"Come and see me in about Two Years from now," said the Rink, "and we will Con dole together. I have Been There myself." SO IT GOES.

'It is the mucous membrane, that wonderful semi fluid envelope surrounding the delicate tissues of the air and food passages, that Catarrh makes its strong hold. Once established, it eats into the veiy vitals, and renders life but a long-drawn breath of misery and disease, dulling the sense of hearing, trammeling the power of speech, destroying the faculty of smell, tainting tho breath, and killing the refined pleasures of taste. Insidiously, by creeping on from a simple cold in the head, it assaults the membraneous lining and envelopes the bones, eating through the delicate coats and causing inflammation, sloughing and death. Notning short of total eradication will secure health to the patient, and all alleviattves are simply procras tinated sufferings, leading to a fatal termination. Sanford's Radical Cure, by Inhalation and by Internal administration, has never failed. Even when the dis ease has made frightful inroads on delicate constitu tions, hearing, smell and taste have been recovered and th9 disease thoroughly driven out." Sanford's Radical Cure consists of one bottle of the Radical Cure, one box Catarrhal Solvent and one Im proved Inhaler, neatly wrapped in one package, with full directions; price, $1.

A Protest Against Ecclesiastical Interference Support and Sympathy for McGlynn. , New York, Jan. 30. An audience of about 4,000 persons, representing almost all classes of society, attended the meeting held nnder the auspices of the Central Labor Union, at the Academy of Music, to-night, to protest against ecclesiastical interference in politics and to ex press sympathy with Rev. Dr. McGlynn. Rob ert Crowe presided, and in opening the meeting said Archbishop Corrigan aimed a deadly blow at the constitutional rights of American citizens and free speech when he attempted to muzzle a eood Driest "Look." said the speaker, "at the difference. One lives in a marble palace, with an army of servants, consorting with the O'Don- ohues, Crokers, Tammany Hall, and the money bags, while the other, a poor priest, with $800 a year, half of which he gives to the poor, is de nied the right of free speech." After a few words from James J. Uahan, of the Catholic Herald, Henry George stepped to the front of the stage, and, after the applause had subsided, 6aid: "Let no one mistake the temper of this meet ing, tor in all times and everywhere the cry has eono up, "It is against religion." There is noth ing in this against religion or any of its forms." Continuing, Mr. George Baid he had always dis countenanced the scoffers of religion, and he did so now. What they had met for was to protest against the use or arbitrary power to coerce American citizens. The reason why Dr. Mc Glynn does not leave the Catholic Church is that he is a Catholic, and the docrines that he has stood up for are those that any Catholic can stand up for. After speeches by Master Workman Quinn, resolutions were adopted resenting the interfer ence of church potentates in American politics, and pledging support to Dr. McGlynn. There were no disturbances at St. Stephen's Church to-day. Forty policemen were present in plain clothes, but there was nothing for them to do. Father Colton, the new pastor, officiated at one mass, and Father Donnelly, the retiring pastor, at another. The parishioners refrained from making contributions at the collections. Father Colton appears to be conciliating the peo ple as fast as could T)e expected. . A TIMELY DISCOVERY. An Alleged Anarchist. Plot to Sae Spies and Others from Death on the Gallows. Chicago, Jan. 30. Police Captain Schaack, in an interview to-day, admitted that he had been for over a fortnight investigating what ap peared to be an Anarchist plot to save Spies and his fellow-conspirators from death on the gal lows. Within a month there has been a marked revival of interest in the Anarchist meetings in this city, and the efforts of the police to keep track of their proceedings have redoubled. As a result. Captain Schaack came 'nto possession of a drawing which was recog ized as the basement plan of the jail and Crim inal Court building. It was accurate ift every particular. Even the sewers and waste-pipes were located. Basement plans of the buildines on Clark street, extend ing to the jail alley, were also shown, From certain of these buildings lines were drawn which met in the center of the jail-yard. Investigation showed that the basements indicated were those for rent, or of which the leases could be purchased. Captain Schaack's inquiries led to the theory that the lines centering In the, jail-yard represented possible or projected tunnels. Ne gotiations bad been entered into for the lease of one basement by prospective shoe dealers, who stipulated for the division of the basement by a close partition separating the front from the back. Boxes were to be delivered and taken from the rear entrance. A close watch has been kept, but without result, and hopes of capturing the conspirators have been abandoned. Captain Schaack believes that the design was to cheat the gallons by blowing up the condemned An archists, and with them the officers delegated to conduct the execution. If tunnels were de signed to enable the Anarchists to escape, the lines would not reach to the jail-yard, but rather to the jail itself. VrrJ STREET FIGHT IN BELFAST.

RIOTING IN BELFAST. Encounters In Wliicli a Large Number of People Are Hurr, but Nobody Killed. London, Jan. 30. There was serious rioting ro the Carrick Hill, Peter's Hill and Shank Hill districts of Belfast on Saturday night Some soldiers of the West Surrey regiment had words with a party of Catholics, and, it is claimed, in salted the latter, who in revenge began to stone the soldiers. The crowd quickly augmented in nurfibers, and the newcomers joined in the hurl ing of ,'paving-stones. The soldiers were over powered and had some difficulty in escaping, and most f f them were injured. The police, upon arriving in force at the scene of the disturbance, had a severe encounter with the rioters, but suc ceeded in making over a hundred arrests. One coEsta&Ie was so badly beaten that he is likely to die. . The militia pickets were ordered to com plete the restoration of order, and have been on duty ever since. To-night the rioting began again, and after a fierce struggle between the police and mob, firing began on both sides. The affray soon becamea regular battle, the firing being almost continuous. Later dispatches show the first reports of the rioting ;to have been very much exaggerated. Reliable advices state that although a large number of soldiers, police and rioters were disabled by gun-shot wounds, some of them being seriously injured, no one was killed. In addition to those hit by bullets many of the combatants were severely hurt by stone3 and clubs. The town is quiet to-night, and the au thorities have no apprehension of another out break. " Altogether, fifty rioters have been arrested. The trouble originated on Saturday night, in a row between Protestants and Catholics. The arrival of the police incensed the mob, and led to a free use of; revolvers and stones. The po lice were were compelled to fire for their own protection.' The Mayor and other authorities did their best to prevent a repetition of the riotfne to-night, but without suc cess," .;ssr-. twjtV--7H:rftj were small, compared with those on Saturday. Only three persons were arrested to-night The outbreak to-night was caused by the appearance of two constables who gave evidence before the riots investigation commission. The constables were roughly handled, and reinforcements had to be called out Some prisoners were taken and the crowd tried to rescue them, when the police were again compelled to fire in their own de fense. One constable was severely wounded and was sent to an infirmary. The others who were injured were taken to their homes. CHURCHILL'S EXPLANATION. It Was Not What Gladstonians Expected, and Has Caused a Change of Programme. London, Jan. 30. Lord Randolph Churchill's failure to make a sensational expose while ex plaining his retirement from the Cabinet has be wildered the Oladstonians and frustrated their plan of action at the opening of Parliament Mr. Gladstone had counted upon the revelations of Churchill of all the horrible things he was supposed to have unearthed while investigating the matters of the great "spending" departments of the government, and wandering amid the intricacies of various circumlocution offices. But if the late Chancellor of the Exchequer really has any such sinister knowledge, he must be reserving its utterance for some future time when it may be more useful to him than at pres ent; for it is agreed on all sides that there was nothing startling in what he said in his speech of explanation the other day. The Tories are exultant over the flat failure of the threatened outbreak, and Mr. Gladstone ha3 been obliged to hastily remodel his parliamentary plans of cam paign. , Be has advised the Liberals that all op position to the address in reply to the speech from the throne be left to the individual initia tive of members, and that it assume no party form. This fact having become known, adds still more to the good spirits of the Conserva tives. CHARLES STEWART PARNELL. Unauthenticated Report that His Health Is Falling: Very Rapidly. New York, Jan. 30. The Journal this mom ine printed tho following undr a London date: "Tlie state of Mr. Parnell's health is occasioning the greatest alarm to his friends. His condition is very grave. He looks pale and thin and-is physically a mere shadow of his former self. Distressing rumors are afloat that his mind has become affected, and that he is entirely unfitted to act as the vigorous leader of the Irish Nation alists in Parliament. Hostile reports even say that the 'Uncrowned King' is bordering upon in sanity. I give these statements with all reserve and hope, with all other friends of Ireland, that they may prove untrue. The wearing nature of his illness during the recess has certainly told heavily upon him." GENERAL FOREIGN NEWS. Contingencies that Slay Influence Explorer Stanley on Ills African Expedition.

THE BALTIMORE TRUNK MYSTERY. Unger Breaks Down and Makes a Confession, Giving Fnll Details of Ilis Hideous Crime. .New York. Jan. 30. Edward Unger. who is charged with the murder of Aueust Bohle, and afterwards shipping the mangled remains in a trunk to Baltimore, made a full confession of the horrible tragedy, last night, to Inspector Byrnes. After returning from the Tombs police court yesterday afternoon, Unger appeared very nervous, and when near the Central office he turned to Inspector Byrnes and said: "You are trying to hang me, ain't you?" "You know whether you have committed any crime or not," the Inspector replied. On reaching headquarters the prisoner was taken to his cell and locked up. At C o'clock last evening Unger was taken out of his cell and shown the trunk in which the remains of his victim had been packed. The prisoner shud dered and turned away. The new hammer and knife were then shown him. The sight of the weapons with which the crime had been com mitted was too much for the wretched assassin, who almost fell to the floor with fear. ' The prisoner was then led back to his cell again, but before being locked up Inspector Byrnes told him that when he was ready to tell the truth to let him know. At 9 o'clock last night Unger called the turnkey and requested an interview with the Inspector. The prisoner was brought from his cell and taken to the Inspector's private office, where he said he was ready to tell the whole truth. Unger then, in the presence of Inspector Byrnes and several witnesses, made the following statement of his crime: "I live at No. 22 Ridge street. I have known Aueust Bohle since November, 188G. I first met him m my lager-beer saloon in Lldridge street, where he called upon me about an advertise ment I had nut in a paper for a partner, but we could not agree about the price, and I sold, the place out. Soon after Bohle came to live with me in Rtfge srreet""The agreement watbat h'S should pay half the rent and one-third of the household expenses. After supper on the night of Thursday, Jan. 20, Bohle and myself were alone, talking about different matters. He was sitting on tbe sofa and I was in the act of poking the fire. He was very profane, and called me some very hard names. I told him to stop, and put my band up to turn his head away. He struck me. I sprang at him and attempted to strike him with the poker. Wo then grappled, and be picked op a knife and attempted to stab me. I ran into tbe bedroom and picked up a hammer from off a chest. He made another at tempt at me with the knife, and I received a slight cut on the hand. I then struck him with the hammer, anhe staggered. I struck him again, and the head of the" hammer entered deep into his skull, up .to the handle, and he fell dead on the sofa. This was about 10 o'clock. I expected my son home, and in order to conceal the re mains of the dead man. I took the body from the sofa and laid it on the floor. I then took the cot upon which Bohle used to sleep, and placed it over the body and covered it up with tbe bed clothes. When my son came home, I told him that Bohle had gone out Shortly afterward we went to bed in the same room with tho dead man. On the following morning, after my son had gone to work, I went to Grand street, bought a saw for 90 cents and two yards of ribbon. Be fore returning to the house I took several drinks of whisky. On reaching home I spread the rub ber on the floor and put the body on top of it I then started to cut the body up with the saw. I first severed the head from the body, wrapped it up in paper and laid it aside. I then cut both legs off and, I think, the left arm, and finding the legs too long to put in the trunk I cut both feet off and placed them in the trunk. I then placed the body on top of the legs, and the arms on top of the body. I wiped up the blood with some clothing of the deceased and some paper, put them in the trunk, and tied the trunk up. I then left the bouse and went to the Grand-street ferry, carryine the head with. me. I boarded a Williamsburg boat, and when in mid-stream I threw the head into the river. I then went to the residence of Henry Siegel, No. 205 Throop street, Brooklyn, but on finding that he was not well I told his wife that Eohle had gone to Chicago. I returned home, and en the following day I shipped the trunk to Henry Bence, No. 395 Kent avenue. On the same day I transferred the trunk by Westcott's express to this city, having posted the following address upon it: 'John A. Wilson, Baltimore, Md.; to be called for.' The trunk was brought to this city and transported by Adams express to Balti more. I did not mean to kill Bohle. He was a very quarrelsome man, and I believed my life to be in danger when he struck me. I took the method I did of disposing of the body because I wanted to save myself and family from dis grace." Unger identified the trunk and the bloody clothing brought from Baltimore. The coro ner's inquest in the matter will be held on Tues day. BRIG HAM I0TJXG."

Manning1 and Jordan to Retire from Service About the First of May. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. Washington, Jan. 30. Although Secretary Manning will answer no inquiries relating to the report that he is shortly to re the from the Treas ury Department, it can be stated on reliable au thority that such is Mr. Manning's determina tion. The Secretary has discussed the matter with the President, and the time for his retire ment has been decided upon, whicn will be about May 1st The cause of Mr. Manning'resigna- tion is the tender of the presidency of a .banking institution, which i3 to be established at Ne -York. His impaired health doubtlipronjpteil him to accept an offer that would .relieve htm of the labor and responsibility of the Treasury De partment, and furnish him with a salary three times greater than that paid tho Secretary of the Treasury. Treasurer Jordan will, also retire from the Treasury to accept the vice-presidency of the same institution, under Mr. Manning. There will be considerable speculation as to who will succeed Mr. Manning. " Assistant Secretary Fairchild was so long the acting "Secretary, and managed the department with such signal abil ity that gossip naturally associates him with the succession. It is believed that the President has consulted Mr. Manning about his successor, and that the man has been selected. Many persons here believe that Representative M. L. Scott, of Pennsylvania, will be Mr. Manning's successor, and this belief has been strengthened' by the fact that Mr. Scott was in consultation to a late hour last night with the President aud Secretary Manning. IMPUDENT CANADIANS. A Number of Their Fishinjr Vessels Appear in American Waters Near Eastport. Washington, Jan. 30. A telegram from Eastport Me., reports that when tho sun waa rising yesterday morning, a large fleet of Ca nadian vessels were taking herring in the waters of Passamaquoddy bay. The news of. the new arrivals. EoonT spread from house to house and when the sun was an hour high the wharves were crowded with an excited gane of Maine fishermen and their wives and children. As this is the time of year when immense schools of herring run in, the citizens saw at once what their Canadian brothers were after. One of the boats was hailed from - the shore by one of the angry citi zens, and in reply to the question as to what they were doing, one of the Canadians answered: "Wre are taking Yankee herring; that's what we are doing." . When this information was made known to the citizens, their indignation knew no bounds. Threats of retaliation were rifo, and it is belived that had there been any available ordnance in town the angry fishermen would have opened fire on the insolent Canadians. As the day advanced news was re ceived from St- Andrews that the Canadian cruiser Middleton had touched at that port during the forenoon. Later in the day she was cruising off Eastport, and the news spread that the Middleton was there to prevent any Amer ican fishermen entering Canadian waters to fish. The indignant citizens were told by the Canadian fishermen, who were within a stone's throw of the shore, that the Middleton was there to protect them aeainst the Yankees. One of the captains of one of the Canadian vessels laughed insolently at the hopeless condition of the Eastport fishermen. He said tho Yankees could not molest him, and he proposed to fish just whereverit suited hi3 fancy. When asked if he did not know that he was within the line, he said:' "Of course, I am aware of it When a man can almost step from his vessel to the shore he 13 pretty sure he . is inside the line. The herring just now happen to be on this side of old Passama quoddy, and have beent for several days. Why shouldn't we come here and take) them? You Yankees follow the fish into our waters, and when the cruisers are not around they dodge inside the dead-line and take all the fish they can get Why shouldn't we do the same, especially when there are no cruisers about to seize our craft! We would be more wary about entering your waters if your coast was guarded. As it is, we would he considered -fools to tie our vessels up to the wharves simply because the fish happen to be on the American side of the bay." When asked his opinion of Senator Edmunds's bill, he said: "If its provisions were enforced the Canadian government would have to rightabout-face and adopt a different policy, or some thing would drop hard in the maritime proy vince?." Should the government continue its present policy, a collision the comine season can hardly be avided, and after that no one can tell whac the end will be. The indignant townspeople to night forwarded a dispatch stating their griev ances to Senator Frye, at Washington. What Might Happen in Case of. War. Washhifiton Special. 1 . "I see that a naval officer predicts tho imme diate destruction of Washington in case of war with Great Britain," said an army officer to-day. "Undoubtedly the capita and ail our coast ports would be at the mercy of the enemy in such an event," he continued, "but the Canadian border is the part of the country that most needs look- I jng after. There i3 nothing to prevent English guntoats ffora swarming through Lake Ontario and effecting complete disaster and ruin. Ac cording to tbe treaty of 1817, each country ia allowed but one vessel on Lake Ontario, and we have onlv the harmless old Michigan in that vi- ,. cinity. The British have none, but they have complete control of the navigation of the St Lawrence, a3 least as far as Kingston, and they possess just 111 gunboats that can navi iat it The St Lawrence and the WTelland canal afford ample opportunity for reaching the lakes. To be sure there are numerous rapids in the St Lawrence, but elnco 1817 the Canadians have been busy building canals around these rapids, so that to day a vessel drawing twelve feet can pass through, and by the opening of navigation this will be increased to fourteen feet Forty-eight hours after the declaration ot war it would be too late tor us to make a move. The big British lron-clada would take posaessioa of the entrance to the St Lawrence and keep u
