O'DONXELL ESCAPES.

PITTSBURGH, Pa., tV.ij. 20.—After having- been out all nig-lit. the jury in the murder case against Hugh O'Donne 11 brought in a verdict of not guilty. When court opened on Saturday the room was again crowded villi sympathizers of the defendant, who were anxious to hear the verdict. Uugta O'Donnell when brought into court was a trifle paler than usual, and he scanned tho faces of the jurors rather anxiously as they filed in. He was ordered to stand up and the verdict was read. As he heard the words: "Xot guilty," a wave of color spread over his face, his eyes became fixed for a hioment and he tottered as though about to fall. Recovering himself O'Donnell stepped from the prisoner's box to his wife and niece, whom he embraced, while tears of thankfulness filled their eyes. The Homesteaders present were all greatly pleased with the verdict, and the attorneys for tho commonwealth correspondingly depressed, for they had expected a manslaughter conviction. This ends the Homestead trials until the March term of court. It is possible that all the other cases will go over until the .lime term of court, and the Homestead men now in jail will be admitted to bail.

O'Donnell was taken back to the jail, pending application for his release on bail, which will be made some day next week. O'Donnell must yet answer to treason, riot and conspiracy. Bail was once refused on the additional charge of murder pending.

History of O'DomteH'fl Case. [O'DonneU'fl case, tho trial of which began last Monday before Judge Stow* i» by far the moat important growing out of the Homestead riot, which took place on July 6 last and in which a number of Pinkerton men were killed. O'Donnell pleaded not fruilty to the charge, and in his defense maintained that instead of Inciting the Homestead men to violence and bloodshed ho had done all he could to prevent it The evidence went to substantiate this and it has boon conceded throughout that 1bo defense was making a very strong case. O'Donnell was at the time of the riot chairman of the advisory board of the amalgamated association, but disappeared from Homestead shortly after the riot occurred an«i Thomas J. Crawford was elected in his place. About a week after O'Donnell was arrested and cast into jail, from which he has only been out twice previous to the trial, once to an alderman's office and another lime into court on an application for bail, which was refused.]

LEGALLY RECOGNIZED.

The Douglass House in Kansas In In dorsed by Judg-elfazen—State Treasurer ICnjoIited from .Paying Money ou Populist Warrants—Republicans Ar» Jubilant

Over the Decision. TOPEKA, Kan., Feb. 30.—Judge Z. T. ITazen of the district court sustained the motion of the republican house for a permanent injunction restraining the state treasurer from paying any warrants issued by authority of the legislative appropriation bill passed by the populist house. This is virtually a recognition.of the constitutionality of the Douglass house, and the members are jubilant over the victory.

The city has relapsed into its usual quietude, and nothing remains to indicate that a bloody conflict between the forces of the governor and the populace was imminent. The last of the militia companies left at an early hour for Clyde, Lawrence and Hoiton, the three local provisional companies were disbanded Friday night and no troops remain iu service. The streets, 'too, are cleared of the hundreds of sheriff's deputies with their blue badges, guns and bludgeons.

TOPEKA, Kan., Feb. 20.—The-cost of mobilizing the military companies can only be estimated. Conservative estimates placo the cost at between $10,000 and 5512.000, including the organization of 2,000 provisional troops, organized at various places throughout the state under the governor's orders. The cost of transportation is placed at S5,000 pay of troops, S3,000 commissary department, $2,000.

I E E S O W I I ROME, Feb. 20.—At daybreak Sunday the pealing of church bells announced the celebration of the pope episcopal jubilee. It is just fifty years since he was created an archbishop. By o'clock thousands of pilgrims, tourists and citizens were crowded before, the doors of St. Peter's. At 5 o'clock two battalions of Infantry in full uniform were drawn up before tho cathedral so as to be ready to help the 200 or move gendarmes in preserving order. The crowd swelled steadily but remained quiet, despite the tremendous pressure caused by some 5,000 ticket-hold-ers in their hopeless struggle to get near the doors. At o'clock the cathedral doors were opened and the foremost of the crowd swept I in. Within half an hour the great I building was packed to the steps, 30.000 pilgrims and 25,000 or 30,000 Catholics from this city gaining admission. Not fewer than 40,000 persons, many of them ticket-holders, were turned away by the military, who cleared the space around the building so as to prevent disorder when the service closed. I

The Pope Was Cheered.

The pope entered the cathedral at 9:45 pale but smiling, and apparently in somewhat better health than usual. I The cathedral bell rang with tumultuous cheering as the pope was borne I toward the altar. His holiness officiated at the special jubilee mass, intoning the opening words of the Te Deum and giving his blessing in a clear, penetrating voice. The mass lasted until 10:45, but apparently did not fatigue the pope, lie remained in the cathedral forty-five minutes after the celebration and then proceeded to his apartments. The crowds dispersed slowly. At noon most of thein had gone and a quarter of an hour later the military withdrew. rilgrimtj .Receive Ulettsinga.

In the afternoon the Irish pilgrims attended service in the church of St. Sylvester and were blessed by Cardinal Logue. The English pil-j griins at St. George's received the blessing from Cardinal Vaughan. The weather was magnificent all 1 day. The air was mild and

dry

and the sun shone uninterruptedly, In the evening St. Peter's and all the other churches, all the convent? and hundreds of private houses were iliuminated. The streets were thronged and the square in front of St Peter's was almost impassible. Without exception, however, the people were perfectly orderly. Not an arrest was reported. Kin? Humbert and Queen Margaret took their usual drive through the city and everywhere were saluted respectfully.

Sermou by Cardinal Gibbons. BALTIMOBK, Md.( Feb. 2U.—Cardiual Gibbons, all the priests attached to the cathedral, Rev.

The Fope's Career.

Leo XIII. was born the son of ao Italian count at Carpioetti on March 55, 1810. Ho becan his academical studies a the Hoinun college, for which he entered the academy of Nolle Ecclesiastics at Home, an institution endowed by the Medlcls, the Orisiuts and other noble families for the special purpose of educating ecclesiastics of rank. Here he attracted the notice of Gregory XVL, who made him a prelate of Lis household and a referee in nuittcrB appertaining to ecclesiastic discipline within the Vatican. Italy was at this time in a disorganized political condition and he was soon after intrusted with a position of delegate at Benevento.

He was later transferred to Perugina, of which place he was made bishop. There be made the acquaintance of the family of the present apostolic delegate in America, Mgr. SatollL On February 19, 1818, Gregory recalled him from Perugia and appointed him titular archbishop of Dumielta. He was then only S3 years old aud wan soon after made papal nuncio at Brussels. There he made the acquaintance of the nioco of King Leopold, the present quoen of England.

Upon leaving Brussels the king axkod the pope to promote Archbishop Jouchim Peeci, and when he returned to Rome he delayed the presentation-of the king's letter to th« pope until his friends at Perugia got out a testimonial requesting the pope to appoint him archbishop of that place. "Accept the see of Perugia," said Gregory, "and you will soou receive a cardinal's hat." Ou January 19, 1843, he was mude eardinal In Petto. He became cardinal *priiiue

January, 186S. In 1876 on the third ballot he was elected pope, Cardinal Franchi throwing his votes to him. The lending features of his papal carecr are the settlement of the "Culturkampf* in Germany, in whioh he had Bismarck to contend with. His attempt to unite the eastern and western churches is still in abeyance. His in struct Ion* Vo the Catholics of France to acknowledge the republic strengthened him there. His labor encyclical was another marked event in his life. His appointment of Archbishop Satolli as "American ablegate in opposition to all the American archbishops, except two, is the'most remarkable act of his eventful career.

IrHh legislature, 'subject to auy instructions given by her majesty in respect to such bills."

ABSOLUTELY PURE

The eouucil of this -proposed legislature is to ccisist of forty-eight councilors. Ireland Is divided' into consitltuencb's among whioh the rig hi to elect councilors is apportioned aooording to the number of voters in each. Councilors will hold office for a term of eight yearn, half the number retiring every fourth year.

The legislative assembly is to consist of mem hers returned by tho voters in the existing parliamentary constituencies. This body, wlu'n it meets, may continue in session five years unless dissolved sooner by the lord lieutenant.

Until parliament shall see fit to make chauge Ireland is to be represented by members in the house of commons and the house of lords, elected by Irish constituencies as arranged for by a schedule submitted with the bill. These 3ri»li peer* and members of the lwu*«i shall not be entitled to deliberate or vote on auy bill rej lAting exclusively to Great Hrituin.

Ai rHiigeuient of liimnecs.

Aid Asked,

An address has been issued by Justin McCarthy, John Dillon, William O'Brien und other Irish members of parliament, to all friends of Ireland in the United Slates, Canada and-Aus-tralia, in which it is slated that they are heartily in favor of the new meas* ure for home rule presented by Mr. Gladstone. They think it a marked improvement on the bill of 1686. But they are assured that the opposition to it is bitter aud unscrupulous, and although the house of commons will pass it without a break in the majorit}*, the house of lords will be appealed to. and probably a new general election ordered. This would tax the resources of the Irish roembars, which have already been severely jtraintdby the recent campion.

se»vlV.re nii appeal for jnatc: ial aid is :id« 'u the friends of Ireland in America ami all over the world. Xo doubt is felt in the issue of the contest, as there is no precedent for a measure indorsed by the commons failing to become the law of Great Britain.
