Irishmen Drive Actors from the Stage in New York.
 New York, March 2S.-Two hundred Irishmen, whose feelings had been out ragged by the performance of the tra- vesty, ''McFadden's Row of Flats,'' at the New Star theater, rose in their seats in. the theater at signal last night and pelted the performers with bad eggs, decayed vegetables and fruit. The audience of over 1000 was thrown into an uproar and the actors were driven from the stage.
 The affair was the continuation of a series of attempts to bring the perform ance of plays that caricature the Irish to an end. The disturbing element was scattered through the orchestra. bal cony and galleries of the theater, which is one of the largest i'll New York. Some of the audience took the part of the players by bowling their disdain at the original disturhers. Tn the up- roar police who was trying to pre- serve order, discovered and stamped out burning rag in one of the aisles. Not for years has play been rotten egged in New York city. The assertion was made last night that the Allied Irish societies determined to rout the actors burlesqueing Irish character, and arranged the Star theater disturb ance Five of the disturbers were ar- rested

HE HUNTINGTON ESTATE
Personal Property Said To Be
 Worth About $7O, 100000

Attorney Mumford is Endea voring to
 Have an Inventory Filed-His Client
 Is Suing the Estate for Money Which She, as a Stockholder in a
 Rival Company to the One Hunting
 ton Was in, Lost.
 New York, March 2S.-William w.. Mumford, counsel for G. Emily Rey- holds of Washington, i'll an affidavit &C., company1nG request made to Surro- gate Fitzgerald for all order to compel the executors Of the estate of Collis M. Huntington to tie an inventory of the estate, charges that 1t is plain that the executors do not intend to file an inventory of the estate, which he says ne IS advised consists, among other things, of personal property worth from $60,OOO, ,OOO to $7O,OOO,0OO.
 From the best information now ob- tainable, the estate will show a valua- tion of about $21 100000 at the time of the death of Mir Huntington.
 No explanation Is obtainable at pres ent for the apparent shrinkage of the estate to this low figure. When MT Huntington died those in position to R Huntington to file an inventory of tn eestate, charges that 1t is plain that know about his affairs said his estate was worth between $27 100000 and $3O,O00,0 900. The state comptroller's office has taken about two years to make its appraisal, for taxation pur- poses, and is not yet ready with re- port.
 We are waiting for an inventory of the estate" said MT Mumford, ''so that we can bring an action against the es- tate."
 MT Mumford's affidavit alleges that Collis F. Huntington was director and officer of the Central Pacific rail- riad, along with Leland Stanford, Charles Crocker, Mark Hopkins and others; that the directors named con trolled the Contract and Finance Go and the Pacific and Improvement Go, which companies, through ''collusive and fraudulent contracts" proflted to the extent of $12OOOO,OOO at the ex- pense of the stockholders of the Gen. tral Pacific railroad, one of whom. is c. Emily Reynolds, whom MT Mum ford represents. MT Mumford said that his client, who owns ten shares of stock of Central Pacific railroad. be- gins action against the Huntington es- tate at the instance of other stockhold- CTS. He also said that he did not ex-l pect that the executors would file their inventory until the state, comptroller had made his Appraisal for purposes of taxation.

LII I1S Dleu lO-Ddy.
 The unexpected deatlls of John Pfaft. which occurred at his home, 35 West Clay street, this noon, causes wide spread sorrow to a host of friends, and brings sympathy to his afflicted family. The deceased was in his usual robust health until stricken with paralysis at. noon on Friday, and despite all nledi- cal skill his life ended after an illness of but. twerlty-four hours.

Tn his business as we'll as in his social life he won friends and retained them by his happy. genial disposition, his kindly nature and rare good hearted- ness. He will be sadly missed by alI who had the happiness of counting themselves among his acquaintances- By his death the old Concordia society loses dts last charter member. He wac a member of the D. o. Fl. and of tha Red Men. The funeral services will be held at the house on Tuesday at 2 D. m. A4

WILL CARRY CASE UP.
Man Who Let Child Die Without Med.
 fcal Attendance. x

White Plains, N. Y, March 2S.-- Although the appellate division has de- cided against the conviction of J Lu- ther Pierson, the faith curist of val- halla, who was fined $500 for permit ting his child to die from pneumonia without medical attendance the dis trict attorney says he believes the evi- dence was sufficient to convict, and will carry the case to the court of ap~ peals.
 Pierson is aS believer In the Dowiel faith, and not Christian scientist. Ho believes in the infallibility of prayer to cure all ills, and would not taka medicine in any circumstances. The reason why prayers failed to cure his child, he says, was because there was something lacking in himself and an error in the child which he could not get rid of.

The sledging parties of the British Antarctic ship Discovery, whose exper- fences were reported iby the relief ship Morning on the latter's arrival here Wednesday, engaged in much hazard oNs work. The dash southward of Captain Scott of the Discovery, as a. result of which he reached latitude .S2.17 south, was attended by great hardships and extra strain. The soft ened snow bold quickly on the dogs. and all of them died. The party had only a months provisions when they left the southernmost depot, and there fore it was impossible to continue southward without inviting disaster. The return journey was most trying. The party were on short rations for five days and their progress was seri- ously impeded by fog. Iieutenan+ 'Shackleton burst a blood vessel in ono of his lungs and only his pluck pulled him through.
 The crew of the Discovery are de- scribed as having palpably aged. ow- ing to hard living, but they are we'll and cheerful.
 Another party, under Lieutenant Barnes, was returning from a sledoe journey towards Cape Crozier when 9 blizzard struck them ten miles from nome. Barnes abandoned his tents and sledges and left the dogs to And their own way to the ship Owing 10 the blind snow Barnes and his con,. panaons were unable to see two wards ahead
 While they were descending slona one of the party disappeared and Inc members of the expedition discovered themselves to be on the edge of Iuqe precfpice. Another member of the party fell from sheer weariness and was not missed for some time. He was eventually given up as lost bv +bose V, ms companions who searched for nm. But it later developed that the man slept under a drift for, 3s hours and ne re1oined the ship unharmed.
 Itne members of another sledge expe- o1tion, under Lieutenant Armita pe which went westward. were away 52 days. They attained an altitude of 5000 feet and descended on an ice slide to glacier 5000 feet below. The descent was perilous. The sledges at one part of the descent covered 1900 feet in minute and ten seconds +heir occupants hanging on by straps 10 the backs of the sledges. Lieutenant Ar mitage fell into a crevasse and hung 30 feet below the surface But for the fact that he was harnessed to the others he would have fallen 2Ooo feet

 There were some cases of scuryy during the sledge journey. but they on the return of the suffer- CTS to their ship.
 There were many complaints about the tin1red provisions.
 The p1aces of Lieutenant Shackle- ton and the others who returned here on the Morning were not filled, as Cap-' tain Scott still has fl men in the crew on board the Discovery.
