Mr. Ker resumed his opening argumont to
tbe Ftbr-Ttouto Jury Immediately after tho
court convened to day. no took up tho ques
tion of oxpodltlou. and Increase, citing tho
testimony of General Brady In relation to the
Interview between hlra and Qenornl Kiy whon
tno l'ostma9tcr-0oiirol, decided to continue
the expedition nt routes,
Iter Kill-. Ker.
Mr. Ker said that unfortunately Mr. Key was
not called In reply and he believed that he
was dead.
'0h, no," lntrrruptod tho Jtidgo.
"Who Is dead ?" asked Mr. Davldgo.
. I'Mr. Key," answered Mr. Kor.
"No ho is not," said ills Honor.
"Well, anyhow, ho Is not hero," replied Mr.
Eer.
"Ho la moro allvo to-day thin you aro," said
Mr.Davldge.
Iter Mlarciircacnttt tho Testimony.
Mr. Ker then proceeded to doplct to tho Jury,
nis ineory oi.now a conspiracy was rormoa
and carried out. Ho had reachod tho point
nnd was commenting on tho testimony of
Wnlsh Jn legard to tho noto sont General
Brady to meet Walsh at Oeneral Bhorhlau's
ofllco and tho memorandum nnswor claimed
to havo been wrltton by General Brady. Mr.
Eer said that when tbo note wa9 shown to
General Brady ho did not..dony thu hand
writing as being his and was proceeding to
comment upon it.
Cnrpcntcr Checks III in.
Mr. Carpenter arose, and said that he dll
hot llko to Interrupt tho gentleman In his ar
gument; It was not pleasant to do so, nud
would not, It permitted to reply. The gentle
man hnd made a misstatement. General
Brady did not admit tho handwriting at nil.
If, when Itcnmohlsturn to speak, he would
bo allowed to answer theso misstatements, tho
gonllcman might go on and spoik
to the end without Interruption, Ha
recollected, howovor, that at tho last
trial Mr. Kor was permitted to go
ou without Interruption, but whon ho cams to
reply tho Court checked him, enylng that ho
should havo objected at the tlmo Mr. Kor
made the misstatements: but that It was not
mottor for roply. Now, in this trial, ho did
not waut that repeated.
Ills Honor asked what was objocted to now.
Mr. Carpenter said It was tho statemont that
General Brady admitted tho lluo at tho bot
tom ot Walsh's note to bo In his handwriting,
Heforence was made to tho record, but no
such testimony was found.
Mr. Wilson said that while be did not pro
tend to carry all tbo testimony of tho tour vol
dmes In his head, be took It upon himself to
'say, and did not doubt that It woull bo so
found, that General Brady was not quostlonod
about tho noto at all. Ho was satlslled that
there was no examlnatlon-ln-chlet upon the
subject, and nono that ho rccolloctcd ou cross
examination. Moro Sllflreprcscutntloni.
Mr. Ker then procooded, but had not goue
tar beforo ho butted up against. Walsh nnd the
Chattanooga stock. Ho undertook to mko It
appear that Walsh loauod Gonorat Brady tho
stock; but Mr. Wilson drew tho record ou him
which showed that whan General Brady a3kod
tbo loan ot tho stock from Walsh the latter
told him that ho had Eold It, consequently tho
loan was not effected.
Further Illsrcpreneillntloill. .
Mr. Ker thon mado a fresh start' and direct-,
od bis attention to General Brady's nowspapor
enterprises. Ho said that General Brady
tesllllcd that after ho bought tho ItcimbUcan ho
said that ho made it a better paper than It
was beforo or had boon slnco. Mr. Kor
said bo thought thai n. nuo comment on tho
present management and tho selt.gloriaca
Hon ot himself (Drady) as odltor.
"Gorham was tho editor," said tho Court.
Ho Brans on Ills liimstnntlnu.
Mr. Ker asserted that aonoral Brady bought
up ovcry second-hand paper that was for salo
In this city and rented ovory paper throughout
the country which could bo rontod. Ho boucht
up every Impecunious correspondent who
rould bo corrupted, lu other words, Ooneral
Brndy bad pursued tho same courso In rogard
ro me newspapers mat nis couoague, ox-sstia
tor Horsey, did toward tho Administration.
Mr. Wilson, lntorrupllus, objected to tho do
parturo from tho ovldonce and called upon
tho Court to keep tho counsel within proper
bounds.
"Mr. Ker," said tho Jtidgo, "clip tho wings
ofyour Imagination and couuuo yourself to
tho ovldenco."
Ilo Hnsl lie Ilnsl
"I nm sorry," replied Mr. Kor, ''that my
temper is not as oven as Your Honor's, I havo
bad many ovldencos ot tho good intentions ot
Ibo nowepapors " Laughtor.l
"1 believe theso papers nro not doing much
barm," said the J ml so, "except to their own
ers," Ho Tries -Tally.
Mr. Ker hero took occasion to compliment
Mr. Wilson, who mado an obeisance, declared
thnt tho counsel bad dlsarmod hint and he
withdrew tho remarks he had mado. He said
that flattery with him was llko tho Ilooslor anil
his gingerbread. Ho liked It, hut got very
llttlo ot It. -,
Mr. Ker Hgaln got on tho line of tho ciso
nnd continued tnlklng up to tbo rocess time.
Mr. Ker resumed his argument attor tho In

THE FIRE AT QUEDEC.
Ilclnlls of (ho Ieslrnclloti or (ho
I'rovinclnl l'urlliiliiciit House.
Qubdkc, April 20. Tho Provincial Par
liament House was destroyed by flro last
night, involving a bcavy'lojs diOicult to 03
timato siuco tho records nnd many of tho
books can novctbo lcplaccd under any cir
cumstances. Tho library contained 30,000
volumes. Tho insurance on tho library
alone was $10,000, und on tho books aud
furniture $30,000. Tho excitement was
vcty great, following so closely ns tbo flro
did on tho sensation ntlticdcau Hall, and
many thousands of peoplo gathored about
Mountain Hill nnd between Duffer lu Tor
raco and tho Grand llattery. Tho build
ing, which looked over tho St. Louis River,
was 250 feet long with wings of aoaiothlna;
over half that depth, nnd wa3 built of
whito brick. When tho ilrowas subdued,
somewhat after midnight, llttlo was left
except tho walls nnd tho northern wing,
which escaped almost entirely. Thollamos
wcrofir3t discovered near tbo library and
at a spot that could not bo seen by tho
watchmen, so that tho flro had gained
headway beforo it was discovered. Tho
building Is located so as to batlilllcult of
access by the lira department, and beforo
anything effectivo could he dono tho who'lo
building was lu llamos. Tho complete de
struction of tho library, In tho very heart
of tho fire, Involves tho Irrepar
ablo loss of many" books on
Canadian history of which tho collec
tion had been mado a specialty. Tho rec
01 ils-of tho last sesslou of tho Provincial
Paillamcnt, including tho bills signed by
tho Lieutenant-Governor after tho last ses
sion, wero fortunately' saved, otherwise an
extra session might havo been mado nccos
sary. Tho authorities say that there are
good icasous to bcllevo that tho flro was
started by incendiaries, nnd tho peoplo be
llcvo that it was tho work of Feutaus. This,
however, Premier Mousseau refuses to say.
Tho rental for tho usa of tho site
ulono was $1,000 a year on tho
old building. Tbo contracts for
tho, crcctiou of tho new Parliament
Houses havo already been granted to tho
amount, of $370,000, and a liumbor of tho
Piovinclal Ministry stated to tho corre
spondent of tho United Pros3 Association
that It wa3 oxtromoly improbable that tho
old building would bo rebuilt. Tho erec
tion of the now buildings would bo pushed
rapidly forward. Should an extra session
of Parliament bo necessary it can probably
bo held in music mil. Tito Ministry will
meet to-day and deflno its courso of action

A BOULEVARD SENSATION.
Three Persons Wounded by n l'rus
hlini Vfho Was Mmlo Crazy by Fi
unnclnl Losses.
Pabis, April 20. Tho Boulovard dos
Italicns was tbe thcatro yc3tcrd.1v evening
of a inuidcrous scene, by which thollvc3 of
three people woro Imperiled aud for which
no scitous explanation cau bo given, About
1:30 n Prussian named Atocholler, who 4s
known on tho Bourse, diow a rovoiver on a
polico agent" named Maroselli, who was
standing in front of tho Pa33ago do l'Opera,
and would 'havo shot him but for tho in-'
terferenco of tho bystanders, who throw
themselves upon htm. Ho contrived, nov
cithelcss, to dlschargo six shots, by
which thrco persons ,vcro sovercly
wounded. Their names aro MM. Cuss.ic
and Fcard nnd Mmc. Allaire. All thrco
wero dangerously wounded. From Inquiry
which has been Instituted it appears that
after quitting tho Uourso Atocholler re
paired to a shooting gallery In tho Passago
do l'Opera, whero ho practiced until 4
o'clock. Then bo loaded his revolver and
attacked Maioscllt ou leaving tho Passago
without any explainable motive It is
supposed that tho attempt was committed
in a moment of mental dcrangomcut caused
by losses on tho llourse. Whon In tho
hands of tho polico tho prisoner kept re
peating that tho French wero dogs and
that ho was glad ho had killed ono of them,

turned informer, Messrs. Patrick Pord, of

of tho Land League; Thomas Brenuan, sec
retary of tlio Irish Land and National
Leagues, and P. J. Sheridan disclaimed all
knowledgoof tho Informer," or Dr. Galla
gher, or tho schemes tho latter is slid to in
engaged in, They avowed Iguoranco of
tho existence of nu orgaul'alioii known as
tho Emerald Club,
Mr. I. J.HIierldun,
while saying that ho knew nothing as to
tho truth or falsity of tho talo that Lynch
was telling, gavo it as his opinion that
"tbo intensity of public feeling will bo
Incicascd by tbo knowledge that many
oiganizations exist, whoro they origlually
believed that only ono or two oxistod. For
I consider that such developments 113 theso
aioconclusivo proof that tho intensity of
Irish feeling regarding English govern
ment iu Ireland is .general among tho
wholo people." Ha added that English
feeling against American sympathy for
Ireland had reached as high a pitch as It
ever cau.
Mr. Thomas llremiiiii,
a tall, powerful-looking man of 30, over six
feet high, who with Michael Davltt formed
tlio Land League movement iu England,
cxpicsscd disapproval of dynatnito as .1
modo of agitation, saying ho thought no
good would como of it, and ho would not
tako part In it and of courso would not
advocato it. "At tho samo time," ho con
tinued, "tho English Government Is
qltito 'copablo of looking aftor its
own affairs, and I do not feel
called upon at all to denounco thoso who
do bcllevo iu dynamite. You may rest as
sured that their party lias no connection in
tho slightest degree with tho Land League,
nor do I think tho cause of tho- Lind
League Is advanced by it. I do not thluk
that any g&odcausocan bo advanced by tho
advocacy of such methods. At tho samo
lime, as long as outrages aro perpetrated in
tho uamo of tho law upou tho peoplo of Ire
land, wo must, taking human n.ituro as It.
is, and human cndur.inco as being limited,
bo prepared to And reprisals following."
. Mr. 1'nlrlck 1'ixnu
said that ho had found Irishmen iu tho
West united; that thoParnell Land League
would bo dissolved nnd a National Leaguo
would ho formed to co-operato with tho
National Leaguo of Ireland. Ho was of tho
opinion that thcro would bo no clashing
between tho modcrato men and tho dyna
mitlsts ; but that all would work lu quiet
nnd harmony for tlio common object, tho
freedom and nationality of old Ireland.
O'Douovan Rossa, of tho UuUed IrU'man,
and John Brcsliu, of tho Irish Nation, wero
seen, and both disclaimed any knowledge
of Dr. Gallagher, Lynch or tbo Emerald
Club.
The lunrlcrs or the I'morulil Club
nro thus described iu tho Tribune, from
which tiio foregoing was mado up :
"On the third-story of tho house at tho
northeast corner of tho llowory und bocond
ttrcot the Bmerald Club has been holding
weekly meetings on Tuospay oronlngi foe
tbieo yeari. Previous to that tlmo Its meet
ings were held In tho l'loronco Building, at
l'lrst street and Second avenue. Tbo building
lu which tbo meetings aro now held Is usod by
a number of lodges ot various secret societies
abd tho presence of tho Emeralds among them
hna attracted no particular attention.
Neither tho acront. Mr. B. San
ders, ot No. 151 Bowery, nor tho
Janltoron tho promises, had any kaowlodgo of
tho perEons who constituted tho club. Beforo
the room was taken, a man who was au Irish
man, called and oxamlncd it carofully, so tbo
Janitor eaid. Ho asked very particular quos-
'and whether by any possibility sounds could
do nenru inrougn mem. ueing hiusikm on
theso points, be said tho room woull do, and
ho paid ono qunrtor's rent In advance. From
Hint time to tho proseut thoro has been no
written ogreement between tho ngont and his
tenants, but tbo rent has always boon properly
paid, Tho Jaultor, who Is u Gorman, said
that bo thought that thoro was nu
averago attendance ot about sixty persons
at the meetings, and tho raombors woro very
quiet during their sosslons. Wo had no com
plaint to mako of them except that thoy kept
sciy Into hours, their moetluga nearly always
extending beyond midnight. Ho did not know
tho namo ot ono porson connected with tho
organization, and ho bad notlcod as a remark
able fact, that never did ho nud a scrap of
paier lying about tho rooms aftor any ot the
meetings. Tho club had a private locked box,
but with that exception tho furniture used
was common to all tho societies that occupied
tho room."
Similar Societies,
At Ryan's llquorstote, at tho lio'.vcry and
Fourth street, a great resort for Irishmen,
it was said that nothing was known of
Burns, or of Lynch, or of tho Emerald
Club, und at tho Florence Building notli
could bo learned of them. Tho polico said
that thero had never becu any complaints
against tho Emerald Club or auy of tho
societies that used tho premises, and so their
attention bad not becu drawn to them.
At Military Hall nothing was kuown of
tho Owen Roo Society, but tho William
Davis Society, it wassaid. met thero weekly
on Wednesday evenings. As iu tho caso of.
tbo Emerald Club, nothing was known of
tbo names or of tho members, except that
three, of them wero callcd.SulIlvau. Il3tli
of theso societies aro understood to bo
hianches of tho organization of tho Clan-na-(lael,
tho most secret of all Irish soclctlos.
Dr. (iallHKhcr'H l.lfo lu Ilrooklyn.
Dr. Thomas Gallagher lives or did llvo
until about six weeks ago with his mother
and sister at No. 121 Manhattan avenue,
Biocklyu, E. D. Dr. Gallagher Is a young
man about thirty-llyjf"i,'ear3 old. Ilo Is
spoken of in tho ucigliboiltood as a pleasant
man, though somewhat reticent. Ho lived
in tlio Seventeenth Ward of Brooklyn
(Grcciitiolntl for four rears orloncer and
had a good practice Ho was publicly
commended from tlio pulpit by tho parish
liricst, Father Murphy, as a "man of good
moral character nnd n conscientious, God
fearing Catholic."
Whiio somo of Dr. Gallagher's neighbors
express surprise that ho should ho rulxod
up in such a plot, others S3y that ho is
"just tho right man to send ou suoh busi
ness." Some of his iutlmato friends refuse
to bcliovo that ho Is tho samo man spoken
of in tho dispatches. Gallagher is au
illltctato man, Ho was formerly a
moulder in an iron foundry, and served
his apprenticeship ih Glasgow, Scotland.
Asterward, ho worked at tho Singer Sow-Ing-Machiuo
Works, nt Elizabeth, N. J.
Ilo then entered Bcllevito Hospital. Al
though not well read, ho was cousidorod
naturally smart. His practlco was worth
at least $20 a day, but was always most on
lliely among tbo tencment-houso class.
Outside f that class hodoesuot appear to
havo been held in much esteem. Tho police
of tho Seventh Precinct say that ho uas
been of scrvico to them in cases of accident,
and when tho Smith box factory was
burntd ho went to tho station and droned
tho wounds of tho children.
In latt October or November Dr. Galli
ghcr, his neighbors say, went to Europe,
ostensibly to visit nud study tlio groat
hospitals of London, Paris nnd Vionua, but
ho ltturned it. six weeks. After remaining
nt homo for about a month ho again left his
bouse. Ou his llrst trip to Europe tho Hoc
tor did not appear to havo much monoy.
On his icturii from his second lie had a let
ter of cicdlt for 00, which
Is believed by bis uolghbors to
havo been provided from tho O Djno-
van Rossa fund. On his second trip his
family gavo ont that ho had gouo lo Massa

him by n deceased unclo. It was also statod
that ho had gono lo Chicago for a legacy of
$30,000 fiom an undo; that ho had gono to
somo other rolut West for a fortuno of $70,
000, nnd that, while there, a telegram had
summoned him to appear and inherit a for
tuno of u quarter of n million dollars lefc
him by his nunt. Theso statements woro
made, it Is now behoved, by his nolghhora
to cover his real movements.
It wan reported that beforo going to Ett
ropo Dr. Gallagher bought a number of
rubber bags from druggists in tho neighbor
hood. All but ono denied tho statement.
From ono bo bought such qnantitioi of

neighbor and requested him to carry It to
another neighbor, in which ho said, " I
acknowledge beforo God and man'' but did
not say what tho deed was, and it was
supposed bo meant the taking of his own
life. In tho letter ho expressed his wish as
to tho disposition of his property. They
had no children, nnd ho wished to havo tho
most of the proporty given to his wlfo's
relatives. This left everything iu regard
to bis wife's whereabouts a mystery. Ho

went to tho placo and found somo articles
of clothing which had fallen out of tho
banking of tho sheep-shed, whoro -tho sheep

shecp-shed, If sho had been killed, and
on Monday morning ho obtained help
and began to dig through thcVmanure.
At a depth of about two and a-half feet ho
found tho woman's body. A rovoiver was
