P. for the southern division of Galway anda defendant in the conspiracy case now in pro- gress before the magistrates’ court here, was today removed to Clonmel, Mr. Sheehy was closely guarded by a strong escort of Irish con- stabulary, the authorities being apprehensive of an attompt on the part of the exasperated nationalists of this city and vicinity to rescuo he prisoner. Extraordinary precautions have been taken by the jail officials at Clonmel to assure the safe keeping of their distinguished charge, who will be imprisoned for one week, in accordance with yesterday's decision of the bag aya magistrates, ir. Sheehy’s offense consisted in making re- marks in the conrt room which wore held by the bench to constitute contempt. DEAD OR ALIVE? Helen Settley’s Body Will Not Indicate Either Condition, New Horan, Ps., Oct. 22.—The body of Helen Settley still lies at her mother's house. The mother so far has refused to have it in- terred, as she still thinks her daughter is ina trance, The story of Helen's life is as follows: At an early age she was led astray and soon left her dull country home, and after a short carcer in Lancaster ‘she went to Readi di quently to Philadelphia, In Philadelphia she meta young man who prevailed upon her to go west with him and he deserted her at Mt. Vernon. Her career there is told in a dispatch received yesterday from the editor of the Mt. Vernon Banner, The dispatch says in July last the girl came there from Cleveland, The house in which she lived was raided last week and Helen was fined and warned that for the second offense she would receive a work-house sen- tence, It was the first time she had been ar- rested and, feeling deeply the degradation, she took poison. The coroner's verdict was suicide by arsenical poisoning. It was noticed that her features were slightly tinged with color, which the attending physician said was the re- sult of extravasated Liood, usually occurring in cases of sudden death. This probably explains the trance story. The physicians here are satisfied that the conclu- sions of the Mt. Vernon authorities are correct and no autopsy will be made, ——— THE WORLD’s FAIR SITE. A Large Area of Submerged Land to Bo Filled. Curcaao, Oct, 22.—At a meeting of the local board of directors of the world’s fair last night it was ordered that the work of filling and pil- ing the lake frontshould begin as soon as con- tracts can be let, About sixty acres of tho sub- merged lands will be used. The ways and means committee reported to the board that tho submerged lands on the lake front could be filled and piled for less than $700,000 and pledged itself to provide $800,000 for that pur- pose. The committee was authorized to let a contract for the filling, the work to be done by July next. ‘The enthusiastic pledge of the ways and means committee put the directors in a good hbmor, The $800,000 will be raised outside and independent of the $10,000,000, Tho capi- tal stock of the corporation will in npwise be impaired by the enterprise. Detuifé of the filling and piling, the space to be covered and its arrangement will be planned by the execu- tive committee at once. The directors indorsed the committee on world’s congresses, a body instituted in No- vember, 1889, during the preliminary or; ization of the world’s fair movement, and authorized it to assume the name of the “World’s Congress Auxiliary of the World's Columbian Exposition.” The committee was authorized, subject to the rules and limitations prescribed by the directors, to proceed with its work, add to its members and appoint sub- committees. The foreign exhibits committee, which meets in New York today, was author- ized to make such arrangements for soliciting exhibits from Mexico, Central and South America and the Wost Indies as in its judg- ment inight be deemed advisable. ‘Yhese in- structions were telegraphed to the committee last night, —— TO PULL TOGETHER An Immense Alliance of Labor Organi- zations Proposed.

The Condemned Murderer Makes Some Interesting Admissions. Toroxto, Oct; 22—The Globe today pub- lishes what it calls an installment of Birchall literature, prepared by himself, and says it has nothing to do with the autobiography which he is said to be intent upon, but was written by him for quite another purpose. The documents show that Birchall is endeav- oring to formulate a theory that would be con- sistent with his innocence of the charge of murder, But in doing this he had to admit ce he had meant to have swindled Col. Ben- well, He also found it necessary to invent the fiction that young Benwell was in the plot, Nevertheless, his version of what took place, especially on the day of the murder. is incredible, Benwell, he seys, went with him to Eastwood that day. It was arranged between them that Bonwoll should go from there to see certain persons at and near Woodstock, to whom Birchall had given him letters of introduction, Benwell was to make them be- lieve that he wanted to buy a farm, This done the two wers to return to Eastwood and then tothe falls, and Benwell was to write a cablo to_ his fath: thing was straight, When the money—t £500—arrived they were to divide it. Meanwhile Pelley was to be victimized br being thrust into the first job that offored, ‘This was all ho was to get for the £160 he had paid to Birchall, but Benwell never came back trom Woodstock. Birchall waited for him at & trysting place outside the town, and finally concluded that he had not met with a friendly reception at the hands of persons to whom he had been sent and thathe had gone on to others, Accordi: Birchall took the afternoon train for ilton, think- ing that Benwell might overtake him there on another train, The train didn’t come and so Birchall went on to the falls and waited there and then proceeded to Buffalo, He admits that in going from the outskirts of Woodstock to the railroad he did his nest to pass unobserved, explaining this condyet in a somewhat unsatisfactory way.

A Startling Scene in a Pennsylvania Court of Justice. Purtapetrma, Oct. 22—A special dispatch trom Mauch Chunk, Pa, says: Webster H. Camp- bell,who was convicted in court last week of in- voluntary manslaughter for the killing of Gertie Hiskey, was sentenced yesterday by Judge Dreher to an imprisonment of six months in the county jail and to pays fine of $20. Then followed one of the most extraordinary and dramatic scenes ever witnessed in the courts of Carboncounty. The aged mother of the dead girl ay fairly wild in her dissatisfaction with the sentence, and her attorneys were powerless to pacify h r. The unfortunate woman gave vent to her pent- up feelings and lost entire contro! of herself. ‘She sprang to her feet, and with arms raised on high in a ioud, shrill voice called out: “God Almighty, come down and do Justices Tam not satisfied to see my dear daughter slanghtered in cold blood and him,” pointing her “have only six finger at the prisoner, months in jail. No, mo. God Al- mighty, come into this court house and do the fair thing. Oh, come down. Oh, do justice to this case.” Every time an attempt was made to pacify her she would break out afresh and exclaim, “Leave go; Ged has sent me here to tell the truth.” She scored the judge, capri for the de- fense and every one whom in her frenzy she thought responsible for the easy manner in which the slayer of her daughter got off. She finally sank to the floor rely exhausted and fainted awa: A cot was brought and the dis- tracted mother placed upon it and carried out of the court room. cl oe eg A TAIL-END WRECK, Many Seriously Hurt in an Accident Near Kansas City.

Such a method would apply to all corporations alike and would be the nearest approach to equality in taxation, Any other scheme, it seems to me, would be unequal and in some instances, perhaps, oppressive. & tax on gross earnings seems now t be the policy of Congress in regard to personal tax upon street rail roads in this District, as is evi ced in the case of the Eckington and Soldiers’ Home road, whose charter, granted in ISS8, contains a vision that its personal tax shall be levied cy its gross receipts. A per centage ou the gross receipts of street railway corporations is the method of taxing such corporations in many of the larger cities. For instance, the tax in timore is 9 per cent on the gross earni besides a state and city tax on their estate and an anunal tax on each car, In New York the minimum is 8 per cent Springfield, IL; Frederich Baumann, Chicago; | for the first five yoarsand5 percent there- Emlend Little,’ New York; H.

The additions to the Soldiers’ Home building and the altera- tions to the main portion of the building have been made under his direction.
