The Dublin Tragedy.

The London Observers Dublin dis
patch says: From information that the
assassins are still in this city the con-
clusiOn is drawn that they are afraid
that if they should be separated one
would turn traitor. Information gath
cred on Saturday shows at least IL
were engaged in the tragedy. 1t is
believed that in the cab which stood
near the scene of the murder and lott
ering under the trees were armed men
ready to effect "a rescue in case the act
ual assassins were surprised. The po-
lice have now issued descriptions of
four of the men on the car. Two of
them are described as being about 30
years of age, with sandy hair, one
about b, of stout build and dark COM
plexion, with hollow on the bridge
of his nose, and the other about 20,
with small black mOustache. The
driver is described as between % and
40. with a red, blOated face.
The New York Tribune LOndOn's
special says: All controversy as to
whether the assassins really intended
to murder Lord Frederick Cavendish
has ceased. now that it is universally
understood that he was deliberately
selected as a victim. The latest intel
ligence indicates the belief of the pO-
lice that Earl Spencer also would have
been murdered had the opportunity
favored. Nobody longer denies that
the assassinations were planned for a
distinct political purpose. This was
the Irish answer to England's latest
message of peace.
There is reason to believe that the
assassins had intended to murder
eight persons.
Lord Frederick Cavendish left no
children. His wife, charming wO-
man, has two sisters living, one mar
ried to Mr.. Talbot, member for the
University of Oxford, the other to his
brother, Warden of Keble College, Ok
ford.

Sunday Disasters.

As Eugene Lalime, and George Wal
ker were sailing on Lake Champlain
at Burlington, Sunday, the boat was
overturned. Both men clung to the
boat, but before assistance could reach
them Lalime, benumbed by the cold,
lost his hold and was drowned. His
companion was rescued. Lalime leaves
wife and young children.-News has
been received from White Bear lake,
Mimi, of the drowning of G. ID. w.
Young, auditor of the Chicago, st. Paul
and Omaha railroad, and Stewart
Moore, chief clerk in the freight office
of the Northern Pacific railroad, both
of st. Paul, and c. c. GOssack of Shak
opee, living at the lake for the summer.
They went out for sail Sunday morn
ing and have not been seen since.
Two hats and broken rudder have
been found on the shore, but the boat
and the bodies are still missing.
TWELVE PERSONS DRowNED.-Capt.
Napoleon Bucklin, 30, an old sea-cap-
tain recently from Maine, his two sons,
Ben and James, II and II years of age
respectively, John Smith, %, foreman
in the car department of the Pullman
works, Charles F. Pierce, 46, II. |.
Moore, IS, w. O. Burns, %, young
man named Foster, Mr.. Davis, 45, and
three other men whose names are not
given were drowned in Lake Calumet
ut Pullman, H., by the upsetting of a
boat Sunday evening. They had gone
ont for "A pleasure-ride although the
lake was very rough and though they
were urged by their friends not to ven
ture out. The capsizing of the boat
was witnessed by many people on
shore, including the wife and daughter
of Capt. Bucklin. When the boat
went over there was a scene of terror
on shore. As soon as possible three
boats were manned and put out to
save the victims, who were seen bat
Ting in the waves, but, although they
got within mailing distance of the hap
less persons, it was impossible to do
anything owing to the terrible condi-
ton of the lake. Several of the rescu-
ing party had narrow escapes from
drowning. All the persons were well
known in Pullman. The bodies of
Smith and one of the Bucklin boys
have been recovered. Bucklin leaves
ii wife and five daughters, Smith a
wife and child and Oliver a wife.
Pierce and Moore were carpenters from
Blisstield, Mich, and each leaves a
family there

Mr.. Gunther reported resolution calling
on the secretary of war for information as 10
whether the dam constructed for the improve
| ment of Fox and Wisconsin rivers was not
|. one OF the principal agencies in producing a
high stage of water in Lake Winnebago dur
ing the fall of 1881, and whether the dam
cannot be lowered. Adopted.
The House then went into Committee OF
the Whole, Mr.. Joyce in the chair, on the pri-
vate calendar.
The first bill ON the calendar, authorizing
the President TO appoint d. I. Kirby to be
captain in the army, gave rise to a long dis
custom. Colonel and Brevet. General Kirby
was cashiered out of the army for drunken
ness and conduct unbecoming officer.
The opponents of the bill commended that
with that record staring Congress in the face
it could not afford to grant the relief asked
for. The advocates of the measure declared
that the findings of the court-martial were
unjust and to a certain extent illegal, and
that even though Kirby had been guilty OF
indiscretions, his gallantry on the field ought
To more than counterbalance them.
Finally vote was taken on laying the bill
aside for favorable consideration. Agreed
to by vote of So to 50.
The committee then rose and reported the
bill to the House.
Mr. Bragg Wis Immediately moved to
adjourn, but yielded TO Mr.. Hiscock \. Y.
to report the immediate deficiency appropri-
alton bill, and to Mr.. Blackburn XVI TO re-
port the military academy appropriation bill.
Mr.. Bragg's motion to adjourn was rejected
and the bill for the relief of Kirby or
dered engrossed and read a third time.
Mr. Bragg called for the reading of the en-
crossed bill, hoping to delay action upon it,
but the advocates of the measure had had
the bill engrossed beforehand, and it was read.
The bill then passed by vote of 81 to So.
Mr.. Houck Tenn. offered a resolution
instructing the Appropriation Committee TO
inquire whether any disparity exists between
the salaries of the Senate and House EN-
ployes, and authorizing the committee in
such event to report some measure for equal
izing the same. Referred.

CINCINNATI.
General Business QHiet-Grain Lower
Provisions Firm.

CINCINNATI, February 10.-The feature OF
business this week has been the sharp decline
the past lew days. Corn has fallen with reg
ular steps day after day, although business
has been active. There is largely increased
legitimate demand for corn here coming from
points in the South. Besides that, the amuse-
ment of buying and selling futures has grown
since the establishment OF the grain call
board; hence:the daily transactions are ten
times what appeared year ago. No. ?
mixed corn fell TO 629c to-day. Wheat has
also grown heavy, and although there were
more sales to-day, the price was dropping,
sales being made at the close at 81 "a. Oats
have not suffered great decline, the loss
being but lie. Rye has fallen from
81 OF to 95c. Barley is unsettled,
with not much demand, and prices
are nominal. Flour has declined, family
going as low as Sc. Whisky has been steady
in price, but fuctuating As 10 the demand.
Hogs continue high and moderately firm.
Lard huctuates, but close tirmer at II Csc.
Bulk meats and bacon have advanced in
price during the week and closed firm. The
packing soon to close will show a
marked falling off from the products of last
year. Money is less active, but the rates re-
main firm at per cent. Eastern exchange
is in fair demand; rates buying and selling
are par. The general business has not been
active. In some branches there is more than
usual dizziness. Boots and shoes seem hard
to move under the recent advance in prices
The weather has been bad, and sales and
collections throughout the country are slow.
