in the loft of Fowler's livery stable situated
on Charles street. midway between Ohio and
Market and burned with surprising rapidity
north and south, destroying half square.
The entire central portion of the town was
only saved by the heroic work of the citizens
and light rain that started after the fire had
been raging an hour. The blaze was discov-
cred by James Hughes, a hostler, sleeping in
the office OF the stable, who was awakened by
sparks falling from above. Citizens were
awakened by the courthouse bell and hast
ened to the scene with buckets and managed
to save the courthouse, Jail and market
house. The fire apparatus, an old hand-en-
CINE, was of no account. The property de-
stroyed consisted of large two-story
brick owned and occupied by Hugh Barth
as a residence and general merchandise;
two-story frame house, stable and outbuild-
ings owned and occupied by John Charnock
as a residence and tin shop; two-story frame
and a story-and-a-half frame owned and &C.

story brick owned by Lowan and used as an

You may say that we carry back with us q
pleasant impression of the United States and

President Sullivan.
Chicago Special.

Chicago Special.
Alexander Sullivan, who was elected presl-
dent of the recognized Land League, eight
years ago narrowly escaped lynching at the
hands of the Infatuated Chicago people. He
had murdered Superintendent of Schools
Hannaford in cold blood, and only ESCAPED
through the exertions of the police The
facts in regard to that crime were as follows:
Sullivan in 1875 was a reporter on the Chicago
Times. His wife differed from and
! antagonized Superintendent Hannaford
Sullivan's wife, an editorial writer on the
Times used the columns of that paper to at
tack Hannaford. and the latter replied
through the columns of an educational
xnonthly edited by him. The controversy
became very bitter. and as Mrs Sullivan
rather represented the Roman Catholic ele-
ment in this city, the quarrel partook some
what of the nature of a sectarian squabble
One night Alexander Sullivan, to.ether with
his wife and his brother, went in hack to
Hannaford's residence on Dearborn avenue
As the two drove up Hannaford was water
ing his grass plot His wife and
children sat upon the veranda. The
Sulliyans alighted and renewed the quarrel
Hannaford said that the place was his home
chat his wife and children were about him.

II came here" said Finerty, without any
desire upon my part to be present 1 agreed
with Mr. Parnell that the meeting was I'M
necessary at this particular time, or at least,
that it had better be postponed until he could
be present Having come here, I entered
into no clique or caucus of any sort, butheld
entirely aloof, hoping that the discussion
would be free, and that even if the delegates
differed they would, at least, be listened to
with some kind of independence. [ opposed
the original gag resolution of the Rev. DR..
OReilly on general principles, not believing
that we in this country should emulate the
proceedings of the British Parliament ia ri
erence to Irish members. This act of mine
was interpreted in some manner as
an act of factiousness. Several
newspapers have INDUCED in what

of my utterances and misconstruction of my
views. | shall pay no attention to them,
because it will not do any good. l was con-
WINGED from the temper of the convention in
that proceeding that free speech was out of
the question, and that those who were op-
posed to gag law would be squelched.
Whether the motives of the gentlemen who
opposed the gag reSOlutlOnS were SOOu Ut
evil does not concern me. | only opposed
the principle that in a convention which
seeks for the liberty of race, the principle
of liberty in the matter of opinion ought to
be maintained It was the same idea that
led me to-day to oppose the adoption as a
whole of the resolutions introduced by the
committee. believe that one of those reso-
buttons was particularly offensive, although
l viii say not Intentionally SO. That was
the one which had reference to Immigration
and in which the word pauper figured
too prominently to be respectful to the
unfortunate Irish people who may be driven
out here by the English system of misgov-
ernment 1 supposed that some indulgence
would be granted for debate on the resolu-
tons, or l certainly would have had my say
when | made the objection. Having made
the objection, it was evident that the sensl-
bilities of the gentlemen in power had been
ruffled, and the result was that a gag motion
was again adopted by an overwhelming ma
jority. As regards the rest of the proceed
ings, desire to express no opinion, and am
content to leave them as they are"
Mr.. Finerty would not answer the ques-
ton whether he was satisfied with the officers
of the new league. II think, said he, that
the sober second thought of the Irish Ameri-
can people will condemn the hasty action of
the convention in the matter of the resolu-
tons. as they will discover that they have es-
tablished bad precedent in the matter of
free legislation l want it distinctly under
stood that | acquit the rank and file of the
convention of any dishonest motive"

A Number of Persons Killed by Cyclone in
Texas--DamaGe by Hail-Storms.

New ORLEANS Auril 26.-The Times-Demo-
crat Wesson special says there were two more
deaths at Wesson to-day, little son of ]. T.
Gibson and Mrs, Finch. The damage by the
cyclone at Beauregard is now estimated at
$3.50 600. A singular fact in connection with
the cyclone may even now be mentioned
There were about forty persons of Jewish
extraction in Beauregard during the cyclone
All of them were picked out of the debris
and not one was seriously injured.
The wounded are all comfortably provided
with clean bedding and necessary under
clothing. Delicacies are constantly sent
them. Many were removed, but forty three
are still unable to be moved. There will be
religious service here Sunday at the Episco-
pal Church. The only Methodist church is
used as headquarters for the Red Cross CO.
ciety. The Baptist Church is injured so
badly as to be considered dangerous. In
Beauregard the churches were blown to
splinters.
Colonel J. L. Powers. of Jackson, Miss,
teleeraphs ga letter from French Camp
gives some particulars of the storm in Choc-
taw and Alfalfa counties. The cyclone orig
mated six miles west of French Camp, Sun
day morning at 10 o'clock, travelled north
westerly, increasing in force until it left
Choctaw in the extreme northeastern cor
ner. Its track was nearly a mile wide and
thirty long. The destruction of property
was complete Hundreds were stripped of
everything but land. Ten persons were
killed and many wounded. Lebanon Pres
byterian Church was destroyed. At 1890
the cyclone struck Alfalfa county from the
southwest, taking a diagonal course through
that county and Choctaw, parallel with the
10 o'clock storm. In places it was two miles
wide. 1t took up Yokanooccany creek, on
the west side, until it came to Beechita,
which it followed several miles, prostrating
the whole swamp and desolating farms. The
number killed by the last storm is not
known, but many were wounded. 1t will be
impossible for the sufferers to make crops
unless assisted"

Disgust of the Rosa Party.

New York Special.
The Irish agitators of the dynamite school
are not at all pleased with the outcome OF
the Philadelphia convention. Disgust is a
mild term with which to describe their feel
ings on the subject. At the Office of Mr.
ODonovan Rosa a number of the Brother
hood men were gathered to-day, but Rosa
himself had not returned from Philadelphia
They were loud in their condemnation of the
convention and the manner in which its pro-
ceedings were conducted. 1t was intimated
that as soon as Rosa and the other delegates
return a meeting will be held for the purpose
of repudiating the action of the convention
and for calling another, in which the views
of the "Dynamiters'' can be fully ventilated
Mr.. Patrick Joyce the secretary of the
Irish Revolutionary Brotherhood, said to-
day: Agitation does not amount to a pinch
of snuff, and never will. They can preach it.
talk about it, and write about it until dooms-
day, and all the effect it will have upon Eng
land will be TO make her smile. Three or
four men are under sentence of death in Eng
land now-that is a palpable result of the
Land-ieague agitation Extreme measures
only will secure the emancipation of Ireland
We are receiving encouraging communica-
tions from all quarters, urging us not to be
discouraged by the action of the convention.
Ny idea is that the only way to secure the
emancipation of Ireland is with dynamite
and revolution. Only such measures will
make England quake with fear, and lower
her among nations. England to-day laughs
as she reads the newspaper accounts of what
transpired at Philadelphia; but there are
still enough determined, earnest men banded
together to free Ireland by force of arms
Persuasive arguments and new ideas may lead
many away from u.s. but for every such weak
creature a score of recruits will be received
MEAN MAN.
Gath's Gossip.
ODonovan, who also calls himself Rosa,
is well-formed, whitelivered, nervous and
twitching Celt of the red order. His look is
uneasy and indirect, like any man who comes
into great, frank, liberty loving body to re-
prove it for not using the dagger and poison
TO achieve its high results. Such man in
such presence will inevitably feel mean
O'Donovan looked mean. He looked like an
outcast like a man in the dock. He sat
apart, rejected, uninfuential, unconsulted, a
spectacle OF moral worthlessness exhibiting
itself before the parliament of his cause. a
guerilla and Quantrell at a council of war
The black flag he carried seemed reflected in
his cavernous introverted eyes. How could
he look any better with such assassin princ-
piles in the face of the clergymen of his race,
whose examples we're Jesus and Paul?
