Reply 20 the Archoishor

DUBLIN, October 22.--The Freeman's
journal published reply by Egan, the
treasurer q. the Land League, to the letter
oi the archbishop protesting against the
manifesto OF the league. He declares that
the archbishop falls into two grave errors
The original programme Of the league, he
says, was not fair rent, but abolition of
landlordism. There is no comparison be-
tween the present situation and that when
Davitt and the first of the suspects
wege arrested. The government has
now thrown away all pretenses
and appealed TO brute force and suppressed
all forms Of constitutional expression. He
asks whether Archbishop Croko advises
the people to surrender at discretion and
pay rent to their real jailers
and resuscitato the people of
landlordism. The executive of the land
league have long and largely considered the
advisibility ofa strike against rent and be-
lieve il the only wise and courageous
course. They are confident that II must
triumph. A resolution adopted
by the bishop and clergy of the county Of
Kildare IL published endorsing the arch
bishops letter. Edwiger Gray will move
in the town council OF Dublin,
Tuesday next, that the freedom
OF the city be conferred on Parnell.

Waco, October 2-Probably the worst
wreck that this branch Of the Texas Central
has ever had, occurred yesterday evening
At the Little Brazos, four miles this side OF
Bremond. As heavy freight
train was passing over the
bridge across this stream, an
axle broke and part Of Il caught in
the timbers of the bridge, pulling Il from
its foundation and precipitating the whole
structure and ten cars q distance of twenty
feet into the river. A brakeman, the only
person on the wrecked cars, leaped
into the river when he noticed
they were leaving the track and
escaped unhurt.
The track OF the Missouri Pacific is laid
hive miles this side OF Hillsboro. Work on
the extension Of the city railway will be
suspended after Monday for few days for
want Of iron.
A good rain fell here to-day.

Iron County register., 1881-10-13

Some time ago an attempt was made to con.
solidate the leading iron interests at st. Louis
and to form one huge corporation that would
have monopoly Of that important branch OF
business at that point. The stockholders be-
lieve that the companies could be run much
more inexpensively under one management,
but the ysfailed to agree when It came to say
ing how much of the capital stock Of the new
corporation each company would be allowed.
Negotiations were stopped. and nothing more
was said ON the subject. In the last few days,
however, says the GIobe-Demoerat, negotia-
tious were renewed between the Directors of
the Vulcan Steel Company, the Pilot Knob
Iron Company, and the Grand Tower Mining
and transportation Company, looking toward
consolidation of these three companies. In 9
few days matters will be brought to focus,
and these companies will, In all probability
be hereafter under one management. The
only thing likely to prevent this consumma
tion 10 the amount Of stock each company will
be allowed in the new corporation. This IL
the very thing that proved the stumbling block
in the negotiations before; but as the Direc
tors are more anxious to consolidate now
they will be willing to make more liberal con
cessions than before, and the scheme vii
probably be successful. The Grand Towel
Company will supply the coal, the Pilot Knoll
Company the ore, and the Vulcan Steel Com
pany will do the manufacturing.
