The weather is evidently playing an
old trick. 1t is tempting people back
from the country by low temperature,
then it will warm them up in lively style
towards the middle Of the month, AS ii
has done many times before. The re-
turning pilgrims will thus be able to
sympathize with the people who have
remained in the city all summer.

Mr.. Blaine has always been very fond
Of Bar Harbor, and as the season for re-

IRELAND's CAUSE ASSURED
Such is the View of the "pail Mall Ga
Zetta" About the Carlow Election.

LONDON, July l6-Thc Pail Mali Gazette
to-day, referring to the crushing nature
of Mr.. Parnefl's defeat at Carlow, says
that even the most bigoted observer can
not ignore the fact that the majority
would have been even larger if the Tories
had not voted solidly for the Parnellite
candidate.
What MAKES it more significant" the
Gazette adds, "is the fact that the Par
nellites confidently expected different
result. Mr. Parnell even rashlyannounc-
ed that he would abide by the Carlow de-
cision.
at is decidedly manifest that the Ma
tional Federation in America was right in
regarding the result as being no longer
in doubt, and that the political future of
the National cause is assured"
In reviewing the chorus of the Tory
press in regard to Carlow, that press chess
ing the Carlow victory as a triumph for
the Vatican, the Pail Mall Gazette says
that the interests of the Irish people and
those Of the Irish clergy arc identical,
and consequently they are pulling to-
gcther.
DUBLIN, July l6.-Thc Parnellite press
is exceedingly downcast over the result
of the Carlow election. The Freeman's
Journal says that there is now no more
chance of getting home rule for Ireland
than there is Of getting the moon. ''The
electors" it adds, 'haye abandoned their
independence for the British party yoke"
The Conservative Dublin Express says
that the English will learn from Carlow
that "the Irish tenant-farmer, when not
actuated by insane land hunger, is pup
pct in the hands Of Roman Catholic
priests, and as unfit to he an eiector as If
he were an infant or lunatic. %
The National Press, the McCarthyite
organ, naturally is jubilant. and says:
sThc Carlow men have dealt the death
blow to the faction of Mr.. Parnell, from
which there is no longer any peril. 1t is
merely temporary nuisance. The inso-
lence of the sef-constituted dictator has
been rcbuked."

ON THE WAR PATH.
Arizona NavaJos on the War Pati-Raid
Rancho.

FLAGSTAFF, ARlz., July l6.-During the
past month The Navajo Indians have been
acting in a defiant manner towards the
whites and it was the general belief that
they were waiting for favorable oppor-
tunity to drive the cattlemen from their
ranch.
A courier has just arrived here from
the Little Colorado, thirty miles north
east, with tie intelligence that band of
500 Navajos had taken possession OF the
stock On Vim. Rodden's range, driving
out the herders and slaughtering large
numbers of the cattle. The Indians were
we'll armed and can get large number OF
reinforcements from the reservation.
Sheriff Francis will leave for the scene
tomorrow with thirty armed COWBOYS to
arrest the leaders of the band. If Fran
els fails to arrest the chiefs and get the
Indians back to their reservation, the
War Department will be appealed to and
troops will probably be ordered out. The
Nayaios number $4,000, are we'll fixed
financially, and are the largest tribe in
the territory.

CARNOT SHOT AT.
A Madman Attempts to Take tho Life OF
the President OF France.

PARIS, July l6 There was considerable
excitement to-day throughout Paris,
caused by the report that President Car
not had been shot. This rumor proved
upon investigation to he untrue, but there
was foundation for the report.
The President was present to-day at the
ceremonies of the official opening OF II new
the Avenue de La Repub-
lioue, where he received an enthusiastic
welcome. Suddenly . man, ~ild-cyed
acknowledgements sguestures, foyced his
masfh through the crowd and pushed past
the goidievs on duty about the spot where
the ceremonies were taking place. The
man rushed up to the carriage in which
the President had driven up to the new
avenue and fired pistol at III. Garnet.
AS he did so the man shouted: "I'il prove
that there are more Bastiles to he demoi-
ished"
President Carmot was undoubtedly
alarmed at what appeared to be direct
attempt upon his life, but the President
was unhurt and soon regained his entire
presence of mind.
The man who fired the shot was promptly
arrested by the police, and such was the
anger Of the crowd present that the Of
6cers had the greatest difficulty in pro-
tecting their prisoner from the popular
fury which he had excited.
The police examination soon disclosed
tbe fact that he was mailman, and that
he had inst been released from coniine-
ment in lunatic asylum.

MRS. LANGTRY ASSAULTED.
Ter Beauty SO MARRIED That she Will not
Likely Appear Again on the Stage.

LoSpox, July ]6.-Several stories are
aaoat with regard to the latest theatrical
sensation-Mr. Abingdon Baird assault
ON Mrs. Langtry, about which there has
been good deal of gossip.
The following story may be relied upon
as being authentic as it was told to the
correspondent by one who saw Mrs. Lang
try lust after tue assault had been COM
mitted, with the blood streaming down
her face.
Some time ago Mr.. Baird bought DIRK
House, Regents Park, for Mrs. LanstrS'
and also paid off her debts in connection
with the Princess Theatre, of which she
is at present the lease holder.
On 4 recent occasion Mr.. Baird return
ed home unexpectedly and found young
gentleman dining with Mrs. Langtry'
Without more ado he proceeded 10 hre

Mrs. Langtry began an action for as

THE STATE LOSES.
Result of the Suit Against tho suretie.
of Ex-Treasurer James w. Tate.

FRANKFORT, KY, July IG-1hc jury in
the Tate security case this afternoon
brought in verdict for the defendants,
the bondsmen Of ex-Treasurer Tate. The
argument in the case was concluded last
Saturday morning by Attorney General
j. ". Hardin and the case given to the
jury. A motion has been made OH behalf
of the State for new trial The amount
sued on was SCI, 900 for the term Of 1882
So. Its payment is only question Of
liability. The defendants admit that
$4,000 Was cmbezzled before the term
for which they were suretics. Their
counsel proved from on undoubted state
of facts that the State was in debt to the
Treasurer $500 at the date of the term for
which these bondsmen are liable.
This suit grows out Of the defalcation
Of State Treasurer James w. Tate, whose
deficit, when he disappeared in 1883,
amounted to about $l50,000 This has
been very materially reduced by the as
sets that were left behind, and the auth
critics of the State attempted to make
the Commonwealth whole by forcing the
sureties to pay the balance. The latter
resisted the effort on the ground that the
State officers had not exercised that dill
gence in supervising the acts Of the
Treasurer that the law required of them.
The case went to the Court of Appeals
once on legal point involved, but this is
the first trial that has been had on the
merits OF the controversy. 1t is a victory
for the sureties and means that the State
will he out about $4,000 On account Of
Tate's cmbczzlcment, unless a new trial
results in favor of the State. The de-
faulting Treasurer has not been heard
from for about two years, so far as the
public has any knowledge. His family
still reside here.

The News Here.

The majority Of the people here will
read the news with surprise. Gen. Ayers
and his associate counsel in the case have
appeared so confident that the court would
decide against DR.. Bailey that the belief
became almost universal at the Cap that
such would be the result of the prolonged
litigation.
1t is presumed the present company will
seek to have the road taken out Of the
hands of the receiver and restored to the
old management, and continued litigation
must be the result.
