IN the AMERICAN Of "Wednesday last
noticed an itcm concerning the Swopc-
G"odlor affair which recently occurred
here. | send you more extended account
to W used If IL may bc thought to be of
any interest to your readers.
As you intimatcd il all grew ont Of po-
lltcal differences Both men were Repub-
licans and political rivals, and rivals with
an intensity hardly understood by cooler
blooded northern folks public insult
from Col Goodloe to Col. Swope ranked
in the latter's mind till he returned it some
time later Then mutual friends interpos-
ed and settled the matter amicably as they
supposed. Last Friday week as Col Good
loe came down from his Office in the gov
eminent building, he was Collector of In
tcrnal Revenue into the vc,tibule Of the
post-ottice to get his mail he found Col
Swope in the act of getting his. Unfor-
tunately the box of one was directly over
mail Col Swope still remained at his box
talking with some one inside, when, after
waiting a few moments, Col Goodloe
asked him 70 stand aside saying that he
was obstructing the way. Swope replied
that he did not care if be was" and kept on
speaking, after which the two "glowered"
at each other when Swope drew a revolver
and Goodloc large clasp knife. Swope
fired and Goodoe holding up handful of
papers, turned the course of the bullet
downward through his abdomen, receiving
a mortal wound. He then made desperate
and murderous attack on Swope stabbing
and slashing him, following him up as he
retreated backward, until Swope fell dead
with thirteen wounds. He then turned
and called for help saying he was shot
through and through" Swope fired once
after GoodlOes attack but the bullet went
wild passing through one of the boxes,
narrowly missing an official inside. Good
loe fingered two days, dying at P. NJ.
Sunday.
The whole affair is intensely sad.
A daughter at school was waiting for her
father to accompany her home where the
remainder of the family waited for them
to join at the family meal. Col. Swope in
a few days was to go to the home of
brother who was awaiting visit from
him, and also was to be married to very
estimable lady who was so entirely pos
trated by the tidings as to be unable to
leave her room since. But perhaps the
saddest feature of all is the light in which
the matter is viewed by so large part of
the community here Although it created

LONDON, Jan 15.-The Parnen COM
mission resumed its situngs to-day. Sir
Charles Russell, counsel for the Parnell-
ties, applied for an order against the
Worcester Times for certain comments
made upon the commission. Presiding
Justice Hannah said he would decide
Sir Charles application later.
William o 'Brien appeared before the
commission under a citation. He stated
that he accepted the responsibility for
the article in United Ireland for which he
was summoned, but denied any disre-
spect to the court, and disclaimed inn
putting that the judges were not doing
their duty. The court reserved the mat
ter.
Mr.. 0 'Brien said he did not assume to
question their lordships rulings but urged
he was entitled to comment on the seam
dalous evidence that was being given be-
fore the commission. Continuing he
said: GIVE are more anxious to meet
the charges made against us. Month af-
ter month we are mourning frightful ex-
penses, and yet the Times has not touched
one allegation made in its columns, which
if proved will render all this
matter entirely superfluous. We do not
criticise the court but the conduct of the
Times. We desire to come to the point
This is the object of our Scotch action. -
Counsel for Mr.. Broderick, warden of
Marion college, Oxford, who was sum-
moned to appear before the commission
to-day for making speech in which he
compared Messrs. Davitt and Dillon to
the Whitechapel murderer, repudiated
the construction placed on the speech and
denied that Mr.. BrodeFick had intended
any contempt of court.
Justice Hannah said that after the
assurance of counsel it was unnecessary
for the court to take any further step in
the matter.
The taking of evidence was then re-
sumed and testimony was introduced re-
lative to evictions in Tipperary.

hoped to procure evidence relating to the

BERLIN, Jan. 15.-During debate in
the reichstag on the expenses of the Ger
man consulate at Zanzibar, Prince Bis
marck said he would not now refer to the
government 5 colonial policy but that he
would speak on the subject during the
debate on the East Africa bill which
would be submitted to the bundesrath
forthwith.
Herr Richter made speech in which he
criticised the investigations which had
beenmade by the government with view
tothe suppression of the slave trade in
Africa.
Prince Bismarck replied to Herr Rich
ter, and took occasion to denounce the
lack of patriotism displayed by the Liberal
press, which he said was seeking to en-
barrass the policy of the fatherland for
the benefit of foreigners.
BERLIN, Jan. 15.-Prince Bismarck
made nine short speeches to-day and the
fact is taken to indicate anxiety on his
part to avoid annoying England.
BERLIN, Jan, 15.-Since his return to
Berlin Prince Bismarck, who appears to
be nervous and excited, has been con-

terviews with the emperor and has re-
ceived Prince Solius Sopnenwald, who
recently arrived here and who was men

FREE SPEECH.
Chicago Anarchists Denied Injunction
Against the Police.
But the Court Addresses Himself to Desquisi
ton on the Policy of Political Interference
in Public Meetings.

CHICAGO, Ill. Jan. 15.-Judge Tuley
of the circuit court this morning rendered
his decision in the application of the an
archist arbeiter bund for an injunction to
restrain the police authorities from inter
fering with their meetings. The chan
cellor denied the prayer of the petition
esr.
Judge Tuley declined to grant the in
junction because he had the assurance of
the city officials that his decision as to the
right of the complainants to assemble
would be respected. His decision is
that they have right to assemble and
The police cannot in advance of a con-
templated meeting assume that it is
going to be illegal and make that as
sumption a pretext for its prohibition.
Therefore he considers the formal
issuance of an injunction at this time I'M
necessary. 81 find no reason to differ
with the master, - said the court; Gin
his finding that there was no right to
assume that the members of
this society were about TO
meet for an unlawful act.
Assemblies for the purpose of establish
ing cooperative or profit-sharing sys-
TEN 1nSL6dQ Oh the Wage system udu Deen
held in many countries, and under free
government there exists no law which
prohibits the assembling of people for the
establishment of such a system. Their
objects may be the oyerturning of exist
ing institut ons, but they have the right
to publicly meet and fully discuss their
projects. The right of free speech Is a
natural one, and can never be overturned
under a republican form of government.
The objects of the association of which
Spies ct al. belonged were vastly differ
ent from those of this particular society.
Counsel for the city had argued that the
supreme court had pronounced anarchy
as an evil and as criminal. That was
not SO. The supreme court denounced
some of the PRINCIPLES of anarchy, but it
had pronounced no edict of outlawry
against anarchy as body.
The court addressed himself to a dis
QUESTION on the law relating to the ques-.
ton whether the police had authority
under the law to prohibit meetings or
preventing crime. The court at much
length went on to show that the police
had no such general power under the law.
81 am astonished to find, - said the
court, Sin this age and in free country
that it should be sought to be held by ar
gument that upon an AFFIDAVIT setting
forth the mere belief that members of
society held reasonable principles it
should not be allowed TO hold meet
ing.
