A Royal Residence in Ireland-PrinC

A Royal Residence in Ireland-Prince
Albert Victor to be VicerOy.
LONDON, June Among the measures
to be introduced in the House of Com
mons by the government soon after the
reassembllng of Parliament is bill to
provide the necessary funds to establish
a royal residence in Ireland. The scheme
is one of the results of the visit to Ireland
of the Prince and Princess Of Wales and
their eldest son, Prince Albert Victor.
The estate which it is intended to buy is
that Of Ardbracean Place, a celebrated
pow-wow place, located at Eavan, county
Meath. The plan is to make this the
residence during a part Of the year Of
Prince Albert Victor, where he will es-
tablish q court as the personal represen-
tative Of the Queen.
1t is whispered also that the plan in
Guided the appointment of Prince Albert
as VicerOy of Ireland as soon as his
father shall succeed TO the throne, al
though this is not publicly mentioned, as
1t is the rule TO write and speak as though
the Queen were expected to live forever.
The project to create royal residence
in Ireland, however, is destined to meet
with opposition from an unexpected quar-
ter. II was believed that 1t would be at
tractive to all Irishmen, because it would
tend TO stimulate trade and be a formal
recognition Of lreland's increased i'm
pOrtance.
The Parnellites, however, have deter
mined to oppose 1t, saying that they have
more than enough OF vice regal page
antry already in Earl Spencer's court at
| Dublin Castle. They have been seeking
! for years TO abolish that semj-royal in
stitution, and now they strongly object to
/ the establishment OF any court for the
/ exclusive benefit OF one of the Queens
numerous progeny and the Orange gen.
I try Of Ulster.
The Parnellites have determined to dis
cuss the measure as fully as parliS-
mentary rules win allow, partly for the
sake Of ventilating the SUBJECT, and partly
on the general principle of delaying all
legislation to defeat the crimes act, but
there is no doubt that the government will
win when it comes to a division, as easily
as it did on the subject of Princess Bea-
/ trice's dover.

MIR. BRENNAN VERY CROSS.
He Doesn't Like Civil Service Reform
as Expounded by Mr.. Hay.

From the PhiEadelphid Times.
WASHINGTON, June 3.-Chairman
Brennan, of Pittsburg, had an interview
with First Assistant Postmaster General
Hay to-day relative to a small post Office
near Pittsburg. The Office now pays about
$500 year, though until the next read
Justment it will not be a Presidential Of
fee. This interview illustrates fully the
policy of the administration relative to
fourth class offices and shows that the
sweeping policy in Virginia is not to be
applied to other States. Mr.. Brennan
stated to Mr.. Hay that the post office was
kept in building with a groggery, and
that the postmaster lived in the city Of
Pittsburg, and that a portion of the mail
was sent in bulk to another point, where
a good many persons were employed, and
there distributed by an irresponsible
party.
Charges will have to be filed setting
forth particular instances of malfeasance
in Office" said Mr.. Hay. eve cannot
turn a man out merely because he is a
Republican. The charges will, of course,
be treated as CONFIDENTIAL
''And the Postmaster be left open to
anonymous attacks--to be stabbed in the
back by anybody and everybody, Ell?
Well, that is not my way or my idea Of
doing business" said Mr.. Brennan, blunt
". Everything ought to be open and
above board. Republicans should be
turned out if for no other reason than be-
cause they are Republicans. They ex-
pect it. That is practical politics, MIR.
Hay, and you know it as well as l do.
How is the party to stand such a sheme
as that? The Democratic party will not
turn itself into a Coroner's inquest to sit
on little postmaster. You've got to turn
Republicans out"
ave can't turn out competent men and

TWO BROTHERS LYNCHED.
An Ola Feud in Iowa has a Doubly
Tragic Termination.

MARSHALLToWN, Iowa, June 5.-t II
and Maus Rsinsbarger were taken from
the Jail at Eldora, Hardin county, this
morning, by mob of seVenty-ive masked
men and riddled with bullets. They were
brothers of the two Ransbargers who are
now in Marshall county Jail here for the
murder of Enoch Johnson, and were ar
rested yesterday for an alleged attack on
DR.. Underwood, who is prominent IN the
Rainsbarger prosecution here.
THE RESULT OF FEUD.
The lynching Of the Rainsbargers is the
result of an old feud that mas been brew
ing in Hardin county for many years. 1t
originated in family quarrel a great
MANY years ago, and eliminated last year
in the murder Of johnson. For this crime
two Rainsbargers, Nathaniel and Frank,
are now in Jail at Marshalltown charged
with murder. The accusation was
made by the wife Of Nathaniel, who is a
daughter of Johnson. Among the most
prominent men in the county who
testified at the preliminary eXamina-
ton was DR.. Underwood, of Eldora.
His life was threatened by the gang. A
few DAYS ago il was discovered that the
Rainsbargers had cOncocted a plan to
murder number of leading citizens of
the county. Night before last Dr.. Under
wood and DR.. Ridenour, dentists, were
shot at as they were driving along
in the country. The former was
wounded. A number of shots were fired.
This attempt drove the citizens to des-
peratiOn, and the Rainsbargers, having
been arrested last evening, were during
the night taken out and lynched. Fin
WAS pardoned convict charged with the
murder. His family and followers were
hard characters, and have given peace
able people great deal Of trouble. Great
excitement prevails, but public senti-
ment generally approves the lynching,
and it is doubtful if any prosecutions will
follow.

HEARN, Ten, June 5.-At midnight
last night mob forced an entrance into
the Jail here, and took out Henry Lump
kin, negro, charged with numbering an
cOloYed man last Wednesday.
The mob took Lumpkin to the stock-yards
and hung him to a gate beam.

A FIGHT BETWEEN TURTLES.
What Two Fishermen Witnessed on
Big Walker Pond.

SHoEoLA, Pa, June 3.-A novel COM
bat was witnessed by two Erie Railway
employees on Sunday, on Big Walker pond,
few miles back of this station. The
men we're fishing in the pond, and were
in boat near the west shore, when they
saw a commotion in the water few rods
away. The fishermen padded out to the
spot and saw two very large swapping
turtles, for which the pond is famous, en-
gagged in a desperate fight. The turtles
would rush at one another and come to-
gether with such force that the shock
would cause them to rebound several
feet. Then they would dart around one
another, and as they passed each would
make a savage lunge with its great head
and long neck toward it's antagonists
legs, the evident effort of each one being
to seize the other in a vulnerable part.
The two men watched the collisions and
frantic dartings to and fro for several
minutes, but neither turtle succeeded IN
gaining any advantage over It's enemy.
Finally one of them swan of few feet
and, turning, made terrific rush through
the water toward its opponent. The latter
awaited the onslaught with glarlng eyes.
When the former came TO within a foot or
so of its foe it dived like a flash and came
up under the other turtle, and before the
latter could defend itself against this I'M
expected attack seized one of its fOrelegs
in its massive Jaws. The ensuing struggle
WAS so desperate that the water was
dashed into foam about the two combat
ants, and in a short time became col
Ored with blood that followed the laceTa-
ton Of the Outwitted turtles leg by the
Jaws of the other. The former twisted and
turned, diyed toward the bottom, and
dartsd back again to the surface with
such speed that half its body, in spite of
the weight of the other turtle hanging to
it, shot out of the water, but 1t could not
break the viselike hold of the deep-set
jaws on Its leg. 1t was plain TO the two
spectators that the battle was to end in
favor of the turtle that had secured hold of
its opponent, and they determined to cap
ture both com batants if possible. Pad
ding close to where they were struggling
and watching their opportunity, each man
seized turtle by the tail and lifted them
both into the boat.
The fishermen soon became aware of
the fact that they had made move that
was destined to give them some lively
work, for the fight went right on in the
boat, and the men were compelled to take
a hand in it order to keep place in the
boat for themselves. With the aid of the
paddle and a seat they succeeded, after a
few minutes, in stretching both turtles on
the bottom Of the boat. The Jaw of the
one remained tightly locked on the leg of
the other, and for hours after the head
was severed from its body the hold could
not be broken. The turtles weighed 20
pounds each, and are to be served at a
grand banquet at a Port Jeryis hotel.

HIBBS'CLEVER RASCALITY

PORTLAND, ORE, June ga special
from Lewiston. Idaho, gives more fully
the story of the defalcation Of Isaac Hibbs,
Postmaster at Lewiston. He was APP
pointed in March, 1884. Last January a
registered mail pouch was robbed, but an
official investigation developed nothing,
and the affair was eventually forgotten.
On May Hibbs left for an alleged silver
mine on the Upper Columbia. A postal

and found, in Hibbs' writing, receipts for

his MoDUs OPERANDI.
The modus operandi was as follows
Lewiston is the mail distributing point
for a large number OF offices in Northern
Idaho and eastern Washington Territory.
Hibbs would issue money orders in icti-
tious names at these Offices drawn in
favor of a bank in Iowa, where the orders
were payable. The customary letter Of
advice was forwarded to the paying
Postmaster. Hibbs then wrote to the
bank that he would shortly visit
the town, enclosed the money or
ders, and requested the bank to cash
them and place the amount Is on deposit
TO his credit until he arrived. Later he
wrote to the bank that he could not make
his contemplated visit, and requested that
a draft for the amount Of money on de-
posit be returned by registered mail to the
fictitious names attached to the money
orders. and always at some Office where
the mail passed through Lewiston. When
the drafts arrived Hibbs signed the fic-
titious names and returned the receipt
cards, and the transaction was COM
pleted.
GOULD BANKRUPT THE GOVERNMENT.
Money orders are limited to $500 in
favor of one person, but with foFethought
and a iudiciOus distribution of dates and
places an opening offers through which
INSCRIPTIONS Postmasters could bank
rupt the United States. The amount of
the defalcation exceeds $40, 900, and is
expected to reach $4,000. The postal
inspector says that the robberies will
necessitate the authorities recognizing
the money order system of the United
States and elsewhere. The scheme is
surprisingly simple, and the officers are
surprised that it WAS never thought of
and worked before. John Evans, Cashier
Of the First National Bank William Kill

Bank, and Alexander, Thiesser and " oOd-
