IRELAND'S CAUSE.
O'COnnOr Throws a Bomb, But the
Good Sense of the Delegates
Secures a Harmonious
Resolution.

Dublin, Sept. 2.-The Irish national
ovu veHtio. pasunaoa ito seasien this
morning with rumors of war on every
side and little prospect of harmony,
which the convention was organized to
bring about. I. P. O'Connor fiercely at
tackled the "disruptionists who are filing
the convention with every dirty expedi-
ent." O'Connor's attack on the Healy-
ties was received with deafening cheers
from the Dillonites. A scene of great
disorder followed.
Later the convention adopted a resolu-
tion recording it's conviction that it was
of importance that the nationalists rep
resentatives in parliament should be re-
united in one home rule party in which
every supporter of that policy would be
cordially received and treated accord
ing TO his capacity to render service to
the common cause.

WORRYING LITTLE BRAGG.
A story was printed in the morning
papers that late last night some of Bragg's
friends discovered that in 1873 Bragg had
written letter in support of free silver
and that they had decided to drop him
and take up Villas or Black.
"I would stake my homestead" said
Villas to-day, con my conviction that
there is absolutely no truth in the story
that Bragg voted for the Bland-Allison

has been absolutely sound on the money
question:
"Wlsoonsin," Senator Villas continued
"is for Bragg and will continue to be for
him."

istically: "Flddlesticks, there is not a
word of truth in it. My action eighteen
years ago is the only thing that can be
brought against me. II is not probable
that q man who had to pay 40 per cen,
premium for U. 8. money when he crossed
the border of free silver Mexico would
write a letter after that experience for the
free silver standard"

RECEPTION AT SPRINGFIELD,

Springfield, Ohio.-Fully 10000 people
greeted the Democratic nominee at
Springfield and cheered him from the
time he left the train until the police
finally fought way for him to the train
bearing him to Toledo. Mr.. Bryan said
in part:
"Ladies and gentlemen: For few
minutes only l shall occupy your atten-
ton because large portion of my voice
has been left along the line of travel
where it is still calling sinners to repent
ence. Great laughter 1 am told in
this city you manufacture more agrieul-
tural implements than are manufactured
in any other city in the country. | am
glad to talk to people who recognize
their dependence upon
TIE FARMERS OF THIS COUNTRY.
~ have had occasion to talk to some who
seem to imagine that the harder up they
make the farmers the better they would
be off. am glad to talk to you who
recognize that the dollars you receive are
earned by those who convert the natural
resources OF this country into money,
those who till the soil and from whose
fertility springs forth this nntion'o pr1-
mary greatness. As matter OF TACT the
farmers and laboring men are the founda-
tion of society. (Cheers.) Upon this
foundation is built the commercial
classes, and the fnancer acts as a sort of
a roof over the whole thing. You can
take off this roof and put on another, but
you can't destroy the foundation without
running the whole building. (Applause.)
Upon the prosperity of the great pro-
ducers of wealth whom We call the masses,
as distinguished from the classes,
DEPENDS ALL PROSPERITY
in this city. If you have the gold stand
ard you legislate the value of money up
and you lsgislate the value of property
down. Our opponents are trying to
throw upon Providence the blame for
your condition. If the farmer complains
that he is not making much off his potato
crop, they tell him it is due to the potato
bug. If he is not making much out of
corn they tell him it is due to the chinch
bug. If he is not making much out of
wheat they tell him it is due to the army
worm, but let me tell you that
THE GOLD BUG
is destroying more crops than all of
them. Great laughter.) The farmer is
the most helpless victim of circumstances
of all the producers of wealth. When he
plants his crop in the spring he does not
know whether there is going to be food
or drought, whether there is going to be
hot winds or cold hail. He takes his
chances, and l assert when he has taken
more chance than anybody else and sur
wives all the pestilences and calamities
that visit the farm it is not fair to drive
him between the bulls and bears OF Wall
street and let them take from him what is
left. Great laughterand applause.)

Law rs to Indictments.

"And this court" further declares Judge
Metcalf, sin the case of Commonwealth
vs.. Barker, IL Cush., 1856, 1877, decided that
all indictment for murder was sufficient,
which alleged that the defendant at Wor-
cester, in the county of Worcester,
on the I'd of January, 1858, with
certain axe feloniously did strike NJ. B.,
giving unto the said NJ. B., then and there
with the axe aforesaid feloniously, will
fully and with malice aforethought, one
mortal wound;" that the words "then
and there" need not to be repeated be-
fore the allegation of the mortal wounds,
because notwithstanding the English de-
cision to the contrary, it was deemed most
clear that no one upon reading the indict-
ment could fail to understand that the
mortal wound was alleged to have been
given on the day named in the Indictment
in Worcester"
Says the Judge further: "We are of
the opinion that charge expressed in a
plain, intelligent and explicit manner.
and in the accustomed legal phraseology is
sufficient to warrant a Judgment against
the :party thus charged, whether that
charge be capital offense or misde-
meanof."
See also 10 Cush., 81, Commonwealth
vs. DohertY.
In Ball vs. United States, 140, U. g., p.
1856, it is declared that all the essential in
gradients of the offense charged must be
stated in the indictm ent, embracing with
reasonable certainty the particulars of
time and place, that the accused may be
enabled to prepare his defense, and avail
himself of his acquittal or conviction
against further prosecution for the same
Case" The indictment in this case was
sustained as to time, though 1t contained
no averments upon that point, upon the
ground that it was observed from the in
dictment that it was returned before the
lapse of year and day from the time
it was alleged in the indictment the party
was assaulted, but no place of death was
sverred, and there were no data to supply
the omission, and the indictment was ac-
cordingly remanded with directions that
IL should be quashed.
Satisfied that the time and place are
stated with sufficient particularly and
exsctness in the indictment under con-
alteration, "to advise the appellants in
error OF the nature and cause of the
accusation against them," TO use the
words of section 679, O. H. and for which
they we're arraigned and tried, We will
consider the degree Of the crime specified,

ity of the proceedings of the seemingly
conflicting special term, and it can not in
any view be legitimately maintained that
the legislature by such direction intended
mandate and the vitiation of all pro.
ceedings in disregard of it.
By section 543, special terms are as to
their length as absolutely in the control
of the presiding Judge as are regular
terms, and section $50 authorizes special
terms not only in the discretion of the
Judge in the fprtherance of Justice, but
without any condition or restriction as to
duration. 1t may therefore be logically
concluded that the authority to continue
terms until adjourned by order of
court was deliberately designed in the in
terest of the public to prolong the regu-
lar term, if needed, and to afford special
terms without limitation in lieu of regu-
lar terms lapsed, and in furtherance of
justice.
It must also be presumed nationally
that the Legislature in attaching by Sec
tion $50 a condition to the authority to
hold special terms, contem plated an actual
and not a constructive conflict, and did
not design that term being held should
be annulled by one that could not be held.
Section 2, chapter 81, of the statutes Of
1898, required the respective counties to
provide for the expenses of their district
courts, and practically inhibits terms in
counties in which there are no funds. 1t
is experience that frequent consequence
of this system has been the impossibility
to hold courts in some of the counties at
the time fixed by statute, and, as it is
rule of Law that public officers are pre-
sumed to perform their official duties,
and no court was held in San Juan on the
3rd of April, 1895, it can be legitimately
concluded that there were no funds for
term there, and that the Judge of the dis
trict, with knowledge of this deficiency,
appointed special term in Santa Fe,
with the intention and expectation that
it would be continued as long as required
in the furtherance of justice. 1t is not
conceivable that court allowed by law
and In session could be terminated by
term not only not in esse, but that could
not exist-the one was court in fact,
the other court by construction only,
and between them there could not be a
practical conflict.
1t seems, therefore, that the territorial
statute sustained the judge in convening
the special term, and in continuing it be-
yond the times fixed for the regular
terms for the counties of San Juan, Rio
Arriba and Taos, for the spring of the
year 1895.

AS to Jurisdiction.

Next is the impeachment of the indict-
ment as not containing the essential
averments to confer Jurisdiction upon
the trial court. It is contended that the
allegation that Francisco Chavez instant
" died of the mortal wounds inflicted upon
him by the plaintiffs in error does not with
sufficient distinctness specify the time
and place of his death to establish the
charge that he died in the county of Santa
Fe within year and day from the date
of the killing.
It is difficult to conceive that an in
stant consequence of an act does not ex.
clude conception Of delay in its occur
renee, and does not constrain the con-
clusion that it was effected on the spot,
at the place where it was caused. If a
deed produces results the moment it is
done, they must happen where it was
done. Fire applied to powder produces
instantaneous explosion, and no doubt of
the time and place Of the event is pos
sible. There being no intervention of
time between the cause and the effect,
there can be no question as to the place,
where the latter ensued from the former.
That the accused were apprised that
they were on trial for the murder of Fran
cisco Chavez on the night of the Goth of
May, 1892, in the county of Santa Fe;
that it was proved that Francisco Chavez
was killed then and there; that the &C.
cused admitted that they we're then in the
county of Santa Fe; that they defended
themselves against the charge of having
murdered Francisco Chavez on the night
Of the goth of May, 1892, by their alibi,
claiming that they we're not at the place
{ of the killing on said Goth of May, 1892
and that their acquittal would have pro.
tected them against a second prosecution
for the same crime (see O. Z. sec. 675)
ore facts that can not be controverted
and effectually dispose of the pretension
that the phraseolcgy Of the instrument
upon which they were arraigned and
tried, Was not sufficiently specific to. in
dicate the venue Of the alleged offense
Many authorities have been submitted to
sustain the contention that venue snd
time are not legally laid BY the averment
of instant death; that it does not exclude
the possibility Of the death a year and q
day out of the Jurisdiction, where ani
after the wounds we're given, but, with
due respect for the tribunals that have &C
adjudicated, we can but regard their con
illusions 40 tending to contract the natu
raj import Of language, and strain IL fron
its substantial signifcation.

The defendants created the connection

court say: "In this instance the accused,

We will now consider the objection
to the courts action in the admission
and rejection of testimony. One Juan
Gallegos, by his own admission an ac-
complice in the conspiracy to take the
life of Francisco Chavez, represented that
he was approached by one Hipolito Vi
gil with proposition to assassinate the
said Chavez; that the details of the pro-
jected crime were discussed between him,
the said Vigil, and one of the accused,
Francisco Gonzales = Borrego; that they
informed him that Antonio Gonzales y
