Milwaukee Irishmen Greatly Agitated by
the Informer's Statements.
MILWAUKEE, Feb. 9.-MilwaulSee Irishmen
made by Maj Beach before the Parnell com
mission regarding an alleged meeting with
President Sullivan of the National League
here, in May, 1883. J. G. Donnelly, register
of probate OF this county, who is state execu-
tive Of the League, was asked what is thought
of Beach's disclosures.
u think, said Mr.. Donnelly, ''that if the
rest Of his testimony be as reliable as that
wherein he mentions Milwaukee, he will
strangle himself in perjury before he finishes
hls tale. His alleged conversation with Alex
ander Sullivan in Milwaukee on the occa
sion Of the Egan-Sullivan meeting in 1883
is absolutely false, and many besides myself
can prove its falsity. On the evening of
the meeting referred to Mr.. Sullivan ar
rived here from Chicago ON the s p. m train.
He was met at the depot by committee, Of
which | was a member, and escorted first to
the Planlinton and then to the Academy.
was with him during the whole time and sat
by him on the platform through the meeting
After the meeting we returned with him to the
Piankinton, and despite our earnest efforts 10
prevail on him 70 stay over night, he left for
Chicago on the a. m. train. There was not
a moment of the time he was here that he was
not in the company of well known citizens
and the conversation which he had was Ger
tainly not Of violent OF revolutionary char
acter. Beach was not in his company nor, TO
my knowledge in Milwaukee at the timen
'sYou are certain Beach or Dr. lie Caron
could not have seen Sullivan here"
Positively, neither at that nor at any
other time Sullivan and Egan viii co-ope-
rate with any rational movement having for
its object Ireland's freedom, but You may be
sure that they win never be found in the

NEw NoRK. Feb D. about 5:.0 last cven-
ing Stesensonis brewery at Forfieth street
and Tenth avanse was shaken up, and nearly
every window for block in all directions, by
a terrific explosion. the shock OF which was
felt all over the city The fire department
and police reserves were called 20 the spot,
but it was only after long search taat'the
origin of the explosion was traced Itwas
found that a dynamite bomb or something Of
the kind had exploited in one of the coal
shutes Of the brewery, breaking througha
two foot stone will and demolishing the shut,
and the stone work all around IT, The build
ing itself was intRct, except the windows and
the only damage 20 the other buildings was in
broken glass. Theoecupants OF the tenements
surrounding the brewery were very much
frightened, and sevelul women suffered from
shock, but no one WIS seriously injured. Ne
fragment OF a bomb or anything 10 indicate
the nature Of the explosive could be found.
but a number Of pieces Of tin, which nobody
could account for, were picked up IN tene-
ment opposite the brewery. The shock upset
a stove and small fire resulted, which was
soon controlled by the tIemen The explosion
occurred just as the brewery was closing up,
and Mr.. Stevenson and his employees think
they had lucky escape There was boy
colt on Stevenson's ale for a long tirne, due q
allegations that non-uuion wages were being

HE IS BROUGHT TO BAY.
lie Caron's Evidence Broken on
Cross Examination.
SIR CHARLES TOO SHARP FOR HIM

He Utterly Fails to substantiate His Ale
cations of Conspiracy = An Object Of
scorn in London-His Statements RE-
futed by Parties Implicated.
LONDON, Feb. 9.-Sir Charles Russell's cross
examination Of Maj. lie Caron, alias Beach,
before the Panell commission was severe and
astute, and resulted a general uncovering and
shaking up of the witness previous statements.
He succeeded in getting admissions upsetting
leading features Of his evidence regarding
Parnell's visit to America.
Again and again was the witness compelled
to admit that the meetings held by PaInell
while in the United States were presided over
by governors, generals, judges, clergymen
and Others Of high standing In the commu-
nifty, and that they were attended by the best
classes-the commercial, professional, legal,
artistic and literary. lie Caron failed to
specify a single conspiracy meeting organized
as stated in his direct testimony.
The commission adjourned until Tuesday
next.
The most intense interest is being taken in
the testimony OF DR. Le Caron, .'the American
informer, +" before the ParneIl commission. The
newspapers, however, dare not comment upon
his examination because Of their fear Of be-
ing arraigned for contempt; but the pros and
cons of the position taken by the informer,
Oho is rapidly becoming an object of greater
detestation among Nationalist and loathing
among Tories than Carey ever was, are fully
debated in the clubs of both parties, where
nothing good Of him can be heard The Lib
erals are enthusiastic over the admission of
the infor1ner that he was in the pay and con-
fidence of both sides, aud claim that by his
own admission his testimony is good for
nothing.
Lord Mayor Sexton, Of Dublin, telegraphs
that lie Carrons statements concerning him
are absolutely untrue Mr. Sexton alleges
that he has never met lie Carron, and that
the witness connection Of his name with
that Of Brennan on the occasion of the lat
ter's departure for London is absolutely a
fabrication

I trusted in the smile her pure face wore: murmured the sweet gospel of her words And would have doubted of her love no more Than summer would have doubted Of it's birds Until aS blind beatitude increased, Truths dismal skeleton with subtle art Sitting beside me at soft passions feast, Showed me that rank, black infamy-heI
