Conquest Of the Four Hundred.

BILE road magnate of Chicago, has built
q 81, 600, 900 residence in New York,

ing to break into the exclusive Four

rake It Aisy.n

One cannot travel i'm Ireland without
perceiving that the so many horsepower

Of life is not one that lie accepted by the
Irish people, and / do not think it ever

their chief occupations, their tempera-
ment, all of which ] suppose are closely
allied, are opposed to it.
The saying, Take it aisy, and if you
can't take it aisy take it as aisy as you
can, :" doubtless represents their theory
of life, and, tor my part, If it were a
question either of dialectics or of NOR
ais, / would sooner have to defend that
view of existence than the SO many

getting all he can but of himself in q
direction, he will, it seems to me, rig
idly and carefully abstain from doing
so in the interests of that catholic and
harmonious development which requires
that he should get a little ont OF him

The wife of Robert Powell, a colored
man, living on Cora street, swore out a
warrant for her husbands arrest In Justice
Daniels's court Monday, and Constable
Henninger went to his house to arrest him.
Powell was found and Henninger read the
warrant to him, charging him with assault
and battery OF his wife. Powell asked to
be allowed to 80 UP stairs and change his
clothes. Constable Henninger consented,
but, being a little suspicious of the man, he
kept a close watch out to see that he did
not escape. After a time he heard a noise
on the roof of the kitchen and, going into
the yard, he saw his prisoner about to jump
from the roof into an alley He called to
the man to halt, and ordered him to come
down., saying he would shoot him dead If
he tried to jump. although, in fact, the Off
Ger had no revolver. Powell, however, ac-
cepted the bluff and came to the officer,
and when searched a loaded revolver was
found in his pocket. Yesterday Powell was
tried in Squire Daniels's court. and was

NASHVILLE, Tenn. March 20.-A sensa-
ton was caused by the publication this
morning of the testimony of w. II. Mitchell
before the committee investigating alleged
charges in Connection with the construction
of a new penitentiary. The witness had
heretofore testified that the West Nashville
Land Company had paid him $1,000 COM
missions when the State had bought the
company's property for a farm and on be-
ing again examined yesterday, testified that
of this sum he paid TO Acknowledgement
John A. Fife 500 and to c. c. Estill, presi-
dent of the board of railroad tax assessors.
$500. To-day these two officials resigned and
their designations were accepted by Gov
ernor Turney. The investigation is held
behind closed doors, but the testimony as
to the 81, 900 is substantially correct.
c.. c. Estill went before the investigating
w. H. Mitchell told him he wanted to sell
the State that Cocllrell farm for penitentiary
purposes, and that there was money in 1T

favor of the purchase of this farm to the

jutant-general John A. Fite was also before

$500 from Mitchell, that Mitchell had told
him he wanted to sell the farm
to the State and would pay him for
helping 70 make the trade: that he had adj
vised the purchase before the proposition
made to influence the action of the commits
sion and that he took the money because
Mitchell owed him an old debt much larger
than the sum paid.
