quarters adjoining Kelly's stables on

Long received several cuts on the hand.
Upon his complaint Officer Thomas ar
rested Nicola Dadona. In court this
morning an unsuccessful attempt was
made through an interpreter to get at
the facts in the case. All that could be
learned was that the boy, Long, was cut
with his own knife. Some one suggest
ed that the easiest way out of the diff

course Peter demurred, and Judge
Bradstreet suspended sentence.

breach of the peace committed upon his
wife, November %. The couple have
not lived together for some time and

Salvation For Ireland

Salvation For ireland.
LONDON, Dec 8.-Mr Gladstone said
to-day upon the events of Saturday
ireland has no doubt gained great ad-
vantage in the fight for home rule.
The deposition of Parnell was
the salvation of Ireland. No
donbt home rule has received a
serious blow from the effects of which it
will take time to recover. The present
tactics of Parneil will undoubtedly pre-
vent an early triumph of the home rule
party, but in time the affair will be for.
gotten. 1 will regard it as a great
privilege when I am able to treat with
the new leaders of the Irish
party. When that time arrives we will
Formulate new ideas. There will be no
radical change from the policy of Mr.
Parnell, although there are many points
upon which we could not agree, which
1 believe if put into effect will be for the
best interests of Ireland"

ker could not stand the guying of his
friends who pointed to the dead horse as
a good sign Tor an undertaker's establish
ment. So he had the dead animal dragged
around TO the front Of the new Police
Headquarter building
The police department had just taken
possession OF its new temple. and the nm

lation of the city ordinance and Hope was
