NEW YORK, Aug. 1.-The national
officers and directors of the Ancient

which are thought to be deeply signifi-
cant of the future policy of that order

of Irish independence. The resolutions
are said by we'll informed IrishHen
TO mean that the Ancient Order tOf
Hibernians indorses the Irish revolu-
tionary movement which seeks Irish
independence by force of arms, al
though the text does not convey that
statement in direct language. The i'm
portance of the action lies in the fact
that it is done in the name of 5000
men who form the society. The reSO-
lutiOns follow:
The Ancient Order of Hibernians of
America, being composed of American
citizens of Irish descent, its work for
the century of it's existence as an
organization on American soil being on
record as an eXemplificatiOn of organ
fatherland:
Resolved. Therefore, that we, the
national officers and directors Of the
aforesaid organization in regular meet
ing assembled in view of the political
conditions now existing in England and
Ireland, extend to the people of ireland
our Warmest and most sincere syIn-.
pathy in the magnificent and heroic
struggle which they have made fos-.
national independence for their native
land, and we bid them godspeed in
their patriotic effort
Resolved, That as representa- lives of
the largest and strongest Irish-Ameri-
can organization on the continent.
every member of which loves the
liberty of his native and adopted
country, we pledge the faith and feaItv
of this order to any policy that they
think practical looking to a national
regular and aggressive effort for Irish
national independence.
Judge Wilbert, of Philadelphia. said.
Our resolutions practically endorse
the new movement. 1t is, of course.
IN embryo, and we cannot designate it
but when, after the convention. it be-
comes an actual fact and is established
as movement to win the absolute in
dependence of Ireland, then We shall
be free to speak Of it. We will helm

have no fear of the future"

ANOTHER HOLMES VICTIM.
Mysterious Disappearance of Harry
of Greenburg, Ind.


of Greenburg, Ind.
GREENSBURG. Ind, Aug. Facts
have developed here which make the
supposition very strong that Harry
Walker. who mysteriously disappeared
from here about two years ago, be-
came a victim of H. II. Holmes.
Walker was about % years old when
he came to this city from the old
country, three years ago. His trade
was that of a jeweler. He was a good
workman, commanding q fair salary.
He Travelled a great deal, often going
to Indianapolis and Chicago to spend
his Sundays.
1t was on one of these trips that he
first met Holmes. He was sitting in
the Union station at Indianapolis
when Well-dressed gentleman
stepped up to him and introduced him
self as Holmes. He said he was wait
.ng Cor the Chicago train, and the
two were soon in conversation.
Holmes said he was a real estate
dealer anG ad considerable property
Of mis- own in Chicago to look after.
He was DESTROYS of employing a secre-
tary and offered Walker a large sal
sry to fill the position. Walker stated
that he was under obligations to his
employer and would not leave him
without his consent. Upon returning
he spoke to his employer about
the matter and was anxious
10 accept the offer Mr. Till
son, his employer, thought it was
sOIne queer scheme, and acting upon
his advice Walker abandoned the idea.
About three weeks afterward Holmes
came to the city and registered at the
Hotel Dearmand as Waldo Bunkborn,
Indianapolis. He inquired for Walker
and drove about over the city and out
into the country a distance. Holmes
offered to increase his proposition if
Walker would go to Chicago with MIN
and assured him thai he would enjoy
living there. He also induced Walker
TO have his life insured for $4,000 and
ne promised to pay all dues, and in
case Walker died he would give $4,000
# the money to MS sister in Pennsyl
vania, according To a signed contract.
Walker left this city shortly after
ward and went to BateSville, where he
engaged in the jewelry business. He
had not been there long. however,
when he mysteriously disappeared.
Holmes was seen with him the day be-
fore, but nothing was thought about
the matter. In about ten days the
proprietor of the hotel at which he
boarded received the following letter:
Chicago, Nov. 81, 1893.
ATr. RoIphes:I am secretary for
Mr.. Holmes, who was down TO see me
the other day. He will pay me $1,000
year, which is more than L could
make in Batesville or Greensboro
either. [ viii be down in few days
and settle. Yours as ever,
HARRY WALKER
A isonth passed and he was not
heard from. Letters which were
written 10 him were not answered.
Finally Mr.. Rolphes went to Chicago,
sS.5t could find nc trace of either
Walker or Holmes. He returned and
waited another month and as Walker
! did not return or write, the small
stick of cheap jewellery was sold to
pay his bills.
considerable excitement is mani
tested oyer the matter and there
