THE WV 1Y OMAHA DaAiry BEE THIRTE THE DECEASED INFORMER, Mr. James cnrei, EC., Late of Dud- lin, Passes Violently AWQY e ‘The Invincible Avengers Track Him to South America and Dig His Grave—The News in Ireland and England. A DEAD DOG. INFORMER CARRY KILLED, Loxvoxn, July 30.—Intelligence has just been received here that James Carey, the informer in the Phoenix park murder cases, was shot d.ad _yesterday on the steamship Melrose, while she was between Capetown and Port Elizabeth. The deed was committed by a fellow pas- senger named O'Donnell. O'Donnell took passage by the steamship Rinfauns Castle, which left Dartmouth on the 6th for Capetown, where she transferred her puasengors, who were destined to Port lizabeth, Natal and other const ports to the steamship Melrose. The report of the shooting of Carey caused intense ex- citement in West End London, and in the house of commons. HOW IT HAPPENED, Loxvox, July 80,—Evening.—Later advices about the killing of James Carey, the informer, show that he was shot while landing from the Melrose, at Port Elizabeth. O'Donnell, his slayer, is in custody. The government had taken special and expensive measures to pro- tect Carey. DOGGED TO DEATH. Itappears O'Donnelldogged|Carey from London, and both sailed on the steamer Rinfauns Castle. The Daily Telegraph says: The government have little g(ru t that Carey was followed from Dublin. They believe that the Fenians had taken the most elaborate measures to prevent his escape. According to the latest accounts the murder occurred at gea. Carey was not killed outright but died shortly after he was shot. O’Donnell surrendered him- self quietly, was placed in irons and handed over to the police when the Mel- rose arrived at Port Elizabeth. Carey was traveling under the name of Power. His family were with him. Carey embarked at Dartmouth from Maderia. He wrote a letter to the au- thorities, in which he describes the voy- age. He said he had shared in conver- sation in which the invincibles and the miscreant Carey were especially de- nounced. He said he intended to forget Ireland ever existed. JOYFUL NEWS. DusLy, July 30.—The news of James Carey’s death caused many exhibitions of delight on the streets here. A large crpwd gathere® to-night in front of James Carey’s late residence, cheering loudly because th: informer had been killed. Dublin authorities believe O’Donnell is the man who was implicated three years years ago in an attempt to blow up the Mansion House, London, but who escaped with Coleman to New York. The government selected Africa as the safest place for Carey. It is doubtful whether he kuew _Lis destina- tion before sailing. ~ It was not revealed to the who took him from Dublin to London. THE FEELING IN NEW YORK, New York, July 30.—The feeling in Irish circles in this city aroused by the re- port of the shooting of Carey, is one of pro- found hope of its truth. The report has not yet gained full credence and the fact that such a circumstantial account of the arrival and identiflcation of Carey in Montreal had just preceeded the an- nouncement that he had been shot, causes many doubts. The story of the -shooting, however, seems to grow in favor, as it is argued Carey would never venture to go to Canada, while he would be likely to seek safety in more distant Africa. Every Irishman spoken to ex- resses the opinion that Carey richly eserved death; that if he is not already killed it is only a question of time when he will be. e — ‘Wind and Lightning.

CONFEDERATE BONDS, A SYNDICATE FORMED TO BECURE THEIR PAYMENT, Ciicaco, July 80.—A special London cable says o syndicate of the holders of confederate bonds have been formed to ress their payment, and they have out- ined the campaign, whih contemplates financial pressure on the southern states by attempting to close the European money markets to southern enter- wise. The syndicate has been a ong time in corvespondence with prominent men in the south. All with- out exception agreed that some compro- mise should be effected at a low figure, The syndicate also entertain some senti- mental hopes of assistance on the part of the United States government. They have a project of getting the southern states to petition the United States gov- ernment to transfer to bondholders the unappropriated balance of the Alabama TH YEAR. award and of the large amount of money received from cotton seizure in the south during the war. It is thought by them that %xo,om,om are lying idle in the treasury at Washington. This would be £18,000,000 or $14,. 000,000, or about one-third of the amount they would be satisfied with as a settlement. The amount of the Con- federate debt is said to ba £400,000,000. 1t 18 held mostly in Europe. How much of this the syndicate will be able to gather remains to be seen. At any rate a syndicate if successful will reap & vast reward for their outlay. —— Destructive Fire at Minneapolis. Muxsearorts, July 30.—This morning at 1:30 o'clock a fire was discovered on the top floor of the syndicate block. The fire gained rapid headway, notwithstand- ing the quick response of the depart- | ment, illuminated the strects many | squares, and thousands of people gath ered to witness the efforts of the firemen to save the magnificent building, which covers half a square, and is said to be the, finest block in the northwest. 1t is situ- ated on Nicolette avenue, between Fifth | and Sixth strects, and is occupied by Dale, Barnes, Morse & Co., wholesale dry goods; Folds & Griffiths, carpets; Brennen, Starr & Everetts, wholesale crockery dealers. The origin of the fire is a mystery. When first discovered the | flames were blazing out of the nfth story windows, A reporter first on the | ground climbed upon the roof by the aid of the fire escape. The flames eould easily have been controlled then but the standpipe would not work and the report- er was forced to abandon his elevated post. For a time the fire defied all efforts of the firemen, who worked heroically. It was feared the entire block would be swept away. At four o'clock, however, the wind shifted and tle firemen quickly took advantage of the change and got the flames under control. The fire originat- ed on the top floor., Brennen, Starr & Everett's loss will reach $150,000. The work of rebuilding will begin at-once. The fire is the most serious since 1878. Brennen, Starr & Everett estimate their loss at $150,000; insurance $93,000. Fields & Grifliths loss is $85,000; insur- ance about half, Another fire ‘started this forenoon in the City Hall building, occupied by the Morning Tribune, city officials, telephone and Western Union companies, and burn- ed off a large part ef the roof. It was extinguished before the main part of the building was much damaged. The lower floors were flooded with water, Damage probably $8,000. The origin was a hot {mx in the elevator. ——— The Sunday Law in St. Louis. Sr. Louis, July 30.—Twelve hundred violators of the Sunday law were reported to-day.

No arrests were made of vyiolations observed by the police. The violations were reported to-day to the prosecuting attorney who will immediately proceed against the viola- tors in the court of eriminal correction. It is said ‘in police circles that arrests will be made next Sunday. It is re- arted & strong combination has been formed to resist the laws and seven prominent attorneys have been e?;ged to test cases up to the Uni States supreme court. It is estimated that 3,000 barrels of beer is consumed every Sunday in 8t. Louis, which, added to wines and whiskies probably make the aggregate cost to consumers over This morning 236 warrants were sworn out against violators of the Sunday law.

Prrrspure, July 30, — Seventy- five rafts containing three hundred and sev- enty-five thousand feet of lumber were swept from their moorings at Hern's Is- land, to-day, by a freshet in the Alleghe- 1y River. When the break occurred a number of men jumped on the rafts and endeavored to guide them, but their ef- forts were fruitless. In a few minutes the swift current was hurrying them down the river. At 6th street suspen- sion bridge, a raft with an unknown man on struck the pier and went to pioces. The man was drowned before assistance could reach him. It was reported that others shared a similar fate, but this is not verified. The loss will aggregate one thousand dollars.

The President of the Board of Health Taiks, No Danger of Cholera But Plenty of Other Trouble. A Brr roporter met Dr. P. 8. Leisour- ing, the city physician, yesterday and in the courso of a conversation reference was mado to the alarming reports con- cerning the spread of cholera in the east and its possible advent in our own local- ity, he expressed the opinion that this city was in no danger whatever, even if a fow isolated cases should ocour no great alarm need be felt as it is not contagious. A single case of yellow fever brought up the river and terminating fatally here would not necessarily result in a8 of that terrible disease. If Omaha is visited at. all by. cholera it will be in the spring. The san- itary condition of the city, he says, is bet- ter to day than ever before in its i)ilfory and the streets and alleys, with very fow excoptions are in excellent shape. With the aid of the police officer furnished by the mayor and marshal he had been able to keep things pretty olean, but had he additional force he gould do still more to insure the cleanliness of the city but with only one man to out the orders of the board of health, thorough care was out of the question. The doctor went on to say that he had sent in petitions and communications without number to the council ever since his first appointment, but until recently but little attention had been paid them. In fact, the doctor smd that until the sewerage system was perfected it would be impossible to keep the city as clean as it should be, and city scavengers should be provided for to remove al themselves to do this work. things are bad enough and he'would Wf to sce -wfidhhn by the council to’ bef tow.ity Jo did not be unnecessarily condition of things exists along South Omaha creek, where at present so enor- mous a death rate amoug young children is reported, due almost wholly to the tilthy condition of that locality. Although during the past week we have had fourteen deaths, it must be considered that Omaha is one of the healthiest cities in the United States and probably in the world, Thirteen of these deaths were of children under two years of age, which, I consider = due largely to the neglect or want of pro- per care on the part of parents, There was also one of diptheria. I do not see any occasion for alarm so long as the death rate of the city is not increased, al- though, of course, by extra precautions the sanitary condition would be improved. Those who do the most talk- ing about the filth of tho city, generally do most to keep it in that shape, or less to better it.

Bosrox, July 30.—The Journal says Stedman & Co., shoe dealers, of New York, have suspended in connection with Copeland & Co., of which house they are a branch, It is also announced here that W. N, Toller & Co., shoe deal- ers of Baltimore, have suspended in con- ction with Copeland’s_failure, and that Hoffheimer & Son, of Norfolk, Va., are in trouble from the same cause. The Journal says: F. Shaw & Bros., the largest tanners in the world, made an assignment to-day, Liabilities cannot be given but the total assets is given at £5,000,000. They are creditors to Chas. W, Copeland & "Co. to tho amoiht of §200,000. The first news of the embar- rassment on the streot come from the re- turn of the firm's check from the clear- ing house, endorsed *“no funds” an hour’s time after the regular settlement. An hour wag asked and granted, but though funds were at hand almost sufficient to feancel immediate obligitions, it was found impossible to permanently tide over the embarrassments. This evening the liabilities were stated by authority of counsel of the firm to be 83,600,000; nominal assets, $5,000,000. The assets include tanneries in northern Maine, New York state, New Brunswick and Quebec, and 1,600,000 acres of land. There were from 10,000 to 15,000 people employed by the concern. The immedi- ate cause of the failure was the suspen- sion of Copeland & Co., who owe Shaw Bros. ,000. The failure can ‘be traced to the suspension of the Pacific bank a year ago. Shaw Bros. at the time the bank collapsed held a num- ber of shoe and leather firmsabove water, They have been carryi ese firms ever since the Puacific ure and firms will probably be heard from within o few days. The creditors of Shaw & Co, are chiefly Majne, Boston and New York banks, and, some of the largest hide and leather houses of this city. The. tannerses of the firm will be kept run- ning, to work up stock, Which is six months behind on orders. The Herald . places the liabilities of Copeland & Co. at 81,500,000, of which about 81,000,000 is direct and the bal- ance contingent indebtedness.. Copeland m{l if the claims which he holds against other parties can be collected the assets will cover the direct liabilities and leave a surplus of about $200,000. The firm hope to arrange. matters and cofitinue in business. Cureaco, July 30.—Jose | Pratt, of the Joseph Pratt company, wholesale boot and shoes of this city, assigned.
