London, April 2S.-John and Corne-
Illus Creedon, brothers, and John O'sul-
livan, law clerk, have been arrested at
Mill street, Cork, under the coercion
act.
Lord Harrington in a speech last
night said be believed that the evils of
Ireland are too deep seated to be re-
moved by any changes in the relations
of landlord and tenants. Those evils,
he added, never viii be effectually re-
moved until the number of owners of
property is increased. 1t Is therefore
to the clauses in the land bill which
point in that direction that we look for
the ultimate and main improvement in
the condition of Ireland.

Bill Nye's Boomerang.
Col. Gilbert Adams, whose default as
United States marshal of Wyoming had
to be made up the other day by ii.
Glafcke and another bondsmen, was
formerly citizen of Laramie, as many
of our readers will remember. He is
the man who wanted more space on his
bills than anybody. He could stand of
an account longer and harder than any
one in the civilized world.
He stood off Geo. w. Lancaster once
too often, and George knocked him
across too vacant lots and into an irri-
cation ditch, and corded him up in
such shape that he looked like bale
of old clothes.
Col. Gilbert Adams then went to the
doctor and had some court plaster dado
business put on his features. and when
people asked him how he got hurt he
told them that he tried to pick a soft
corn out of mules hind foot, and he
thought the mule must have kicked
him in an unguarded moment.
He said the mule, now, however, re-
GREETED it rs much as he did.
Col. Adams is now in Kansas City.
We saw him there not long ago. He
didn't see us. At the time VIC looked
his way he was looking up into the mid
die of the sky, wrapped in thought.
He is sleeping car conductor now,
and while he is out on his run, he gets
so lonesome, they say, with no one to
dun him, that he gets respondent and
low spirited, and the only way they can
cheer him up is to have the porter go
and present a lot of bills to him for
payment. Then he will brace up, and
laugh, and begin te enjoy life again.
Col. Adams has busted in nearly
every state and territory in the union,
and he wants the government to annex
Mexico, SO that he can go down there
and bust. He has tried every business
from the brick business to the bank
ruptcy business, but he has never
achieved much fame except as moss
grown and picturesque financial ruin.

Pittsburgh, April 28-It appears that
W. A. M. Grier, the original Garfield
man from Pennsylvania, was at first
rendered the second assistant postmas-
ter generalship, but MacVeagh inter-
fered and caused Garfield to believe
that the third assistancy would be
acceptable.
Garfield was greatly surprised at
Grier's declination and will withdraw
the nomination. 1t seems that the
nomination displaced Gen. Hazen, a
personal friend Of Grier, and fellow
graduate Of Lafayette college, after it
had been agreed between them that
Grier's appointment should not involve
Hazen's displacement.

Chicago, April 2S-The Inter Ocean's
Washington special says: An attempt
has been made on the part of Gen.
Brady's friends to deter the president
from prosecuting the star route frauds,
by threatening the publication of let
ter written by him to Gen. Brady prior
to the Indiana election, in relation to
subscriptions to the campaign fund.
The president refuses to be bulldozed,
and the inquiry will go on until the
chief promoters of the conspiracy to
defraud the government receive their
just rewards. 1t is claiRed that Brady
has important documents In his posses
sion, and holds them in reserve for
emergencies. 1t is alleged that he
holds in his possession letters that will
insure, if not wreck, several valuable
republicans.

Four Boys OF n Group OF Six In.
stantIy Killed.


Louisville, April 28.-A frightful
accident occurred this forenoon at the
school house corner of Market and 26th
streets, while the school was at recess.
The boys were playing base ball, and
their game had just been concluded and
the bell summoning them to their
school duties was ringing, thereby
causing the boys to be in the same spot,
where their coats and hats had been
placed, just as a flash of lightning
struck the earth. The boys were for a
moment obscured from sight, so vivid
was the lightning. When the few
people in the neighborhood again looked
towards the boys they were all fiat on
the ground.
Two gentlemen ran to the spot, and
to their horror discovered four of the
boys faces upturned in the direction of
the sky, from which they had but short
ly received their last summons. Two
other boys, stunned lay near their
companions. The gentlemen quickly
procured water and quenched the fire
in the clothing of the boys. Vain ef-
forts were made to revive all of the
boys, who appeared lifeless, and four
of whom we're recognized as positively
dead.
Doctors arrived soon after the acci-
dent, examined the boys. and found
that four out of the six had been struck
dead. Their ages ranged from II to IA
years. The spot of earth which bears
the marks of the bolt could be covered
by bushel measure. The surface of
the ground is but little disturbed, and
resembles hole which might have been

Robertson ResponsibIe

New York, April 2S.-A correspond
ent of the Philadelphia Ledger, usually
well informed, says: The real ''lion is
the way" to putting an end TO the dead
lock in the senate. 1t is now ascer-
tained beyond peradventure that it is
not Conkling nor the president, but
Robertson himself. The prominent
republicans, who are said to have been
commissioned to go to Albany to per.
suade him, for the sake of republican
harmony, to withdraw as the nominee
for the New York collectorship, report
that they have been unable to turn him
over to that view of his duty, but, that
on the contrary, he declares his determ-
ination to ''stick," no matter who may
be pleased or displeased. The gentle
men to whom this delicate mission was
entrusted, are no way backward in
having it understood that they were
acting by high authority in order to
carry out the compromise, and there is
no reason to believe that the nonsuc-
cess of their undertaking has already
been telegraphed to Washington.
Robertson, it is further understood,
expressed himself with considerable
feeling on the occasion, and gave his
visitors to understand plainly that lie
did notintend to be the catspaw of any
body. He also reminded them that he
had not sought the office, that the Of
fee had sought him, and having con-
sented to accept it, he intended to abide
by the action of the senate, be it favor
able or otherwise.
l cannot ascertain that the presence
in the city just now of Blaine, Gov.
Cornell and other distinguished repub-
licans, has had anything to do directly
with this matter, but at the custom
house, where they usually have wonder

cases of this kind, is going on behind

Omaha. April 2S-Dr. McGillicuddy,
Indian agent at Pine Ridge, is in town.
He says that the reports about trouble
between a party of Indians and Boone

any warrant for May'sarrest. The In
dians are in charge of Yong Man
Afraid-of-His- s-Horses, who is very
friendly to the whites, and 40 collision
between his men and those Of May is in
any way feared. There are about 120

st. Louis, April 2s.-There are no
signs of riot this morning and cars
are running on some of the lines. The
police are out in full force assisted by
the state troops. The first car appeared
on Oliver street at $50 this morning,
and large crowd gathered, but the
police were able to keep the street clear.
Fifteen mounted police fianked it, and
it was manned by Superintendent Wells
and two drivers, with two passengers.
A number of other cars soon followed,
turned on the table and went back.
The crowd generally took the police
roughness with good nature, and at 10
O'Clock thestreet was as quiet as usual,
except for the presence of the police.

MEXICO AND THE u. ..
The Rest OF Feeling in Mexico-Gen.
Grants Reception.

0rantb ncceptiOn.
New York, April 2S.-A Washing
ton special says: Major Frank Degrees,
of the City of Mexico. arrived here to-
day. He left Mexico about nine days
ago. He says the story about Grant
coming to conquer the country was
talked of there before he arrived, but
that it made no impression at all npon
people, as they knew it was a canard,
started by foreigners who are inter-
ested in the country, and who are
prejudiced against Americans. He
declared that the Mexicans were just
as glad to see Grant as the first time
he came; they gave him no public re-
ception for two reasons: first, they could
not afford to be giving big receptions
SO often, and in the second place Grant
insisted that he was coming simply on
business as a private citizen, and de-
clined to allow parade or expenditure
of money on his account. There is not
the slightest feeling of hostility towards
the United States, Major Degrees says,
neither among the common people nor
among the leading citizens.
President Diaz continues to be very
popular in Mexico, and he is deeply in
terested in the promotion of CONNER
cial relations with the United States.
The fact that the troops had been REIN
forced along the frontier was because
they thought that possibly when the
railroad building began, lawless char
acters would come into the country,
and that the presence of military would
have restraining influence upon them.

APPALLING DISASTER.
A scow Containing 80 Persons Upse
I'm n Haeistrom-Drownf

In NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.
Chicago, April 2s.-An Elgin dis
patch to the Journal says: An appalling
disaster occurred here this morning,
which has brought sorrow into nearly
every house in the city. The recent
food did great pecuniary damage to
this vicinity, but among the other dis
asters that has inflicted the most dis
comfort, is the washing away Of bridges
across Fox river, which has been daily
traversed by great crowds of school
children and operatives in the factories.
The city council at once ordered TEN
porary ferry, and small scow was
rugged to a wire cable, and made its
first trip last evening amid the jeers of
the crowd, who suspected its safety
from the start. On its second trip this
morning, when overloaded, nearly dip
ping its edges in the whirling, eddying
stream, still swelled by the brooks and
flooded meadows, it yielded to strong
move, and with its living freight of
thirty men and children, was over
turned in a maelstrom and the whole
number was instantly precipitated into
the mad current and whirled away
down stream, uttering shrieks and
making wild ontcries peculiar to
drowning persons. The people on the
banks who witnessed the horrible sight,
set about rescuing those who kept their
heads above water. and there were
some daring acts Of bravery. More
persons were picked up in small boats
and drawn to shore by means of ropes
than would seem possible. The disas-
ter does not now appear to be SO bad as
at first reported. Sixteen persons are
known to have been saved; two are
missing and four are known to be
drowned. There is great excitement
in the city and hundreds of persons are
busily engaged in dragging the river.

Washington, April 2S.-There is is a
powerful effort being made here to or
ganize national representation of the
workingmen's organizations through
out the country, in order that all may
be made in communication, and. act in
concert in endeavoring to obtain an
increase of wages this summer. It is
claimed by those pnrporting to repre-
sent the workingmen's organizations,
that corporations and employers are
making more money than ever, but
will not increase wages, and that the
workingmen intend to demand an in
crease, and general strikes may occur
this year.

St. Joseph, Mo-, April 28.-The

boat.
Kansas City. April 28.-The damage
to property to-day by the high water

souri, and Kansas rivers are still rising,
there is much alarm among the owners
of property on what is called the bot
toms, where the packing houses, ice
houses, stock yards and many whole
sale houses are located.
One hundred families have been
driven from their homes already, and q
thousand people are tonight in great
danger of similar fate, their houses
being four feet below the level of the
river with frail embankment alone
to protect them. The large ice houses
of Stevens & Obern, meat packers, were
undermined this afternoon and 81, 600
tons OF ice lost. The ice houses Of
