The Testimony of an Informer.


 LIMERICK, April 26.-The examination of the fourteen men arrested in county Glare charged with conspiracy to murder was be- gun today at Ennis. The convict informer John Tubbridy was the principal witness. He testified that as 8 stranger he had attend ed several meetings in Ennis whose object was the formation of societies for the pur- pose of murdering landlords, bailiffs and all officers sent to interfere with the land league programme or to pro- tect those against whom the agitators had decided. He swears that those meetings were made possible by assistance of the land league leaders by whom money for the neces- sary expenses was furnished. The men un- der arrest are all comparatively well to do farmers or tradesmen and clerks and have always been men of probity and reputation so that they can hardly be held on con vict testimony alone Their course did much to break the value of Tubbridy's evidence. By pressing him closely on the cross exanai- nation as to the times, places and eircum- stances of the meetings which he claimed to have attended. bis answers were not entirely satisfactory and counsel for the crown ob- iected to the examination in that direction, claiming that the proceedings were only pre- iminary.

The Dynamite ConspfratOrs-GaIlag
 Keeps the Court in a FIurry.
 LONDON, April 26.-Bernard Gallagher got extremely excited over the police testimony at the Bow street police court examination to day and was very angry at some of the statements made against him by the English detectives. During the testimony of Inspec tor Boyd and others who had been interested in the case he made constant ejaculations of ''liar," &c., over their statements that he had made various propositions to turn informer. When the inspector said that he had offered to go to London and persuade his brother also to turn informer, to tell all he knew and to identify all the conspirators he broke out with That is the most infamous lie of all" The committing magistrate was very patient, but Gallagher's denials of the truth of the police evidence could not be stop ped. Personally he makes the most positive averments that he not only never offered to turn infornaer, but that he had no information to give. Instead of having known many of the conspirators and having met score or more of them in Brooklyn and New York he says he knew none of them. When he was quoted as hav- ing said he could connect O'Donovan Rossa with the dynamite plot he said he not only had no knowledge of the plot, but had never met Rossa, did not know him and had no knowledge of his movements or efforts in connection with the Irish agitation. The examination of the seven prisoners vas adjourned until tomorrow, when it will be resumed. The evidence against the GalIaghers, who deny that they were in Eng land at the time when they accused of having been implicated in the dynamite plot, is in many respects highly unsatisfactory, as it is against some of the others who are un- der arrest. The government, however, be- lieves that it has captured the real conspira- tors and that it has not only evidence enough to secure the commitment of the prisoners for treason, but also to secure final lIconviction.
 Carmody and Morgan Discharged.
 CORK, April 26--Carmody and Morgan who have for several days been under arrest charged by an informer with having been in terested in the dynamite conspiracy, have at length been discharged from custody, the government admitting that the evidence against them will not warrant an effort to prosecute them

Mark Twain.

Mark Twain, the renowned archRolO-
gist, poet and astronomer, is 4 lineal
descendent Of the celebrated Twain who
were made one flesh. He was born on
Plymouth Rock, April 1, 1928, on5a re-
markably cold morning, and the admin
lstratrlx OF the camphor and red flannel;
department afterwards stated that he
was the most remarkable baby she had
ever seen. At the early age Of seven,
Mark-for SO he was cruelty christened
was already addicted to science, and
his discovery, made one year later, that
9 spring clothes-pin artistically applied
to the continuation Of a catwould create
in that somnolent animal a desire for
vigorous foreign travel, is still used BY
the aborigines Of Connecticut and Mas
sachusetts. When he was nineteen,
Mark went through college. He en-
tered the front door, t,lrpentined the
rector 8 favorite cat, and grad uated the
same evening over the fence. He then
started for California, Milwaukee and.
other remote confines Of the earth, and
began those remarkable series Of truth
full anecdotes for which he is now SO.
Justly famed. As an archaolog how
sVyOAs ny Ids VOuSluOSIsI cuOWu, St0(l his
collection Of Pompeiian, Sanscrit, Egypt,
ian, and early Greek jokes, now in pos
ession Of Osgood & Co, of Boston. is
considered the most complete in the
world. Some envious critics have.
claimed that most Of these were painfully
carved by Mark himself, and the bal
ance composed Of heterogeneous and
unrelated parts, but there seems to be
no reasonable doubt that they are all
genuine antiques.
Personally, Mr.. Twain is a remarka-
bly, well preserved man. He is short,
dorid and very corpulent, laughs inces-
sanity, andis q rapid and bril- liant speak
or. His essay on Draw Poker ii Amer
lean Politics is conceded to be q mas
terly treatise on political economy,
while his poem entitled The Frog Down
by Weight Of Shot will hold its place
g one Of the most pathetic IN the Lam
guage. Liife.
