Patrick Egan Talks.

LINCOLN, Neb., Dec. 7.-Patrick Egan.
president of the Irish National league of
America. interviewed to-day regarding the
report that Parnell will not attend the
Chicago convention, and the statement that
bitter dissensions exist in some of the Irish
associations, which will probably lead to
unpleasantness in the convention. said:
The statement that Parnell will not attend
is a mere conjecture. He has promised to
come / know he is anxious to come, and
believe he will come in any case. At least
three of the very best men of the party will
certainly be sent over. The statement that
the lord mayor-elect of Dublin, T. D. Sulli-
van, Mr.. Haley or 7. P. O'Connor could not
come, as each had been elected for two con-
stituencies, is absurd. The new parliament
will me ct about the second Thursday of Feb
rudry, and whoever comes over will have
ample time to get back by that time. With
regard to the reported fationism, have only
to say there are scme differences amongst
Irish-Americans, just as there are
in various American party organiza-
tions, but, fortunately they are con-
fiped almost entirely to New York.
Taking the Irish-Amer1can element as a
whole it is united on this Irish national ques-
tion as it has never before been, and have
every reason TO expect that the approaching
convention at Chicago will be-as every other
convention since the commencement of this
movement has been-a model of order, self
respect, harmony and patriotic DEVOTION

CESSATION OF THE SUPPLY.

Pennsylvanians IncOnvenienced by
the Failure of Gas Supply.
PITTsBURG, Pa, Dec. quite a COM
motion was created among the consumers
Of natural gas throughout two cities to-day
by sudden cessation of the supply of fuel
There was lively scampering about to Sc
cure coal, and dusky diamonds were in great
demand again. Many consumers were un-
able to build coal fires in time to keep up
the proper temperature of their houses, and
in consequence indulged in angry COM
plants. Hundreds of families had to re-
sort to laundry stoves for cooking purposes
or eat cold meals. Several factories sus-
pended work, clerks in business houses
wore overcoats and scholars in the public
schools, where natural gas was used, were
dismissed. The shortage in the supply is
attributed to inadequate pipeage, the de-
mand being much larger than usual on ac-
count of the cold snap. The gas company
will connect with a twenty-four-inch main
from Murrayville Wednesday, and after that
there will be no more trouble.
WENT SUPPERLEsS TO BED.
PITTsBURG, Pa, Dec. From o'clock
yesterday afternoon until 10 o'clock last
night the towns of Beaver Falls and New
Brighton were cut off entirely from natural
gas to make connections with the Rochester
main. The weather was intensely cold and
much suffering and inconvenience resulted.
Many families went to bed to keep warm,
or to their neighbors', who still use the old
fashioned fuel coal. No suppers could be
cooked, and restaurants using coal did
land-office business. Hotel guests aban-
doned the hotels and churches held no
evening service. Manufacturers running at
night had to shut down. and it is thought
considerable loss will be experienced at the
glass houses and pottery from the cooling
of pots and kilns. At 10 o'clock the gas
was turned on and many got out of bed to
cook SupperS.

Row at a Hanging.

LOUISVILLE, Dec. IA Courier-J Journal
special says: James Early was hanged this
afternoon at Williamsburg, KY. in the
presence of 1000 people. He was resigned
to his fate and said he believed the Lord
would forgive him for killing Leander Law
son. He assembled the scaffold without a
tremor. Some of the crowd were very
drunk and laughed and joked, and great
many of them tried to climb the scatfold.
The guards pushed them back, and then
threats to tear the scaffold down were made.
A row was started and two shots fired. The
second shot struck ALA Sharp, colored. in
the head, making a bad scalp wound. The
women screamed and for time there was
great excitement, but very soon perfect Or
der was restored. Early was asked if he
had anything to say, and he replied mo, 1
am ready whenever you are" He died in
twenty minutes from strangulation. The
crime for which Early was hung was COM
mitted some months ago, when he entered
school taught by Leander Lawson and
created disturbance. Early was drunk
and was put out. He returned and shot
and killed Lawson.

MERRITT's CORNERS, N. Y, Dec. T.
Another accident has happened on the new
CrOtOn aqueduct. 1t occurred early this
morning at Shaft No. 8 and resulted in the
death of four men and the probable fatal
injury of fifth. The men were descend
ing to work in one of the buckets used for
lowering them down the shaft. The start
was made all right, but before the bucket
had descended many feet the cross beam.
or ''quilly," as it is called. caught on the
shaft and remained fast until the bucket
had almost reached the bottom of the shaft,
when it shook loose and came crashing On
the heads of the unfortunate men. The
following men were instantly killed:
FRANCES CARR, single.
FRIEDRICH DRESSER, single.
LORENZO DOBBINS, married, leaves a
wife and family ut Hibernia, N. j.
PATRICK MORAN, married.
John B0ardman, the other unfortunate
man, will probably die of his injuries.
When the cross beam struck the bucket he
was knocked out, but in his descent, fell on
a shelving construction near the bottom and
on the side of the shaft. This in all proba-
bility saved him from instant death.

IOWA REPUBLICANS.
The Sherman-BrOwn ImbrOgliO
Growing Interesting.

Special to the Globe.
BURLINGTON, Ia, Dec. IA matter
that is bothering the heads of the Repub-
lican leaders is the Sherman-Brown i'm
broglio. Brown, it will be remembered,
was suspended by Gov. Sherman last March
on account of alleged Irregularities by the
latter in the examination into the condition
of the insurance companies of the state.
The matter was taken to the supreme
court, which sustained the governors
action. but expressing, at the same time.
the opinion that it was the governors duty
to fully investigate the charges against the
auditor, and to reinstate him if the
charges were not sustained. No action
has been taken by the governor
since, and now Browns friends go so
far as to demand that Governor ELECT Lar
rabee shall not be inaugurated until Gov.
Sherman's action in this matter is inquired
into, some even going so far as to demand
his impeachment. Sherman's friends, on
the other hand, oppose any action in the
case Of either Gov. Sherman or Governor
elect Larrabee, but insist that the matter
shall be left entirely to the legislature. The
coming session of the legislature promises
to be lively one, and if there is not con-
siderable hair-pulling in the Republican
ranks the signs are very deceptive. A bad
break in the Republican ranks of Iowa
seems not improbable, and many staunch
Republicans are already looking with much
apprehension to 1883.

An Unlucky Assignee.

CINCINNATI, Dec. Tt has been ascer-
tanned to-day that the assets of Archbishop
Pursell. the assignment having been men
toned in these dispatches heretofore as re-
duced by shrinkage in values of stocks
bought by Assignee Mannix by order of the
court, are made less by the direct action of
the assignee himself. Mr.. Mannix now
says that the former statement, placing the
burden on the court, was an effort to shield
him, which he had not asked and did not
authorize. He says there was an order of
the court to invest the proceeds of one sale
in Southern railroad lands. There was a
loss on them, and he undertook to retrieve
it by other investments. More losses and
more ventures followed, until now the de-
ficit is nearly $200,000 The bulk of this
will fall upon his bondsmen, who are able
to make it good. Mr.. Mannix has always
been of high reputation at the bar.

A New Torpedo.
Special to the Globe.


MICHIGAN CITY, Ind, Dec. Capt. j.
A. Howell and Lieut.. A. r. Conden OF the
United States navy have been in the city
for several weeks experimenting with a
submarine torpedo invented and patented by
Capt. Howell. The results have improved
from the beginning. and the accidents sup
posed to be inseparable from new work
have in most instances been overcome, so
that there has really been a
steady advance from the first
Twenty-four trials have been made
with varying speed. The torpedo, which
is the only one of the kind ever invented,
is expected to aid very materially in eff
fective warfare. A speed of eighteen miles
per hour for 200 yards was obtained
with an extreme range of over 500 yards,
while perfect direction has been combined
with great regularity of submergence. The
torpedo is cigar-shaped and weighs 24S
pounds, carrying forty pounds of charge.
The extreme length is 9 feet, diameter
1411S inches, shell of galvanized iron 1.S2
of an inch in thickness.

on this stuff was about $25, 900. The ma
chinery in use was expensive and could not
be replaced for less than $685. and was
fully insured. Only two accidents occurred.

Can't Do 1t consistently.

Spocldl W Iue UlOUe.
New YORK, Dec. 7.-Senator Palmer of
Maryland, when asked about the coming
session, replied:
"a man can only speculate at this stage,
and we are so close at the door of the session
that it is hardly worth while TO guess"
''What are you going to do about confirm
ing appointments"
81 think that we shall have to stand upon
some broad and general ground, and confirm
and reject all appointments on some agreed
upon basis. For instance, we may say that
we will not confirm any appointees where the
man removed had not served out the full time
for which he was appointed. We could go be-
fore the country safely with work under such a
rule. We can't confirm one man and reject
another, whose case was exactly parallel
without creating the suspicion that
we are at work purely on personal or selfish
grounds. Where man is removed for hav-
ing been an offensive partisan am in favor
of requiring proof to be adduced and the wit
ness brought forward. There will be some
queer developments in that event. Then
think that where an offensive partisan is ap-
pointed to Office on the removal of man
charged with some patriotic crime, we should
not by any means confirm the new man. we
can't do it consistently"
