AFRAID OF HEALY.
His Attacks ON ParnelI May Postpone
Settlement of the Irish Trouble.

His Attacks ON Parnoll May Postpone ~
Settlement of the Irish Trouble.
DUBLIN, Jan. 19.-Among the Irish
party the signs of peace are obscured by
the continued aggressiveness and vio-
lence of Healy, and the Mccarthy faction
do not conceal their fear that Parnell
may become so irritated by Healy's atti-
tude as to imperil the alleged agreement
now existing for Parnell's retirement
1t is regarded as certain that Parnell
will retire if he can be permitted to do so
honorably and not under the apparent
spur of Healy's assaults.
Should John Dillon be selected as the
leader of the Irish Parliamentary party
Mr.. William O'Brien will promptly re-
visit the United States, where he will re-
sumo the work of arousing the Irish
Americans to further efforts in behalf of
Ireland.
Smith-Barry the Tipperary landlord
and NJ. P. for Huntington, is receiving
congratulations ON all sides for his vic
tory over the "plan of campaign. The
battle would have ruined most men finan-
cially and has cost him about half a
million dollars. Most of the farms are
again occupied by tenants.

He Says the Delay in Reaching n Com
promise Is Not Due to Him.
LONDON, Jan. 19.-Mr Parnell had a
great reception at Tralee. There was
immense cheering, mingled with only a
few groans, making it evident that the
people of that place are generally in his
favor.
Mr.. Parnell made an open air speech,
in which he defended his policy of land
and home rule He concluded his speech
with these words:
81 have no desire to fight, and shall go
into it only when 1 see that my duty
clearly compels me to do so. The part l
could do towards the solution was eff
fected when l came to an understanding
with Mr.. O'Brien a fortnight ago.
81 do not know what has happened
since. There has been great delay, but
it was not of my origin. 1 made up my
mind PA hours after my first interview
with Mr.. OBrien as to- what should and
ought to do, and told him So
1.-THE fortnight's delay has been a delay
on the part of my opponents. 1t has
not been mine. 1 know not what their
mind or will may be, or what action
those trembling, vacillating politicians
have decided to take; though l do not
know, if there is no possible solution,
the fault will not be mine but theirs
The Irish people will recognize that 1
have to-day spoken truly"

CHICAGO. ILL.,, Jan. 19.-John L. Sulli,
van says that Wakely and Lynch have
laid before him, presumably for New Or,
leans friends of Slavin, a proposal to
fight the Australian for $4,000. Sulli-
vans reply is:
81 will give Slavin $4,000 or 5000 if
he will show that he can stand before me
for six rounds with five ounce gloves.
This as soon as my present engagement
will permit.
"The facts about this business" con-
tlnued Sullivan, care that while I have
demonstrated that am champion of the
world, there are three men who still call
themselves champions. They are Jim Cor
bett, Slavin and Jake Kilrain. Now
want these men to decide among them
selves which, of the three is the champion,
By that time 1 will be through with my
present engagement and | will meet the
winner in a glove contest. do not want
any more fist fights because they have
been declared illegal, and there is no use
running up against the law. A glove
tight will settle the question:
Sullivan will fight, any of these So
called champions in the rooms of the
athletic club that puts up the biggest
purse" interposed Jim Wakeley.

-HAcKENsAcK, N. J., Jan. 19.-There are
MANY men in Cherry Hill who would en-,

HILL WILL BE SENATOR.
IAS Governor Will Probably Accept the
Nomination This Evening. :

ALBANY, N. Y, Jan. 19-Chairman
.Eurphy of the State Democratic Commit
tee told a reporter that Gov. Hill will be
nominated for the United States Senate
this afternoon and will accept.
Speaker Sheehan was seen and asked
if the rumor was true that Governor
Hill would accept the Senatorship.
Mr.. Sheehan replied: Governor Hill
is not a candidate for Senator. He will
do nothing to influence the action of the
Legislature, and has no aspirations for
the office.
"He realizes, however, as we all do,
the closeness of the vote on joint ballot,
by which the detection of a single vote
may lose the Democrats the Senatorship,
and he appreciates the desirability of
avoiding a conflict among friends, where
by friction and unpleasantness might by
created which would possibly imperil an
election.
"If the Democratic members of the
Legislature believe that contest can be
avoided and success absolutely assured
by the presentation of his name, he will
accept the honor conferred, with the I'M
derstanding among his party friends
that he shall substantially serve out his
term as Governor before taking his seat
in the Senate"
Several attempts were made to-day to
interview the Governor, but he refused
to talk. His close friends say, however,
that his name will be the only one pre-
scented.
1t is said here to-day that Demarest,
the Assemblyman accused of forgery,
will not be allowed to vote and will not
present himself for that purpose. At the
joint session the Democratic nominee
will have but one majority.

Modern Enoch Arden Story Creates No
Little Excitement.
WnKEsBARRE, Pa, Jan. 19.-In 1888
William Evans and Maggie Williams
were residents of Tamaqua, Schuylkill
County. They fell in love and were
married. Evans, who had previously
worked in the mines, had saved a little
money, and after the marriage started a
small mercantile business. He did not
succeed very well, and becoming dis
couraged sold out and went to Colorado.
Two children had been born to the
couple.
For two years Evans worked in Colo.
RADIO mines and sent money to his wife
monthly. Then he fell sick, was taken
to hospital, and that was the last his
wife heard of him until some months
later when she received a newspaper con-
tanning a notice of her husbands death
Mrs. Evans removed to Wilkesbarre to
keep house for an uncle, and here in the
spring of 1889 she was married to Joe S.
Jenkins, who is well to do. One child
was born to them.
On Friday last Mrs Jenkins heard
knock at her front door, and she sent
her oldest girl to open it. A well dressed
man who stood in the doorway said to
the little girl:
SIS your mamma in and is she all
alone?'
He was told that Mrs. Jenkins was at
home and he walked in.
Mrs. Jenkins at once recognized him as
her old husband and she tainted.
Evans subsequently explained that it
was another Evans whose death his wife
had read of.
When Jenkins came home the men
talked the natter over sensibly, and as
Mrs. Evans-Jenkins said she loved them
both they decided to draw straws to see
which should retain the place of hus-
band. The woman agreed.
The straws were drawn and Evans
won. Husband No. 2 packed up all his
belongings and moved out of the house.
Mrs. Evans still retains possession of his
child with his consent.
Early this week Evans will remove his
family to Denver. The affair has created
no little excitement here. The parties
to it reside in HeyI street.
