MORE ARRESTS IN scREvEN.
Two Friends of the ZeigIers Hauled
Up for HarbOring Them.

Up for HarbOring Them.
sylvania, Ca, May 29.-Willie and Frank
Getzinger were arrested at Zeigler sta
ton this afternoon by Detectives Frank
Morris and Beauregard Jenkins and
brought into Sylvan!a on the train. They
are charged with harboring and defend
ing the Zeigler boys. The Getzingers are
brothers and both young men. They do
a mercantile business at Zeigler station.
The detectives say that Frank Getzinger
pointed a shotgun when ordered to give
himself M but lowered il when a pistol
was pointed at him. Getzinger denies
that he drew the gun, but passengers
on the train say that things We're right
lively in the store for a few moments.
When brought to Sylvania they gave
bonds and were released.
A pistol was found concealed on Willie
Getzinger, and al the special term Of
the county court, held tonight, he plead
ed guilty to carrying concealed weapons
and was fined $50 and costs, which he
paid.
Getzinger made a statement, in which
he said he was postmaster at Zeigler
and had the pistol as protection when
The Peoples Press, the populist paper
here in an editorial commends the Zeig-
lers very highly for being such good and
law abiding citizens as to give themselves
months. 1t denies that the detectives had
anything to do with their surrender; calls
the lOFIncf blOOO- LlAISly money hunters
and says they can now shake the dust Of
Gcreven off their feet as they are not need
ed here. 1t seems though that Morris and
his crowd think they are needed a little
longer, and under the $3.50 proclamation
of Gov. Atkinson, intend to bring in a
few accessories in the Zeigler case.
In passing the sentence on Getzinger to-
night, Judge Kittles said there had been a
reign of terror in Scriven county for sew
en- months, and it was due in a great part
he thought to the carrying of concealed
weapons. Screven county, he said, was the
only portion of the civilized world where
the law could nor be enforced.

OVER THE ATLANTIC
LATE SESSION OF PARLIAMENT
NOT FAvoRABLy REGARDED.
Purisinns Getting Ready to Make
the Car at Home While I'm the
French Capital.

London, Aug. 16.-The tone of the con-
servative press In commenting on the
results of the session of parliament, just
closed. is sorrowfui, ratnei tnan exultant.
while the liberal papers contrast with a
great deal of JUNCTION the formidable list
of measures proposed and the few which
have become laws. The Times, for in
stance, opened its retrospect with these
words:
THE loss of the chief measure of the
year throws a shadow of disappointment
over the session"
The Speaker. radical. sums up the ses-
sion as being a disastrous failure.
1t is learned that the release of the
Irish political prisoners is due to Healy's
support of the Irish land bill.
Advices received here from Christiana
indicate that King Oscar has made him
self very unpopular with the Norwegians
during the tour of the country just COM
pleted. During the singing of the ma
tional anthem, King Oscar noticed
peasant who had inadvertently omitted
to don his hat. The king called the man
to him and knocked off his hat, exclaim-
ing. Hats off," When driving at Ter
ondhjem an enthusiastic crowd welcomed
the king and showered bouquets into his
carriage. Some of them happened to
strike him, and his majesty angrily stop
ped the carriage and ordered the bouquet
throwing to cease. He also hurled back
several bouquets which fell into the car
riage. The Norwegians were greatly dis
pleased at these incidents, and the lib
erals give great prominence to them.
The car will leave st. Petersburg in
| November for an European tour, which
| will include Paris. President Faure md
his wife will go to Chesbeorough and en-
bark on the ironclad Dupuy de Lome in
order to meet the car in the channel.
The French government offered him the
first floor of the foreign ministry which
was to be lavishly upholstered, but the
car declined, preferring to stop at the
Russian embassy, on the plea that he
had to transact affairs of the empire on
Russian soil. The czar's visit to Paris
will last a week. The program of fetes
has not yet been decided upon but viii
include a grand banquet and reception
at the Elysee palace, a gala performance
at the opera, Nominations and big re
view of the troops. The French newspa
pers promise to present the car with
magnificent sword of honor.

, lieved, that the Bulgarian cabinet ha

World says that the Canadian delegates
to the Irish Pacific conference. to be
held in Dublin. have decided that Hon.
Edward Blake should be chosen as lead
er and consolidator of the different Irish
factions now represented in the parlla-
ment at Westminster.
A leading Can@uian says the feeling at
home is bitter between the McCartheyites
and Parnellites and other sections of the
home rule party. On this account a leader
should be chosen outside the ranks of
the Irishmen proper. Hon. Mr.. Costigan,
Archbishop Walsh and other notables are
said to favor Blake as leader for the
Irish parliamentary party.
