.EICKEE FORTUNE.
Great Fall from Luxury's Pinnacle by
Tire hiring IIrnihcrs.


LONDON, Dec. 20.--lt would be diff
to find parallel to such u sudden de-
scent from immense wealth to compare
tive poverty as that of The partners in
the great firm Of Barring Bros.
Lord Revolstoke was building a
splendid mansion in May Fair, which
was to cost $500, 600, but las surrendered
this as well as the rest Of the property
TO the liquidators to be realized us among
the assets of the firm.
The other partners have dealt with
their property in the same way. Mr.
Hodgson, who was silent partner only,
and drew $200000a year from his share
of the profits of the business, had amag-
niticent place in Kent, where his family
had dwelt for three years, which he has
given over as il stands, house, furniture,
works of art and everything, to the
liquidation, and finds himself beginning
life again at an advanced age on salary
of $4,000 year, in the service of the
revived limited company of Barings u
Co.
Another partner-Mr. Stewart, father
in-law to Herbert Ward, of Stanley and
Africa fame-had purchased one of the
most palatial houses in Carlton House
Terrace, and was spending $750,000 in
decorating and furnishing it. The house
was to have been occupied by him next
spring, and a great house warming was
planned. He considers himself fortu-
nate in obtaining a purchaser for ii in
the person Of Mrs. Mackey, the wife of
the "Silver King" Another member of
the firm, Henry Bingham Mildmay, has
a splendid house and estate in Kent,
which he has found tenant for for
three years in Sir Henry James

DUBLIN, Dec 29.-Thc failure of F.
Il. Debudat & Son, stock brokers of this

of the firm was chairman of the Dublin
Stock Exchange. The firm having been
declared defaulters, Mr.. Copeland, vice
chairman, has succeeded to the presi-
dency of the exchange. The Dublin
Mail estimates the losses at over 81, $780,
900. Another estimate places the liabil-
ities at 100000. Mr.. Dubedat is re-
ported to he missing from his usual
haunts in this city, and could not be
found at his home this afternoon. The
announcement of the firms failure for
time completely disorganizod every
thing on the stock exchange here.
Stocks fell all along the line. Toward
the close of the day there was a slight
recovery.

Terrible Result of the Loss of the steam
ship Shnng Iai--Driven to Death by
tho Flames.
LONDON, Dec. 27-Further advices
from China as to the burning Of the
steamer Shang Hal near Woo Hoo, in
the province of Ngan-Tloei, about so
miles from Nankin, show that the dis
aster was much more serious than at
first imagined. The earlier advices re-
ceived stated that the crew, consisting of
about 60 natives, together with several
European officers, were supposed to
have met death either in the flames or
subsequently by drowning while at
tempting to escape from the burning
vessel. 1t now seems that the number
of lives lost will amount to over 200 and
that they all lost their lives by drowning,
A terrible panic, it appears, occurred
among the Chinese passengers and crew
as soon as the alarm of fire was heard,
and the panic increased terribly when
the flames spread beyond the control OF
the terror-strlcken crew. The few
European officers on board the Shang
Hal seem TO have done their best to
maintain some kind of order among the
| Cinnamon. hut without result. The
large majority of those who lost then
lives did so by jumping overheard in
order to escape from the flames; Others
met their deaths through the swamping
Of the clumsily lowered and overcrcwded
! boats,

osHEAs AssWER TO HEALY.
He Did Not Auction on His Honor to
Phrnell for a seat.

LONDON, Dec. 2S.-Haying been ad-
vised that he cannot bring an action for
libel with hopes of success, Captain
O'Shea has published statement to
disprove the truth of Timothy Healys
taunt that he bartered his wife's honor
to gain seat in parliament.
The letter is dated "Stalbridge, Dec
Gath, 1890" The writer says: "When
| was Liberal whip did my best to
promote your (TIealy's) candidature as n
Liberal and supporter of Mr.. Gladstone
at Middle Armagh, and afterward at
Liverpool in 1885. | quote from letter
from Mr.. Chamberlain to me, dated
December Goth, 1890, in which he says :
Il assume that you will take some notice
of the brutal attack on you, made by
Mr.. IIealy at Kilkenny, though, unless
! am much mistaken, you will have no
legal remedy. His statements are en-
tirely inconsistent with what | know of
| the general election of 1885. According
to my recollection, Mr.. ellneglected
at first to give you any assistance
and did not do so until he
had seen letters from myself to
another person pointing out that YOU
services in the past as an intermediary
between himself and the Liberal party
had been of real advantage to both, and
that such services continue equally
necessary if il was desired to maintain
any kind of friendly relations between
he irish Nationalist and the Liberia
party. Respecting Galway, find tina
| wrote You TO the same effect in Jan
uary, 1886, which letter | authorize you
TO publish if you think il useful. Thii
correspondence ought to afford sutfi
cient evidence that no such completely
existed as your traducer has been basi
enough to insinuate.
The letter from Mr.. Chamberlain il
marked private, ard is dated January
22d, 1896. 1t says; an the present con
dition of Irish affairs it is more thar
ever unfortunate that you have no
found seat. Is there any chance o
your standing for one of those nov
vacant in Ireland? Surely there mus
be an interest in the Irish party TO keel
open channels of communication will
the Liberal leaders. If any possible co
operation is expected it is clear that {
great deal of preliminary talk must b.
had, and doubt if any Liberal leade
is at present in direct or indirect com
munication with the Irish representa-
tiyes. Certainly, l find myself yer,
much in the dark respecting their inten
tons and wishes. Cannot you get MI
Parnells exoquatur for one of tn
vacant seats? 1t is really the least h
can do for you after all you have don
for him.

NOT MUCH or A CHRISTMAS.


We didn't have much of Christmas,
My papa and Rosie and me.
For mamma d gone out to the prison
10 trim up the poor prisoners tree;
And Ethel, my big grown-up sister,
Was down at the 'sylum all day,
To help at the great turkey dinner,
And teach games for the orphans to
play.
She belongs to club of young ladies
With "beautiful object" they say,
IT is TO go among poor lonesome children
And make all their sad hearts more gay.
And auntie-you don't know my auntie :?
(She's my own papa's half-sister Katel
She was 'bliged to be round at the chapel
Till 7 was-oh some time dreadfully
late;
For she pities the poor worn-out curate,
Ills burdens she says, are so grcat
| So she ranges the flowers and the music,
And he goes home around by our gate.
| should think this way must be the
longest,
But then, suppose he knows best;
Aunt Kate says he intones most splendid;
And his name is Nane Algernon West.
NV papa had bought big turkey,
| And had it sent home Christmas Eve;
But there wasn't soul here to cook it;
You sec Bridget had threatened To leave
| If she couldn't 80 OIL with her cousin
Gle doesn't look like her one btu;
She says she belongs to n union
And the union won't let her submit.
So we ate bread and milk for our dinner,
And some raisins and candy, and then
Rose and me went down stairs TO the pam
To look at the turkey again.
Papa said he would take us ont riding;
Then he thought that he didn't quite
dare,
II,
There was dampness and chills in the mir
Oh, the day was so long and so loncsomel
And our papa was lonesome as We;
And the parlUr was drcary-nO sunshine,
And all the sweet roses-thc tea
And the red ones-and ferns and carna-
lions,
That have made our bay window so
bright,
AIamma'd picked for the men at the prison,
To make their bad hearts pure and white.
And we all sat up close to the window,
Rose and me ON orr papas two knees,
And we counted the deHr little brides
That were hopping about on the trees.
Rosie wanted to be q brown sparrow,
But thought / would rather, by far,
BE robin that flies away winters
Where the sunshine and gay blossoms
are
And papa wished he was a Jail bird,
Cause he thought that they Jared the
best
But we all were real glad we weren't
turkeys,
For then we'd been killed with the rest.
That night put into my prayers
Dear God, we've been lonesome to-day
For mamma, aunt, Ethel and Bridget,
Every one of them all went away
Wont you please make a club or society,
Fore it's time for next Christmas to be,
To take care of philanterpists' families
Like papa and Rosie and me?"
And think that my papa's grown pious,
For he listened as still as mouse,
Till got to "Amen;" then he said it
So it sounded all over the house.

DUBLIN, Dec. 26.-The Express of
this city accuses Mr.. Timothy Healy of
making untrue statements, to put it
mildly about the Kilkenny election. For
instance the Express says that Mr..
Healys statement that 400 unionists
voted for Mr. Scully is untrue. The
newspapers of this city in general con-
cur in expressing the belief that the
interviews which are expected to
take place shortly in Paris be-
tween Messrs. Parnell, O'Brien and
other Irish leaders will not result in any
compromise agreement which will allow
Mr.. Parnell to retain the leadership Of
the Irish party. These papers ask what
Archbishop Croke would say on the
subject, what Mr.. Gladstone's opinion
would be and what views Mr. Morley
would take of compromise arrange
ment. They and these gentlemen must
be consulted before any terms are de-
cided upon between the Irish leaders
as to the continuance of Mr.. Parnell in
power.

Senator Vance Writes Letter which
Ends tho Fight Against Him.

tlAo AAA'f'
CHARLOTTE, n. C., Dec. 29-The Farmers
Alliance fight on Senator Hebulon b.
Vance in this state, which has agitated the
people since last June, is evidently over.
The war was waged hot and fast, and Mt
last, much to the surprise of many OF the
senator's friends and the joy of the ALI
ance, he has written letter which has
ended the controversy.
At the beginning of the campaign last
summer Mr.. Vance wrote to the president
of the North Carolina Alliance that he
could not support the sub-treasury scheme.
The senator intimated to the Alliance folks
that II was his private opinion that they
were poking their noses into other people $
affairs. His letter was like n challenge for
fight and the Alliance men were not
tardy in throwing off their gloves. Mr..
Vance took the stump and spoke at per
haps hundred places in the state. His
speeches were severely criticised by the
Alliance organ, edited by President Polk
of the National Alliance, and soon feel
ing was worked up against the senator, al
though at the beginning he was the most
popular and beloved man who ever claimed
citizenship in North Carolina.
The election passed of and it seemed
that Vance had somewhat whipped oilt
his former friends, but they did not sue
cumb, and every issue of Folks paper
printed laundering editorials and commu
nications against the senator.
The Alliance president had addressed Q
letter to Mr.. Vance in November rs last
appeal, asking him If he would support
the Sub-rreasury bill if the people shonlt
| by ballot instruct him to do so. Aftei
much delay Mr.. Vance writes from thu
Senate chamber TO say that he is ready
with heart and hand to obey any sort o
instructions his people may give and tina
he is willing to support the Sub-Treasurl
struct him. His letter, while a surprise
was relief to the people, for what woult
have been u bitter fight to the last ditch i
now ended and Vance will succeed him

Legislative Scheme Unopposed.
PITTsBuRG, Dec. 29.-'The Allegheny
county members of the legislature met
this afternoon, and, on motion of Sena-
tor-elect Finn, unanimously endorsed
Cameron for United States senator.
Senator Steele and Representatives
Jones and Nesbitt were not present.
Steel and Jones will abide by the de-
cision of the caucus, but Nesbitt is likely
to do as he pleases. Representatives j.
II. Richards, B. r. Rind and d. h.
Weaver were designated as Allegheny
county's representatives in the state
convention. Action on the speakership
was deferred until next Monday after
noon.
1t is understood that the delegation
will throw its votes where the members
think they will do the most good for
Allegheny county. In pursuance of this
policy il is not unlikely that Reb>esen-
tative Stewart Of this county, will be set
up as straw candidate. There appears
to be no disposition to kick against
Quay's slate for officers of either the
house or senate. Magee will not NEEDLE
with this Legislature in the matter Of
organization or in the work of the session.
