Dillon Says He's Net Afraid of the

 MT. O'Brien Bitterly Attacks Bishop
 O'Dwyer. of Limerick.
 DUBLIN, May 2S.-Mr. John Dillon, speak ing at Kildare yesterday, denounced the bishops who support the papal rescript re- garding Ireland. He said tho Nationalist party was not afraid of any bishop's threats nor of any mandate from the Vatican, and it was not going to abandon the plan of cam paign or boycotting, with which weapons it had fought the battle until now.
 MT. Healy. in a speech at Waterford, twitted the pope with working his own plan of campaign when the Sardinians grabbed his territory, and with boycotting Victor Emmanuel
 Mir. William O'Brien addressed largo meeting at Limerick. He uttered bitter in vectives against Bishop O'Dwyer, saying the threats contained in the bishops manifesto with reference to the rescript were the rash est and most unjust ever made.
 The bishop, MT. O'Brien said, left Limerick Saturday, after supplying copies of his mani- festo to every Orange newspaper, but he did not send copy to tho mayor, to whom tho manifesto was nominally addressed, and who discovered it in the journals. MT. OBrien declared that there never was anything falser than Bishop O'Dwyer's assertion that the Nationalists were agitating against the pope.
 The audience, which was greatly excited, uttered groans for Bishop O'Dwyer. Twenty thousand persons attended the meeting. The better class of citizens and most of the local clergymen were absent A dozen other Par nellites spoke at various places.

OVERWHELMED BY WATER.
Great Damags and Is Thought to Have
 Killed Many People.

A Water Spout in Nebraska Which Did
 Great Damags and Is Thought to Have
 Killed Many People.
 CHADRoN, Neb., May 2s-This section of Nebraska was visited by water spout, which has done incalculable damage to crops, swept away grazing live stock, and inundated miles of territory. It commenced to rain at o'clock Saturday afternoon, com ing down in a yeritable torrent. Shortly after o'clock, in the northwestern part of Dawes county, aEhuge black cloud WAS seen iu the heavens, revolving like a cartwheel The nearer it approached the faster it re- volved. The cloud broke in the vicinity of White river and Lone Tree creek. The water came rushing down White river in solid wall ten feet high. In forty minutes the stream had risen sixteen feet.
 A farmer named Sweet came across his farm in boat and said his family and house were safe, but he had lost sixteen head of cattle. Five miles of the Elkhorn valley road are under water, and telegraph communica- tion is destroyed. Great loss of life is feared along the path of the rushing waters, but it is impossible to get any particulars now. Rain is still falling
 This is the third water spout this section has been visited with. The last one occurred three years ago, during the construction of the Elkhorn road. A large grading camp was in its path, and mon, horses, mules and everything were washed away.

FOR NEGLEcTING HIS DUTY.

A Pennsylvania Burgess, Who Let Crim-
 inals Go Free, Arrested.
 WILKEsBARRE, Pa, May 2s.-County De- tective T. J. Heffermann, acting under in structions from District Attorney Lenahan, arrested A. R. Longshore, burgess of the borough of Hazleton, on two charges, allow ing a prisoner to escape and misdemeanor in office MT. Longshore immediately went be- fore Squire German and waiving hearing entered bail in $500 on each charge.
 The charges arise out of the escape of Jacob Brem, who on May 2 fatally stabbed Robert Pulsley at the village of Mt. Pleasant, near Hazleton. Brem was arrested and brought before Burgess Longshore, who fined him SIS and $6 costs, and in default of payment com mitted him to tlSs borough lookup for five days. Squire Laubach notified Burgess Inna- shore not to iberate Brem, Pulsley was sure to die; but at the end of the five days Brem was set at liberty, and immediately fled from the county. Three days after Pulsley died
 A second case occurred on Sunday of last week, when man named Conalick fatally stabbed fellow countryman at Humboldt, three miles from Hazleton. Complaint was entered with the Hazleton officials, but they refused to act unless their expenses were put up in cash. District Attorney Lenahan is resolved crime shall not go unpunished in the Hazleton district, and proposes to make an example of this case.
