Harrington Agrees.

DUBLIN, Oct. 2S.-Timothy Harring-
ton, the Parnellite leader and member
of parliament for Dublin Harbor, has
given notice that he accepts the PROPOSE.
tion of Archbishop Croke that the Paris
fund should be released from the GUS
tody Of the bankers, in whose charge it
now is, and held by disinterested parties
in behalf of the Irish national cause,
until a decision is arrived at as to the
disposal of the fund. This apparent
termination of the prolonged contro-
versy over the disposition of the fund
causes general satisfaction in Irish circles.
1t is presumed that Mr.. Harrington has
the consent of Mrs. Parnell in this step,
as agreement on her part would prob
ably be necessary in behalf of the estate
of Mr.. Parnell.

Man. Wife aud Daughter InsaDe--Five
small Children.
MINNEAPOLIS, Oct. 2S.--A very sad
spectacle was witnessed at the Central
police station about midnight. An in
sane man, his wife and grown up daugh-
ter, together with five small children,
were brought to the lookup, where they
spent the remainder of the night The
whole family walked into the residence
of j. B. Whitney, at 1919 Queen avenue,
where they lay down ON the floor of the
parlor. The police were notified of the
strange action, and Sergeant Kennedy
took them in charge. 1t seems that the
family left their home ON Blaisdell
avenue some time ago. and for several
days have been roaming about in the
woods north of the city. The man, wife
and grown up daughter are insane. The
small children, of whom there are five,
appear to be rational. They presented q
most woe-begotten appearance, and all
were nearly famished.

WRECKED IN PORT.
The Ship Orissa Dismasted in n
Collision on the Bay.
She Dragged Her Anchor and Crashed Into
the Gowanburn-No Help Came for Hours.
Both Vessels Are Badly Damaged.

The British ship Orissa, which recently
arrived at this port from Newcastle,
n. S. W., met with most remarkable acct
dent on Sunday night. The vessel was
lying at anchor in Mission Bay when sud
denly she began TO drag her anchor, and ii
was not long before she collided with the
British ship Gowanburn with a crash that
could be heard half mile away
The accident occurred at about 10 As
o'clock, and what makes it remarkable is
that at that hour there was very little wind,
although 1t was raining heavily. The shock
dumped most of the sailors out Of their
hunks in both ships. and thoroughly fright
ened they tumbled out on deck b>4 were
forced TO go below again to escape the fall
ing spars and rigging that came crashing
down on the decks CT both vessels.
1t was pitch dark and no one on either
ship dare venture out on deck, though even
IL they had they could have done nothing,
rs the strong tide kept the two ships crash
ing and grinding with considerable force.
Realizing that assistance was urgently
needed, Captain Gerhardt of the GOwan-
burn. who was on board his ship, ordered
rockets and blue lights fired as signal for
the tugs, but, owing, no doubt, to the rain
and mist that hung over the bay, his signals
were not seen by any one on shore.
sUMMONING ASSISTANCE.
At last boat from the ship Ben DOwran
came alongside and inquired what was the
matter. The Waterman of the latter vessel
had heard the crash Of the cOlliding ships
and had called his captain, who himself
could hear the sound of the heavy spars as
they were being torn out OF the luckless
vessels.
'Some ship has run into us and we want
tugs as quick as possible" shouted Captain
Gerhardt, "and, for Gods sake, send them
out as quick as you can" But it was nearly
three hours before the side-lights Of q tug
were seen as she steamed up the bay on her
way to the scene of the disaster.
In the meantime, loud cries and boarSely
shouted orders from the officers of both
ships could be heard amid the swapping and
crashing of the heavy spars, as they were
torn from their faStenngs alOtt and fell TO
the decks with force that made both ships
tremble from stem TO stern.
At last lights we're procured, and than it
was seen that the Orissa was lying right
across the bow of the Gowanburn, which
being light, lowered high above her, while
her massive steel b0wsprt was literally
tearing spar after spar ont Of the Orissa as
if they had been fish poles instead OF the
heavy iron maSts and yards Of big ship.
ARRIVAL OF THE FIRST TUG.
1t was nearly O. clock when the first tug
arrived. and she proved to be the Etna Of

HIS SECOND MAN.
A Timely Rescue by a Quick
Witted Ships Mate.

Second Officer Mckay Of the British ship
West Lothian, rescued another man from
drowning about o'clock last night He
was on the poop deck of the ship, which is
lying at Howard-street Wharf, when he was
startled by loud cries Of Save me, save me. "
On looking over the rail he saw the white
face of man, who was being swept to his
death by the strong tide.
The drowning man observed the officer
and again the cry of Save me" rang out on
the still night air. Mckay seized a life
buoy and threw it to the poor fellow, who
was making a desperate fight for his life,
and he had the satisfaction OF seeing him
seize it. Mckay then called TO some of the
crew and ran ashore and up the wharf to
where schooner was lying.
He did not 90 through the formality OF
asking for the boat, but he and his men
jumped in and put off into the stream. AT
first they could see nothing of the man, and
thought he was gone, but Mckay shouted
and the answer convinced him that the OBJ
ject of his search was still above water.

how he came into the water, but the sup

IT,

A Claim Set Up That No Existing Court
Can Try Them.
Judge Hawley of the United States Cir
cult Court decided yesterday when the
Benson cases came up before him on an
affidavit by counsel for the defense to the
effect that the Circuit Court has no longer
Jurisdiction in the case, that he. personally,
has no jurisdiction, he having been ap-
pointed to the Circuit Court of the Northern
District OF California. He then set the
several cases so far along in the calendar
that they will be apt to come up next time
for q hearing before some Judge regularly
appointed and who will have Jurisdiction.
The point at issue was raised several weeks
ago, and is that since the District of Cali
fOruia was divided into a northern and
southern district, neither has jurisdiction
over the cases IN the OLD district and that
the old court no longer exits
