REVOLUTION IN IRELAND.
A wild Story Published in a London
Newspaper.

London, March 19.-The Dublin CORE
spondent of the Daily Graphic telegraphs
q story, which is taken in all seriousness
by the police OF that city, who are greatly
exercised over the prospect of a raid by
Irish Americans. 1t appears that the
, DUblinites are going to celebrate the cen
tennary of the Irish revolution, which
began in 1898, and which cost the lives
of SO, 900 Irishmen, and 20 900 English
men before it was suppressed in the year
following.
According to the Grapmc's correspond
ent the police have learned from their
agents in the United States that Irish
Americans who sympathiZe with the move
ment, intend to take pa rt in the celebra-
ton TWO steamers viii be chartered
to bring to Ireland as many Irish exiles
as they can carry, who viii take promi-
nent part in the centenary. The authori-
ties have learned that the visitors viii
Include number Of dangerous extremists,
and the gravest fears are entertained for
the public safety.
Forewarned S forearmed. however, and
the Dublin police viii have plenty of time
TO appeal to the imperial authorities If
necessary to prevent Ireland falling prey
to these dangerous agita tors.
The corporation of Dublin, which does
not appear TO share in the fears of the po-
lice that the coming OF the Irsh-Americans
portends another revolution, has granted
the use OF the city hall for purposes of
the celebration.
The story is not likely tocause any great
excitement in official circles

Iron and steel industries appear less like

ing lake ore prices has also had an influ-
ence. There is less demand for American
iron and steel for export, particularly for
northern products
At most of the larger centers the feel
ing of encouragement is stronger among
merchants at the prospect for continued
Improvement in trade, yet the increase in
volume OF business in dry goods, groceries,
hats and clothing compared with preceti-
ing weeks, and with Ike weeks in previous
years, does not equal antioipations.

OSBORNE WILL NOT RESIGN
Holds On to the National Com
mittee Secretaryship.
SAID TO BALK HANNA'S PLAN
The Chairman Desires to Make
Major Dick Secretary and Place
Hin In Charge-The Presidents
Cousin VIII Probably Retire When
He ASSUMES His New Position.


1t appears that Senator Hanna has en-
countered at least one stone wall He
has found man who has much more
comprehensive Influence with the new
President than he himself possesses. Cousin
Osborne is not only going to London, and
to draw the jticiest salary of any living
Republican offieeiiolder, but he insists on
interfering with many of Mr. Hanna's pet
schemes. Senator Hanna is said to have
been very anxious to get Osborne out of
the country So he could have the sine
cure position OF secretary of the national
committee, which gthe latter now holds,
for his own retainer, Major Charles F..
Dick Osborne has not resigned, and 1t
Is said, will not resign until he begins
to draw that succulent salary in London.
Meantime Dick is out in the cold, having
already declined the tender of the Fourth
Assistant Postmaster Generalship. Just
after inauguration, Senator Hanna po-
litely intimated that Col. Osborne
resign and let Dick begin to draw the
$4,000 salary OF the secretaryship.
But Osborne went off TO Boston without
complying. Now Osborne is back, 1t is said
in response TO a delicate hint from the
1t is even said that Col.
Osborne and Major Dick did not agree
during the campaign, and that Osborne
hopes to influence the selection OF another
man as secretary. Mail at national head
quarters has been accommodating for sew
eral days the correspondence department
is in a quandary, as little can be done until
the esecretaryshipis settled. Senator Hanna
is hopeful of getting Osborne out and
Dick in Monday, But, unless the Presi-
dent intervenes, Osborne will continue sec
retary until he is comfortably ensconced
at London.

DUEL ON A TRAIN.
Two Prominent Men Quarrel and
Both Are hSot.

| Both Are hSOt.
Cumberland, Md, March 19.-Two we'll
| known men were badly injured in q des-
| perate fight with pistols on board a rail-
road train, near here last night. Frank
E. Thompson, manager of the BIaekwater
| Boom and Lumber Company, at Davis,
W. Va, is supposed to be fatally hurt.
Carl Degler, son Of a saloonkeeper at
! Davis, w. Va, was convicted recently by
| jury at Parsons, w. Va, Of Grimm al Of
fense,. A petition was drawn up by Lloyd
Hansford, an attorney, at Parsons, asking
Judge Holt to grant Degler q new trial.
The court decided that the petition was in
| the nature of an intimidation.
Processes were tiren issued against the
sixty five persons at Davis, who had
| signedthe petition, andthey appeared be fore
Judge Holt, at Parsons, yesterday. Col.
a. B. Parsons and Lloyd Hansford, at
torneys, were fined $25 each a. j.
Wagner, prosecuting attorney, $40; r.
w. Eastman and Max. Blass, So each, and
the others, who merely signed the petit
| ton, were discharged upon payment of
costs.
On the way home from the trial. Frank
e. Thompson quarreled with Col Robert
Eastman. Words led to blows, and East
ham slapped Thompson in the mouth
Thompson quickly drew pistol, and,
pressing it against EaStham's side, fired
twice before Eastman could knock the
pistol aside or draw his own weapon.
Eastman drew quickly and shot Thompson
three times, at the same time receiving
a third shot himself.
Col. Eastman has two wounds in the
side and one in the face, but tits supposed
he will recover. Thompson is shot through
the leg, arm and stomach. His wounds
are supposed to be fatal. Thompson is
a son Of A. Thompson, a well-know wn
lumberman OF Philadelphia. Col. East
ham was in the Confederate army and
was spy Of prominence. He refused to
surrender, was outla wed in Virginia and
came to the Blackwater region, where
he has become famous as hunter and has
acquired considerable property.
A special train was sent from here late
last night conveying DR.. b. Curtis Miller,
of the Western Maryland Hospital, to at
tend Mr.. Thompson at Parsons, W. Va.
Col. Eastman was taken to his home at
Davis, W. Va.

The World of Business

There was in Wall street yesterday after
noon what to one or two shrewd traders
looks like reaction. These traders will
sell the market this morning and will ex-
pect to see it go with them. There has
been considerable selling of long stock
during the last two days Yesterday all
day long the market had tired look
In the closing hours there was consider
able drop in several directions. After
the several days of advancing prices, all
this has much the appearance of fore
running a decided reaction,
The great break of the day was on
Jersey Central. There seemed to be no
particular reason why the stock should
be picked out by the bears, but it went
down terribly, and led the market in its
afternoon declines. Jersey was up as
high as 94 1-S in the morning and In
the last hour went down to 90 and some
thing, break Of a points. Moore &
Schey were the people w no did the larger
part of the selling Of Jersey Central. They
sold it short, and probably expect to get
out of it at even a less figure than the
lowest today.
There Is q New York rumoT that the
Sugar Company does not wish the stock to
go any higher during the tariff agitation,
and that they would not object to point
or two more decline. This is reasonable
enough idea, and as, unlike great many
of the New York rumors, it has reason on
its side, there may be some foundation.
However, i was told by my Sugar sharp
yesterday that in his opinion no one ought
to allow Sugarto get down to liz without
purchasing. There were not any great
fluctuations in the stock vests terday 1t

Bradstreets will say: Another week of

new tariff bill, and the disappointment

goods. silks, cutlery and other lines at

jobbing lines is over, collections are
slow and at many points there's no change
in demand or supply, except a request
for cheaper grades of goods. Threatened

BROWN-In loving remembrance Of my
dearest mother, JUDA BROWN.
Loved in life, remembered in death.
How could we bear this heavy cross;
The loneliness, the cruel pain,
Did we not know our eathly loss
Was her eternal gain.
No thorny paths for her to tread
Throughout the coming changeful years.;
No bitterness of life to death
From this vale of tears;
For ere the touch of sin could blight
Or sorrows shadow cloud her way,
God kindly took her from earth's night
To heavens eternal day.
