The Rock Underwriters and Undertakers Wrestling With a Knotty Problem, A Coffin Leaves Omaha With a Corpse and Turns Up in Missouri Full of Sand. A Corove’s Jury Declares Royal Rizgins Dead, And a Detective Say ‘“Produce Your Stiff.” A very curious question has just arisen and one yhich promiscs to be extremely difficult to solve, viz: the whereaboats of the dead body of Roy- sl Rigglis, who committed suic 28th day of Novembe: A ROMANTIC STARTER. There was quite a r manoe connect- ed with this affeir which briefly s t,1d as follows: “James Riggins, well kitown in An- drew and Nodawey counties, Moy, becams engaged to une of Andrew county’sFair daughters, but for some reison, best known to the maiden, beoke off the engigement. Jawes, in his disappointment, concluded to bury himeslf n the great west, far from ing the transfer of the remains where corrobborated. Messrs. M. H. Parrish, Elias Gish, M. O. Maul | and Charlle Withnell were present at the time and scout the idea of there being fraud attempted against the insurance company. . They will swear the matter down to a fine point iF necessary, and ssy that if the body was taken from the coffin it was after ftleft Omahs. They had a letter on Friday last from Dr. Y e wor, dated ak St. Louis, February 10. WHAT THE DOCTOR SAYS. The doctor sags that the rumor is thet Riggins is not dead; that he, the doctor mever went to North Platte; that Mr. Jacobs “put no body in the casket bat put sand in it,” and that the doctor was trying {o got the in- surance held on Riggios life. He says Riggins never had his life insur- ed, 80 far as he knows and that no one has made any application for the insur- snce money. The writer was on the eve of starting for Fillmore, and re- quested Mr. Jacobs to send him a let- ter, stating that he had pat the body of Riggins in the metallic case, and giving names of witnesses. In reply a letter was sent, signed by ail the ve, Mr. Jacobs be So far as there being any mystery about the death of the young man, there is done. body at the cor>..er's, and knowstho statement of Mr. Parrish, and others, to be correct iu every particular.

I the young man home aad friends. Procuring an in- surance upon his life, in favor of his litide speeches for which hs lsso noted, tntroduced the distingutshed -lecturer to the audience, and welcomed him on behalf of our people to the city. Mr. Redppth began by thankiog theaudience for their warm welcome. He said that the mars of English re ports upon Irelaud were malignsut slandere; that when he spoke of Eog- land he meant, not the Coglish peo- ple, or the Scotch people, but that malignant, meroiless,hypocritical gv- ernment that has blasted and robbed every race with which it came in con. tact,and driven out millions of happy, contented people from their homes under the name of civilizatiun—the British government, the ruling curee of Eogland. England is profase in her explana- tions of the causes of Ireland’strenbles, privcizal of which were because they were Cath llc, dronkon snd lawless. Ireland’s troubles, asid Mr. Redpatt, msy be comprebended in one word, and that is landlordiem. For three hundred years they have been at the mercy ot English landlords. Ireland maybe divided inio three sections, each of which differs from the other in condition avd land laws. The northern part of the country has been for three hundred yesrs under Protestant rule, snd was origimally setiled by colovies seat over from Scotland and Eo lanc under H ney VIIL. These colonist: at first oppressed by their Iandlords refused to submit, and the English govercment for fesr of losing her rev- euue compelied the landlords to enact a system of laad teoure which s o.n- taived 10 what is ucw callea the three Fs: Fair Rent, Fixiy of Tenure, and Free Sale. Tbis privilege extend- ed only to that portioa of the cou seitied by the Protestaut col.ni and this alone has been the cause of the grester prosperity of Protesfant over Oatiolic Ir-lsnd. Driviag fiom the fertile sea coast to the ba-ren in land the ““ Wild Irish,” as they wer: called, the Ulster men maintained that e they stood a grod chance of dying ot thehands of the infuriated natives they muet also have a good chance of liviog. On this acs-uot they main- tained their demands for liberal land laws, and they have repesd the benefit, Mr Ro-dpa hdevoted some time to the roligious question iu its relation to Trish politics, and explained that the ouly class of Irishmen who were op- posed to the land lesgne were the Ulster factory men. He therefore urge upon his hearers to Boycott Irish linens and thus to bring them to their seneee. The lecturer then devoted his attoution to the systew of tenure, 88 practised in the esstern and west- ern portions of Ireland, and present- d a grapbic picture of the sufferings of the peasantry under the famine of last sammer, as witnessed by himself 1. bis tour through the stricken dis- He refuted the libel that land- lords were fleeing from Irelaud for fear of their lives, and said that only two landlords or agents had left Ire- land during the past yesr. Mr. Red- pathhimself was the author of Boy- cotting, and entered into a detafled history of the movement which b worked such mighty rewults in the present movements. He explsined the great aid which the organization of the land league had been in cbanging the famine-stricken Irish from a bro- ken bearted nstion to a nation of free- men, and closed by an explanation of the killing of Lord Leitrim by a young Irish-American for the seduction of hissister.
