sumption of the bowels, after an illness
of seventy-one days. DR.. Edwin Fray,

at the time Of his decease his weight was
a trife over thirty pounds. During his
long life, Mr.. Perry never used tobacco
nor liquor until during his last sickness.

IRISH LEADERS WANTED.

Sheridan, Walsh and Number One,
! lyman Indicted by the Dublin
| Grand Jury.-A Sensation Caused
by an Expected Demand from Hri.
tain for Their Extradition.
A Dublin dispatch of the 81 says; The
grand iury has resumed true bills against
Peter lyman number one), John Walsh and
P. J. Sheridan, and a bill as accessory to the
murder after the fact against Fitz Harris.
Walsh and Sheridan are III America and Ty-
nan is supposed to to be there also. 1t is
understood that the government will demand
their extradi,ion from America.
The London Times says: If a demand
for the exuadition OF lyman, Walsh and
| Sheridan be made. it will be based, not
on the charge OF general conspiracy, which
must be held a mere political aspect, but on
| specific criminal accusation.
A Washington dispatch says: No com
INJUNCTION has been received by the British
| legation in this city from the home goverJ-
ment with regard to the extradition of any
of the Irishmen now in the United States
who have been recently accused OF crime in
Great Britain.
A great deal of interest is manifested as
10 the result of the expected deuland for
the extradition of the Irish consplrators ia.
dicted in Dublin to day, and suspected to
be in this country. The twenty-seventh
article of the Jay treaty Of 1874, reads as
follows:
1t is further agreed that her majesty and
the United States, on mutual acquisitions
by hen respectively; or by their re-
spectiye ministers or officers author
izsd to make the same, -ill deliver up
to justice all persons who being charged
with murder or forgery committed within
the jurisdiction of either, shall seek
N asylum within any of the
countries of the other, provided that this
shall only be done on such evidence of
criminality as, according to the laws OF the
place where the fugitive or person SO charg-
ed shall be found. woald justify his appre-
hension and commitment for trial. il the
offence had there been committed. The
expense OF such apprehension and delivery
shall be borne and betrayed by these who
make the requisition and receive the iugi-
tive.
1t is clear, under this treaty, which has
never been modified, except to be extended
with reference 10 extradition. that our gov
ernlnent will be Obliged to surrender the
men if found, provided a prima iscie case Is
made against them.
Patrick J. Sheridan since coming to Anefi-
ca has been employed in the office OF the
Irish World. He has heretofore claimed TO
have been in France at the tiI.e of The Imur-
ders. In an interview this evening, he said:
| Elm not greatly alarmed about the in
q ctment. ! see no reason for apprehen.
SION. l stand here coolly and iearlessly
awaiting the result other worst efforts.
He declined u state where he was at the
time of the murders, saying when he was
placed on trial he would answer that ques-
ton.

The tragedy at Devils Lake by which
two young men lost their lives is greatly
to be regretted. Many lives have been
loetin striving for valuable claims at the
west, and therefore this tragedy has
often its counterpart, but it is no less
ed on that account. The dead are al
rest but the living participants will be
subject through life to remorseful pangs,
and it will be strange indeed if they are
not followed by such mis'ortnnes as W.

Park Band, Plead Guilty And Are
Sentenced to Swing
DUBLIN. May 2.-Patrick Delaney and
-homas Catfrey, two more of the men
charged with participation in the murder OF
C~avendish and Burke. were ar1aigned for
trial his morning. They created a eensa-
ton by pleading guilty, Both we're seutenc-
ed to be hanged June 2. Before Cafirev had
pleaded guilty he was informed by his So
licitors that the crown gave no hope of
mitigation of the sentence of death, which
would be passed upon him. When Delaney
was called npon to plead he said:
am guilty of being in the park at the
time Lord Frederick Cayendish and Mr..
Burke were killed;
The judge explained to him that this req!
ly amounted to a plea of innocence. Del
aney formally pleaded guilty he said:
l was brought INTO this act at first fool
lshly, not knowing what it was. l was
iorcedfrom work to go to the park. We had
to obey orders OF the secretary or take the
consequences. When ( got into the park l
could not get away. l saw the murders
ommltted, but took no part in them. l

own. was put up to shoot him by Mullet
and Brady, and the only way to escape the
TASK was by calling the guards attention.
Judge O'Brien, in passing sent nee on
Delaney, said he had a duty 10 perform. He
bad at the previous trial Of the prisoner for
attempting to shoot Judge Lawson, pitied
him because he showed some feeling tor his
wife and family. The prisoner would see
TO what misery they had been brought by
the wicked system OF conspiracy.
When Cattrey was placed in the dock, the
consequence Of his pleading guilty was
again lully explained to him in open court,
but ne persists in his plea. On being asked
whether he had anything to say Why SEN
lence should not e passed on him, Caifrey
replied IN a loud, clear voice:

Drink OF the grave, is that l did not know
what was going TO happen until twenty
minutes before the murders were COM
mltled. | was bound to 60 to the park

The Judge in passing sentences said there

clue that 1t was necessarily wholly IN

London Times on the Irish Con.
yenti0E.

The Times in an editorial says: The
Irish convention at Philadelphia began
with q clap-trap of folly and malignity,
and closed after the same fashion. The
whole scene would be painful. were it
not supremely ridiculous. The only
practical suggestion made b. the V
ton for injuring Great Britain is the adj
vice to the people Of Ireland to buy
nothing from England unless obliged to-.
1t is a confession of Importance when
Irish malace is driven to such a paltry
expedient, which, if tried would only
injure its %adopters. The lesson for
Great Britain is to ignore the Irishmen,
and abandon all hope of bringing them
to a better frame of mind by the contin-
uance of unmerited favors. They have
already convinced the rest ofthe world

History of a Washington Lot.

IittsDurRh Dlspatch: Henry. Clay
once owned the lot opposite the White
house, in Washington, and Commodore
John Rogers wanted it, but the old wing
persistently refused to dispose of it.
On his return from the Mediterranean
the commodore brought in one of lis
vessels a fine Andalusian jackass which
Clay wanted for his Kentucky stock
farm. All his offers were rejected until
one day the commodore said: eYou
can have him for your lot opposite the
white house." Done" was Clay's re-
ply, and the animal was shipped off to
Kentucky. The commodore now built
the historic house which Secretary Sew
ard occupied during the war. Here
Payne endeavored to assassinate him on
the night when Lincoln was shot. The
lot is now valued at $4,000.

Der, 1880, for $4,000 600 Northern Paci-
fc 6 per cent. bonds, have within the past
few days sold the remaining $4,000, 900,
thereby bringing to a successful issue
the largest railway bond negotiation as
yet consumlnated in this country. This

Puget Sound and Alaska, wa burned on
the ID inst, and sixty l~ivesare reported
lost. The steamer burned four miles off
Seymour Narrows. The fire being dis
covered. the engineer immediately re-
ported to the captain. The 100 passen-
gers, principally Cinnamon, were sill
abed. Immediate search wal made bv
the captain, who discovered fire back of
the boiler connections. The engineer
started the donkey and connected the
hose. By this time the passengers were
warned and the excitement was intense.
the Cinnamon behavedike maniacs, be-
ing utterly uncomfortable, and impeding
the officers. The captain ordered all shot
who refused to obey orders. Not
w~ithstanding this, the Cinnamon rushed
backward and forward on the vessel
until 1T was found necessary to
knock some down and carry below
others, ironed. All this time the fire
was gaining. and efforts to con-
troll it were entirely unavailing, The
captain ordered Pilot franklin to head
the steamer for the Vancouver shore
and beach her. AS soon as the sands
Were struck boats were lowered, but the
excitement was so great that the China
men jumped into the boats and swamp
ed them, and, owing to the binding
smoke, those who could swim did not
know which way to strike out, and, be-
ing surrounded by a mass of struggling
were drowned.
