LANCASTER DAILY INTELLIGENCER MONDAY MAY 8-1882. Lancaster utrlliaencet. MONDAY EVENING, MAY 8, 1882. The Irish Assassinations. Upen the surface it seems difficult te understand the assassination of Lord Cavendish, who was sent te Ireland by Gladstone in pursuance of the new policy of conciliation which has received the approval of the leaders of the Irish party. These leaders are unanimous in condem nation of the murder, net only because it was murder, but became it was im politic and hurtful te the cause. They declare that it is the severest blew that Ireland could have received in this mo ment when the English government has concluded te, make great concessions for the sake of settling peacefully its diffi culties with the Irish people. There can be no doubt of the sincerity of the regret of the leaders of the Land League ; but it is just as clear that there must be an ether element in Ireland which approves the assassinations that have startled the world ; otherwise they would net have been perpetrated ; for they were done deliberately and ferociously. In bread daylight, in a public park, four men drive up in an Irish cart, leap out, at tack and stab te deatli two gentlemen' ascend into their vehicle and drive away. There were onlookers, but they thought it a drunken brawl. Evidently there was nothing of accident in the crime. Cavendish and Burke were certainly killed because they were obnoxious te their slayers as the represenatives of England. Lord Cavendish at least had given no occasion for enmity, since he had just been appointed te his office, and previously had had no connection with Irish affairs. As his assassination was apparently se unprovoked and se inimi cal te the interests of Ireland as understood by the Land League leaders, it would seem clear that he was slain by these who were opposed te the establishment of friendly relations between Encland and Ireland. It is hardly te be suspected that any English man would carry his hatred of Ireland se far as te murder Englishmen appoint ed te rule it, with intent te aroute Eng lish prejudice against the Irish people as the supposed perpetrators of the crime. The mere natural conclusion, by far, is that there are these ameDg the Irish who are opposed te any peaceful settle ment of their troubles with England, anil who are determined te reject cences sien that falls short of Irish independ ence. And we understand that an organization representing just such a feeling exists in the Fenian society, which lias been little heard of lately since il has been working in concert with the Land League and under the direction of its leaders. The act which has just shocked the world may net have been commanded by Fenian leaders, but it is pretty evident that it was the result of Fenian feeling and the act of individ uals of the society. They no doubt think that they arc patriots; whereas they are only feels. The Irish people cannot move a step without the sympathy of the world, and they will never get that by the assassination of the men who are seeking te satisfy their demands. The hope of Irish independence, any way, is the hope only of a feel ; for no man of ordinary sense can suppose that Ireland can conquer England ; and only when that is done can Irish independ ence be realized, for the simple and con clusive reason that England cannot afford te permit it. It is net te her interest ; and interest is the sole spur of nations. If the Fenian society,or Fenian feeling has prompted this crime, it will seen be known ; and that will be the end of Fenianism. There are dregs te every popular movement ; and the brutes who see in murder their most effective weapon are the refuse among the Irish patriots who arc striving te batter the political and social slate of their people. When these savages are subdued we may hope that Irish outrages will cease and Irish prosperity dawn under the wise and mutual concession of the English and Irish people. Until Fenianism, accept ing murder as its weapon, is extirpated Ireland will be and ought te be held under the iron heel of English power. The Supreme t'enri. The committee of the Bar association, which has been considering a method of relief for the United ."States supreme ceuit, that will enable it te get through its accumulating business, lias net been able te agree upon a report. Twe plans are strongly advocated ; one dividing the supreme court into two or mere ceurtsj with power te refer cases argued before them te the whole court when they de sire, and the ether erecting intermediate courts with final powers of decision in certain classes of cases. Either method might accomplish the object; but a com bination of both may perhaps be neces sary. The cases are accumulating en the docket se rapidly that it will net be long before some means will have te be adopted of cutting down the num ler that reach there. But se long as this is unnecessary ic would seem better that it should net be resorted te. If the supreme court sits in three parts, each part making final decision in the cases in which the judges are unanimous, while referring te the full court the deci sion of such cases about which there may be a difference, it would seem that at least double the number of cases at present heard could be disposed of. Something needs te be done ; for it is a shame that justice is se tardily rendered as it new necessarily is in the supreme court. It would take three years te clear the supreme court docket, as it new is, with out the addition of any nev cases ; and every year mere new cases are added than the number of old cases disposed of. Se that yearly the court is getting farther behind hand, and it is only a question of time when a man's case can be reached dining his lifetime. Of late years the business of the court has grown very much. Prier te 1847 the number of cases yearly did net exceed two hundred. In 1S58 they reached three hundred. In 1870 ever six hundred were en the docket. In 1875 nearly a thousand; inl878eleven hundred ; while new the number aggre gates twelve hundred. Senater Davis has a bill pending in the Senate te re lieve the court, and is interesting him self very much in its passage. He ought te knew enough of the subject, having been en the court himself, te devise an eScient measure for its relief. The question seems simple enough, and it ought net te require very great sagacity te find a proper remedy for a certain evil. In Metaerlam. The angel of death has descended among us and taken away one of our best beloved. After an illness lasting through two months, that had come te be considered serious but which was net ttieught desperate te the last day, suddenly the silver cord was loosed and in the twilight, hour of Saturday the soul of Mrs. Emily Hensel winged its way te heaven. But she has left behind her the sweetness of her presence ; while memory lasts the fragrance of her gentle spirit will linger in all the places that have known her here. The bowl is broken ; the flesh is gene ; but the sweet odor of "her loveliness still remains te these who knew her and loved her. Par beyond the limits of her family is the circle of these who mourn her. A young woman and a young wife, she was at the threshold of life ; but it is net. tee much te say that no death could have occurred in our midst that would have made a profeuuder im pression upon the sympathy of the com munity. The sorely stricken husband has at least this consolation in his sor row that they are very many who sor row with him. They mourn for her net only for the less they suffer, but because they knew her te be one te have done great geed in the world ; and the decree of Ged which has taken her away from her usefulness seems quite inscrutable. She was mere than gentle and lovely ; she was wise and strong and noble. Her judgment was geed, her heart generous and her influence great. She has gene ;' but her bright character remains as an exemplar te these who have basked in its sunlight and were ever better for it. The Heuse committee en civil service reform has agreed upon a bill elevating the department of agriculture te :i cabinet office. The Heuse has adopted a resolution permitting the contestant in the Alabama contested case of Matsen vs. Oatcs te withdraw his papers. This leaves Mr. Oatcs in possession of the scat.

He still loves a geed horse, he sees no reason why a Christian should net take the conceit out of a man who has a slower horse, and he believes that racing is a nccessaiy incen tive te the extreme improvement of bleed and training in the trotting horse. Evi dently religion has net disturbed the nor. mal Jcvcl of the colonel's head. Wiiaktejj Barker's American analyzes the recent declarations of the recent Stal wart Independent conference and asserts that Quay and his colleagues in signing them strike their chief a direct cut across the face: "Unless the representatives of Mr. Cooper who signed the declarations sincerely intend te change the ' machine' methods of Pennsylvania Republicanism, and se te overthrew the 'boss' system which new controls the state, they should at en co announce the withdrawal of their signatures from the document of May 1st. It hinds them te the work of reform, or it stamps them as dishonest feigners." Socially Gen. Mahene has always been the most ambitious man that ever walked. Of all the kicks he has received, the one that did most te send him into the Repub lican paity was when Virginia society showed him the deer, ami the people whom he had wined and dined and by whom he had been invited te their big parties and left out of their Htt!e ones, reminded him that although he could run Msc polit pelit cal machine, the social machine was be yond him. Ne doubt it would have been a greater triumph for him te have one of these very men, whom politically he has for a time defeated, ceme up and recegniz;; him, than twice the fawning he has received from the Republicans. He is habitually nervous and ill at ease, in gen eral society ; while his big, placid wife stands by "his side, gorgeuesly dressed, gushed ever by one-half the company and silently ignored by the ether. Of all the screaming absurdities a so cial cynic can see at a presidential levee, the position occupied by Bruce, the color ed ex-senator and present register of the treasury, and his wife, is described as the most farcical. The male element of the Republican party nod te Bruce, sometimes in a condescending way which is meant te be friendly, and again, with a surrep titious glance around te see if anybody is looking. The Republican ladies hauging en their arms are purblind te Bruce and stoneblind te his wife, aud skurry away from her like lightning. They dare net, for their lives, speak a civil word te either. The Southerners en the contrary speak te them in a geed humored way, as much as te say, ' Well, hew de you like yourself in your new station ?" Occasion ally, a Southern woman audaciously gees up, is introduced te them, and after talk ing for a few moments te them gees hack te her coterie te say, "Actually, my dear, I have talked te a darky in a drawing room. Yeu don't knew hew queer it seemed !" Dropped Dead In the street. Mrs. Themas Oonrey dropped en the street at Trey, N. Y., en Friday after noon. She arose from her bed en Thurs day night and.disappeared without ber bus baud's knowledge and was returning home from her strange absence when she died. Jehn Clancy, aged 55 years, residing at 236 North Juniper street,died at the Penn sylvania hospital, Philadelphia, en Satur day. While smoking a clay pipe he fell te the fleer and the stem was driven through the reef of his mouth, causing hemorrhage, from which he died. PEBEONAL. Bradlaugh declines an offer of $10,000 te come te America as a lecturer. Mr. Eirensex left a fortune of some thing like $300,000. Mrs. Elizabeth CadyStaxtex expects te go te Europe seen, te be gene two years. Lex Merris, founder of the Merris Brethers' minstrels, died in New Yerk of consumption, aged fifty-three. A daughter of Gen. McClellax has been the reigning belle at Old Point Com Com eort this season. Princess Victeria, wife of the Crown Prince Frederick William, has been safely delivered of a son. Mr. French, the sculptor at Concord, Mass., is making a Garfield bust, at a cost of $1,200, for the hall of the Natieual col lege of deaf mutes at Washington. Minister Taft seems te think that- he is geed in Austria for the remainder of the Arthur administration. He advertises his house te rent for three years. The" will of the late Mrs. Edwin Beeth, just made public, gives the personal ef fects te her mother and all ether property, real or personal, te her husband. War. H. Vanderbilt, accompanied by his two sons (Geerge W. and J. H.), sailed from New Yerk for Eurepe en Sat urday. Mrs. W. Ely, daughter of Majer Rebert Davis, ene of the original " Bosten Tea Party," died yesterday in Hartferd, Cen necticut, in the lust year et ner age. J. T. Power has resigned the office of clerk of the treasury department. E. B. Jascam, chief of the public moneys di vision, lias eeen assigned te temporary duty as chief clerk. JesEru Eldridge, head of the Geshen Orthodox Friends' meeting, has died in West Chester aged 91 years. At the time of his death he was preparing fer the cel ebration, in a few days, of the G8th anni versary of his wedding. Miss Cary appeared at the festival con cert iu New Yerk Saturday afternoon, for the first time. She sang the duet from the "Favorita" with Galassi with great effect and was cheered te the echo. The festival closed Saturday night with Liszt's " Dante " symphony, an act of Berlioz's "Troyens" and a chorus- from the ' Mcistersinger." The newspaper corespendents commend the taste of Mrs. Frelincuuvsen in the matter of dress. At the president's last reception she wero a curious looking black meire, . and white roses in her hair. Generally, plain and elderly women wear pale pink, lace and rosebuds, which affords room for the irreverent te scoff, but Mrs. Frcliughuysen, being undeniably both plain aud elderly, wears costumes which make her respect able instead of ridiculous. Lord Frederick Cavendish, whose foul assassination in Ireland en Saturday has carried dismay te peace-loving people the world ever, visited in Philadelphia about twenty years age, in company with Lord Richard Grosvcner and Hen.Evelyn Ashley. They have all since held prominent posi tions in British politics, Ashley being at E resent parliamentary secretary te the eard of trade. Grosvcner patronage lord of the treasury, and Cavendish, new mur dered en the threshold of his career as chief secretary for Ireland, has been finan cial lord of the treasury all of them in parliament, and all mere or less indentificd with the Gladstone ministry. T11K JEANNKTTK'S DEAD. Ne Hepe for Lieutenant Clilpp The Redgcrg' Crew Safe. Ne additional particulars concerning the fate of Lieutenant De Leng and party have been received. The navy department officials have little or no hepe of the res cue of Chipp's party. Engiueer Melville, in his last dispatch te the department, said he had no doubt that they had all perished, but he would use every effort te recover their bodies. The general impres sion is that Chipp's beat capsized in the gale that separated the three beats and that all hands were drowned. The follow ing is a correct list of the De Leng party, according te the records found in a hut by Mclville : Lieutenant De Leng, Surgeon Ambler, J. J. Cellins, A. Gartz, Ah Sam, Alexy, H. H. Keck, J. W. Boyd, W. Lee, N. Iversen aud A. Dressier. There wcre originally fourteen men in De Leug's party. Of these Noies and Nindermau are safe and Ericksen died and was buried iu the Lena. It new appears that the telegram sent by Minister Heffman regarding the less of the Redgeis was misinterpreted. Instead of thirty lives lest it reads that the vessel was lest November 30, and that no lives were lest. The yacht Kara of eighty-fivc tens bur den, belonging te Sir Henry Gere Beeth, is taking iu store at Londen preparatory te" proceeding te the Pelar regions. Sir Henry Gore Beeth will render every as sistance in his power te the Leigh Smith search expedition. Court Heuse Duriied in Pittsburgh. Fire breke out in the large new court house at Pittsburgh shortly alter neon yes terday, and in a few hours nothing but the bare walls were left standing. The jail is attached te the burned building, and intense excitement existed for soine time in reference te the safety of the pris oners, but the building was net harmed, aud the prisoners wcre net aware of the ' lire. Nearly all of the records aud the books in "the law library were saved. Harry McDermott, a grandson of Jury Commissioner Uegan, was killed by fall ing glass, while endeavoring te save seme papers in the jury commissioner's office, and several firemen were badly injured by the falling debris. The building origi nally cost about $200,000, and many thou sands have been added in the way of im provements. The insurance en the burned portions is $50,000. Tlie Stress et Weather. A severe storm, accompanied by thunder, lightning and hail, passed ever southern Illinois en Friday night, doing much damage.. It was feared at Vaudalia that the streams would Heed the farm bottoms. At Marshall the farms wcre Heeded for the fifth time this year. Snow fell at Easten, and ether points in this state, en Saturday, the storm lasting an hour, but no damage was done te the fruit trees.

Parnell, Dillen ana Davits JbWM a Manifesto Denouncing; the Aswlwtlwn Tletvs et the UadtMCM tenders. The following has been issued" by the Irish leaders : Te the People of Ireland : On the eve of what seemed a bright future for our country that evil destiny which has apparently pursued us for cen turies has struck at our hopes another blew which cannot be exaggerated in its disastrous consequences. In this hour of sorrowful gloom we venture te give ex pression te our profoundest sympathy with the people of Ireland in the calamity that has befallen our cause through this horrible deed, and with these who deter mined at the last hour that a policy of conciliation should supplant that of ter rerism and national distrust, wc earn estly hope that the attitude and action of the Irish people will show te the world that an assassination such as has startled us almost te the abandonment of hope of our country's future is deeply and lelig lelig ieusly abhorrent te their every feeling and instinct. We appeal te you te show by every manner of expression that, amidst the universal feeling of horror which the assassination has excited, no people feel se deep a detestation of its atrocity or se deep a sympathy with these whose hearts must be scared by it as the nation upon whose prosperity aud reviving nepe it may entail consequences mere ruinous than theso that have fallen te the let of unhappy Ireland during the present gener ation. We feel.that no act that has ever been perpetrated in our country during the ex- citing struggles of the past fifty years, has se stained the name of hospitable Ireland as this cowardly and unprovoked assassin ation of a friendly stranger, and that until the murderers of Cavendish and Burke are brought te justice that stain will sully our country's name. Charles S. Parnell, Jehn Dillen, Michael Davitt. All the Irish members heard from con cur in this declaration. Reporters have had interviews with Mr. Parnell and Mr. Davitt upon the subject of the assassination. Mr. Parnell said : "lam horrified mere than I can express. This is one of the most atrocious crimes ever committed. Its cflccts must be most damaging te the interests of the Irish people. I have always found Lord Fred erick Cavendish a most amiable gentleman and strictly conscientious in the fulfilment of his official duties. I did net share the disappointment expressed in Liberal Irish circles regarding his appointment, as I anticipated that the principal reforms during tha piesent session, such as the amendment of the laud act, would be under Mr. Gladstone's personal supervi sion, and I bclieved that administrative reforms would be somewhat postponed. I cannot conccive that any section of the people of Ireland could have plotted de liberately against the life of Lord Freder ick, and I am surprised that the Dublin police, who had been able te protect Mr. Ferster, should apparently net have taken any steps te watch ever his successor dur ing the few hours of bis official life in Ire laud. There seems te he an unhappy destiny presiding ever Ireland, which always comes, at a moment when there seems some chance for the country, te de stroy the hopes of her bast friends. I hepe the people of Ireland will take immediate and practical steps te express their sym pathy with Mr. Gladstone in his most painful position." Mr. Davitt said : "Ne language I can possibly command can express the horror with which I regard the muidcrs or my despair of their consequences. When I heard of them en Saturday night I could net credit the news. I grieve te think that when the government had just run a risk in introducing a new policy, when, everything seemed bright and hopeful ; when all expected the outrages te cease this terrible event should dash our hopes. I wish te Ged I had never left Portland. The crime was without motive. It is net only the most fatal blew that has ever been struck at the Land League, but ene of the most disastrous blows which have been sustained by the national cause dur ing the last century. Its occurrence at this particular juncture seems like a ter rible destiny. My only hepe is that the assassins may be discovered and punished as murderers. It is wonderful hew the outrage could occur a few hundred yards of the constable depot." Dispatches from all parts of the country, aud from England and Ireland express de testation of the Irish assassinations. The newspaper press is unanimous in pro nouncing the crime most unfortnnate for Ireland and its character and consequen ces. Iu many places the local Laud Leagues have adopted resolutions repudi ating and denouncing the outrage. Net a contrary opinion has yet been heard from any source. The general feeling among Irishmen of all classes, and among ethers, is ene of indignation aud horror at the brutal murder of the English officials in Ireland. The Release et Mlcliael Davitt. When Governer Cliften announced the couditien of the release of Mr. Davitt the latter promptly told that official that he would treat the conditions of ticket-of-Icave with contempt, and rcfuse te leave the prison until he had consulted Messrs. Parnell, Dillen and O'Kelly, who traveled from Louden te welcome him back te liberty. Davitt leeks younger and mere vigorous than when he was arrested, and expresses his belief that the government by arresting him has saved his life. He returned te Londen with Messrs. Parnell, Dillen aud O'Kelly. On the morning of his release he had completed his fifteenth month of imprison ment since his re-arrest, making a com plete record of 9 years and 10 months spent in English jails for political causes. There have been hostile manifestations in Londen against Mr. Davitt and several of the released suspect?. One respectably dressed person had te be forcibly removed from the hotel. These manifestations are merely an index of public feeling. Nothing serious has occurred. Conversation in public resorts generally is in favor of seme kind of martial law. Who are the Christians. Parson Tayler, the noted Methodist preacher, enee said : " send Emersen te hell ? Why, he would alter the climate and turn the tide of emigration that way." The New Yerk Sun explains "that Mr. Emersen and Mr. Longfellow wcre un believers in the Christian religion. The es sence of belief in the Christian religion is belief in the Deity of the Lord ' Jesus Christ. Without the Godhead of the Christ, there is no real Christianity. It is true there is a sort of doctrine which many people fancy te be Christian, pnd accord ing te this dectrine Jesus Christ was net Ged, but a creature, a man or a created being somewhat superior te man. But this is net the doctrine of the Christian religion. It is a fee of Christianity. It is a station en the bread read te total unbe lief, te infidelity. This sort of doctrine we understand te have been the doctrine of Emersen and Longfellow, They were Unitarians. They were net believers in the Christian religion. M Disastrous Fire at Smethport. A fire breke out at Smethport, McKean county, this morning, which destroyed the Bennett house, Hamlin's bank and Has kell's dry goods steie, three of the prin cipal business buildings in the village. The flames raged with violence and it was impossible te check them until the build ings named had been burned, involving a less of about $10,000. CEIME AND DISASTEE. A CVCLE OF TRAGIC OCCURRENCES. De&th In Various Ferm The Trail or Uloea and the Victims of Misfortune Mur der and Suicide lu Kansas. Au old German farmer named Rebert Bechter and his wife, living near Leena, Kansas, had led very unhappy lives dur ing the past few years and for upward of six years qurrels had occurred almost daily. Their son en Saturday went te town and upon returning found his father dead aud his mother dying from bullet wounds from a revolver. The woman left a letter saying that she had shot her husband be cause he intended te disinherit the son, and she preferred that both should die that the son might enjoy the property un disturbed. Marshals Accused of Jlurrter. The Tucson. Arizona, Star denounces the president's cow-boys proclamation as uncalled for and based en malicious mis representations, and concludes as fellows : " The origin of this scandalous proclama tion is simply this : A band of deputy United States marshals has engaged in the most wanton and criminal practices under color of their official authority. They murdered innocent people and when the sheriff of the county in which their crimes were committed sought te arrest them they interposed their official position and resisted the execution of the law. These arc the facts." Death en the Rail. Martin McHale, a section boss en the Cincinnati Southern railway, was run ever by a train at Chattanooga, Teen., en Satur day and was killed. William Thompson, a milkman, was struck by a railroad train at Waltham, Mass.. en Saturday, and fatally injured, and Bertie Hildrcth, a lad of 12 years, was killed.

LOCAL INTELLIGENCE. MISSION AT ST. ANTnONVS. One Uuurtred and Twenty.-flve Xcw mem bers Confirmed. The mission which began at St. An An teony's Catholic church en the 30th ult. and closed last evening, was a very large and important ene. It was conducted by Rev.

The ceremonies closed with the benediction of the Blessed Sacrament, given by Bishop Shanahan. The music by the choir during the mission is deserving of especial mention as being exceptionally fine " O S.ilntaris," sung by Mr. Drachhar, being quite a gem. The rev. fathers who conducted the mission wen golden opinions from the parishioners of St. Authony's during their stay, and Father Kaul, the pastor, is te be congratulated en the large increase et membership added te his church.

THE COUNTY AUDITORS. The Ucard Reerganised Examination et Squire f rank, ex Columbia. This morning the beard of auditors assembled in the Orphans' court room. All the members were present, including Jeseph H. Clarksen, appointed by the court en Saturday te 11 the vacancy caused by the sudden death of Jehn K. Reed, president. The beard organized by the election of B. M. Greider president. Mr. Clarksen, who was clerk of the beaid, stated that he would continue te perform the duties of clerk for the balance of the year without cost te the county. The examination of Squire Frank, of Columbia, was resumed. Mr. Lightner, of the beard, said te him, "We find hore that one Brady is prosecutor befere you in 239 cases during the past year ; that Fisher is prosecutor in 164. cases, Fred Struck iu 123 cases, and Gee. A. Lylc 57 cases in all a total of 5S3 cases, out of S9e cases, nearly all of which were for drunken aud disorderly conduct, or for assault and battery." Squire Frank answered that the above named complainants were constables of Columbia. Squire Frank's attention being called te his very large number of dismissed cases, explained that if the accused had been imprisoned, or the cases returned te court, the costs te the county would have been much lamer $2.95 for the constable and about $2.00 for the alderman, while if they were net sent out there were no costs except for complaint?, snbpcenas and war rants. Mr. Greider asked the squire hew it happened that officers made se many com plaints that there was nothing in. The squire answered that he did net knew ; the complaints were made, and he investigated them, and if there was noth ing in them he discharged the accused. Mr. Greider said that during the month of November last Officer Stuck had made 55 complaints, all of which were dismissed, While he did net care te object te the squire's manner of doing business, he did object te ceutables swearing te complaints that they wcre net able te es tablish. He then called the squiie's at tention te a case of assault and battery in which nine witnesses were called and the case dismissed. The squire explained that that was a woman's case, and when they get at it they didn't knew when te step. The squire's attention was next called te fact that he had charged for a number of recegnizances never taken by him. He explained that when a prosecutor made a complaint and signed it, he (the squire) considered his signature equivalent ler his appearance for a hearing ! If the case is returned te court he makes a separate 10 10 cegnizancc. Mr. Greider Arc net a gieat many of these cases in which officers are the pros ecutors, these of peer peeple who apply at the station house for a night's lodging, aud against whom seme imaginary com plaints are trumped up by the officers'? A. I don't knew anything about the complaints until I hear them. If there is a case azainst a prisoner I send him te Lancaster ; if there is net, I discharge him. '! Mr. Kreider Dees net' Officer Stuck send out his sons te gather in peer peeple against whom some charge is tramped up for the purpose of making fees? A. I de net knew that he docs. I knew that peer peeple very often call en me for help, and that I feed them and charge nothing for se doing. Mr. Clarksen De ydu ever inquire into the facts of the case before you lake au officer's complaint ? A. Ne. Mr. Greider Iu the month of June you had 19 cases which you dismissed without a hearing, llew is that 'i There was a hearing iu each case, but there wcre no subpoenas issued and no witnesses heard except the officer. Squire Frank's attention was next called te the fact that some of the footings of his bill were incorrect. He explained that he made or caused te be made the foetiuss in lead pencil, expectiug,that the solicitor or commissiencis would verifyf' the addi tions. He did this se that if any'iterns in his bills were stricken out, the correct totals could be made in ink before the bill was allowed.

Soen afterwards he was seen te emerge from the hotel iu company with Belle IVmtz, and started down the street with her. Some body had notified Mrs. Titus, whose resi dence is net far oil, that her husband and Belle wcie at the hotel together. Mrs. Titus kept a watch en them, and they came out of the house. She called te her husband te ceme home with her. He told her te go home and he would seen be there. She, however, came up te him aud implored him te come home. A rather angry conversation followed, in which Mr. and Mrs. Titus and Bclle took part. This attracted the attention of Frank Ruth, who joined the party and passed some very uncomplimentary remarks about Belle Pentz, who resented the af front by committing a vigorous assault upon him. He demanded her immediate arrest, but Titus refused te arrest her. Ruth then went te Alderman McCopemy's and made complaint of assault aud bat tery against her, and she was arrested by Officer Ilcrr, but gave bail for a hearing. It is said that she aftc wards ' raised Cain" in the- neighborhood, and assaulted ene or two persons ; also that there was something of a circus at the Titus resi dence.
