CONDEMNED HIMSELF.
OWEN M'NALLYs SAD STORY BEFORE
JUDGE WHITE

How he Travelled the Way of Crime and
Learned to be Thief-The Judge Re-
lents and Imposes a Smaller Sentence
than Intended.
A prisoner at the bar awaiting sentence
lectured himself yesterday, and the story he
told was one to draw forth the sympathy of
all who heard it. 1t was a story of crime, it
is true, but it was also tale of how when a
man is started on the down road he is
bounded on until he has no alternative. No
one will have a reformed criminal as an en-
ploye, and that causes many man to con-
tinue to be ief even when he wants to
reform.
Owen McNallv was before the bar of ius-
tice yesterday awaiting sentence for larceny.
He was asked what he had to say, and made
the very remarkable reply:

SIX YEARS OF SUCCESS.

Coming Anniversary of the Randall Club
Review of the Organizations Growth
An Entertaining Programme Prepared
for Thursday Evening Next
The Randall Club will celebrate the sixth
anniversary of its organization at its elegant
new club rooms, 432 Duquesne way, Thurs
day evening next, at o'clock. The history
of this successful organization is as follows:
During the Presidential campaign of 1884
few active young Democrats met at the st.
Charles Hotel and agreed to form an organi-
zation to be called the Randall Club. The
club from the first was a success. After
marching in the campaign OF 1884 they met
and decided to form permanent organization
and under the lead of John j. McCaffrey,
j. j. Flannery, j. E. McCrickert, John J.
O'Leary and Others, secured rooms on
Smlthfield street, where they remained until
shey found more eligible quarters at 73 Sixth
avenue, which filed the bill until the aug
mented membership compelled the club to
seek home capable Of accommodating its
500 members.
July l, Of this year, the club purchased
the old james McAuley mansion, which had
history as the quarters OF one OF the Old
City leaders long before many of the men,
bers of the Randall Club were born. Ii the
old walls could speak they would many a
tale adorn. The club has at considerable
expense renovated and changed this build
ing to make it suitable to all wants.
The ex-Presidents, James j. Flannery,
John %. McCrickart and j. PRESLEY Flem-
ing. will all be present to give their expert
ence and add a word of encouragement, as
they represent all phases of the clubs trials
and prosperity. The celebration will be
very Democratic affair No invitations will
be issued except to the clubs members, but
all Democrats of good standing will be made
welcome at the feast OF good things which
the clubs trustees have provided. A history
of the club will be read by President f. j.
Weixel, to be followed by music, recitations
and speeches. All the leading Democrats
OF Allegheny county will be present.

TALK OF EXTRADITIoN.
Irish Police Ordered to Follow and Arrest
the Absconders.

Irish Police Ordered to Follow and Arrest
the Absconders.
rBY DUNLAP's CABLE coMPANY.l
LONDON, October 1.-THE London cor
respondent of the Liverpool Post says he
has heard that the Irish police have been in
structed to proceed on the track of Messrs.
Dillon and O'Brien and arrest them
before they can commence their cam
paign in America This involves
an action under the extradition law. Apro
pos of this report, the Pail Mall Gazette
prints the following paragraph: ''Mr Bal
four" said a leading Irishman in London,
'has only one more mistake to make, and he
will make it if he takes proceedings under
the extradition act. Not only would the
Republican government, if it assented to
the extradition of Messrs. Dillon and
O'Brien, insure the defeat of its party at the
next election, but 1,OOO, 600 Irishmen would
stand at arms in "a hours, and Canada
would not be worth couple of hours pur-
chase"
The Pail Mall Gazette, which is the
strongest supporter of the Irish in England,
then goes on to say: "We do net think that
all the English supporters of the Irish
cause altogether like the escape or escapade
of Mr.. Dillon ana Mr.. 0'Brien. 1t is
smart, of course and funny, but to many
the cleverness seems too clever. 1t viii
rouse Irish American enthusiasm to fever
heat and add tens of thousands of pounds to
the proceeds. There will doubtless be an
O'Brien in America, and the melodrama to
be played to the American gallery will un-
questlonably bring down the house."

the strategic value of the proposed ship canal.
He had no figures of the proposed width or
depth to be given it.
''There sno doubt of one thing, however,"
said he, that such canal would be of vast
value to the country in hel ling to secure
for it the uninterrupted passage way of our
merchant marine from the northern lakes
to the mouth of the Mississippi. 1 do not
see that there would ever be any occasion to
use it for ships of war unless there should
be another civil war, which 1 sincerely trust
will not be the case. For the commercial
interests of the country it would be exceed

longer used at the funerals of grown people.
FURNISHING A CHOIR.
Some families want singing at the house
and at the grave, and thev look to the under
takers to hire choir Tor them. All these
features cost money, and you see how it is
possible to run up the cost OF burial to any
figure.
There is no undertakers' union in Pitts
burg. They do exist in other cities. We
have State association which meets annu-
ally for an Interchange of ideas, bat no at
tempt is made to establish uniform prices,
or system for the collection of bad debts.
My experience has been that such organiza-
tions are useless. In this as in every other
business one must exercise his judgment
and look out for himself. find the poor
people are always willing to pay and do
pay for the burial of their dead. Sometimes
we are nipped, but it is not often. 1 wish
to add, too, that the cost of funerals is less
in Pittsburg than in other cities.
DISPENSING WITH A HEARsE.
eff the person does not die of a contagious
disease the municipal laws will permit you
to take the body in the casket with you into
entailed. The SIS charged for the hearse can
be saved. Few people are willing to bury
their dead in this way, even if they lack the
money at the time"
A number of other funeral directors talked
in similar strain. One who dies leaving
behind a large family or number of rela-
tives, is unfortunate if his people are poor.
1t sometimes requires as many as 20 car
riages to haul the relatives alone, and
this item in this case would amount to
$50. In villages and the smaller
towns people usually walk, and Washington

MIR. HARRINGTON's OPINION.
The Trial Only Plot to Keep OBrien and

fBT DUNLAP'S CABLE CoMPANYI
TIPPERARY, October 11.-Mr. Timothy
Harrington, M. P, in an interview on the
Dillon-O Brien trial, said: "From the COM
mencement it was clear that the proseeu-
tions were dodge to prevent Dillon and
O'Brien from proceeding to America. No
sooner had the date of their departure been
announced than the prosecution was set on
foot for acts six months old. O'Brien and
Dillon saw clearly it was plot to prevent
the appeal to their American friends and
were informed that the instructions to the
prosecuting counsel were to ask that the
defendants be put under bail 70 keep the
peace. This the Crown knew the defendants
would refuse to do; hence imprisonment
would follow and their American mission
would be frustrated.
but they are equally determined to defeat
Balfour's scheme OF preventing the appeal
to America. They will first proceed on the
American mission, and when they have
placed the eyicted tenants in a position of
security they will readily submit to any
form of trial Mr.: Balfour may choose"
The Star answers the charge that Messrs
Dillon and O'Brien have thrown away
e., 900 bail of the Leagues money by say
ing that their gains in America will wipe
out that amount ten times over. Certain of
the English radical press doubt the wisdom
of the flight, and it is said that Mr.. Parnell
is also opposed to the elopement policy,
having for that reason absented himself
from the Dublin gathering.

A BIG STRUGGLE IMPENDING.
The Dockers Strike the Forerunner of a
Great Labor Contest.

Great Labor Contest.
,BY CABLE TO THE pIsPATcHi
LONDON, October ia section of the
London dockers have given trouble this
week. They have been paid high rates for
unloading corn cargo, realizing the almost
unprecedented wages for an English laborer
of Is shillings daily. They struck for 80
per cent increase in the case of two steamers,
the Grecian and Towerhill, alleging that
the awkward holds neces STATED in
creased labor This the owners denied
and called upon the union leaders
to direct the men to work in accordance
with the terms of the dockers' agreement.
Tillett and Mann inspected the ships and
held that the men had no cause for COM
plant, and called upon them to unload the
vessels. The dockers emphatically de-
clined, and stuck to their original demands.
Tiliett threatened to strike them off the
union books and bring in new men, but
without effect; and while the quarrel be-
tween the dockers and their leaders was pro-
crossing, the owners were suffering loss of
e200 daily. In those circumstances Til
lett's advice to the owners to have patience,
tended rather to exasperate than pacify.
Finally the owners yielded an advance of
25 per cent and the work proceeded. The
incident, however, is instructive. 1t shows
the London docker has gotten out of the hand
of the leaders, and the disclosures now made
and the unrefuted charges of idleness
brought against the men have alienated
public sympathy. The owners are only
waiting for cold weather when all labor will
be plentiful, to resort to lockout of union
hands, and to cement that free labor league
for which they have already made extensive
preparations. The Employers Association
means business, and the coming winter is
sure to bring another bitter struggle in the
labor world,

THE FAMINE FUND.
ENGLISH NEWSPAPERS PREDICTING ITS
TOTAL FAILURE.

Poor Law Guardians and Clergymen Main

War Subscription Likely to be Good
Gladstonians Hopeful.
rBY CABLE TO THE D1sPATcH.l
LONDON, October 1.-THE English news
papers are being daily supplied with cable
grams alleging or predicting a collapse of
the American-Irisk famine fund. The
cablegrams are given prominent position
and the biggest type. and evidently afford
much qualification to the Tory editors.
The week has passed in Iceland without
one of the boasted public works advancing
beyond the paper stage. Jackson, the Sec
retary of the Treasury, will return to Dub
lin Monday to proceed with what is semi
officially termed: "His investigations into
the proposed light railways in the west of
Ireland" He is credited with desire that
at least two railways shall be commenced at
once, but no move has been made. On the
other hand, the poor law guardians and
clergymen have been meeting in confer
ence and passing resolutions recording the
actual state of affairs, and warning the Gov
ernment TO be ready to meet a period of
widespread distress, if not of actual famine.
The English war fund, which has been
started to help Ireland in her Constitutional
struggle, is likely to be productive of good.

effort is being made to get all the radical

and con ierence OF sympathizers with Ire
land will be held at an early date at the
National Liberal Club, London, when the
plan of the new campaign will be drawn up.
The Gladstonians are sanguine of winning
at least at the Eceles polling, for which an
election will take place on the 22d instant.
The constituency is largely composed of
miners, and the election hinges upon the
legal eight hours working day. The Tory
has refused to vote for it; the Gladstonian
is in favor of it, and at miners meetings
throughout the constituency, resolutions are
being unanimously adopted in his favor.

An Alleged Understanding With Reid
Paris Talk.
PARIS, October 11-Deputy Laurent per
sists in his intention of charging M.
Rouvier. Minister of Finance, with specu-
lation - upon the reopening of the
Chamber of Deputies, and also Of
raising opposition concerning the deficit in
the budget. The question of the election of
members OF the Senate by direct universal
suffrage will also be present in the lower
House, and M. B. Risson will demand that
religious orders be compelled to obey the
law and pay their taxes, something which
he declares they have hitherto avoided do
ing.
The agitation over the new United States
tariff law was greater than ever during the
last week. The widest ideas as to the scope
and effect of the law were prevalent. Lyons
virulently demonstrated against heavily in
creased duties on silk; Bordeaux was
equally excited about wine, and the whole
or France was in a condition of extreme ir-
ritation and precision which was reflected
by the newspapers. NJ. Lockroy treats the
idea of European soelver against America
as Utopian. He holds that France,
unassisted by other countries, can
open the gates of the American
Chinese wall by profting by the
word reciprocity, which figures in
the new law, aud urges approval of the for
eign officers negotiations on the subject. He
is supposed to refer to an alleged under
standing between NJ. Ribot, Minister of For
eign Affairs, and Mr.. Whitelaw Reid, the
United States Minister, regarding certain
concessions which France will make pro-
vided America does not increase the taxes
on certain French products, notably wines.
The details of this understanding, if such
exists, have not been made public, but the
French newspapers positively announce that
it does exist.
The Mot d Ordre thinks that America
should receive French goods little better
and OrleaHist pretenders who seek to over
turn the French Republic little less
France, it SAYS, considers the
American Orleanist manifestations ridicu-
lous. La France publishes statements at
tributed to Secretary Blaine disayowing
any political significance in the reception
accorded to the Comte de Paris.

to number of French artists and Govern
ment officials, among whom were MN. Jo-
seph Reinach, Maynard, Bonnat, Jerome,

comedy at Tipperary this week, farce was
played upon the same boards. The victims
of police brutality, witnessed by John Nor
ley, summoned the constables concerned for
assault, and the crown had the cool impu-
dence to issue cross summonses. The wolf,
in fact, accused the lamb of assault and bat
terry. An ex-police officer presided on the
bench, and five police magistrates helped
him, all being directly connected with the
constabulary whose conduct was impugned.
The result was foregone conclusion. Their
worships decided in favor of the police
upon every point raised, and finally counsel
for the plaintiffs withdrew from the case in
disgust
