Bosros. March 1.-THE Globe says: DR..
Fox, the only member of the antl-Parnel-
lite party now here, after repeated confer
ences with prominent men, has deter
mined to address no meetings in further
ance of any anti-Parnell movement in this
country, and it is possible that on consult
tation with men who have been always

nellites on arrival may be induced to
adopt a similar course.

first land league formed in this country,
and who has led here in all movements to
raise money for the home rule cause, meets
Parnell's appeal with mot dollar" and
Parnell's allegations with "Go home and
get together"
NEW York, March 14.-Parnell's mani
festo was coldly received here. The Herald
and Tribune did not print it, and the Times
publishes but brief synopsis in an edi-
torial column. The Times says:
Parncli's tours in this country have appar-
emily not had the effect of fmpressing him very
deeply with the intelligence Of its inhabitants,
either American or Irish American. The ad-
dress assumes that the people who read it have
no knowledge OF current events with references
to them by the address itself
The World says:
ParneIls manifesto asks for money for polfti-
cal uses, but makes no mention of help for the
evicted tenants who bravely stood out for many
weary months In self sacrificing protest against
the martyrs Of the cause IN his quarrel with
the other leaders?

Of Murderer Russell.

PaIouse People Angry Over the Pardon
Of Murderer Russell.
CoLYAx, March IA. Especial - Ever
since the news was received here Of the
pardon of William Russell by Acting Gov
ernor Laughton, the most intense indigna-
tion has prevailed among our best citizens,
both toward the governor and the circula-
tors Of the petition. So clandestinely was
the work done that none but the signers
suspected that there was any movement
on foot looking to the release of the das-
tardly murderer of Daniel Comfy, of Farm
ington. There was serious talk of lynch
ing the criminal at the time, and his life
would now be in jeopardy should he ven-
ture to put in an appearance in the vicin-
ity Of Pennington. The expenditure of
some SO 900 by the young mans father,
who is a resident of Walla Walla, was all
that saved his neck, and the verdict Of
murder in the second degree, which was
obtained by the purchase of single juror,
was received with great disapprobation.
The crime was q cold blooded, premedi-
tated murder, and the prisoner richly de-
served hanging. Many prominent Repub-
licans declare their intention of boiling the
party if. such things are to be possible.
The pardon is considered an outrageous
one in the community, and perversion Of
justice alike inexcusable and perhdious.

NEW TRIAL FOR RED ROSE GANG.

Supreme Court Comes to the Aid Of
Murderers Of the Fredericksons.
OLYMPIA, March 14-FSpecial. 1.-The SUI
preme court today reversed the decision
of the lower court in the case of John Ed
wards and John B. Rose, convicted Of the
murder Of the Frederickson family at Oys-
terville. A new trial was ordered on the
ground Of numerous errors which the
court deems it not necessary to consider.
John Edwards and John b. Rose were
indicted jointly with George f. Rose and
James E. Gibbons for the murder of
the Fredericksons near South Bend
on January 50, 1880. In the testi-
mony of George Rose he related
q story of the shooting and told how
Gi bbons killed Mr.. Frederickson, and
Edwards killed Mrs. Frederickson by
shooting them at the instigation of John
B. Rose, who wanted TO gain possession
Of 160 acres of land claimed by the Freder-
icksons. George circulated story that
Fredericksons had been lost in squat,
but search was instituted. the bodies
found, and George accused Of the murder.
At times he admitted having committed
the crime himself, afterwards accused
Edwards and again charged the unknown
person.
The subject of all the prosecutions testi-
mony in the case was stated, but TO the
minds of the court, the case went To the
jury upon the testimony Of George Rose,
absolutely uncorroborated in any par
ticular, and to say that such witness
should not be distrusted would be to mock
at justice. The testimony of the other
witness, which is claimed to be corrobora-
tive was regarded as wholly immaterial.
The court sees no way to account for the
verdict of death. except that there was
prejudice and passion created ia the minds
rendering q verdict in accordance With the
evidence. In the case of John B. Rose the
court decides that the corroboratiye testi-
mony was even weaker than in Edwards
case, and their duty in granting new
trial 10 too clear for doubt.

engineering difficulties here and that the
ietties can be built very cheaply and
easily. There Is no doubt that the jetfies
would deepen the water over the bar very
materially, owing to the large amount Of
water which empties into the sea through
the harbor from the Chehaiis, Hump
tulips, Wishkah, Hoquiam, Wynoocha.
Eatsop, Johns, Elk and other rivers, which
would soon wash away the bar. Mr.. De
Courcy says that il there is eighteen or
nineteen feet of water on the bar now, ac-
cording to the report of Engineer Hober-
sham and of the officers of the Manxanita,
we have the finest harbor on the Coast
north of San Francisco. The jetties At the
mouth Of the Columbia, he says, deepened
the channel there some six or seven feet.
The same increase Of depth here would
three or four feet more than the Column
bia river and sufficient depth to foat any
vessel on the Coast.

FIRE IN SYRACUSE.
Property Valued at 4 Million
Dollars Destroyed.
THE WHOLE CITY THREATENED.
Details Of the Holocaust ct the Nash
Vile Asylum-Lunstics Scattered
Over the SURROUNDING Country.

SYRACUSE, n. Y, March 1l.-Syracuse
was visited by tremendous confagration
today. The first show Of FIRE was at $50
o'clock, and in less than half an hour the
new Hogan block was destroyed. While
the fro was spreading in all directions
Chief Reilly quickly saw the threatened
destruction was too great for his apparatus
to fight, and he wired to Utica, Rome and
Oswego to send relief, and he hard
~ done 30 when the danger was suddenly
doubled. Fire and smoke burst without
warning from the top of Roscoe's i've
story block in East Washington street,
four blocks away. A flying brand from
West Fayette street had caused this, and
before the already overworked firemen
could send relief the flames were beyond
control. The crowds of people in West
Fayette street were appalled, to see the fire
rapidly spreading in Roscoc's, and only q
single stream playing upon it.
At $50 o'clock fierce conflagration was
raging in the two upper floors of the Yates
block and was rapidly making its way
around the Montgomery street corner. The
building soon collapsed, and a man who
had been seen trying to save furniture I'M
doubtedly persisted. From the Vanderbilt
house and the old and new Montgomery
flats people rushed in all stages OF
dress. Bedding, furniture and
cooking utensils were hustled
out of the rooms, only to be entangled in
the meshes of the wires. Cartmen drove
through the crowds recklessly in order to
get goods from the buildings. About 8
o'clock an Oswego engine came by special
train, having made the run from Lamson's 5,
nineteen miles, in seventeen minutes.
Half an hour later, the Utica engine, with
a hose cart and company of firemen,
came, and began playing on the
Washington street fire. The flames,
urged on by gale, were checked
by the firemen, and two locomotive fire
engines from the Central shops were sen
to the Vanderbilt house corner, and they
saved the hotel.
At noon the fires were under control.
The aggregate of losses is estimated at
81, 600, 600, with the insurance at least two
thirds. The Journal opened an Office on
Warren street and printed their paper in
the Courier Office this afternoon.
Among the losses were: T. P. Hogan.

hotel, Van Renshlear brick block, Seneca

Company. The heaviest loss was on the
Montgomery fats, aggregating $500, 900,
while the tenants lose $4,000 more. The
Journal Company lost 1000.

beautifully engraved check, with all the
ear-marks of value, came to the National
Park bank today for collection from one Of
its regular correspondents in Seattle, and
did not remain in the city long before it
was marked fraud" in big black letters and
payment on it was refused by the Chase
National bank on whom it was drawn.
It is purported to be q check of Ford,
Boughton d Co., bankers, of Burton, o.,
for 1000, and was drawn payable to the
order of Charles Hunter. It was stamped
to No. $50, 72s, as if to show that this firm
was doing land Office business, and
punctured with the figures 81 900 to add to
its genuine appearance. It was Endorsed
by Charles Hunter and F. ]. Cleveland
and duly paid by the Seattle bank at which
presented.
The Park bank officers recognized an
old acquaintance in Mr.. Hunter, and think
that he is doing very successful business
in the West cashing checks of mythical
bank. 1t is only short time since a SINH
lar one came here from Texas, where it
had realized q similar sum. One
does not have to negotiate 81 600 check
very often to realize a very handsome
income. An average banker. when he is
bitten Dy these Sharpers says nothing and
pockets his losses, as he does not care to
have his customers know that he has been
played for a Sucker" But publicity is
the only weapon which is effective against
them, for it is the easiest thing in the
world for glib-tongued stranger to get a
hotel keeper or business man to identity
him at local bank.
There is no such firm in Burton. O., as
Ford, Boughton 81 Co., but with the very
similar name of Boughton, Ford Il Co., so
that actual forgery cannot be charged
against swindlers who use bogus check
1t is q neat trick. and apparently well
worked, for the fraud is not discovered
until the worthless paper reaches the
Chase National bank in this city.

AN adjourned inquest on the body of
Michael Davie, who died suddenly in the
house of William Devine on March s, was
held today. The medical testimony
showed that the half-empty flask from
which Davie had been given . drink by
Devine contained about fourteen grains of
strychnine, enough, the doctor said, to
kill six men. Devine is under arrest, and
will be held for trial. The case looks ugly
for him. especially as the evidence shows
he had declared some time ago that he
would make an end of Davie.

THE sUEyIA Is SAFE.
Her Own Engines Bring Her Into tho
Hafbor Of Plymouth.

PLYMOUTH, March 1.-THE Hamburg
American line steamer Suevia, concerning
whose whereabouts considerable anxiety
had been felt since she was reported
Thursday disabled off the Lizard, arrived
this morning.
Upon arrival here it was found that the
Suevia's low-pressure cylinders were
mashed to atoms and the piston-rod bent.
She narrowly escaped the fate of the other
vessels which went ashore during the
recent blizzard. As soon as possible after
the accident the Suevia was headed south
ward, with the topsail set. Under this sail
the Suevia continued until yesterday after
noon, when her engineer managed to dis
connect the mashed cylinder and arranged
so as to be able to place her under steam
with one cylinder. The steamship was
then about twenty-five miles south of
Bishops rock. At first she was enabled to
proceed at the rate of six miles per hour,
an d some time later she logged seven and
a half knots, and finally reached Plymouth
without assistance.
