TIMOTHY HARRINGTON'S TRIAL “The Korry Bentinel Proprietor Sen- tenced For Six Weeks. A REHEARING TO BE GRANTED. The True Inwardness of His Prosecu- + . tlon Hecauke of His Being Scee retary of the Irish Nae tional League. Another M. P. Sentenced. (Copuright 1588 by James Gordon DBennett.) Losvox Jan. 10.—(New York Herald Cable~Spueial 1o the Bre.]—Another mem- ber of parliament has been sentenced to jail, though the case will have to be retried. Timothy Harrington has been imprisoned before and knows all about it still-t will be inconvenient to the National league to lose his services even for six weeks, No man knows so much about the international or- ganization of the league, who its friends and enomnies are, how its funds are aisposed of. The Kerry Sentinel, on account of which Harrington is to suffer, is not worth going to prison for. Tt never pald its way and always has a bill of sule hanging over its head. The two Harringtons manage it between them., Edward has twice been in jail on account of it. These press prosecutions are regarded with much dislike even in orthodox union circles. In this case matters are being made to as- sume a particularly unpleasant aspect from the positive statement that Timothy Har- rington really s nothing to do with the Kerry Sentinel, but that he is being pre cuted because he is secretary of the National league. Edward is a journalist, Timothy having little time or inclination for that oc- cupation. Both take an active part in debates in the house, where Timothy will certainly be missed, though not for long. Rely upon it. he will make up for arrcars when he gets back to Westminster, Considering what is going on, it is rather amusing to find the Standard to-day calling, upon Lord Salisbury to show more firmness. What more does it want ? Thé premier says his own organ must adopt a more command- ing tone, and of course he dare not disobey. In 1881 over a thousand men were held in Irish jails without trials. The Standard seems to be regretting those haicyon days. “Speak up louder, my lord!” crics Captain Bobadil. “Show a little pluck. Look at me and catch hold of my coat if you're afraid.” Lord Salisbury will be much obliged to his valiant protector yet. An old leading conservative said to me: “That blanked Standard is always making & fool of itsclf and of us. Pity we haven't got. a good sound tory paper. It is rather hard perhaps on Borthwick as well as Midford. If the prime minister will say out all -he thinks he will make an interesting speech at Liverpool. Does he still think of jumping into a triple alliance and having a bank at Russia ¢ Does he think Ireland will cause no further trouble this year! Docs he really think Nephew Balfour will make the greatest leader of the house of commons this century has seen? What does ho think of Lord Hartington's advice proffered to him yesterdayt Is he desperately in love with the new local government's bill which is to bring country gentlemen down to a level with the smallest storekeeper and deprive them of all special influence or weight! Does hoe think the tory party will hug that cruel bill to their he What does he think of the mew cloud which has arisen - in the Scotch highlands, where crofters have taken to set- tling the land questiop by force of arms. A thousand highlanders are up and the fire may spread all through the crofter district. At such a time as this if Lord Salisbury wishes to make a scnsation he has only to tell the world his candid opinion of these matters. But probably he will prefer to make his speech in his own way, not heeding Mr. Simon Tappertit, of the Standard, who is thirsting for more blood. A crofter insur- rection in Scotland, the land league started in Wales and all kinds of trouble brewing in and aboutIveland—what sort of a programme is that? Ong thing 1 can tell you, and that is that not many people like tne looks of it. It forbodes mischicf. There is no coercion bill for Wales and the Scotland districts cannot be proclaimed nor meetings prohibited, It may only be a coincidence, but it is awkward for the government that the prairie is taking fire just on the eve of session. Have tho crofters and Welsh been holding themselves back till the house met, knowing how difieult it is for a ministry to take any unusual or strong action in the teeth of vigilant opposition? Something more scientific than accident seems to be at work. The government has in Ireland as much us it canmanage. Dear old Scotland and gallant Wales now show signs of taking u-hand in the fight. If they mean business the horizon will be pretty ‘black for the' government all round before the Sth of next month. A MeNMBER OF PAKLIAMENT. ezt Received By the Pope.

(Copyright 1558 by James Gordon Benmett.] Loxpox, Jan, 9.—[New York Herald Cable—Spocial to the Bee.]—I have just re- turned from Chiselhurst and Farnborough, at which places was fully carried out the burial programme sct forth yesterday. The feature to-day regarding the latest funeral honors to Napoleon 11I. aud Napoleon IV., as some Bonapartists speak of the prince imperial, was the same feature that attended the first burial ef the great Napoleon. Each Bonapurte has been carried to his grave on English soil by English soldiers. Upon arriving in the, early morning fog and mist at Chiselhurst station, a group of royal artiHerymen from Woolwich, where the prince had studied the“art of war, pre- sented the first notable object. After that came as objects of interest groups of neigh- bors and villagers from milesaround. These had their sentiment and their curiosity but, most of all, they had their “‘self-inter- est.” The attractions to Chiselhurst are be- ing lost, and all through the obstinate bigo- try .of & lord of the mauor, who, hating Fronchmen and. papists, has- resistod oven the overtures of the queen and prince of Wales to sell Eugene sufficient, ground for a mausoleum. The next object of intercst wasa railway carriage for the reception of the cof- fins. 1t was fitted as a kind of a Chapelle Ardente. At one end was a large_ivory cru- cifix, with u background of black drapery, on which was woven a Latin cross, The sides and top of the carriage were lined with black cloth, relieved here and there by small white edging. » There white metal o8, ea at intervals. On'the walls of the carriage hung smali shields with a crown, and the well-known initials of father and son. The mourn- ing drapery was spangled with steel stars, Treading my way through the curious throng I was soon in the little chapel. The low mass service wasto be private. Only twenty-seven persons were present. Among these by special favor is the’the old local station master, whom the emperor, empress and prince well rogurds He is fond of showing, on a blotting pad, the autograph of the young soldier and of telling how at the station the latter had forgotten to sign bis autographic French will and had there signed and_dated it beside the rail- way blotting pad. The service was much the same that. they were accustomed to hear the 9th of every mouth, Spocial prayers were read for thé emperor. One incident im- pressed the sad group of wuruhlu{( rs and which many of the old villagers looked upon asa strange omen. During the entire ser- vice 8 mongrel outside howled mourn- fully without cessation. Many of the chilled congregation shivered more as they heard the dreary sound. The exercises begun with the choir singing Kyrie llison, O Saluta is rHostia, Sanctus, and Agnus Dei. Then the family chaplain, Monsignor God- dard, knelt at the sacristy where the bodies were lying. He there recitod ““De profundis” glish and next bowed with emotion, which was yisibly shared by the little congro: gation. He remained for many minutes in silent prayer. When the low mass was ended the few spectators slowly walked around the biers on which were two fresh wi by the empress, on the princ white chrysanthemums, the other of white rosebuds and violets. 'Next came in with echoing tramp sixteen soldiers, and while the organ sobbed, as it were, some solemn chords, eight artillerymen men lifted each bier and fairly staggered with the weight toward the gun carriages at the vestibule, Arrived at the station half a mile distant, Lord Sydney, representing the queen, wes the first-30 Aof his hat, The hilly ground about was lined with reverently disposed people. Orly Monsignor Goddard entered, vested in-white surplice and purple cassock, the. funeral carriage and until Farn- borough was reached kept solitary vigil. At this latter village another detachment of royal artillery men waited: the arrival. The ascent of the Berkshire hills from the station 10 the demesne of the'empress is steep, and the eight horses caparisoned in black velvet attached toeach gun carriage gave evidence of the heavy ,task awarded to them. The roadway here was also lined with cager spec- tators from far and uyear. The little proces- sion turned within a short distance of the drawing room windows of the Farnborough mansion and behind the closed blind leaned the empress with feelings rather to be im- agined than described, as she doubtless caught sight of the cortage. This was met at the portal of the gothic stone mausoloum by Mousignor Carter Perre Paulin, abbe; Gen- eral des Chavines Neglicres Prementres, Father Edward, Canon Prementres, two priors, several . priests’ - and chor- isters, who . escorted .the remains within and down to the crypt, where last week was removed the sarcophagus bre- sented by the queen when the emperor was first interred, and where a similar _sarcopha- gas had beon, made for the cofin of the prince Here were awaiting Prince® Luc Jonaparte and Major Bigge, of the artille who represented the queen. On the bi were placed now wreaths, One from the queen was of imperishable owers,and affixed to it was her autograph card. Princess Beatrice sent asother wreath. Both of these wreaths Lad the ihitial R in their centers. The wreath sent by the Duc De Padone was of blue chrysanthemums. Other wreaths were from the Caroness Burdette Coutts, the Dowager Marchioness of Lansdowne, and the Murquis De Nalette. Many of these floral tributes were laid upon the front of the crypt altar. The monks now wuuhlugl&' chanted and sang vespers for the dead. To-morrow morning they will hold mass, at which only the empress aud some immediate friends will be present, —— The Czar Taking Precautions. ST.

A Question As to the County Com- missioners Powers TO INVESTIGATE JOE MILLER. County Attorney Simeral Says They Have None-Lawyer Offut Disa- grees With Him and Lays Down the Law. Jailer Miller's Case. Joe Miller, the suspended Jailer, throughont the day yesterday held an informal levee in the court house, and took thousands of poople by the hands who had come to express their sympathy towards him in his hour of trial and to assure him of their positive disbelief of the World's charges and vagae insinua- tions. Every officral in the county building told him that they thought the whole thing ‘was a piece of malicious persecution, and ex- County Judge Bartholomew said he was con- fident that Joe would come out of the fight unseathed and with flying colors, Following are the opinions of ofice the court house: Counsy Treasurer Bolln— World's charge about “I think tho 10 bo very transparent and silly. To my personal knowledge Mr, Miller is on of the best failers we ever had." Register Mogeath—Don't know much about Mr. Millor, but am inclined to believe him innocent of the charges.” Ex-Deputy County Clerk Auchmoedy— “The charges made in the World are, in my opinion, too silly for serious consideration. 1 have kiown Joe Miller for many years and know that ke is us houcst n man as ever stood. He 1s a strict disciplinarian and would under no circumstances permit prisoners to be robbed. As to the nameless crimes with which the prisoncrs are churged, Mr. Miller could not possibly have known of them." County Clerk Roche—*1 am so little ac- quainted with Mr. Miller's administration that I would not like to offer an opinion until after an_investigtion.” Treasurer ftush—ul bolievo the talo to be false, but believe an in- City lmnmm-r hll\um—“l believe Joo Mil ler to be innocent of the World's charges.” Ex-District Clerk Fams—Dou't belicve a word of it.” County Attorney Simeral—‘Can't offer any opinion until after investigation. It wouldu't be professional.” Mr. Miler was emphatic yesterday denouncing the story and says that he will bring an_action aguinst Mr. Hitehcock at onee for damag About 3 o'clock in the afternoon Chairman O'Keefle's gavel fell on his desk, and in a jifty County Commissioners Mount, Andrews and Corrigan were all attention and riveted their eyes on County Attorney Simeral and Attorney Offut, the last named appearing in the interests of Jailer Joe Miller. The com- ioners had signified their willingness to gal enlightenment as to their juris- in investigating Mr. Miller,” and wHeced abuses in the jail, and fivst called upon Mr, Simeral for advice, He guve it as his opinion that the commissioners had no power to investigate Mr. Miller, clinching his assertion to the effect that his was an appointive office and n arily came within the jurisdiction of the district court and the grand jury. As proofs of this Mr. Simeral read from sections 7 and Sof the compiled statutes of Nebraska on juils as follows: sheriff, or other officer per- ‘the duties of sheriff, shall on_or be- jirst day of November of each year, tin writing from said jail register, a . one copy of which said report he wwith file in the office of the clerk of the district court of the proper district, one copy with the county clerk of his county, for the use of the comunssioners thereof, and ono copy. of said report he shall trans- mit to the secretary of state, and it shall be the duty of the sccretary of state to communicate the reports of the several sheriffs of the state to the_legislative asscuibly, on or before the first day of its session, Sec. 8. It shall bo the duty of the district rt to give this chapter in charge to the v once each term of said court, and ¢ befora them any and all rules, plans and regulations, cstablished by the district judye, relating to munu Juils and prison . discipling which shall then'be in force. Offut discounted Mr. Simeral’s reason- 2, and maintained that the counnissioners had full power to goon with the investiga- tion, backing up his argument by reading section 2 of the compiled statutes of Ne- ln.hk'um counties and county officers, Ap- board of - commission v © oviginal jurisdiction thercof by Mr. Offut World a Continuing sidered the and its editor, Mr. A reputable eitizen represctations of being fair dealings with his fellow men.
