What PntricH hhShh nays About NJ.
where Her Charges Originated.
CHICAGO, March 29.-In reply to the re-
cent charges ofLady Florence Dixie against
Patrick Eagan the latter said in an inter
view to-day, in regard to Lady Dixie's as
sertion that she did not know Richard
Piggott, that pamphlet Of eighty pages
was placed in the hands Of Dublin print
ing firm last September, containing the
prossest charges against the Land League.
II had page introduction signed by Lady
Dixie, but the rest OF the pamphlet was in
Piggott's handwriting aud proofs were sent
him, After q dozen or more copies were
printed Lady Dixie became frighten-
ed at the array Of charges and
caused all the books to be destroyed and
the plates broken. Mr.. Eagan says he
has copy Of the pamphlet and Is aware
that all Lady Dixie's statements were taken
from It. As TO to her call on Egan to prove
his denial Of her charges he says she has
no standing from which TO attack the
League at all. She has never subscribed
a penny nor pretended TO have any SYM
pathy with the League and is not an Irish
woman. She Is not daughter Of the Peer.
Her recent fabrication about the bogus
attack on her should show what value there
Is in anything she says he repeats the
story that Piggott, as editor OF the Lrishmdn,
told him that Dublin Castle officials had
offered Piggott g50O 10 publish fictitious
statements OF Land League accounts In his
paper. Piepott offered to repress these
statements for eS0o, which Egan refused 10
give. Egan says these statements are the
same as those promulgated BY Lady Flor
! ence against the League,

THE BRAIDWOOD NINE.
A Proposition to Give Up the Search and
Close the Mine.


CHICAGO, March 29.-Despairing Of over.
coming the obstruction in the Braidwood
mine, which now makesd difficult the search
for the remaining bodies, a correspondent
states that the owners are considering q
proposition to close and abandon the

Of the sixty.frst' Street Methodist Episco-
pal Church, will preach his farewell SER
mon as q Methodist clergyman on Sunday
evening next, and at the session Of the
New York East Conference. which will

mally sever his connection with the, ,Metho-

come convinced that he should join the
Protestant Episcopal Church, and It Is his
intention TO take clerical orders in that de.
nomination as soon as may be. When asked
his reasons for leaving the Methodist min
istry lastevening, Mr.. Parker said he didnot
care to make any public statement at pres.
ent, and he had not yet decided to make
any statement at any time. He left the
Methodist Church, not through any spirit
OF disaffection, he said, and with only the
kindliest feelings for its leaders and ia peo.
pie. The itinerant plan OF the Methodist
denomination, which permits no Pastor TO
remain in one charge more than three sue.
cessive years, nor more than three years in
any six, was one Of his strong reasons for
going into the Episcopal Church. Mr..
Parker has been q well.known Pastor OF
churches in this city and its vicinity for
number Of years, and he has many friends
among the Methodists who will regret the
choice he has made. The Sixty. First Street

NEW York, March 2o.-Jay Gould's an.
swer in the first suit Of William S. Williams
against the Western Union Telegraph Com.
pany and others, in the Superior Court,
was served to-day. The suit is brought in
reference TO the consolidation between the
Western Union, American Union, and At
lantic & Pacific Telegraph Companies.
The answer is general denial Of the alle-
cations in the complaint Gould alleges
that at the meeting oi February 8, 1881,
and January 10th and February Sd, agree.
ments for the consolidation were ratified by
a vote OF 90S,225 shares in favor Of 600
against. At the same meeting sos, ,lS0
shares were voted in favor OF increasing
the capital stock to s0,000,000 dollars, and
100 shares voted against II. The meeting
was valid, and was legally held; none OF
the stockholders Of the Western Union
Telegraph Company dissented from the
stock dividend except William and Rufus
Hatch, who held but 600 shares between
them. The effect of this agreement, he
AYERS, was to increase the market value OF
Western Union stock, and the injunction
which the plaintiff obtained depressed the
market value OF these stocks. Gould de-
clares the shares are readily convertible
into cash, and II the plaintiff did not desire
to retain the investment It was easy for him
to convert them.

WASHINGTON, March 20.-The presiden-
tial possibilities in the case Of General
John A. Logan was one Of the subjects Of
conversation between correspondent and
prominent Democratic member OF the
last Maryland Congressional delegation on
q Baltimore & Potomac train TO day. The
gentleman referred to is one whose voice
has at times been quite power in National
Democracy, and his idea Of the opportuni-
ties now available for either side is there.
fore interesting. Logan has been can.
didate for long time, and Lincoln is one
by virtue Of his name and his present sur
roundings. There is plenty Of room
for the belief that Logan and. Lincoln
are being antagonized, but 1t is not
safe to say they are antagonizing each
other. Logan was very much chagrined
that he was not selected to fill the breach
caused by the failure Of the third term
scheme Of the Grant men at Chicago, but
he made the most OF it, and secured rep
resentative in the Garfield administration
in the person Of Bob Lincoln. Then he
spoke early enough to have Lincoln re-
tanned in Arthur's Cabinet. So you see
Lincoln is empbatically Logan's own man,
and 1t Is foolish TO Say that they are now
personally at odds on matter so very far
from settlement as is the presidential nom
ination. | am rather inclined 10 think
that each knows the hand OF the other;
that Lincoln will not interfere with Logan
II Logan can win, and that Logan will do
bis best to have Lincoln win II he himself
cannot do 80. Now, the question is, can
Logan win? 1t must not be forgotten by
the Republicans that there ia a man named
Blaine who is far from dead yet, or who, If
he is dead as far as his own nomination Is
concerned, has life enough left TO prevent
the nomination Of stalwart. 1t is quite
probable also that the stalwarts are strong
enough TO prevent the nomination OF an
extreme "hslfbreed," and 80, ii seems 10
an outsider like myself, that the Republi.
cans will have 10 look for man who
either has little learning either way or
who can please both factions. That Is
where such man as Lincoln may come
forward. He has been identified with a
stalwart administration and with a
''straightout," he comes from an advau-
tageous locality, and he has the prestige
Of a name that would bring him many
votes. l would not be greatly surprised II
he should receive the next Republican
nomination; and II he does not, think he
Is young enough to at least be heard from
in the same connection later on"

WASHINGTON, March 2s.-Dr. Hicks,
Guiteau's alleged spiritual adviser, has
been pleasantly out Of the public thought
here for several weeks. This appears TO
have been too much for him, and yester-
day he entered suit against the Baltimore
american for repeating story, universally
current here soon after the hanging, that
he had disposed OF Guiteau's bones. He
also announced that his attorney had been
instructed to sue all the papers that had
printed this story. AS every one is at q
loss to see wherein the articles complained
OF contain any libel, the conclusion is
general that DR.. Hicks is seeking notoriety.

A Midnight Battle for Loves sake In
Pittsburgh Graveyard.

Pittsburgh Graveyard.
PITTSBURGH, March 20.-An evening
paper prints the following story: This
morning a reporter learned the particulars
OF one Of the most peculiar battles that
it has ever been his duty to record.
It appears that young man named
Thompson and another, whose name could
not be learned, have been paying endear-
ing attentions to the sameyoung lady, and,
although the two youths have been friends
for years, a quarrel over the fair bone OF
contention Is one OF the events which
might have been expected, and meeting on
Fifth avenue near Stevenson street, last
night, they got into conversation on the
subject of their mutual charmer, and at
last one informed the other that notwith-
standing the ties OF friendship which had
bound them together 80 long, both could
not bask in the sunshine oil the fair ones
smiles, and that there must be settlement
as to the question OF "the best man." After
that he was willing to shake hands and
make friends
To this proposition the other assented,
and alter going to the residence oil two
brothers, who were mutual friends OF the
rivals, as seconds, they went back to the
abandoned buryipg ground on Stevenson
street, and after divesting themselves OF
their coats, went at it savagely. The fight
developed into savage rough and tumble,
and both were kicked and bruised about
the body, although the features Of neither
suffered very much. After the fight had
continued for over half an hour, with
breathing spells at intervals, they were
parted, and, being persuaded by their two
friends, finally agreed to shake and make
up.
And now, as they were separated before
either was declared victor, the question
arises, who is to lay claim to tine lady's
affections, and il he does, will she accept
