6 THE TIMES, MONDAY, JULY 9, 1888. EREIiAND. THE ORUBCH MOUSE. OBIT VARY, Judge Andrew, addessing the county Limerick grand Jury on Friday, said there was only one short case to go before them. He was happy to find from the county inspector's re ten.

and from the information be had received since be came to Limerick, that there was a very marked improvement in the condition of the county. The' number of specially reported and indictable offences since the last assizes was 43, which compared very favourably with the corresponding period last year, the number then being 92. And whereas in "July, 1887 there' were 70 cases of boycotting, the number of persons affected being 329, in the present month the maximum number of cases was five, and the maximwri number of persons affected 23. Of these five three would be found in which the boycotting was partial and not absolute. Judge Harrison, addressing the city grand said were it not that a case had been transferred to Wat jurisdiction from the county, they would have no criminal business whatever atNtbese.

assises, for the calendar was a blank as far as the city was concerned, there being sot a single person in custody. At the last meeting of the Limerick City branch of the National League, the Hign Sheriff, Mr. S. O'Mara, presiding, Mr, D. Begley proposed following That we deeply sympathize with the Rev.

J. GOligan, C.C, in las brutal imprisonment, which 'only serves to adear him more and more to the peopleas he is suffering in the cause of Irish nationality is invincible and indestructible, and that we, admire the courage and heroism of this nobis Soggarth Aroon and Us feUow prisoners from patriotio Clare for the gallant stand they have made against 'Balfour and his coercion satellites, and that we consider the savage administration of this so called' law deserving the reprobation and contempt of the Irish people." were all aware, he that the. people and priests of Clare had to stand the first brunt of the Coercion Act, and, to his mind, the peoplo of Clare played as important a part in the struggle taking place at present as Sarsfield played when he went out and spiked the enemy's guns and cannon at Ballyneety. It was to Clare men that Thomas Davis referred in his poem, The West Asleep;" whero ho said; Let England quake Wll watch till death for Erin's sake." The High Sheriff, in' putting the resolution to the meeting, said be had come recently from tho land where every man was free, and it was utterly impossible to make a free man understand that in Ireland their liberty depended, not on their own demeanour and not on their own regard for peace and order, but entirely on the will of the Government, whenever it saw it lit to run thenvinto coal. Nothing brought home to the mind of mm I I CXJ tneunencan people tne nypoensy or tee xory uoyern t5re egaj I mem ana lis Tyranny more wan no unpnsonmeut oi seected site I mese men, pnesis ius.o uuiigou, wuo cuiiuuitteu no crime whatever, whose only fault was to stand between the people, and tyrants.

The resolution was passed. i At Conna Petty Sessions decrees were granted in 20 cases, with. 20s costs, in each or county cess, in eluding the Leahy tax. Mr. Eaton, in giving the' judgment of the Court, said he knew the eople would pay their cess quietly, as they always had one, but for five or six agitators, some of whom had no Interests in tho barony at all.

Respectable persons had come to him and aaid that they wished to be summoned rather than incur the displeasure of these agitators. He knew the people of the district to' be peaceable and law abiding if they were not interfered with by agitators. I' Intelligence from Tnlee states that on Saturday morn ing a' valuable mare, the property of Mr. Lyons, Town Commissioner, was stabbed, at the stables in Church street, and tho same time a horse belonging to Mr. ITCowen, J.F.

and Town Commissioner, was also stabbed. No motive is assigned for these outrages. What was extensively advertised as a monster. Nationalist demonstration was held to day near Rivers town, some six miles from Cork. Nothing was left undone' by the Cork and surrounding branches of the League to make the gathering a great success.

Mr. Lane, MJ, Mr. Healy, the Mayor of Cork, and Mr. Shinkwin attended as speakers. Owing; to the elaborate nature of the preparations the authorities felt it necessary to despatch a largo force to the place for the preservation of the peace.

Sixty men under County, Inspector Heard arrived at the place of the meeting to find it deserted. An hour after' the appointed time between 200 and 300 persons were got together. Resolutions wore passed condemning Captain Gubbins for evicting a tenant for nonpayment of rent, denouncing the Government, and sympathizing with Mr John Dillon. Oja Saturday afternoon a meeting of the general 'committee of the Church House was Tield in the rooms of the National Society, Broad Sanctuary, Westminster, for the purpose of receivinxr the! final report of the exe cutive committee. The Archbishop of Canterbury presided, and among those present were the Bishop of London, the Bishop of Shrewsbury, Lord Stanhope, Sir Walter Barttelot, Sir Baden Powell, M.F., the Hon.

E. P. Thesiger, Admira Robertson Macdonald, Canon Gregory, and the Bey B. M. Blakiston (hon.

secretary. The Abchbisho? of Canter jury stated that 'their gathering represented the last nee ting of a committee which had met but once before. The executive committee, which had been intrusted with, full powers, had, spared no labour necessary, and ihe general committee was no asked to receive the report. It; 'was hoped that a fortnight later the unpen uouse wouia oe launched and would fnLGl all expectations, in being a perpetually growing institution of perpetually increasing usefulness. I The BEY.

R. M. BtAKiSTON fhen read the report of the executive which stated that two subcommittees one of sites and iwjorks and the other iff finance had been appointed with the Duke of Westminster as chairmani of the former, and the Bishop of London of the latter. A site had been chosen on the south side of Dean's yard, comprising all the houses on the terrace, except rNos. 6, 71 aid 8 (the acauisition of which was still tinder consideration) with all the land behind bounded by Tuf ton street, Little Smith street, and Great Smith street.

The I right of purchase of "the freehold of this site: for; the sums of 26,500 had been secured. The property was held oni long leases in five separate holdings. Negotiations for the purchase of jhej leasehold interest of some of this property bad'been entered into, and in some cases completed while immediate possession of No. 10, Dean's yard had been obtained, and a similar arrangement concerning No. 11 was on he point of completion.

For the perpetual holding management of' the property tne executive committee had presented a peti tioiSfor a charter of incorporation, and (this had been granted on February 23, 1888. The receipts up to June 30 amounted to 45,853, while a balance of 2.681 remained at the bankers, besides investments and deposits to the sum of The total liabilities incurred, and to be incurred, in purchase of the site amounted to; 42,431, of which 3,116 had already been discharged. The present resources of the corporation were amply sufficient to provide for these On the completion of the purchases the rents to be re ccived would amount to 963 per annum. The Bishop: of London, in fmoving the adoption of the report, said' that he thought it would be well for the corporation to; put themselves in en poisesston lot jtne freehold of. the and also of certain parts of the lease hold, interest as soon as possible.

There was one house a A A Which tney were aooui to i occupy immeaiaieiy, ana in which some of the most1 important committees; of the Lambethi' Conference would fihd accommodation. The site was convenient, and the sonditions of obtaining it were also' especially advantageous. What was now requiredwas that persons jallj over England interested in the 'Church should become members of the corporation and each pay the guinea annual subscription. Lord Stanhope, in seconding1 the adoption of the report, said that the charter having been obtained, the next consideration was that of building, and he hoped that very soon it would be' possible to lay the foundation stone of, a block of buildings which would be worthy of the )i The report was. unanimously adopted.

Sir Waiter barttelot proposed a vote of thanks to the Archbishop i of Canterbury. He said that he had alwavs supported the Church! House, but he had bean many statements made unfavourable to it. In particular there had been complaints (that the intended uses of the Church House had; not been fully explained and he thought well to take' I tne public thoroughly into their confidence, in order to'gajn in turn the confidence of the public. 1 Canon Gregory, in seconding the vote of thanks, said thai.it was a matter! of great congratulation that so perfect a site had been chosen. It certainly would, not redound to the credit of the Church if its members did not! supply the comparatively small amount asked for by subscription.

He hoped that The colonel commanding the 5th Battalion Royal Irish Rifles writes to ns that the fight reported to have taken place; on June 30 in Downpatrick was really a trivial affair. He says A Nationalist excursion had gone to Newcastle in the morning and was returning by Jrain at 7 o'clock pan. Some 30 or 40 of my regiment were strolling about in the neighbourhood of the railway station, and on the arrival of the train the Nationalist band formed up outside the station, and before moving off one of their number called out To with the and the South Down Militia.r Half a dozen of the soldiers made a rush at the band and some few blows were the regimental picket, together with both the adjutant and sergeant major, were on the spot. The conflict was at once put an end to before the police, who were also present, could the whole of the men were i sent back to camp. No one was hurt, as far as I can ascer tain, nor were the instruments of the.

band injured." Our correspondent adds that the regiment has always borne a high character for discipline and good John Mandeville, one of the best known of local Nationalists in the South of Ireland, who was Mr. O'Brien's fellow prisoner in Tullamoro Gaol, idied. at Clonakilta house, Mitchelstown, last evening. He Was only 38 years of age, and wasamanof excellent physique, but succumbed, after an illness of only three laays, to a throat affection. Mr.

Mandeville was' the of Colonel John O'Mahony, the Fenian head centre in' America. He was. one of the first imprisoned I "under the Crimes Act. The' AkETHUSA (AND CHICHESTER TRAINING Snips. Oh Jersey presided over the annual i meeting of the supporters of these training ships for outcast and deserted lads.

The vessels lie off Green hithe, Kent, and are old men of war given by the Admiralty for the purpose. The ceremony was. held on board the Arethusa, an example, of sound shipbuilding in British naval dockyards in olden time, and among those present were Lady Jersey, Lady Northcote, MajOr General Hillward, Colonel Searle, Webbe, Mr. Fleming the Rev. Newman Hall, and other, supporters of the institution.

The presented by Mr; William Williams, showed that no fewer than 4,000 lads had been shipped to sea from the vessels. The prizes presented were given by the Earl of Jersey, Mr. John MacGregor, Mr. Fleming, Mr. Joseph Spawforth, Mr.

O. E. Beth Smith, Mr. M. S.

Pilcher, Mr. M. Cox head, and Mr. B. jVenables.

After a few observations from the president, Lady Jersey addressed the boys, i calling their attention to the prizes to be won by truth and honesty, by industry and by kindness to their fellows. The Eev. Newman Hall' having also spoken, Captain Willan, tho superintendent, took his farewell of the boys, being about to enter upon other duties. Mr: W. Williams, the secretary, pdinted out that 4,669 boys had been received into the ships, of whom 4,000, as previously had gone to sea, and said there was no difficulty, owing to large ships taking the place of smaller ones, in getting berths for the lads; The proceedings were closed by the boys singing the National Anthem.

Trustee Savings. Banks. At the resmhed i sitting of the House of Commons' Select Committee on Trustee Savings Banks on Friday, Mr. Shaw Lefevre in jne cnair, oir divers uson, jomptrouer ueneru ot the i National Debt Office and Secretary to the Commissioners i of the National Debt, Was examined. Replying to the chairman, he gave a history of the legislation on this question from the first Act in 1817, when there were 70 trust associations in England, four in Ireland, and four in Wales, down to the Act of 1863.

In 1861 the Post Office savings bank system was established. At that time the trustee banks numbered 641. Since that date. 14 new banks had been opened, and 255 had been' closed, making the total on November 20, 1887 the close of the Savings Bank year 400. Comparing the position of trustee banks in 1862 and at the present time, he stated that the number then was 622 against 100 now the depositors 1,558,189 in 1862 as against in 1887 the amount duo to depositors was against 47262,232 (in addition to 943,126 invested in stock under a recent now and the average amount due to each depositor in 1862 was 26 0s.

8d. as against 29 9s. Id. in 1887. The average expenses of the banks all over imgland was 6d.

per Scotland 5s. Ireland 8s. Channel Islands making an average of 6s. od. per cent.

The average interest given by tho trustee savings banks to depositors was 2 14s. fid. per eent; but it varied very much according as the institution was well or badly managed. The result of the establishment of the Post Oflice savings banks had been that many of the smaller, trustee banks had disappeared. Under the present law trustees would not be liable for a defaultingdefaulting official if they bad taken security for him.

Assuming that the continuance of these; banks was desirable a audit was certainly necessary, but it should be a continuous audit rjy a Government auditor, which would involve a considerable amount of expense, and such a measure. would imply the liability of the Government to the depositors. Since the begmning of the century the" character of the banks bad much changed in respect of the position and wealth of the persons who came forward as trustees, and to take aninterest in them. In these circumstances, the Commissioners ought to have greater power in matters of administrative and the trustee who signed the return stating how much had been paid in and withdrawn each week ought to be 'made liable for that return. Some of the largest banks like Glasgow, with 4,154,768 liabilities to depositors, and Liverpool, Manchester, Edinburgh, Bloomfield street, St.

Martin's place, Sheffield, and Exeter, each with over a liability were excellent institu tions, and their disappearance witness would regard as a misfortune'; but facilities might be given for the easier transference of deposits to the Post Omce, so as 'to encourage the absorption of the small banks Jt was a great blot on the present system that trustee Banks were allowed to money without the assent of thei Commissioners, and even without any security 'being taken by the trustees for the persons in whose 'names' it was invested. Over 4,000,000 was now 60 in vested. Some legislation for the protection1 of depository in this was needed. The (Committee ad MJIOw, before another Lambeth Conference should meet the building have risen as a permanent memorial to tho zeal of the The Rev. R.

M. Blakiston then announced that the inaugural ceremony would 'be held on the 21st immediately after the afternoon service at Westminster Abbey. All members of the corporation and subscribers would receive tickets of admission, but, as it was probable thatk tho available space would not thus be exhausted, cards would 'be issued to the general public on application at 2 6r10i Dean's yard. The vote of thanks haying then been passed, The Archbishop of CAHTlRBURy, in acknowledging it, said that there were jfewj causes in connexion with the Church which would be of more lasting and practical value io it thanjthe scheme for the1 Church House, which would noi) (only be useful as. a place of business the "Church England in England but would also be' a great meeting point and rallying ground for the Anglican: communion throughout the world.

The two committees had performed wonders in com pleting their work so' soon! The Duke of Westminster's committee had had before St the task of selecting an almost perfect knew of no sbgle disadvantage Eertainmg to the sito actually chosen. The Bishop of ondon's, committee had had the task of conducting the necotiations without involving the enterprise in debt. They had now a small balance in hand which he con sidered to be the best condition possible. It! had been a matter of consideration whether the sum required for purchase should be; paid off in instalments. so leaving1 them with aj; perpetual debt on their shoulders for the next 30 lyears.

But they had thought it best to empty their pockets in securing a good site, and by iso doing to avoid debt. No one could, tell exactly what would be 1 the essential details of the Church House, and. therefore it was a good thing that thev had no; large buildings on their hands to begin with. They commanded a number of handsome houses in which they could settle down and find lout their exact requirements by degrees. The Church House would be a place; of: geat I and he was anxious thaf a good reference library should be formed as' soon as possible They needed aj great collection of reports of the.

Church work in all; parts; oE the world and they had already received valuable contributions from the Iowa and Albany as to the transactions of the American Church Conventions. He had no anxiety tor toe xucure. xney woma oegin to receive an income at once, and he did not 'doubt that a constant increase 1 13 1 A ox tne corporanuu woiuu pro viae ine tunas necessary for further In la much shorter time than could have been' expected! they had obtained exactly what they wanted in the pest possible vray, and so he. hoped that the general committee would uranquilly and thankfully receive theirj dissolution to appear again shortly in the corporation pf the Church House. The proceedings were thep'brought to an end.

The shade temperature is given in figures for several places on the coast, and the weather is recorded in words. The arrows lly with the wind, the force) of. which is shows by the number of barbs and feathers, thus i light fresh or strong; gale; a violent galej signifiee calm. The state of the tea is noted In capital letters. The denotes the various Remarks (8 50 p.m.).

In the course of the past 24 hours there has been a material improvement in the weather over the United Kingdom, both1 with regard to rainfall and the distribu tion of barometric pressure. In all parts of England, Germany, France, and Spain the barometer is higher than it has been for some time past, and the local diS' turbances which prevailed over the Channel on Saturday morning have disappeared. In Ireland, Scotland, and the west of Norway, however, the barometer is falling again not but the type of gradient prevalent cannot be considered as favourable for settled weather, Temperature is low generally, and except in the north' west the air is dry. At 6 p.m. to day pressure was highest, 30'lin.

and more, over Spain, the west France, and the extreme south west of our islands lowest, 29'8in, and less, off the north of Scotland and west of Norway, and about 29 5in. oyer Sweden. Gradients were moderate in the north, slight elsewhere barometer, was falling in the west and north, rising in the south west, but the changes were slight. Temperature was highest, 68deg. at Lisbon and Biarritz, 65deg.

at Rochefort, 63degl at Paris, and C3deg. in London lowest, oldeg. at Sumburgh Head, 54deg. at Christiansuhd, and 55deg. at Malin Head and Skudesnaes.

It has been as high as 67deg. London and 65deg. at York to day. Wind was light to moderate from south west and west on our north western coasts, and from north west in Norway, moderate to strong from north west at the extreme south westerri stations, light from between south and east over our eastern counties Weather was again showery at most of the northern and Irish stations, fine over England and. France.

Distant thunder was reported at Mullaghmore. In London there had been about five hours of bright sunshine the day, but the sky had not a settled appearance. Sea was moderate at a few of the extreme northern and western stations, slight or smooth elsewhere, i Although the weather has been so much finer oyer England to day than it has of late, the showery weather in the west and north is spreading quickly, and the irregular character of the changes in pressure over Ireland and England seem to show that' the showers will spread to England to' morrow. At present, "however, there is no indication that they will be heavy. Forecasts of Weather tor Monday, July 9 (issued at 8 30 r.ii.

SCOTT, Secretary. ART SAIiES. LORD LONDESBOBOUGH'S COLLECTION. The large collection, (the dispersion of which has already occupied the past week and Will be continued during the present week at the rooms of Messrs. Christie, owes its reputation for objects of art in almost every form of ancient work, except; the pictorial, to the late Lord wsj an artistic antiquary of taste and acknowledged attainments.

The collection, bow ever.took its origin from another source, at the time when its originator purchased the i Grimstone estate, with the mansion, in which were many fino suits of armour and arms obtained by the Lord Howdcn when he was Ambassador at the Court of Spain. Some pictures were included in this purchase, but none of any consequence, and those sold on Saturday bear upon some of them the Grimstone ticket. But most of the fine examples were added from time to time whenever 'the opportunity occurred, as in the sale of the famous Bernal collection, the Alton Towers collection, and the celebrated De Bruge Dumesnil collection. The interest which the late Lord Londesborough took in promoting the study of art and antiquities led him to place bis collections at the disposal of the archaeological societies' and the various exhibitions which ha vbeen got together during the past thirty years, so that all the important representative objects are well known to those who follow the pursuit. Of in fact, the collection of armour and arms has had quite' ja peripatetic career pi usefumess, tor it nas Deen exhibited at South Kensington Museum, aU Liverpool, at Folke stone, even at the Aquarium, where it is not very encouraging to learn; that the British public ad mired the beautiful things so much that they could not resist; carrying off trifling mementos in the shape of loose scraps jof ornament in the metals.

Without detailing all the high prices obtained in tho first three days for the European armour and. arms, we may take a general look at this extraordinary collection 'whicK has set all the dealers and amateurs of Europe' (contending over the spoils.

In the course oi an interview with a ccrreipondent on Saturday afternoon Theodore Bryant said that tho original itenjhad gradually built up and eoncentrat4 tha great works erected and the large trade now carried on. They baa put a great deal of raoney into their rinessanel. as they employed a large number of hands, thev paid large, sums in wages every week. It had always beenhis desire to see his workpeople well paid, and if any jrirl could earn the wages. of three he was glad to see themdo so.

He had always endeavoured to be a conscientious employer of labour, and ke bad tried to give his workpeople a fair remuneration as profits would permit The iris earned on an average from, 5s. a week learners to 8s. per week competent hands, and in one instanee a family of three earned 2 a week between them. Tha regulation which they made on Thursday morning was a wise one, and it was rendered advisable by the charced state of the atmosphere with heat and electricity Were they not to make these regulations at times there would be loss byhe ignition of matches, and the 'girls would frequentlygefe their fingers burnt.i During the afternoon 160 girls had signed a paper expressing their wish to be allowed to return to work, provided they were from ill treatment by the others who were followisir the ill advice given them. Two girls who had wished to remain at work had already been severely beaten by soma of the others, and they had come that morning with black eyes In consequence of this, and in consequence of certain information which had reached them as to the future action of the and what was intended, he had already applied to the Home Secretary for special protection, for the girls.

The Home Secretary had expressed his desire for full information upon the matter, and had made an appointment with him for a special in t(Tiew un u.emoou. me lacsory at xSow they had one at Stratford, and they had received information that an attempt was to be made to bring these' people out also. They had been informed that an orga nized system of picAeting was going to be established, but the firm were assured they would have full assistance from the police, and that all their mpfojti who wished to return to work would be well protected. In anticipation of a great demonstration by the girls or strike, a large meeting was held yesterday morning on the Mile end waste. There were two platforms, and about 2,000 persons were present, but very few of tha girls attended.

Mr. Herbert Burroughs presided, and said the meeting was called to protest against tha tyranny of Bryant and May towards the helpless girls in employment and to give support to them in their struggle. Mrs. BESANT then addressed the meeting. She asserted that she had.

been informed by the girls employed by the firm that their i average wages ranged from 4s. to 133. per week; She thought those were scandalous wages from a firm dividing 34 per cent.be tween its shareholders. Mr. Theodore Bryant had actually bought a park which had cost 170,000, and which had been paid for tut of the suffering of these people.

When she saw girls reduced to such wages her very womanhood revolted against this system of oppression. The strike had already done much' good, for it nad knit and bound the girls together; to try and oppose the existing system. The firm had threatened to bring girls from Glasgow if the strikers did not accept their terms, but she thought by timely intervention they could prevent the Scotch girls from coming. She was of opinion that everybody could do jrreat srood bv pledging themselves not to use the matches of tha firm. Mr.

Cunntnghamh Graham, next1 spoke, and said he would use his utmost influence to prevent girls being brought from Scotland to take the places of tha girls on strike. Miss CIemente Black, of tha Women's Protective and others having addressed the meetings, resolutions were passed expressing the belief that Mrs. Besant's statements were true, that the Home Secretary be asked to receive a deputation ot match girls to lay their grievances before him, that he be asked to strictly enforce the Factory Act which renders fines illegal, that a trade society should be formed among tha girls, and that funds should be, raised to support them as far as possible. A collection of many pounds was made in support of the strike fund. There was a strong muster of police present, but tha proceedings were very orderly, and the crowd quietly dispersed.

DEM ONSTRATION AGAINST SUNDAY OWSING. I Yesterday a demonstration was helc in the London streets and in Hyde Park, mainly as a protest against Mr. tevenson's Bill for the Sunday closing of publiehouses. and indirectly as a counter demonstration to that of the temperance party a few weeks ago against the compensa tion clauses of the Local Government The muster was appointed for half an hour after the midday closing of publiehouses, on the Victoria Embankment. There was a large demonstration in the way of bands, crowds, and banners, the latter, however, having different mottoes 6.

Swaddle had, an hour previously, been ejected by Green from a neighbour's h6use for disorderly behaviour. While Sergeant Green and Constable Lindsay were walking towards the ferry landing they met Swaddle, who. immediately discharged a gun which he was carrying. The contents of the first barrel took effect in the left side of the sergeant, who fell.

Constable Lindsay ran for shelter, but Swaddle fired tte second barrel of the yra and wounded him also. Swaddle then threw hnnself into the river, but was dragged! out by two men.
