LONDON AWAITS THE NEWS.

The Liberals Confident that Mr.. Parnell
Stands No Chance To-day.
LONDON, Dec. 22.-The most intense in
terest is felt in London as to the result
of to-day's election in Kilkenny. The
Liberals believe, from the dispatches re-
ceived to-day, that the priests have set
tied Parnell and that he stands no
chance.
On the other hand, betting men who
calculate to win are willing to back Par
nell at much lower odds than week ago,
but are not ready to bet even. While the
official result will not be known until to-
morrow, it is thought that tonight a fair
idea of the result can be obtained. The
polls will be open until 8o'clock to- night.
Timothy Harrington fastened on his
arrival at Queenstown to communicate
with Mr.. Parnell, and the latter is said to
be much encouraged by the information
which Mr.. Harrington has brought from
America. All day long the two parties
have been busy electioneering.

One of Inspector Byrnes' Detectives
Attacked With "a Cleaver.
New York. Dec. 22.-Detective John
Foley, attached to Inspector Byrnes'
squad, was struck down last night by a
blow from cleaver in the hands of an
Italian saloonkeeper named Antonio Bes-
selono
The detective was passing an italian
butcher shop when he heard the noise of
a fight inside and entered to quell the
disturbance. He had scarcely entered
the door when Besselono rushed at him
and buried cleaver in his skull.
Mortally wounded, Foley grappled with
his assailant. but the latter slipped away
and ran. Foley then staggered to the
street and fired his revolver.
The place was quickly surrounded by
policemen, and search was made for the
murderer. The friends of Besselono
fred revolvers at the police, wounding
one in the thigh, and the officers fred a
volley of pistol balls, which silenced the
Italians.
Besselono was finally found secreted
behind an ice-chest in his store and ar
rested. Foley was conscious long enough
to identify his assailant.

ANOTHER BAND DANCING.
The Indians at Fort BerthOld Have the
Messiah Craze.

BISMARCK, N. D., Dec. 22.-The Indi-
ans on the Fort Berthold Reservation,
unable any longer to stand aside and see
their brethren have all the fun to them
selves, have at last become affected with
the Messiah craze, and are indulging in
ghost dances with the same vim that
characterizes other demonstrations. The
Bertholds have been the most orderly
Indians on the American continent.
A private letter received to-day state 8
that some fears are entertained from
these hitherto peaceful Indians. They
are under the tutelage of several Siou x
from Standing Rock, who deserted dur
ing the annual visits of the Bertholds to
that agency a month ago. They are be-
ginning to act very strangely, and Agent
Murphy, desiring to be on the safe side,
has asked for troops. If any serious re-
suits should occur these Indians, who
are composed of the Gros Ventures,
Arickarees and Mandans, would notify
the white people on the reservation to
leave.
1t is said the Indians do not intend to
break away from the reservation, but
will attempt to hold it against intrusion
by the whites. They want the reserva-
ton all to themselves, with no white men
in their midst to molest them. There is
band of Mandan Indians under the
leadership of the celebrated chief, Crow.
Flies-High, located on the Little Mis-
souri,, which has never yet yielded obedi
ence to the Government.
The Mandans hold themselves alooi
from any intercourse and do not draw
subsistence from the Government. More
fear is felt from the last named Indians
than from those at the reservation, who
have SO long been the white mans
friends.

VOTING In KILKENNY
The Fate of ParneIl Will be
Decided To-Day.
THERE rs INTENSE EXCITEMENT.
Both Sides Working Hard and Only a
Few Rows Reported

Parnoll Confident of victOry-He Says IL
the Result Is UnfaVorable He Will Not
be Downhearted - London Is Anxious
About the Result-Liberals Predict Par
nelI's Defeat-The Polls Close at p. NJ.
KILKENNY, Dec. 22.-Up to noon to-day
only few rows were reported at the
polling places, but the excitement is in
tense and there il likely to be trouble at
any moment.
It is the first occasion upon which the
divided sections of the Irish party have
confronted each other, and each must
stand or fall by the result to-day. After
it is over it is likely that a material
change will take place in the relative size
of the contending parties. But although
the election in North Kilkenny involves
issues of paramount Importance to the
whole of Ireland, it has been impossible
to divest the canvass of a personal ele-
ment, and many of the 5000 voters in
the constituency are being influenced by
the personal character of the candidates.
The population of the division is about
Al 200, while the voters number nearly
5000. At the election of 1885, the first
held after the division of the county, the
late Mr.. e. P. Marum, the Parnellite can
didate, received 4,OS4 votes, to 174 cast
for Bellew, Conservative. The sentiment
of the constituency being almost unani-
mously in favor of home rule, Mr. Marum
was returned in 1886 without opposi-
ton.
Parnell expresses himself as confident
of victory tonight. Much apprehension
is felt of the effect that defeat might
have upon his followers.
Parnell said he had faith in Kilkenny's
decision, but if the result was unfavor-
able, he would not be down-hearted, but
would hold aloft the flag until every
constituency in Ireland had spoken.
Two hundred troops and over 500 con-
stabulary are scattered through the
place. A division of soldiers of the S5th
Infantry is commanded by Colonel Knot
and the police by Allan Cameron.
Davitt said to-day: eff we do not carry
this election will retire from Irish poll
tics forever, Tor will believe the Irish
people are liars. After de lucting 30 per
cent. from their promises our ma !ority is
1900"
The result of the election will not be
known before noon tomorrow.

She Killed Two Raccoons.

Pomilear, prominent resident of Emil
Vile, a small town about eight miles
from here, was attacked by large
raccoon, which sprang upon her and at
tempted to grab her by the throat. The
animal was forced off by the young
woman, who secured club and killed
it. Mrs. Pomilear then proceeded to the
barn, which is some distance from the
house, to feed some live stock, and when
returning from the barn was attacked by
another raccoon, which sprang at her,
but after hard fight she succeeded in
killing this one also.

force He took His Departure.
NAYS LANDING, N. j., Dec. %. -Isaac
Goldstein, who claims to be missionary
from Jerusalem, has disappeared from
here, and, it is stated, has taken con-
siderable money with him.
Goldstein came here from New York
about three months ago. He located in
a small settlement three miles from
Nays Landing, and at once began to hold
religious meetings, which were largely
attended, and Goldstein became very pop
ular. He had in his possession papers
signed by prominent divines throughout
the State. He called upon the Rev. s.
Y. Lum, of the Presbyterian Church, and
explained to him that he was in need of
money, and that his people were suffer-
ing badly for want of bread and clothes.
He borrowed $50 from Mr.. Lum, saying
that he wanted to purchase some cloth
ing for his Sunday school children, and
that he would refund the money in a few
days.
The supposed missionary secured many
other loans, amounting, it is stated, to
several hundred dollars, before he left
town.
