Bad Reports OF How the Holiday Was
Spent i'm Ireland.
DUBLIN, Jan. 2.-Another outrage bv
moonlighters is reported from Tullah. a
small town in County Clare. On Satur-
day night a band OF moonlighters who
had drudge against a man EMPLOYED
by the family of the late Judge
Brown visited the Brown residence,
which is situated short distance from
the town. The band, who were in dis
gulse, entered the house and de-
manded to know the whereabouts of the
man servant. The man was absent and
the only occupants of the house were
the daughters of the magistrate. They
informed the mOonlighters that the man
was not in the house. The chief moon
lighter then drew revolver and fred
upon one of the girls. The bullet went
wide of it's mark. He then amused
himself by firing at random about the
room until his weapon was empty.
when they all withdrew.
A party of Parnellites at Kilrush. who
were celebrating the new year last
night, designed to wreak vengeance on
their political enemies, the anti-Par-
nellltes. They marched in a body to
the rooms occupied by the workmen's
club and made an attack with stones
upon the building, smashing all the win
dows and doing other damage. The
mob gained fresh accessions while this
attack was going on, and when
proposal was made to attack
the temperance hall it was re-
ceived with applause. In short time
the hall was in as bad state of wreck
as the workingmen's hall. The police
were absent. The mob then attacked
the residences of the town commission
ers, who are supporters of Timothy
Healy, and other men who have been
active opponents OF the Parnellites.
Considerable damage was done, and the
women in the houses were terribly
frightened. TowBrds morning the mob
dispersed. To-day large number of
the rioters were arrested.

TRAGEDY In EARNEST.

An Amateur Actress stumbles and Kills .
Man.
San Francisco, CAL, Jan. 1.-The old
year was closed last night by unique
and terrible tragedy by which Sydney
Mccoy, a young lawyer, aged SO, lost his
life, and Miss Grace King, aged 10
years, who accidentally killed him, has
been in an unconscious condition all day.
A party Of about fifty friends as
semDied last night at Mccoy house, on
Guerrero Street, to watch the old year
go out and the new year in. The feat
ure OF the evening entertainment was
the production OF q short play written
by Mccoy and performed by amateurs.
The plot of the play was the betrayal of
a band of Russian Nihilists by one of
their number. The Nihilists discover
their traitor and condemn her to death.
They decide by lot who shall perform
the character portrayed by Mccoy,
Miss King playing the part Of
traitor. She is given the choice
of being killed or stabbing herself, and
chooses the latter alternative. Mccoy
handed her long dagger, which had
benin the family for many years. In the
play the girl, instead of killing herself,
was to stab her executioner, and as Miss
King received the knife she reached
forward to touch Mccoy on the breast
with the knife. At the same instant
Mccoy started towards the girl, when
she stumbled, and, falling forward with
the dagger in her hand drove it through
McCoy's heart. Mccoy showed Won
derful vitality and presence of mind.
He walked into the next room aud asked
for doctor, and then tell dead.
The girl knew there had been an acct
dent OF some kind, but did not know
Mccoy was killed. She was taken home
and afterwards, on the advice of friends,
gave herself up to the police. She was
taken to the city prison at 3 o'clock in
the morning, and when she entered the
prison tainted, and has since remained
unconscious.
This morning McCoy's two brothers
secured her release by giving bonds for
$4,000 for her appearance. The girl
was then taken home, and is in crit
ical condition. The accident is ex
planned by the fact that recently Miss
King suffered from sprained ankle
and she had been using crutches to
walk with, but had laid them aside to
practice the part in the play. AS she
made motion to stab Mccoy she
rested her weight on the weak foot, it
gave way and she fell forward.

to-day giving 200 per cent. bonds of

terest payable in gold. For the last
two months the trustees of the uni
versity have been endeavoring to per-
suade Mr.. Rockefeller to give them
s., 100000 in order to carry out
some of the cherished plans. The New
York capitalist objected to giving that
sum outright, but submitted PROPOSE
ton for vast sum to be given, provid-
ing certain plans, which he suggested,
be carried out. This proposition was
submitted to the trustees to-day. II
cannot give you the exact figures" said
one of the trustees. this afternoon, "but
of Mr.. Rockefeller we have now fund
which will enable President Harper to
carry forward the institution on the
broad basis which he conceived for it.
It is noble gift indeed, and it is we'll
for .Chicago and the world that such
philanthropists exist"
From another source it was learned
exactly what the gift was. The latest
gift OF 100000 from Mr.. Rockefeller
comes in 900 per cent. bonds of the
par value of ST. 100000, principal and
interest payable in gold. The bonds
are to be delivered to the university

Arrival of the Umbria-Good News to In
surance Mep.
LONDON, Dec. 31.-The safe arrival of
the Umbria at New York has proved
gratifying news to the underwriters
who had taken risks upon her and her
cargo. They express high admira ton
for Capt. McKay's seamanship, and are
happy because he refused to accept as
sistance. and they calculate that had he
accepted an offer to tow, and had the
towing steamer succeeded in taking
him into port, salvage of ESQ, 900
might have had to be paid. Large risks
were taken by the underwriters at %
guineas premium until yesterday, when
the reassurlng reports received from
incoming steamers at New York caused
that rate to drop to guineas. The gen.
eral result of the anxiety regarding the
Umbria's safety is that the underwriters
have made large profits.

A SCHEME THAT FAILED.
A Report That Mrs. Maybrick Swallowed
Needles.

Needles.
LONDON, Dec. 3l.-Baroness de Rogue,
the mother Of Mrs. Maybr states to-
day that her daughters health is i'm
pro wing. The Exchange Telegraph
Company also says that Mrs. May brick
is recovering, adding that the hemorr-
hayes with which she was recently at
tackled, and which caused the report
that she was in a dying condition,
were caused by herself and not by the
ravages of consumption. According to
some of the newspapers here the re-
ported illness of Mrs. Mavbrick was
nothing less than an attempt on her
part to create public sympathy for her.
self and to induce Mr.. Asquith, the
home secretary, to release her from con-
fnement. The st. James Gazette
to-day prints m article on Mrs.
Maybrick, and congratulates the
public upon the non-success of her
ingenious attempt to regain her free
dom. The Gazette declares that her
illness was caused by her swallowing a
lot of needles that she had secreted
from time to time. These needles pro-
duced an effusion of blood and other
symptoms of lung disease, and the re-
port was at once circulated that she was
diving from consumption.
