EDITOR O’BRIEN IN JAIL. The Decision of the Lower Court in His Case Alfirmed—Exciting Scenes at the Hearing—The Defendant Brutally Treated A Dublin dispatch says the appeal of Mr. William O'Brien, editor of United. Ireland, against the sentence of three months’ imprisonment imposed on him by the Mitchellstown court has been refused and the sentence of the lower court confirmed. After the recorder’s decision had been announced Mr. O’Brien attempted to leave the building to speak to some friends. The inspector of pol.ee refused to let him go. Mr. O’Brien insisted on his right, and hod a struggle with the police, when they stopped him. Mr. Har.ington lent him assistance, but, finding it was useless to resist the police, returned to the solicitor s table and shouted for just ce, declaring that Mr. O’i-.rien could not be legallyarrested, as no warrant had been signed. The recorder sided with Mr. Harrington, and said that Mr. O’Brien should go. Mr. Stokes, the magistrate, thereupon shouted: “Do not let him go. I will be responsible for the consequences.” Mr. Harrington then exclaimed, at the top of his voice: “See hcftv justice is done. The Judge’s authority is defied.” There were cries of “Let him out!’’ and a fierce struggle ensued between the people and the police guarding Mr. O’Br en. Meanwhile the Magistrate had signed a Tarrant for the srrest of Mr. O’Brien, and he was removed to the rear of the court house in custody. During this exciting scene in the courtroom 2),000 people remained in the street-out-side of the court, clamoring for the rescue of Mr. O’Brien and vengeance upon the police. LOOKING DEATH IN THE FACE. The Anarchists Gloomy Enough and Bereft of Hope. A Chicago special of Tuesday says: “There were to be noted more than ever this morning signs in the bearing of the anarchists telling that they felt the end to be drawing near. A gloom weighe 1 upon their spirits. For a few minutes after they were turned loose for their morning’s exercise they moved about like men in deep trouble. They conversed very little. George Francis Train sent telegrams to each of the anarchists containing “words of cheer,” but they proved but poor inducements for hope. The anarchists are without hope, and never before did they let it be known so plainly. They seemed to desire it to be known that they thought the present was but the beginning of the end, and that but twelve days more separate them from eternity. There is a good deal of sympathy for Sam Fielden, one of the condemned men. Strong petitions on his behalf for executive clemency have been gotten up independent of the anarchists, and there is a well-grounded belief that he wih escape the gallows. ”

PRINTERS’ TROVBI.EB. Strike or Chicago Job Printers for a NineHour Bay. “The strike of the book and job printers of this city who are members of the Typographical Union was inaugurated to-day,” Hays a Chicago special of Tuesday. “There is a wide difference of opinion as to the proportions tha strike will assume, according to the information furnished respectively by the employers and the union printers. One of the former, who is prominent in their present organization, stated yesterday that fully 95 per cent of the union job printers would be out of employment this morning, while on the other hand Secretary Rastall, of the Typographical Union, says that not over one-half, or 50 per cent, of the men will go out, and that the strike itself will be over in about a week’s time. ” INDIAN WAR DRUMS BEATING. Troops In the Field—Crows Make Martial Music on the Big Horn. A Ft. Custee (M. T.) special says: “Orders have been issued for the troops to move tomorrow. Five companies of cavalry and one of infantry, under command of Brigadier General Huger, take the field. Troop A, First Cavalry, is now en route here. A courier from the Crow Agency reports a large and very noisy gathering of Indians near the agency, and the war drums can be heard all along the Big Horn River. The Indians are all ordered to be in camp by Friday night, and all out after then will be treated as hostiles.” The Mormons. A coeeespondent at Salt Lake City writes that the leaders of the Mormons have been ho harassed and annoyed of late that they would be quite willing to openly forbid the practice of polygamy if they were not afraid that by so doing they would endanger the entire church structure. A despondent apostle is quoted as saying that the objectionable practice would be discontinued, though the belief in its rightfulness and divine authorization would always be asserted. A South Carolina Tragedy. A baebel of whisky was a disturbing element at a negro camp-iheeting near Brighton, S. C. The colored brethren indulged freely their appetite for Strong drink, and then participated in a general fight with razors, pistols, and pine poles for weapons. One man was killed, six were mortally wounded, and about twenty-five persons were badly bruised. Deadly Explosions. An explosion in the Atlantic Dynamite Works, near McCainsville, N. J., wrecked one of the packing-houses and instantly killed four men. Three others are missing, and are believed to be in the ruins.
