Dublin, June 4.—The evictions at Bodyke continue. The tenants are offering all the opposition in their power to the sheriff and his guard of police and troops, and find various means seriously to annoy the officers. In some of the houses from which the occupants were to be evicted cayenne pepper was burned, the fumes of which nearly choked the bailiffs. Boiling water was a'so thrown from the windows upon tL.e evicting force. At two houses where evictions wore effected collisions occurred between the police and the peoplo, and a number of arrests were made. When tho sheriff's foreo arrived at tho house of a tenant named Lyddyond ordered the family to leave, a daughter of Mr. Lyddy threw an iron hoop at a bailiff who attempted to enter the door. Tlie hoop missed the bailiff, but struck a police inspector. The girl was arrested. A brother of tho girl was also arrested for inciting the crowd to violence against tho police. Another daughter of the tenant, who denounced the treatment her family were receiving, was struck by a policeman and felled to the ground. This maddened the crowd, and they advanced for the purpau of attacking the officers. Michael Davitt, who was present at the evictions, pleaded with the peoplo not to use violence, and barely managed to avert a collision. Malon*, N.

Senator Reyburn says the session need not last more than a week, and would not cost anything, as the senate would defeat a bill making an appropriation for salary. It ia doubtful if a quorum could be obtained under such on arrangement. Mr. Faur.cc says that the cost would not be over (160,000, and that all the members he has seen favor the extra session. Senators Cooper THE NEW LICEN8E LAW. The Ma lone Palladium has the following statement of Mr. Wheeler's critical illness: Brighton Beach, L. I., Juno 4.—First race, five furlongs; Nil Desperandum first, Racquet second, Harvard third; time, 1:04%.

He is suffering from softening of the brain, and there are indications of approaching paralysis. A carbuncle has appeared just above the hipon one side and has become an element of further weakness. It seems impossible that he oan rally, and his death at any hour would not be surprising, though he may survive for several days. The Duty of CeaattUea in Making Beiaraa to Csad, When he stepped out of the car the young woman who hail written to him embraced him warmly. As Harris was still locked in her arms he glanced over the woman's shoulder and saw his wife moving rapidly down the platform with her fist clinched and sunshade raised in the air. She seized Harris by the hair and emphasized what she had to say with the handle of the sunshade. Harris and his wife returned to Worcester in the next train and the yoang woman has disappeared. The new lioense law, except as to the granting of licenses, is now in operation, and as oonstables are in many cam in doubt aa to tho proper oonrae to pursue, the sections of the act relating to them are given herewith: Section 11. The constable of the respective wards, borough or township in each oounty, shall in the first week in each term of the oourt of Quarter Sessions, make returns under oath of all plasci in his bailiwick where vinous, spirituous, malt or brewed liquors, or any admixture thereof, are kept for sale or sold, except stores kept by druggists and apothecaries, stating which of Mid places are licensed under this act and which are unlicensed: and it shall be the especial duty of the Judge of said oourt to aee that this return ia faithfully made. And on failure of any constable to comply with this provision, or if it be found, upon examination or inquiry by said courts, that any constable has either wilfully or negligently omitted to return all such bouses and the names of the proprietors thereof in his bailiwick, he shall be guilty of wilfully or negligently making a false return, and the oourt shall auspenl him from office and direct the district attorney to iadiot and try said officer, and, if found guilty, he shall be fltiod in a aum not exceeding five hundred dollars and undergo an imprisonment, either simple or solitary, not exceeding two years, both or either, in the discretion of the court. Governor Beaver gives the advocates of an extra session a patient hearing, but remains firm in his determination not to call one. Friends of the governor say the reconvening of the legislature at this time, just on the threshold of his four years' term of office, would be a fatal blunder, and claim that no matter bow much good it would do there is so much that is distasteful in the idea tHat it would be used to reflect on the administration. Besides this, it is urged that with careful economy the state can easily get through the next two years with what revenues it will receive under the act of 1885. "Mr. Wheeler has been slowly failing through the past five or six years until last winter, when t£e progress of the diseaso became more rapid and his physician and friends began to fear the approach of the end. "On the night of March 3 he was seized with chills, followed by a sinking spell, and Or. Gay thought for hours that be would die. He afterward rallied, however, but never again regained his former vigor and strength.

Hall was lying oil the floor unconscious, he having cot his throat with a razor. Ho was taken to the German hospital. Several letters written by Hall were found in the room, the contents of which showed tli .t the deed was premeditated. A sealed letter was addressed to James Rivers, Topeka, Kan., ami another, which was unsealed, was directed to Hall's father, John M. P. Hall, 2127 Morgan street, St Louis. It was dated May 18, and informed his fattier that by the Mop the letter reached him his life would have ended by bis own band. Another letter was addressed to the coroner, asking that his father be informed of his death, and requesting that such disposition be made of his body as Ids father may direct. The letter is dated May , and says that he takes the life of hiuisotf and wife (Mrs. Rivers) because of the faithlessness, accusing her of intimacy with a man named Arnold.

"The hearts of friends are heavy and tl» community feels that it has lost its most eminent and helpful member, but for Mr. Wheeler himself death has no dread.

A world of friends will mourn him, but to him the change will be but a release from a life of unrest, of pain and utter loneliness."
