Scotland Canada, and also of the | growing interest feltin it by the Irishmen of the larger cities of the United States. He also ex- plained the idea of the national roll, stating that books would be soon opened, in which the Bames of subscribers would be entered, and | Which would be placed in the bands of author- | ized persons to canvass the city. These books, | when filled, will be sent to Dublin and recopied | into the great national roll, which will hand down to posterity the names of all who sub- scribed in aid of their country’s cause. He believed, further, no Irishman residing at the federal capital who loves the old land will not willingly subscribe his dollar and his name as a national protest against the system of foreign leg:station that has left him without a home in the land of bis fathers. The chairman made a strong appeal in favor of the home rale pro- framme as laid down at the Dublin conference last November, and called on his countrymen in Washington to come forward and promot their means and influence, to a suc f the grand work already begua.

He says that he planned the murders with the ob- ject of plundering during the absence of Mr. and Mrs. Hamnet. The first victim was the adopted boy, fourteen years old; he next killed the younger girl, four | og old, and then her sister, eight years old. Mr. and Mrs. Hamnet returned late in the evening, when he killed both of them with an axe. The murderer then changed his clothing, and having secured all the money in the house, fifteen dollars, he sat fre to it and started for Pittsburg on foot. He says he was out of his mind when he committed the crimes. MURDER ON A STEAMBOAT.—A dispatch re- ceived in Milford, Del., on Saturday last, stated that Mr. John Straus, "9 iro.
