AF TER TWENTyYEARS
Man Given Up For Dead
Returns to His Home.
HE CLAIMS INNOCENCE
or q Crime For Which He Served Nine
teen Years.

NEW BEDFORD, Mass, April S.-Resi
dents Of Chancery street, in the vicinity
Of Union street, were treated to sensa-
iion yesterday, when Michael Welch, so
years old, who had been looked upon
rs dead for 20 years, walked into the
presence of his aged mother and sister and
made himself known. Welch Is a son of
the late John Welch, and his mother,
lives with a daughter.
When Welch reached this city he was 80
changed that
No One Recognized Him,
but after awhile he found some one who
knew him AT j. & w. X, Wings. He
earned that his father was dead and the
place Of residence OF brother and the
mother a q sister.
Welch, about &c years ago, shipped on
vessel bound from Boston to Melbourne.
After the ship had been out few days the
mate was murdered. A Spaniard, who
had had dispute with the first officer,
sought revenge by the use Of dagger.
The deed was committed at night while
Welch had the wheel.
He ran to the assistance of the mate, and
being found so near the murdered man
was placed unuer arrest Win tne opahlaru.
Upon arrival at Melbourne the Spaniard
was tried, convicted and hanged. Despite
the protestations of innocence made by
Welch, who explained how he came to be
near the mate, he was adjudged guilty Of
Participating In the crime
and sentenced to 10 years in the Mel
bourne priscl. When he went to prison
he hadn'l u gray hair, but now there are
white hairs in plenty on his head.
After serving II years OF his sentence he
was released, and from his earnings he
saved sufficient money to secure passage
for Liverpool, from which port he pro-
ceeded to New York.
The above is the story related by those
who are acquainted with the unfortunate
man, who declines to be interviewed, pre-
ferring to let the past remain in oblivion.

WANTED H|M'PUT OUT.
Very Lively Meeting Of
Stockholders.
AN OFFICER CALLED IN.
Alderman Adams Objects to an Out
sider's Presence.

The reorganized Stafford MaBufactur-
ing Company OF Central Falls met yester-
day. The meeting was interesting, not to
say lively. Alderman Johu f. Adams of
this city, President OF the company, oc-
cupied the chair and there was a fair at
tendance of stock holders.
President Adams, who has had some
experience In the Pawtucket Board Of
Aldermen, said, with meaning In his
voice and manner, that he noticed per-
sons present who had no right to be and
he hoped they would retire before the
business was transacted. John +. Thurs
ton of Providence appeared as attorney
for holders of some of the stock and Wal
ter II. Barney OF Providence represented
a share holder by proxy. Mr.. Thurston's
presence was objected to, but that gen.
tleman, evidently knowing the Chairman,
and having considerable Carrollism In his
makeup, destined to leave the room.
For half an hour the stocs holders lin
gered In silence and then the Office clerk
was sent for a policeman. Officer Weich
was found and hsstened to the scene. He
was informed that Mr.. Thurston was an
Objectionable person ,as he had no right at
the meeting, and 1t was the request of the
President that he be removed.
Mr.. Thurston said that he would 90 II
forced, but warned the officer of his
liability for action. The officer deeming
discretion the better part Of vslor, and
having little confidence In the assertions
that 1t would be all right to eject Mr..
Thurston, retired without the latter gen.
tleman to inform Capt. Goldsmith Of the
case, and receive orders. The Captain ad-
vised non Interference.
The stage waited. Mr.. Barney moved
that f. A. Horton be elected chairman
pro tenn. This mot ion was carried. Mr..
Barney then moved to adjourn. On this
motion j. 4. Goldsworthy demanded q roll
call. The motion was declared lost. Mr..
Barney called attention to the fact that a
quorum was not present.
In the meantime the other side of the
house had been interceding with Judge
Goff. They wanted him to issue a war
rant against Mr.. Thurston. He declined
to take any action In the matter by issu-
ing warrant for a criminal action.
Finally Mr.. Horton was on motion OF
ex-Judge Goldsworthy removed from the
chair. Alderman Adams again ascended
the throne and Mr.. Barney filed written
protest, claiming that Mr.. Adams had been
elected at a meeting when he voted on
stock that he had no right to represent, az
1t belonged to an estate over which he was
executor.
After some other sharp shooting and
considerable acidity, the contesting par.
ties left the meeting and the business to
be transacted was considered. The COM
psny desires to hire money to increase its
business by making changes in machinery
and purchasing more property.

GLADSToNE'S EFFORT.
Real Battle Of Words on the Home Rule Bill
Will 0pen Monday.

LONDON. April s.--Mr. Gladstone has so
benefited by the sea air Of Brighton that
he returned there yesterday. His vigorous
and eloquent speech Thursday evening,
only marred by slight huskiness toward
the close, lent interest to what would
otherwise have been a dull opening to
the second act of the home rule
drama. Half the members are still absent
ON their holiday. The opposition's front
bench wal deserted, as Messrs. Balfour,
Goschen, Lord Randolph Churchill and
Mr. Chamberlain are still stumping the
country.
The real fighting debate will begin on
Monday. Mr.. Gladstone hopes to get a
division on next Friday, but the Unionists
talk OF fortDights debate, which will
probably prove an accurate prediction,
though the ministerialists will leave all
speaking to the opposition after Thursday
