On Tuesday evening Of last week occur
red the death Of Geo. w. Whittle. Mr.
Whittle was II years old and for the last
few years had been sufferer from heart

There was an ice cream sale ON the school

was well received
Most people think the church is, or should
he, safe place this is evidently what a
certain young man thought few nights
since. As :. =. Fem was going by the
church he heard noise, and 10 make sure,
tried the door but found it locked Upon
trying to gain an entrance, IA window in
the back part of the church was raised and
man leaped to the ground and ran in the
direction of the river. Mr.. Fem gave
chase, but finding this to be of no use, re
turned to look about the church A horse
and wagon was found in the shed Mr..
Fenn's next move was to rouse one of the
neighbors to watch for the man, who, it
was concluded, would not go far aud leave
his team, while he went for sheriff. In
short time the man came back aud was
the sheriff who took care of him for the
night. He was taken to Bellows Falls the
next morning to be put in safe keeping for
few days. While there news came from
Rutland that a team had been stolen from
that place and no trace of the thief could
be found. Upon examination the man who
had been found in the Westminster church
was just the man Rutland people wished to
see. He is now in Windsor for term of
eight years, but as he has already served
one term of ten years, this will he quite
slight The team found in the church shed
is at l.. c. Richardson's, as no one has yet
put in Il claim for it. A pistol and butcher
knife found ON his person are in the hands
Of the sheriff.
The mission band will give an entertain
ment in the church Wednesday evening at
1:30, which will be followed by an ice
cream sale. The proceeds will be used for
new windows in the vestry of the Congre.

Parnell and Counsel Withdraw
From the Special Commission.

Mr. ParneIl's counsel have formally with
drawn from the inquiry before the special
commission in London. At the reasseInbling
of the Parnell commission to-day Sir Charles
Russell of the Parnellite counsel stated to
the judges that after full considera alton Mr.
Parnell had given himself and Mr. Asquith,
his associate, instructions to no longer repre-
sent him before the commission.
Presiding Justice Sir James Hammer re-
piled:
Mr.. Parnell will, of course remain sub
ject to the jurisdiction of this court"
This step was taken by Mr.. Parnell, under
advice of his associates, on account of the
manifest unfairneSs of the commission
towards his side in its refusal to allow his
counsel to examine the books of the Loyal
and Patriotic Union
Messrs Reid and Lockwood, Of the Parnell-
tie counsel next withdrew from the case fol
lowing the action of Sir Charles Russell and
Mr.. Asquith. mr Parneu then personally
addressed the judges and made application
for a speedy final settlement OF the case IS
far as he was concerned.
He asked that if there was any design to
further examine him, the Court would pro-
coed to do SO without delay. He complained
Of AttOrney-GeneralW ebSter's pOstp0nement
Of the inquiry for three months in order to
re-eXamine him in regard to certain checks
The Court, he declared, ought to appoint
day for his examination, if any was required,
or else it should discharge him from any
further attendance upon the commission.
Sir James Hanncn promised to try and
meet the convenience of Mr.. Parnell In this
matter, and said that he would recall him on
Thursday next.
After the Parnellite counsel had retired
from the court Sir James Hannen said that
the scope of the inquiry would not be
altered and that the persons hitherto repre-
sented by counsel could appear in their own
defense if they desired.

SCOTCH-IRISH IN AMERICA,

to Issue a History.

TO Issue q HISTORY.
The Executive Committee of the Scotch
irish Society of America met at the Glenham
Hotel in New York city. Robert Bonner
presided, and there were present Rev. DR..
S. Mcintosh, Of Philadelphia; Professor
George McLoskie, of Princeton; Colonel
T. T. Wright, of Nashville; Secretary
A. c.. Floyd and Treasurer Lucius
Frierson, Of Columbia, Tenn. The chief sub
ject of discussion was the publication of the
''Scotch-Irish in America" journal treat
ing historically Of the part taken by the men
of the North of Ireland in building up this
country, and DR.. Mcintosh and
Secretary Floyd were appointed to
compile and publish the work,
which will be furnished gratis to the mem
bers of the Society. The Committee also
considered where next years Congress
shall be held, and Philadelphia, New York,
Pittsburg and Nashville were mentioned,
but no decision was reached.
Colonel T, T. Wright, to whom the Society
owes its existence, says he was led to con-
ceive the idea by observing, both from his
tory and personal contact, the remarkable
number of influential men of Scotch-Irish
birth in this country. He said the first Declara-
ton of independence was drafted by men of
that lineage in Mecklenburg, n. c., while
Thomas Jefferson, who wrote the Philadel-
phia Declaration, was of the same stock, as
were Presidents Madison, jackson and Folk.
Sam Houston and ''Davy" Crockett were
also Scotch-Irish.
