i. PREDICTION OF PABKIirS BITEAT
rSCIXL TELEGENIC TO IUI OIRPATCH.!
Lomiok, March 2S. Ccpyrichted.
Parnell will he beaten at North Sligo next
Thursday, and very Jeeishely, too. There
is no doubt about that, according to the re
ports of the special reporters there
and those who know this wild region
best. Of course the priets are tak
ing a leading part in the struggle,
and their support of an anti-Parnellite can
didate is a factor which can scarcely be
overrated. Although the polling takes
place ou Thursday, the result will probably
not be made known until late on Friday aft
ernoon. Defeat in Sligo will not encourage
Parnell to run risks in Cork.
Parnell made a triumphant entry into
Sligo to-day. He was escorted by 50 car
loads of supporters from the rural districts,
armed with blackthorns. He was received
with jeers by the townspeople. Davitt and
his supporters afterward made a counter
display. Tnree hundred police and a
equadron of cavalry were in readiness to pre
vent any collision between the opposing fac
tions. An Assault on Farnell.
Previous to the arrival at Slijo of Davitt
a fight with blackthorn sticks took place on
the steps of the Town Hall. Subsequently
Parnell complained that he had been
assaulted during tde progress of the affray
by one of the residents of the town. The
place was crowded all dav with persons who
bad come- to attend the meetine. Parnell
visited outlying friendly districts in the
morning, with the object of gathering his
supporters together for the purpose of ac
companying him in his formal entry into the
town.
The voting classes here were unmistaka
bly hostile to Parnell. The struggle which
took place on the steps of the Town Hall, in
vlncb Parnell claimed to have been as
saulted, was a contest between the two fac
tions for possession of the hall. Each side
fought fiercely, but the Parnellites, being
assuted by the police, finally overcame their
opponents and victoriously entered the
building.
Dccounclns the Seceders.
"When his friends succeeded in getting in
side the building, Parnell made a speech, in
which he described a "cowardly attack"
which had been made on him by a towos
tnin named McHugh, who, Parnell claimed,
had threatened to "swab the streets with hit
body." The remainder of the speech was
made up of vituperation of the seceders
from bis ranks.
On returning to his hotel Parnell made an
attempt to deliver a speech from one of the
windows, but was compelled to desist, owing
to tne hooting and yelling of a bodv of Mc
Carthyites, who drowned the speaker's
voice.
Davitt received a different reception to
that accorded Parnell, being welcomed to
the towu with the utmost enthusiasm.
Iavitt was not feeling well, and only re
spnded briefly to the greetings of
h s ineeds. He denounced the dicta
torship and what be termed the
sham labor sympathy of Mr. Parnell.
P'avitt was met by Seston, Sbeehy, Vessey,
Knox and Maurice Healy, who acted as a
liodv guard, and escorted him into the town
vlule the Parnell meeting was in progress
at the Town Hall. Following after them
came a crowd, led and encouraged
bv a number of priests and armed
with sticks. A band was waiting for the
Davitt contingent, and joining it, the entire
partv passed through the street to the mar
1 et place, where Thomas Sexton made an
sddress to the people.
An Attack on Healy.
The Parnell meeting at the town hall was
most enthusiastic Parnell was cheered
again and again. He referred, in the course
of his speech, to the attacks that had been
made upon him, alluding to Timotbr
Healy as a "loud-mouthed scoundrel."
He stated that he was satisfied that
he had the support of the people
in this struggle. Colonel Nolan and Joseph
Nolan also addressed the meeting. At the
McCarthyite meeting Sexton declared that
Parnell had no poller, and that they would
have been recreants to the cause of Ireland
had they not supported Gladstone.
During toe day there was a big procession
of voters that started from Ballina for this
town on cars. Parnell went out in the
afternoon to meet the procession and re
entered the town at the head of nearly 1,000 J
voters, preceded by two bands, playing
inspiring airs, and proceeded to the
Town Hall amidst boisterous cheers and
groans. At the Town Hall several rowdies,
evidently opposed to Parnell, tried to create
a disturbance by striking some of the"
paraders Horses on the head with sticks'
The fellows were driven away by the
paraders, who used tneir ash sticks with
preat effect.

Berlin-, March 28. A Government bill,
which is now in course of preparation for
submission to the Landtag, dealing with the
Guelph fund, will bring into publicity the
hidden history of Prince Bismarck's dis
posal pflarge sums. If the Freisinnige party
get a chance the whole secret of the pay
ments to the press and police by Prince
Bismarck's agents, if they were drawn from
the fund, will become a matter of public
account. The Liberal papers are already
trying to trace the payment'.
The Pofidamer Corresponded affirms
that Herr Krueger, Chief of Prince Bis
marck's secret police, received 50,000 marks
from the land. No one suggests that the
Prince used the money for other than polit
ical purposes, but the organ of Herr
Eichter, the Liberal leader, demands that
the ex-Chancellor be held responsible and
becompelled to make restitution for the
350,000 marks given Dr. von Boetticher,
and for other payments drawn from the
fund. The Freissinige Zeilung urges that a
civil process be issued against Prince Bis
marck. The candidate of the Freisinnige party
for the Beicbstag in Geestemunde, finding
no support, has withdrawn, leaving the con
test to Priuce Bisirmrck: and the Socialist
candidate. Nobody donhts that the Prince
will receive a great majority. The warmth
of his reception at Altona and the extent of
the preparations throughout the country lor
the celebration of the seventy sixth anni
versary of his birth Wednesday prove the
popularity of the Prince. The. committee
here have arranged for a torchlight proces
sion in which over 3,000 of tne ex-Chancellor's
adherents desire to appear. The So
ciety ol German Industrials will present the
Prince with a silver table service of im
mense value, designed by the artist Leyden.
The subscription for this was so copious as
to enable the committee to purchase land ad
joining Friedrichsruhe, which will be added
to the Prince's domain.

London, -March' 28. The death of Law
rence Barrett has been the subject of many
regretful remarks, not only in theatrical,
but in other circles as well. It has, how-
ever, served to show the absolute ignorance
of everything connected with the outside

that (he information the French editors
served up for the delectation of their read

American open his eves in wonder, and cer
tainly created ho little amusement in the
American colony. Thus, one of the leading
papers said: "The death is announced from
New York, at the age of 63, of the well
known American actress, Lawrence Bar

woman was fnrther exemplified in the case
of another paper, which said: "Lawrence

BT CABLE TO THE DISPATCH!
London, March 28. After a month of
anxious uncertainty there remains no room
for doubt that Morocco and Algeria will
this ' season be visited by a plague
of locusts. The warning first came
from " Mogador last November, whence
the insects were then advancing in
untold myriads. A spell of cold weather
checked the advance for a time, bnt they
have bow arrived on the coast at Casabl
anca, where they literally carpet the
cronnd. They have even invaded the city
of Morocco, climbing over the walls and in
festing the houses'.
Famine is certain to follow their ravages,
and in Morocco the wretched people are al
ways allowed to die like doc, as they were
12 years ago, when a thousand perished.
Algeria can scarcely escape, for the Arabs
who arrived at Fignig from a village in the
Sahara state they rode on swift dromedaries
for more than CO miles through swarms of
locusts.
The authorities are bestirring themselves,
but the latest and most scientifio measures
have hitherto failed to checK the awful in
vasion, and this vear efforts will in the end
have to be concentrated upon the saving of
lives during the 'famine which must result
from the uuirersal destruction of crops and
every.green thing which the locust, "El
Djerada, the Scourge of the Most High,"
finds on his way.

Y
IFPZCIAL TXLZQBAX TO THE MRFATCH.
Philadelphia, March -28. Jndga
Penrose filed an opinion in the Orphans'
Court this morning dismissing tbe petitions
of the descendants of Benjamin Frankfig,
w.ho claimed the accumulated fund of about
S100.000 held by the city in trust, and
which will now most likely go to erect anor
mal school.
Judge Penrose said in the course of his
opinion:
Had Dr. Franklin been 'a lawyer and no
merely a great statesman and profound philosf
opber, it Is probable that, instead of arbitrarily
specifying 100 years as tbe period for which taa
moneys given to tbe city of Philadelphia
should be accumulated, he would hare meas
ured tbe term by the duration jot a number of
well-selected lives in bcinr, with 21 years, etc.
superadded after their expiration, and in us
have accomplished the same thing without tbe
possibility of a controversy.
Hoped for Lenient Construction.
As a layman, however, he was not aware of
the axiom of tbe rule against perpetuities that
the validity ot future, limitations is determined
by possibilities and not by actual results: or,
perhaps, he may have snpposed that, as the ac
cumulation which waa to precede the actnal
use of the money by the primary object of his
bounty was to be effected through the instru
mentality of what be regarded ascbarlty.be
need have no concern about restrictions which
were popularly believed not to apply to gifts of
this character.
That his views upon this point were not
-wholly without foundation is shown by. tbe
opinion of Chief Justice Gibson in Wltman vs.
Lex, where the bequest of, the celebrated Dr.
Franklin ol money to' be loaned for five years
to young mechanics is referred to as a striking
instance, of a gift for pious and charitable pur
poses by persons ignorant of the piceties of ex
pression necessary to accomplish tbe objects ot
the common law, and who were no; Impressed
with an opinion that it was at all necessary to
consult counsel, it being added that such be
quests have hitherto taken effect without a
question as to their validity.
An Argument Conceded. u
It is argued, however, with" much force, "that
a scheme for increasing the size of the gift by
making loans of small amounts to poor men,
from whbm security was exacted for repayment
with interest! was not mtde a charity either by
the poverty of the borrower-, or byexpressidns 1
of benevolence, and 'that tbe case laws witnm
the Jofaxim, JVbn quod dictum at, ted quod
'factum, en ituptcuur. or Ut mora-.rioi
,pkE3je-4lpoAr Riehani-'hlujseU ! ","8lo"
woras Duiieruo-pansnipsu-"
We may conceda for tbe purpose of this de
cision tbe correctness of the position thus
aken, and it must also be conceded that a con
tingent sift to a non-existent charity, taking
effect at a time beyond the period allowed by
tbe rule against perpetuities, is void; but it by
no means follows that our decree is therefore
to be lu favor of the petitioners.
After quoting at considerable length from
the will, Judge Penrose continued:
The City Did Its Part.
It is an established rule tbat If a testator
leaves a legacy, absolutely as regards his es
tate, but restricts the mode of tbe legatee's en
joyment of it to certain objects for the benefit
of tbe legatee, upon such objects the absolnts
gift remains. The provision for ace umnlatioa
was intended for tbe ultimate benefit of tbe
city of Philadelphia, and when, at tbe request
ot tbe testator, it undertook without present
proQl'or reward to manage tbe sum given and
for a hundred years to carry on a business
wholly outside of its usual functions or muni
cipal powers, it did so only In order that at the
expiration of tbe period it sbould, as bene
ficiary, have the fund and accumulations in
accordance with the stipulations of the will.
If the gift was invalid, tbe fact was just as
apparent when, tbe money was paid bv tbe ex
ecutors, in 1790, as it can be now. It those ft bo
might then have made claim stood bv and suf
fered tbe fund, without suggestion of Invalid
ity, to go tn a trustee, whicb, but for tbe ulti.
mate beneficial enjoyment of the fruits of its
labor, ,
Would Not Have Accepted tho Trust,
neither tbey nor any persons claiming under
them will he permitted -after the sura bas
grown through the acts of tbe trustee and ce
tuique trustee from the insignificant amount of
S5.000.to 5100,000. to assert rights of ownership.
Uhe claimiWnuld have been dismissed if it bad
been made 80 years! ago; it certainly will not be
'-sustained air tne expiration of 100 yeirs, when
tho donee has fully performed the conditions
and is about to have the beneficial enjoyment.
. The city of 'Philadelphia is something more
than a mere legatee; It is a purchaser for value,
or. to speatc more accurately, it has, at the
earnest request of the testator and upon his
promise to pay a certain reward, performed
arduous services. lor his benetl: or gratifica
tion, durins a stipulated time. The contract so
made Is binding upon tbe original promises,
and no less so upon those succeeding to his
estate.
x The petitions are dismissed.
What the Philosopher Wrote.
Tbe following is the portion of Franklin's
will under which tjie petitioners sought to
have the fund distributed among them:
- One thousand pounds are given to the In
habitants of the city of Boston, and JEL.0U0 to
the inhabitant of the city of Phlladelphlajn
trust for tbe uses, intents and purposes men
tioned and declared, viz: That dnring tbe
period of 100 years loans at 5 per cent shall be
made to young artificers, etc.. etc, at tbe end
of tbabtime, assuming tbat tbe plan succeeds
as projected, without interruption, and that the
fund will have reached the sum of 131,000 in
each case, 100,000 shall be applied fur tho
benefit of the cities, respectively, in tbe man
ner recommended, and tbe 31,000 shall, in each
case, be accumulated for another, period of 100
years and finally divided between tbe city and
State Gorcrnmeut in the proportions of 1,000,-
ooo to JE3.0U0.UW.
Bad Confidence In Bis Plan.
After directing the executors to pay the
said sums six months after the testator's
death, the will proceeds as follows:
Considering the accidents to which all human
affairs and projects are snbjectin such a length
of time, 1 have, perhaps, too much flattered
myself with a vain fancy tbat these disposi
tions. If carried into execution. Alii be
continued without Interruption and have tbe
effects pioposed. I bope, however, tbat if tbe
Inhabitants of the two cltlus shall not think fit
to undertake the execution, tbey will, at least,
accept the offer of these donations as a mark
of my good will, a token of my gratitude, and
a testimony of my desire to beU3cfuIto them
after my departure. Iwtsh, indeed, that tbey
may botn undertake to endeavor tbe execution
of the project, because 1 'think that, though
uoforseen difficulties may arise, expedients
will be found to remove them, and the schome
be found practicable. ,,
Some Exigencies Provided For.
It ope ofjthcm accepts the money with the
conditions, and the other refuses, my will is
tbat both sums be given to tbe inhabitants of
tbe city accepting the whole, to be applied to
tbe same purposes anil under tbe same regu
lations directed for the same part; and if both
refuse tbe money, of course, remains in tbe
mass of my estate and is to be disposed of
therewith.
The sum bequeathed to this city has ac
cnniu'ated to about $100, OOP, aqd it. is pro
posed to use it for school purposes. As the

stallion (HambIefonian),tGe stock ot which
is very wild aqd savage. 7,t was unsafe tp

.the only thjng which would intimidate the

WILL TBY THE HYPNOTIC PLEA.
North Dakota May Furnish the First Case of
the Kind in This Country.
Fargo, N. D., Mnroh 28. From certain
facts which have come to light within a
day or so, it is possible that the trial of
Joseph Remington, for the murder of J. T.
Flett at Arthur, may become one of the most
famous iq the United. States. At present it
seems almost a foregone conclusion tbat it
will be impossible to convince any jnry of
his innocence on tbe ground of insanity or
any common pies', hence it is almost a set
tled fact that tbe defense will be of the same
line as In the trial qf Gabrielle Bompard at
Paris last year, wherein it was claimed and
so clearly proven a case of hypnotism that
her accomplice was sentenced to bang while
she received a term of imprisonment.
The theqry in the Remington cas.e, it is
understood, will be that while hypnotized
by a' Minneapolis woman he murdered
Agent Flett. Competent authorities, who
have visited Remington in jail with this
theory in view, are said to be of the opinion
that lie is so .constituted as to be easily liable
to mesmeric influence. "'Should this line of
defence be adopted it will he the first one of
the kind in the Uuited States. .
rNDICIMENTS AGAINST THE BIG FOUR.
The Proceedings of the Indianapolis Grand
Jury Hidden in Mystery.
Indianapolis, March 28. Although
the Federafautborities maintained dignified
silence on the subject, there is no question
tbat tbe Grand Jury yesterday returned an
indictment against one of the officers of tbe
Big Four Railroad for alleged violation of
the inter-State commerce law." Owing to the
absence of a number of Important witnesses
Friday, when the Grand Jury took up their
case, serious doubts wete expressed as to
whether there would be sufficient evidence
upon which to base as indictment.
It appears, however, that the testimony of
several Lifayette railroad men, who did
not attempt to evade the matter, was very
strong, and it is quite likely that within the
next 24 hoursan arrest will be made. Tbe
charge against the Big Four is tbat it cut
the grain rate between Lafayette and Cin
cinnati Z cents. The regular tariff is 7
cents, and it is accused of having given
Samuel Finny a 6-cent rate between the
points named. ,

SOME INTERVIEWS WITH BOTH SIDES
rtPICTAL TZLXORAK TO TUX DI8PATCS.t
Mt. Pleasant. March 28. Much
Interest in the strike In this region
to-day centered in the meeting at Scottdale.
Affairs at Morewood are quiet to-night.
This morning a crowd of strikers from
Stonerville and Donnelly, armed with
sticks, marched to Morewood and held a
lively meetlug. One ot the deputies who
approached the men was told to leave, and
when taking the advice was pelfed unmerci
fully with snowballs. He accepted.the as
sault peacefully and the men howled with
delight
Twenty-five member s of. Company E, Ns
6. P., were sworn in as deputy 'sheriffs at
Greensburg to-day. Much Indignation was
expressed by the strikers over the company's
going to Morewood in uniform, and a com
mittee waited upon Sheriff Clawsoo, who
had come here to inquire into the situation,
and vehemently protested against the move.
They said it was merely a big bluff and the
men were not needed. ,
The Militia Are on, Guard.
However, the company will go to More
wood Monday morning in'uniform, and re
inforce the 30 deputies now there." The
coke in the ovens will be drawn then, and
many expect trouble.
To-day 200 ovens are burning at More
wood, and 75 men were at work. This num
ber will be greatly increased by Monday.
The men who are working are bcing.called
very hard names, and will likely be remem
bered by the ones standing out:
General Manager Morris Ramsay, of the
Southwest Company, said to-day to The
Dispatch correspondent: "I do not antic
ipate serious trouble. All I want the
strikers to do is to stay away from our
works. I belitve many Morewood. men
want to go to work; not that they are needy,
for our works made good time last year,
and our men areiwell fixed, but -I think
tbey want to resume. The coke in our
ovens will be drawn Monday morning, and
we intend to protect the drawers. ' A's to tbe
wages which our new scale gives'they a
the highest 'we can" offer. We would gladly
give more did the -market afford it."
aThe Trotter Worka,rnear Connellsvllle,
were fairly started this morning, and' 20
ovens were fired at Mutual.
lor 'Worlain Active ODeratlottT
'A'dispatcb' from,ScottdaIe' says': At the
Frick office here', two 'new accssaions'to the
list of active works vere reported 'to-day
namely, the .Henry uiay plant at Broadtord,
and the Trotter plant near Connellsvllle.
The officers of tbe company say that over; 40
men are at work at tbe latter plant. They
furnish tbe following as a list Qf plants tba't
are in active operation: Jimtown, Stirling,
Henry Clay, Adelaide, Trotter, Lejsenring
Nos. 2 and '3, Leitb, Redstone, Mutual,
Morewood and White. They say -further
that they are making vigorous efforts to
start other plants, aad have fully 500 men
at work.
The McClure Company has invaded tbe
ranks of the strikers at the Coalbrook plant
only, which is still running in lull. Tbe men
say tbat instead of increasing the number of
men working for these two companies is
steadily diminishing, and say there are
only a few scattered men at work in their
various -plants.
The different coke companies announced
to-day that they will enter into the fight
next week in earnest, and anticipate an
easy victory. Manager Lynch, of the H.
C. Frick Company, said to-day that they
would stand no nousense, and tbat they in
tended to operate their works at the condi
tions proposed.
Don't Like Military Interference.
' Three of the big Frick plants are being
guarded by deputies Leisenneg Nos. 2
and 3 and the Morewood. Labor officials
charge the Sheriffwith an over-exercise of
his authority at Morewood, and have wired
to Governor Pattison to have the hated
militia taken off duty. A striker at the
Leisenriug No. 3 distinguished himself yes
terday by raiding a few workmen in tbe
yards. He was armed with a donblc-bur-reled
shotgun. The men fled, and Sheriff
McCormick has a gang ot deputies alter the
dougbtv striker. ' .
Tbe fight for tbe eight-hour system in the
coke region will likely be instrumental in
securing a handsome consignment of relict
money for the men, who really need it The
officials of the American Federation of
Labor and of the Knights of Labor will be
asked for assistance on these' grounds.
National President Rae, of the United Mine
Workers, will put forth every effort to se
cure tho money. Some ugly statements
have been made against the men who have
been working at tbe Jimtown plant and
officials of the company are there investigat
ing the reports.
Master Workman Wise Encouraged.
Master Workman Wise said this after
noon: "The utterly fruitless attempts of the
coke companies to make inroads into our
ranks during the past week have greatly en
couraged us. We have confidence in our
men and they trust us. The proposed slid
ing scale is a piece of deception. It means ,
starvation wages and two meals a day,
should they accept it. We will stand out
until the grass grows over the ovens if
there are not more reasonable concessions.
A great portion ot Alain street here was
completely blockaded by the large body "of
stricers wnogaiuerea nere in response tp a
call for a general mass meeting this after
noon. At 'the very least estimate 3,000
strikers were present, and as the Opera
House was too small the meeting was held
in the open air. Master Workman Wise
and James McBride presided. James Kee
gan led off in speaking and handled the
proposed scale withont gloves. ,
Speakers at the Mass Meeting.
Dlsmen, who followed, spoke to the Hun
garians. President Rae delivered1 an ad
dress in which he said he did not fear the
ultimate result, but hoped for an amicable
settlement. He said thatthe strikers'
position was fully jnstifiedand tbat their
eight-hour .demand was their crowning ef
fort. Vice President .Penna, .the nexL
speaker, severely criticised the action of the'
operators, and made mention of the
enormous profits on their production.
After pointed addresses by Wise and
Nooski in the foreign tongues, resolutions
to stand out for a year, it necessary, were
passed.

SECEET SESSION OF C1TI FINANCIERS
Pittsbnrg taxpayers have been granted
an extension of nine days in which to re
ceive the 5 per cent discount on tbe March
instalment of city taxes. City Treasurer
Deuniston wrote to Major A. M. Brown,
his attorney, yesterday, for a supplement
to his opinion of the day before declaring
that the proposed plan of allowing the
March discount on taxes paid prior to
April 10, was illegal, and asking whether
tbe city of Pittsburg was not the only agent
having authority to bring action against the
discounts allowed in April.
Major Brown in his answer stated that no
one would have any standing in court as
the complainant in such a suit except tbe
city itself. No taxpayer would raise tbe
question on behalf of the city, or bring suit
against the Treasurer or 'his bondsmen for
the amount of discounts thus illegally al
lowed. Simple Equity, If Xot the Law.
Upon receipt of this answerIajor Den
niston declared that he would grant the dis
count of 6 per cent on all city taxes paid to
him until and including April y. In refer
ence to the matter he said: 'It would have
been almost impossible to have received.all
the taxes due by the last day of this month,
and it is only a matter of simple equity to
give the poor man an equal chance with the
rich. Tbe latter can easily write a check
on bis bank account for the amount of bis
taxes, but the former often has some trouble
to raise the money, especially on such abort
notice. I am confident that none of tbe city
officials will bring suit against me for my
acton; for they recognize the justice and
necessity for it. Under my attorney's opin
ion, no one else can enter suit"
Mayor Gouricy, who would represent the
city in all action against the Treasurer, baa
expressed himself as satisfied with the ar
rangement, as he considers" it is for the good
of the community, and has given an assur
ance that her will not Interfere. Controller'
Morrow looks at the matter in the same
light-.- - "" -
Met Behind Closed Bsonu '
T The 1 Finance Committee met yesterday
afternoon and considered in secrecy two im-'
portant ordinances affecting tbe investment
and expenditures of' millions of dollars.
One' was in relation to the sinking fund and

Presidents of Councils and ex-oflicio mem
bers, were in attendance. Controller Morrow
acted as clerk, and Senator Fllnn and C. L.
Mogee assisted in the deliberations, which
were very bTief.
The necessity for a change in the manner
of administering the money set aside for

idle in thp city'deoositaries.
