WASHINGTON, May Especial, l--Sev.
eral correspondents of London papers have
suddenly appeared in this city, with u
view to look after the imaginary antici-
pated troubles between the two countries
on the Irish complication, and at the same
time, in their correspondence to their
various papers, to pander to, and try and
reunite the republican party, to protect the
power of said party aud enrich Johnny
Roach, the ship builder, and the other
pensioned and protected nobility, and keep
the democracy in the back ground.
Dodge, president of the Louisiana Pacific
road, has employed Painter, well known
lobbyist, to influence Teller, the cheap rec
retary of the interior, to grant the road
two million acres of Louisiana land.
Painter was the lobbyist for the
Union Pacific road, when Teller was its at
torney, and he, Dodge, and Painter are old
chums. Dodge will get the two million
acres. The insight into oil the frauds and
corruption in this city would make the
yerest rogue sick at the stomach. The
nausea is beginning to be felt throughout
the lanG and the stencil is awful, even to
contemplate.

A Tripartite.

CHICAGO. NAV The Times win say
"a tripartite agreement has been consum.
mated, the parties TO which are the Atch.
ison, Topeka Il Santa Fe, st. Louis & San
Francisco. and Atlantic & Pacific railroads.
Under this agreement the controlling In.
terest in the st. Louis & San Francisco
road is secured to the Atlantic & Pacific;
the latter agreeing to stop the construction
of its line west Of tho Colorado river for the
present, but to be permitted to eventually
complete the work to the Pacific coast,
making San Francisco its western ter.
minus, as originally contemplated. Should
the agreement be faithfully kept by other
parties, the Atlantic h Pacific will
not be permitted to reach San Francisco
for the full term OF the contract
twenty years, and the controlling interest
which II has secured in the St. Louis &
Santa Fe Is practically stoppage Of the ex.
tension of that line and equivalent to n
merging Of its franchise in the Atlantic &
Pacific. The connections OF this
line to the Pacific coast will be
from the Colorado river over the branch
of the Southern Pacific to Mohave, thence
by main line to San Francisco and Los Las
Angeles. The new arrangement goes into
effect at once.

THE PITTSBURG FIRE.
The Probable LOSS Estimated at 81 ,OOO,-
OOO-HOw the Fire Originated.

PITTsBURG, Oct. 3.-The magnificent
building of the Pittsburg Exposition on the
north bank of the Allegheny river have been
totally destroyed The immense structures,
with their almost endless variety OF exhibits
illustrative OF every branch of art,
science and mechanical skill, which
we're yesterday visited by thousands of
people, and since the opening on September
8 by hundreds of thousandt, is now mere
mass OF splinters and powdered embers and
curled and tangled iron. The destruction
is complete and nothing but the site re-
mains of the home Of specimens of brain and
Drawn in which Pittsburgers felt SO much
prlde.
The fire was first discovered in the boiler
room attached to Machinery Hall, at the
south end of the building, and before the
watchman could give the alarm the flames
had spread to Floral Hall, Machinery Hall
and the maia building, and in less than ten
minutes the buildings were on fire from
end to end, and when the Fire Depart
ment arrived on the ground the flames were
beyond control. Nothing was saved, and
the firemen turned their attention to saving
adjacent property, many residences on South
avenue being in flames. By hard work they
succeeded in saving all these, with no more
damage than the burning of cornices and
fences.
The loss win probably reach 81 ,000, 900.
Secretary patterson places the value of the
buildings destroyed at S150,000; the insur-
ance being 100000 The exhibitors will
sustain loss OF about 100000. An ire
parable loss was occasioned by the destruc-
tion of the relic department. The cash
value of the articles contained therein did
not exceed $4,000, but many cannot be
replaced In the annex, tho Arabian,
the first locomotive ever run in the United
States, was also destroyed. The Great
Western Band lose full set of splendid in
struments. In the safe were $4,000, the cash
receipts from yesterdays admissions, and
Levy's gold eornet. The money was reeov-
cred all right and the cornet is only slightly
discolored.
The buildings which were destroyed
were ere cted in 1875. The main building
was 600 feet long and $50 wide. Machinery
Hall was 400 feet long and $50 feet wide.
The other uildings were small.

THE SHOOTING OF CAREY.
O'Donneli's Account of AIS Quarrel With
tho Iuformer,

LONDON, Oct. 9.-Alexander NJ. Sullivan,
counsel for O'Dounell, has applied for a
postponemcnt of the trial to allow time for
the arrival of Greenhough and the officers
Of the Kiniauns Castle, whom he will sub
pena. He hopes to retain the service of
Charles Russell, Q. c., to assist him in de-
tending O'Donnell.
In an interview to-day Mr.. Sullivan out
lined his clients defense. According to his
statement, O'Donnell says he never su3-
pected "Power" to be Carey until the day
after the vessel reached Cape Town. He
had been attracted to Carey because be per-
ceived him to be a fellow-countryman, and
from his moody mysterious manner supposed
he might be "suspect" escaping.
The day after they left the Cape a rumor
was circulated about the ship that Carey
was aboard. O'Donnell was overcome BY
the idea that he had lived on the most
friendly terms with the informer. Next
morning he was much distressed by the un-
certainty as to whether or not "Power'' was
Carey, and he drank freely with the in
former to draw him out.
Carey, suspecting something, changed his
manner to O'DoDnell and, on going into the
saloon for beer, asked him what he had done
with his pistol.
"I sold it," O'Donnell replied dying, }
"but why are you afraid Onlya man who
had something on his conscience would be
afraid OF that" or words to that effect.
Carey took hectoring tone and said,
"O'Donnell you are ready to 60 off at half
cock"
He then grappled O'Donnell, who took
Carey's collar BY his left and paralyzed
hand.
Carey and he then each put their hands in
their pockets and drew ou5 pistols. O'Don-
nell fired with his right hand. Carey's re-
volver went Off and dropped on the floor.
The informer staggered forward, STOPPING
to pick up his weapon. Seeing this, O'Don-
nell fired again, aud Tom Carey then picked
up his fathers pistol.
1t will be remembered that young Carey
has sworn that his father did not have his
pistol with him at the time of the shooting.
Mr.. Sullivan says he is confident the young
man will be convicted of perjury on that
point.
Three hundred pounds were received from
America to-day as a contribution TO the
O'Donnell defense fund. When O'Donncll
was informed OF the circumstance he ex-
pressed himself as being very grateful, and
said that he knew the Americans would moi
forget him.
