As a matter of fact, there is the largest reserve of money standing to the credit of Irish tenants than there has been in any preceding year. The growth in this respect has been continuous. In 1840 the savings bank reports showed deposit* of £1,300,000. In 1885 they reported deposits ui £4,300,000. These are popular banks with the poorer okswi of depositors, and alongside of the repeated assertions of the poverty-stricken condition of the Irish people and their inability to pay rent it is interesting to notice that, While the expenditure for has fallen greatly in Great Britain in recent years, it has appreciably inoreastkl in Ireland.

The following portion of the pampbiet is furnished by the union for circulation in America: Washington, Sept. 14.—While no definite official decision has yet been reached, it is probable that a bond call for at least $10,000,- 000 will be issued this week.

August A, Sept. 14.—Election day in Maine this year was one of tho loveliest of autumn days, but regardless of the auspicious weather the vote of the state shows tt large reduction over that of two years ago. The returns indicate the election of Bodweli, Republican, for governor, by a reduood plurality from that glvei; to Robie two years ago. Thereturns from 150 towns show a reduction in the total Republican vote of 4,887, and in the Democratic vote of 1,785. 'Hie reduction in the Republican plurality, therefore, foots up 8,102. If the same ratio continues through the state the Republican plurality will be reduced about 0,0!).) from 1884. It is evident that Bodweli has received from 12,000 to 14,00(1 plurality.

I have tin written statement of forty responsible people who saw me on the night in question and early the next moming.-and the testimony of these forty people wffi outweigh the statement of persons whose identity has never yet been discovered." In regard to this work on the Cutting cms, Mr. Sedgwick said that he had made considerable progress; had compiled and gathere4 a great May documents.bearing on the c«se, but would say nothing as to its aspect Be will remain here perhaps * week, and may be compelled to go back to Chihuahua or even to the City of Mexico before his return to Washington. There has been no demonstration over the I'esult. Indeed, the first returns from the citics and largu towns early hi the evening alarmed the Republican leadora, for the losses were so heavy thSt if Uiey had continued in the same proportion through the state the result would be greatly ill doubt Tho gains in the back towns saved the day. John Shafer, a miner, 50 years old and married, was crushed to death by the fall. His body was found. His son, Henry-Shafer, had three ribs broken and a shoulder fractured. holdings Laying aside all rhetorical booh, it is necessary to state succinctly the actual facte concerning evictions. By the land act of 1881 a tenant cannot possibly be evicted unless he fails to pay his rent or refuses to comply with certain statutory conditions not forming imaginary grievances. Ejectment for non-payment of rent cannot be brought for less than a year's rent actually due, and, should ejectment be brought, the tenant may redeem at any time within six months after ItB execution, or may within the Suae period sell his tenancy, after the execution of the ejectment, to anybody who wishes to purchase and who has the privilege of redeeming. Besides this, the tenant has many other advantages, and thefofore evictions are both dangerous and costly to the landlord, and are only practiced in extreme cases. Should a year's rent fali due in September, October or November the landlord cannot get a decree until the January sessions, and six months more must elapse before he can obtain possession of the land. The landlord is then liable to the tenant for the crops thereon, so that nearly two years must elapse before he can fully recover the tenancy. MAYOR SMITH FOUND GUILTY. Thomas Healey, a laborer, had his fee* caught underneath a mass of earth, and rescued himself by leaving his boots in the mass. Tlie Committee Keooihiuend that He be Impeached. Philadelphia, Sept. 1^,—The committee of investigation, into the charges against Mayor Smith have reported to the common couucil that he is guilty of misdemeanor and maladministration of office. The findings are: Joseph Rody, a driver, escaped with a smashed foot, and George Mason, a miner, had a hand crushed. The li.rht has not been an enthusiastic or exoitfnx out, The Democrats have had f#w m#otifTsDWle the Republicans have stumped every part of' the state with their ablest ttpon'iCPrs, headed by Mr. Blaine, who has HiKiken in m-arly every county.

These men are still imprisoned in tbe pit of death: John Carden, John Young, Patrick McNulty, Cormac Maguire, Patrick Kavanaugh, Patrick Murphy, Patrick Harrison. Secretary Bayard Denies tha IqxrM Canadian Demand. First—That the mayor received and retained license fees which it was not made his duty by any law to receive, and which should have been turned over to the city treasury. r, Sept. 14.—Secretary Bay- A party of searchers was in the mine all the afternoon. The roof has been "working'* constantly ever since the searchers went down, and the Indications are that the seven are far beyond the reach of help. ard authorizes a denial of the reports of a demand haying been made by the Canadian or British governments or the receipt at the department of any.other communication in reference to the seizure of the British sealers by the revenue cutter Corwin. Ha discredits the repented utterances of the Canadian commissioner of fisheries as pablUMd. If the treasury dspartmwit finds the seizures to have been improper, or if that decision is reached by any other competent tribunal, ah international question of damages may ari""* which the diplomatic representatives of United States and Great Britain wMld amicably ad- Just. If the question of (he legality of tfceee seizures arise* it will be a new djplonwtya question and will, of course, receive prompt attention at the department, but tWs question has not been raised. The matter is as yet officially before the treasury department only; but at the state department the rights ,*nd obligations of the United States in Canadian waters is the subject of study in view of the .possibility of international discussion of the qwtion. . Second—That he failed to comply wit»the law requiring the regulation of pawnbrokers, thus enabling them to carry on business without license. One of the searchers said that he had little hope of ever getting the men out alive. He was of the opinion that three of them ars already dead and that tho others will die before they can be reached. The scene around the entrance to the mine is one of anguish. The shaft is surrounded by weeping women and children whose relatives are buried iir the black shaft The tremendous cave-in shook the earth for a radius of two miles, many people in the neighborhood imagining that an earthquake had taken place.  Third—By failing to exercise proper supervision over the affairs of his office, whereby moneys belonging to the city were collected dining the years 1884 and 1885 and retained In the alleged possession of his chief clerk, who made no return to the city treasurer or to the city controller of moneys so received and so retained until forced to do no from fear of discovery. In 1884 the Irish holdings numbered 565,254, and the number of evictions during the first six months of 1886 was only 2,007, a large majority of these-being for more than a year's arrearage of rent Carefully prepared returns show only 800 cases of absolute removal, many of the tenants evicted having been readmitted to their holdings. Indeed, many of the 860 were reinstated as caretakers (an additional important fact) by the county court. The rules in all cans of ejectment are such that the county judge is able to grant such stay of execution, as under the circumstances he considers reasonable, a similar course being frequently taken in superior courts. Fourth—In that he was negligent in the discharge of his duties as a sworn public officer, whereby it was possible for John L. Linton, the mayor's private secretary, to alter checks drawn to the order of the city treasurer, that the mayor might deposit them in his private bank account, aijd that it was possible for the said John L Linton to receive and retain pubUo. mqneys and appropriate the same to his own use, which moneys should have been paid into the city treasury, and in tbqt the said John IDC Linton was net required to keep any books of account nor to make return of those moneys which he had been delegated by the mayor to collect JAMES G. BLAINE'S MARRIAGE. What Is Said About the Blatter a* Aa- grits ta. Augusta; Me., Sept. 14.—The marriage of James G. Blaine, Jr., a* week ago la it Monday, at St Leo's Roman Catholic chttrcb. New York, was first generally made known in Augusta last night by special dispatches to the Boston papers. The fact of the marriage • was, of oourss, made known to the Blaine family immediately after its occurrence, but they hajve kept the matter secret until its public mC ration. Just why they have adopted tills course cannot be conjectured, as Miss Neviias, the bride, recommended, herself thoroughly to the society of Augusta during her stay here for her amiability, beauty and refinement It was well understood here that she was of a. family fully equal in social standing to the Blaines, and common consent of tbe community has it that the young gentleman has been exceedingly fortunate in. his choice. EM It appears that young Mr. 31aine returned alone to Augurta after the marriage, and that after a brief honeymoon his bride rejoined her parents in New York, where she now is. He has undoubtedly personally communicated the fact of his marriage to bis father, but the latter has boen so busy wlith his election campaign that he has perhaps not had time to attend to the maftter of paternal forgiveness, and a reconciliation all around. At any' rate the young man is still here, in daily ccfmnuxnication with Mr. Frank Nevins, but separated from his wife of little more than a week. What Mr. Blaine, senior, will do in the i is only a matter of conjecture. Rumor has it, however, that he is incensed at the marriage, chiefly, perhaps, because the boy is not yet 'twenty and has not evenbegian his college course. Ws lady low is True. . Wabken, O,, .Sept. 14.—After tocr day! tedious work, a£d after exhausting the venire of over SOO in the noted Webster nnwder Regarding the money subscribed for the purpose" of fermenting and keeping alive agitation, it is needless to remind the public that the Nationalists boast that even the poorest and most needy of the Irish people have shown their sympbthy with the agitation by the extent and continuance of their contributions. It is needless here to inquire into the truth about the matter of how much compulsion is necessary in obtaining money. All that is required is that the hard, stern fact should be noted carefully that the Land league was started in 1879 with the avowed object of assisting the Irish tenants. Its first practical move was to commence drawing subscriptions from those tenants. Fifth—By reason of his negligence in the supervision of the police department special officers were appointed, whose dereliction of duty had to be admitted and whose services were so seldom rendered tHat they could not account before the committee for the work for which they had received pay from the city. « .

Two years ago Reed had a plurality over Nathan ClMivax of 025, though Robie carried the district by 1,91.2.

Grand Haven, Mich., Sept HL—Ths raport of the loss of the steamer Oracle Barker la net confirmed. She la a small passenger steamer running between Charlerolx and Petoskey. She is owned and oommanrted by Walter E. Oreysler, of Benton Harbor- There is probably no foundation to tne' report The storm was -very severe, bat no accidents to vessels are reported-here. 3t»e ichoonen Thomas Humes, Annie Dall, PJmbnfx ri*l Cape Horn came in for shelter smd sro as yet windbound. Mr. Claridge, of the committee, made a minority report disagreeing with the majority. The reading of the committee's report was listened to with intense interest, and was followed by considerable exqitement. The council then postponed further consideration of the matter until Thursday, in order to give the members time to study the report and the evidence. Taking into account the diminished population, the consumption of beer and spirits in Ireland in 1885 showed an aggregate increase of £341,804, while if 1884 were compared with 1881 the increase would reach the enormous total of £750,000. Shot at a Bird, Killed » *•»•D. Port Huron, Mich., Sept.' 14!—Jamsa Dorr, a young married man, was arretted here ftsrsbooting Albert Ribald, in the town .ofiCasca, on. Saturday afternoon. Dorr waa out chooting birds and took dim at one which woa ««;a fence.

Mauley, of Augusta, chairman •of the Republican state committee, has been elected to the legislature from thin city. In .Bath, J. W. WokefleUl, the Sagadahoc mem- Iter of the same committee, was also elected .to tliat body. Portland returns Fred N.

Litt'efleld, a member of the committee for Knox county. a candidate for the legislature, and was. defeated by a labor candidate endorsed by the Democrats. Mr: Little- Held was a member of the last house, and was a prominent candidate for the speakership this year. Both brandies of the legislature are Republican, giving that party control on joint ballot, and insuring the re-election of Eugene Hale to the United States senate. The coincidence is worth noting that the reduction in rente under the land act of 1881 is more than equaled by the increased consumption of beer and spirits during the same period. The mayor's private secretary, Maj. Linton, has resigned on account of the mayor's dissatisfaction with his course in regard to the matters which have been made the basis of charges against the mayor. Finally, on the authority of The North British Agricultural Gazette, in England rente were raised 28 per cent, between 1840 and 1880; in Wales, 84 per cent, and in Scotland 49 per cent, while in Ireland they had decreased within that period and were further cut down by the act of 1881. Father Fahy In Jail. Dublin, Sept 14.—Father Fahy, pastor of the Catholic church at Woodford, county Salway, wks arraigned before the magistrate at Woodford, charged with threatening the owner of property at that place, whose tenants had been evicted. He was ordered to furnish bail for his good behavior for six months, or to be imprisoned for a like period. Father Fahy refused to give bail and declared bis for imprisonment. A PARSON'S PERIL. lie has the Spirit of Madame De Bar The following figures from Parnellite prints show that from October, 1879, until the-government suppressed it in October, 1881, the Land league received by subscription in Great Britain and Ireland £17,804. During the same period the Fair trial fund received £1,024 and the relief of distress fund £942. From all souroes, and largely from America, the last named fund received £00,672, £10,000 of which was deviated to the Parnellite political fund, and of which there is still a balance of £3,068 entirely unaccounted for. Permitted to Oo to Work. Onset Bat, Mass., Sept 14.—The Rev. Mr. Skinner, of Cambridge, a recent convert from Unitarianism, created a sensation at the session of the Onset Bay Spiritual lyceum by denouncing by implication Madame De Bar, the spirit picture-taking medium, as a fraud and trickster. Some of his auditors resented this, and one woman, Mrs. A.'E. Fennel, of Maine, rose and replied bitterly to his strictures. Madame De Bar, although at the grove, was not present, and she has repeatedly threatened to horsewhip any man who dares to say she is anything but a reputable woman. The friends of Mr. Skinner express much anxiety for his future, as he is a small man with one maimed limb, and the madain is a stout, powerful woman in full poaiession of her powers. After Hlin. strike is practically off. lie workers of several firmi* have been granted permission by the Knights to go back to wort The strike will, it is said, be declared off this week The change has been brought about by mutual concessions.
