with drink to publicly call him "a mur-
dorer." Hc regretted that such devices
had dcbarred him from attending tho
funeral OF tho great illustrious leader,
for whom he mournod moro than those
loudest in their professions OF grief, and
who in spite OF the events OF tho past
year would hand down his namo 10 DO

tian and n disgrace to Irish journalism,
would not be repeated. The latter no.
mark created sensation.

twenty men employed on the elcctrici-

the proposition TO remove the prohib-
ition Of the importation OF American
pork, tho ultra-protectionist members
will attempt to secure IN adverse re-
port on tho scheme. Neither NJ. Jules

THE NiINGO WRECK,

CISclNNATI. Oct. lS.--A large number
OF business men will be put in Il very
embarrassing position for short time
by the accident Oh the Pennsylvania
railroad at Mingo junction, Ohio, Fri
day morning.
The express and mail cars which
were wrecked and burned contained a
large amount OF valuable papers, such
as notes, drafts and bank accounts.

There were large number OF remit

ness men lost, and in hundreds OF cases
credit will be delayed until the missing
documents can be found or forwarded
or duplicated. This is not all. The
registered mail on that train was very
heavy and much OF it was consumed BY
the fire. Yesterday morning big pile

IRISH HPARLIANIENTAR FUND.
Fronch Lawyers sny, its isslel5e is y Very
Knotty Problcin.

PARIS, Oct. IS. Several eminent
French lawyers have been consulted
upon the matter Of the release of the
fund OF tho Irish parliamentary party
now on deposit here. They agree that
the problem is knotty one, and
believe that the first step must be an
application to the court OF chancery by
the heirs OF Mr.. Parnell and those OF
Mr.. Biggar, for Mr.. Biggar was q trustee
OF the fund at tho same time that Mr..
Parnell was. The French judges will
not act probably contrary to the de-
cision OF the English court unlcss-in
declaring themselves incompetent to
adopt it. This would cause prolonged
trouble. If the money goes into tho
caiss des consignations it is lost to
all but the French treasury. Legal pro-
ceedings will serve to keep it from
everybody for many years, and then it
will fall to the State.

CANADA'S DEFENSES.
Tho British Government Taking Mcnsurst
to Strengthen Them.

Tho British Government Taking Measures
to Strengthen Them.
OTTAWA, OsT, Oct. 1S.-Following
close upon the announcement that the
United States government intended to
abrogato the agreement entered into
with Great Britain in 1871 and place a
fleet of gun boats upon the great lakes,
comes the report to-day that at the re-
quest OF the British government Lord
Stanley had demanded an immediate
report upon the dcienscs of
the Dominion. The military au-
thorities hero naturally attached
some interest as to what the urgency
could be that hurricdly called for this
information. For several years past,
to use the language OF prominent
military officer here, the British govern
ment has been hammcring at Sir John
Macdonald to strengthen the defenses
OF Canada, that in the event Of trouble
the Dominion might not be solely de-
pendent upon Great Britain for pro-
lection. This request has not been car
ried out to the satisfaction OF the Brit
Hh government. 1t is stated on the
highest authority that the officer
commanding the Dominion forces,
General Herbert was sent out to Canada
to Investigate the actual state OF affairs,
which duty his predecessor appears to
have sorely neglected. There appears
to be little doubtthat it is the intention
OF the British government to send sew
eral regiments to Canada shortly. This
has been in contemplation for some
time. Again the Notifications at Hall
fax. still under the control OF the i'm
perial authorities, are being strength
cned to make that naval station i'm
pregnable The same policy is to be
carried out in British Columbia.
1t has been suggested that England
has become alarmed ut the strong an
nexation movement which appears to
have seized her subjects in Canada, and
is going to take precautionary meas
ures ii necessary at the point OF the
bayonet to prevent its further develop
ment.

him to 20 to The front personally
with his family and so among the SOL

their grievances and showing them that
he WAS tho father OF the people. Mr..

suits. The next time Mr.. Lincoln and
Miss Colhurn met was on the day OF the

The Ola Man Got Fooled.

An old man whose son had MARI ed
and come to Dakota, and whom the
father supposed was starving to death
and too proud to tell it: tells it this
way: II have been thirty-fve years
back in Indiana clearing an eighty
acre farm and it is hardly in good
shape, but I mortgaged it to get
enough money to come out and get
John and Lizzie and take them home,
but found that John had a well inn
proved farm of 160 acres all paid for,
and was raising more oats and wheat
than had ever seed grow before on
the same amount of ground. And
when started back to Indiana John
gave me $3.50 so that I could pay off
the mortgage on my farm. 1 am going
to sell my farm for whatever can get
for it and come out and live i'll this
country. I don't want to live in
country any longer where man can't
tell the truth without being considered
crazy. Why, if I should take one of
these sixty-five inch wheat straws back
to Indiana they would swear it was
hand made and painted
