A Aingling Of Cheers and Kisses at
Kilkenny ponvensiaa

II
! KILKENNY, Ireland, Oct. 20, '9l.
When William O'Brien arrived
belt to-day to attend the conven-
tion he was met at the railroad
sfftion by great crowd of people,
who, seeing him emerge from the
waiting room, greeted him with
mingled cheers and Kisses. A strong
lpolice escort was out in front of the
station and as soon as Mr.. O'Brien
had taken his place in the
carriage which the committee had
provided for his use the officers
formed in square about it and as.
policemen and carriage moved
slowly along, the enthusias-
tic cheers of Mr.. O'Brien's
admirers were met and sometimes
drowned by ugly Kisses of those in
the crowd who insisted in looking e
upon this as the occasion of the visit
of one Of the enemies Of Par
nell. Presently the cry Of
murder was heard and un-
til the arrival Of the procession at
| his destination this epithet fairly di-
vided the honors of the occasion
with both applauses and Kisses. Mr..
O'Brien was elected presiding Off
Ger of the convention. Routine
business was proceeded with, and
then Michael Davitt was selected tc
contest the seat for North Kilkenny
made vacant by the deatl
of Sir John Pope Hennessy
in the event that the parliamentary
party refused to select a candidate
to make the fight. While the conven
ton was in session numerous row
were taking place between the fac
tions and the streets wer
filled with fighting mobs. S.
. savage were some of tn
! attacks made by the partisan
upon their opponents that the epolic
were compelled to separate tn
fighting men in order to preven
outright murder. In one Or tw
: instances the officers found it net
2 essary to charge the crowds i
force.

We would like to see Mr.. Mills
elected Speaker, because he is the
most conspicuous representative OF
the Democratic policy of tariff re-
form, or we would like to have MIR.
Crisp placed at the Speakers desk,
because he has clear head and is
we'll informed on parliamentary

liam L. Wilson, of West Virginia,
in the chair than either Mills or
Crisp, because he halls from a bor-
der State and is as well qualified as
either of the others to discharge the
duties of the office acceptably to the
country and with advantage to the
party. But it would be far better,
from a political point of view, if

NEW YORK, October 20. Much
interest has been excited in jour

the Western Union Telegraph Com
pany for leased wires, and the wires
about which the difficulty arose are
leased by the New York Associated
Press. To the present time the
amount due is about $4,000. The
Joint committee of the New York
and Western Associated Press first
took the matter in hand. That
committee consists of representa-
tives of the New York Herald,
New York Tribune, New York
San, Louisville Courier yourna
and the Cincinnati Commercial
Gazette. The Western Union has
notified the New York Associated
Press that its leased wires woulC
be cut off at once, and it was done
The wires in question are one wire
from New York to Chicago, twt

leg from the dogs teeth. The ami
NAL ran out and made his way to-

PRESIDENT POLK'S WILL.
It's Probable Contest by Mrs. Folks
Adopted Daughter.
Nashville American.

NdSuN Nlllc AueIlCt1u.
1t is currently reported on the
street that eminent counsel has been
retained by Mrs. G. w. Fall to
contest the will of the late Presi-
dent Polk on the ground that the
clause leaving his real estate to the
State in trust for his own family is
void, and that therefore the prop
erty would come under the clause
leaving the residue of his property
to his wife, whose heiress
Mrs. Fall was. In his
will leaving his personal property
to his wife, the President requested
that at her death she would divide
it equally between his family and
her own. AS Mrs. Polk saw fit not
to do this, but bequeathed all her
estate to her adopted daughter,
Mrs. Fall, we hardly can believe
that this lady is now seeking by a
legal technicality to get even the
real estate which the President SO
evidently desired should go to his
own family.
This matterwill be brought out.
however, certainly in the next few
days, as we are informed that Mr.
Tasker Polk, of North Carolina
the son of the Presidents brother
William Polk, is on his way here
There are here all of the ele
ments, however, to produce {
"cause celebre." This old Poll
mansion, with the tomb of the Pres
ident, is one of the landmarks o
Nashville. Since the death of Mrs
Polk the peculiar will of Mr.. Poll
has produced much comment, AM
now an endeavor to divert this oil
place entirely from his family to on
only connected with him by adoE
: ton would cause much further com
ment.

No More Freshing at Davidson.

DAVIDSON COLLEGE, N. c., Oct.
20, 1891. The whole body of
students at Davidson College, with
only two exceptions, have recently
signed paper in which each one
pledges his honor to abstain from
every form of hazing during his con-
nection with the college, and to use
all honorable means to prevent any
future students from indulging in
the practice. This annihilates
''freshing" at Davidson, certainly
for several years, possibly for all the
future.

following question "Well, who do
you suppose written the Bible?"
Receiving no reply, he answered
himself by saying: ''It was wrote
by expired men long time ago."

special to STATE CHRONICLE.
WINSTON, Oct. 20.-Two Sudden
deaths occurred in the county last
night, one was prominent and
well-to.do farmer named Frederick
Badford. He laid down in the
afternoon to rest and when called
to supper was found dead on the
bed. The second was popular
young man, Mr.. Charles Stride,
who passed away suddenly at his
boarding house in Winston.
1t is learned to-day that embez-
zler j. N. Pendleton, who skipped
from here last week to parts un-
known, is something less than four
hundred dollars short with the
Western Union telegraph company.
1t is understood also that the com.
pany will not make any effort to
capture him, as his bondsmen, who
are relatives and personal friends
of Pendleton, are good for the
amount. The Twin City Club
which is short about 81, 900 by hi
departure, will be the only one t.
make an effort to capture him, if i
does.

The League In Cincinnati,

President Young Of the league, who has Just
returned from Cincinnati, said to q STAR re-
porter today that the league will have no trou-
BILE with Cincinnati and a league club will be
established there. The restraining order Of
the court prevented him from turning over to
Al johnson the S26, 600 in cash which he stood
ready to give for the Cincinnati franchise as
soon as Johnson could deliver the goods. The
restraining order prevents johnson from full
filing his contract because the Prince and
Wagner interests are involved but Mr. Young
said the leagues counsel said that the iniunc-
ton would be modified so that he as represent
alive Of the league could withhold from pay
ment the amount involved in the Wagner and
Prince interests until it should be finally de-
cided to whom the money belongs. The leagues
skirts are entirely clean in the matter, Mr.
Young said, and there has been no underhand
business and no trickery.
