 Ireland is entering upon pc riod of ever-increasing prosper ity, according to the report of J. s. Armstrong, American vice. consul at Cork. Mir.

 Great pomp characterized the funeral procession and cere- monies of the late King Leopold at Brussels on Dec. g. Much of the spectacular feature of the procession was destroyed on ac- count of a heavy downpour of rain, but this did not deter the visitors to the city and the citi zens themselves from thronging the sidewalks as the procession passed by. Princess Stephanie rode in closed carriage in the procession. The streets along the route through the city from the palace to the royal cemetery were lined with troops. The force of municipal police was doubled on the strength of ru- mors that the anti-roya.ists in tended to make a hostile demon. st1ation. The report was not borne out by the events, for the crowd observed perfect order and respect throughout the day.

 w. A. Strangman was present as stenographer.
 Charles Chanquist testified that he played seven or eight games of crib bage with Heine, the post baker, and when Heine left he commenced closing up the house. He locked the door and walked back to the billiard table. Then there was knock at the door. When he was in the act of opening the door, and just as it had been slightly drawn back, the first shot was fired. In staggering back he drew the door wide open and saw Barney fire the second shot. The shots dazed him. He crawled out and looked toward the Tower house; thought he saw Barney go into the alley. Don't know how many shots were fired. Thought he was killed and went up stairs and tried to tell Bailey who shot him. Was so dazed he could not remember Barney's name. Bailey asked, Was it Bar ney?" After awhile witness came to himself and remembered more clearly. Was put on a stretcher and taken to the post hospital. Remembered Judge Gallahcr being at the hospital and Barney being there. Remembered say ing there that Barney had shot him. The doctor extracted one bullet from him. .:.~:. ..-.

When he got q light he opened the door and saw MT. Chanquist coming in all bloody. Chanquist said, II am shot; am dy- ing," and went into George Bailey's room. II want to tell you who done it," he said. "Who was it?" Bailey asked. "That man who worked for the Chinaman," said Chanquist. Was it Barney?" said Bailey. "Yes, that is the man," said Chanquist. Chanquist said he knew he was dying and wanted his wife to have half his property and his father half. Witness ran for the deputy marshal. He did not hear the conversation between the deputy mar shal and Chanquist. He heard but two shots.
 Capt. J. J. Donovan, deputy marshal, testified that Chanquist said a man with black eye, named Barney, shot him. Witness arrested Barney. At the post hospital Chanquist identified Barney as the man who shot him. Asked about the bullets-one removed from Chanquist and one found in the wainscoting of the hotel-the witness said they were at his office and was directed to go after them. He exhib- ited the bullets and they were separ- ately sealed and marked exhibits A and B. The bullets had been weighed and were approximately of the same weight. Witness saw Heine, the post baker, playing cribbage with Chan quist previous to the shooting. Heine has since told witness he was just west of Vachon's store and saw man run back into the alley after the shooting.
