PIGOTI'S METHODS.
Patrick Egan Publishes Letters
Showing the Forger's Methods.

SuONiDS the Il OFSef INGENIOUS.
LINCOLN, Neb., Feb. 27. - Patrick
Egan said last evening that the Pigott
confession was not surprise to him.
"For twenty years." added Egan. II
have known this man to be forger and
swindler, and for over eight years l have
known he was on the secret service pay
roll of Dublin Castle as an informer.
In March, 1881. he made his infamous
attempt to extract blaekmaii from me.
l exposed him through the Dublin Free
mans journal. That exposure cut
off much of his power for
mischief. Since then he has
been forced to work by stealth.
When the London Times articles on
'Parnellisn and Crime were published
two years ago, l knew that there was
not one man on earth outside of Pigott
who could weave so complete a web
made up of lies and truth so skillfully
intermingled that it required the closest
knowledge, not only of the surface, but
of the undercurrent of the national
cause to distinguish one from the other.
When, in the O'Donnell case, the Times
brought forward some of its proofs |
saw at once how the forgery was
worked" Mr.. Egan also said he be-
this case, and that he would not be sur
priSed to see the names of certain men
prominent in English governmental cir
cles made public in connection with it.
Mr.. Egan has made public a number of
the letters Oh which Richard Pigott
founded the clever forgerieS which he
sold to the London Times, and which
formed the basis of the "ParnelliSm and
Crime" articles in that paper, leading
up to the Parnell-Times commission
and the exposure of the forger, as given
in yesterdays dispatches from London.
One of the principal forgeries, purport-
ing to have been written to z. j. Sheri-
dan, was based by Pigott upon this let
ter, presumably written to PigOtt:
March II, 1SS2.-DeaT Sir: As L un-
derstand your letter, which reached me
to-day. you can not act as directed un-
less forward you money by Monday
next. Well, here is 950-mOre if re-
quired. Under existing circumstances
what you suggest would not be enter
tanned. remain, dear sir,
PATRICK EGAN."
in June. 1881. Pigott offered to sell
out his. two papers to Mr.. Egan and Mr..
Parnell, and in the course of the negoti-
alton for the purchase, Mr.. Egan wrote
Pigott as follows:
Paris, June Is, 1SS1.-Dear Sir:
Your two letters of the 18th and 18th
inst. are duly at hand, and / am also in
receipt of communication from Mr..
Parnell informing me that he has acted
upon my suggestion and accepted the
offer contained in your first letter. In
fact, have before me copies of his two
letters to you, and am in a position to
say that any request to increase the
amount named would not be enter
tanned, ana that any hesitation or delay
in carrying out the transfer would lead
to the breaking off of the purchase alto
gether, ! remain, dear sir, yours truly,
'PATRICK EGAN
"Richard Pigott, Esq"
The forger twists this letter into the
following shape: "iSth. June; 1851
Dear Sir; Your two letters of 18th and
I5tn Inst. are duly to hand and | am
also in receipt Of communications from

Never again shall any man who respects

deal of fun with, in conjunction with
any dog that wants real lively fight
For the benefit of those who know not
what a badger is, we will say it is
found in Europe, Asia and America.
Its hair is used for brushes and
its skin for holsters and covering
travelling trunks. Its food generally
is sweet and it is very fond of wild
honey, attacking the nests of bees
with impunity, its skin being so tough
that bees might as well sting bill
lard ball for all the effect it has. For
further information ask Mr.. Frank
Wash, Mr.. John Frazer, Harry Hines
or others.

TWO Texans,

The Two Republics in a recent
number had the following personal
notice:
Mr.. II. B. Johnson, of the San An
tonic (TeXas) LIGHT, is one of the
most prominent journalists in the ed
itorlal excursion. He expresses him
self as highly pleased with the Mexi-
can republic, and especially dwells
upon the cordial reception rendered
the party by the delegation from the
the local press committee.
Col. u. A. Zabriskie, formerly Uni
ted States attorney of Arizona, ar
rived yesterday in this city from Ell
Paso. He came with the Texas press
party, and having been an old resi-
dent and editor of Texas, was perfect
ly at home with the journalists. Col.
Zabriskie found a number of old
friends in this city where he feels at
home from the fact that he was here
during the time when it tried mems
hearts. He will remain here for some
time on important business. He has
taken rooms at the Iturbide hotel.
The Colonel Zabriskie mention
ed was an old Texan who was in this
state at the time of the republican
fiascO, when, as he asserts, in the re-
fusal to count in Colonel Hamilton,
the republican party in Texas signed
its own death warrant.

number of prairie schooners arrived in

country and are camped on the Ameri-

by the reports that are be-

these arrivals are but the beginning
of considerable exodus from the

A Nature Lover Gone.

The death of n. A. Blankenship
has left a void in the ranks of the
local sportsmen of this city. He was
a connecting link between the pre- S.
ent lovers of woodcraft and those of a
generation or two since when with
his good wife he tended the wounded
of both parties in the confiic is be-
tween Mexican and Texans. They
were kindly souls, and his death has
reunited them after some years separ-
alton. If INDUCED in his hearts de-
sire he will no doubt haunt his old
retreats along the San Antonio and
other southwestern streams, which
were to him in every curve and bend
and leafy shadow as we'll known
as his own cottage yard. Peace to his
ashes,

In a TanQle.

The bondsmen of the contractors of
the Alamo plaza paving contract have
held meetings nearly every day this
week to try and get the suspended
work on the plaza resumed. Beside
the difficulty in getting wood for
blocks delivered fast enough to the
factory, the machinery at thu factory
is not adequate to the supply de-
manded, and there have been dissen-
tons between the partners, backed
each by supporting friends. 1t is
rumored the contract will be thrown
up next Monday, and the bondsmen
say if this is done there are others
who will gladly step in and complete
the work. 1t is said to be paying
contract, and the present contractors
have only drawn about $4,000 of the
money thus far.
There will be more developments
next week.

years of his life to curing cancers alone, and
during that time has not failed to cure a
single case. He came in possession of a

bad case, which killed the cancer in forty
eight hours, and in ten days time the whole
thing was removed and the affected parts
began to heal rapidly and was soon well, no
signs of it ever having returned.
He has cured hundreds of cases within
the last six years. and wants the public to
understand that he treats nothing but can
GERS. The doctor makes no charge until
the patient is discharged cured. He will
remain in San Antonio, Texas, several
months. Consultation free, at 40 Pre%a

People--The Impression
Created.
The advance guard OF the Texas
Press association reached this city
this morning via the Mexican Nation
al and Laredo, having accepted of the
courteous offer of the management of
the road to take the short route
home. The treasurer of the State as
ISOLATION, It. b. Johnson, of the
LIGHT, comes home loaded to the
muzZle with good words for the off,
GERS of the Mexican railways and the
local press of Mexico and the citizens
of the capital of the republic across
the Rio Grande. He says that a
more courteous, hospitable reception
was never accorded any one than was
accorded the members of the State
Press association in Mexico. The
route by the Mexican National is
about fourteen hours shorter and
through much more interest
ing country, and is destined to
be the popular line between
the United States and Mexico for all
save California travel. While in Mex
leo the railway officials rendered the
eXcGrsionists every courtesy, includ-
ing trip to Vera Cruz and wherever
lines are run. The editor of the Two
Republics, j. NJ. Clarke, was most
hearty in welcoming his Texas breth-
rem of the quill and put himself and
office at their disposal. The military.
the police, the museum and other
public places called forth the warmest
concentrations from the visitors. who
could have easily spent as many
months as they had days at their dis
pOsal without eXhausting the attrac-
lions of the capital. The Mexican
products and curiOsities which will
reach this city next fall, if our fair is
properly advertised there, will form
the most attractive collection ever
brought into.Texas.

Rural police who were so warmly

fights in the afternoon and fire works
at evening filled up the day. The
people entered into the spirit of the
celebration with zest unknown even
to American enthusiasts and the
whole city was one blaze of military
glory.

Tuesday night and reached Laredo
forty-eight hours later. A lay over
was taken in that busy border city,

it may be said that this road under
