable OF the Third
precinct. Weyer, Allen, and Koehler are
oil prominent members OF the Galveston
County Alliance.
As soon as the indictment was found the
officer left Galveston for Kentucky TO srrest
Porter, taking the necessary requisition pa
pers from Governor Ross 10 make an arrest
in another State. He also got similar requi-
sl;ion from the Governor Of Kentucky.
Porter Was found at Latonia, Ky.. where. AS
owner OF the Creole stables, be was engaged
in the races now in progress at that place.
The crime with which these men are charged
is for the lynching VI young German,
Richard Fleisching, in this county In Au-
gust, 1884, for assault made upon the wife OF
JunemAn, The present indictment was
found upon the disclosure OF new evidence
namely, the affidavit made by Henry Rein
roth. who sfirms that about month after
the lynching OF Fleischlng be secreted him
self under the house and listened TO con-
versation between the persons now under
arrest, the substance OF which was practl-
cally a confession on the part Of Weyer,
Juneman, Allen, and KoehIer TO having COM
United the murder.
The recent grand Jury ordered the body
OF Flesiching 20 be exhumed, which was
done Nav 21st under the auspices OF Justice
Spann and County Physician Burk. AS
soon as the Indictment was found, Officer
Jordan took the train for Kentucky in
search Of the fugitive Porter Nothing was
found in Fleisehing's coffin but lot OF dry
bones. One peculiar Circumstance was that
the thigh bones OF leg were found at The
lower end of the coffin where the knee bone
should have been, and the kuee-bones were
up toward the thigh.
This Encouragement could not have re-
suited from natural causes, aud 1t leads to
the conclusion that the bones must have
been tempered with, but for what purpose
II is not known, unless II is to recover the
piece Of wire that may have been left in the
BODY after II was used for liberation. a
badly.de composed rope that had been left
around the neck Of Fleisching was slso
found In the coffin.
