Lord Edward, and as the recital places
one humane and creditable act on rec
ord in the history of Lord Glare, one
of the foulest and blackest monsters
of this gloomy period, it may we'll be
reproduced: "Lady Louisa Conolly,
having her niece, Miss Emily Napier,
with her, went to Lord Camden, and
prayed him loud and earnestly in vain
to let her visit Lord Edward Fitzgerald
in his prison. When she came back
to her carriage she said, with violence
of feeling, the more remarkable from
its contrast with the sedate and tram
quill dignity which belonged to her
character, Il, who never before kneeled
to aught but God, grovelled at that
mans feet in vain.' From the castle
she drove to Lord Clare's house. He
was at dinner. 1t was sort of cabinet
dinner, but he came out Instantly to
her carriage, having his napkin in his
hand. She asked him for an order to
see Lord Edward. He said He could
not give her one. It had been SO set
tled.' But, seeing the strong emotion
excited by the answer, he added alb
ruptly, But I can 60 with you and
let you into the JAIL Then, Jumping
into the carriage, having his napkin
still in his hand, he drove to the Ja1l,
introduced her, and after some time
came out to Miss Napier and said,
Lady Louisa will be here long time;
it is not fitting you should remain here.
I will remain with her. And then,
placing police officer behind the cur
riage to protect 1t, he sent Miss Napier
home, returned to the outer door Of
Lord Edwards prison, and remained
for three or four hours waiting Lady
Louisa's time of departure"
Lady Louisa Connolly, writing to Mr..
Ogilvie. Lord Ddward's stepfather, the
second husband Of the Duchess Of
Leinster, in letter dated the day Of
Lord Edwards death, thus describes a
scene to which Lord Clare referred in
the Irish House of Lords "as one Of
the most painful and melancholy
scenes he had ever experienced"
"At o'clock this morning, our be-
loved Edward was at peace; and, as
the tender and watchful mercy of God
is ever over the afflicted, we have rea-
son to suppose that his dissolution took
place at the moment that It was fttest
1t should do so. On Friday night a
very great lowness came on, that made
those about him consider him much
in danger. On Saturday, he seemed
TO have recovered the attack, but on
that night was again attacked with
spasms, but subsidized again yesterday
morning. But in the course Of the day,
Mrs. Packenham (from whom I had
my constant accounts) thought It best
to send an express to me- came to
town, and got leave to 60. with my
poor. dear Henry, to see him.
'"Thanks to the great God! our visit
was timed 10 the moment that the
wretched situation allowed OF. His
mind had been agitated for two days,
and the feeling was enough gone not
to be overcome BY the sight Of his
brother and me. We had the consola.

oTTUMWA FIRM QUITS.
Equitable Loan Company Goes Out of
Business.


The Equitable Loan company Of this
city has sold it's loans and mortgages
to st, Louis institution and has gone
out Of business. This has been under
the arrangement made by the late at
torney general Milton Remley, with
the company, whose officers consented
to liquidate and go out of business in
this state. The stockholders get about
65 cents on the dollar. Auditor of
State Frank +. Merriam turned this
company over to Attorney General
Remley more than year ago, asking
him to proceed to ask for receiver
and close the business of the concern.
At that time, February s, 1900, the
whole thing passed from the hands of
the auditor to those of the attorney
general, in pursuance of the statutes.
This firm was one of those whose
manner of conducting matters did not
comply with the new law, it was
claimed, and the Equitable took adj
vantage of the law allowing such firms
to close out their business. The stock
holders were paid at SIS cents on the
dollar, as stated above and the assets
were disposed of.
