The Irish QuestiOn-A Significant Ap-
 Ointment-0Iovement of Troops.
 LONDON, Nov. 30.-The Tunes says The appointment of MT. Shaw-Lefevre, secretary to the Admiralty, to succeed William P. Adam as First Commissioner of Works, is signif- cant. His views in regard to Irish land are we'll known. He has made himself the special champion of the clauses of the Land act of 1870, intended to facilitate the purchase of holdings by occupiers. In conducting Irish measures especially he will doubtless prove an able lieutenant to Mir. Gladstone and MT. Forster.
 Two hundred of the Chatham division of marines, who were recently ordered to Ire- land but whose departure was postponed, will start this week.
 A large force of police, accompanied by in fantry and artillery, proceeded to New Pallas at o'clock this morning to quell the disturb ance there.
 The removal of the police hut to the place of it's erection at New Pallas has been safely accomplished, the peasantry being overawed by the overwhelming force of soldiers, who pitched six tents in which twenty-five police will camp to protect the men engaged in the erection of the hut.

A Sharp Railroad Controversy.

Sharp Railroad Controversy. CLINTON, Nov. 3O.-A spirited railroad en- counter took place at Lyons at noon to-day. When the Chicago, Milwaukee and St. Paul track layer reached the switch in Lyons they found 8 Chicago and Northwestern car on the switch in such manner that they could not proceed with their work. The car and track were both on the street, so an extra session of the city council was called and resolu- tion passed ordering the marshal to clear both the car and the switch from the street as the track had been laid without authority. The marshal proceeded to the switch, fol- lowed by the construction force and crowd of several hundred citizens. After barley the crowd forcibly took Engineer Herman Wells from his cab. Superintendent Cooley, of the Milwaukee force, seized the throttle and ran the engine and way car back on the Northwestern main line. The force then tore up the rails of the switch and laid down the Chicago, Milwaukee and St. Paul track. The latter road will be completed to this place by Saturday. There was great excitement during the scene at the switch. No more trouble is apprehended, as an injunction has been served on the North western road. The Chicago and Northwest ern will open it's new branch from Yuma City to Webster City, Pa., on next Monday for business

 Three Brave Men Lost-PeriIs of the Life
 Saving Service.
 PRovINcETowN Nov. 3O.-An accident hap pened last night by which three of the crew of life-saving station No. lost their lives A coal laden schooner, name not yet learned, ran ashore near the station. The life-saving crew attempted to go on board to render as- sistance; their boat was capsized, and Capt. D. H. Atkins, Elisha N. Taylor and Frank Mayo, all of Provincetown, were drowned. The bodies of Captain Atkins and one man have been recovered.
 A later dispatch says that the cause of the capsizing of the lfe-saving boat, by which three of the men were drowned, was by be- ing struck by the main boom of the sloop, which was the C. E. Trumbull, of Rockport, Mass. They had boarded the sloop and talk en three of her crew ashore, and were re- turning for the remainder. The three others of the ife-saving crew swan ashore in an ex- hausted condition. The sloop has since drifted away with the captain and pilot on board

Murdered for His Money.

COUNCIL BLUFFS, Nov. 3O.-The body of John D. Sapp, saloon keeper, was found about o'clock this morning on the floor of his saloon with the skull crushed in and the side of the face terribly cut or bruised, the result of blow from some heavy blunt in strument. The wounds were sufficient to have caused death almost instantly. The de ceased had considerable money, all of which was taken by the murderer or murderers
 Sapp is known to have closed his saloon at ? a. m, and as no evidences of forcible en- trance are visible, it is supposed he was af- forwards called up by the man or men who killed him. In the saloon wore found a 'screwdriver and several other articles which had been stolen from grocery store near by a week or so ago. Great excitement prevails over the deed, as it is the first deliberate murder committed here since 1845. Sapp was an inoffensive man, about 56 years old.

| CnaI Famine,

CHAMPAIGN, Nov. 30.-Much alarm exists here over the present and prospective coal famine. Not one-fourth of the demand can be supplied either in this city or in any of the towns on the Illinois Central road. The stations are watched daily anxiously for coal and it is carefully divided up, some getting wheelbarrow loads. In one town over eighty teams waited for a car and on it's arrival forty got each small amount and the rest none. A heavy snow and cold weather would cause great suffering.
 MENDOZA, Ill, Nov 3O.-Coal is becoming more scarce and persons without it are glad to get half ton at time. Hard coal is $10 per ton and soft coal $5. People are putting away their coal stoves and are replacing them with wood burners.
