Dublin Eeies.

DUBLIN, January 1.-Parnel, who was
apparently Indifferent while his case for the
Crown was being stated, developed much
watchtulness and industry in regard to wit
nesses, making copious notes and passing
them to his counsel.
1t Is a curious fact that one of the traver-
sers, Gorgon, has not up to the present time
come to Dublin, and the Crown has never
once inquired after him. 1t is stated that he
is Ill IN the Western part of Ireland.
The Crown does not trouble itself as to the
whereabouts of the defendants. This has
given the traversers much satisfaction, and 1t
is probable that Riggar, Sexton and others
will 90 to the meeting of Parliament.
The reason assigned for the prohibition of
all land league meetings on Sunday, is tbs.
the meetings are calculated to excite i'll
feeling among Her Maiesty's subjects.

Utah Delegateship.

CHEYENNE, Dec. 3l.-Allen Campbell.
anti Mormon candidate for congress, at the
late election in Utah, passed through to-day
oa his way east. He says Gov. Murray will
decide January 4th whether he will give del
egate Cannon certificate of election; the
objection being that Cannon is an alien and
a polygamlst. Campbell's counsel hold that
Gov. Murray has power to pass upon the
question of eligibility as to issuing certifi-
Gates of election and can legally give GER
tificate to Campbell. There will certainly be
a contest IN the,house over the seat of the
Utah delegate. Campbell is democrat, but
strongly anti-mormon.

Disastrous Fire.

Rock ISLAND, Ill.,, Jan. 2.--The most dis
astrous fire ever known in this city, visited us
last night. The flames first appeared in the
pattern shop OF b. D. Buford d Co.'S. plow
manufactury. Owing to the infamable ma
ture of the material, they spread with great
rapidity, the bursting of the gas pipes in the
building aiding them materially. There was
trouble with the water works and by three
O'CLOCK this entire building, 80 by $50 feet
aud three stories high was consumed. The
proprietors state their loss at $25O,OO0; in
surance, $4,000. Four hundred men are
thrown out of employment.

New YORK, Jan. 3.-The Tribune prints
over two pages of tabulated statements of the
mining industry in the United States. 1t
saws: 1t will be seen from the statistics we
present that the previous year has not been a
favorable one for speculative mining opera
tions. Stocks have, as a rule, gone down, and
distrust has taken the place Of buoyant and
exaggerated confidence. At the same time
the business, regarded as a productive indus
try, has more than held its own. The num-
ber of dividend paying companies has nearly
doubled, The total yield Of ore is remalka-
bly, steady, and an exceedingly good percent-
ag@ has been earned on capital actually in
vested in land, machinery and working
expenses, while the industry is constantly
expanding and conquering almost every month
new fields aud drawing to itself additional
forces in the way of capital and men.

Cabinet Making.

NEW YORK, Jan. 4.-The Times, Wash
Ington special says that some gents say that
the silterests of the Pacific section are enlarg-
ing SO rapidly that Garfield cannot, without
injustice to the far west, decline to select
man either from Colorado, California or Ore
gon for his cabinet, and Mills and Sergeant,
of California, Mitchell of Oregon, and Routt,
of Colorado are named prominently for
the place. A move for the south of Colora-
do seems to be the most popular, and the fact
shat Grant has expressed himself favorable to
Routt, should selection be made from that
section, Is increasing that gentleman's
strength with western men.
Senators Hill and Teller and Representative
Bedford have arranged to visit Mentor to
urge the selection of Routt, and at meeting
held by these gentlemen to-day it was decid-
ed that no efforts should be spared to press OH
Garfield the importance of recognizing what
is called the claims of The "Great New West. !"
1t is said that several other gentlemen repre-
senting the west will accompany the Colorado
delegation to Mentor.

Irish Trials.

court IN permitting the reading of the
speeches made in favor of the traversers to
take evidence concerning the speeches OF
Richard O'Shaugnessy with view to show
ing that the Limerick meeting was not char
acterized by violent tone; that the crown
sought to attribute to it. Judge Fitzgerald
remarked that that this was a long rigmarole
without any bearing on the issue of the trials
and, if they had any, in his sjudgment it would
be prejudical to the trayersers. 1t the de-
fense persisted in such course he said the
court would have to sit from 10 till q. The
proceedings, except for this incident, consist
ed of the reading of extracts from speeches
made by Parnell, Biggar, Dillon, Sexton,
Brennan and O'Sullivan, showing that the
traversers had encouraged tenants to hold
farms and pay no rent if the reduced rent was
not accepted. The land question would soou
be settled in Ireland, as it had been IN Ger
many, by their becoming the owners. At the
rising of the court Parnell was loudly cheeret
by the crowd.
