Chicago, May 21, At a -meeting of
the "third ward land meeting" in this city
yesterday, several speakers denounced the
action of the Roman Pontiff, Patrick Mel
ody, appearing to voice the sentiment of
four hundred present, to judge by the ap
plause. When the pope became a politi
cian lie shoukl be treated as such. Pat
rick Egan, ex treasurer of the Irish Land
League in touching up on the warning to
Irish clergy from the Vatican, said: lean
only look upon it in the light of an insult
to t he coirmon course of Irish people, and
so it will be regarded in Ireland. The
speaker declared that a few years ago.
when the papists were considered in dan
ger, thousands ot Ireland s sons were
ready to shed their blood in their defense
among those enrolled for emigration to It
aly, when news of the defeat at Spolata
was brought to countermand, Mr. Walsh
iuoted the words of Arch Bishop, Mc-
Phail a few years ago, that if priests and
people became divided it . would not be
the fault of faithful pctvjd. Twenty yearsj
ago saiu the speaker, a circular nught

of Thos. Davis, union of orange and green

CmoAoo, May 21. Afctorm of extra
ordinary violence prevailed on Lake Mich
vessels bound to this port were wrecked.
but the extent of the disasters are only yet
partially kn'own. The chief disaster thus
far reported is that of a two masted
schooner, Jennie Lynn, lumber laden from
Muskegon, which made aliarbor south of
the city during the night, casting two an
chors. Everything was made clean above
the decks, but the wind coming from the
north-east, drove her toward shore, her
cables parted, and becoming unman age
able ws capsized while near shore, about
5 o'clock this morning. Mate Sample
swam for shore and was rescued; John
Anderson, Capt. L. Petersen A. Helgeson,
and a man named Christionson, sailors,
were drowned. The schooner Mary Ellen
Cook, with Capt. Williams, early this
morning bore down on the outer govern

Early this morning the hreak water
light having either been extinguished by
the storm, or through inability of the
light house keeper to light it, being
piaced in an exceptionally exposed place
a vessel was driven aerainst break water
and afterwards carried by the waves
completely over the obstruction in to
harbor, where she was soon water-logged.
A tug succeeded in rescuing the
crew, excepting a young boy named
Frank Miller, who in the excitement
threw himself overboard and was drown
ed. The schooner. Henry Berger, lum
ber laden from Ludington, also was
driven agaipst break water and wrecked,
but the crew were saved.

Pond, 23 miles from here on the line of
Montpelicr & Wells River R. R. last Sat
urday afternoon, there was the most
destructive forest fire ever known in

cords of wood, of the Montpelier &
Wells River railroad, "t Grafton Pond,

sisting of a large steam mill with sev
eral thousand dollars worth of machin

barrels, 58 ox sleds, three car loads of

nearly all the personal property of the

and on crafts. The mill property was
owned by Alvah I. Baldwin, of
Wells River, Baldwin's loss
is estimated at over $100,000, small insur
ance. Families are . rendered destitute;
some fifteen men, women and children
came here, late Saturday night. After
burning the mill property the lire passed
along the line of the railroad some three
miles to Peabody station, burning the
depot and ail buildings there. The
entire territory jd both sides of
the track for, about six rmk-s
Is a perfect waste. Timber, build
ings and everything burned and the
track destroyed, so that trains were de
layed twelve hours. The track has been

loss to the railroad is estimated at over
$25,000. A gang of n.en sawing wood for

Lonuon, May 21, The fund for Par
nell, now amounts to 9,000 pounds. It
has been decided to keep the subscription
list open until 50,000 pounds is raised.
Several meetings were held in London,
yesterday, at which appeals for subscrip
tions to the fund were made.
Last month the New York Academy of
Medicine adopted resolutions deprecating
the admission of any physicianwho would
not support the old code. It seems the
resolutions were put through by packing
the meeting, so to speak. No public not
ice of their presentation was given. It
Is contrary to the custom of the academy
to discuss such matters at all. On this par
ticular occasion, members known to be
friendly to the code were notified, and
willi the majority thus secured the meas
ures were adopted. Commenting on this
form of proceeding, the Medical Neiti of
this city says the profession in the Last la
fond of misrepresenting the doings of
Western colleagues as crude, and of insin
uating that the West lacks tone-. But it
thinks that "after this riot in thct meropo-
lis, we feel certain that it can no longer be
the high pnvelege of any member of the
academy, at least, to point the derisive
finger Westward. We might possiblv in
stitute comparisons between it and the
Chicago common council, bat the most
turbulent medical meeting ever held m
the West would seem like a Suuday-
school when compared with this session
of the academy." St Louia Republican.

Louis C. Be h man, of Brooklyn, in 187C

when it was Tsuggested that a little more

thrown out of the partnership. Hyde and
Behman continued the business, which
improved so well that the following sea

time of three years they bought tne build

how. Toyah. is about 200 miles east of
El Paso, on the TexasPacific, and is just
at the western limits of the plains. The
raiiroad company, in sinking an avtcsan
well there, for the purpose of getting
water for its engines, struck a vein of
mineral water, which is said to analyze
far above the Hot Springs water, having
0 per cent, moie mineral constituents
than the latter. Three wells have been
sunk, the deepest being 832 feet, and the
flow is abont 300 gallons per minute. Dr.
Robinson vouches for a number of cures
in patients he has sent there, which are sim
ply wonderful, and he says he propos sesto
live there the balance of his life. The
town is crowded with strangers, and the
situation, 3,700 feet above the sea level
makes the climate delightful. The result
of the negotiations for a new hotel struc
ture is not yet known.
