The start for Phila- delphia was made at 6p. m., the cars again being in two sections.

SS The Growth of the Irish Repub- lican Brotherhood. A Secret Society for the Distribution of Arms and Ammunition, ———.— -. <-———-—— Something About Michael Davitt and His Reason for Leaving Ireland. Special to the Post-Dispatch. NEW YORK, August 12.—A letter from Cork, Ireland, gives the story of the growth and reorganization of the Irish Republican Brotherhood. A Munster man, who believes in the application of pbysical force for the separation of Ireland from England, says the I. R. B. bas been considerably weakened by the land agitation ard the necessary expul- sion ofsome. The land movement, sgys this Munster man, is purely a selfish agitation, ay pealing not to the patriotism of the people, but to their pockets. THE LAND AGITATORS teach the people the fallaclous idea that the Jand is theirs, that they may have it for noth- ing, and that the landlords are their natural enemies. We teach them that liberty and independence is theirs, and that some of the landlords mav be won to our side and become our most valuable friends. | Parne)] gathered about him a number of our leaders whose love for notoriety ana political distinction is creater than their love of coun- try, and whose vanity he flattered by prom- ises of political advancement, until they con- sented to the use of our. disci- plined organization for political pur- poses. Our rank and file were degraded and disgraced by being induced to parade around the country with imitation pikes and wooden guns. Parnell himself coq vetted with the Fenian cause. By de- grees he gained more or . tless_ in- timate knowledge of its men and affairs, and though publicly discountenancing a revolutionary movement, knowingly used the revolutionary organization not only for his agitation but for electoral pur- poses. It is time the mask was stripped from his face. Our organization in Connaught has been demoralized and al- most destroyed; though before agitation that province wasastronghold of National- ism. We have had to drop several men. MICHAEL DAVITT, representative forthe North of England in the Supreme Council, was expelled from the Counéil on the eve of his departure for America. Heis still a member, but in the ranks. Some members believe he went to America so suddenly because of his fear | of facing the meeting ancl his inability to satisfactorily meet the charges madeagainst him. Ireland has 56,000 payiny members of the Irish Republican Brother- hocd, and England and Scotland 11,50 Of the numberin Ireland fully 12,000 are armed with Snider rifles purchased or stolen in kpglasd, or bought in America with Amer- ican, Englishand Australian contributions. Arms agents have in Dublin, Belfast, Cork and other large towns stores of arms awaiting purchase by the circles. They are brought into the country constantly in such quantities asthey are needed. The Saider rifle and bayonet are supplied to men in Ireland at one pound a piece, the extra cost being defrayed by the fund of the brother- hood. THE FUND is about £20,000 in the three countries, the division of the North of England being the ricbest. The menin England are ail armed with revolvers. It is not necessary to arm them with guns _ yet, as thev can be got easily if wanted. In Ireland it is different, and urms must be obtained secretly, of course. The number named above as that of those under arms in Ireland does not rep- resent all, as Many are privately armed with weapons not received through the orzaniza- tion. -—— -—— The Tennessee Democratic Convention. Special to the Post-Dispatch. ° NASHVILLE, TENN., August 12.—The regu- lar State Democratic Gubernatorial Conven- ticn reassembled at ten o’clock this morning, and immediately proceeded to take a second ballot, which resuited in Campbell receiving 348, Wright 269, Byrd, 282 2-5;Guild, 150 3-10, Marks 1282-3.

Mr. Smith was arrested on this charge, the prosecuting witnesses swear- ing thatthe road was blocked for nearly half anbour. Among otber vehicles obstructed was the lnited States mail wagon. 232: An interesting decision was rendered bv ’Squire Bunyan this morning. Some time ago Constable Kelly, acting in favor of H. D. O’Brien, of the Gazette, demanded a sched- ule from Mr. ‘Conrad Mublfeld, the barber under'tbe Green Tree Hotel. Mr. Mublfeld refused and on August 5th Constable Kelly levied on a barber chair and stoo!, he believ- ing that nothing was exempt from attachment. Mr. Mublfeld repievined the property and the case came up before ’Squire Bunyan, Mr. Davis eae Constable Kelly’s side of the question. It was deciaed that as the con- stable was not furnished a schedule in the proper time he was right to levy on the prop- erty and it must be returned for sale. Mr. Muhlfeld has appealed the case. About 8:50 this morning, while the South- eastern train was stopping atthe Relay De- pot receiving passengers and baggage and ex- press from an express truck, a freight train was thrown in between the depot and the train, striking the truck, which was totally demolished.

Thereis consid- erable complaint about the yardmen running in trains While passengers are boarding and leaving trains.

The cars must be put out of the way, and they must do the work, whether it results in anything or not. Second District Polic& Court.
