Letters of Farewell.
Angelo Petrillo. the condemned muir.
derer of Michael Dimeo, will be hanged one
week from to-day. He has at last come to
the conclusion that all that can be has
been done to cave his life, and he is now
fully resigned to his fate. He Lis seeming
ly enjoying his last few days on earth as
much as any man possibly can who has
knowledge of his impending doom.
Every morning he rises about 8 O'Clock,
takes bath, eats hearty breakfast and
then exercises for about half an hour in
pacing the corridor. The time between
meals is spent mostly in writing and draw
ing. During the time of his confinement
he learned to write a very fair hand, where
as when he first went there he was unable
to trace even a single character.
The condemned man has written letters
of farewell to his friends, thanking them
for all they had done for him, and stating
that he was resigned to his fate and would
die calmly and without making any scene
One of these letters was sent to his at
torney, ]. P. Goodharr. Petrillo has also
had his pictures taken. and will send these
also to his friends. He Is bearing up well
and is almost stolid in his indifference to
his impending doom.

Birmingham Fights.

BIRMINGHAM, Nov. 8.-(special.) THE
air seemed to be full of fight last night.
There was prize fight in barn about
two miles from here. The contestants
were Jack O'Neill of Bridgeport and
Tommy Dutton of New Jersey, The men
fought two rounds and the referee wanted
to award the purse, $500, to O'Neill. The
usual result, free fight, ensued and now
nearly all the sports in town are decorated
with discolored optics, torn clothes, and
chewed fingers. The prize fight WAS In
definitely postponed.
John Burnley came home from the prize
fight feeling little out of sorts. He
assaulted Thomas Mckay, a saloon keeper,
and then went outside and broke several
| windows. He was arrested and held under
bonds of 100.
Peter Keefe, eaIoon-keeper here, went
to the prize fight, leaving his wife in charge
of the saloon. About 10 o'clock as she
was about to close up, three men entered
the place and while one held her by the
throat the other two went through the
| place in search of booty. They secured
S25 in cash and several bottles of liquor
| The men have not yet been caught nor has
| any clue to their identity or whereabouts
been obtained.

A Spirited Reply to the Malicious
Assaults of the Democracy and Its
Organs.
NEW York, Nov. 6-Patrick Egan has
sent the following to Patrick A. Collins of
Boston:
S1R:-I perceiye by your letter, published
in this mornings papers, that at the call
of the democratic committee you have un-
dertaken to palliate the brutal attack
which, in the interest of your party, and
amid tho loud cheers of democrats assem-
bled in Cooper Union, the know-nothipg,
Wayne MacVesgh, thought well to make on
me, based upon my Irish record. If am not
most mistaken, your facetious attempts to
eneer at Irishmen will be resented by q
| very large number of those who " ere your
friends, and let me say that the ground
| upon which you base your sheer Is erro-
neous, as neither orally nor in writing
have made any appeal to "Irishmen." l
there are some millions who are not
ashamed of the name. In defense
of your client you endeavor to dwarf
the attack on Wayne MacVeagh into a
| personal matter between himself and me.
Let there be no mistake about it; those
| coarse and brutal assaults were not direct
ed against me personally. They were made
on account of my Irish birth and my Irish
record and were consequently directed
against every man and woman in this
country with drop of Irish blood in theil
veins.
This attack of Wayne McVeagh is but
one of the general round of attacks made
upon me for the same reasons from demo
| cratic sources.

whole mugwump and by almost the entir,
democratic press, including the New Yorl
Herald, the New York World, the New

throughout the southern states. Thos
papers attacked me as an ''1rish tramp,

A GOOD CAUSE.

A Meeting to Further the Closing OF
the Worlds Fair on Sundays-Com-
promise a Fatal Heresy-MiIIion OF
Petitioners.
BosToN, Nov. Ga meeting to further
the prospect of closing the Columbian
exposition on Sunday was held in the
Peoples church this afternoon, under the
auspices of the Massachusetts, Sunday Pro-
tective league. Its president, Rev. Reuben
Thomas, D. D., presided, and stated the
object of the gathering, which, judging by
the many present, has liberal indorse-
ment. Rev. W. W. Ramsey, D. D., of the
fremont street ii. e. church was the first
speaker. He said:
"There is fatal heresy in the COM
promise to close the exposition
for one-half of Sunday. The
American nation stands for law
and order, and let 1t be demonstrated at
Chicago as elsewhere" Rev. L. Mclean
of Chicago, secretary of the Columbian
Sunday association in that city was the
next speaker. He stated that the Chicago
saloons have become headquarters for
securing signatures to petitions against
closing the fair on Sunday. In closing Mr..
Mclean stated that the association had re-
ceived 28, SOC, 900 names and memorials
petitioning that the fair be closed on Sun
days
The following resolutions were passed by
a standing vote:
That the residents of Boston and citi-
zens of the United States in mass meeting
assembled heartily approve the action of
congress in imposing the Sunday closing
restrictions as wise and good in the inter
est of public morality and emphatic in its
testimony to that divinely appointed day
of rest which has had such wide observ-
ance in Americas history.
That We earnestly condemn as false the
statement industriously circulated that the
saloonkeepers in Chicago favor a closed
fair on Sunday, and we call the attention
of the public to the fact that q recent
careful canvass of these saloons has shown
that they engaged in securing signatures
to the petitions asking congress to open
the fair to the public on the Sabbath.
That we deprecate the further agitation
on this question as injurious to the sue
cess of the exposition and calculated to dis
turb the peace of society by arraying
against each other the non Christian and
Christian elements of this nation.
Rev. A. 81. Plumb read letters from DR..
Little and Rev. A. q. Gordon, expressing
indignation at the attempts to have the
fair open on Sunday.
Last to be heard was Rev. Joseph Cook.
who attacked the statements of Bishop
Potter relative to Sunday opening.
The audience Joined in singing Gamer

Arctic to-day, brings the news of the de-
struction of the whaling bark Helen Mac,

NEW YORK, Nov. 6.-Chairman Carter
of the republican committee has received
the following from General Russell A
Alger, dated at Houghton, Mich:
I am greatly surprised at Past Com
mander-in-Chief Rea's eulogy upon Mr..
Cleveland. How many veterans can read
the list of 524 vetoes of meritorious pen
sion bills, many of which were for poor
old mothers and widows and all in great
needs, without feeling of the deepest in
dignation, 1 cannot understand. There ia
no record where Mr.. Cleveland expressed
any interest for the Union soldier during
the war or where he rendered the Union
cause any service save the questionable
one of sending q substitute to avoid the
possible contingency of being called upon
to serve in person.

Boston, Mass, Nov. 6.-At 1890 p. m.
Saturday fire was discovered in the shop
on Border street, East Boston, and by the
time the fire apparatus reached the place a
lively blaze was in progress. The whole
building was soon a mass of flames which,
driven by a strong westerly wind, soon
spread to q. Murray's planning mill adjoin-
ing. A second alarm was sounded at 10:40,
bringing assistance from Chelsea and the
city proper. The freboat also rendered
valuable assistance. A large amount of
coal owned by the Boston Towboat COM
pany was saved, largely through the eff
forts of the freboat. The fire soon COM
inundated to the following buildings:
Towle & Fosters stair building shop,
Graham & Cameron's carpenter and house
building establishment, II. Drake & Sons
carpenter shop and McHugo & Shows box
factory. At 11:30 third alarm was
sounded At midnight the fire had burned
over territory or ABOUT four acres and
had consumed seven buildings, and the
fremen directed their efforts to preventing
the flames spreading. An hour later the
fire was under control, when all that re
NAMED of the seven buildings was a mass
of twisted iron and warped machinery.
The flames illuminated the city for miles
around and attracted a large number of
spectators. At least two hundred men
have been deprived of employment by the
fire. The insurance carried was very small
owing to the high rates charged
by the insurance companies. The losses
and insurance were: d. Drake & Son,
machinery and stock, 1oss estimated at
$75,0 900, insurance $4,000; Graham &
