Toronto, March 10.—O’Donovan-Uoasa ar
rived hero yesterday forenoon. Having been
forewarned that Ills reception might be uncom
fortably warm if bo traveled as far as tiio regu
lar station here, ho Jumped oil tno train while
Id motion at the round-house, fell in tho mud,
and came within a foot of being run over. Ho
was only accompanied, apparently, by ono co
patriot, but there were a number of bard
looking characters scattered about tho
train, who were supposed to comprise
bis body-guard. Ho was spirited away in
scab, and thus escaped the Orange mob which
was awaiting his arrival at tbo Yongo Hired
Station. lie kept dark all dav. At 7 last
evening five companies of the Queen's Own and
four of the Tenth Royals were mustered quietly
to the drill-shed, a hundred yards from
ST. PATRICK'S HALL,
whore the lecture was to bo delivered. Ono
hundred police guarded the ball. A mob of
T.OOO blocked the corner of King and Jarvis
streets, and filled East Market Square. Rossa
got up-statrs and into the ball without being
recognized, and began to apcck ot 8 upon
“Ireland, Her Trials and .Triumphs." There
were but about 150 persons present,
mostly Young Irishmen and Hibernians. Tho
moment the gas was turned on in the boll tbo
mob outside opened Arts with stones, and a
perfect shower was rained on the windows until
the lecture dosed. At 0:80

was left. Rossa stopped several times, and one
of tho audience proposed that they should
charge down stairs and out. This was overruled,
however, and the audience waited In darkness
for tbo mob to disperse. At 10:15 Rossa stole
quietly out on to King slftct, and passed unob
served Into the crowd, and tbo audience got
out in twos and threes after him.
nOSSA'S LBCTUKR
was extremely moderate la tone, and contained
little that was. more bloodthirsty tlian a wish
tint Orangemen and Catholics would shako
Inode over the Battle of Uio Boyne for the
unity of old Ireland. Bo Bare a description of
Ms prison experience, defended himself against
certain sentiments being attributed to him. and
said he would utter nothing more sweeping
anlnst England than had been fulminated
by Lord DufTcrln, whoso impeachment of
English law bo proceeded to read.
TOM ADDRESS TUDODOQOUT WAS TAMB,
and contained less treasonable sentiments than
the speeches of local orators on a at. Patrick’s
Dsy celebration. Rossa appeared to ho ner
tous, and, at the Urst Indication of a disturb*
tnce outside, ho was noticed to falter In his re
marks. During tbo lecture a stray stone was
eccaslonoll/sent whirling through the windows
amongst the audience, and the lecturer was
ADVISBD TO “CUT IT SHOUT,”
which be did. Rossa elbowed bis way tfaroagb
the crowd to- Church street unrecognized. A
cab was here In walling, into which bo and a
companion sprang, hut, lust as the driver was
about taking bU seat, a man ran up, and, recog
nizing Kossa, seized the cab door, exclaiming:
“llBUi’S TUB D—D FBNIANi”
Rossa drew bis revolver, at tbo some time
hitting the man a back-banded blow, which
canoed him to release hla hold and topple Into
the mud. The crowd loitered aronnd the mar
ket square until midnight, and, when they
found that Rossa bad really escaped, they hoot;
ed and yelled la terrible rage, and, instead of
prosecuting their search after the Fenian leader,
they charged In a most cowardly manner on tbo
police, not as men, but as fiends, never ap
proaching near enough to cornu within the
reach of the baton, but arming themselves with
bricks sod stones, and then, as opportunity oc
curred, hurling them In an Indiscriminate mau
ler.

while every few minutes a policeman would re

the vast mob and drove them on ahead. Upon
teaching the corner of Adelaida and Jarvis

throats, and tbe Insane cry was token up and
tv pealed at every corner. Hearing the cry the
Police made a desperate rally, and attempted (o

TUB CASUALTIES AT COSOROVB’S.
Charles March was shot through the nose.
Dennis Corfcw received a bullet In his leg,
while broken heads appeared la every direction.
A young man named william Clegg, aged 23,
was shot. The hall lodged just below Ins right
shoulder. He was carried into a house and Drs
Pollard and two othfir physicians spent an bout'
In probing for tho boll, but they did not find It.
The Doctors said tho revolver roust have been
very close to the voung man when fired. Ho
was afterwards taken home, and la now doing
as well as could bo expected. Dr. Pollard, who
visited him this morning, says tho ballet, which
Is supposed to bo very small, Is' embedded

this is a dangerous ptaco for cutting, he advises
that the ball bo left there. The m'ub next con

prompt action of tho police prevented any dam

4 o’clock this morning. The volunteers had
been disbanded early In tbe uight, and mingled
with the crowd. Tho entire police force was
finally got together, and gradually the horde of
rowdies wore dispersed. It Is Impossible to say
how mony were wounded, but the number Is un
doubtedly very largo, probably ICO. Nearly
every policeman on tho force la more or less in
jured. Some rioting took place to-dav In the
neighborhood of Cosgrove’s Tavern, but was
speedily squelched by tlie police.

was secretly convoyed out of the city during tbe
night to Mlmlco Station, on tho Great Western
Railway, where ho took a train to-day for Sus
pension Bridge, arriving there this afternoon.
Tho action of some oftne Catholic societies In
bringing Rossa here may have been In bad
taste, but the cowardly assault made by the
mob on the police waa utterly inexcusable, and
Is strongly condemned. During the riot a num
ber of stores were broken Into and sacked. The
amount of property destroyed by the mob will
foot up a largo bill for tho corporation to pay.
To-nlgntcrowds are gathcrlngoa Queen street
and around tbe house where Rossa Is supposed
to have been a guest while hero, and a renewal
of last night’s rioting is imminent.
BBTIIOSI’ECTIVB.
Toronto, March 19.— O’Donovan Rossa’s
lecture last night, as a lecture, was a complete
(allure. Ho was nervous to a painful degree,
and several times appeared as If he would break
down entirely. He seemed unable to recover
from tbe alarm which possessed jiliß on enter
ing the city. After the lecture It is reported
Rossa was driven out to Weston, seven miles
away from the city.
The excitement being ovor, people to-day are
counting tbe cost. Nine men have been re
ported to the Young Irishmen’s Society as shut,
one seriously. How many of tho opposing
force were hurt Is not known, but none are be
lieved to be dangerously wounded, most of the
injuries consisting of broken heads and bruises.
Fire constables are hurt, one seriously.

fighting took place to-nfght in different parts of
tho city between tho Young Britons ana mem
bers of Catholic societies, but a general riot was
firevented. Special policemen have been sworn
n to supply the places of the disabled members
of the force. The fighting was chiefly confined
to St. Patrick’s and St. John’s Wards. The
Young irishmen attacked Johnson’s Tavern,
whore a number of Young Britons wore holding
a meeting. Tho latter body were reinforced,
and s general moire began. Happily a strong
detachment of pollco appeared on the scene,
and, by using bstons right and left, separated
the combatants. A row took placo on Centre

James, directing him to assign part of the room
occupied by Commissioner Davenport and part
of those used by tbo United States District-At

This order was communicated to Daven

refused to vacate. All bU books
and records are under lock and key. aud be re

iflll contest tbo occupation of the rooms on the
ground that tbo Collector has no right to a

which i tbo property was deeded from

Waukegan, 111., March 19.—' The trial of
Peter Davison for the murder of John
Robertson at Lake Zorich in September last
began this morning la Phoenix Hall before Judge
11. H. Oody. The room was Well filled when
the case was called at 9 o’clock. The Hon.
Charles H. Heed, State's-Attorney Whitney,
and Mr. R. 8. Williamson prosecuted, and Mr.
W. 8. Searles defended. The defendant was
accompanied in court by bis wife and son. Few
ot the Robertson family were present to court,
but tbe Davison witnesses mustered strong.
Considering that tbe room In which court Is
held was not designed for each a purpose.
Sheriff Swaoborougb Is entitled to credit for
the manner In which bo bos' arranged for tho
accommodation of counsel, wltuesscs, and rep
resentatives of tho press.
Tho Clerk called four names from tho regu
lar panel, and John Llewln, Izart (Egbert,
Charles Grainger, and Laxclle Manzur answered,
Mr. Reed examined tho Juror* briefly oa to
whether they had formed or expressed any
opinion. All four replied they bad not done so,
further than that they hod read the newsimper
accounts of tbe homicide, and, like reasonable
beings, bad accepted those statements as prac
tically correct. Mr, Reed took the four.
Mr. Searles then had his Innings. His ques
tions were devoted to bringing out the point
whether tho jurors bad or had not discussed the
matter with any one, or bad formed any opinion
ot tho merits of the case. Finally be chat
lenrcd Egbert, Grainger, and Manzur (orcausc.
Mr. Heed contended that the Jurors were com
petent, and quoted Supreme Court decisions in
support of his cose, lie disclaimed coy wish to
obtain aprcjudlced jury, and said all no or tho
family ox the deceased wanted was to get twelve
men ot honesty, Intelligence, and character to
try the cose.
The Court sold that bo had assumed this to be
tho case, and did not expect to bo disappointed.
Mr. Searles made a declaration similar to that
of Mr. Reed,' and proceeded to inquire of tho
.jurors whether their opinions, based on the
newspaper accounts, were fixed or not.
The Court thought the three jurors should bo
excused, and believed that no juror ought to bo
allowed to sit on this caso who sold that ho bad
formed a fixed opinion, provided the newrwper
accounts were true. All these gentlemen had
read tbe accounts of the investigation before
tho committing magistrate, and on tho facts
then brought out had formed an opinion. The
jurors would stand down.
This left Mr. Llewln accented by both sides,
and Parker Andrews. P. Moulton, and John
Kcnelgo were called aud examined by Mr.
Searles. It appeared that Andrew* bad been
guilty of reading on account of tbe cose la the
Waukegan OateUe, and had formed an opinion
which It would require testimony to remove.
Mr. Kenelge bad heard several persons speak of
the case, and had listened to his son’s reading
of the newspaper ocrounts. But bo thought he
bad no convictions one way or tho other. Mr.
Moulton had lived In tho Town of Cuba, near
tho scene of tbe tragedy, for twenty-two years,
and know both: Davison and Robertson. An
drews was challenged for cause, aud Samuel
Kltngman came forward for examination. He
bad discussed the case with parties who got
their Information at second-hand, and bad read
considerably about tbe case, and had formed au
opinion—founded his conclusions not on the
newspaper accounts, buton tho facts as detailed
to him by neighbors. Testimony would bo
needed to overcome this opinion. He know
Robertson, and had acted with him on the Board
of Supervisors.
Mr. Searles consulted for several minutes,
and then announced that he would toko tho
three—Keneiec, Moulton, and Kllngman.
Mr. Kced elicited from the latter that he
knew Robertson, and had talked the caso over
with the Messrs. Grldley. [These gentlemen
are connections by marriage ot Davison, and
are asserted to have taken an active part In
talking up tho caso In his Interest.] Moulton
owned that be bad Dad a conversation with a
Mr. Bute [an attorney at Barrington supposed
to bo acting In Davison's interest], and that bo
had a prejudice In favor of one side. Mr. Heed
challenged him for cause, and the Court sus
tained the challenge.
Qaltlo Farlmon did not know Davison; but
was acquainted with Robertson; never did
any business with thu latter: bad read The
Chicago Tridumb and tho Waukegan papers.
A farmer named Thayer, who knew that the
speaker bod been summoned as a Juror, at
tempted to tell him about the ease, but ho
(Farlmon) refused to listen to him. Thayer pro
fessed to have beard ot tho case from Purnell
Munson, of Chicago. Ho did not think that be
bad any opinion which would prevent him Judg
ing the case according to the law and the evi
dence.
Tbo remainder of tbo regular panel was gone
through, but no Jurors secured.
Mr. Reed suggested that a special venire for
fifty or seventy-live persons should bo issued,
returnable to-morrow morning. It might be
well to Issifo two venires, so that the Sheri IT
could take one and the Deputy Sheriff another.
It was no use taking men from Waukegan or Its
neighborhood, and us the roads were very bad
It would be Impossible to got them iu before
morning. He, therefore, proposed an adjourn
ment until &a. m. to-morrow.
A discussion followed as to whether the three
Jurors, Llewin, Keuelge. and Farbuou, should
be sworn In at once or allowed to go an thvlr
f romlsu to abstain from conversation In regard
o tbo case. Mr. dearies objected at tint, but
finally consented to allow of a separation. The
Court thou admonished tbo Jurors not to talk
with any one or road anything about the case,
and promised to make an example of anybody
who might try It on. A special venire of sov
entv-five persons was ordered, and an adjourn
ment token until 0 a. m.

LOOKING FOR HIS WIFE.
gpscial Dispatch to J%o Tributu.
Cutblamd, 0., March 19.—A Chicago man
lain the city In search of bU wife, who left
home several weeks ago, and for some time waa
not beard frqm. lie at tint feared that abe
might have committed suicide, as she waa
quite despondent at times, aod bad incidentally
threatened to put an end to her existence. Tbe
Sentlcoan, being of respectable connections,
oes not desire that hla name shall get Into the
papers. *
The circumstance* of the case are aa follows:
On the morning of the lady’s disappearance
there nail been a minor unpleasantness, and,
when the husband returned from his office at
noon, she had left. All Inquiries failed to re
veal anything further. Information was given
to the polk-c, but they could nut track her. Hhe
had taken with her simply a small traveling
trunk and gone.
Weeks passed, and at length a note came,
postmarked at Toledo, saving that she had got
out of funds, but he would never see her, and
ho need not attempt to follow her. She Knew
how to keep out of his way, and should as
suredly do so. etc. This was adew. She had
distant relatives In Toledo, and her husband
did not doubt but she had been to visit them.
He Immediately followed on to that city, and
made Inquiries of the friends referred to. She
hail been there, made a long visit, And professed
to be ready to return. She said she had no
money to return with, and bad borrowed some.
This was all they knew.
White he was debating what should be done
next, a letter came on from Chicago, which had
been reraallrd there according to his directions
upon leaving home. 'This letter was postmarked
at Cleveland, and read-9
Hvsiuku: lam now at No. 220 fit Clair street.
In this city, bat yoo can’t find me If you try. I

Upon recking this tantalizing letter, the
perplexed hatband came on to this cltr, to find
that there Is no such number on*St. Clair
street as the one designated by the letter. But.
not desiring notoriety, and feeling that It would
bo of no especial use. lie has not called In the
assistance of tho police. He professes himself
entlrly at a loss to account for his wife’s strange
conduct, and says that she must be to a fit of

the search for her.
AMUSEMENTS.
the Tiiunsnv concert.
Tho concert by tbe Tbursby troupe at Mc-
Cormick’s Hall last evening waa nut very large
ly attended, probably on account of tbe over
shadowing attraction on Thursday evening at
the Wolfsohn testimonial, and ou Monday even
ing next, when Mr. Carpenter’s combination
will appear, In both of which Miss Tbursby will
sing. Tho scats unoccupied, therefore, did not
Indicate any neglect of Miss Tbursby, hut ou
the other hand reflected tho determination of
concert-goers to bear her under other auspices
where more was to be obtained for their money*
The concert, however, was a very pleasant one,
mainly upun account of Miss Thursby and Mas
ter Uchtcnbcrg. Mr. Corlcton sang very
well, and his naturally fine voice
tells with good effect upon tho con
cert stage, but his numbers were not particu
larly Interesting, especially his encores ("Nancy
Leo ” and “ Lively Polly with the exception
of Fauro’s “ Palm Branches,” In which, how
ever, he was not In tune. There was a good
deal of Pease on the programme. In tho wav of
his own composition and his piano numbers.
Wo most decidedly prefer bis composition to
hts playing. In thu former tiicre Is something
spontaneous, in the latter little that Is not arti
ficial and mechanical. Wo venture the predic
tion that Mr. Pease will yet find his real suc
cess in abandoning the piano In public, and de
voting himself to composition. Miss
Thursby was greeted with hearty
and honest enthusiasm, and sang
delightfully. Her numbers were the aria from
“LcPro aux Clcrca,’’ with violin obligato by
Master Llchtenbcrg, which is one of her stand
ard numbers, and a very neat and characteristic
“Cradle Bone” by Pease; and her encores,
"The Maid of Dundee” ami Taubcrt’s “Bird
Song.” Wo have so often expressed our
opinion of Miss Thursby’s singing that wo do
not need to repeat It now, especially as her
repertoire pffered us nothing new. The play
ing of Master Llchtenbcrg was a decided revela
tion, and produced not only a favorable but a
most enthusiastic Impression, He U but a lad
of 17, of slight physique, with a massive
bead and features of tho Rubinstein
mold, and yet draws a bow which
for breadth and strength would not do discredit
to any of the virtuosi who have appeared upon
pur concert stage. HU playing of tbe familiar

COUNTERFEITING.
A Gang Broken Up.
The Secret Service Detectives and Deputy United
Slates Marshals were busy lost night picking up
counterfeiters, aud bagged the principals of a gang
who have been operating in the Northwest for
stout a year. Their headquarters were in this
city. Ucro the spurious coin was made and de
livered to dealers, who took it into Wisconsin, In
diana, Michigan, lowa, and Minnesota to sopply
their customers. It cost about 10 cents on
the dollar to mako it, hot “commis
sions ” made the cost to the shaver
about SO cents. The gang dealt in nickels, quar
ters, and halves, and all their Issues were of a very
fair quality,—good enough to deceive all who are
not accustomed to handling much specie. Detect
ive Tyrrell struck their trail tost November, whim
a follow known as * * Bible Leo" was arrested In
MuscaUao, la., upoo suspicion of passing, lie
bad scut Leu to Joliet a your or so before (or deai

Klred Tyrrell learned that bo had goue
nek to bis old boslucss. On learning
of his arrest, Tyrrell Informed the city
Marshal, who bod Luo la custody, that bo
could furnish proof as to his character.
This, however, in the absence of positive proof of
guilt of the charge, was not snlUclenl to bold him,
so bo was released. Among the pspere found on
Lee was a letter which was of great value to one
familiar with (he ways of counterfeiters. It was
this letter which gave Tyrrell Ids clew to the gang,
and ho set to work to run them down. Ills assUt
ants received their instructions, and in about three
months hud all the members of the gang located,
and their hours and habits down to a dot. Then
began the undertaking of

once, and that had sharpened his wits. HvTss
shrewd fellow snd has traveled a good deal. Jits
msuncr of getting rid of bis bogus coin was to sell
lllbics and sivo bad money In change. No ons
would be apt to uuustlou It. since a colporteur Is
feueruily above suspicion, one of the others,
loafer, had been a policeman, being stationed at
the Armory, aud his knowledge made him very
cautious. However, after three moutbs mure of
hard work tho detectives got them “dead to
rights," os loor term it, and hut night a raid was
mudo on them.
The brat uuo picked up was
XU J. LBB.

was caught near the corner of Dearborn sod Mon*
roc streets, and taken at once to the United Statue
Marshal's office. On aearctung hint $25 or sao in
oogus nickels. quarters, and halves were found la
the pockets of bis clothing. Tyrrell, and Deputy
Marshal# Stillwell, Wheeler. and Ulluiau innnedt
ately went to Lco’e room (91), Nu, 71 llouroe

Then the oQlcere rode over to the budding on

Hoofer opened it. lie bad been in bed. The ob
ject of tbo visit waa made known, and Hoofer
offered no resistance, in bis pants pockets were
found $2 or $U In spurious nickels and quarters.
An examination of the room resulted in the finding
of a small grip-aack, in which were a dozen sets of
plaster-pans molds fur nickels, quarters, and
halves, lie, too, waa taken to the Government
building.
Neither of (ho prisoners recognised (bu other.
They were perfect strangers to all apuearauces.
Leo was very talkative, hut Hoofer didn't say a
word. \\ bile the former kept upan incessant gab*
blc about bis having been sent to Juliet, and about
Tyrrell, be never in any way committed himself,
skillfully avoiding the giving of auy evidence which
could bu used against him. He said when be gave

which statement msy have ocen fur the consola

Dipbtbcria eveu so wise a man as the Hart

modem name. As far back as 1737, Falmouth,
now Portland, suffered severely by ft, and It
wa§ spoken of as “ the moat fatal scourge that
ever visited New England, and rapidly hurried
Us subjects to the grave: the tbroat swelled, be

1,000 persons fell victims to Itln New Harnrv
shire. In the following August It reached
Exeter, and Boston In September. Four thou
sand took the disease in Boston,—one-quarter
of the population, as Boston then contained
but 16,000 Inhabitants. The mortality was small
here In comparison with other places, the deaths
numbering only 114. This was probably owing
to haring prompt and more effectual remedial
agents at command. In Haverhill, Mass., the

THE RAILROADS.
rnEionr mscniMiNAXioss.
The New York Daily DulUttn has the follow
liv.- •
One thing needs explanation In connection with
the discriminations made by the railroads in behalf
of the large shippers. Ordinarily the rates on
gram are made five to 10 cents per 100 pounds
tower to the privileged few than to the average
merchant, end in some instances the difference
risen to 16 cents. Now, it le Impossible to ac
count for any such degree of discrimination upon
ordlnsnr business principles. That Is to say, the
railroad can effect no special economies upon
Its contracts with the large shippers that com
pensate It for the reductions made to them.
It pays the railroad better, pro rata, to supply
600 cars at 20 to 25 cents per 100 pounds thin
to supply 5.000 cars at 15 cents; so that the dls
crimination in favor of the large shippers are made
at the expense of the railroads. The thing that
needs expltnatlon, therefore, le—why the man
agers of the roads make these discriminations to
the Injury of their companies?
This Is a question that railroad biaoacers must,
sooner or Inter, answer to their stockholders. Is
there bed management, or is there something less
excusable, at the bottom of this favoritism? To
charge the blame to bad management would Imply
a degree of Incapacity in the managers that
Is simply incredible. They matt and do know
that their business with the smaller shippers at
thu high rates pays better than their trans
actions with the favored few at ••cat” rales.
This being the case, It becomes the more Impera
tive that they should assign a reason for their vol
untary impairment of the earnings of their roads.
Until they do this, they can only rest under grave
suspicions. Such suspicions are already assuming
a verv definite shape among a class of persons well
situated to know the secrets of railroad manage
ment. We do nut suppose that those who enter
tain these surmises have anything like document
ary or other palpable evidence to support them;
for. If such evidence existed, It would not
be very, likely to reach daylight. Perhaps
the suspicion merely means that certain well
known facts cannot be accounted for upon
any otber hypothesis than the one supposed in this
case. However this may be, there Is no question
that, among those Intimately acquainted with
transportation Interests and moat capable of Judg
ing on these matters, there la a very general belief
that profit and loss alliances exist between some
railroad officials and large shippers In whose inter
ests their lines discriminate. These arrangements
ate not supposed to be confined to any particular
branch of business, nor yet to any single line of
road. The latest Information of tne kind that has
cotno under our notice it a reported
tripartite "pool” In cotton. The
parties to It are said to be a firm In the
Southwest, a representative of a Southwestern ays
tem of railroads, and a receiving firm in one of the
Atlantic ports. The plan of operations Is said to
be the purchase and sale of cotton on account of
the * 1 pool," the rates of nil transportation being
adjnitedto favor Its Interests. The railroad com
pany Is not paid until the remit of the operations
Is ascertained. If a loss Is made on the * * pool’s ”
transactions, it is deducted from tne railroad
charges; if a profit Is realized, each of the three
parties receives ono*tbird of It. and the railroad
simply gets the discriminating low rate granted to
the pool; in otber words, the railroad bean the
losses, bat receives none of the profits.
