THE IRISH GOLD RELICS
Now in British Museum Will Probably
Remain There.

New York, March 30-The remark
able case of the Irish gold ornaments
will soon come up for a hearing in the
law courts, according. to a dispatch
from London to the Tribune.
These relics were plowed up on some
land in the northwest of Ireland in 1896
by farm laborer and after passing
through several hands We're sold to the
British Museums for $500. All efforts
to reclaim them for Ireland have proved
unavailing, the authorities at Blooms
bury being precluded by statute from
parting with any once acquired.
The government law officers say the
articles are treasure troVe and there
fore belong to the crown, but the trus-
tees of the rnuseum reply that within
living memory the sea has burst over
the land upon which the objects We're
found and probably at the date on
which they belonged the sea extended
much further inland.
The relics include collar with an Or
nament of Celtic character in relief, a
twisted collar Of solid wire, two neck
chains. a bowl and a model Of a boat
with oars.

A RUNNING FIGHT
Between a Negro and Two Nor
wood, R. |. Men.
Negro Caught Stealing Goods and Is
Shot, Very Soon Dying.
Murder Charged Against Man Whose
Bullet Caused Death.

Norwood, r. l., March .3O.-In a run
ming fight at the farm of w. H. Earl
here, early today, Henry Cole, a negro,
was shot and killed while be was in
the act of stealing a quantity of pro-
visions. i 'ns.3ih1 h'.tai
Earl and his nephew. Herbert B.
Paine, admit having done the shooting,
but not until an autopsy has been held
can it be determined which one of the
men caused the negro's death. Earl,
who is so years of age, used 81
calibre revolver, while Paine, who is
|26, used one of 2S-calibre.
Earl, who deals in provisions, states
that he has been annoyed recently by
thieves who have looted his barn of
supplies. He installed an automatic
alarm to assist him in capturing the
intruders. About midnight the bell be-
gan to ring, and Earl, accompanied
by Paine, armed themselves and went
out to investigate. No sooner had they
reached the barn door, they assert,
than they detected a man about to de-
part with a quantity of provisions. The
stranger rushed at the men and strik-
ing Paine, felled him.
Both men began firing and before the
robber had reached the confines of the
yard he fell, death resulting in Is min
uteS
1t is not known how many bullets
took effect in the body, nor was it
made plain why five bullet holes were
found in the stable when according
to Earl no shots We're fired until after
the negro attacked them in the yard
while he was attempting to escape.
Cole was 35 years of age and was
at times employed in Providence as a
teamster. '' 'e.'.-
Both Earl and Paine have been taken
into custody and charges will be pre-
ferred against them as soon as the re-
suit of the autopsy places the respon-
sibility for Coles death. .

WINDING lLEpeEs DAM.

Opposed to the Project,

! Fredericton. N. B., March 30.-A
Injecting of the special committee OF

Mr.. Flemming, another member was
called home by urgent bushes.

lumbermen, all from Victoria and
Madawaska counties. Among those
present in opposition to the scheme
were ]. Fraser Gregory ST. John, N.
B., John Kilburn, r. A. Estrey, Donald
Fraser Jr., Parker Glasier, w. T.
Whitehead, MP, A. w. Macrae, st.
John.
]. M. Stevens was first heard. The
scheme. he said, is altogether bust
ness proposition. Among the promot-
ers of the enterprise is United States
Senator Proctor, who, as is well known,
is the prime mover in the project to
erect big pulp and paper mill at
Grand Falls. Prominent and inf1uen-
tial lumbermen on both sides of the
upper st. John are charter members
of the company to build the Winding
Lodges dam.

st. John mill men, was next heard. To
make the matter more clear to the
committee. Mr.. Gregory produced a
map of New Brunswick and he lucidiy
explained the situation of the proposed
dam. He stated that the method of eN-
port from the mouth 6f>$he St. Francis
would be either the Bangor & Aroos-
took Railway or by the Temiscouata
Railway. both of which roads were out
of the province except for few miles.
On the other hand there is continual
labor and expense attached to taking
the logs down the st. John river and
manufacturing or shipping the lumber
from St. John city. 1t costs $685. in
fees, tolls and labor on every 1000 feet
of logs which come down the st. John
river before it is ready for export.
Some 1O0,0O0,000 feet of lumber comes
down the St. John every year, meaning
about $365.0O0 went last year and every
year into the pockets of New Bruns-
wick laborers. &C.
A. E. Hanson stated that he was ia
miliar with the locality affected by the
proposed dam, and from his knowledge
he had no hesitation in saying that the
dam would necessarily retain the logs
which would be disastrous to lumber.

The Pennell inquest was put over
on account of the fact that Attorney
Wallace Thayer is out of town and
will be absent for several days. In
|asmuch as Mr.. Thayer is expected to
be the most important witness in the
case, both Justice Murphy and the dis
trict attorney concluded that it would
be wise to go on with the inquiry un-
til he returns.
Former District Attorney Thomas

not in any one of them is the slightest
information which will throw any light
