imperatively necessary on the part of the dynamite extremists to vindicate thoir right to he respected by causing an explosion or explosions that should attain, or partially attain, the object of their labors— namely: complete independence for Ireland in the uamieetionable and invincible form of dynamite, la order to carry out this resolution three men were deputed to effect serious explosions in the House of Commons and the Tower. One of these conspirators is supposed to be a cousin of Professor Mezzeroflf; another, of Irish birth and nationality, is an ex-officer of the* British army, rather dudish and distingue in ap pearance, and the third belonged ta the body known as James Stephens’s Old Guard. It is an undisputed fact that the notorious John Mornssy of County ChrTow, who was a head-center m the revolutionary movement of 1867 and the preceding years, has visited Paris, and he isibelieved to have taken part in the explosions. The dynamite used on this occasion was manufactured in France and forwarded to England several months ago, in separate cakes, to locations designated, where the pieces were scientifically amalgamated. More, serious work is contemplated shortly. Richard Bracken, erf Philadelphia, is about negotiating the purchase of large quantities of explosives for toe m England When Bracken’s money comes to band the British men-of-war and police barracks in Ireland will be attacked, but private buildings will be avoided, and' the lives of innocent persons spared. English officials, however, will probably suffer. . Your correspondent has the particulars ox a plan made two or three months ago to blow up the Prince of Wales by dynamite during his stay in Paris. The Prince often visits at the house of Me. Standish, one of whose servants is affiliated to the dynamiters. Everything was elaborately arranged for tho explosion, but the Prince made a visit earlier than was expected, and thus providentially escaped. This is now an open secret in Paris.

PUBUC comment. A. Defender of the Outrage* Put to Shaane by a- Priest. London; Jan. 26.—At a meeting of the local branch of the National League at Clonmel, today, Town Councilman Phelan spoke in justification o t Saturday's outrages at London. Approach! ng'his climax be cried out: “So long as England withakia Ireland's just rights, these explosions by dynamite will continue." This declaration raised such a furious storm of dissent * .s silenced, and he retired to his seat. Then the Catholic priest presiding denounced the work of the dynamiters as outrages against Ireland and sins against God, and spoke /with such stirring eloquence that the. council--85-air*apologizcd for his utterances and withdrew Ms remarks, requesting the assemblage to forget juey had ever been delivered. Stepniak and Michael Davitt. London, Jan. 26.—Stepniak, tRe Russian Nihilist, author and contributor to the London Times, in an interview relative to the explosions, declared that coercion would give the outrages fresh impetus, and it was necessary to proceed quietly, when the outrages would soon cease in ““Rutland, as they already had in Ireland. A Russian Nihilist, he said, was different from s/a American or Irish dynamiter. In the case of tho former the county was with him, while with the latter, the country listed him. Michael Davitt was interviewed to-day In regard to the London outrages. He said the dynamite operators had few sympathisers in London, and less in America than was generally supposed. He said he believed Patrick Ford and O'Donovan Rossa were not actuated by mercenary or blood-thirsty motives. The dynamiters consist of • two classes —those who are convinced' it is impossible to persuade English statesmen of the reality of Irish grievances by legal methods; and those who have suffered for the Irish cause and their relatives and friends. Mr. Davitt said experience had shown that agitations were without results, while movements bordering on revolt produced different results. Ho alleged that it was impossible for Rossa to forget the degrading insults he received while in English prisons. Mr. Davitt made tho charge that tho secret police were fostering outraged through their agents, such as McDermott. They would find their occupation gone unless the* scare was kept alive. He said he believed the present outrages were the precursors of more desperate and reckless ones in the near fhturo. In conclusion Mr. Davitt. said: “En'gland can deal a most effective blow to the dynamiters by showing them tffiit tha mainsprings of Irish discontent—Dublin Castle and landlordism—shall not continue to be “England’s only expression of'good will towards Ireland."

What the Newspapers Say. London* Jan. 26.—The. Pall. Mall Gazette publishes an article in which it says it marvels at' the fright and flurry exhibited' by the morning papers, when the whole damage caused by all the dynamite outrages amounts to less than £IO,OOO, and no lose of life has been occasioned by them. The Gazette says: ‘Tt is both undignified and foolish to scream about America. If o‘Don-ovan Rossa was hanged' to-morrow, and the collection of money for the skirmishing fund madb a criminal offense, it would- fail to stop-, the outrages.” It instances Russia and Germany, where, notwithstanding the silewcing of speech -and "press, out* rages cannot: be stopped. “We must keep cool heads,” it says, “strengthen our police force, sharpen the wits of the detectives, and. punish heavily the assassins and those who aid them. We must discriminate between social and politicals reforms by legal agitation.” The Standard this morning baa two editorials upon the dynamite outrages. In a leading, article the paper saj-s: “Eugland asks no favors from the United States government. We only ask our brothers on the other side of the Atlantic to do what, they feel is right We wish for no measure of repression or punishment that would be incompatible with social freedom.” The other editorial appeals to the people of Great Britain not to wreak indiscriminate vengeance on the Irish, who must, as a race, be guiltless of this cowardly crime. The Daily Telegraph, commenting upon the passage of Senator Bayard's resolution, says it is a poor compliment to the Americans to praise them for doing what was so obviously their duty regarding the recent explosions. The writer goes on to say that the United States must rise to a full realization of their responsibility in this matter, and must grapple with such men as O'Donovan Rossa. and Patrick Ford, who are the fountain heads of mischief. The St. James Gazette speaks in a similar strain. It advises a modified suspension of the habeas corpus act. The Irish newspapers denounce the outrage in vigorous terms. The Freeman’s Journal says: “Only one feeling prevails throughout Ireland regarding the fiendish crimes, and that is of deep, earnest sympathy with those injured, no less than an earnest wish that the diabolical authors be brought to justice. Any man with a touch of human feeling must regret the escape of the miscreants.” The Journal des Debats, of Paris, says: * 'Honest men of all nations must condemn the cowardly manner in which these dynamiters attempt their political assassinations, but this feeling of honest indignation is strongest in France.”

SKILLFUL MLMA&B-FLAIIXG. Schaefer Defeats Slesson in a Well-Contested and. Very Brilliant Gama Chicago, Jan. 26.— Jacob Schaefer and George F. SLosson played a match game’ of billiards, at Central Music Hall, to-night, for SSOO a side, twelve-inch balk-line. 800' points up. The play began at B:3a. Slosson won the lead* and chose the white ball. The game opened rather slowly, with small runs, though there were occasional bits of brilliant execution, The two strings remained pretty closely together for the first hundred, which Slosson turned first in his of! the. thirteenth inning,, which he concluded with 101 to his credit. Schaefer then took tho table with ninety buttons to his credit, and by brilliant open play also passed the hundred point with a run of thirty, the largest thus tar in tho game. In his fifteenth inning, Slosson took his first decided lead of the game, with a run. of mingled delicate nursing anad accurate open play* amassing 97 before missing a cushion carom. The game then stood, Slosson, 220; Schaefer, 126. In his twenty-first inning Slosson ran 42, missing a very difficult masse, the game then standing: Slosson, 244; Schaefer, 175, In his twenty-eighth inning Schaefer, mostly by masses and open nursing, counted 53, after having made 30 in his twentysevontli, reducing Slosson’s lead to 34. At a- quarter to 11 o’clock the game stood: Slosson. 376; Schaefer, 342, with the probabilities that the game would not be finished till alter midnight. Later. —Again Schaefer began to play badlv f scoring only small runs and misses, and when Slosson had completed his half of the forty-sixth inning, the string showed him an even 100 ahead, the score being 507 and 407 respectively. In his half, Schaefer once more began to do good work, and, almpst entirely by rail play, counted 60 r leaving him 40 behind. Slosson followed with a neatly-put-in run of 58, chiefly by open play. Schaefer put in 41 in his fiftieth inning, and 43 in his fifty-second assuming the lead for the first time since the ninth inning. The call then was: Schaefer, 597; Slosson, 595. Slosson followed with 22 and Schaefer with 56, which gave him a lead of 36. Slosson made 4, ami Schaefer came again with 38, and was 70 in the lead, but Slosson reversed the positions in the next inning with a earefully-played run of 98. when the gam a stood: Slosson, 719; Schaefer, 691. But Schaefer still had his billiard legs on, and, playing very rapidly. ran the game out with 109 in nis fifty-fifth inning. The last ten or twelve innings furnished one of the most remarkable exhibitions of nerve ever witnessed in a billiard match, the players going at each other repeatedly and the chances of victory see-sawing backward and forward. In that time Slosson put in runs of 58, 28 and 98, with great steadiness, and Schaefer played his last inning with as much coolness as if it were an exhibition. It is worthy of note that both players made w their best runs in their last inning.

The doors of the Island City Savings Bank were not opened this morning, causing great uneasiness and alarm among depositors, who are chiofly poor people Wells was also president of this bank, and a prominent member of the firm of Wolston, Wells & Vidor, eotton factors. About noon it became known that both concerns were insolvent The Island City Savings Bank was organized about twelve years ago* It had a paid-up capital' of sll4', 005, and deposits amounting to about $475,000. A meeting of the board of directors was held to-night, as a result of which tho*following card, signed by all the members of the board, was given for publication: “In the limited time we have had to examine into the affairs of the Island City Savings Bank, we find that the assets will realize about 70 cents on the dollar, and the stockholders will certainly lose their capital. If the stockholders will surrender their stock, we, together with others, will agree to raise SIOO,OOO of new capital, and will assume their liability to the present depositors, if accepted by all, on the basis of 70 cents, payable in three, six, nine and twelve months.” It is not believed this proposition from the directors will be accepted by all the stockholders. Attachments aggregating $14,000 were placed on the bank this evening, and the sheriff is now in possession. The depositors number over two thousand, principally among the very poorest class, 4 per cent, interest attracting small suras from the colored people. The firm of Wolston, Wells & Vidor have overdrawn their account with the bank to the amount of $150,000. J. H. Blake, cotton factor, doing business at Houston and Galveston, is debtor to the bank $57,000. Wolston, Wells & Vidor gave notice of their* suspension this afternoon. Their liabilities are over $300,000; assets, between $30,000 and $50,000. Their liabilities are distributed as follows: Island City Savings Bank, $150,000; to interior of Texas points for cotton about sloo,*000; foreign, $50,000. It is understood the firm will assign to-morrow to M. L. Asker. Other banks and cotton-houses in the city are in no way affected by these failures.

Legate, the Liar. ?t. Louis Globe-Democrat. Mr. James P. Legate is a hold but inartistic liar. He says that in his letters to Clarkson and Kerens, referring to money matters; when he uses the word “him” he does not refer to St. John, but to a third person, whose name he will under no circumstances disclose It is hardly worth while to waste space and time on a man like Legate; but on the particular point to which we allude —as to whether St. John was really meant in the money dickers—we will quote from the original of Mr. Legate’s own letter. Writing to Mr. Kerens, Legate says: I have got'St. John out of the State, and made Promises to him that iu some way I wunt redeemed. ou may not care a d—n, but I have to live with him and you don't’. Suicide of Abram Spaun. Detroit, Mich., Jan. 2G. —Abram Spann, assistant city treasurer, committed suicide early this morning, by hanging. He was found by an officer at the Hops & Malt Bitters Companies store, this morning, and was dead when discovered. Ho had been formerly in the employ of tlio company. To-morrow he was to have been married. Despondency, on account of disese, is said to have been the cause of the act, ■BMMnlaMiaaalaMMHM The Sherwood Concert. A large and cultured audience was present last evening to listen to Wm. H. Sherwood, the renewed pianist. Promptly at 8 o'clock the artist appeared upon the stage, attired in full dress suit, and seated himself before the grand Miller piano, which had been sent from Boston for this special occasion. Mr. Sherwood is about thirtyfive years of age, medium height, with an abundance of light hair, and heavy heard of the same color. He is a pure type of a highly sensitive and refined organization. His voice, during the explanation of' his various numbers, was scarcely audible in remote parts of the hall, showing an effeminacy and reserve that clearly indicated a negative but fully poetic nature. Iu his remarks he paid a high tribute to Chopin, stating that composer owed much of his greatness to a close study of Bach’s productions, and that, ' probably, no other of the world’s great artists had so perfectly expre&sed every emotion of the human heart—its love, sorrow, joy and anger as had Chopin. By request from several musicians present, Mr. Sherwood interpolated one. of Bach’s most difficult fugues. The entire programme was played ‘from memory in a marvelously accurate and 'finished manner. There are few really great American pianists, and this gentleman may well claim a front rank among that number. His pre-eminence, in comparison with others, lies in his subtle conception and the delicate tracery of a vivid imagination. His technique possesses symmetry, precision and intelligence. His singing tone or cantabile style is remarkably effective. The “Grande Polonaise,” A flat, op. 53, by Chopin, was the most spirited of last night’s programme. It was played with an intensity and warmth of sentiment which few could surpass. In the tender phrasing of Schumann’s Rornanza, the artist displayed a delicacy of shading that fell with sweetness on the ear of every listener. Mr. Sherwood’s appearance here will long he remembered by those who have heard him, many placing his efforts equal to thoso of Rubenstein. An informal reception will be given Mr. Sherwood at3 o’clock this afternoon, at the Matinee Musicale rooms, in Plymouth Church. Ho closes his engagement to-night
