Tubridy has given full particulars in
court OF the murder OF a man named Ken
nedy by assassins, who were brought from
4 distance TO perform the deed. Tubridy
states that he. belonged to a secret society,
in which he was obliged by threats
TO continue. In January, 1882, the So
ciety was re0rganiZed, with the spc-
cial object OF killing landlords, agents,
and spies. The local leader was a
man named MacInerney. lie introduced

countries and formed societies. lie stated
that the Land League would supply the
society with arms, and promised that the

penSes incurred by men who were sent
out OF their districts. He also said mem
bers might have to 20 10 various parts OF
Ireland. and even to England, to shoot
landlords and agents. The name OF the

through the charity OF one Of the funds

They presented a pitiable picture Of dis

worldly effects in q sack or bundle.
BosToN, April l6.-The British steamer
HISTORIAN brought $50 passengers-most OF
them impoverished Irish people. sent over
at the expense OF the English Government.
The greater part are families, some Of which
number eight or ten members, while the
average is about five. The majority came
from Galway county-others from Mayo,
Deny, and Donegal. Most Of those from
Galway had been eyicted. The agent OF
the Government furnished money TO
those who desired TO go TO places
on the size Of the family-some receiving
a few shillings; others e., 90, e5, or .f6.
A great many of the men were farmers, but
seem undecided as to what they shall do
Some are goingto New York, others
10 Pittsburgh, Portland, Chicago, Canada,
and other places, while some remain in

NEW YORK, April 1G.-Maior John
Byrne, Of the Cincinnati Land League, has
written to General O'BeIrne, of the New

meeting OF the Rosa faction in New York
on the sth instant, expressing the belief
that Rosa and his fellows are paid agents
of England to injure the cause Of Ireland,
asserting that the meeting referred to has
caused much distress among the patriotic
friends Of Ireland i'm the West, and beg
cling that the conservative element at New
York take some reassurring action. The
letter condemned the dynamite policy, and
declares the true Land League policy to be
consistent with American citizenship and
respectable effort.
The following reply was te%legraphed:
NeU York, April 15.-Io MAJOR John
Bune, President United Land Leagues,
Cincinnati: New York has one wise and
responsible Irish element. This Is calm,
conservative, and determined, and sustains
Parnell. Don't heed brawlers and sore
heads. Newspaper publicity gives them
their only importance. Western men at

Heayy Failure In Pittsburgh.

PITTSBURGH, AprIl16. James Marshall *
Co.. iron-pipe manufacturers, one OF the
largest firms in the business, made an as
signment to-day to George J. Whitney for
the benefit Of creditors. Liabilities, $1,000
600: assets about $3.50. 600. The failure
was due to extensive speculation in pig
iron since 1879. James Marshall has been
purchasing largely OF pig-iron under
the belief that prices must advance.
The dullness OF trade after the long strike,
then the uncertainty as to what Congress
would do about the tariff, and finally the
absence Of the expected advance after the
tariff bill had been passed, all contributed
TO bring about the failure. The Pittsburgh
banks are tine largest creditors, but viii
lose nothing, as they have collaterals for
their loans which will realize the amour
Of paper held by them.
