lRELAND's DEsrlrUTGoN.-I.2te re-
ports from Ireland contradict the state
ments made few days ago that the want
and suffering were less than had been re-
ported, and the situation was improving.
On the contrary, it is estimated by persons
well qualified to form an opinion that the
distress must extend and increase, except
50 far as it is relieved by charity, until
past the middle Of summer. This must
be so, of course, for the people are de-
pendent upon the produce of their lands,
and have nothing until the new crops are
raised. The special suffering of this sea-
son is not among the laborers and other
poor of the towns.
There is, as always, more or less desti-
tuition among them, but food, thanks to
the great importation from America, is AS
cheap us usual, or even cheaper, and their
means of living is not cut of. But the
chief sufferers are the small tenants who
cultivate a few acres of land, and in fairly
productive years manage to live, in OK
IRENE poverty and squalor too often. but
without actual suffering for want of food.
At the best their living is meager and the
produce of their land leaves them no sur
plus. They have no money or other
property in reserve, and when their crops
fail us they did last year they are brought
face to flcc with starvation.

Changing the position Of the board itself

the diagram are ranged the numbers l, 5,

he found the puzzle an eusv one. So will
any one else who tries it. Investigating
a little further, he found he could do it by
putting the right.hand side of the board
at the top. So can any one who will try
it. All that is necessary to do the fifteen
puzzle is to work it down to the first or
second position named. If the first posi-
ton is reached the puzzle is solved. If
the second position is reached, turn the
board one'quarter way round, so that one
of the sides becomes the top, and the top
and bottom become the two sides. and the
arrangement is easy.

The inquiry into the Tay bridge disaster
is now proceeding at Dundee before the
board Of trade. The painters who painted
the bridge last summer testified that thew
saw numerous bolt holes empty. fonnd
bolts IN holes where there should have
been rivets, and rivets without heads. hars
loosened and NUS unscrewel. One of the
supporting columns of high girders, crack.
ed from top to bottom. was held together
with four hoop bands. Sometimes The
oscillation of the bridge was SO great that
they feared it would fall. The evidence
created considerable sensation, but its
value cannot be estim tied until The railway
inspectors are heard.

TIE LAWRENCE MURDER CASE Frank
Lawrence. of Swanton. charged with the
murder of his father at Grand Island. Neo-'
has waived examination and been commit
ted for trial. Popular feeling against
Frank runs very high in Grand Island.
A circumstance which may weigh some-
thing against him is brought out by the
insurance men. who claim that Frank told
an untruth in his letter of January 2Sth'
about the hotel where his father WAS laid
up in consequence of his injuries by the
folding doors. They say that Frank
claimed that his father was injured at the
Kirkwood House. Dcs Mones. whereas
they stopped at another house, the Ameri-
can. They also say that Dr.. Coffnan,
who attended him for three days. at this
time, writes them that he could find no
signs of any external injury and that the
old gentleman seemed to be suffering from
disease.
In the best medical opinion, the so-called
analysis which has been made of Mr..
Lawrence's stomach, liver and inteStines
is net very valuable. The only way to
detect prussic acid poisoning after death is
by II peculiar odor, and by the discolora
ton of blood. This cannot rs rule
be done with that degree of certainty
which ought to be required to hang Il man,
several days after the death of the subject
On the other hand. all the symptoms of
the old gentleman's death, us reported,
the gasping, the oOzing of yeilowish mat
ter from the mouth, rs well us Frank S
suspicious opening of the windows
and bathing his fathers whskers with
camphor after death, would all Indicate
prusSic acid poisoning, but caanot be
called absolute proof.
Letters have within few days been
received from Frank in which he processes
to explain things. He says he did not tell
the Grand Island druggist he wanted the
prus,ic acid to poison dog, but that the
first two parts of which he had bought
from one store, had not strength, and the
article was so poor that the druggist would
take nothing for it. Afterwards, mt an
other store. he bought some acid and took
portion of it in the druggists presence
He says he never proposed to bury his
father in the potters' field but merely to
place his body in the receiving tomb until
it could be sent east, and on finding there
was no such tomb, he bought lot and
paid six dollars for it. He says that he
did not get the accident policy in his
fathers name at Chicago, us the Tribune
states, and knew nothing about it until his
father showed it to him ut Omaha.
