turned last evening from Grand Rap

river, carried away by the pressure of
the drift logs, lies in such position
that it cannot be raised until the

have to be built at Grand Rapids, or
other appliances brought to the scene
of the disaster, in order to lift the

Two of the Phoenix Park assassins, De laney and Cafrey, upon being called uI for sentence plead guilty, but laid the bur. dens of the crime on their associates. They were sentenced, nevertheless, to be hanged with the rest, having been warned that it was too late to secure clemency by confession. Delaney then formally plead ed guilty, and said 'I was brought into this at first foolishly, not knowing what it was. I was forced from my work to go to the park. We had to obey the orders of the society or take the consequences. When got in the park I could not get away. I saw the murders committed, but took no part in them. went to the park on Kavanagh's car. He speaks the truth, so does Carey. The murders were com mitted by Joe Brady and Timothy Kelly and by nobody else. I saved Judge Law sons life at the risk of my own. was put on to shoot him by Mullett and B1ady. The only way to escape the task was by calling the guards attention" Judge O'Brien, in passing sentence on Delaney, said he had duty to perform. He had at Iue pIoflOuS Ir1al or the prisoner TOT at- tempting to shoot Judge Lawson, pitied him because he showed some feeling for his wife and family. The prisoner would see to what misery they had been brought by the wicked system of conspiracy When Cafrey was placed in the dock his face wore Q smile. The consequence of pleading guilty was fully explained to him in open court, but he persisted in his plea On being asked whether he had anything to say why sentence should not be passed upon him he replied in loud, clear voice : "An I have got to say, standing on the brink of the grave, is that did not know what was going to happen until 20 min- utes before the murders were committed. was bound to go to the park under pain of death. " The judge, in passing sentence, said there were no means of judging the truth of the prisoners statement. He did not decide that it was necessarily wholly untrue. There are now five men condemn ed to death for the Phoenix Park murders Brady, Curley, Pagan, Delaney and Caf- frey,

The possibilities of electricity are appar- ently boundless, and almost every day brings forth some new invention for its application to useful purposes. One of the latest of these is the Portable Electric Lighter, which is now manufactured in this city, and which is exhibited at Mo- p Water street. This is in effect small chemical battery, occupying space of five square inches, and weighing but five pounds with all it's fittings. By pressing upon knob the current is produced, a strip of platinum is heated to incandes- cence, and light instantaneous. This can be carried from room to room and placed upon the desk or the table. At a slight additional expense it can be so arranged as to ring an alarm or signal bell, or to light gas in any part of the house. The contrivance is novel, simple, convenient and cheap.-BOston Courier

The Legislature.

An adjournment is expected to be reach ed to-day.
 W. E. Simonds of Canton was speaker pro tenn of the house of representatives, and yielded the gavel for most of the last week of the session. MT. Simonds has taken a leading position in the house, not withstanding the wiseacres delegated another to that place early in the session. The mistake of not making him speaker is now generally recognized. Should he be returned to the house next winter, he will doubtless find his place in the speak CTS desk, and both contingencies will be to the advantage of the state.
 Efforts to materially weaken the strin- gent license laws have generally failed The ulty commissioners were to have power to permit of connection between sa- loon or dwelling, but in the absence of 8 decided permitsuch connection was prohib- ited. Applicants for license also were priv l . ed, as they should be, to select the pa per in which they will advertise notice of application. But owing to disagreement between the two branches no changes were made.

THE Irish convention at Philadelphia has been harmonious gathering, the dy- namite men being kept quite in the back ground, though some of them were OF hand, and industrious in the dissemination of their fendish doctrines. The gather ing was controlled by able men of con- servative ideas. The result is the organ ization of a national Irish league, of which Alexander Sullivan of Chicago is presi. dent, and John Byrne of Cincinnati vice president. The avowed object of the league is to sustain the Irish National League in Ireland to instruct American sympathisers as to the political, industrial and social condition of Ireland to encour age Irish manufacturers by promoting their importations in the United States and in like manner discountenance the use of the products of England in word, te unite Irishmen, and to keep alive feel ing of affection for Ireland, it's language and music, its traditions and history.

Feat Dallas known as CASTOR. The
people all preferred doing business
with the city Office. The new Office
was in existence year, and 5000 in
habitants never sent or received a
solitary piece of mail matter, not so
much as postal card
Much quiet interest is manifested
here among telegraph operators over
the anticipated strike. Every tele-
graph operator in the Dallas office,
next of Importance in Texas to that
at Galveston, and employing upwards
of twenty men, belong to the brother
hood, and the force will go with the
strikers. The managers state that
office will be able to muster sufficient
force to do the limited amount of bus
inesS that will be absolutely neceS-
sary.

Philip Sanger president. Isadore

cation starts with thirty five male
members, the wealthiest and most in

The Herald on the Telegraphers.

NEW YORK, July 1.-THE Herald
editorially says of the threatened
strike of the Brotherhood of Tele-
graphers that, although their petition
Is couched in respectful terms, it
leaves the impression of asking too
much. 1t requests that a days work
be made eight instead of nine hours,
and nights work seven, instead OF
eight hOurS-a reduction of one-ninth
in one case and one-eighth in the
other. AT the same time it wants all
wages increased 10 per cent,
irrespective of age, skill or position of
the operators, besides extra compensa-
ton for Sunday work. The real effect
of these demands will be best illus
trated by an example,: Day operators
receive SO per month; on counting
nine hours to the day and six days
in the week, about thirty-five cents
per hour. Under the proposed rate
monthly wages will be $S6.2o, days
work be eight hours during six days
in the week, or about forty-fiVe cents
per hour actual, an increase of more
than 27 per cent. In regard to Wheat
stone operators an increase of 65 per
cent is demanded. On the whole it
may be doubted whether the opera
tors have presented strong case,
and the evils that may exist cannot be
questioned, but they will not be
remedied by the course taken. The
executive committee of the Western
Union telegraph company will meet
tomorrow and the petition of the
operators then will be brought to
their consideration. One of the Off
GERS of the company said to-day that
it was impossible to say what action
would be taken, but the general opin-
ion was that the demand was eXceS-
sive and unreasonable. No action
has yet been taken by the Mutual I'm
ion, American Rapid or Baltimore
and Ohio companies.
