Nationalists to Be Brought Before the Assizes. ‘Trrperany, Oct. 24.—Summonses have been served upon Mr. Harrison, member of the house of commons for the middle division of ‘Tipperary, Michael O'Brien Dalton, the latter of whom is one of the defendants in tho con- spiracy case on trial hore, and upon a number of other persons on the charge of assaulting the police at the time of the opening of the conspiracy trial. The trial on the cbarge will take piace before the assizes, but the pro- liminary hearing will be held before an ordi- nary court of petty scesions, The action of the crown in transferring the case from the magistrates court, from which the summonses were originally issued, to the assizes has caused renewed excitement in Tip- ary. Father Humphreys, who is one of the de- feudants in the conspiracy case and who was yesterday sentenced to pay a fine of £20 or stand committed for six months for assaulting a policeman’s wife, has made application for a summons against Mr. Balfour. The magis- trates refused to issue the summons, — ON CHESAPEAKE BAY. The Wind and Sea Continues to be Very Strong. Norrorx, Va, Oct. 24.—The wind and sea continues strong in Chesapeake bay.

New Yonx, Oct. 24.—The joint committee on fine arts, music and drama of the world’s fair convened at the Gilsey House at 10 o'clock this morning. Tho first subject disenssed was whether or not the committee should first ascertain from the directors of the fair what plans havo been arranged for the bureau, The selection of chief of the burcau was then discussed, Miss ffallowell and Mr. Kurtz have applied for the position, Director Loring of the Boston musenm was favorably mentioned in committee. No definite work will be done by the committee until affairs in Chicigo are more settled, as the committee has no money and no plan of action. From the discussions of the committee it would appear that the members thonght the bureau too large and that fine arts would be buia side issue in compzrison with the other two branches, The divcussion resulted in the Aoilowing resolution: Resolved, That it is the sense of the joint com- mittee on fine arts, music and drama of tho world’s Columbian exposition that tho bureau of fine arts should be separate and distinct from the bureau of music and the drama, and that the said bureau of fine arts should be re- stricted to the subject of fine arts proper. Asubcommittee consisting of Messrs. A. J. Bullock of Worcester, J. W. Ellsworth of Chicago and A. A. Wilson of Washington was appointed to interview prominent art collectors of this city and to obtain saggestions from them. At the close of tho business the com- mittee adjourned to meet in Chicago, Novem- ber 18, ——— In Wall Strect Today.

Robert O’Brien Shot by Thomas Me= Caffrey in a Chicago Saloon. Carcaco, Oct. 24.—At about 10:30 o'clock this morning Thomas McCaffrey, a bartender, shot and killed Robert O’Brien in Hand's sa- loon, at 1607 Wabash avenue. The shooting was the outeome of anold feud between Me- Caffrey and O’Brien. Shortly before 8 o'clock this morning the murdered man went into a saloon and imsisted = the bartonder, McCaffrey, drinking with im. Tl had several drinks together, and when eaerane oben they left the saloon together and started across the street. When in Hand's saloon they had some hot words and McCaffrey started into the base- ment.

The Cincinnati Improvements Board Bill Before the Ohio House. Corvunvs. Onto, Oct. 24.—Mr. Robeson of Dark county, speaker pro tem. of the house, made the opening speech this morning on the compromise bill regarding the Cincinnati Officials, It was caustic and peppery through- out, Speaker Hysell foliowed. He said that the poorest man had the right of trial by jury, and solemnly declared that he would never vote to smirch the character of.any man without giving that mana chance to defend himself. The regal displayed great feeling in his earnest Mr. Wiggins of Ross defended the bill from a republican standpoint and presented the unusual spectacle of an uncompromising repub- lican hotly defending a democratic governor who had been fiercely assailed by leadcrs of his own party on the floor. Mr. McDermott of Muckingham declared the governor's issue of “home rulo” was no more important than that of personal right and reputation, Mr. Binz of Ottawa was the first democrat for the prosecution, “Home rule,” he said, “was the democratic platform.” He knew his party, if defeated by its demand for honest government, would rise phenix like when the political barnacles now hanging to it had been knocked off. ‘The name of Campbel" will stand for pure and honest government and against corruption and boodle politics, In the hearts of the people his name will stand side by side with other great politieial reformers who, like bim, have brought down the wrath of a por- tion of their party. Mr. Nolan of Cincinnati defended the board and challenged the conscience of any one to believe it was dishonest in the absence of any charge. Mr. Hoge of Cuyhoga followed him, throw- ing handsfal of salt into the freshly lacerated democratic wounds, THE BILL PASSED, Later.—The bill has passed by a vote of sev- enty-one yeas, thirty-three nays, sass et ca Detroit’s Alleged ‘‘Boodle” Alderman.
