NEWS AMD iNCiDENT. Our Comf :la:ioo oi tnt important Happenings ot the Week. A DEABWOOD HORBOK. The men who escaped during the burning of the boarding-shed gave the following story: They were awakened oy the blowing of a locomotive whistle, about 1 o'clock on Sunday morning; the room was filled with smoke from below, and the fire was leaping ui around the kitchen stovepipe. The men were dazed, but four of them went down the ladder and escaped with severe injuries; three escaped unhurt through a small sliding wiudow leading to the roof of an adjoining building. Eighteen persons were in the house, eleven of whom perished. Two bodies were burued to ashes. The men had saved up their earnings, and, it it is suppoaed endeavored to get their money and valuables out of trunks, and thus lost the opportuniny of escape. The building, constructed of pitch pine was totally consumed in thirty minutes after the discovery of the fire, AN OUTRAGEOUS VERDICT. The trial of Dukes tor the murder of Col. Nutt at Union town, Pa, resulted in a verdict of acquittal, although the circumstances would in no way seem to justify it. The murder occurred about a year ago. Ihikes, a -awyer, had betraye the daughter of Col. Nutt. The latter demanded that Ihikes should marry his daughter, and in case of refusal, threatened him with death. Dukes appointed a meeting of the two, and when Nutt arrived in Duke's room, the latter deliberately shot him dead, and gave himself up. The judge of the court, as will all who read the incident, justly denounces the verdict. The people of the town became greatly excited upon hearing of the finding, and outraged justice may yet be fully atoned. DYNAMITING LONDON An attempt was made Thursday to blow up the government offices at London. The explosion shook the House of Commons, but it-appears no serious damage was done. The event took place at the Times office. It is the seconcf recent attempt. The authorities claim it is the work of Fenians. The explosion is the general topic in London, and everywhere in England. The damage will probably be 20,000, Westminister, the Abbey, the Houses of Parliament, the great structures of the public offices, the clubs and dwelling houses were all violently shaken. The London Times says that is the purpose of the Irish extremists, 'ifc is certain tne day of remedial legislation is over." The Berlin papers are utterly dismayed. The explosion causes a vioient revolution of feeling toward Ireland. It is attributed to the "Invincibles." A reward of 5,000 has been offered for the criminals. WAR DECLARED. The explosion in London. Thursday, is commented upon as follows, as reported 10m New York: CDonovan Bo3sa was asked whether the explosion at London was caused by dynamite or was an accidental explosion of gas. He answered: "We could not follow. out our svstem unless w t00a dynamite, and that was what caused the explosion. There was no accident about it" "Do yon think is was intended to destroy tne building only, or to kill those

within it?"

"It was intended to do all the damage

possible, and it was dom to show England that she had better give Ireland her own parliament, England is at war with

Ireland, and Ireland siiouid be at war

with England."

JKoaa &ud he had received offers of money, and cm. obtain, ail that he needs, in answer to a question as to

what would next be done, he showed i letter advising him to publish in his pa

per a declaration of war on England, signed by representative irishmen. When

that was done, it could not be claimed that their action was dishonorable. As for weapons all available ones should be

used. This he said was his answer. eg ax's views.

At the close of a lect ure on S. Patrick,

by Father Ialley, of Ohio, at Waterbury

Conn.., Father Walsh introduced Patrick

Egan, as "the little man who made the

British lion tremble," Egan said Ireland

to-day is in the hands of her most brutal and coercive foe, who is hanging innocent men, bayoneting women and shooting

down children. England, he said, with her spies, informers and packed juries, is trying to crush out the national life of

Ireland, but there is a new Ireland on

tins siae oi rne Atlantic wnicn sue can

not tramrle out, and which will hold her

to a reckoning for the crimes committed

A home. He believed Ireland's long night

of slavery was approaching its awn, and

that the measures for her national inde

pendence would be successful. ANOTHEB OUTRAGE,

Two men, disguised in female apparel,

assaulted Lady Florence Dixie in Wind

sor Park, England, Monday. They used

daggers, and her life was saved by the

presence of a broad steel rib in her corset,

which turned aside their murderous

points. Since she charged the manager of the Land League with the misappropriation of $152,000, she has received several threatening letters.

A London cable seys: Following so

closely on the heels of the explosion, this singular occurrence has naturally intensified the current of anti-Irish feeling for it need hardly be said that the rules of procedure are reversed, and the Irish party adjudged gufcy in both instances until it shall demonstrate its innocence. I conversed for a few minutes to-day on the subject with leading Irish members of Parliament, who said: "Unless the real offenders are caught, I suppose it will be impossible to convince the majority of the Englishmen that every Land-leaguer would not be glad to hear of LadjKDixie's death because she presistently questioned Egan's honesty, and fired off in various magazine newspapers ammunition prepared for her by Richard Pigotfc. Still, the reported outrage is remarkable in many respects. If the men desired to murder Lady Dixie they might easily have done so when she fainted, and if she were unable to make an outcry the dog ought to have done eo. There are many mysterious features in the affair, and it is quite possible that the attack was planned by those who are trying to bring ih league into disfavor. For my part, I cannot believe that any Irishman deserv

ing tne mim would try to m;iure Lady

Dixie. Her mother is an out and out Nationalist, and that fact alone, apart from the recard due to the general sex, would guard the daughter of the dowager Marchioness of Queensberry from insult of violence."

An attempt was made to burn South Hall, one of the Wabash College buildings, at Crawfordsville, about midnight Monday night. The flames were discovered and put out before damage to exceed 100 had been done. The fire was the work of an incendiary, as the stairs were found saturated with coal oil.

ry students are suspected. John Lant died at Carlisle, in Sullivan county, on Friday, and that night two men neighbors, kept vigil over the corpse.

ing which time nearly $200,000 has been taken in and $50,000 paid out. The vic

tims to the swindle number about five thousand, as the average amount received from each is about $40. The investiga

tion thu3 far shows the assets to consist of some office furniture and a cord or

more of circulars. The liabilities can not

be ascertained at present, but it is not

likely the concern will pay anything. Mr. Collier, the manager, has been absent in

Chicago since the receiver was appointed

where he is interested in a similar instil

tntion, known as the Union UeneGt Asso ciation. The Indiana concern lias been doing business in Indiana, Ohio, Kentucky, Tenucsse.1, Mississippi, Missouri and Alabama.

Mr. Beecher said he had not dared to fcrnBt himself to the delivery of an ext cm poraneous address, and ho hoped tho audience won Id bear with him while he read from manuscript, "In fact, you've got to," ho said. "Human life may be of more importance than the life of an animal," ho continued, "and yet the veterinary surgeon may rank as high as he who administers to humanity. A man need not necessarily be an ass because he cares for horses. If ever there wt.s a faithful animal it was the horse. In the opalescent vision of St. John in the Apocalypse the horse was deemed worthy of ei n g r.e u ii it a viih il e gods. Loving liberty, how readily he submits to 1 end age. He is ten times stronger than man and yet how submissive to man's will! If a horse but knew his lights and his power, no man could abuse or maltreat him. His self-abnegation deserves a bettor fate. 'He is the servant of all and the slave of all and abused of all,' He begins life with one year as a colt, and when at last he has ceased to be useful to the peddler he has 'the only privilege of his life the privilege of dying In war the

Authorities in Prononnciation. St. ?ouis Republican. A writer who has evidently given careful study to the still disputed question of the proper way to pronounce Arkansas, argues that in anglicizing the Indian word we must- give it the manifest English prononnciation indicated by the syllables Arkansasaccenting the second syllable aud enunciating the "s7' in the last. This looks well enough in theory outside the State whose name is the subject of dispute, but it will be admitted that the authority of the people of the State is supreme in a matter which they have a better right to decide than all outsiders. They say ArkausAW and this must ultimately settle the question. All precedents support this view. The people of Connecticut omit the "c" in the second syllable of that word, and call the State Couneticut. The people of Engl mid pronounce Thames, Terns; Derby, Darby;. Cholmondesley, Cmimley; Salisbury, Saulsbury; Beauchamp, Beechum; Gloucester, Gloster. In Bollinger county, Missouri, the p&ople cal.1 :he name of their county Bullinger, which, also, is the prononnciation of the name in North Carolina, where it came from; in Perry county, Missouri, Bois Brule (burnt wood) bottom is being -gradually transformed into Bob Billy's bottom: ir, Osage county, L'Our's (Bear) is becoming Loose Creek.
