ACCIDENTALLY KILLED. ‘The Legal Inquiry Into the Circumstances of the Death of Chas. Bradshay John Rau, one of the young men in the party at Mr. Goodall’s Wednesday night, at which Charles Bradshaw was accidentally shot, went to Lieut. Vernon's station yesterday and stated that he was under the impression that the ball of his pistol was the fatal one, but be could not tell how the pistol went off, unless, after he had shot twice in the air ‘and when he dropped it, supposing that the pistol was not cocked, he must, in the excite- ment, have unintentionally pulled the trigger. He expreseed his willingness to appear at any investigation and was allowed to leave with the ing that he would appear at 1 o’elock. “Mr. Bradshaw, the father of the deceased, was satisfied that the shot was accidental. The fam- ily is from Culpeper county, where the inter- ment will probably be made on Monday. Dr. Thompson states that the ball ai- reetly through the heart and_death was almos instantaneous. ‘The coroner, Dr. Patterson, yesterday held ‘an inquest with the following jurorsat the fourth station: G. E. Mattingly, James Lee fontaine, £ A. McDermott. ‘Thomas A. King, John Riddle and J. F_ Collins. ‘Aaron Coleman was the first witness and he testified that he lived at 1311 7th street north- west; that they were all invited out to see the old year out and new year in, and they stopped at the corner; some gentlemen came uj and cigars were d; Mr. Rau fired, when the whistles sounded, two shots in the wr and one downward. Heard some one say that he hid shot young yw. The firing by Rau was ail that there was in the party. Mr. Rau and others had come up to I street from church and ex- changed safutations with him and friends and all were on good terms. W. T. Gooual testified that he was standing on the corner with a friend named Cox; heard some pixtol shots and looked in the direction of Bradshaw, who wes about to fall. Witness ran and caught him and with assistance took him to the house; laid him down and sent for the doctor; saw Rau with a pistol; ho fired twice upward ard once as he lowered the pistol. ‘John Rau testified that he and some associ- ates had agreed to watch the old year out and the new yeas in and, after a walk, at a few min- utes of 12 o'clock, they were on’ the corner of Maryland avenue and 6th street and some young men were coming from Mr. Goodall's: there were fifteen or eighteen in all about the corner.,When the whisties of the Baltimore and Potomac engines commenced to blow the wit- ness drew his pistol and fired twice in the air. Some red lights on the car track attracted his It is understood in Dublin that Mr. Wm. O’Brien, M. P., has cabled Mr. Jobn Dillon, M. P., now in New York, that Mr. Parnell consents to retire if Mr. O'Brien is made leader of the Irish party. It is further understood that the Boulogne conference adjourned in order to await Mr. Dillon's reply to this cable message. It is also reported that Mr. Dillon is consulting with several prominent friends of Ireland who reside in the United States previous to answer- ing the important question put to him after the close of the conference. Mr. O'Brien is so annoyed by the false state- ments made as to what did and would not take place at the conference between the Irish lead- ers recently held at the Hotel du Louvre, at Boulogne-sur-Mer, that he has issued the fol- lowing statement over his own signature: “In consequence of rumors concerning my alleged views and impressions, apropos to the conver- sation held with Mr. Parnell at obliged to again warn the ing such statements, as conjectures or YEXT-UP FEELINGS BREAK OUT. The feud existing between the Irish bishops and the Parnellites, which has been smoulder- ing since the election in North Kilkenny, again burst forth fiercely yesterday and the most bit- ter feeling prevails on both sides. Mayor Hor- gan, an earnest supporter of Mr. one of the gentlemen who is said to have been rominent in settli the recent letter to JErO'Brien aligned by the mayor and five ex- mayors, was installed at the town hall as mayor of Cork yesterday amid a scene of intense en- thnsiasm on the part of the Parnellites. On the other hand, the anti-Parnellites were “conspicuous by their absence.” This absence of tr. Parnell's opponents from the installa- tion ceremonies did not in any way tend to dampen the enthusiasm of the ites, who were out in strong force, owing, in addition to the fact that they designed to honor Mr. Hor- gan, that a rumor was circulated early in the day that there was trouble brewing for the Par- ellite mayor. THE BISHOP REFUSED TO OFFICIATE. This trouble manifested iteelf when the ar- rangements were being made during the morn- ing for the customary installation ceremony at the Catholic Cathedral, which has siwaye formed of the day's proceedings. Parnellites were then informed, first by rumor and afterward as a positive fact, that the in- stallation ceremonies at the cathedral must be abandoned, as the bishop, the Right Rev. T. A. O'Callahan, D.D., refused to receive the Par- nellite mayor. ‘This information was greeted with many signs of extreme indignation by the Parnellites, who are now convinced that the battle with the Priesthood is only in its carly stages, and that a long and desperate struggle for supremacy tween themselves and the priests’ may be looked forward to throughout Ireland if Mr. Parnell remains at the head of his section of the Irish party. attention and he lowered his pistol and it went off and he raised it and fired im the air again. He must have had his handon the trigger when he pulled back the cock, and it was when he tired the fourth shot he heard it said some one was shot. Neither he nor hisgompanions had been drinking: they do noi drink. ‘The pis- tol was an old-fashione revolver altered es and Was cus: the trigger. Lieut. Vernon showed the weapon, remarking that it was out of order and dangerous to han- dle. A colored man had found it. Mr. Rau remarked: “When I found that I had shot the young man I threw it as far as I could. ‘The jury returned a verdict that death was caused by a pistol wound from a ball accident- ally fred by John Rau and the latter was allowed to depart for his home. seats ost MAN'S DESTRUCTIVE GREED.

A blizzard set in Wednesday night and con- tinued with great severity during yesterday over northern Missouri and Kanses. Kansas is covered with a blanket of snow from four inches to four feet thick, which in many places drifted to such an extent as to seriously erip- le railway traffic. All the incoming trains from the west were more or less delayed, some for four hours. Some of the regular freight t ins were abandoned entirely. About eight 8 of snow has fallen in Iowa and it is con- derably drifted. Late last night the wind and storm bad somewhat subsided, and the threatened blizzard may nct materialize. The railways are considerabiy demoralized and telegraphic communication badly interrupted. ‘There is considerable talk at the Mare Island navy yard, San Francisco, over the treatment of the crew on the United States steamer Swa- tara. The captain, it is claimed, kept the men prisoners, and they were not allowed on shore Christmas day, nor were the men given the customary thirty-six hours’ furlough every three months, as the rules of the navy allow. Instead of fresh meat the marines were fed on old salt horse and bard tack. It is said the storekeeper makes 5a month off each sailor by means of poor food.

Many Men Wounded in a Battle at Brad- dock, Pa. The strike of the Hungarian furnacemen at the Edgar Thompson Steel Works at Braddock, Pa., resulted in q serious riot yesterday after- noon, in which four men were seriously hurt and a dozen others were battered and bruised. ‘The Hungarians quit work at midnight Wed- nesday and the plant was partially idle, only 100 men being at work repairing furnaces. About 1 o'clock in the afternoon a crowd of 200 strikers, armed with clubs, picks, shovels, revolvers, bars of iron and every other con- ceivable weapon, made an attack on the fur- nace. The men at work were unprepared for the assault, but they bravely stood their ground and a bloody riot was the result. The howling mob of Hi used their weapons freel and men were knocked down, clubbed, bruised and unmercifully beaten. The fight Insted nearly half an hour and when Hungarians were put to'flight it was found that Michael Quinn, Andrew Kramer, John Neason and Patrick Briggs, all workmen, had been seriously wounded and at least a dozen others more or less injured. The police about the works being unable to quell the disturbance the sheriff was called upon. He swore in 200 deputies and will in- crease the number to 1,000 today if necessary. He ordered all the saloons in Braddock closed. Five of the rioters were arrested last night and lodged in jail in default of £1,000 bail each. a Celebrating Emancipation Day.

The How Students of Bird Life May Predict Cold ‘Winters. : Weather prognosticators are remarking just now “I told you so,” with much complaisance, and in the little country villages they are men the New York Times referring to snow ‘storm. That there would be some heavy snow this winter was long ago apparent to those who s study of bird life. A number of the large white or snowy owls that have been no- tiesd by hunters on Long Island are rare birds at best, and only come down as far as Long Island when there is snow or likely to be snow. ‘The absence of robins from their winter place of congregating was also a pretty good sign of coming cold blasts. Most people have an idea that in¢this section the robins do not remain in the winter, but the fact is that large numbers of them never go further south than the cedar woods of New Jersey. Usually in winter they gather in the swamps and evergreen woods, where they are ina great measure protected from the chilling winds and where the berries m the evergreen trees food. Hunters looking for big game in these recesses often come upon the redbreasts. They find them bunched up in the thick, tree tops, evidently as warm as they would be in a feather bed. In these places they remain all winter and on the first mild days come out into the open to feed on fresher material than the berries and nuts of the deep woods. It is probable that quite a number of blue birds, one of the first of the spring comers, also remain in the deep woods all winter. ‘This sea~ son, however, it has been noticed that the rob- ins are not found in these places, and evidently have all tty much gone further south, in- stinct having sent them to warmer climes. deed, all the observations of bird life have pointed to a cold and stormy winter. A big fall of snow will not have any bad effect upon the game birds that remain in this section all winter, provided it does not cyst over and catch the quail napping. Sometimes whole bevies of quail have been destroyed in this manner. The question of food is not soimportant, as abird can live a long time upon the accumulations of ing and go for long periods without eating. Forty days’ fast to a quail would prob- ably not be much of ahardship. When it was ended, however, he might be asick-looking bird. Blue jays also remain here all winter and seem to enjoy it. Owlsand hawks also remain the season through in New Jersey and sweep over the snow-covered meadows and woods in search Ci et It is in such times that the red- shoulder hawk, the common sies of this locality, becomes very bold and does not hesi- tate to come up to the barn and keep a close eye on the chicken house. When put to it for food he will not hesitate to devour dead animals, a thing that a genteel hawk would never think of doing in summer. little snow birds, as they are popularly known, are also here, and they never come without thesnow. Their food isa bud or bite of grain and almost anythin, that they can pick up. The weeds that sticl 3p above the snow furnish many meal to m. . pn, Cena Ignited by a Burning Christmas Tree.

On the arrival of the mail cart at the Dover post office it was discovered that the man was dead, and frozen stiff in his seat. The horse had made all his accustomed halts, while the reins were held in the dead man’s grasp. = son He Didn't Di; ‘Press. While Detroiter was in Chicago the other week he was interviewed at his hotel by aslick- looking man, who claimed to be from the south and who said: “I am here in Chicago on rather queer errand and I want the aid of a square man. Do not be surprised, but I know your name, the city you live in, and I have been assured that I can confide in you.” z “Well, during the war a confederate who was confined at Camp Douglass here buried $25,000 in gold under his shanty in the prison He died in prison, but among the papers he sent home was a cipher key to the money and the spot where it was buried.” “T see.’ “This key fell into my hands only » month o._ I am now here to get the money.’ “Well, why don’t you get it.” “Because the spot where it is buried is owned by a gardener and I shall have to buy half an acre of ground at» cost of $1,000." “Ah! And you can't raise the thousand?” “No; but if'you can I'll go snooks with you on the gold.” “Very well. We'll want papers drawn up and signed and witnessed. je back in half an hour and I'll have my friend, Detective Mc- Gann here as a sign “The — you will!” exclaimed the stranger, and he fell over himself in his hurry to get out of the room and the hotel. “Who is he?” replied a detective, when asked about the man. “Well, he's monte, bunko, n goods, confidence and two or three other ings, and he is sharp enough to make $20,000 year and do it so nicely that we can't get a hold on him. Longevity and Country Life. From the Forum. How great the difference is between an urban and a rural population in the average age of all who die, may be conveniently illustrated from the registration reports of Massachusetts, which have now been published for forty-seven years. In the thirty years from 1850 to 1890 the average ago of all the persons who died in Suf- folk county, an urban county on the seaboard, Was 23 years; the average age of all the persons who died in Barnstable, a rural county on the same seaboard, was 37; in Franklin, an inland rural county, 3834, while the average of all the persons who died in the island county of Nantucket during the thirty years was ver; nearly double the average age at death in Suf- folk—namely, 46.15. ‘The same reports show that the annual death rate is uniformly higher im the densely populated counties than in the sparsely popu fed ones. Other causes besides lensity of population contribute to produce these ‘striking results, but the main fact re- mains that a family’ which lives in the country has a better chance of contin- uance’ than one that in the city. Moreover, if the family history of the actual leaders, for the time being, in business and the professions in any American city, be studied, it will usually be found that a very large pro- portion of them. were countrybred, "The country breeding gives a vigor and an endur- ance which in the long run outweigh all city advantages and enable the well-endowed country boys,to vutstrip all their competitors. & Rowing and Bailing for Life It was on the occasion of an important local anniversary in a small Holland village, says the Philadelphia Times, and in order to prepare for it Sepp, the only boniface in the place, took his assistant and with a batteau started across the river to secure a cask of wine. They went around to the various wine firms and after sampling the goods extensively, a barrel _— was finally made. In order that no ime should be lost, the barrel was carried to the river side and loaded on the bout. The night had come on during their stay and though the wind waa rather high it was pleas- ant and moonlight. ‘Theassistant rowed, while Sepp sat behind the cask and steered. sionally a wave would dash over.the low-sunk sides of the frail bark, but neither of its occu- Pants took any notice of it, until finall steersman, with terror in every note, “For heaven's sake, life. ‘The battean is F out: Michael, row for your leaking.

A Traveler for Sixty Years. From the Chicago Tribune. Among the guests of the Cosmopolitan Hotel in the center of Chicago's Chinatown is Mume. Elizabeth D'Aubigney. She says she has lived eighty-four years, of which sixty years have been spent in travel. “Iam a cosmopolitan,” said Mme. D'Aubig- ney, “the world is my home, and if sixty years of constant travel constitutes a cosm itan then Tam one. My father was a merchant in London. He was a miser, but I had a rich uncle who traveled for his health. I belong to a family of travelers. Iam related by marriage to ‘the celebrated French painter’ D'Aubig- ney. I had advantage of travel by accompanying my uncle sround the world before the age of railroads and wt ips. Ihave visited all the archwologi- cal sites of the world and returned many times to oriental lands. Ican speak French and Spanish as I do English, and can also converse freely in German, Italian, Russian and Turkish. Thave a little knowledge of the Arabic lan- guage. “What country did you visit last?” “Mexico, for whose sunny skies I sigh.” “And where do you go from here?” “To the grave, my child,” she replied, in a | * tone of mild surprise. “I made an interesting discovery when I was in Mexico,” she resumed. “The beetle and the owl were the only idols which the extinct race called Toltecs worshiped. Among the Egyp- tian antiquities which I showed to the mem| of the Academy of Antiquities in the City of Mexico were some beetle and owl idols which corresponded with those found in the ruins of Toles cities. ‘Nothing is known of this pre- historic race except what could be judged from remnants of monuments and inscriptious found in Mexico, but they were an swsthetic people, full of art ‘and learning. I am connected with the Academy” of Antiquities, and the director, Leandro Bastres, who’ is the foremost Mexican antiquarian, was much interested in my Egyptian idols, as they showed the same idols were worshiped thousands of years ago by races living at opposite ends of the world. piece of “Here bought it in the holy city from a lying old fel- low, who it off on me for one of the ieces of silver given to Judas Iscariot for be- ying the Savior.
