A London cable says : I'poD the re- •omptioa o{ the Beiaioo of the Parnell CommitiBioii yesterday morning;, presiding Justice ilftuiien said Mr. O'Biitiu'ii article in United Ireland, for wLiich be waa â- nmmoued tu itppear before tbf court, ex- ceeded a fair diBcumiion of the caae under inveutiKation, but b« admitted that there was BOiue force iu Mr. U'Urien'a arxuments re^ardiu|{ the coutiiiued ciroulatiou of the Tinu.i pamphlet, • and said bo believed no diaretii>ect wan intended to be shown towards the court by the article. There- fore bo would nut puuibh Mr. (J'liricn. He •dded, however, that lu future euets of a â- imilar nature wuuld be more ueverely treated Patrick Delaney, a convict in the Mary- boroii^^h prison, temitied thc.t he belonged to the FenittiiB uutil Beptember, lNy2.

It was arranged that arms be provided and thesipeuses paiJ. At ancither meeting held in Itie Hotiuuia, Measru. Uavitt, Pur- nell, Kuan, Uiggar, UiUon, Urennan and Harris attended. Curley, at thM meeting. Attacked Mr. Davitt for not aahuring to the princiiiles of the ori;ani/.«tiou. After tbe meeting the wiluend was told that the circles were not oppo.ied to the League, whii b would organize the l-'enians in the country and Eiippiv them with arnih. The witness said he had furgutien a por- tion of lliu InMiiciblea' oath, but the prin cipal was to assaHiiinatR the Viceroy ami the whole Executive of Ireland. The Invinci- bles received money from the League. Messrs. l^gan, Byrne and Tynan paid some to Daniel Delauey, Mullett and lirady. The witneHS was deputed to watch the movements of Mr. Forster, at that time Chief Becretary for Ireland. Joseph Brady and Timothy Kelly were to shoot Mr. Kor- â- ter, while witness wsh to intercept persons orOHsing the Vueeu street bridgcwhile Kelly and lirady endeavored to carry out their purpoiio. Witness took no part in thoPhu nix I'ark marders. Mrs. liyrne brought over the two knives that were used in committing those murders. At a meeting of a com- mittee of the Invincibles htid after the Phuioix Park murders, a ijuantity of gold •nd bank notes were laid upon the table. Afterwards more revolvers, daggers and money came. Delaney further spoke of an attempt to hire a house oj: Castle Hill, from which ofljcials of the castle could be shot with rides. Carey failed to get the house. In 1881, when Carey wai a candidate for the Dabhn Municipal Council, V.n»n promised that all his expenses would be paid. Kgan held that an Invincible ought to be Lord Ilayor. Delaney ilentihud letters HJgned by Lgan. When iju-'Sliontd in regard to Kgan'e letter, in which reference is made to a fund, Delaney said he knew nothing •bout a fund. On cross-examination by Kir Charles Kussell, the witness ailmitted that when 17 years old he was sentenced to penal hcrvi tode for five years for highway robbery. He enrolled himself with the I'euians the same night ho left prison. When he was accused otthc I'h'i nix I'ark mnrders he gave the aathoritics all the infurination in Ins poBsession. It was his wife who, while visiting him in prison, warned him that he was sus|>ecteil in coiinectiun with the Phnnix Park inurderH. He thereupon sup- plied a written statiinei.t to the prisuii ofhcials. When aaked how he came to give the I'lritrs evidence, he stated that Crown Hulicitor Hbannon came to the jail a forini^ht ago and took his â- worn stateiMi'iit. K>'curring to the reninn organi/.atioii, lie dulared that it was never an asuaxnUiHtion pociety tii:e|jt in cases where Homebody informed against them. The I''eniariH sunght to IlKht openly, and were very diffinnt from the Iiivim-.iblis. He knew lOgan, lironnan and liyriiu to he Fenians in lH7n. having met thtin at a secret iiioeting. He admitted that he never met them among the Inviiiribles, but knew they were leaders of tlin Invincibles through Carey and others. He never saw any one of them giving moiipy to anybody, bat had seen money nii a tnlile at whicii Byrne was sitting. 1 he witness stated that ho was sentenced to death for com- plicity in the rii<i<nix Park rnurderH, and Lord Kpenccr <«jmmuted bin sentence to life imimsonmcnt, which he is now under- going. • A London cable says: iho cross-ex- amination of Patrick Delaney was resumed | before the Parnell Coiiimission yesterday. The witness persisted in declaring that he â- aw Boyton point out to Invincible llrarly the Chairman of the Prison Board, Mr. Bourke, for abBat-Minalicjn. On cross- emnination by Mic^hael Davitt, Delaney aaid he was jiositivn that he had often seen Davitt in company with Dan Curley, although ho coubl not fix the dates. He. examined with relorimco to tho fundH of the Fenians, he stated that until 1H7'.I tho party was without niniiey other than thu isw ponce weekly subH :ril)ed by members. Boine pawned their watches to send dele- gates to America. Carey, after the In- vininbles were organized, obtained funds from the Leauiin and startel business SH a oontrai tor. 1<> ing shown the photograph of anian in uiiifnrni, witness declared that it was liivinciblii No. 1. At tho close of tho exiiinination Jnstico Hannen ordered llmt Delaney be held in custody in Ijonilon in case be Hhould he wanted again. Attorney Uoneral Webster then read oorrespondenra between Mut lioeaa is now trying hii hand. Be will aatiieve more Buocess upon yonr side than upon this. He is a cowardly, low rafhan, who has not the courage to resent an in- salt I offered him in ibe Herald. He has not suflicient courage to set tire to a British haystack. Do your utmost to keep the people within bounds." Justice Hannen asked if the letters of Mr. Parnell would be shown to the Par- uellite counsel, as the court seemed to be within a reasonable distance of getting at them. Attorney-Ceiieral Webster refused to be pinned to a deHuitetime for the production of the letters. Juatioe Hannen then expressed the opinion that both sides should show the letters in their poeseesiou intended to be used for comparison. A London cable says : The taking of evidence was further resnmtd at the Parnell Commission yesterday. Capt. I'lunkett, chief of the Cork police, testified as to the perpetration of outrages. He said he knew of no support given to tenants in their nonpayment of rent and resistance to eviction except that given by the Lund and National Leagues. Matters had improved since the passage of the Coer- cion Act. Keferring to the further disoloeure of documents, Mr. Asquitb, counsel for Mr. Parnell, said that alter a consultation with Sir Charles Kussell it had been decided not to press the inepection of the alleged /uir- iimile letters of .Ur. Parnell. Capt. J'lunkett, on cross-examination, created a sensation by stating that he had heard Father <J'Connor, the parish priest of Firies, denounce at a cattle sale a farmer naiiud Cartin, and that a week later the f.irraer was murdered. P'ather O'Connor did not name Curtin. but be alluded to him iu such a way that there could be no mistake as to whom he meant. Replying to Mr. Davitt, the witness ad- mitted that he met secretly in Cork in lHH:i the Irish American McDermott. He declined to say whether or not be knew McDermott as a paid agent of the police. French, the head of the detective force, also met McDermott. The witness did not know that French had paid McDermott money to concoct dynamite plots. Mr. Parnell is at present confined to the house with an attack of rheumatism iu the shoulder. While his illuesa i painful it is nothing serious, and expected to be about in a few days. I very he is UAMIII.Kn AN'U I.U!)T. A Yuuui; Mau and a Vounir Womau Kulclde at Munt« Carlti. A London cable says : The young man and woman who committed suicide at Monte Carlo }estcrday were respectively 2'.> and I'.t years of ago. They were natives of Lyons and had spent the winter together at Monte Carlo. Neither was known, nor has their identity as yet been established, but they brought with them large sums of raonny and spent most of tbtir time at the gaming tables, roulette being their favorite game. When they had reached the bottom of their combined purse they wrote to friends in Nice announcing the fact, and asserting that they contemplated suicide. Upon receipt of a letter from one of them, a friend hurried to Monte Carlo, but was refused admission to their room, an oftioer of the police giving as reason for refusal the inlurmation that tho couple were dead. Other information concerning the couple was re<|uested, but that was also rtfiiieil, and, in the interest of the previkiling " in dustry " at Monte Carlo, tho proprietors and attaches of the hotel made every effort to suppress publicity of the tragedy. A MAN OF MAMT WIVES. Five Times a BliamUt ? -Prencntt Police Take Thiilr Frlsciuer Kant Kruiu Whitby, A Whitby despatch says : Constable Critee, of Prescolt, with an assistant arrived here this morning and has returned with the prisoner Silas £. Seymour, alias W. J. Shaver, alias Martin, arrested here last evening on charges of horse stealing and bigamy telegraphed from the town down the St. Lawrence. The innocent young girl, apparently not more than 17, who came here with Seymour, stated that she met him only two weeks ago Batarday, and that they were married the following i hursday. Her maiden name was Fish and her home in Gananoque. For a wed- ding trip they went ta I oronto, where he got a livery and drove to Whitby. In sell- ing the horse and buggy to raise money enough for fares to Buffalo from here, hu got into trouble. No one has }ct claimed tho property at Sebert's. Seymour, it was stated by the Prescott policeman, had only a few months ago been released from the Kingston Penitentiary, six months before his time was up, because of exemplary behavior, after serving a term there for bigamy. This is bis sixth ven- ture on the sea of matrimony. Daring the preliminary bearing before Police Magis- trate Harper the simple girl, who has bo sadly erred in haatily marrying the scoan- drel, with wondering innocence listened te the discussion by the court otlicials of how she was to be taken care of, when finally the kind-hearted magistrate settled the matter by lending Policeman Crites $10 with which to pay her fare home, and she went without a word, it is hoped a wiser woman. One of Seymour's victims is now respectably married and living at Belle- ville. At the time that Shaver figured before the public there he was engaged in keeping a small store at Omemee, the buai- ness having been started with his then wife's money. He went to Belleville on businees one day, and hunting up a girl that he had formerly oourted, was quietly married by liev. J. B. Clarkson, now iu Cobonrg. Chief McKinnun learned of the marriage, and knowing of Shaver's charac- ter followed him to Trenton. He had stopped with his bride to call on a friend on the way, when the Chief found them and brought the girl back to her friends, and the bigamist was sent to Kingston for three years. » Tltr, TKY AGAIN. A Peralat«ut Luver Hucceuful at La«t. A Belleville despatch says : There was a quiet marriage at St. John s Church this morning, and the ttory as told by an intimate aci|aaintance of both parties sonndB very romantic.

Read Ula Own Name on a Tombstaneâ€" A Wanderer for TweDty Yeara. An Oxford, Me., despatch says : An old man with gray hair and beard, bowed down with years and feeble, was seen on the day before Christmas groping bis way slowly, like one partially blind, among the graves in the old churchyard. In spite of his years his frame showed great strength and power of endurance. His name was Ezekiel Fogg, and ae he stooped before an old stone, crumbling with the frost of many winters, he had the unusual experience of witneea- ing his own name engraved thereon. Ihe fact was that, although alive and atill vigorous, he had been for years dead to his family and friends, and they bad marked his death by a snitable mound and bead- stone. The old man has had a romantic life since Uet he saw his friends. He started for the west over twenty years ago and settled in Plattsborg, N.Y-, for a abort time, only to continue on in bis travels until he reached a town in Nebraska, where be worked in a stone quarry. There bia wife and eon Frank, a child in arms, joined him later, but after a year or two they came back to Maine, the fatber agreeing to follow in a few days. I'ogg did not return and no word was heard from him except an un- denied story that he had been murdered for his money. It was reported that three strangers hired him to guide thetn through the woods to a distant town. Then the names of A. S. Fuller, a Mr. Btetson and two others were coupled with a story of murder in which the strangers had been hired to put him out of the way. Fogg travelled about in various parts of the west, arriving at one ti'"" in Arkansas and living later as a hunter -< d trapper in the mountains of the far west. One day he found a Maine paper and he read of the death of a man bearing Ihe name of his only son. This revived his memories and he decided to return home, hoping that he might find some trace of bis family, and also that be could be benefited bv the treatment of a skilful oculist. THEY LYNCHED THE 01.D MAN. Hla Four Daughter! Klope, and He KlUea Two of Their Lovera and Fatally Wounded One of the Glrlti. A St. Louis despatch says: The little town cf Bolar, in Mercer County, Mo., turns out the following tragic story: Henry Thomas, an old farmer, had four grown daughters named Hattie, Margaret, Nancy and Jaue, aged llj. IS, 20 and 22 years re- spectively. Last Wednesday night Samuel and Charles Hasburn, brothers, procured a ladder and helped Margaret and Jane out of a second-story window of their father's house, and as they were about to elope with the girlH the old man appeared on the scene, but to] late to prevent their escape. He at once procured the best horse be had and a shotgun, and started in hot pursuit. When about t*elve miles from home he overtook the deting party. He immediately opened fire on them, killing both the boys and serioubly wounding Margaret. After get- ting nearly home with the girls he was told that the other two, Hattie and Nancy, had eloped with Ned Gleason and Thos- Allison. He at once left the girls he bad with him in charge of some uiigbbors and started after the others. After securing the other two girls without any serious trouble he started back, but when about two milea from home a mob tcok possession of him and strung him up to a tree. The old man was terribly strict with the girls. He would hardly let them ont of his sight, hence the elopements. He always bragged that he would not be bothered with lazy sons-in- law. Public feeling is strongly in favor of the lynching. Margaret died last night. A CAT IN THIS UKOAN. A New Kind of Church Music Caases a Senitatlon. A Syracuse (N. V.) despatch says: There has been a mystery about the large pipe organ at St. Paul's Cathedral for a week. Whenever H. R. Fuller, the organist, touched the keys, weird noises wore heard in the interior. ^ the. There was a large attendance at morning service yesterday- The Rev. Dr. Lockwood was in the middle of the bene- diction when a large, wild-looking mallese cat made a flying leap over the head of the organis* and landed near W. J.

For a time he was in the Imperial Bank at Toronto, but after a time diaap|>eared entirely, at least so far as his Belleville friends were con- cerned. In tho meantime the lady of his choice was wooed and won by the late Charlaa W. Hell. They had been married but a few years when Mr. Bell died, leaving a >oung widow and an infant Bon. Shortly after the old lover returned and renewed his euit, hut with no better success than had attende<l him at first. He has been absent for some four yearn, but returned yesterday.

Lord Dufferiu's eldest sou has been slaughtering tigers at a great pace in India â€" ail on one expedition. It is announced that Mrs. Humphrey Ward has been writing an " .Vnswer " tj the various criticisms ou •â-  Rjbert Els- mere." The British Attorney General makes, it is said, i:-10,000 a year at the bar. Sir Horace Davey's annual income â€" which is not, like that of Sir R. Webater, supple- mented by a handsome oflicial salarvâ€" is put at i'25,000. A laboring man named Robert Wood- cook, aged 08 years, died a few davs ago at Whitingtou, Norfolk. On his deathbed he gave his eldest sou a key of a box, telling him that he would find there whiit ho re- i|uired. The box. on b^-ing opened, was found to contain 1 UOO tovereigns. The gold and silver plate which belongs to the Duke of Cumberland weighs some twelve tons, and the jewels are valued at tiOO.OOO. The Duke's hereditary casket includes the famous pearls of Queen Char- lotte (worth t'UO. COO), which caused nearly twenty years' liti»;»tion betwetu the Queen and ttc King of Hanover. To Chui>H« MU 4>r.«i]ge. The very sweetest orange and richest is tho olack or rusty coaled fiuit. Pick out the dingiest oranges in the box and you will get the beat. Another way to chciwe oranges is by weight. Theheavieat are tho best, because they h»ve the thinnest skin and more weight of juice. Thick skin oranges are apt to be dry ; they either wei({h less because of having eo much skin, or because of the poverty of the juice in these particular specimens. A slight freez- ing on tho tree causes this condition in otherwise fine fruit. Tho "kid-glove" oranges are Ihe two varieties of small fruit grown in Florida from stocks respectively brought from China and from Tangiers". They are called "Mandarin" and "Tan- gerine." They may be eaten without soil- ing a kid glove, because the skin is loose aud the little "gores" or pockets of juice come apart very cleanly and without break- ing. All Ihe above applies to Florida oranges. 1 bo Jamaica aud Havana oranges are much paler yellow, and their juice is usually of more acid ijuality.
