A League meeting assumed the powers and nature of a court after the fashion of ‘O’Connell’s arbitration courts. despite the fact that such action consti- tutes-an offence under the statutes. A council of members was present. P. Sharkey presiding. Its first business was the trial of Patrick Higgins, of Lartan, a woman named Bridget Higgins having preferred a charge against him of undermining her in her holding. After deliberation, during which Higgins was greeted with angr cries, it was agreed to fine him one poun . Higgins paid the money and left the room. The cases of three shopkeepers whose names appear on the black list circulated in the neighborhood were next‘ considered. They applied for admission to the League, and their cases were there- upon postponed. The casesof other offend- ing tenants were considered and adjourned for a week for examination. Edward Cun- ningham then produced a list of shop- keepers in Boyle who had not joined the League, and moved that they get one week to make up their minds or be “ Boyeotted.” To-day the shops of traders whose names are on the black list were entirely deserted. Parties seen entering their houses, or known to be dealing with them, are warned. Various acts of intimidation are reported. mL- _r,_,,,| on .- A end and dramatic ovxction took place in county \Vicklow to-day. An old man named Arthur Kavanagh, in feeble health. who had a. cabin on the property of Earl Fitzwillinm, had fallen behind in his rent. A decree of ejectment was obtained by the earl at the lust Wicklow sessions, and his gamekcepor, with two boiliifa. went to execute the decree this afternoon. They had to carry Kavnnagh out. of the house, and us he was crossing the threshold of his cabin the poor old men gave one gasp and died in the gamekeeper’s arms. His body was laid by the roadside, and over it. for hours set his only mourner, a. grand- daughter. Kevanegh was formerly in a good position, having been previously a carrier between Dublin and Wieklow. He has been unable to work for two years, and was bedridden for sometime.

Dec. 8.â€"A terrible tragedy oc curred near Cookstown, county Tyrone this morning. A bailiff namedJames Mul holland was employed to .execute a decree againstafarmer named David Gormley, living at Lon h Fey, 9. wild part of the county. The ecree was at the suit of a trader. two of whose clerks accompanied Mnlholland. Upon their arrival at Germ- ley’e house, the latter came out with a shot-gun and called out to Mulholland to stand. Then, drawing a line across the read, he threatened to shoot Mulhollsnd if he crossed it. Mnlholland paid no heed to the warning and advanced. a Gormle then raised his gun and shot the bailiff t rough the heart. The corpse was soon afterwards removed to Cookstown. Gormley fled.

Petitions are beingcirculated through- out Dublin, addressed to the Lord Mayor. couched in the following terms: “ We, the ‘ undersigned, request you to convenes meet- ing of representative Irishmen in Dublin to give expression to a universal feeling of in- dignation which is entertained by all who respect the impartial administration of justice against the partisan and unjusti- fiable pronouncement of the Lord Chief Justice on the occasion of the recent motions with regard to the state trials." Mr. James McCoan, member of Parliament for county Wioklow, has written to Chief Justice May inquiring if the report in the newspapers of his judgment in the Evening Mail case was ‘ correct. Judge May replied thathe did not discuss such matters with a private in- dividual. It is reported that the law officers are considering Mr. Parnell’a Waterford speech, and it is not improbable that he may be inâ€" dicted on a separate charge in connection with that ape_e_oh. LONDON, Dec. 9.â€"Mr. FhamLefevre, the new Commissioner of Works, who is ‘ uni- versally recognized as holding liberal views regarding the Irish land question, in a speech at Reading last night, said he had no sympathy with the plans of intimidat‘ ing or the violent method of the Land League. They set up a government in op- position to that of the Queen, and this state of things could not be allowed to continue. He said ownership was the highest degree of security known to the law, but there were many degrees of security for tenants short of this which might be capable of more immediate application. The forma- tion of a class of peasant proprietors must necessarily be slow unless we are prepared to expropriate the landlords at our own price, and it would be easy to show that this could not be for the benefit of Ireland. It would multiply the evils of absenteeism fivefold, and would result. not only in a‘ fifth, but in all the rent in Ireland being sent out of Ireland in the shape of interest on the purchase money. The system of extend“ ownership could not last if it had its origin in confiscation and robbery. Whatever is done must be with every re- gard to the rights or compensation of the landlord. ‘ The Crown solicit?» has served a. 'for- mal notice of trial on the solicitor of the travel-sets. The jury will be struck on Monday. The grand jury at Cork to-day found true bills against Mr. Henley. M. P., and Mr. Walsh for the intimidation of Cornelius Manning, after the judge had given strong dig-entions to the jury. A Wicklow correspondent telegraphs that the inquest on Kavanagh, whose sad evic- tion was yesterday cabled, has begun. When he was brought out he begged one of the bailiffs‘not to put him out of the house but to shoot him, as he could not bear to leave. He cried bitterly. and com- plained that after being fifty years in Earl Fitzwilliem’e employ he should be turned into the road to die. A Castlebar correspondent telegraphs that great excitement prevails in that place owing to the visit last night of a party with blackened faces to the houses of several herdsmen, whom they compelled to go down on their knees and swear that they would leave their employers. Shots were fired, and the occupants of the house greatly ter- rified. In one case the daughter of a herds~ man was so overcome that she is in a pre- carious condition. Several of the herds- inen obeyed the demand. Similar mid- night visits are reported today from various parts of the country. A ‘uu _ Dams.

The inquest revealed the fact that Mulholland had taken the gun from Gonn- ley, but on a promise that the latter would not use it returned the gun. Thereupon Gormley raised it to his shoulder and fired. .V..-‘ v w..-â€" Too long has creed bééu hounded 8-3â€"2158}. ore‘ed in tha upllguppy land."

A large pane of plate glass was broken by turning on the full pressure of a hydrant, knocking the hose out of a fireman’s hands, the force of the water breaking the glaze.

Sr. Loms, Dec. 9.â€"â€"Louis Loekstem, who so literally butchered the Ryan family at Chester, 11]., yesterday, was a farmer liv- ing near Chester, and one of a family of six brothers and sisters. Louis had been a strong Roman Catholic, but of late had attended the meetings of other denomina- tions. Under great excitement occasioned thereby he became insane. but not vie: lently, his mania running mainly to asking ‘persons to pray with him. On Saturday last he made his two sisters kneel and pray with him in the street,; and he expressed the opinion that the world would come to an end in a few days. His story is that at the hotel from which he escaped persons were trying to rob him. and he had to run away; that when he neared the Ryan House he dis- covered it to be on fire, and that he rushed in and saved all the inmates with the ex- ception of the little bov,who he maintained perished in theiflames. He says that while saving the Ryans irom death by fire his own clothes were ignited and burned off him, and that he himself was badly scorched. Thomas R an was between 70 and 80 years old, very eeble and unable to defend himself against the attack of the maniac. His daughter. Mrs. Smith, was a young widow and kept house for him. They were highly respected. Grave Charges ol mismanagement by Emigrants Against an Allnnllc Liner. NEW YORK. Dec. 9.â€"The steamer Swit- zerland, of the Red Star Lino, which ar- rived yesterday. brought 430 steerege pas- sengers and 32 persons in the cabin. Nearly all the former were German and Swedish emigrants. Some of the passen- gers have made a sworn statement in which they charge the steamer’e oflicers with gross cruelty and- disregard of decency and morality on the~passa c. When the ship sailed from Antwerp t e emigrants were hurried aboard and even kicked and pushed. only ten minutes being allowed for 430 persons to get aboard. The steerage was wet and dirty, and the bedding water soaked. There was no separation of the sexes whatever. Only three lamps were lighted in the entire hold, and objects were not discernible a few feet away. Men and‘ women sle t promiscuously about during the whole on voyage of twenty days. The most disgrace ul criminality prevailed. To use the language of one of the men, “The ship was nothing less than a floating hell.” Some of the passengers could find no bunks and slept on deck. Some of the bunks broke down in the first storm. Only two gallons of fresh water were furnished in the morning for 430 people to wash with. The officers laughed at the passengers’ complaints.

We confess to a feeling of regret respect- ing the stories that have all along been current about the Princess Louise from Canada. The subject is, of course, a deli- cate one, but it directly concerns ourselves, and we have some right to know what it all means. . We are now directly informed that, for the first time since her return to Englandâ€"nearly six monthsâ€"her royal hig ness has called upon her royal mother the Queen. The temporary estrangement was announced more than once, and as often denied. but it is at present stated so circumstantially as to admit of little doubt. Our latest despatches are. to the effect that the princess left Canada against the express wishes of her majesty. Into private matters we have no business to pry, and we willingli acceptthe explana- tion that her royal ighness’ absence is due solely to the precarious state of her health. consequent on the deplorable acci- dent of which she was a victim last winter.
