the coolies, who had finished digging the
grave-ny graye-passed the entrance
to the pandal; and one of them, with
more consideration than his class usually
show, threw a pannikinful of water on
the cuscus tathi,

TO DISRUPT HOME RULERS.
Balfour's willy Scheme Of the Catholic
University.

University
BIZ Gable to the United Press.
LONDON, Sept. is, 16s9.-The Liberal
newspapers in general are continuing to
treat the suggestion of a Catholic Uni
yersity, thrown out by Chief Secretary
Balfouf at the closing of the Parliament
airy session, in the most cautious n
possible. If Balfour had laid subtle plans
to disrupt the Home Rulers, as many be
lieve was his motive in introducing the
subject in Parliament, he could not have
chosen a more effective firebrard with
which to destroy his enemies. Il the Gov
eminent persist in the plan of introducing
the bill. as they undoubtedly will at the
next session, it is likely to divide the
Home Rulers into three hopelessly an
~tagonistic parties. The Irish members
who follow MI. Parnell will make teams
practically with the Government that has
prosecuted and imprisoned them and will
vote with their quondam enemies for the
bill. Mr.. Parnell's ready acceptance OF
the suggestion betokens this, il it does
not show actual collision with the
government,
Besides, when one remembers Mr.. Par
nell's attitude in reference to the Irish
appropriation bills passed last session,
when the Irish leader admitted that he
would accept any money for Ireland that
the Imperial Parliament would give, and
not thank England for it, either. 1t can
not be doubted how he will receive the
new proposition.
The Irish members who will not follow
Mr.. Parnell's lead and who are already
denouncing the project will form a second
division, and the Gladstonian Home
Rulers, who are Disguised with the ae-
eeptance by the Irish of another of Bal
four's laws, and who will in consequence
forsake everything Irish, will form the
third party. Mr.. Gladstone as yet gives no
opinion in the matter, but on the other
hand, Michael Davitt, who has a large
following in Ireland, leaves no doubt as
to his position, His singing letter utters
a powerful protest and rebuke to the
Irish members at Westminster who
would make terms with the hated Bal
four, and shows the need of an Irish par
lament, He maintains that the question
of a Catholic University is essentially one
for a Home Rule parliament, and bitterly
denounces what he intimates is a deal
The subject furnishes a fruitful source
of controversy during the recess, and
however gingerly the newspapers touch
upon it, they find it necessary to say
something, The matter is bound to be
thoroughly aired before the next session
begins, and the lines which each separate
clique will pursue are becoming more
6efSnita daily.

BRAVE FATHER M'FADDEN.
The Central League Branch Raising
Money for His Defence.

The Central League Branch Raising
Money for His Defence.
The Central Branch, Irish National
League, met in st. Johns Hall yesterday
AFTERNOON, The president, Mr., Z. 7, Nc
Lapge in the chair,
Several subscriptions were handed In
for memb ership. The fund for the de-
fence of Father McFadden was increased
by the following subscriptions
The Rev. Father Quinn, pastor of st.
Paul of the Cross Church, $40; James
Carroll, IS; James J, Conway, 81; John
Nolan, 81; Mathew Farley, s.; William
T. Kern, $li Patrick Ryan, 81; Samuel
Maggie, ST.; John Meagher, 81; James
Flynn, Sit Daniel MCCARTHY, 81; Michael
Kelly. 81.
So that the public may know the fund
is being raised, and its object, the secre-
tary was instructed to draft a statement
to be given to the press.
Father McFaddeu is known to all Irish
Nationalist as the patriotic priest of
Gweedore, County Donegal
This district is one of the poorest in
Ireland, and were it not for the eXertionS
of Father MeEadden, who has supplied
the people with food and seed potatoes for
years, it is believed that many of the in
habitants would have died of starvation.
LAOOoO " CAA oSO Wiz 0NStA
mined to evict the people who were I'M
able to pay the rent, he demanded for
land which was unable to produce enough
to keep body and soul together.
Because Father McFadden stood by his
people he was arrested under Mr.. Bal
tours Coercion act and given the farce of
a trial before two of Mr.. Balfour's paid
magistrates and sentenced to six months
IN prison. /,
After his release he again denounced
the t%yrannical system of landlord rule,
For this offence the government again
determined to arrest him.
Instead of making the arrest at his
home on q week day, as they might have
done at any time, they sent a force of
police to the church on Sunday, where he
was celebrating mass, surrounded the
church, and when priest and people were
about returning to their homes, Inspector
Martin, with his sword drawn, grabbed
the priest by, the collar OF his vestment
and attempted to drag him off to prison.
The people seeing the pastor and friend
whom they loved thus roughly handled,
and fearing for his life, rushed to his res
cue. In the melee, Inspector Marin was
struck on the head and killed, Some of
the police who were present swore
that the priest addressed the
people in Irish and English
and advised them not to resist but go
peacefully to their homes. NetWfthstand-
ing these facts Father McFadden was
dragged to prison, and upon a Parlia-
mentary examination was held on the
charge of murder.
The government, finding they had no
evidence to sustain the charge, changed
it to one of conspiracy. 1t is on this
charge that this faithful Irish priest is to
be tried next month, and it is for the pur-
pose of defending him that the Father
McFadden Fund is being raised. Persons
wishing to subscribe to the fund may for
ward their subscriptions to George
Brown or to N. B. Holmes, No, 195 Mont
gomery street.

Assemhlxman scuader ont.

A peculiar political thing happens In
the First Assembly district of Mercer by
the change made last winter. Uriel
Seudder, of Ewing, represented the First
district in the Assembly last winter, but
owing to the change in the lines of the
districts he now resides in the Second dis
trict. 1t has been the unwritten custom
for years to elect q member for two sue
eessive years at least from the First dis
trict, but this leaves Mr.. Scudder with
out a chance to be returned. The Repub-
lican candidate in the new First district
most prominently spoken of is John b.
Yard, of Washington township. The dis
trict has an overwhelming Republican
majority, as it now c~onrists of the First
and Tenth wards and a Republican pre-
cinet of the Ninth, besides the townships,
minus Ewing. There will, no doubt, be
an effort made by the city delegates to
have the nominations made from the
First ward, but the county politicians say
this will not be.
Colonel Chambers will, no doubt, be re-
nominated by the Republicans of the Sec
ond district, and there is some talk of
nominating DR.. Leavitt in the Third.
The Thief Locked Up With the Store.
What might be called a mysterious rob
berry happened either late on Saturday
night or early Sunday morning, at No.
3s Ferry street, Newark. Hymes Bro
theirs, the retail dry goods dealers, are
the victims of the theft to the extent of
about $3.50.
When one of the firm entered the store
yesterday he discovered that the rear door
of the store facing on MoWhorter street
had been forced, evidently with an iron
bar, aud a quantity of underclothing,
cheap jewelry, and several pairs Of pants
missing. The police were notified, and
after going over the premises came to the
conclusion that the thief had been secreted
in the store and robbed the place while
the officers on the post were being
changed. The supposition is that the
thief made his entrance and escaped
thropgh the rear door, but as the door
has three heavy bars on it, only one Of
which was disturbed, and as there is an
additional door used for storm purposes,
which was fastened with locks and
staples, tho front door being exactly as it
was left on Saturday night, the robbery
has q very curious aspect.
