WITHOUT INTEREST. Special Cable. A Loxpox. Mareh 26.—Lrish affaixs have ‘been without interest during the week. Ex- cepting Mr. Dillon’s anticipated arrest, ex- pectation is concentrated on the introduc- tion of the Land bill, which Mr. Gladstone Bow promises for the 7th of Avril. The Liberals, though cheering Mr. Gladstone’s announcepient, consider that a statement of its provisions before Easter isa mistake, giving the opposition in both the Irish :xpd Conservative ranks a fortnight to orzanize resistance. Jir. Gladstone yielded hils own objections under Radical pressure. though this obliges him to deliver in the same week the two most important speeches of the ses- slon. i EDWIN BOOTH. Special Cable: 3 LoxDox, Mareh 36.—The Saturday Review says of Booth to-day: « Booth’s enghgement at the Princess Theatre comes to an end to- night. Wa have recorded the opinion, formed from studying all his performances during his engragements, that he is an actor of the ~very highest rank. To us his poctical and powertul Othello seemed to rank with the best of . his. performances. Mr. Booth’s friends will be sorry to learn that Alrs. Bonti’s conditlon is considered quite hope- less. Her death is hourly expected.” ANOTHER ACCOUNT. Booth closed to-mzht his engagement at tho Princess Theatre. ~ The engagenent, as a whole, notwithstandine the incompetency of tha management and the scandalously adequate support, proved a brilliant success, both dramatically and financially. ~ Mr. Booth firmly established bis position with the London public against much opposition. The ‘Saturday Revicw sums up from a study of all his performances that Jr. Booth is an actor of the very highest rdnk. His latest impersonation—Shylock—is less zenerally liked, the English preferring Mr. Trving’s view of the character. Mr. Booth’s next appearance will be at the Lyceum, in Mr.. [Irving’s company, next month. Every seat-for the first two evenings was long since sold, amateurs vainly offering un- heard-of prices. Jirs. Bootl’s health shows a slight improvement. 73 LOFAE CANDAHAR RESOLTUTION. Socclal Cable LoKpox, March 2%.—The Ministerial ma- jority on the Candahar resolution was rather Jarger than the Liberal ** whips” expected. and largely exceeds the Conservative calcu- Jations. When Alr. Stanhope proposed his motion he counted on numerous: Lib- eral defections. ‘The result is that only four Liberals abandoned the Governmet, of whow fr. Cowen, of Newcastleon-Tyne, and Sir Edsward Watkin, are Liberals in name only. The other two are unimportant. Many ‘Home-Rulers supported the Government. The debate showed a striking preponderance of debating power on the Liberal side. Sir Charles Dilke’sspeech was lucid, convincing, and excellently deliveréd. 1t has much im- proved his Parliamentary position. is an- nouncement of = . GEYN, SEOBELEFF'S RECALL FROM ASIA destroyed an important part of the Tory case, and threw the whole Tory line into"confu- sion. Lord Hartington made an equally good impression. Mr. Herbert Gladstone’s maiden speech delighted the House. 1t was modest’ and sensible, and in some poiuts brilliant. The obinion of the country ‘is unquestiona- bly with the Government by a vast majority. THE PRINCE OF WALES. The alarm ‘respecting the visit of the Prince and Princess of Wales to St. Peters- burg_ still continies, though little public mention -is Tmade of it.- It is known that Warnings covellfig expligiv_information from the St. Petesburg police werd, received be- fora and since their departure. Gen. Melikoff declines to answer for their safety, though he gives assurance that every pre- caution will be taken. THE BOERS’ DEMAND. * The eorrespondents of the London papers in the Transvaal have missed one very im- portant feature in the negotiations between Sir Evelyn Wood and Joubert—viz.: the de- mand of the Boers for some Kind of compensation for the loss and injury inflicted upon themm during the war. ‘The Boer leaders claim, and the Brit- ish Government by its course on this ques- tion practically admits their. claim, that the war was forced upon them by Sir Theouhilyg ShepstoneAind his understrappers, and- it s difficuit o sec how under the-circumstan; . Mr-Gladstone can refuse.-to entertain-their @fmand. B . THE FEELING.OF HUMILIATION over the inglorious result of the struggle has been aggravated by the news of this claim for indemnity, and Lord Cairns will be able to muke out a pretty strong argumént for his motion of a want of confidence, for that is what his resolution on the war - will really amount to. In London, where the worship of “Jingoism " first took root, and where it is not yet wholly extinct, the peace is denounced as -a complete surren- dey of - Englana’s bold upon South Atrie, - In e country, where thy look at these ' things more frow the pounds, shillings, and pence point of view, the policy of the Governwent is pretty generally sustained. But the ques- tion is asked, and X1, Gladstone’sfriends are THE CHICAGO TRIB E: SUNDAY, TWENTY PAGES. umuahle to answer it, if the Premier intended GIVE UP THE TRANSVAAL, why did he not do it directly he came into office and thus save Sir George Colley’s life and thie huwiliation and slaughter of Majuba 1ill? The Radicals, however, appear to be satisfled with anything the Premier does, provided it runs counter to the policy of ‘ Lord Beaconsfield. Not the Torles only, but experienced and im- partial judges believe that the Boer business will involve-the compuisory retirement of Eagland from the whole of South Africa be- fore very long. The fact is that until the momentous question of land reform and the extension of the franchise in counties are settled, the masses will never take more than a listless interest in foreign or Colonial af- fairs. . THE LAND LEAGUE HAS SPENT ITSELF in Ireland, but similar orginizauons: are springing up among the small tenants and agricultural laborers all over England. ‘There is no taint of Communism in the movement, but this vast class, hav- ing spent some centuries in discussing their lot by the beer-shop fire, have at length resolved to make a determined effort to improve it. Joseoh Arch, who organized the Agricultural Laborers’ Unions four or five years ago, is the Spartacus of the movement, which is backed not only by the borough Radicals but to some extent by Nau-conformists, who expect to see the abolition of primogeniture and entail followed by the divorce of Church from State. Meanwhile the Radieal Jeaders never lose an opportunity of remind- ing Mr. Gladstone that the assimilation of the borough and county franchise was one of the “planks * on which he was returned to power. ‘They say they will bo content with that for the present, and will put off their de- mand for universal suffrage until the land :question is disposed of. A g ! * TRADE 3 gencrally continues to_be very dull, and the long promised revival is apparently as far off as ever. American competition presses with increasing severity upon the manufacturers, and Belgium, which also believes 1n Chinese walls, Is taking a great deal of trade from Sheflicld and Birmingham. The farmers are sore beset. Mr. Chaplin’s motion to probibit the importation of American live cattle was thrown out, and. with the agricultural la- borers pressing them from below, and Amer- icay competition meeting them on every hand, it is no exaggeration to say that they are growing desperate. To make matters worse, they have just had A MOST UNFAVORABLE SEED-TDME, the weather being cold and broken, and the earth clammy and unkind from the recent frostand snow. Another bad harvest would ruin thousands of farmers who are now keeping the roof over their heads by borrowing money on the strength of the chance of having - good crops, All over the country people are beginning to question the sounduess of freo trade., or rather of that one-sided and jug-handled free trade ander which you admit free the zoods of nations which refuse to let you trade with them on equal terms. ¢ TOE DISCOURAGING ACCOUNTS . unifornly received from New York have de- pressed the prices of all American securi- ties, although a sort of speculative mania prevails here, the formation of new compa- nies being . announced every day. The de- mand for American railroad shares and bonds has completely ceased. New York Central, and, in fact all the American railroads, have experienced & severe dechne. The public resisted Wall street influence for some time, but could hold out no longer, and everything except first-rate banks will be thrown overboard in the absence of improvement on your side- There has not been for many years so large an amount of floating capital ready for in- vestment, hence the many bubble companies now before the public. ‘The young gentleman who now bears the name of Mr. 3 ! ASHMEAD-BURDETT-COUTTS has determined to take to polities, the Buroness being an intense adwmirer ‘of Lord Beaconsfield. He will be bronght out under the patronage of the Carlton Clib, 2nd he has made up his mind to contest the second seat for Northampton with Mr. Charles Bradlaugh on the High Tory ticket. This will be gond news for the Northampton lads, who relish nothing bet- ter than plucking a rich Tory candidate. IT 1S BELIEVH THAT THE GOVERNMENT has come to an understanding with the Par- nellite party,who,bn their part, have, I under- stand, given up further intentions of assist- ing the Conservatives in contested electious. The overtures of peace were made, 1 believe, from the Treasury benches. At the meeting which was held yesterday at the Westminster Hotel Mr. Par- nell said that the purpose of the new organi- zation which he provosed to create was to educate the opinion of the English working-classes on all Irish questions. Mr. Parnell and others of the Irish members have made arrangements to address a number of meetings in the great Engzlish towns during the Easter recesson Ar. Gladstone’s Land bill, and on the neces- sity of modifying the existing Parliamentary relations between England and Ireland. Dur- ing the same recess A SERIES OF PUBLIC MEETINGS will be held in Ireland, atwhich as many members of Parliament as can be spared from England will attend. More impor- tance, however, is attached by the Parnell- ites to the English neetings, as the pressure derived from them will strengihen the hands of - the Government in forcing a better Land bill through the Iouse of Lords than’:the most unanimous expression of Irish opinion could exact. ) 'k IT 15 RUMORED on good Withority that the Government Land bill will not offer the Lrish tenants fixity of tenure, though it will afford increased sta- bility of tenurgland that it contains the clauses dm)m‘bx_: the lines of last year's Disturbancd - bill, Increasing the fine payuble by “landlords who are adjudged guilty by thélcourts of arbitrary eviction. Courts of Arbitration will be es- tablished, with power to decide what is tair rent when disputes arise between landlord and temant. The right of free sale will be given to tenants, sub- ject to the reasonable objeution of the landlord to the incoming tenants. Landlords, however, will be obliged to prove to the sat- isfaction of the Court that their objections to the incoming tenant- are reasonable. Valid facilities will be given to tenants to become purchasers of their holdings under the ex- tensions of the Bright clauses of the Land act of 1870. Provision will be made for THE COMPULSORY SALE OF LARGE TRACTS of waste-lang, which will be divided into small.firms and sold on favorable terms to tegants. Though this programwill not per- haps satisfy the move advanced advocates of * the jand for the veople,” it will, if carried outin its entirety, produce a great revoln- uon in the condition of the Irish farming classes. Landlords will be DEPRIVED OF ARBITRARY POWERS, , nnq tenants will obtain legal security for their interest in whatever improvements they may make on their farms. Under the that the conflict between the landlord and tenant classes will rapidly subside, and. Ire- land will enter onanew eraof prosperity and peace. J THE LABOUCHERE-LAWSON CASE has attracted considerable interest during _the weck, though most people are rather wearled of the public washing of these gen- tlemen’s soiled linen. The facts of the trial are doubtless fawiliar. Everybody had for- gotten §he affair of year ago, hoped it was buried. But it seems that Mr. Lawsonis determined to push the sordid motives.” As Mr. operations of this proposed law it is probable _{ and. case to the bitter end, as Truth continued its attacks during the pastaycar. The court was crowded every day, were present. If the contestants _could charge admittance, like lofig-dis- tauce walkers, they would by this time have made a fortune. Mr. Lawson was defended by an army ot wigged heads. Ar. Labouchere conducted his own case with marked ability, cross-examining, raising points of law, and opening the caso with the readiness and self-possession of the most experienced practitioner. He seldomn gets worsted. He takes blows with thesame equanimity with which he delivers tirem. He twice bowled over the Lord Chief Jus- tice yesterday in the matter of classical quotations. Heis MERCILESS IN HIS ATTACKS UPON HI8 OP- PONENTS inthe witnessbox. He made little impres- sion on Mr. Lawson, who was perfectly cool and deliberate in his replies, and gave every response in a toue of sublimated hatred and contempt. Insult was answered with insult, in tones that might have conveyed the blandest compliments. Mr. Labouchere going too far onone occa- sion, the. opposing counsel protested. £1 have no desire to insult Mr. Lawson,” sald Mr. Labouchere, whereupon Lord Coleridze said: *Then you have succeeded in doinz what you did not intend.” At this there was much laughter. Mr Dafson was examined about his religious belief, his politics, his baby-farming adver- tisements, about Mr. Gladstone, about the circulation and profits of the Telegraph, about Eastern geography, editorial manage- ment, and a dozen other matters. | MR. DAWSON SCORED on one oceasion when he described an in- terview with Mr. Gladstone Tespecting the Negroponte correspondence, in which the Telegraph accused Mr. Gladstone of inciting the Greeks to -war. -Mr. Lawsop . sai “As I was saylng remarked ‘that . there ~were persons base enough (I was thinking of you at the tine), to attribute the course I was taking to Lawson said, “I was thinking of you,” he waved the glove which he carried in his hand at Mr. Labouchere. It was ellcited during the examination that the Telegraph’s circulation was 220,000 Its advertising pro duces £500 or £600 dauly. Its snles are over £500. Its paper wills, besides what they save to the proprietors, make & profit of £10,000 yearly. Regarding Mr. Lawson’s assault on Mr. Labouchere and THE SUBSEQUENTLY-DECLINED DUEL, Mr. Labouchere made the witvess. wince with his imputations of cowardice in refer- ence to the *women relatives who advised hiin not to fight.” But Mr. Labouchers fully met bis match in. Mr. Phillips, who is Mr. Lawson’s brother-in-law. This gentleman deseribed Mr. Labouchere’s appearance after the assault In front of the Club. Mr. Phillips said: *1le looked as if he had been dining out and drinking. too much,oras if he had had his face slapped and had been rubbed agalnst dusty places.” Mr, Moutagu Williams, a well-known Old Bailey lawyer and club-nan, 2150 proved him- self NR. LABOUCHERE'S EQUAL when he said: ** The reason Mr. Lawson did | not fight was because Mr. Arnold had said that Mr. Labouchere was too great a black- guard for Mr. Lawson to meet.”’ Then Mr. Labouchere asked: *Did you agree with Mr. Arnald ?” “No,” smd Mr. Willlams. ** I would have shot you with great pleasure.” T The same witness testified that he went to Alr. Labouchere and said to him: *“Why can’t you leave the Levys alone? You know Lawson well. You are making his life o misery to him.” AIr. Labouchere sald: *“1 will never leave them, nnd when Ido God Almighty will call me up and thauk me for what I have done.” ¢ Ar. Edwin Arnold, editor of the Telegravh, and author of the ** Light of Asia,”” was THE NEXT WITNESS. Mr. Labouchere spoke of him as “a newsmonger fanatic,”” while the Chief- Justice himself did his best to make thinzs pleasant for the witness by injecting remarks into the testimony, such as ** I have not read a line of the Telegraph for twenty years, I don’t believe its articles have any Influence.” At this Mr. Arnold merely shook his bead, and smiles passed over his scholarly face. Try as he would, Mr. Labouchere could not put the *Light of Asia” eut. On the contrary, he was himseif scorched, +when he asked why Mr. Arnold had advised Mr. Lawson not to fight. MMr. Arnold re- plied that *1t was altogether out of the question that Mr. Lawson should pit a life like his, with interests like his, against alife like yours.” ‘Then followed MR. LABOUCHERE’S BRILLIANT OPENING, and after that hus witnesses were called. Most of them swore that Mr. Labouchere showed no marks of Mr. Lawson’s thrashing on the night of the assaultor on the day after. Mr. Gladstone and Mr. Edmund Yates were witnesses yesterday. Ithad been inferred from Mr. Lawson’s testimony that he and Mr. Gladstone were intimate friends, and had almost wept at. their ditference of views on the Eastern question. Mr. Gladstone showed, however, that this way of looking at their acquaintance was . ENTIRELY CONFINED TO MR. LAWSON. He said that the last he saw uf Mr. Lawson the latter asked him for some tickets to an address which he was about to deliver at Eton. This caused considerable laughter. Toward the erd of the week every exertion was made to end the case last night, but it found impossible to finish it until after Monday. FLAX-MILL CLOSED. To the Western Astoclated Press.

The representatives of the press who attended to report Gambetta’s speech bad, by the express order of the orgaiizers of the banquet, been rudely relegated to & dark room on the first floor, where it was almost impossible to_see or hear. A num- ber of them protested, and endeavored to force their way into tho banqueting hall. ‘The consequenco was a disgraceful scuffle, in which several of the bpnqueters and Jour- nalists were very roughly handled. Some time elapsed before order was restored and speechmaking could be resumed. THE FIRE AT NICE. To the Western Asseclated Press. PARIS, March 26.—It Is reported that there wero only 220 persons: n the Nice Opera- House at the time of the fire. DAVID RESNEDY, the well-known Scotch vocalist, is said to have lost a son and two daughters by the fire in the Opera-louse at Nice. They were studying music at Nfce under Siznor Lam- perte, and frequented the Opera-House. A VERY INCONPLETE LIST of persons who perished at the Nice fire has been published. Among the names are those of the German savant, Dr. Arendt Schelling, and Mme. McQuay, the latter said to be En- glish. NICE IS IN HOURSING. The papers appdar with black borders. The whole population of the town turned out yes- terday to attend the funeral of the victiws. The spectacle was solemn and affecting in the extreme.

A tepty to Archbishop McCabe's recent pastoral, attacking the Ladies’ Land League, appeared in the Dublin Freeman’s Journal March 17 from Mr. A. M. Sullivan. Mr Sullivan says he hopes thaton calm reflec- tion Archbishop McCabewill own and regret the wrong he has done. The pure, devoted Catholle ladies who belong to the Ladies’ Land Leagug have brothers, fathers, and husbands who cannotallow such imputations to pass unnoticed. 1tis terribly dangerous for any man, especially a prelate of the Chureh, to impute motives and to assume to ‘read the inner hearts of others. ** Thou shalt Tiot bear false ‘<vitness against thy nelghbor.” Mr." ‘Suilivan puts "It to the Archbishop as a matter of conscience, it he is justified in publicly jnsulting some of the most exemplary and devoted children of the Church, who are known to thelr pastors as models of every virtue which exalts and adorns Christian women. If everything should be left to the ordinary holy associations of men and women [such as the various sodalities and religious con- fraternitics), what about the Ladies’ League which was started sixteen months ago by the Duchess of Marlboro’ and which had | in it many ladies known to enjoy his Grace’s high friendship and favor? Did he de- nounce them in a pastoral letter? In plain language, his Grace does not like the Land League nor Parnell. This is the whole story. A ‘The following letter was sent to Mr. Sulli- van indorsing his action. There can be no mistaking its meaning: CasHEL, March, 1831,—DEAR MR. SULLIVA 1 congratulate you very beartily on your timely and, under the peouliarly provoking circum- stances, very temperate, and withl touching letter, that appears over your name in this day's Frecman. £ I adopt. unreservedly, the sentiments you have so admirably expressed, and am delighted to find that some one of mark hasat last stepped forward frowm the ranks of the laity to vindicate the cbaracter of the good Irish ladies who bave become Land Leaguers, and to challenge pub- licly the monstrous imputations cast upon them by tho Arcbbishop of Dublin. His Grace will not be allowed in future,I apprebend, to use his lance so freely as he has bitherto done, or to ventilate unquestioned the peculiar political theories which he is known to hold In opposition to the cherished cunvictlons of agreat, and indeed overwhelming, majority of the Irish priests and peoplo. It is a satistaotion. however, to fecl that his Grace's politieal likings and dislikings, though possibly of some consequence olsewbere, carry with-them very lttle weleht or significance, ex- cept with n select fow, in Ircland. Your very faithful servant, +T. W. CROKE, s Archbishop of Cashel. RUSSIA. RELATIONS WITH THE GREAT POWERS. Paris, March 26.—An article on Alexander IIL, written by a Russian of high position, says the, new Czar will- strive to maintain goud relations with Germany, towards whom his attitude will be sensibly the same as was that of his father. - France will enjoy more markedsympathy. Therelations with Austria have the appearance of distrust. Inanycase a triple alliance will not he seen again. The relations with England will be more cordlal, probably on account of the Czar’s warm {riendship for the Prince of Wales. IMPORTATION OF DYNAMITE. VIENNA, March 26.—The Presse says the Austrian. police recently informed the Rus- sian’ Government that a considerable quan- tity of d¥namite had been landed at Fiurne, to be forwarded to Russia. The Russian au- thorities requested: the Austrians to allow the dynamite to proceed as far as the front- fer. There it was received by persons inthe uniform of the Rugsian police. Subsequently another body of officials came to sequestrate the dynawite. It was then, discovered that the first comers were disguised Nihilists, who succeeded in smuggling the dynamite into the interior. * i THE. CHURCI.

LoNDOX, March: 26.—A Rome , dispatch says the Pope recently ordered the Cardinal- Vicar- to’ institute’ strict, inquiry into the *sacrilegious traffic in spurious. relics. The Cardinal-Vicar accordingly addressed a eir- cular to the Catholic administrators through- out the world, intimating that no bodies have been taken from,the catacombs for thirty years, and warning them against impdstors. Entire osteological specimens, purporting to be the remains of early Christian martyrs freshly dug from the catacombs in Rome, have been shioped to America. One was taken to St. Paul, Minn., in March, 1850, and sepulchred with church honors.

Va., March 26.—One of the most destruczive fires that has occurred in this clty for years was witdessed this morning by the burning of the furniture factory of G. Mendel & Co., located on Eoff street, adjoining the coun- tyjail.

Mendels' loss on stock will bo from $8,000 to $10,000, upon which thoy have an insurance of 84,00 in the Home and Columbus companies. The origin of the fire is undoubtedly incendiary, as no fire was used in that portion of the building waere it was dis- covered. The fire of this morning was the fourth attempt, und the second successful ono In the same quarter during the lust tifteen or twenty years. ‘A fire broke out this morning at 12:%5 in the centre portion of the city, destroying 1wo resi- dences vatued at $3,000: insurance unknown.

A meeting of members of the Chicago Bar was held yesterday morning at 11 o'clock in the rooms of the Chicago Law Institute, totake aotion on the decease of the late Jobn A. Hun- ter, who died in New MexIco about ten day$ago. On motion of Mr.J. Lyle King Judge Booth was elected Coalrmsn. and on motion of Mr. TTuthill Mr. Frank Colller was chosen asSec- retary. . Judge Booth, on tuking the chair, said be had xnown the deccased as a member of the same firm, as a Professor in the law school, and after- ward on the Bench,and thus had full oppor- tunity to observe the ability, learning, and zeal with which Mr. Hunter conducted the trial of any cases in which he was engaged, and could bear testjmony to the mantinessuf bis ch acter; he was a true man and a true friend. Col. Ricuby moved that a committee of five be appointed by the Cbalr 1o draft resolutions ex- préssive of the sentiments of the Bar on the deceased. The Chairman appointed Messrs. Ricaby, Pare, Boyeson, Tuthill, Hervey. Buel, 2ud Adair as such Committee, und they presented the follows ing: WrEREAS, We have learned with the deepest sorruw of the death of u_distinguisbed member. of this Bar, our brbther,Johu A. Huater; there- fore, t ‘Resoived. That in the death ot Mr. Hunter the Rar of 1llfuois bas losvone of jts most brilliant members, the City of Cnicagooneof its most promising citizens, and soclety an estimable member. 'Reso.ved, That, deeply lamenting the demise of vur brother, we tender our sincero condolence 1o his brother and sister, Who now mourn his early departure. Teesoived, That a copy of thesc resolutions be forwarded to the brother and sister of the do- censed, and that & copy hereof be presented to the United States Court for this_district, to the Circult, Superior, Counts, and Probate Courts of this county, to the Appellate Court of this district, and to the Superior Court of this State. Col. Ricaby moved that the reseludons be adopted. and paid an unusually warm tribute to Mr, Hunter's memary. Hemarks were also made by I. K. Bovesenm, Judge Barnum, C. F. Remick, G. R. Grant, J. L. Jayne, C. E. Kramer, C. L. Easton, and J. D. Aduir. There was a very pleasunt variety inthe Ccharacter of the tribute paid to the dead lawyer, & spontaniety and an absence of the stereotyped Sulogy which so often marks such effurts. Mr. Hunter was & man almost ideally perfect in his ghyscul frame, with an open gencrosity and onhommie which attracted friends wherever he lived, and his loss will be felt with greater keenness than that of many a ane who could boust of fur greater learning or civic bonors. Mr. Adair then remnurked that he understood that the remains would be here in the afternoon on their way to bis sister's residence at Toronto, and he moved that a committec of thirty be ap- pointed to meet the train on its arrival, und also Rerve 0s an escort when they left to-day for Cunuda. "The Chair therenpon appointed a committee of thirty lawyers, smong_which were manyv rou:]lncnt names among (e members of the ar here. ¢ Oy motlon, the following gentlemen were ap- polnted to present tha resolutions to the various Courts; To the Federal Uourts, E.A.Storrs; Apperlate Court, R. W. Ricaby: Suoerlor Court, Robert Hervey: Circuit Court, W. R. Page: Counzg Court, I. K. Boyesen, and Probate Lourt, R. B. Bucon. . .| \The meeting then adjourned. A HEROIC DEATH. Two Brothers, Rallroad Workers, Sace rifice Thelr Lives to Save Those of Otners. _ PITTSBURG, Pa., March 26 —Two workmen on the Baltimore & Obio Road Thursduy guve a wonderful evidence of Laeir fidelity, deliberately choosing death to themselves in order to protect the lives of a hundred others who werein the care of the Company. About half-past2o’clockThurs- day afternoon, John Sullivan and his brothor, Michael, were at work on the truck near Demun- ler Station. John Sullivan was tae section-boss of the subdivision between McKeesport and Port Perry, and he had made a tour uloni the trackto sec it everything was in proper condidon. He Totnd a rail that was not quite straight; o he and his brother took a henvy trackman's crowbar and lifted the rail up to strughten it. While they were busy at work the aftornoon accom- modation train bound east with a heavy load of gnl!em:er! catne along. ‘There was a curve just elow tho place where the men were working, and they did not see the traio until It was almost upon them. They touk in the situation at a glance. The rail which they had been flxan ‘as lifted up and the huge crowbar was wedge tightly in such & posiuon that the truin would certainly be thrown from the truck unless the bar were romoved. On one gide of the track was 2 hill and on_the other u stcep bank run- aing down to the river, soif thetrain wasthrown - from the track while under a full headway of steam there would undoubtealy be un ‘ap- palling logs of fife. The men seized the bar and o frintically to pull and twist it about. The engincer of the tratn suw them, but could not stop. He says that their efforisto free the crow- har snd to lower the rall were frantic and like the work!nzs of madmen, and they seemed to torget their own danger. The bar was loosened and the rail lowered just as the train reached it but the men who had done so nobly paid dearly for their daring. The eogine struck them and killed Jobn “”“"‘:{‘ and mangted Michael so frightfully that bedled in o sbort time, These men were married and leave families. EWSs.
