The pro­ cession then moved toward the scaffold. O' bon- nell walked with great firnmess and without the assistance of the wardens, who stood close around him. While standing on the drop he looked around unconcernedly. Binns per­ formed the remainder of his duty quickly. He allowed a drop of eight feet. The noose was placed exactly as Marwood used to place it. Binns pulled tbe lever of the trap precisely as the neighboring church clocks were striking 8. The crowd in front of Newgate Increased rapidly, and shortly before 8 o'clock num­ bered 20,000 persons. The streets were closely packed, but the throng observed a quiet and orderly demeanor. The Irish element was not conspicuous. As the moment for tbe execution approached, the crowd swayed up against the prison wall, and the roadway, jihich had before been kept clear, became blocked. The police, however, moved rapidly through the multitude and easily cleared the way. When the black flag was hoisted, announcing: the tragedy at an end, there was no demonstration, although suppressed excitement marked many faces. O'Donncll's brother remained to the last, bit­ terly weeping, the center of a sympathizing group. Clouds began to break as the hour of 8 ap- proaohed, and when the black t.'a? was run up It was distinctly displayed against the ris­ ing sun. The people immediately dispersed after the hoisting of the flag. O'Donnell was firm as a rock to the last. Every one was much impressed with bis nerve. To his brother, who was with him shortl/ before his execu­ tion, he said: "I killed James Carey, the in­ former. I am not sorry for killing him, and I never have been. Not only that, but all London's weaith would not buy me or induoe me to give any one away." At parting O'Donnel shook bis brother's hand, exolalm- ing: "Good-by, old fellow; keep up your spirits, and don't be downcast because of me." The steam ship Assyrian Monarch, which arrived at Gravesend the day before the exe­ cution, was seized by the London police, as it was Buspected that a number of men were on board who would, if permitted, make au effort to rescue O'Don­ nell or seek revenge by assailing some of the officials who prosecuted him. The detectives were about to search the passengers, but a number of Americans on board made such sturdy resistance that they desisted. All ihe passengers were held, however, until after O'Donnell's execution. Efforts for a Reprieve. On the 12th of December Secretary Frellng1- huysen telegraphed Minister Lowell stating that the House of Representatives had brought the case of O'Donnell to the Presi­ dent's notice in the hope that the latter might secure a reasonable delay of tbe exe­ cution of the sentence, and ascertain wheth­ er the prlsoflv Mr as an American citi­ zen, and whether there was < er­ ror in the trial. On the 10th Minister Lowell telegraphed to Secretary Frellnghuysen that he had received the dis­ patch and communicated its substance to Lord Granville, who acknowledged the re­ ceipt, and stated it would be referred to tbe proper authorities. On the 15th Lowell re­ ceived Lord Granville's reply, in which the latter, after referring to Lowell's communi­ cation, stated that, counsel for O'Donnell hav­ ing submitted representations, he thought It advisable, on the prisoner's behalf, that these representations and all other circumstances of the case had been carefully examined and considered in the manner usual In the case of capital convictions, and her Majesty's Gov­ ernment found no grounds upon which he justified advising tbe Crown to interfere with the sentence of the law or ita execution. Interview with Gen. Pry or. Gen. Roger A. Pryor, who was sent to Bug* land to assist in the defense of O'Donnell, was interviewed on his return to New York. He did not see O'Donnell after his conviction, but wcelved a message from him, in which the condemned man expressed gratitude to the Irish-Americans for what they bad done for him. "How did O'Donnell bear himself during the trial?" Gen. Prior was asked. ' Like a hero. He was intrepid, decorous and dignified. He was perfectly social throughout. Nobody ten feet away heard the Clerk ask why sentence should not be pronounced. O'Donnell certainly did not. I did not hear him, nor did Mr. Sullivan. If Mr. Lowell bad gone to Mr.Gladstone a respite could have been gotten instantly. O'Donnell did not ask for a respite. He craved no favor of the British Crown." .Indignant Finerty. ,Hon. John P. Finerty, the fiery, untamed Irishman, who represents the Bridgeport district of Chicago in Congress, declared in an interview at Washington that the hanging of O'Donnell was an insult to the American people; that England had often tweaked our National nose, but that we never took olfense, and that the stars and stripes, as protect­ ive of adopted citizens, was a "flaunt­ ing lie," and was looked upon as a sort of handkerchief by European nations. As a nation of shop-keepers, he said, wa dare not declare war, as that would hurt commer­ cial interests, and commercial interests must be maintained, even at the cost of the Na­ tion's honor. He desired an efficient navy, and demanded American representation In London--not by that "Duke of I)t)des and Scotchman," James Russell llowell. Victor Hugo's Fha for O'PwiraeU. Victor Hugo wrote to Queen Victoria ask­ ing' for the pardon of O'Donnell. In his let­ ter he says that the Queen of England, who had shown more than once her greatness of heart, would grant O'Donnell his life and accept the unanimous thanks of the whole ci>;iliged world. v v rnfort«n«ta Lowell. He. James Russell Lowell, tbe American Minister to London, has Incurred the dis­ pleasure of the employes of the Metropolitan Underground railway because he refused to take as gospel truth their assertion that the dynamite explosion, by which a few of them were hurt some time ago, was the work of American Fenians. Mr. Lowell went so far as to rcfueo to forward the memorial of tbe employes In regard to the matter to the American Govermnont, on tbe ground that there was not a particle of evidence to bear out the assertions contained in it Implicating American citizens. The employes have not been at all pleased at Mr. Lowell's refusal to see things as they do, and. In a long-winded remonstrance, or letter, argue to their own satisfaction at least that he should be thor­ oughly convinced that none but American Fenians ceuld be guilty of a dynamite ex­ plosion. Tbe employee threaten reprisals unless Mr. Lowell has more confidence In their statements and unless the AmeHcan Government puts a stop to the manufacture of infernal machines by a Philadelphia firm. Mr. Lowell is rather unfortunate. He falls to please the Fenians, and he certainly has not pleased the Britishers, because he re­ fuses to believe tbat there are not more dy­ namiters in London than Socialist Wolff; who is not an American or a Fenian. A 1 idrerelMQQ TWEHTY LIVES LOST. of AM Stabled Sdhooner Mary ABB Hnlbtrt on Lake Soperior. ; . ? '«& « B«rd H Boat Carried to Ihe Bottom A recent dispatch from Port Arthur says the schooner Mary Ann Hulbert, which was teing towed to Mlchlpicoton by the steamer Kincardine, foundered off St. Ignace Island in Lake Superior. The Hulbert carried a crew of five, in addition to fifteen laborers, all of whom went down with the vessel. The Kincardine reports that a terrific storm came on them very suddenly. The steamer's officers held on to the vessel as long as they possibly could, but finally had to cut her loose to cave themselves, the vessel being full of water and in a sinking condi­ tion. A few moments after they parted the Hulbert was seen to give a terrible lurch and go down with all on board. Those on the steamer were unable to render any assistance or attempt a rescue on account of the hurri­ cane and heavy sea running at the time. The Chicairo Tunes says of the disaster: The loss of the schooner Mary Ann Hulbert near St. lg- naoe island. Lake Superior, is now a con­ firmed fact. The Hulbert was commanded and owned by Capt. Martin O'Ma'.ley, of Chicago, who had sailed her for many years. Capt. O'Malley was well known to vessel men here, and in fact all around the lakes, as ho has been sailing upward of twenty-live years. For several seasons past he has engaged almost exclusively in the Lake Superior trade, sailing between Duluth, Bayfield and Can­ adian ports, carrying lumber, supplies and grain. Capt. O'Malley was about 45 years of age and was unmarried. He leaves a mother, two sisters and three brothers, one of whom yesterday received a dispatch from Port Arthur confirming the sad intelligence of his brother's loss. The Hulbert left Bayfield for Port Arthur last Thursday, in tow of the Canadian steamer Kincardine. She was loaded with camp supplies, and had on board, bet-ides her regular crow of five men, fifteen laborers who were bound to Canadian railway camps. The Kincardine and her tow experienced rouRh weather, but held together until off St. Ignace island, when the officers of the steamer were absolutely compelled to let go the Hulbert. That old schooner, left to her own resources, made very poor headway, and before the Kincar­ dine could get out of sight of her she went down, carrying- all hands. The Hulbert was a very old vessel, and had no rating on the Inland Lloyds register. She was under &0 tons burden. .J THE nsr tmm The Ttm Vstto far the xaUaf «f the IMtarflmi OMOT >el BelfftlB* the O'DeuMlPa Con- ANOTHER FRANK A School-Girl Harries Her Chum and Then Her Chum's Father.

The Grievances of Farmers the Snltfect of Legislation by Congress. [Washington Telegram.] The farmers of the country who have had to pay damages for infringement on the j drive-well patents, and all who have ever had a well driven, will be interested in knowing that no less than ten or twelve bills have al­ ready been introduced in Congress to cover their grievances, if they have any, and t? guard them against loss in the future from suits for damage. Representative Morey, of Ohio, is one of tbe many authors of these bills, and he says there is a general determination among the members from Michigan, Indiana, Ohio and Illinois, and some other States whose farmers arc in­ terested largely, to have a bill passed at once that will stop extortions from innoeant pur­ chasers of tbe diamond-points to driven wells. The bill whloh he has introduced provides that if any person buys a patented article in the open market from a regular dealer, for his own use, it shall be sufficient detente, in any suit brought by the patentee, to show tbat it was bought in good faith, and the patentee muet look to tbe dealer for damages for infringement.

[Borne Dlsptach to the Chicago Tribune.] The Irish deputation, introduced by Mgr. IClrby, has had private audience of the Pope. It solicited his approval of a scheme for erect­ ing a church at Cahirelveen In memory of O'Connell, for which subscriptions are being raised privately in America, Ireland, and elsewhere. About £2,000 have already been oollected. Tbe Pope, replying to the address, said he heartly approved of the scheme and blessed the undertaking. 7Y> show the Interest he felt in it he promised to give a foundation-stone for the church, and to commission some high ecclesiastic, prob­ ably Archbishop Crake, to lay it for him Aug. 6. His Holiness expressed profound admira­ tion for O'Oonneli, whom he said he remem­ bered hearing in the House of Commons. "May this church keep tbe memory of Daniel O'Connell ever green," were his parting words to his visitors. Jvuwr GABSO* la teaching the CUlforniar how tooook. ̂ • -Whom the Chicago Daily News] The following extract from a letter written hy one of O'Donnell's counsel will be read with Interest. In connection with the trial there are facts given which have not hereto­ fore been published: At last the truth may be told of the killing of James Carey. It was not to be told as long as a shadow of a chance remained to prevent the sacrifice of a patriot's life for that of the infamous wretch whom be de­ liberately swept off the earth. For Patrick O'Donnell did deliberately kill James Carer, and he deliberately killed blm because he was James Carey. There was no struggle. Carey made no attack on O'Donnell. O'Donnell never set up the plea of self-defense. Had he been permitted to tell the truth the flimsy subterfuge of self-defense would nIVer have detracted from an act he considered merito­ rious in tbe right of God and man. He knew the consequences of the act and would have manfully accepted them. Had Judge Denman permitted him to speak before pronouncing sentencp, as he was bound by the law to do, O'Donnell weuld then have told the whole truth and vindicated him­ self. His savage denunciation of the Britlsjh crown while tbe offioers of the court stilled his words and dragged blm from the dock to his cell, were not the furious whining of a coward, but the frenzy of a b a tied and honest roan, who, having deliberately done what he considered a duty, and lor which he was per­ fectly indifferent to death, had been com­ pelled, against his will, to occupy an ignoble attitude, and n ho burned to escape from mis­ taken advisers. I oonvey to the DaUy Nevm, on the highest possible authority, the true story of the kill­ ing of Carey and the events which have up the train of its consequences. O'Donnell did not know Carey on the voy­ age from England to the Cape. He was not a member of any soeieoy. He was merely a rolling stone. He had wandered restlessly over many parte of the American States, in­ capable of peaceful residence. He had moved about in Ireland, and spent some time in England. With no definite aim he was going to Australia. Nervous and restless, almost to the verge of Insanity, indifferentto natural ties, and reckless of his actions, he took with him for companion an unfortunate who was neither maid nor wife, a fact suffi lent to show that he had not gone on a commission of vengeance whose fulfillment would fill the world with his name and turn the fiercest glare of notoriety on his character and habits. He had an unascertained consti­ tutional disease which at times de­ prived him of some mental faculties and all but paralyzed his will. The circula­ tion of his blood was so uneven in his left Bide that the left arm was f.equently palsied, and he had learned the use of an electric battery which, when found in his possession alter the tragedy, was promptly thrown over­ board as an infernal machine. So unstrung was his nervous system that it was absolutely necessary for him to abstain from alcoholic liquors, which he had not tasted for two years. He was a Donnegal peasant, tall and strapping, but feeble nervously, rude, and unable to read or write. But he had learned the truth that every peasant in Ireland knows --the truth of the ruin of his native land and the degradation of its people by England. He knew that tbe latest instru­ ment of that ruin and degradation was the monster James Carey. He hud no sus­ picion that the man with whom he had played cards and drank an occasional glass of beer was this monster. But the news was ahead of the Bhip, and-a local paper at the tape contained an excited article denouncing the government for polluting Australia with the wretch. O'Donnell heard this article - read and was shown a wood-cut of Carey, whom he at once recognized. He instantly resolved to kill Carey, out of sheer instinctive sense of duty as an Irishman. On the Impulse of the resolution he said to the man who had shown him the wood-cut. "I'll kill biml" as was sworn on tbe trial. O'Donnell forgot (he man and incident, and Cubbltt's appearance was a surprise. From the moment he formed his purpose he never wavered in it. But he knew it would not be easy to kill Carey, and he could not afford to make the attempt and fail. Carey was well' armed, vigilant, and suspicious. O'Donnell determined to ship with him to Port Elizabeth, go with to the farm Carey had told him he was going to take, and then, without concealment of purpose or motive, show that there was no spot on which an Irish informer would be safe. O'Donnell be­ came nervous and excited. In a reckless hope of calming hlmtelf he drank, the morn­ ing of the fatal day, a glass of whisky. It robbed him of self-control. He was not intoxicated, but his discretion was gone. Finding himself suddenly alone with Carey and his traveling companion be could not resist the desire to kill him at once. Carey, with lightning quickness, per­ ceived his danger. The two Irishmen glow­ ered at each other. Carey hissed: "Do you know me?" O'Donnell hissed back: "I do. You are Carey, the informer. To hell with you!" The bullet sped with the words, and the deed was done. Carey clutched his own revolver, but it was too late. O'Donnell dis­ charged a second shot and a third to make sure of his work, and Carey rolled to the deck. No human eyes saw the encounter ex­ cept O'Donnell's con p-nlon, who threw her arms around him and tilled the ship with her cries. He had weakly told her that morning his determination to kill Carey, and that be Would be hanged for It When Mrs. Carey reached the scene O'Donnell said to her: "I had to do it," meaning simply that he felt it to be his duty as an Irishman to kill the wretch who bad sworn away Innooent lives and enticed honest men to the gallows. His silence remained thereafter unbroken. fbu'\ » . ft* Ckeates t Ttm1* CtafitaL in tike fieaa , The aeaadal of the day is the appearance of a book called "Memoirs of Sarah Barnum," by Mile. Marie Colombier, who writes what purports to be the memoirs of Sarah Bern­ hardt, the authoress' ex-frlend and directress during her tour lu America. Marie Colom­ bier begins with Sarah Bernhardt in tbe cradle, drags her whole life through the mire, and winds up a tolerable soi-dfeaat prophecy where Sarah is represented dying and having cut open her head and face from striking the bedstead during ai attack of delirium tre­ mens. 4' The first outcome of this abominable book was a duel yesterday morning between Ootave- Mlrabeau, who wrote a scathing oritclsm of the volume, and M. Paul Honne tain, who wrote the preface to the memoirs. M. Bon- netain received two slight wounds. M. Boa- netain's seconds were Prince Karageorgfe- vltoh and the Marquis de Talleyrand. The duel begun in the morning by the men was continued in the afternoon by the women,, and under the most unique circumstances. Mdme. Sarah Bernhardt went in the morn­ ing to see M. Clement, Commissaire aux Del­ egations Judiclares, to find out whether the law did not give her tbe right to seize the book and stop its sale. She was told that she must first take legal proceedings and await the decision of tbe Judges. Sarah, with her blood thoroughly aroused and too impatient to wait for legal technical­ ities to suppress tbe book, took justice into her own hands and sallied fcrth, armed, not with a sword, nor a revolver, nor a mitrallle, but with a plain stout horsewhip. Sarah drove straight to the ' apartments of Marie - Colombier. At the moment of her departure Sarah, boiling over with furv, did not conceal what she meant to do, and ber friends present --namely: Mile. Antoinine,Mme. Jean Ruche- pin, and Kerbernhard.--w ho knew well where a woman's anger begins but not at all where it ends--also jumped Into a carriage and fol­ lowed Sarah. Arrived, at the Rue Thann, Sarah went up tbe staircase and rang the bell. Tbe moment the servant opened the door she darted Into the salon and found hei> self face to face with Marie'Colombier. The two women for an instant eyed each other, then like a hungry tigre3s Sarah sprang at Marie Colombler, voclierut ng murderous epithets, gud lashed ber adversary straight across the face with her horsewhip. Mile. Cylombier shrieked with pain and rage. She was hot alone, for M. Jehan So dan and Mile. Defresnes happened to be visiting ber. M. Jetan Soudan burst into the room to separate the two women. He tried to seize Sarah In his arms to hold her down, but at the same moment M. Jean Riohepin, who had just ar­ rived behind £arah, dashed open the door and clutched M. Soudan by tbe throat. £yah again sprang at Colombier, lushing and cut­ ting her with the whip. M. Maurice Bern­ hardt, M. Kerbernhardt and Mile. Antoinine arrived upon the scene of tbe drama. Mile. Colombier turned and tied, Sarah pursuing. The wild chase continued into one room and out of another, nobody being able to stop tbem, Sarah and her victim jumping over chairs and tables and dashing into a thousand pieces mirrors, etageres. and pictures Sarah all the time whipping Marie. At latt Mile. Colombler managed to escape by the servants' stairway. < Sarah Bernhardt, utterly exhausted but re­ venged, withdrew. In passing through the front door, £arah showed her horsewhip to the ooncierge, Faying; " Marshal Canrobert gave it to me, but 1 give it to Mile. Colom­ bier as a souvenir." An hour later Ha rah Bernhardt played her role at the Theatre Porte Saint Martin in the dress rehearsal for "Nanapaib." ALARM IN LONDON.

The three bills renting to publlo lands ia- troduced by Senator Ingalls are designed to materially simplify the operations of the General Land-Ofl cc and change several im­ portant particulars in the method of acquir­ ing title to public lands. The first provides lor the repeal of the pre­ emption laws, but authorises a second home­ stead entry by persons who, having made one homestead entry, have for any reason failed to perfect th • title and who at tbe same time have never made a tiling under the Pre­ emption act. The second repeals the Timber-Culture law, but permits tbe title to bo perfected in ac­ cordance wl h the provisions of that law upon all claims entered before the passage of the repealing net. The third and la-t proposes to amend the Homestead act by prohibiting ooipmutation thereunder until two years have elapsed from the date of set lemcnt, cne year of which must be of record In the • and office. It also repeals the provision of the law under which the lo'-al land ofT<< ers are autborl ed to re­ ceive relinquishments and immediately throw the claims relin .uished open to entry. In effect it requires all re In tulshments to be forwarded to tbe Commissioner of the Gen­ eral Land Office and approved by him before the land in quest on ia thrown open to entry. '1 ho effect of this series of measures, if they become laws, will be to limit he amount of public land a single indlviual can secure to one claim of 160 acres, which may be secured af­ ter two years' actual residence thereon by paying $1.25 p-?r acre, or a tcr five jeara' residence f> r nothing.
