BOSTON MILL SHORT OVER TREASURER $500,000. HIS MTSTXBIOCS DISAPPIARAWCE FROM THAT CITY. Boston, August 17. The managing directors of the Atlantic mill company are .still engaged upon the books of the corporation in relation to the shortage of Wm. Gray, Jr., late treasurer, but at present the exact amount of his de falcation cannot be learned with cer tainty, in an interview this morning with two of the principal directors, who are anxious that their names should be withheld, the , following facts j were learned : : Last Friday a deficiency was discovered by an examiner appointed by the directors, and on Saturday j Gray came to the office and waft confronted with the charge; He after a moment or two confessed the orime, and acknowl edged that he had embezzled funds of the corporation to the extent of between $500,000 and $600,000, but as to 'the use to which he put the money, his only reply was 'building . operations.

Monday morning the yacht came up to the eity and landed Gray and his companions on Central wharf. Gray ordered the captain to get ready to sail again at 2 p. in., at which time Gray stated he would be on board. The captain has not seen Gray since, and the Huron still lies at her anchorage. Ihe police have searched in every direction for Gray, but he be yond doubt has left the eity. Detectives have guarded all approaches to Canada, and the polioe of all the towns and cities in this part of the State have been notified to look out for the defaulter. He may possibly be; traced by his turnout. Gray is 55 years old.

He is assessed for $152,550 real and $15,000 personal property, all of which, it is stated, is heavily mortgaged. i jXaralerod by Travmp. Cincinnati, Aug. 17. Davis, the station agent of the Ohio & Mississippi railroad, at Huron station, Ind., was murdered early this morning by a tramp. TBe man came into the station with a braggadocio air, making considerable noise. Davis was dozing in his chair at the tune. He was disturbed and, on arousing himself, ordered the tramp to get put.: This was resented and some hot words followed. Davis said if he did not go he would put him out. He (Davis) was dared to carry out his threat, and both men prepared for the conflict. Davis took hold of the tramp and endeavored to put him through the open door. The man drew a huge knife and stabbed Davis several times so se verely that he died in a few minutes. Parties living near, who were attracted by the sound of the melee, rushed to the scene and found Davis dying. The murderer was found a short distance from the station and with little ceremony was taken to a neighboring tree and nangea Dy inaignant citizens, mucn excitement exists and the town is filling with people The murderer is still at unidentified. : Parn.ll Situ Buniwa Dubujc, Ireland, August Freeman's Journal says tha nell's summons shows that the 1 : .

Burrows warned the men not to cut the hay, as he would not permit them to finish the work. Fenton.laughed at Burrows and the latter turned and went away. In about an hour Fenton and Ryan, who! had continued at work, were shot! in their, backs, the former through the spine and abdomen. The shooting was done from ambush, with Winchester rifles. The men lived six hours and before dying declared that Burrows and Doo White did the shoot ing. White nasi been . arrested. At last accounts Burrows was at large, though vigilantes were in pursuit It is probable that he will be lynched if they succeed in running him down. A ria-bt Aga4nat Windmills.

CHI- TUX DAXEQATKS BOM IRKLAND A3 WELL AS 1? FROM TUB tSITZP STATES. Chicago, August 17. Delegates to the Irffih national league are arriving in great numbers today and tonight. It is estimated that fully 1,000 are on the mi ground, mere was active caucusing about the hotel lobbies respecting the election of officers, but neither element in the convention laid bare its hand. That t$ere will be a sharp passage on the convention floor appears now to bo assured. An Evening paper says that the rep resentatives from Ireland, who will ar rive thlB evening, are. placed in an ex tremely delicate position. They will be waited upon by the representatives of both reception committees and upon their action in the acceptance of invi tations'1 by either' party will be fore shadowed the success or failure of the Other lit the convention. Mr. 'Davitt is said to be greatly an noyed by the Ogden's grove declarations and has positively declined to interfere in the: disputes, even with a view to their adjustment. It is therefore cer tain that the matter must be fought out on the floor of the convention. The signal'for the onslaught will be the nom ination of Alexander Sullivan for the presidency. It is'understood that this will b done in order to give the latter gentleman an opportunity of refusing it as a vindication of his character, and the opportunity will be utilized for the promised "exposures." John T. Fin erty's;namc is favorably mentioned as president Evans' successor. Others are combatting his nomination, in view of his repent "physical force" utterances. r merty himself says he does not de sire his name to be put forward with re gard to his speech in Ogden's grove. He made the following explanation to day, i "W e have no desire to force the hand of Parncll or to drive the Irish peonlqu into war unprepared. All we aemana is this ana we will be satidded with nothing lets) : That no leader of the Irish people who is supposed to speak for them shall commit himself or them as accepting as a final settlement bills of relief unworthy of the dignity of Ireland's national demands. We are perfectly willing to see them accept such bills as that of Gladstone as a settle ment $n account, but that must not be accepted as closing the transaction. We see not1 wisdom in it. It lowers the tone of the;Irish cause. It lowers the spirits of a true people. To ask them to sub side to a species of mere provincialism is an outrage on their struggle of fifty ycars jitor liDerty. we admit that it may be good policy on the part of Par coll and Davitt to be what is termed moderate in tone, but for us, who rep resent the national idea of the Irish people, it would be worse than folly to conceal our sentiments. We recognize that Ireland is incapable of fighting England . at present. We do not want her to fight England ex cept in BOine manner that will be safe to her. lu whatever risks she may take how or in the future, she will find that we are sincere in our desire to keep her in her struggle for liberty, and I cannot conceive what- the object is of the distinguished Irishmen who differ from Suliivan, Egan and myself in charging us with a desire to force the Irish peopio into unprepared revolt. "I it least have emphasized my desire not torplace the Irish people in any such position, although I have been equally emphatic in condemning that other pol- icy which weakens ever and demoral izes the spirit of the people, uut so lar as to the ohargo of attempting to con demn ; the policy or to force the hand of the Irish leader, 1 have never at any time in my career done so, and I never will- ? "I;willkconclude, howeverby saying this much on one other subject : When ever an Irishman is brave enough and magnanimous enough to take the risk of attacking the enemies of his country and his race, such of us as may not bo able to approve of his action at least re main; Bilent and leave denunciation of hini to those eg&inst whom he has raised his hand." Cotton Futures. Niw York, Aug. 17. Greene & Co.s report on cotton futures saye: Opera tions continued moderate and were con fined principally to the local trades, though there was some selling today on lcal account. Genernlly the feeling appeared to be hesitating and unde cided and the market barren of indica tions' or of a guiding character. The offerings for. the day exceeded the de mand and at 5 points decline; the close was tame. Mr. UIaUtna to Visit Ireland. CpRK, Aug. 10.

The Cklesta; Anareblat Trial. Chicago, August 17. This is the fifteenth day of the anarchist trials, and Capt. Black, the leading counsel for the defense, began the closing plea for the prisoners. As soon as -the jury were seated Capt. Black stated that dyna mite, so far as the origin of its manu facture was concerned, had . no connec tion at all with the doctrines of social ism, and then laid down this to be a rule of law the jury shouM follow in their deliberations: "When a man is charged -, or sought to be charged with a crime, as in this case, the "people must show who thre the bomb-who did the -deed and must show that these defendants were conneoted directly with the guilty man." He then proceeded to tell the jury that the State mistook their func tions altogether. The speaker said that the counsel for the State were wrong when one of them advised the jury that upon them it depended to maintain the law and government, because these defendants plotted , against the State. They were revolutionists, it was said, but that was not true. There could be no revolution exoept when the heart of the people rose to redress some great wrong. Continuing, the oounsel gave a scien tific account of dynamite and experiments with it as an agency of modern warfare. He declared that dynamite was in tho world to stay and that these defendants were in no wise responsible for it. But the Haymarket bomb was thrown on the night of May 4 and mur der resulted from it. Who was respon sible? The man who threw tie bomb; no one else. He argued that these de fendants could not be convicted as ac cessories before the fact. He Baid that the State had all through this case at tempted to secure conviction by ap pealing to the jury's prejudice and pas sion and absurdly declaring that the purity of our institutions depended on the punishment of these men.

There he found about fifty school children and learned that the bride and groom were of the number William Thornton, aged fourteen, and Mattie Smith, aged fif teen. Thornton on his first visit to the girl asked her to be his wife. On his second visit he consulted the mother, and on his third visit gained the consent of the father. His own father, however, was violently opposed to the nuptials. Thornton had forgotten to get his li cense and confessed that he did not have the money to pay for it, whereupon the school children present took up a col lection for the necessary paper, when Mr. Roberts duly pronounced the couple husband and wife. jllaary Wind and Bala Storm.

The Novoe Vremya, at the end of an article on the cultivation of cotton in Russia, expresses the opinion that its successful expansion in central Asia would enable Russian manufacturers to flood the markets of Asia and render English ; competition impossible. For this desirable result, it says, only the energetic co-operation of those interest ed and a certain amount ofe protection on the part of the government are ne cessary. : i A DuU Time.

As Gathered by the San Francisco Argonaut, At the famous shooting gallery in the avenue d'Antin, Paris, a customer who came every day had attained to such, a degree of skill as no longer to miss anything. Among the spectators of his irowess was a man who was exceeding y annoying. At each doll or pipe brought down he repeated, in a calm voice: "He oould not thoot so well in a duel." The skillful one got angry at last, and, turning round, said : "Will you try ?" "With pleasure," replied the other. They went out. Tho skill ful one fired .first, and missed his ad versary. "I told you you would not do so well," politely remarked tho other; whereupon he went away without dis charging his pistol, and huirming a tune. There have been many humorous preachers. One of this class wasTather Andre, a Roman Catholic preacher, who -often used his humor to satirize the faults of hia brethren. Preaching onco in a monastery which had been struck by lightning, he expatiated on tho goodness of God, who took special caro of His children. Said he: "Consider, among. other evidences, what has hap pened to this holy house in which I am f reaching. The lightning struck the ibrary and consumed it, but injured not a single monk. If, however, it had unfortunately fallen on the dining-room or larder, how many brethren would have been killed ?" ( During a thunderstorm at Lake Min netonka, a few days ago, the lightning struck a tree, shivering it to splinters.
