Catholic and every province has its local
grievances the task is no small one.
Sir John Thompson is native Of
Nova Scotia and made his first step in
public life in 1877, when he entered the
legislature of his province. He became
attorney general in the following year,
and in 1882 became judge Of the su-
preme court, but three years later he
resigned to accept the ministry Of Justice
in the Dominion cabinet. On the death
of Sir John Macdonald he was spoken Of
for the premiership, but was passed by
largely on account of the opposition
evinced by the Orangemen on account of
his religion, as he was born and raised a
Protestant, but became Catholic.
He took the leadership of the house of
commons and had as much power in the
government as the premier. Since Pre-
mier Abbott's appointment Sir John has
conquered prejudice by his ability, and
especially by his mastery codification
of the criminal law, which was enthu-

Daring Train Robbery.

partially successful train robbery, COM
mitted by six bandits supposed to be
members of the notorious Starr gang,
took place at Pryor creek, Indian terri
tory, last night. When the Missouri
and Kansas train reached Pryor creek
six masked men, after signalling the
train, proceeded to the front end
where the engineer. fireman, con-

covered them with revolvers.
While two of the men guarded the
trainmen the other four entered the
express car, but failed to secure any
booty. They then relieved all the pas
sengers of their money and valpables,
estimated at $1,000, which they deposit
ed in sacks, backed out of the car fir
ing their pistols into the air, and es-
capped in the darkness.

A HORSE WITH A NEW EYE.-Dr.
Robert Ward, the State veterinarian,
put an artificial eye in a horses head
Yesterday. The animal is named Tuck
err, fine looking brown gelding, sired
by Hannibal, and owned By DIR. Wal
ter w. White. About two years ago
the horse had one of his eyes injured,
and gradually lost the sight of that OPP
tic. The case was brought to the at
tention of DR.. Ward some weeks ago.
1t is difficult matter to secure artiti-
cial eyes for horses that will not warp,
break or fall out. Dr. Ward knew that
the proper article could be procured in
England, and in reply to a letter the
delicate piece of compound was received
a few days ago. 1t is made of a COM
position of vulcanitc, and will not
change color or become easily injured.
Several days ago DR.. Ward dried up
the injured eye and placed small cir
cular piece of vulcanite in the socket,
so as to accustom the horse to the new
sensation. The imported eye was put
in at four o'clock yesterday afternoon.
DR.. Ward put few drops of oil on the
disc-like arrangement, and, with the
aid of lancet, raised the eye-lids and
placed the eye in position. The arti-
fetal adornment looks exceeding nat

Thn State Convention.

Chairman Basil B. Gordon will, it
is thought, call the State democratic
committee together sometime during
the present month to decide as to the
time and place for holding the State
convention. The committee will meet
in Richmond. There will be lively
competition among at least three cities
to secure the convention. Richmond,
Norfolk and Roanoke are exceedingly
anxious to entertain the body, and the
little city of Charlottesville may come
in and try to carry off the honor. 1t
NAV be stated in advance that there is
going to be flight over the date. The
O'Ferrallites generally favor on early
convention and the Tylerites a late
one. While it is possible that all the
anti-O Penalties desire that the nomi-
nation be put off as long as possible,
not all of the supporters of the Con-
gresham are advocates of an early con-
vention. Some of the most pronounced
opponents of early nominations are
warm friends of Col. O'Ferrall. The
hlcnmOuu correspondent vi eho wi"
burg appeal says:
1.-THE friends in this city of Colonel
Charles T. O'Ferral will hold a con-
ference on Thursday night, when plans
for permanent organization will be con.
sidered. While those who are al the head
of themovementt to make the colonel the
democratic nominee for the governor
ship claim that he is sure winner,
they are not disposed to take any
chances. They intend to begin active
work at once. Colonel O'Ferrall may
be here in person on Thursday night
for conference with his lieutenants.

the Richmond politicians, but he has a

BERLIN, May S.-The centre party
had an uproarious meeting to-day TO
consider the terms on which the
centre should support the army bill in
the Reichstag. The meeting resulted
in the rejection of Freiherr Won
Huen's proposition by an enormous
majority. Count Won Ballestrem there"
upon resigned his place as leader of the
centre, and Count Won Preysing-Lich-

that the government would endeavor
by every constitutional means to Sc

LONDON, May 3.-The city was the
scene to-day of an unusual demonstra-
ton. Eight hundred brokers, headed
by leaders bearing the Union Jack
flags and wearing Union Jacks of pa
per in their hats in token of their de-
votion to the cause of the union and
their opposition to Irish home rule,
marched in procession from the stock
exchange to-day to unionist meeting
in Guildhall. Upon reaching the
Guildhall, and before entering, tire
brokers sang the anthem "Rule Britain
nia," and other unionist leaders. A
crowd assembled evidently not in SYM
pathy with the brokers, and lent va
riety to the cheers by occasional boots.
The Guildhall was thronged with
unionists. AS Lord Mayor Knill, the
Right Hon. Joseph Chamberlain and
other prominent men were entering,
part of the platform collapsed, and
scores of people fell, but none were Sc.
riously injured. Mr.. Chamberlain de-
livered an address, in which he re-
iterated his prophecies of financial ruin
as the outcome of Irish home rule.
