Laborers Are Compelled to Leave His Employ. DUBLIN, May 9. (Special.) Walter Joyce, of Corgary House, "Castleblakeney, County Galway, has drawn up a state ment of his experiences for the past five months, during which he has been sub jected to the most rigorous boycott. Ha is owner in fee of 1SU7 acres, 1234 of which he farms himself; the remainder Is held by his 34 tenants and to others under adjustment contracts. The flrst intima tion he got of the coming storm was on October 29, last, when he was requested to meet the tenants with the treasurer, deputy vice-president and assistant sec retary of the league, and discuss the pur chase by the tenants of their holdings. Me refused to meet any but the tenants. On November 12 he was handed tha tenant's offer of purchase, which included 174 years purchase at present rents, pos session of the grazing lands at Griffiths, valuations pending sale, turbary and sporting rights, an abatement of $1.75 on November rents, and all arrears to be wiped out. He appointed November 12 to collect his rents. The tenants arrived in a body and refused to pay without abate ment of $1-50 in the pound. Mr. Joyce goes on: Five Employes Quit. "On November IS, 1907, five men left my employment, announcing their inten tion to do so about 10 P. M. the previous evening on my return from Ennistymon Fair. My coachman and general maid servant did not then leave, but the former did on November 30. 1 was then left with out a single man to do anything on a farm of about 1200 acres. To make it all the harder and more Impossible for me to struggle on, every effort was made to frighten away tile maid servant as well, but happily without success. My duties thus became numerous and heavy in the short days of November, but I struggled on." Ho next relates how he had to cart his own coal from Woodlawn station, seven miles away, once a month. On one occasion his animal was overladen, and when he appealed to a man who was passing, to help him to relieve the animal he refused. Further on he says: All Fear the Boycott. "I have to get my supplies by post and from a distance. I could not get any thing locally, and even the blacksmith, who was doing my work for about 20 years, had to refuse to shoe my horses through fear of being boycotted himself, as he was so threatened if he continued it. I then got permission from Lord Ashdown to get my horses stiod at his forge, which was a fortunate deliverance from this dilemma. '"I have a written contract with a local rabbit catcher to take my rabbits for the season 1907 and 190$, but he declined to carry it out, writing that he was in formed by someone he did not know that It would be safe for him to do so. The mother of my maid-servant, the only one of my employes that remained in my service, is also rigidly boycotted and subjected to all sorts of annoyance. For a time she was able to procure neces saries at a local market town, but eventu ally got a letter from the shopkeeper who supplied her saying he hoped she wouldn't ask him to do so again. I nm now supp'ying her with any necessaries she requires." Attack Police Escort. After relating how he is shouted at when passing through his farm, and how his servant man and his police escort were attacked on Sunday, March 1 last, and again on Friday, March 6, Mr. Joyce concludes thus: "A third attack was made outside the chapel gate after tirst mass at Men lough on Sunday, March 8, and again on the road at Raheens on Sunday a week later. Forty police were drawn up out side the chapel gate after flrst mass at Menlough to protect me and my man after coming out from divine service. Tho attitude of the crowd was most hostile. They shouted, groaned, and followed us on, and were it not for the strons force of police, I believe we would have been seriously assaulted. "On March 17 about a similar police force were drawn up outside the chapel gate, but on this occasion the crowd col lected at the chapel door and groaned at us immediately on leaving the church, and we were accompanied as far as my gate by a strong force of police in charge of two district Inspectors. Slake Liife Miserable. "Bands are constantly parading the road close to my house, vigorously beat ing the drum, shouting and yelling, and sometimes going as far as my gate and passing back and returning again. My man and I are under constant police pro tection. The great object is to make it impossible for any one to remain in my employment, so that I must do everything myself; to make life miserable, that I may be forced into surrender to the de mands of the mob. The latest move on the part of some of my tenants is to drive their stock into one of my farms when I am away on another part of the place, so that it takes me a long time to collect and deliver them up to the owners." SERUM FOR PNEUMONIA Belgian Physician Satisfied of Suc cess of His Experiments. BRUSSELS. May 2. Dr. Bertrand. of Antwerp, claims to have discovered a serum which will cure pneumonia, and has delivered a lecture on the subject to the Medical Society of Antwerp. "I first satisfied myself of the efficacy of my serum," he says, "by ex perimenting on animals. Then trials were made this Winter in the St. Eliza beth and Stuyvenburg Hospitals in Antwerp. Several of the patients had pneumonia in an advanced stage and were also habitual drunkards."
