brought a suit in the Superior Court some
yesrs ago against O'Donovan Rosa. Thomas
c. Luby Thomas f. Bourke, John J. Breslin
and others as trustees OF the so-called Irish
skirmshIng fund. When Col. John O'Ma-
honey, the irish patriot, died here in 1877,
Rosa deputed the plaintiff Il accompany the
remains to Irel md for burial. Mnlcahy was to
receive ST 900 out of the skirmishng fund to
pay his expenses. He says that Rossa paid
him but $537 of the amount The other de-
fendants subsequently assumed control OF the
fund. The plaintaiff asks that the money due
him should be declared lien upon the fund,
and that the defendants should be restrained
from transferring the fund until his claim was
paid A decision was given today, in which
Judgment was awarded to the defendants, the
court holding that the plaintiff had not ac-
quired lien upon the fund.

Efforts of Young Girl TO Save Them.
WELLsvILLE, o., Jan. 5.-The residence of
Milton Highland, at Mechancstown, few
miles vest OF this place. was burned ct an
early hour yesterday, and two of his children,
Grace and Mollie,aged and respectively ,per-
ished In the flames. Before reiirng for the
night member of the family hung some cloth
ing near CRATE to dry, and taking fire caused
the Calamity. About two o'clock Highland s.
eldest daughter was awakened by hearing a
cracking noise, and finding her room filed
with smoke realized in moment that the
house was on fire. She made heroic struggles
to reach the room Of her little sisters, few
rooms distant from her own, but the fierce
flames and sitting smoke prevented her. She
then, being badly burned, leaped from the
window TO the ground below and succeeded in
awakening her mother and the other members
OF the family, barely in time to save their lives
The house being in an isolated situation, no
neighbors were available to render any assist
aDce, and the father of the family was absent
in Indiana on business. This morning the
charred remains of the little ones were reeov-
cred from the ruins and prepared for burial.
