WHOM WILL AMERICA LOOK TO AS LEADER

st. Louis, April 6.-The correspondence between DR..
Thomas o'Reilly, OF this city. a member Of the ex
ecutive council and President Fitzgerald, Of the Irish
National party will possibly develop into sensational
controversy between the leading members of the League
in America The question at issue is whether the
League will still recognize Parnel leader Of the
Irish party in Parliament. "Parnelps cOnduct,' said
DR.. O'Reilly "has disqualified him leader Of the
Irish party. This is the general opinion throughout
America There are, however few who are inclined
to recognize ParIiell the leader. dispatch from
Lincoln, Neb, purportng to be from friend Of Mr..
Fitzgerald with his sanction, denies the charge
that made against him of being inclined to favor
Parnell and Of calling the council OF the National
League together for the purpose of having the League
support him. The charge is nevertheless true, as
papers in my possession will show"

A woRkMANs HORRIBLE DEATH.
Another Fatal Accident at Holmes,

Another Fatal Accident at Holmes,
 Booth and Haydens' Factory.
 A horrible accident, by which Charles Weiceluns' life was crushed out in an instant, occurred at Holmes, Booth & Haydens' factory at 9 o'clock this after noon.
 Weicelums had been employed at the shop since last June, working upon a wire pointing machine, and was regard ed as sober and industrious young man. This afternoon in shifting the belt upon the machine he neglected to use the belt shaft with which the machine was supplied, using his hand in stead. In an instant his arm was drawn around the powerful bully and before the machine could be stopped the victims head was crushed by the heavy hy-wheel.
 Everything possible was done for him and Dr Axtelle was summoned by tele- phone. When he arrived the man was dead.
 At this writing the body is still at the factory and Medical Examiner Axtelle is conducting an investigation. Weice- luns was a single man, about twenty five years of age, and lived with his sis ter on Summit street.

HEAVY DAMAGES FOR LIBEL.

Samuel H. Willard Secures Judgment
 Against Holmes, Booth & Haydens.
 Samuel H. Willard recovered verdict of $31 300 before Judge Brookstaver in the court of common pleas at New York, yestel day, against the corpora ton of Holmes, Booth & Haydens, of this city, for libel. Willard was with the corporation for twenty eight years, rising from the position of clerk to that of treasurer and general manager. In March 1887, he resigned, and Chester M. Wayland became his successor. Way land, on behalf of the corporation, began suit against Willard, charging him with having endorsed thelname of Holmes, Booth & Haydens to two notes, one for $4 ,000 and the other for $1O,000, in a matter not connected with the business of the corporation, and without author ity. The suits were dismissed by the courts, as it was shown that the directors had authorized the indorsement of the notes. The libel suit followed. It was for $50, ,0OO Pending the suit the cor poration had attached property belong ing to Willard.
 A DEMOCRAT reporter called, this morning, at the company office. Presi- dent Wayland is in New York and will not be home until this evening. George H. Benham, secretary of the company was seen. MT Benham did not care to say anything about the suit, except that he believed an appeal would be taken.

Questions For the State Board of
 Equalization to Decide.
 As counsel for the Adams Express company, Judge Harrison yesterday ap- peared before Comptroller Staub and Marvin H. Sanger, the latter acting as state treasurer, and asked that the com pany, if taxed at all, be taxed five per cent on the receipts of this year, which would amount to S7,939.37, instead of being taxed $10, ,000, the power to decide the question resting with the state board of equalization. The statement of the company contained this:
 "The Adams Express company has not made any charges or received any money on account of commerce within the state of Connecticut, and it is not engaged in commerce. Its only busi- ness is that of the transportation of goods, property and packages. The company protests that it is not of right liable to pay to the state any sums of money whatever under the provisions of the law. Even, however, if the com pany is liable to pay to the state any sums of money under the provisions of the law, it has, and it claims offset, be- cause at various periods within the last ten years, it has paid under protest to the state sundry sums of money which the state had no right to demand or col lect from the company"

Pathos and comedy run hand in hand. The heart is thrilled with noble sympathy, and ones whole being is wrought up to high pitch, when, like cooling breeze in the sum- mer sun, comes a shower of comedy that carries the audience away in the most happy and pleasant thoughts.

Of course it's disappointing, but just consider how cleverIy it's done, and, by the way, what Some of the great medicine firms pay their advertising agent as high as ten thousand dollars year, and a certain manufacturer of soap pays his advertiser twenty-five thousand.
