ESTHER C ROUGH AX’S MI'BDER. an Irish Assassin Was Employed for s Ten Shillings to Kill a Peasant. The latest Dublin papers, March 17, bring information of a remarkable crime at Mullingar. near Dublin. John Walsh, a laborer, was arrested charged with the murder of Esther Croughan. at Irishtown, near Mullingar, on the night of Dec. 31. The accused, after several weeks’ imprisonment, made a , full confession. He had been employed on a farm adjojning land which was tilled and owned by John, Anne and Esther Croughan. A bitter hatred existed between the two sisters, Esther and Anne. The latter, on Dec. 25, was turned out of doors by her mother and sister. She went immediately to Walsh, who had been a suitor for her hand, and said to him that Esther must be put out of the way. Walsh said that he could not do it himself, as he was too well known to Esther and her mother, but he thought he could find someone who would be willing to get rid of the girl for a small sum. He asked Anne how much she would be willing to give. She then gave him ten shillings, and promised to give the more if he got Esther out of the wav quickly. Walsh’s testimony continues as follows: “After that T made appointments with certain persons to do away with Essy. The first I spoke to about it was a man from Irishtown (John Kane), who said it would be well done, and that there would be plenty got to gain money on it He told me that lie would go in the morning and shoot her. On the day of the murder I went into a public house, where he gave a description of how it was done. He said, ‘Wasn’t it well done?’ and I said ‘lt was. : A few nights after this man said lie shot Esther himself, and further added that he went into Mrs. Croughan’s and j asked for a drink of water; he met the old woman first, and then turned round as if to take out his pipe, but instead took out the revolver from his vest pocket, and then fired a.shot over the old woman's head. He said that Essy and the old woman then fled screaming into another room, and he. following, fired a shot at Essy. who was leaning against the door, and it struck her in the breast, when she fell; and when he was making out of the house, Anne appeared from another room, and lie, not knowing that it was she who employed him, fired a shot toward her shoulder. lie further stated that his companion was standing outside in a field lie admitted firing five or six altogether. After committing the • deed he, with his companion, crossed the fields in the direction of the barracks, and hid the revolver in one of the fields. He •complained that my revolver was no good, ' as he had tried it. My revolver was brought back to my house. 1 was speaking, after the murder, to one of the men, who said he took no part in it, that he only went with the others, and that he didn’t go into the house. He said he threw his revolver into a pool near the valley, a short distance from the town. T never got any money for the part I took in the business. I never asked Anne Croughan for any money, because I never saw her from the time of the murder till I went to England. The man that fired the shot told me that he thought Anne had a slight wound on the shoulder; that he did not intend to j wound her, but he wanted to frighten her back from giving any alarm till he would make his escape.” The witness having been cross-examined, a remand for a week was granted. A DANGEROUS ORGANIZATION. Murder and Arson Its Object—Several Members Arrested. Cork, Marck BO. —The three men, Featherstone, O’Herlihy and Carmody, arrested last night, were arraigned this morning upon the charge of being members of a secret society having its headquarters at Cork. The object of the society was, according to the claims made by the authorities, to commit murders when it was believed that such a course would advance the interests of their organization, and to blow up buildings in the principal cities of the British Isles. Upon preliminary examination bail was refused, it being strongly intimated by counsel for prosecution that a number of witnesses were readv to testify in support of the charges. It is in evidence that Featherstone lias been living in Cork since June, 1882, without any apparent business and without visible means of support. DOMINION FINANCES. Excellent Report from the Minister of Finance for the Fiscal Year. Ottawa, March 30.—1n the Commons, the of Finance congratulated the House r>n the excellent position of the finances. The receipts of the consolidated fund last year were $33,383,455; expenditures, $27,007,103; receipts from Dominion lands, $1,744,45G, making a surplus of over $8,000,000. or more than enough to pay the $7,357,052 spent on capital account. The increase in the deposits in the government savings banks is $0,000,000. so the government was able to redeem the debt falling due and leaving a balance or $2,333,840 without troubling the money markets of the world. The estimated revenue for the current year is: From customs, $22,750,000; excise. $5,500,000; postoftioe, $1,000,000; public works (including railways). $3,000,000. interest on investments. $800,000; other resources, $800,000; total, $34,850,000. Expenditures, $28,050,000. _ GENERAL FOREIGN NEWS. Uneasiness Among the French Population of Lorraine. Mf.tz, March 30.— Uneasy feeling prevails in Lorraine amongst that portion of the population who retain and quietly avow their fealty to the French government. This occasionally breaks out into unwonted agitation. Such is the case now. The immediate cause of excitement is an address just issued by Deputy Antoine, in which lie acknowledges the receipt of money collected by the Patriotic League for the benefit of sufferers by the recent inundations along the Kbiue,

and appeals to the French government not to forget those unhappy children of France who,although parted from her temporarily by force of arms, are awaiting a day of revenge. Fortunate Arrest*. Liverpool, March 30.—The police of this city arc in possession of information which indicates that the arrests made iiere and at St. Ileles, yesterday, of men bringing infernal machines from Ireland, were timely, and prevented outrages which had been planned and were to have been executed yesterday evening. The destruction of public buildiugs, involving, possibly, great loss of life, was part of the plot. A chemical analysis of the explosives seized develops tiie fact that they are composed of nitPt> glycerine mixed with sawdust, chlorine, potash and vitriol, a composition of a nature so inflammable and explosive that it is a marvel thay did not explode in transit through the streets. Wales Declines t Interfere. Berlin, March 30.—The National Zeitung states that the King of Denmark recently requested the Prince of TValcs to use his kindly offices with the Prussian government with a view to securing favorable action upon the grievances of which the Danes living in Schleswig complain. The Prince, after reflection, returned answer to the King that lie preferred not to interfere in the matter. American Lard Barred Out of Cuba. Havana, March 30.—Various brands of American lard which arc regularly imported into this island having been denounced as spurious, the government has ordered the collectors at all custom houses on the island to refuse admittance to four brands. Rosedale. Irving, Peacock and Crown, until the Academy of science has reported upon their quality. Threats of the Fenians. London, March 30.—The police are in receipt of a letter, purporting to emanate from Fenian sources, threatening that unless the men charged with the Phoenix Park murders, and now confined in Kilmuinham jail awaiting trial, are at once released, the central telegraph office'in London will be blown up. Notes by Cable. It is stated that the Duke d’Antnnle. fearing arrest and the seizure of his property, has sold Chantilly chateau and gone to Sicily. Three hundred and fifty emigrants left Belmnllet, county Mayo, yesterday, for America. An immense throng of people witnessed their departure. A matrimonial alliance has been arranged between Hugh Northcote, son of Sir Stafford Northcote, and Miss Edith, daughter of exSecretarv Hamilton Fish, of New York. It is officially announced that the Emperor of Germany lias virtually recovered his usual condition of health. Sunday and Monday his symptoms occasioned considerable alarm. At Dublin, three conservatives were elected poor law guardians in place of three Parnellitesin the Rotunda ward. This indicates an important revulsion of feeling, and possesses consideral political significance. Forty Socialists, yesterday, while holding a secret 'meeting within the Spanish lines, near Gibraltar, were surprised by government troops. The entire band was captured and sent under strong guard to Seville. Reports from the Scottish coast say that a terrific and.destructive gale visited that section. Three vessels have gone ashore in the vicinity of Aberdeen. There are no reports of loss of fife, but the damage to property is considerable, - At the Liverpool spring meeting, yesterday, the grand national steeple chase and handicap for 1,000 guineas, was won by Count C. Ninskv’s Zoedonc; P. George's Black Prince second, Major Bunburv’s Mohican third. Tiiere were nine starters. MLLE. FINGER. Capture of a Nihilist Who Is Beautiful and Eloquent. St. Petersburg Letter, March 10. The capture of nil important female Nihilist took place in the person of Mile. Phillopoff. better known under her maiden name of Finger. The Russian police officials were searching forhernbout fiveyears.thoughwithout success. JShe was wanted for having lent a helping hand to the Nihilists who were at different times digging the ground under diverse railroad lines with the object of blowing up the late Emperor’s train with dynamite. She was mixed up in the celebrated robbery of the Kherson treasury vaults by the Nihilists, and is said to have been in St. Petersburg at the time of the assassination of Alexander 11, having a thorough knowledge of the terrible plot. Belonging to the middle. class of Russian provincial society, Mile. Finger was rightly famed for her beauty and her remarkable smartness. She has studied medicine in the University of Zurich, Switzerland, obtaining a diploma of M. D. Then she returned to Russia and married a young assistant cf the procurer of the Court of Khazon. After three months of married life she left her husband, and could not be laid hands on for five years, baffling all the traps set for her by Russian detectives, but being invariably heard of in conjunction with all Nihilistic crimes of late years. The jubilations of the Russian police and their pride at capturing Mile. Phillopoff, are better imagined than described. As soon as the celebrated lady Nihilist was brought to the capital, all the officials of high standing hurried to see lier, and found it hard to resist the combined power of her glib tongue and her beauty. The chief of the secret police force in St. Petersburg, M. Orgewsky, went to see her first with the object of impressing her with the gravity of her situation. but after a few minutes of conversation with her he beat a hasty retreat, remembering, as the gossips of the capital say, that he had been but lately married in the presence of the Imperial couple to the your.g and accomplished Princess Nathalie Shakovskoy, and being suddenly seized with a mortal fear to he unabie to resist the charms of Mlie. Phillopoff. Then Count Tolskoy, the Minister of the Interior, volunteered to see the fair prisoner. He. however, being an old man, was no more afraid of the consort of the best half of his life, and, staying an hour and a half in the cell of Mile. Phillopoff, left it. as he himself subsequently averred, well nigh overpowered by the woman’s arguments, feeling almost himself converted to Nihilism for an hour or so after the interi view was over. The who’e population of the j capital is eager to see Mile. Phillopoff, but I only a few old privileged individuals are ad- | mitted to her presence, since it is seriously feared, were the younger of the officials allowed to visit her, she would possibly succeed in persuading one of them to let her escape from prison in his clothes, the gentleman remaining behind in the guise of a hostage to be disposed of by the government. More Bodies Found in the Braid wood Mine. Chicago, March 30.—The Daily News’s Brnidwood, HI., special says: “Seven more bodies were discovered in the extreme purt of the southwest entry, the highest part of the working. The}’ were found on the timbers above, where they probably crowded, thinking they could escape tlie terrible Hood. They are in an advanced state of decomposition. It is thought the only way they can be handled is to shovel them up in bags. it will he several days before they can be taken out. On account of the entrance being so small it will be impossible to get them through. The searchers whose duty it is to clear the roadways are making slow progress, having only gone about 200 yards. Two other parties commence to-morrow on other roads,”

THE CITY IN BRIEF. Judge Norton yesterday acquitted George Wilson, a colored citizen, of assault and battery with intent to kill. A permit was issued yesterday for the burial of Nannie Donlati, who, although but fourteen years old, died of heart disease. The College Avenue Shooting Club will hold a suootinsr tournament at the head of College avenue mis ufternoon at 3 o’clock. Next Monday the salaries of the city officers, aldermen aud eonnciltm-u for three months will be paid, amouming to $5,593.75. James O. Hill, a driver for Frank Bird, was taken into custody last night by the police, ami was locked up at iho station-house violently insane. The Evansville Table Company, with a capital stock of SIO,OOO, was incorporated under the State laws yesterday. The directors are Ilonry C. Lazwell, Jacob G. Bauer, Charles S. Archer and Edwin B. Price. Sensational Scenes at tiie Zoo. James G. Fletcher, a society actor, created a disturbance of very large proportions in tlio Nagle House, near the Zoo, last night, and nssuulted a man named Woodson, giving huu a rather severe beating. Ho was arrested by Officer Gerber, and was locked up at the police station on a charge of assault and battery. Shortly afterward Janie* Cole became rather boisterous in the Zoo Elevated Gardens, and w hen Officer Gerber endeavored to quiet him, he drew a revolver and fired twice. One of the shots passed through the clothing of a woman, without taking effect, however, aud no one was injured. Cole was arrested, after a lively cnase, by Officers Gerber, Harness and Robertson. While en route to the police station he made a desperate effort to escape by jumping from the patrol wagon, but was recaptured. The affair created considerable excitement, as it was first thought that the woiuau Had been shot. The Beauties of a Monopoly. A man who would hardly be mistaken for a gentleman boarded street-car No. 48 at the postotficeilust night on the last trip out of the Massachusetts and College-avenue line, and regardless of the presence of thr< e lady passengers in the car persistently puffed a vile cigar to the end of the trip, besides making himself generally odious. The driver interposed no objection. The monopoly of a car by ono beastly man, to the discomfort and disgust of a half-dozen other passengers, is something which nothing hut a monopolistic concern could afford to permit. Complaint is made that such conduct on the Massachusettsuvenue line is of nightly occurrence, and there seems to bo no effort by the management to remedy the matter. A Light Sentence. The trial of August Logtie for the murder of Albert Wilburn terminated yesterday by a verdict of guilty of manslaughter, with n punishment of three years’ imprisonment, the jury having been out eighteen hours. This is regarded as a very light verdict, and there is little probability of an attempt to get anew trial.

STRENGTH to vigorously push a business, Strength to study a profession, strength to regulate a household, strength to do a day’s labor without physical pain. All this represents what is wanted, in the often heard expression, “ Oh! I wish I had the strength!” If you are broken down, have not energy, or feel as if life was hardly worth living, you can be relieved and restored to robust health and strength by taking BROWN’S IRON BITTERS, which is a true tonic —a medicine universally recommended for all wasting diseases. 501 N. Fremont St., Baltimore During the war I was injured in the stomach by a piece of a shell, and have suffered from it ever since. About four years ago it brought on paralysis, which kept me in bed six months, and the best doctors in the city said I could not live. I suffered fearfully from indigestion, and for over two years could not cal solid food and for a large portion of the time was u liable to retain ev en liquid nourishment. 1 tried Brown’s Iron Bitters and now after taking two bottles I am able to get up and go around and am rapidly improving. G. Decker. BROWN’S IRON BITTERS is a complete and sure remedy for Indigestion, Dyspepsia, Malaria, Weakness and all diseases requiring a true, reliable, non-alcoholic tofiic. It enriches the blood, gives new life to the muscles and tone to the nerves. |||jj IRON WPIPE §jg\ FITTINGS. \ Selling agents for Nationiw|jggggiL 1,1 1 übe Works Cos.
