A Book Acent with a Homicidal Hauin. New York, Dec. 17. a Boston special dls-patoh narrates the circumstances of the kllllnr of Patrick Lane, a tailor, living In a tenement house, by a book agent named Joseph Lew. The latter went to Lane's rooms, and In the presence of his wife and children, after drink-' lng with him, forced a quarrel, in which Lane was badly beaten and dragged down stairs.

Lew left Lane lying on the floor and reascended to the Lane family's rooms, where he proceeded to beat Mrs. Lane. He then started down stairs again, and struck Lane on the head with a casttron stew-pan Just as he was rising from the floor, knocking him senseless. Lew then entered his own apartment and proceeded to beat his wife In a brutal manner, and was soon arrested. Lane was dead when the police arrived.

The medical examiner has decided that Patrick Lane came to his death by violence, and not from heart disease, and Jos. Lew, who assaulted Lane last night, Is held for the crime. Further Telesrraonic Summary. James Shugaro was instantly killed nearPat-erson, N. Thursday, while crossing the high-bridge trestle of the Delaware, Lackawanna and Western railroad, near Paterson.

F. Butler has paid to the board ot managers of the Homes for Disabled Volunteers the sum of 122,000 In bonds. There have been stories that Gen. Butler had defaulted, as president of the board, in the amount mentioned. He never explained it, and there had been a law 'suit about certain bonds, out of which the trouble grew Gen.

Butler having paid the $122,000, whloh included accrued Interest, out of hts own pocket, now makes an explanation. Some years ago Horatio Ward, an American living In Europe, willed $125,000 In bonds, ot the various States, to the Soldiers' Homes. The will was contested, but Gen. Butler won the suit. The bonds were sent to him by messenger across the ocean.

Before the messenger arrived Butler went on a yachting cruise, and left word lor the bouds to be deposited bank. When ho got back the bank had failed, and the bonds were all lost. In replacing them Gen. Butler bought the same issues of bonds and paid In the accumulated interest. As some of the $125,000 ot the bonds left to the homes by Mr.

Ward are not at par, it took but $122,000 to do this. It was at the Wednesday night meeting of the board ot managers, who have been in session at Wil-lard's the past few days, that Gen. Butler walked in and laid down his pile ot bonds. Wash. Star, Dec.

On the upper between-deck will be a forecastle fifty feet long, for crew's quarters, store-rooms, etc. On each side of the upper between-decfes will be three ports for cargo, and on each side of the lower between-decks one port for cargo and one for coal. There will be a steam windlass, a steam capstan, two steam deck-pumps, eight-inch cylinders and seven-inch stroke, and five hoisting engines, 8-lnch cylinders and 10-lnch stroke.

At the regular meeting of the board of fire commissioners last night the matter of new hose for the coming year was discussed, and it was decided that about 6,000 feet would be needed, the cost of which is $1 per foot. It was estimated that an additional appropriation of $10,000 will be neoessary to run the department next year on account of the addition ot truck company No. 4, which went into service Wednesday night. The appropriation this year was $180,000. Wm.

Patterson was transferred from No. 1 truck company to No. 3 engine company, and John Battee from No. 3 engine company to No. 1 truck.

The board was satisfied from the investigation made that the firemen responded with unusual promptness after the alarm was turned in last Sunday morning for the fire at Mr. Charles D. Fisher's house, on North Charles street, and that further investigation was therefore unnecessary on their part. The board determined to give a fire-alarm box key to any responsible citizen who might desire to have one. The following substitutes were appointed Wm.

Blon-dell, Fred. H. Miller, August Bley, John Acker-man and Patrick McNally, in hook and ladder company No. James Larkin, in engine company No. 10, and H.

Murdoch, complimentary substitute in engine company No. 7. A petition is In circulation and has received about one thousand signatures favorable to the formation of a new engine company to be located in Northeast Mr. Robert Johnston, member of the first branch city council from the eighth ward, is taking an active interest in the matter, and will bring it to the attention of the city council. He has also waited upon the board of fire commissioners in reference to it.

The proposed removal of No. 2 truck company from North Paca street to a point In South Baltimore will come up before the city council, as It Is urged that a truck company is needed in that locality, and that the establishment of No. 4 truck on West Blddle street will do away with the necessity for a truck company on North Paca stretjt. Inspection of A. G.

Paul, assistant inspector of lights, fifth district, has just returned from a trip to the North Carolina coast, in the steam tender Violet. At Norfolk he took the new gas-supply boat (which he christened Buttercup) in tow to Long Point, Currituck Sound. He went-by way of the Albemarle and Chesapeake canal, and found great difficulty in getting through the ice on emerging into the sound. The lighting of the beacons in the sound was set for Thursday night, under direction of J. N.

Foster, manager and patentee of the new process. The beacons lighted by the new method are Nos. 1, 2, 3 and 4 North Landing river; 5. 6, 7 and 8 Currituck Sound, and 9 and 10 North river, N. C.

Each beacon has a clock or automatic attachment, which requires winding up every eight days. The gas in the cylinder ot the apparatus, if lowered by the automatic attachment every morning, as intended, will last ninety days. It bad weather prevents the keeper getting there on the eighth day to wind up the clock, and the gas burns at full capacity -all day, the supply will still last forty-five days. Instead of the old ship's lantern each beacon has a sixth-order lens. Albert Bailey, keeper ot Long Point (N.

light, has charge of the beacons, and Is required to visit them every eight The Buttercup, which Is 30 feet long and 9 beam, has no propulsive power of her own, but will be towed from the point to the beacons by the tender Bramble. The inspector also went up the James to Jordan's Point. Ha reports Thimble Shoals new light burning as brightly as before it was burned. Sales by the Water Board. The committee on real estate of the water board will, after the meeting of the council in January, ask for permission to purchase ground on which to erect a building for the mechanical branch of the water department, the building now used on North street being upon the site of the new postofflce.

A number of lots have been offered the committee, but they will not determine which to take until they get the necessary authority to buy. The same committee have agreed with Mr. Levi Furstenberg, purchaser of the Forge property on Philadelphia road, about 15 miles from Baltimore, to sell him the property known as the Patterson nail works, containing 134 acres, and lying opposite the Forge property, at a price of $2,200. The sale Is made subject to the ratification ot the water board, and with the understanding that the board has authority to make the sale. A question arose in the matter of the sale of the Forge property as to the right of the board to sell without additional legislation by the city council, and the matter Is to be decided by the city solicitor before a deed Is given for either property.

The board has yet a tract of surplus land to sell, known as the Copper Works, on Harford road, which is rented at this time. Fire This Morning.

Bchwalen-berg, aged 80 years, flagman of the Baltimore and Potomac Railroad at Western Cemetery crossing, about a mile from the city, was killed at 8.12 o'clock yesterday morning, while crossing the track near his own station. Schwalen-berg had signaled the regular train and had gone some distance from the track, when he heard the whistle of a special train and tried to get back In time to signal It. Just as he crossed the track the locomotive struck his right foot, tripping him up and breaking his leg and neck, killing him almost instantly. Justice Stephen S. Goudy, first district Baltimore county, summoned the following Jury of Inquest, who rendered a verdict that the cause of death was accidental, and that no blame attached to the railroad Geo.

Spies, J. Casey, John Butler. Wm. E. Frazier, John H.

Thomas and Irvln Tealdhall. Schwalenberg's body was taken to his late home. No. 10 Dewberry alley, West Baltimore, where it was prepared for burial. He had been employed by the Baltimore and Potomac Railroad for served as a laborer with the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad for twenty years.

He had not been at Western Cemetery long, having been stationed before at Maiden's Choice lane crossing. He leaves a widow and three children, one of bis sons, Harman Schwalenberg, being a yard foreman of the Baltimore and Ohio Rail-rood. Deceased was a member of Holy Martyrs Beneficial Society. Two colored men, John Meads and John Chew, were killed Instantaneously while returning from work and walking on the track of the Baltimore and Potomac railroad, between Lafayette and Fulton stations, just within the city limits, by a construction 5.50 P. M.

yesterday. There are three tracks in that vicinity, one going to Washington, another into Baltimore city, and a siding. The work-train, consisting of an engine, tender and caboose, was on the siding, going at the rate of four to five miles an hour. Mead and Chew, with another fellow-workman, Thomaa Barber, had finished their work for the day on a switch and were returning home. They were on the Washington city track when the train on the siding came on around a curve about fifty feet distant, the bell ringing incessantly, and' the light of a lantern showing In front.

The engineer of the work train, Andrew Hobbs, saw the men when fifty feet off, walking on the passenger track. When the engine got within fifteen feet of them. Meads and Chew, as If panic-stricken or bewildered, ran from the safo track they were on to the siding, and right in front of the train, which passed over them. The other colored man, Barber, remained in a safe position. The engineer, in testifying before the coroner's jury, said he remarked to those on the engine, "We are over some one." The train ran about fifty feet before it was stopped.

The engineer said he endeavored to stop as soon as he saw the two men run In front of him. Meads was honlbly butchered. His head was almost severed at the throat and his leg broken. He was 30 year8 old, and left a wife and three children. Chew was struck about the temple, and was very little disfigured.

He was 29 years old, and loft a wife and one child. Both lived at No. 222 Bouldin alley, where the remains were removed, under orders ot the police ot the northwestern district. The conductor, J. Wheeler, with the colored man Barber and others connected with the road, was the first to run to the bodies, and he had them removed to Fulton junction and the police notified.

Coroner Tins-ley summoned the following jury of inquest: Charles M. Robinson, J. M. Marsheck, William Hoy, Charles Warner, Louis Latticer, William Worley, Michael Magee, John Giglein, O. Pru-nett, H.

D. Shipley, J. F. Marsheck and E. D.

Shewell. After viewing the bodies at the house in Bouldin alley, the jury went to the northwestern police station, where they heard the testimony ot the employes ou the train J. Wheeler, conductor, Andrew Hobbs, engineer, and Edward Hoffman, fireman. The engineer was the only person on the train who saw the men before the accident took place. He said he did not whistle because the bell was ringing, and it Is against the law to whistle within the city limits.

The men had ridden on the train frequently and knew it well. The conductor thought the light on the train ought to have enabled the two unfortunate men to see it. The jurymen asked a number of questions about the light, the precautions against accident at that point, and after deliberating a short time adjourned till Monday night to obtain the evidence of the colored man Barber, the flagman of the train, and others. John Pferffer, a brakemen on. the Philadelphia, Wilmington and Baltimore railroad, was run over by the cars and instantly killed, near Havre de Grace, yesterday afternoon.

He left Baltimore In the morning on the way freight, Conductor Feltrow. The body was found lying by the side of the track, one of the cars having passed across both hlR arms and chest.

The remains were brought to Baltimore on the 7.45 P.

M. train. Pferffer was a German by birth, and was in the 29th year ot his age. He had been In this city nearly two years, and for several months had been In the employ of the railroad company. He was a widower and leaves two children.

The Bell Forgery Trial Jury Out. The second trial of George Bell, in the Criminal Court, for forgery ot a check for $3,901 50 on the Merchants' National Bank, purporting to be drawn by J. Harmanus Fisher, payable to G. W. Kimball, was concluded and given to the jury yesterday at 4.20 P.

M. The examination Ot Messrs. Thomas H. Morris, paying teller, Douglas H. Thomas, cashier, Mr.

Fisher, H. A. Orrlck, his confidential clerk, and Mr. Winchester, messenger, all for the State, closed the testimony at noon. The defense offered no testimony, relying on the non-identification of Bell as the man who presented the check.

Mr. Morris was the only witness who gave direct testimony on that point. The argument was opened by Mr. Kerr, who was followed by Mr. Whyte, and was closed by Mr.

Knott. Mr. Whyte cited a number of Instances of mistaken Identity in the courts, and argued strongly that the variance between the first description of the person who presented the check and Bell's actual appearance raised a doubt, it it did not show conclusively that Bell was not the person. Mr. Knott spoke ot Bell as a professional thief, and when Mr.

Whyte demurred to this Mr. Knott said a man who was concerned in three bank forgeries in two days was a professional. He called on the ury to find a verdict on the law and evidence that would show such persons that a Maryland jury had no mercy on men of that class, and would mete out to them the just punishment of their crimes. A discussion arose as to allowing the Jury to take the check to their room, Mr. Whyte promptly also telling Bell tostand.up for the ury to see him clearly.

Mr. Knott said therehad been enough of these exhibitions in the case, and Judge Brown told the jury that even if counsel consented the law did not permit the Jury to have the check. Mr. Whyte insisted on explaining, and said the Jury had asked for the check and he had merely consented to It. The jury asked for half an hour to consider their verdict, and not agreeing in that time Judge Brown left, with instructions to call him at 7.30 P.

M. if they agreed, but otherwise to adjourn the court, as they would have then to stay out all night, at any rate. Not having agreed at 7.30, General F. W. Campbell, clerk, adjourned the court to this morning.

Irish land league. The West Baltimore Land League met last night In the basement of St. Peter's schoolhouse, John Norman, president, in the chair, and Frank Murnaghan recording secretary. Addresses were made by Rev. Edward McColgan, vicar-general of the archdiocese ot Baltimore, and William Mac-Wllllams.

Rev. Mr. McColgan spoke briefly of the abuses incident to the land system of Ireland, and advocated moderation and peaceful measures, such as were comprehended in the land league movement. A communication was read from the branch ot the land league meeting at No. 84 West Baltimore street, proposing co-operation in securing the services of James Redpath to deliver a lecture in this city some time in January.

The communication was referred to the executive committee, namely: B. B. Knell, Michael Burns, Mathew O'Shea, John J. Halloran and J. T.

Ohmohundro. Opportunity was then given for those present to enroll their names as members and to contribute to the funds ot the league. Defalcations in the Water Department. The committee on the water registrar's department of the water board have notified the city solicitor to enter suit against the bondsmen for William F. Sinclair, charged with embezzling funds of the department.

The bondsmen are Robert Sinclair, father of the accused, and Jas. Colwell. The bonds are given each year, and are for five thousand dollars. The alleged embezzlement covers a number ot years back, the total amount discovered up to this time being over $30,000. The experts are still engaged examining the books in the department, and the amount is continually growing, but not to such a great degree since the examination of the meter-book has been completed.

Sinclair had special charge of the meter-book, and It was in it that the larger part of the defalcations, so far, have been found. Anniversary of Beethoven's Birthday.

Allen, keeper of Pool's Island light-house, reported to Inspector Hlgginsun yesterday that a canal boat was sunk on the western side of the channel, near Robins Point, and was in a dangerous place for vessels passing up and down at night. One and a half teet of the boat are exposed- Headings by the Poet Priest Tributes from and Other. Ber. Abram J.

Ryan, the poet priest of the South, read before a large and enthusiastic audience In the Concert Hall of the Academy of Music last night some selections from his book of poems. The object of the reading, which Rev. Mr. McGurk, president of Loyola College, said had been accomplished, was to found a Ryan medal at the college, the medal to be awarded to the writer of the best poem. Mayor Litrobe and Prof.

Elliott, of Baltimore City College, sat on the stage, and among the audience were Comptroller Joshua Vansant. Geu. James R. Herbert and a number of other well-known gentlemen, besides many priests and ladies. Before introducing Mr.

Ryan, Rev. Mr. McGurk read letters to Mr. Ryan from Longfellow, Oliver Wendell Holmes and J. B.

O'Reilly, who had been Invited to be present. Mr. Longfellow writes: "I have read enough ot your poetry to see the fervor of feeling and expression with which you write, and the melody of the versification. Of course you will not expect me to sympathize with ail the verses connected with the war, yet in some of them I recognize a profound pathos and the infinite piety of it all. When you call yourself the last and least of those who rhyme, you remind me of the graceful lines of Catullus to Cicero." Mr.

Holmes, after regretting his inability to be present, writes: "If a poet's verses are worth reading at all they should be heard from hl3 own merely because he knows them, but because they know him. They find out the wooing tones in his voice; they caress him, as it were, with their rhythms, and win from him all the natural eloquence there is in him, as the fond accents of a child call forth the softest and sweetest tones of its parent. I might hear some eongs from the reverend father which would recall the darn and stormy days when I was piping to a very different tune. But I would only ask to read his warm-hearted poem, and I should forget all the shadowed past In the current of that generous, human emotion, whose magnetism knows alike the North Pole and the South, the land of sunrise and the land of sunset. I feel sure tnat the song3 which he will read you will awaken lively echoes iii your hearts, and leave with you a Christmas gift of noble thoughts, broad patriotism and human sympathies, blind only to the geographical boundaries on the map of our common country." Mr.

Holmes's letter is addressed to Thos. E. Stapleton, Joseph C. Llnsmeire and Crayton Thompson, the committee who had charge of the entertainment. Mr.

O'Reilly's letter refers in complimentary terms to Mr. Ryari and the object of the reading. Mr. Ryan, who was introduced by Rev. Mr.

McGurk, said that poetry is like religion: It goes beyond nature, reaches the supernatural and bows down and worships God. From the time of Homer to the present day poets have stood by God. Philosophers and scientists have acted as long as poetry lives and poets sing we will keep God enshrined in our hearts. He then read the poem "The Sword of Lee," quietly and unaffectedly, the words seeming to come from his heart. The readiag was greeted with loud applause, to which Mr.

Ryan replied, "It is a good piece of poetry, but Gen. Lee deserved more." The poem on "Light," and the one illustrative of Ireland, Poland and the South were read and applauded, after which he read the one entitled "Two Loves," which he said had been written at the urgent request of some one who wanted him to write a poem on marriage. Mr. Ryan said he had married a great many persons that Is, he had conducted the ceremony, and he hoped the poem was an illustration ot their lives, of the lives ot his married hearers, and of the future life of. the younger people of the audience who may meet at the altar.

The storm of applause with which this little poem was welcomed caused the reader to remark that they seemed to care more about that than the other poems. Some years ago, said Mr. Ryan, the small-pox raged in Mobile as an epidemic. He attended many of the slcx, among whom was a poor outcast, who had been pure and beautiful once, but whose life had drifted away on the tide of passion. The speaker remained at her bedside as much as possible for thirteen days, and when she died he buried her.

She died peacefully, and while dying asked, "Has He any love for me?" which was the origin of the poem that contains those words. His pet piece, he said, is "What Alls the World!" which bewails the Incompleteness of things. Everything Is Incomplete. He had never yet met a complete person, and never wanted to meet one. Talent may be complete, but genius cannot.

Genius Is erratic, Impulsive; it never reasons, but conceives a thought, puts it In rhyme and sends it to the world as Incomplete as the genius from whom it came. Before reading the poem containing the stanza "They were right who wore the gray," he said that he hoped his audience would not think him disloyal. The poem had been written, and it is too late to change its construction now. As an offset to this he read the poem ''Reunited," as requested by Mr. Holmes, saying that while politicians were quarreling all over the country the yellow fever was raging in the South.

Then it was the North and South clasped hands, or "At the touch of mercy's hand, the North and South were one." The generosity of the North rose high above every other feeling. It was at this time "Reunited" was written. As an introduction to reading his verses on "Old Trees to Guard our Dead," Mr. Ryan said he had been requested once to lecture at Nashville to raise money to buy new wooden legs for the soldiers who had lost their legs in the war. Objection was made because it was thought that If the legs were made of wood from trees ot the South the South could never be reconstructed.

The lecture was delivered, however, and the poem written. The other poems read were "The Song of the River," by request.of Mr. McGurk; "The Beads," which Mr. Ryan said would be read to give a religious tone to the entertainment and to keep Mr. McGurk from scolding him; the verses on the death ot Prince Napoleon and "Rest." After the reading Miss Minnie Mosher, on the part of Loyola College, presented Mr.

Ryan with a beautiful and shapely harp, saying that she knew the present would be acceptable to one who had touched so many chords in the human heart. An Old Assault Case Revived What lied to an Arrest. Matthew J. Burns, arrested several days ago In this city, was sent to Towsontown yesterday by Marshal Gray, for the county authorities' action, on the charge of being concerned In a desperate assault made nearly one year ago upon the tollgate keeper and family at the gate ten miles from this city on Harford road. The story of the affair and the circumstances that led to the identity of Burns, as furnished by Marshal Gray, are Interesting.

On the night of December 23, 1879, a wagon containing three men drove out from this city on Harford road. Reaching the tollgate ten miles out, kept by Jacob Sherman, two of the men alighted, while the other drove up to the gate, which was closed. Marion Sherman, son of the keeper, who was on a visit to the house, went out to collect the toll. As he was holding out his hand for the money, for which the man in the wagon pretended he was fumbling in his pocket, the other two men, who had their faoes muffled in handkerchiefs, came from the other side of the road and passed behind him. One of them seized him around the neck, the other striking him over the head with some iron instrument and partly stunning him.

He struggled, they fought ail the way into the house. His father, who was lying on a sofa, was there assaulted by one of the three men, who also struck Mrs. Sherman, who ran up from the basement, and knocked her senseless. A boy about 14 years old, who was in the house, also ran up from the basement, and one of Marlon's assailants ran toward him. The boy escaped by way of the basement, screaming for help.

The men, tearing the boy would give an alarm, left the house. At the door one ot them turned and fired at Marlon, but did not hit him. Marlon reached for his gun and ran to the door and fired at the man nearest to him. The man had his back turned, and Mr. Sherman thought he had struck him.

Jumping inside the door, he reloaded the gun and went out again, but the man had gone. The neighbors, alarmed by the boy, came by this time, but no trace ot the supposed wounded man was found. Mr. Jacob Sherman, who is 84 years old, and his Bon Marlon, who Is 30, were both badly beaten, the younger man having nine wounds on his head. Both were covered with blood.

Mrs. Sherman, who Is 74, was not badly hurt. The matter was reported to police headquarters here some days later. The police received Instructions to watch a crowd of about ten in the West End, of whom Burns was one. Burns had disappeared and the crowd had not been seen since the day previous to the occurrence.

The doctor could not be found who had attended the supposed wounded man, but it was ascertained that Burns was laid up at home, visited by one ot the crowd referred to, and not by a physician. In the latter part of January the marshal saw Burns on the street, and though satisfied that he was one of the men had no evidence, but had him watched ever since. Several days ago Burns was arrested as being concerned in the Waverly robbery, when the perpetrators went out in a wagon, as published. Having him in charge the marshal made an examination of his body, and on his back for a space ten Inches In diameter were found in red spots the marks of about H0 shots, some scais being as big around as a dime. Mr.

Sherman says when he fixed, the shot, If there were any In the gun, must either have struck ttie man, who was very close, or the fence, toward which he was running, but no marks were found on the fence. The Baltimore county authorities took him to Towsontown on the evidence. Marshal Gray says there Is no doubt the men went out in the wagon tor the purpose of robbery, and perhaps murder, and that Burns and his crowd had been In the habit of going out at night into the country in a wagon and returning in the morning. The other two are known, and the police can secure them when the proper time comes. A Martial Zuxiiry.

The expenses attending the Fifth Regiment court of inquiry and court-martial are yet of difficult estimation. The law in the case of courts-martial allows $5 per day to the Judge-advocate, $4 per day to each ot the other officers composing the court, $3 per day to the provost marshal, and $1 to each witness. The law Is silent as to courts of Inquiry, and a demand will probably be made for actual service of the mllltla serving on the court according to rank. This would give the judge-advocate, with rank of lieutenant, about per day, and the others iu proportion, the brigadier-generals drawing a much larger sum. The court of inquiry is entitled to eight days' pay, and the court-martial, so far, to three days' pay.

Itlsaquestton what Gov. Hamilton's views are on this subject, but It is thought the Legislature will have to pay the court of inquiry for actual service, according to rank. The stenographer's bill so far is $244 for taking down the proceedings ot the court of inquiry and $72 25 for recording those of the first court-martial. Resulted Fatally.

142 St. Paul street, who was fatally burned Thursday by setting his clothing on fire from matches left within his reach, died yesterday and was burled in the afternoon.

Coroner Walker was notified, but held inquest, though an official investigation might hare had a salutary effect in warning servants and others not to leave children alone wlttUu reach ot matches. um.

A tenant-rights meeting was held at Loughgall, county Armagh. Those present were principally Orangemen. A mob of fifty persons took possesion of the platform, which they destroyed. A meeting was then held In an adjoining field. Resolutions were passed in favor of a peasant proprietary.

A telegram to the Pre Association from Dublin says it is confidently stated that Mr. Michael Davitt's ticket-ot-loave is about to be cancelled and Mr. Davltt will be arrested. The rest of Mr. Jones's cattle were shipped yesterday without opposition.

The Parnell defense fund now over 10,000. The Grand Orange Lodge has Issued a circular urging the brethren to take measures for meeting by means of signals at any time during day or night under any emergency, and take measures of protecting themselves. Another circular announces that a subscription has been oponed for organizing defenses, and gives information with regard to the cost of arms. Correspondence is published between Capt. Boycott and Mr.

Gladstone. The'former asks the assistance of the government to indemnify him for some of the losses caused by his having to quit Ireland. Mr. Gladstone replies that the government has already largely assisted Mr. Boycott with troops.

To this Mr. Boycott replies that the army was sent to Lough Mask against his wish, and merely to preserve peace, and regrets that the government refuses him compensation. A dispatch from Cork to the News states that offers of help are pouring in upon Mr. Jones. One friend offers a body of English navvies, but it is thought better to get a few men brought in quietly.

Mr. Jones announces hts intention of throwing all of his farm into a pasture and leaving the country. The correspondent of the News at Dublin hears on good authority that the government intends to arrest Mr. Davitt immediately by cancelling his tlcket-ot-leave. Mr.

James O'Kelly, M. has Instructed his solicitors to begin action for assault against the magistrates of Ennlskillan who broke up the land-league meeting at Brookborough, on December 7, and ordered Mr. O'Kelly, who was one of the speakers, to quit the field. The its leading editorial, says there is great uncertainty in regard to the degree of agreement that was established at the sittings of the cabinet, at which remedial legislation was discussed, and it is to be feared that on the vital subject of Irish land an agreement of the cabinet is rather nebulous. The Times states that the first battalion of the thirtieth regiment at Malta is ordered to Ireland.

Judge Dowse, closing the Connaught assizes, said of 212 persons summoned only half had attended, and the absentees woum De fined 20 each. A dispatch from Liverpool to the Times says the consignees state they have refused to receive Mr. Jones's sheep because the land league had threatened them. GREECE AND TURKEY. London, Dec.

One of the most important events of the day is the advance in coffee. From 11 cents, at which fair Rio has sold this week, the price this forenoon jumped until 12 cents was bid and 12U asked, and later it was reported that 13 cents was paid. This Is a fine thing for the suspended houses and those holding their paper, and the ultimate losses now bid fair to be considerably lessened. Hides rule quiet, and will probably so continue until after the holidays. There have been no recent sales of Texas, and prices must be quoted nominal say dry hides and kips 17al8 cents, 4 months, and dry salted 15 cents.

J. C. Legraad was caused by the discovery of fire in a workshop In the rear of the gun manufactory of Clark Sneider, No. 214 West Pratt street. Sergeant Klrsch heard several explosions In the building and at once turned In an alarm.

The firemen, salvage corps and policemen put out the flames with the use of extinguishers and water, without the engines going into operation. A hole was burned in the flooring and some damage done to stock, ftc, the whole aggregating perhaps not over $100.
