WASHINGTON, Sept. 14.-A romantic
story Is recalled about the life OF Cap
tain Edward O'Meagher Condor, in
spector Of public buildings under the
architect Of the treasury, who died sun
day on his way to Helena, Mont, while
en- route In the discharge OF his duty.
He was born In Ohio about 1887 Of Irish
parents, and at the beginning of the war
went TO New York, where the organiza-
tion Of the Irish Legion was
going ON, and was the first
volunteer to enlist in the COM
pany Of Captain Oulahan, of the old
One Hundred and Sixty-fourth. After
serving with distinction during the war
he was discharged with the rank Of
captain, and then on account Of his
Irish affiliations became involved in the
schemes and plottings Of the Fenians,
whose organization at that time ex-
tended to all parts Of this country and
TO England. In the interests Of the So
ciety he finally left the United States,
and with some other companions, who
scattered themselves through several Of
the garrisons and posts of England, he
began the delicate undertaking OF stir
ring up disaffection among regiments
stationed throughout the country. While
engaged in this work some Of the party
were detected and placed under arrest.
Condor and some others, who were
still at liberty, conceived the bold plan
OF hberating them while on their way to
prison in the police van in Manchester.
The attempt was In part successful.
The conveyance was held up in broad
daylight on the street, but the
door being locked it was nec-
sssary to force an exit for those within,
and Condor put his revolver to the lock
OF the door. intending to blow it open,
but the constable, who was inside with
the prisoners, had his eye on the KEY
hole ct the time, trying to see what was
the matter outside, and in this position
he received the bullet in the brain.
There were friends of the hold-ups near
BY. and Col. Kelley and Capt. Dsasy, in
whose behalf the rescue was attempted,
got safely of. but Condor and three
Others, Allen, Larkin and O'Brien. were
arrested. The rescuers who were cap
tured were sentenced to be hanged and
drawn and quartered, and on Allen, Lar
kin and OFBrien the sentence was ex-
Eecuted. But in the case of Capt. Con.
don the president of the United States
was induced, through the efforts of

excitement among the Republicans

effort is being made, we understand,
to have him retired from the Repub-

named in his stead. This may suit

noxious to the Democrats. He
touched upon the proposed repeal of

a pleasing and entertaining speech,
only served to show the weakness and
