Rottenness of the English System In
Ireland.
New York, Feb. 22. —A special
London cable to-day to Redpath’s
Weekly says: The acceptance of
Carey’s testimony on condition of giv
ing bis life, is a crowning disgrace for
the government, and reveals the utter
rottenness of the English system in
Ireland. It is known there was a
sharp struggle at the castle before it
was fi tally decided to bring him for
ward as a witness. The reward ex
pected by the government for this in
famy iu the implication of the land
league leaders, and Carey’s evidence is
carefully directed to that end. The
fact that he is swearing to order stands
out clearly in almost every sentence he
utters. The probable result will boa
far greater injury to the ministry than
to the Parnellites.
A Hideous Tragedy In Michigan.
Chicago, Feb. 22.—The Inter-Ocean’s
East Ta was. Mich., special says: A
rumor comes from a logging camp that
two men got into a dispute over a trial
as to whose team could haul the heavi
est load. After the trial the one whose
team was victorious went into the cabin
and sat down. The defeated one came
up behind and with one blow of an axe
severed his head from the body. The
head rolled to the floor, the eyes winked
several times and the mouth opened.
An alarm was raised. The members of
the camp took the murderer, placed a
log chain around his neck and hung
him. They then placed a guard around
the body to await the arrival of the
sheriff. Men came from a neighboring
camp to take the corpse down. A gen
eral fight ensued and seven men were
killed. No names were obtainable.
