JOHN BOYLE O'REILLY DEAD.
Patriot, Poet and Journalist-Cut OF
in His Prime.

in His Prime.
BOSTON, Aug. IL, 1S90.-John Boyle
ORE lily, the Irish poet, patriot, novelist
an d journalist. died on Sunday at his
summer home in Hull, near Boston. Late
on Saturday night he returned from q
10 ng walk, lighted cigar and sat down
in char, from which he did not rise
again. He was found dead at five o'clock
in the morning. The cause of his death
was heart failure.
O'Reilly began his working life as
compositor on an English paper. He
was then reporter. All his spare
energy, which was considerable, was de-
voted to spreading the principles of Irish
nationalism. Type setting and agitation
made too mild life for him, and he en-
listed IN one of the crack cavalry regi-
ments, the Prince of Wales Own Fourth
Hussars, with the object of spreading
disaffection in the army.
AT the end of three years he and three
fellow-conspiratorS were detected. That
was in 1866. They were tried on five
capital charges, found guilty and sem
fenced TO be shot. The sentence was
committed at first to Imprisonment for
life and then to twenty years penal SER
vitude.
In 1867 he was transported to Western
Australia with many other convicts. They
enlivened the monotony of travel by pub
fishing weekly paper. When the yoy-
age was over ne was placed III tns
island prison. 1t is needless to say
that he made up his mind to escape.
He had charge of the stores and car
ried messages for the Warden. One
day his friend, Father Patrick McCabe,
brought him word that the American
whaling bark Gazelle, Captain Clifford, of
New Bedford, was about to touch at Bun
bury depot, whiUher O'Reilly was often
sent with messages. He escaped into a
bush, reached the shore, borrowed row
boat. and arrived on board the Gazelle.
He landed here on November 23 1869,
and obtained place on the Boston Pilot.
OF which he soon became editor. He
wrote for very large number Of maga-
zines and produced several thrilling nov
els.
He was man of splendid physical
build and did everything he could to en-
courage athletics. He was only forty-six
years old at the time of his death.

His Fraudulency and His War Record
Ride Alone in a Carriage.
The City Hall presented lively scene
yesterday afternoon. and there was much
hurrying up and down the brown stone
steps by men in the uniform of the Grand
Army. Van Houten Post was about TO
leave for the national encampmenJ at
Boston, and there were many present to
bid the boys goodbye and wish them
pleasant visit All the prominent Grand
Army men of the city were there in the
regulation uniform. Chief Murphy, City
Collector O'Neill, Colonel Gilbert p Rob
inson, Clerk of the Police Board, Captain
Farrier, Jack McCutcheon and Captain
Archie McKaig were all on hand, and as
they marched away the crooks and law
less characters heaved a great sigh OF
relief as they saw so many eminent police
men leaving town.
An open barouche stood in front of the
City Hail and many wondered what in
firm and disabled veteran it was for.
Their wonder was turned into disgust
when Pecksniff Cleveland came out of
the Mayors office and took seat in the
carriage behind his oleaginous smile.
Promptly at two O'Clock the boys be-
gan to fall in. First came the excellent
drum and flute corps of the post in their
natty uniforms, and then followed His
Fraudulency with his war record
carefully tucked out of sight
under the seat 1t was expected that
Governor Albeit would occupy the car
rfage with Mr.. Cleveland, but at the last
moment. doubtless unable to bring him
self down to riding in the same coach
with the de facto mayor. he sent word
that he would join the Post at New Lon
don. The veterans, about TWO hundred
strong followed the carriage. They were
fine body of men and as they moved
down Montgomery street their martial
bearing and soldierly appearance aroused
the enthusiastic applause OF the many
people who lined the sidewalk.
His Fraudulency with his usual calm
assurance took the applause to himself
and haughtily dotted his hat. But little
attention was paid to him, and If he had
not been sandwiched between the band
and the Post he would scarcely have at
tracsed attention.
The veterans took the Desbrosses street
ferry to New York. where they embarked
upon the steamboat City Of Worcester for

THE STRIKE SPREADING.
Firemen Quit Work at Albany
Governor Hill Appealed to by
the Centraps Officers.

The strike is still in progress, and al
though Vice President Webb, of the New
York Central, claims that It's backbone is
concerned, men are leaving work on
other sections of the Vanderbilt system.
Nine-tenths of the regularly scheduled
New York Central, New Haven and Har-
lem trains left the Grand Central depot
this morning close upon time. Ten local
trains were abandoned.
The Brotherhood locomotive Engineers
and Firemen did not strike, although it
was predicted they would SO later in the
day.
Several freight trains were moved from
the West Sixty-fifth street yard, the
freight blockade continuing to other
points.
At De Witt, near Syracuse, again this
morning the freight yards are reported in
the hands of body OF strikers, while the
militia are inactive, awaiting orders from
Major General Farnsworth.
Despite the hopeful declarations of rail
way officials the outlook at Albany is re-
garded as serious and even gloomy. The
presence of Pinkerton men aggravates the
strikers, and the danger of clash be-
tween strikers and detectives, with its
consequent peril to men who remain at
work, mas spread much uneasiness anon G
the non-strikers. The strikers are firm
and have been largely reinforced since
Saturday.
GOVERNOR HILL ASKED FOR AID.
In view OF these facts Vice Presidedt
Webb telegraphed to Governor Hill by
private wire this morning, setting forth
the facts and asking the Governor to take
prompt action so that the company could
replied that he would do all that was
necessary.
Sergeant Lamey, of the Liberty Street
Station, is on duty at ST. Johns Park
with fifty police officers, who are posted
all about the depot and on the street cor
ners and entrances.
Inspector Bvrnes has large force of
reserves placed at convenient points
where they can be quickly moved to any
point upon short notice.
At Buffalo the blockade is reported
over. There has been no violence and a
break is expected among the strik ers,
who are alleged to be discontented
Chicago advices today say the strike
has not yet reached any of the Wander
bilt systems in the West.
A late rumor at Albany is that special
meeting of the State Board of Arbitra
tion will be held at the capitol today, and
that if the railway company will agree to
arbitrate the men will return to work
pending decision.
State Commissioner Donovan's offer at
arbitration was refused this morning by
Vice President Webb.
FIREMEN STRIKE AN ALBANY.
AT noon the strike of twenty firemen
on the Albany division was reported, and
the refusal of the engineers to run with
green firemen.
The freight blockade at the st. Johns
Park yards of the New York Central con-
tinues. Long lines of loaded freight cars
stand in the sheds and extend along Hud-
son street in front of the depot, and the
platforms are piled high with freight of
every description.
No freight has been received there since
Saturday morning.
Everything was quiet at the depot early
this morning. None of the strikers were
about and the only employees of the COM
pany visible were few watchmen.

WEST SHORES SUNDAY.
1t Was Dull in the Main With
Trains all Moving.

Twenty-Five deputy sheriffs armed with
long night sticks, and four Jersey City
policemen, guarded the yards of the West
Shore Railroad at Weehawken all day
yesterday. There was no serious out
break. A few of tho striking switchmen
tried during the day TO persuade couple
of men who had taken their places to
desert their posts but were unsuccessful.
The road is apparently not embarrassed,
and-all of the trains left yesterday on
time.
AS freight train No. 6, engine No. 112,
with Engineer Heiminger IN charge, was
backing down in the yards at ten min.
utes past eight on Saturday night the
engines whistle gave long blast. AT
the sound of the whistle thirty-eight
men, freight, conductors. switchmen and
brakemen left their respective posts and
headed by Michael Kane, conductor,
waited on Yard Master j. w. DeGroot
and told him that they had no grievances
against the West Shore Railroad, but
they struck in sympathy for their New
York brethren. The yardmaster had an
ticipated that the men would leave and
did not appear to be surprised

about sixty. Thirty-eight of these are

DULL SUNDAY.
The police got to Weehawken early and
were soon scattered throughout the
yards and kept close watch on all persons.
The day was uneventful. The twelve
passenger trains left on schedule time.
There are three freight trains which
leave the yard on Sunday.
The first is local train to Middletown
on the New York, Ontario and Western
and leaves at two a. m. Yesterday this
train went away on time. Another
leaves on the West Shore itself
at two o'clock D. m. This also went
away on time. The last train left at five
time.
Shortly after four O'Clock it was
thought that there would be trouble.
The places of five of the striking switch
men had been filed and three men were
seen earnestly conversing with one of the
new switchmen. The yard master dis
covered the fact and gave orders to the
police to put the striking switchmen out
of the yard and to keep them out. The
striking switchmen left quietly when re-
quested by the police.
The strikers held q meeting at Beck 8
Hall, Union Hill, on Sunday morning
and held another III the afternoon. Both
were secret and nothing could be learned
of what had taken place.
AT six o'clock the day force Of police
was relieved. The night force was in
creased to fifteen policemen, and one po-
liceman was stationed at each of the
switches in the yard, as it was feared
that the strikers might become desperate

| About ten o'clock word was received
| from New Durham, which is the first
| station on the west side of the tunnel,
| that several drunken strikers had taken
| possession of the yards and refused to
| leave there. The yardmaster at Wee

| and sent ten policemen to the scene. Be

| drunken strikers had disappeared. Five
policemen were stationed at New Dur

Found in Kansas.

Inc MAu whom 0o <AThhuu says 110 As
Found in Kansas.
Addison Ely obtained from Chancellor
MeGill this morning on order for COM
mission to examine at Hot Springs, Ark,
Captain Alfred Armand in the case of
Mary Pelt against Charles A. De Ar
maud.
The suit, MS has been stated in THE
JERSEY CITY NEWS, is for the purpose of
setting aside deed for some valuable
property in East Orange which Mrs. Peet
claims was obtained from her
by De Arnaud by misrepresenta-
ton. From the commencement of
the suit De Arnaud has claimed that
during the war he commanded body of
Missouri Volunteers, and that owing to
his influence with the Gar and Russian
Minister, ne himself being Russian,
he rendered this country valuable
service during the Rebellion. He
claimed that the name of Alfred Arnaud
on the records of the War Department
was meant for him. and it Is said that he
had the record changed to his name.
Mr. Ely claims that the Captain Alfred
Aruaud who commanded Company + of
the Ninth Missouri Volunteers, the COM
pany which dc Arnaud claims that ne
commanded, is in Hot Springs, and
his object in obtaining the com
mission is to have the Captains
testimony TO that effect in order to show
de Arnaud in his true light. Mr.. Ely also
says that the War Department has pro-
ceeded against de Armand for falsifying
the records.

morning except to open bids. On
motion of Commissioner Van Keuren
Commissioner Dugan presided. There
were nine bidders for the work of improv-
ing the sidewalks on Montgomery street
from Bergen to West Side avenue, of
whom Henry FL. Holmes is probably the
lowest bidder. Mr. Holmes was also the
lowest bidder of the eight contractors
who proposed to improve Irving street
from Nelson avenue to Central avenue.
The third batch of bids orened was for
the improvement of Water street, from
Montgomery street to Vroom street. and
numbered eight. Mr.. Holmes also APP
peared to be the lowest bidder for this
job. The Mcneil Pipe and Foundry Com

few days. The fact is that several
weeks will elapse before the work Of
~unsealing these mines will be under
taken. The task of flooding the prop
erty is progressing ut a satisfactory
pace and the management is deter
mined to carry out the plan originally
formed for the rescue of the mines.
II is slow work at best. but II will be
successful in the end, and when once
the water is up TO the proper level the
mine can be emptied again In less than
ven days.
In a very practical way the fire In
Butte has demonstrated that the prop
critics of the Anaconda company IN
that city are immensely more valuable
than the general public supposed and
for that matter, than some of the own
ers themselves realized. IL was the
general opinion that. as soon as the
two great mines involved In flame were
sealed, the works in this city would he
forced to shut down. Yet the vast
plant in Anaconda has been kept run
ming at its full capacity, without losing
a single day. during the months that
have interviewed since the Anaconda
and the st. Lawrence were sealed. Di-
rectly after the fire, railroad connection
with the Syndicate mines was promptly
adapted TO larger shipping facilities,
that group of properties has since been
turning out and sending to this city
from 1900 to 1900 tons of ore daily,
and the ability of the Syndicate group
TO keep up with this daily supply for
an indefinite period is not a matter Of
any question whatever.
The fact that the works have thus
been kept constantly in operation is a
source Of qualification TO those who re-
joice that the November fire did not
throw hundreds of wOrkmen into EN-
forced idleness, as well as TO those who
generously wish the great mining com
panies in Butte prosperity and success
in their ventures. The other fact that
the mines in the syndicate group were
in readiness for this unexpected demand
on their resources certainly is a hand
