PPl THE OMAHA DAI BLESSINGS AND ~ CURSINGS. Lord fpencer's Conversion to Irish Home Rule a Power for Good. THE INCREASED Birmingham Solidly Against the Measure and Land Purchase— Determined Efforts Being Made by Both Sides. OPPOSITION. . For Trish Freedom. Loxpox, April 25.~[Spectal Cablegram. e home rule controversy holds the- field. he great meetings at Neweastle and Birn ingham on Wednesday proved even m important than had been expected. Lord Spencer’s sneech at Neweastle was by far the niost | the of all the public declarations ides Glad- stone’s own. The authiority of Lord 8pencer’s name, descrvedly very high, has been daily invoked on the behalf of home rale, but few gupposed that the conversion of the late victory in Ireland was so complete. Ho blesses whom he onee cursed. e enlogizes those against whom he wielded all the terrors of the law. Not content with supporting home rule, he pays a tribute to howe rulers who loaded him with calumnies, e acquits the Trish representatives of complicity in erime, believes that the new Irish parliament will be faithful to 1ts mission, and repels all suggestions that the Trish nation wishes for that complete separation which Parnell at Cinelnnati procliimed its real object. Lord Spencer, while still asserting the pe bility of enforcing law and preserving order in Ireland. believes that English democracy will not persevere in coercion, and, therefore, pronounces the oid methods exhansted and asserts that nothing is left. but the policy of trust in the Trish people and Irish leaders, Ie would not, however, trust them to deal fairly with Irish landlords, and thinks it would be mean and treacherous if the impe- rial parlament neglected to defend the land- Tords” inte The expression of these sentiments by men oceupying positions so exceptional as_ Lord Svencer, produces an impression which is probably stronger with the country in general than with the press. ‘The Times objects that Lis judgment in council was never so much esteemed as his conduet in - administiation and insists that every argument which he uses is not lesgvalid for home rule. Morley's specel at the same mecting was much oceu- pied with a defense of his own speech in the aouse, whieh L called the speeeh of despair. The Birmingham meeting the same nizght servea for something else than an announce- ment of Chamberlain’s ultimatuim, The strongest liberal association in the cdom, expressing the de- liberato convietion of the most intelligent,: cueretie and influential of English con- stituencies, has pronounced against Glal- stone’s home rule sehemes. 'Thebody known as the “two thousand,” whom Chamberlain addressed, are the federated caucuses of - all n electoral divisions of Birmingham. “They paid every compliment to Gladstone but declared themselves hostile to Gladstone's home rule measure, unless the essental principles and features should be modified, and hostile to fand purehase in Birmingham speaks with a Negotiations for a compromise have 1 with a chicck which seems final, Chambe Iain’s last word is harder than his first. e fnsists on the retention of the Irish at West- minster, no taxation without representation, aseparate assembly for Ulster, and no land purchase at any price, Gladstone’s assent to these conditions to be signitied before the ond reading of the bill. So vanish all hopes of aconeiliation between Gladstone and Chamberlain. The scheme thus modi- fied would cease to be Gladstone’s scheme. The Duke of Argyle's speceh the same nizht at Glasgow, like Lord Selborne’s three column letter in yesterday’s Times, in ences ehietly those already opposed to home rule. No small portion of the liberal party is still on the fence, “The Times reviews some memories of Irish methods by publishing o remarkable aceount of the dynamite party, past and present, with special reference to Daly, convicted in of intent to attempe the wholesale assassina- tion of the leaders of both parties by throw- ing a bomb from the gallery of the commons. 1t describes Daly as the ehosen instrument of Alexander Sullivan, of Chicago, and the swoin friend of Patrick Egan, Sullivan is the author of the rec rams announe- ing hi The ¥ ful to avernment which incl as 1554 adly Gladstone App in Print, Loxnox, April 25.—Gladstona has written the following letier to the Chronicle, “Itis not my cnstom to answer ¢ made by hostile newsnapers cere xespeet for the Chronicle, 1 would eall attention to an allegation made by itina Jeader that 1 haye heretofgre thought that Bome rule in Ireland would be a source ol imperial dar 1 will not_ehallengze proof of the assertion, which was doubtless made in good faith, bt it is entirely an_eror, | have always isked for an explanation of ‘the meaning of howe rulo in order to make elear the question whether or not it would be a source of danger.

Putney re- sulted in nisbeing bound over. Bond was fixed at £1,000, which was promptly given, M. Putney, who is editor and proprietor of the Oakdale Journal, 1s eharged with infanti- cude in the killing of the illegitimate child of Mary Anderson, his acenser. She is a Swede, weed 10 years, At the prelitinary examina- tion, which excited great interest owing to the prominenee of the accused, Mary Ander- son was the prineipal witness, and testifi substantially as follows: She became ac: quainted with the defendant at the house of W. Putney, his father, living in Oakdale, where she was employed. ‘The child, whose father she says was Forrest Patney, was born about two months ago, at 4 o'clock in the wmorning at the house of John Drayton, De- fendant was present. % # Ile took the child when it was born and took it away, saying nhe would leave it on someone's doorstep. Tte threatened to Kill her it she told who was the tather, and promised if she did not im- plieate him that he would marry her. She testified that she was afraid, and at first charged one Swauson with the erime. * * % “After the ehild was born,” continued the witness, I went to my brother’s near Clear- water. Putney came twice to sce me at Mr. Butter's and twice at Mr. Drayton’s, one of these times being when the child was born, It was moonlight at the time. 1 never saw Putne nee. 1 did not injure the child and never had it in my hands. lie put it in some rags, a pillowease, | gave him, put it under his coat and went off. He aid he came late to see me because he did not want anyone to see him, Iheard the child make a slight noise. 1 first heard the baby was dead while working at Frank Howell's, to which place T went after leaving Mr. Drayton’s. Before that 1 had watehed the papers to see if any- one had found a child on the doorstep. A rigid eross-examination failed to weaken the testimony of the witness, The girl main- tained her composure steadily throughout, until at the elose, when questioned concern- ing the circumstances of her fall, when she broke completely down and_eried piteons! Atone time it appeared as thouzh she would faint, and it was found ne to take her to the door for air and y to take her out of the room, It was an affecting senee, and one that willlong be remembered by those present. ‘Though she had held up wonderfully well until then, she was evidently at that time suffering intense mental agony, and her sub- dued moans and sobs were truly pitiful. The sobs were broken every fow minutes by ejac- ulations such as “God knows I didn’t do it and “*He has killed my child and why does he pursue me !’ The boys who found the body in the river testified as the fact, Frank Howell and wife both testified to the defendant calling at their house and having a conversation with Mary Anderson, and that thereafter the girl eried consider They also testified asto the girl providing clothing for the expected by taking some be- longing to their own childven. J. F. Butler testified that the defendant called at his house and inquired for Mary Anderson. Drs. Wait and Leas testified that the child found in the river had been alive, and also deseribed the injuries on its head an d throat, The defense did not introduce much testi- mony, and that only to prove an alibi. Miss Cooper testified that along about the first week in February the defendant Keeping company with her and that the up and talked every night until ab o’clock in the morning. I'he defendant’s yoom mate, James Smith, swore to the defendant’s sleeping with Lim on the night the affair is said to have oc- curred.

Erskins with an ax three gmiles north of this village on the 10th inst., died last night, Drs, Jackson and Eddy, of this village, gave very little encouragiment from the beginning, owing te the nature of the wound. Pubile sentiment is setting quite strongly against Erskins, vet no violent ¢ monstrations are looked for. Downey’s death can be attributea directly to whisky, as the facts ning the fatal blow show, On the ni the tragedy, about 9:30 o'clock, two young men, Sam Baker and George Downey, rode up to the school house where a number of men were hard at work finishing u job of moving, The young men had a bottle of aleohol, which they *had pur- chased at Burnett, and Georgo Downey had a revolver. They got off heir horses, and seizing some of those at work, shook them and tried to throw them down. They then jumped on one of the levers which were placed under the house, It fell, and they fell over on it, Some of the men at work remonstrated with them, and told them to stop bothering, This brought on a row in which Downey, who is a very powerful young man, knocked down two men, blacking their eyes, and otherwise soverely punishing them, Downey then ap proached Erskins, who had taken no part in the frucas, and W quietly at work, and asked him to drink, Erskins replied that he didw’tarink, whereupon Downey shoved the bottle in his face.

J S — ENRAGED ELEPHANTS. Herd Starts Ot to Annihil- ate an Aundicnce. New York, April 25.—[Special Telezram. ] Barnum’s season in New York came very near winding up with aterrible tragedy last night. While a herd of twenty-five elephants were performing in the ring, one ot them, Columbia, refused to obey her keeper, when the keeper pricked her sharply, Sne threw her trunk up over her back and uttered a deep ery of rage and pain, It rang throngh the cireus and piereed the ears of Hebe, the big female elephant. IHebe is Columbia’s mother, and when she heard her baby cry, she gave a squeal that made the eireus peop jump, amd made a chavge for the ring. Hebe did not stop to go out to the rng in the usual way, but went rizht across lots, pushing down and stakes in a bee line. All the otlier elephants, tnrowing up their trunks and tails, ran squealing hither and thither. ‘allalian, the keeper, was dashed to the ground, and women sereamed and fainted on seeing him erushed under the feet of the furious beasts, Common elephant Keepers came swarming in from the stables with sharp goads in hand and strugeled desperate- 1y to get the elephants back i their quar- ters. Butthey would not go. Finally Hebe, after slashing around with her trunk for a while, dashed around to the exit which leads to that seetion of the cirens containing the giants, fat woman and dwarfs, The entire herd followed after her. There nev- er was a more seared crowd that in the cireus. When the phants disappeared from the rving the crowd thought it was all right, but in two seconds there was a roaring right under the seats and peovle became more frightened than ever and began to break for the door, and all the lungs and entreaties of the attendance were lielpless to prevent a panic. People on the lower seats made a break for the exit, but a new ditticulty presented itself, The elephants were rushing around among the animals. The eireus horses and all the actors eame (ly- ing in to escape them, and the noise setup by the eage antn which wanted to join in the fun, was stunning. The people rushed back to the high seats and great efforts were made by the show people to calin their fears. The elephant tamers were work- ing like beavers, and after the interruption, which seemed like a week but which really did not last more than fitteen minutes, the band, which had narrowly missed being walked over, started up and the show went on again and finished. Beyond bruises sus- tained by some of the attaches and nervous prostration of numerous women, no great harim was done, But,as one man said, it was the most fortunate thing ever known, that a dozen people were not killed in - the terrible stampede, ———— ROCK ISLAND A New 8§ Barnum atement of Some Very Ancient Nows, CnicAco, Apil 25.—[Special Telegram, ] — The Times this morning says: The eackling by telegraph over the discovery in New York that the Rock Island company was going into the extension busess is a huge noise over avery nt piece of news.

WasiniNarToy, April 25.—[Special.]—Just at present the most interesting gossip in this city s that connected in some way with the rumored bride-clect of the White House. Parazraphs about Miss Folsom are floating about as thick as the budding leaves on the trees hiere, but I was told to-day a most ro mantic story about the gr and-aunt of Miss Folsom, who was the tiist Lady tling, of England. She, oo, wasa Miss she beecame “My Lady' Ster- She lived in the quaint New England town of Staftord, in Connecticut, and was the danghter of the village blacksmith, She was the beauty of the hamlet, and so pretty was she that her face was famous in the state. She was just budding into woman- lood whendit happened that Lord Sterling passed through the little village on his way 10 Boston. The arrival of such a nobleman 1 the colonial town was an event of much im- portance and of conrse everyone had a glimpse ot his lordship. My ator says history does not mention exactly how my lord first caught a glimpse of Miss Folsom. But the adition is extant that he fell in love at first it Her sweet, pure and innocent face won him at once, Instead of going direct to Boston he stayed in Stafford for some days and met the village beauty. Very probably he took his horses to her father’s blacksmith shop to be shod and then got solid with the old man. He went to Boston, bat returned and made quick work of his courtship. He popped the question in a matter-of-fact man- ner, was sted, and married the maiden and then left, saying he wonld come ba and ecarry her off to his English home. Months passed and no word eame trom his lordship. It was long before the days of fast ocean steamers, penny and telegraphs, but still he had time to ¢ nunicate with his bride, but he did not. ‘The gossips in the villaze laughed and shook their heads at the beauty, and said she had been tooled, but still she believed in her noble lord. ‘Time flew by, A son was born to her. Gossip then grew loud and harsh. 1 the blacksmith and his wite b gan to lock seriously at the affair; but at the end of the first year, aretinue of noblemen arrived in the town and asked for Lady Ster- ling. They informed her that her husband had sent a ship over from England to bear her to her manor, and it was waiting in the New York harbor to set sail for merry Eng- nd - with the bride. Still there were evil tongues that wagged and warned the Dride to stay and not be lured away to a for- eign shore to become the mistress of an English lord. But the lady believed in her lord, and went with his messengers. The ship she found awaiting her was indeed a royal one. It was fitted up with every com- fort known in those days for a pleasure ocean voyage. The mother and son svent many happy days in their floating paluce. On their arrival in England they found Lord Sterling awaiting her. She was received with great distinction, 1le acknowledged her as his wife and his family weleomed her us sueh and their mar- ried life is known to have be»n most happy. Now the great-grond nie is about to sail from England, not on a special ship, but on a magnibicent ocean mer. The lord picked out for her will probably not be wait- ing herrarival at the New Y ork quarantine, but he will pe here and soon after her arrival, it gossip is true, she will come hither and become the first lady in the United States. posts ste: STAR ROUTI The time schedules of Towa have been el ford to Leonard—1 cept Sundays, at 7 by 12 m.; Leave Leon days, at 1330 p. m.; arrive at pom.
