guard train. the ships we're manned
with friends and ready to weigh
anchor, the town was thronged with
visitors and sufficient force OF
Fenians was at hand. At this juno
ture the English authorities got wind
of the audacious plot; troops were hur-
ried to Chester, and instead of finding
weak garrison distracted by the ex-
citement in the town, the disappointed
plotters found small army entrench-
ed, perfectly armed and alert. Captain
John McCafferty, one of the most noted
OF Irish adventures, a soldier of for
tune in many lands, and well known
in this country as Morgan Raider,
who served with distinction in the
company of Basil Duke. was asso-
ciated with Mr.. Quigley in the plot
against the Chester arsenal. Colonel
Flood was also leader in that move
ment. McCafferty's name is still fresh
in the public mind, because ne recent
ly returned from Manila with startling
reports of the cause of the opening of
hostilities between the Americans and
the natives.
James Quigley finished his eventful
career as an Irish revolutionist in Eng
land sixteen years ago, when ne came
to New Bedford, Mass, with his wife
and children. all of whom are grown.
The widow of James Quigley also
comes of an ancient race of patriots.
Her brother is the famous Red Jack
Egan, of Birr, in Kings county, Ire
land, a man who is known by name
to all Irishmen. as he is personally
known and beloved throughout the
central counties of Ireland.
Mr.. Quigley was an uncle of Tim
othy Peter and John Dolan, who are
prominently identified in business at
Benwood, and also of James L. Dolan,
who is an attache of the Aetna Stand
ard, at Bridgeport. Mr. Quigley came
from rare old fighting stock in Ire
land. His ancestors have been promi-
nently identified with the his
tory of ireland and England, and
also with the history of the
United States. His father was an Off
Ger under Wellington at Waterloo, and
distinguished himself to such an extent
that he was personally complimented
by the Duke.

James Quigley was born in County
Longford, Ireland. in 1899. His par
ents were both Irish. and when he
grew up his Unborn devotion to his
country became his ruling passion.
While still quite young he moved to
Sheffield, England, where he learned
the trade of a silversmith in the factor
les which make that town famous.
His zeal in behalf of Ireland, however,
was only intensified by his surround
ings, and in the eight years from 1857
to 1865. when the Fenian movement
was organizing, all his leisure was de-
voted to furthering the cause of his
people at home. Besides inspiring and
encouraging other Irishmen in Eng
land, he was in active correspondence
with Irish-Americans fighting in the
Civil War in the United States, and he
was partly instrumental in bringing to
the support of the Fenian movement
many of the officers from the Union
and Confederate armies of this country,
who became identified with that Irish
rebellion.
CAREER AS A FENIAN.
His ability as an organizer, his pru-
dence and intense patriotism had al
ready attracted the attention of the
Fenian leaders, and in 1865 he was
chosen to serve as one of the fifteen
members of the Executive Committee
of the Fenian Revolutionists in the
United Kingdom. At that time, 1865,
the Fenian leaders, whose headquar-
tiers were generally in Dublin, were in
close and confidential relations with
the editors and owners of THE Irish
People," the most widely circulated
and influential organ of the force party.
The paper was conducted by Clarke
Ruby, of Trinity College, John
O'Leary, and the famous O'Donovan
Rosa. Pierce Maggie, whose memory
is thoroughly hated by all Irishmen,
occupied a confidential editorial posi-
ton on the paper, and in this way
came into possession of most of the
secrets Of the Fenian Executive Com
mittee. He betrayed the members
names to the British authorities. and
Immediately upon receipt of the infor-
nation the habeas corpus act was re-
pealed. Fifteen Of the Tenian leaders

THE ABDUCTION CASE.
Tho Action Being Taken by the New Yorl
Autboriti~s

The Action Being Taken by the New York
Authorities.
NEW YORK. June 3.--Sheriff Blau-
welt, of Rochland county, came to this
city to-day to consult with the police
authorities here regarding the case of
the Wilson's, or Barrows, who are in
Jail at Nyack charged with the kid
mapping of Marion Clarke.
A despatch to the Associated Press
from Nyack, to-day, says that there is
strong sentiment there against the
county authorities standing upon the
law which gives Rockland county the
power to prosecute the abductors who
were arrested there, although the crime
was committed in New York county.
The sentiment has some basis upon the
subject of the expense which prosecu-
ton entails upon the taxpayers.
Attention is also called to the fact
that there will be no grand jury in
Rockland county before next October,
so that if the prisoners who will be
examined next Monday at Gainesville,
should be held for the next grand jury
they will have to remain in Jail at
Nyack for at least four months. 1t is
generally believed in Nyack that Jen-
ME Wilson will tell all she knows
when her case comes to trial, notwith-
standing the efforts Of her counsel to
prevent it.
Sheriff Blauvelt has served a sub
poena on Capt. MeClusky to attend the
hearing in the case in Rockland coun-
ty next Monday. Subpoenas were
also served for Sergeant Morris and
Detective tHerlihy. Capt. McClusky
said he supposed everybody connected
with the case would be subpoenaed.
When Bella Anderson, alias Carrie
Jones' was brought up for examination
in the justice court at Summit, n j.. to-
day, Detective Sergeant Price, of the New
York police force, asked that she be .deliv-
cred to the New York authorities at once.
The justice refused to give up the prison
ers without a requisition on the governor
of New York. An order was signed COM
m.tting Bella Anderson to prison at Eiz-
abeth to await the arrival of extradition
papers. The prisoner would make no
statement to-day regarding her crime.

Jams Quigley was the hrst man ar
rested, and, through singular device,
the only one of the fifteen who escaped
the many persons summoned to COM
plete his Identification could tell be-.
tween the two counterparts, which was
the man accused of treason. Mr.. Quig-

RESCUE OF KELLY AND DEASY.
In November, 1867, two other Irish
suspects were tried in the Criminal
Court of Manchester, England. Qulg-
ley had returned to Sheffield, and while
ostensibly plying his trade, was re-
organizing the revolutionary move
ment of which he was the executive
head in that part of England. While
the two Irish prisoners, Kelly and
Deasy, were being tried, he conceived
the audacious idea of rescuing them as
they were being borne back to the
prison in the jailer's van. With this
end in view, he assigned thirty daring
young Irishmen to the task of attack
ing the locked and guarded vehicle IN
broad daylight in the STREETS OF Man
chester. Their instructions were to
rescue Kelly and Deasy, and every ar
rangement was perfected for the carry
ing off of the two prisoners. At the
appointed time the van containing the
two Irishmen and several petty prison.
ers came numbering along. An armed
guard, Sergeant Bratt, of the English
constabulary, was inside the locked
van with the prisoners. At given
signal the rescuers pounced upon the
horses, overpowered the driver and
with leveled revolvers ordered Bratt to
open the van. He refused to obey, and
one of the rescue party put the muzzle
of his revolver to the lock of the van
and discharged the weapon. The shot
shattered the lock, the door flew open
and Sergeant Bratt, who had been
peering through the key-hole, was
found inside, dead with bullet hole
through his eye.
. The two prisoners, manacled to-
gether, were quickly carried off by
their friends, but the noise of the pistol
shot attracted the police, and in mo-
ment the constabulary were running
from all directions Four of the thirty
rescuers were captured. Quigley, with
