I London, Doe. On reassembling: the
I Commission to-day President Hnnncn bad bo
ll lore him tbroa offenders against tho dignity of
I bis court. All hut been concernod in issuing
H placards and convening meetings, which con-
Ki stltuted the grossest contempt ot court, but ns
ft the oblef offender was an Influential Baronot,
M another a Colonel In her Majesty's army, aud
R all Englishmen, thsy were allowed to go away
If unpunished after apologizing for their mls-
I conduct. The eootety folk who had crowded
into the court In tho expectation of soolng a
Baronet and a Colonel fined or mayhap sont to
jail went away disgusted.
They had no Idea tho Timet was going to put
In the box one ot their most sensational wit
nesses. Nolther had Sir Oharleo lltissell and
the other counsel for the Irish morn hers, who
later on complained once moreof the Attorney
Oeneral'a pettifogging tricks ntul lack of tho
elements of prolesslonal courtesy. Tbe wit
ness referred to was an unwholesome-looking
creature named Thomas O'Connor; lie kissed
the book with much oatontatlon. and then,
steered by Webster, proud and happy as a
young parent enoouragtng the first baby to
( walk, told a tafe of the Land Leagne Inner
I Circle, composed of paid desperadoes, who
carried out tbe League's bohesU by means of
outrages and Intimidation.
O'Connor airily admitted that be took a
prominent part in the bad work. The witness
wary safely accused of organizing outragos
! one noran. Secretary of the Castle Island
branch League who has been dead three
years, and he referred to doouments which ho
said aro not now in existence. Had the witness
stopped bers he would hare been reasonably
safe from contradiction, but ho went on to ac
cuse Timothy Harrington ot baring paid him
to Intimidate people, and as that gentleman Is
Is very much alive, O'Connor will live to regret
that be did not confine bis accusations to
dssd men.
Sir Charles Bussell. taken completely by sur
Jf prise, at first declined to cross-examine the
S witness, but finally agreed to take him In hand,
('on tbe understanding that O'Connor should
reenter the witness box as soon as the Irish
numbers hare had time to lnauire Into his
Tidence and antecedents, a prospect which,
to judge from his faolal expression, is by no
means agreeable to the self-styled moonlighter
O'Connor. "
Bussell'a preliminary cross-examination was
purely a Ashing one. and under the circum
stances it says rauoh for tbe learned angler's
skill that he actually managed to hook ono or
two minnows in tbe shape ol admissions that
the witness had been in communication with
tbe Tory Orange Landlords' Association In
! Ireland; that he bad been In constant com
munication with the police respecting bis evi
dence, and that until he went Into the witness
box be bad never mentioned that Harrington
bad paid him money.
BytAaAuocitU&mu.
On the reassembling of tbe Parnell Com
mission to-day a man named Kellaber tes
tified that by meaoB of tnreata tbat they
would burn his house and barns moonlight-
witness was compelled to swear loyalty to the
National Leagne and tbat he would quit tbe
employ of a farmer wbo was under boycott
Another witness, named O'Conner, testified
tbat George Twisa and John Connell Induced
him to join the inner circle of the League, say
ing It was a fine thing to be a soldier ot Par
nell's. and tbat he would get little pay lor
doing almost nothing. Tbe circle which be
joined was known as Tbe Boys."
Witness took pan in moonlight expeditions
of "Tbe Boys." carrying guns and revolvers.
Timothy Horan. secretary of a branch of the
League, paid witness and nine others six sbil
lines each on the -occasion of on outrage.
Timothy Harrington promised to pay the wit
ness and others their own Brio if tbey could
Knur tbe election of one Mr. B weeny, a mein
r of tbe League, as J?oor Law Guardian. He
instructed them not to kill voters, but only to
frighten them greatly and compel tbem to
sign voting papers. Those who refused were
Coerced and compelled to sign. Mr. Harring
ton paid tbe witness 1. Air tbe members of
tbe inner circle belongod to tbe League. Mem
lershlp in the League was essential to mem
ersbJp in "The Boys." Tbe day before Cul
otty was shot bis offence was discussed by the
league Committee. Afterward Father O'Cal
lehansald be knew that Culiotty was on ugly
Ban anC would soon be uglier.
Tbe Currasb branch ot the League applied to
tbe Central League for old for evicted tenants
and received a reply, signed Timothy Harring
ton, in which the reason given for the refusal
tarts pond to tbe appeal of tho Curroga branch
was that tbe place was too dull.
Cross-examination was postponed.
Canon Griffin testified to the disturbed con
dition of Castle Island in 1881 and 1883 and
said be believed many persons were coerced
asd compelled todo things wblch were contrary
to their wishes. ... ...
On cross-examination tbe witness said there
were a thousand good exemplary priestu wbo
approved ot the creation of the League. He
believed the League kept up the spirit of malice
and snleen. Before it began the work of aglta-
L tion the land was greatly overrented. Witness
bad in several eases applied to landlords in be
half of their tenants for a reduction of rent and
tils applications bod been successful.

living near Tlorence, Ran., while returning
homo from town, was murdered by some ono
who got into his wagon from behind and shot
him through the back ot the head. After being
shot he fell to tho bottom of the wagon nnd was
carried homo by the team he was driving.
Lverr effort was made to discover tho mur
derer, but as tho man bad not been robbed and
was not known to possess an enemy In the
country thore was nooluetowork upon. The
widow was so overcome- by the trngody that

Before leaving Kanraa her brother had her

power ot attorney to transact her business.
That same full her brother wrote to her. ac
cusing her of living in adultery with her hus
band's relative. Dr. Jferrlnult, nnd told ber tbat
he had converted all her personal property Into
money, cold tho farm which, bo said, she bad
Ueedod him beforo leaving Knnsns and was
f:olug to leave the country. He Informed her
t would be no me to write, as he would he
eons before a letter could reach him. Shu

A SE1T DASOKJ2 ON THE ELEVATED.
PHHiRersU a Hint a Avenue Train Alarmed
by the Uelplcssaesa am Drunken Qnnrd.
The paesenirerawho rodo on the Sixth ave
nue elevated train which loft Fifty-eighth street
at 8i o'clock yesterday morning were dis
turbed by tbe conduct ot tbo oonductcr, wbo
was also guard between the first and second
cars nnd who bad the entire responsibility of
the running ot the train. It soon became ap
parent that tbe guard was very drunk and ut
terly unable to discharge his duties properly.
He managed to keep tbe train going without
exciting any special comment until It had
reached Twenty-eighth street, and to all ap
pearancos ho had been sober when he took
charge of the train, but tbe motion of tbe cars
bad driven the liquor to bis head so tbat be
could hardly keepbis feet.
At tbe Twenty-eighth street station be lost
his grip on the gate handles and eame within
an ace of falling between the car platforms.
Several passengers who were on tbe platform
stood guard oterblm nnd prevented bim from
maiming or injuring himself. At the Eighth
street station be forgot to give the signal to go
ahead, and everybody waited patiently for a
few minutes until one ot the rear guards
rushed through the car and hurriedly pulled
tbe bell rope.
The conductor had become so befuddled by
this time tbat he bad the hardest work In the
world to keep his feet. When South Ferry was
reached the conductor left his train and was
handed over to the train despatches wbo put
a substitute in his place at once.
Col. Uain said yesterday afternoon that the
train deepatcber at South Ferry had promptly
informed him of tbe condition ot tbe conductor
when tbe train reached the ferry. He was im
mediately suspended pending an Investigation,
and if tbe charges are proved against him be
wilt be dismissed from tbe service. He has
been with the road for nearly ten years and
has held tho responsible place of conductor for
several years, and tbls was bis first offence.
None of tbe passengtrs who were on tbe train
made any complaint against the conductor

District MesMnger Boyn Has Tale SXecttng
ana Did AM the Talking.
Two thousand district messenger boys
were invited to a White Cross personal purity
meeting in Association Hail last night, and
about 300 Western Union and American Dis
trict boys came and kept their caps on like
policemen at a funeral. They came to have a
good time. Every new comer was cheered by
bis friends. One boy, evidently not very long
on the force, committed the blunder of taking
off his hat, but was quickly reminded' tbat it
was agaicet the rules by a tap on bis bead
from the fist of tbe boy behind blm.
ttuon iuu uHiauiBi uviiaa yiajinte. some ono
respectfully asked him to "Piny a little livelier,
that's no toon." A Western Union boy started
opposition to the orgnnlst by beginning on
" All the Democrats area-weeping, andallthe
boys chimed in." -
In tbe midst of the noise one ot the commit
tee mounted the platform and a very small boy
in front row geeted him with. "Hello, mister,
how's yer liver?" Tbo committeeman begged
tolntrodnce five members of the gymnasium,
and tbe gymnasts began. The nerformnnco
was not entirely up to the variety theatre
standard, and the boys were Inclined to guy It.
One ot tbem made a bouauet ot newspapers
nnd throw it on tbe stage.
Tbe next event on tbo programme was an
nounced as a speech on personal purity by tbe
Itev. Dr. John K. Pnxtoo.wbo preaches to Jay
Gould and Bussell Boqe. Dr. Paxton rose from
his seat, and, after patiently hearing somebody
nsk bim bow be felt, and another, where be
bad bought his necktie, said:
"Boys. I've heen through tbe war, bnt I sur
render bore without fighting, lou'ro too much
for me. Good night." ...
"Goodnight, sleep tight, don't let the bugs
bite." answered tbo audience with one voioo,
and rose to go. Amid tho pandemonium mys
tlo crlos of "Hooray for twenty-one I" were
beard, answered by others, "Hooray for thirty-elx!"

Indianapolis, Dec. 4. Tim friends of
James G. Blslno aro committing political as
sault and battery upon Gen. Harrison. Kllher
they are trying to break a way Into tbo Cabi
net for tbo man from Jlnlue, or one of the most
remarkable series of epistolary and verbal co
incidences eter known Is now In course ot exc
lusion in this city. Tbe President cloct is
being flooded with letters urging the appoint
ment of Blaine to the Cabinet, and ninny
of his visitors recently have Imposed up
on him their anxiety for the same
thing. There Is no positive internnl evi
dence tbnt the writers of these letters are
Inspired by anything but their own Individual
ideas, but the fact tniit so many of them should
come at once, and that verbal messages of a
similar tenor should happen along at tbo same
time Is likely to be regarded ns Indicating that
soma one has patted around the word to
whoop things upall around tbo magnetic line.
These letters from Blaine men naturally come
chlofly from the EaBt. The names t-lgned to
them. It Is said. Include those of muuy men
prominent In the councils of tho party.
But this isn't all. If J. G. Blaine, or tho friends
ot J. G, Blaine, are attempting highway rob
bery or something ot that sort upon the
political person of the President elect, the ene
mies of James G. Blaine are around enacting
tho role of an extravagant police force with
extra long and heavy clubs. It any one part ot
tbo mall of the Presidentelect at present equals
In volume and vigor that which is devoted
to urging upon bim the expedlenoy of appoint
ing Mr. Blaine to tbe Cabinet, it Is that portion
which is devoted to tbe presentation of reasons
why Mr. Blaine should not bo appointed to tho
Cabinet. The bulk of this sort ot mall comes
from the West; but tbero Is also a singularly
large number of letters against Mr. Blalno be
ing received from Mugwumps in all parts of
tbe country.
Tho arguments presented againBt Mr. Blaine
aro as numerous as the letters almost, but one
that Is oommon Is tbe assertion tbat bis work
as Secretary of State under Garfield showed
bim to be a dangerous man for such a place,
and one certain to got any Administra
tion into hot water with which be had
to do. It is more than Intimated that
Gen. Harrison, If tbe flood of Blaine letters
continues, will be inclined to regard them s
part of a plot to force Blnlno upon blm. aud
5111 resent It in the most effective manner. If
en. Harrison does onco make up his mind
that any sot of men are raanuiocturlng on ap
parent public or party opinion to induce blm to
carty out their desires, it will be very chilly
weather for tbat set ot men during the next
four years.
Incidentally. Gen. Harrison in not likely to
be slow to take advantage of any mistakes of
Blaine's friends that will give him an excuse to
pass over Blalno. Anything that Gen. Harri
son can do to favor .Mr. Blaine, so his friends
say, except to take him Into bis Cabinet.wlll oe
done. Contemplating tbu prospect of Mr Biulno
in bis official family, uon. Harrison feele.
tboy say, as Satan felt when be dropped into a
court and heard a sharp lawyer argue a last).
Satan, it will be remembered, expressed the
highest admiration lor the lawyer's ability, but
denied blm admission to hell on the ground
tbat if the lawyer came In Satan was very
likely to And himself out of work.
Tbe local Bepnblleen politicians contlnuo to
be worked up over tbe allegsd visit of Matt (Juay
,touan.'HrrlflanEvcn. the poaUlVsassurnnca
given to-day that no suoh visit took place does
Set satisfy them, and tbey are sure that even if
lr. Quay wss not here ho must be going to be
here soon. very train is watched nnd every
stranger scanned closely to guard against the
possibility of Mr. Ouay getting Into town, mak
ing tbe offices up into a small bundle and run
ning off with tbem before any of tbo local poli
ticians have a chance to interfere.
Tbe fact Is Mr. guar will rrobably visit the
President elect before long, perbaps next week,
as Oen. Hurrison has declined an lniution to
join a bunting party then In tho southern pnrt
of the State, on tbe ground tbat he will have
important business to look after. But Mr.
Quay Is not going to do the ennak net when he
comes. " Mr, Ouay will come lust like any or
dinary citizen, sold Private Secretary Ila'fonl
to-day, "I don't suppose that there will be any
Seat parade about his visit, but certainly
ere will be no attempt to conceal It- Why
should there be?"
Gen. Lonsstreet started back to his home
tbb afternoon, after having been the recipient
ot special social honors here. He and bts
Georgia friends were shown about the city by
Judge Martlndale. and iu the evening Gen. and
Mrs. Harrison and ex-Gor. Porter were amorjg
the guests at a dinner In his honor. This
morning Gen. Longstreet was Judge Mr.rlln
dalu'fl guest at the new Denlson. and held a
sort of informal reception. Before ho left this
afternoon he was entertained at luncboon ct
the same hotel. Gen. Harrison was not able
to be among tbe guests, but was roprenented
brhl" uon Ilusel( and bis private secretary.
Mr. Halford. Other guests were Col. K. I),
Woodruff of Auburn. N". Y, : Judge Martldale.
Harrr C. New, J. H, Halllday. Dr. C. L. Wilson,
Dr. W. P. Johnson, and Charles M. Walker.
The General will go directly back to bis
Georgia home, but bis friends, the Messrx.
Angler, will remain to attend Mm Harrison's
reception to-morrow evening, and will then
start for New ifoik.
'The best known caller nnon Gen. Harrison
to-day was Gen. J. A. Williamson of Iowu.
formerly Land Commissioner, and at present
largely interested In Southwestern railroads.
Like all the rest, thero was no iwlitlon In bis
visit. He was simply passing through Indian
apolis on his way Last on business, and didn't
think It would be right not to stop and pay his
respects to the President elect.
"Do Senator AIINon't, friends In Iowa think
he will be In tbe Cabinet?" bu was asked,
"Well." be renllMl. " town nennle think Al
lison la a big enough man as to brains to got
whatever be wants. But whether hewuiitato
t:o Into the Cabinet or not I don't know. lam
nrllnril to think that be does not: but he and
Harrison are very much ullke in tholr tnstrm
and opinions, and the close niSclal relationship
of the Cabinet would doubtless bo very pleas
nnt to Ibom. Unless Allison is tired of tho
Sennte and wants to round out hi career by it
term In the Cabinet, I don't see why be should
accept even the Secretaryship of tbe Treasury.
"Iowa has fared very well in rognrd to Cab
inet plnces. Grant offered tbe portfolio of the
State Department to .T. F. Wilson, and Allison
could buve lofn In Garflold's Cabinet, but be
declined, and secured tbe appointment of Kirk
wood. wbo. by acceptlnca place in tho Cabinet,
lost his bold upon politics and dropped out of
liow about Carkson In case Allison de
clines?" " I ehould think tbat If Allison does not want
It 'himself, and hns a chance to nnme a u.an
from Iowa Instead of himself, that Clarkeon
would probably be the man be would nnmo."
Gen. Harrison will go bunting to-morrow,
acoompanled by Walter Bradshnw and II. B. P.
Pierce of this city, and probably by Son-in-law
Mch'oo. Ho will go on tbe ralli o.vd a few miles
out into tho country, and will spend the
day in shooting iuall and prairie chick
ens. He will slay over night In tbe
country, and may even prolong his
trip through the next dr. The exact placo to
which ho will go is not vet publicly known, und
information as to It Is rofused. on tbe ground
tbat If the neighborhood to which he is going
loarns of his visit, tbe peorjlo will Hock to seu
blm and prevent blm from having the rest und
sport that be Hecks. His eon says:
"Father doesn't want to make any mystery
about It, and everybody will be tuld where be
has con alter he has started, ami can go after
blm If tbey want, but be Is very anxious to get
n complete reat from politics nnd bnelnecs, nnd
be can't bate ft If tbe people of tbe country
about know be Is among them."
Suffering from morwurb may bo the renton,
as stated. Hint the General tskvn shooting
trlrmt at this time, but It Isaslk'nltlcnntfaet
thnt Mrs. Harrison began house ole.-intng this
morning, and that the General's Intention of
clearing out for a day nr two was not an
nounced until after she bad been at work for a
Iew hours. Mrs. Harrison, they say, is a regu

report of tho Sub-Coiumlttco of Eleven was
rend. It said that except In the Eixhiri district
the pledges of tbo lender bad bo en l.cpt iu tbo
main.
"The treachery In tbe Eighth AvseraMy dis
trict was so flagrant that wo consider It im
mediate consideration by th County Commit
tee to be Imperative, and shall theictoie con
fine tbls renort to tbnt district.
"Early In the campaign most unsatisfactory
report! were received an to the condition ot
affairs In this district. It was evident tbat the
national ticket only would be heartily support
ed by tbe leaders, but when their attention was
called to tboho reports they rieniod them in tho
mo t emplintlc mnunor In fact, expressed
indignation at tholr loyalty being nuontionsd.
" Mr. O'Brien, in a conversation with tbe
Chairman of the County Committee, assured
mm tuiii me cigutii uistnct organization
would loyally snpport tho eutlro ticket; that
those who oxpresed want of confidence In bis
district oi ganlzat Ion had better attend to tbelr
own dlstiUts; that tbe result would sliowhts
assurances to be well founded, Mr. Brodsky,
Chairman ot the district organization, stated
tbat some captains wbo hud been openly op
posing the State ticket should be removed, and
tbutwocccd buve no fear of our cnnaldotos
being sold out.
" The result shows that the national tjokat
only wax strongly supported, the Mute lickot
fairly well, and that It was woll-nlph Impossi
ble to obtnln Bepubllcan oouutv niut Csngress
ballots fiom tho iletaiblicau booths. County
tickets with Hugh J. Grant for Mayor wore
openlv given out, nnd with such success that
Joel it. Erhardt received only 1.700 votes in the
Eighth district. Tun candidate for Congress
Ran treated in tb same manner.
"Never, wo believe, in ths history of polltlas

ot all the ltepuhllcnn candidates, and then
supporting tho opponent!, ot many of them, the
leaden acted dishonestly. We ore Informed,
through sources which nedsem pntlrely trust
worthy, that tbe leaders of tho Eighth district
received from the candidate of tbe County De
mocracy forCongiess tho sum ot JS.loo, and
from tho candidate of Tammany Hall forCon-
f tress li,U5U. In view ut the fact that these
eaderi received nearly $1,7iki on behalf of the
Republican candidate for Congress, promising
him loyal support, the act of treaeherr in re
ceiving money fotm Democratic candidates for
the same office eeems as near an approach to
highway robhory ub can well bo conceited.
Tbls action atone is enough to show tho unlit

lie denied that he or anybody bad taken
monoy from Tim Campbell, nnd no wont over
the figures, showing the majority gleu for
Harrison and Morton In the district, and con
trasted it with tho poor showing of other Ke
publlcau districts. He declared that It wax
absolutely necessary to lot tbo county ticket
get along tho best It could In the district on
election day.fnr tbe simple nnd po'Ilim rtanon
that Tammany had nny whore from t.1i to J50D
an election district. When U'Urlou learned
that, Brodsky said. It was decided to let the
county ticket slide and go in neck and crop for
the national tlokot.
Barney Blglln sided with Brodsky, ami pro
tested that declsho action should not be taken
until more conelmlw evidence of treachery
was prdouced. Mr. Blzlln didn't believe in
wholesale charges of treachory without tolld
facts, and be didiit think the comnilttoo bad
proofs.
Justice Smith spoke in roprormtlon of tbe
wlckod Eighth, and nil the loinmltteemen, ex
cept Brodsky and Blglln. voted to sustain tho
report of tbe sub-committee. All siinied it h'lt
those two. It will be adopted at tbo County
Committee to-night, though Orator Krrtus for
John J. will be on hand to firs off his oloquonc"
against It. Tb new County Committee elected
next month will reorganize tbo district. That

"Been Belling clothing- right here In

never saw such a business opportunity go by

' came back with tbe clothes pretty soon. Bald
the man bad gone Into Peyser's saloon, Mott
and Chatham streets. Said be thought the
man was only trying to win a bet. Man had
plenty of clothes of his own. and had no need
of ours. I believe that the man was crazy
myself. No sane man would have sent back
such clothing as that."
Mike Callaban. a successor of the Hon. Jere

"I saw tbe man coming out of Pell street.
He did not seem to mind it any more than
those savages I have seen in pictures capering
