MIR. A. NJ. Sullivan Pays Tribute to the
Companion of the Late O'Donneu.
DUBLIN, Jan. 3.-The Weekly News publishes
letter from A. NJ. Sullivan, one of Patrick
ODonnells counsel, entitled; "Susan Gala
gher the Irish JEANNE Deans, episode of the
ODOnnell trial" Sullivan describes the connec-
ton of Susan Gallagher with the killing of
Carey, and argues that the facts rebound to the
credit of the Irish peasantry.
In this case he says, ''the simple Donegal
girl outrivaled the Midlothian heroine in her
anguish, sacrifice, devotion, and truth Rus
sells mastery and irresistible argument proved
a hundred circumstances and considerations in
favor of Carey having handled the pistol
during the tragedy. Years ago, ODonnell
separated from his wife in America
While revisiting Donegal, he met Susan. who
consented, under the appearance of his sister, to
accompany him TO the Cape, where they intended
to marry When, after her return to England,
she was interviewed by General Pryor and Sui
hva she stated that after leaving Capetown she
sat hstless, seasck and dazed in the
steamers saloon on a bench and when
Sullivan approached the critical point concerning
Carey's pistol, Susan, realizing the tremendous
Importance of the question, suffered intense
mental anguish and trembled like an aspen leaf
Sobbingly she replied, My back was turned to-
ward them, sir. Oh, if | had only turned
round before Oh, sir, was not
looking the right way. I heard some noise on
the floor 1t might have been the scuffiing of
feet. 1t was a small matter"
Sullivan adds: ''Who could contradict her
if she testified she beheld Carey with
pistol in his hand or what could
be easier than for her to declare that she heard
the pistol fall1
In conclusion, he says: 'The people of Ty-
ronnell may claim with pride the humble heroine
of religion and truth, Susan Gallagher, the Irish

CHOLERA IN EGYPT.
The Number of Victims Estimated Between
65, 900 and 10000.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 3.-The National Board of
Health has information, communicated by the
State Department, of the continuance of cholera
in Alexandria. Judge Farman, of the inter
national tribunal at Cairo, says: 'There are
from one to three cases per day resulting in
death, and many more in which those attacked
recover" He estimates that the number of
deaths from cholera the past summer are double
th"t given in the official estimates, 900 to 80,
OOO Owing to the want of proper organization,
however, the returns are not trustworthy, for
example: July "A the sanitary bulletin fixed the
deaths in Cairo at 465 From police statistics
they exceeded 1900. The nsul-general re-
ports that in wellnformed official circles the
number of victims is estimated at between Co.
600 and 20, 900.
TN many villages of the interior" he says, "a
majority of the laboring population died and in
some instances nearly entire communities disap-
peared, so that not sufficient effective hands re-
main to cultivate the harvest crops.".

Pensions for sixty-Day Soldiers.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 3.-General Browne, of In
diana, thinks the proposition to pension all who
served sixty days or more in the Mexican war is
an absurdity; but he supposes that the bill will
be passed. He has no doubt, he says, that other
bills to pension people that have no more merit
will be passed by this House, too-those Indian
war pension bills, for instance. Think of giving
pensions indiscriminately to men who only served
sixty days in war and refusing to pension men
who served five years in subsequent wars, and
who were so much more entitled to pensions.
It's absurd to pension a class of men merely be-
cause there are not many ofithem. So.

Special to the indianapolis journal.
WASHINGTON, Jan 3-The advance of those
who are interested in securing heavy appropria-

and begun preliminary arrangements for con

They claim there will be an attendance of about
one thousand. They say the convention will use
its influence on Congress to obtain liberal appro-
priations for any plan the War Department or
the river commission may adopt. They seem to
take it for granted that the House committees
have been selected with view to taking good
care of the Mississippi.
