The Flight of O'Brien and Dillon
to America.
'I‘IIBY I’OIII'IZITBD 'I'IIEIB BAIL.
n. (internment Prosecutors Cleverly
Owtwlttod by the Irish Mott-Their
Escape Is the Sensation of the flour in
lac-dorsal!“ It Was Carried Ont.
Million, Oct. ll.-Ths flight of Messrs.
Dillon and O’Brien is the great sensation
of the hour. The Star indulges in some
mm sarcasm, aimed at Chief Secretary
Balfour, whom it. twits with not being
able even toshsdow prisoners effectually.
The slam ball which the shsentsss have
forfeited will be paid by the league. The
Conservatives declare that this money
comes from America, and is being applied
toanothsr purpose than the one its con-
tributor-n designed. It is now believed
that the illness of Mr. O’Mahoney, one of
the accused, was feigned in ordortose-
euro an adjournment of the case and give
timefor the ripening of the plot for the
escape of Messrs. Dillon and O’Brien.
Balfour Much Ohmlnsd.
Secretary Balfour is deeply aggrieved
over the affair, and has ordered an Inves-
tigation in order to fix the blame for time
«cape upon some of his “shadowers.” It
is taken for granted that there is a traitor
lathe camp, for it. seems impossible for
the fugitives to have gotten away without
collusion on the part of some defective.
The system of espionage was too thor-
ough toadmit of any other explanation.
So closely were the spice instructed to fol-
low the accused that the constaqu do
tailed to keep an eye upon Mr. O’Brien
were known to have watched the window
of the bedroom occupied by himself and
wife, refusing to go away when requested
by Mr. O'llrien. To have escaped such
vigilance may indeed be regarded as mir-
aculous, except on the theory that from
one motive or another the escape was con’
nived at.
A Flavors Blow to the Government.
The light of the two principal objects of
the government's prosecution is regarded
by the leading Nationalists as a severe
blow to Mr. Balfour's plans, which on-
doubtedly aimed at keeping them away
from America at all hazards until after
Parliament convened, Mr. Harrington is
noted as saying that Messrs. Dillon and
'Brien will be worth a great deal more in
Americato the Irish cause now as fugi-
tives from British injustice than they
would have been in. simple commissioners
in behalf of the Irish people.
The Star says that Messrs. Dillon and
O’Brien went to Havrc via Waterford
Wednesday, and sailed from Huvrs for
New York.
l'flcrly Vanished.
The transatlantic steamship companies
know nothing of the route taken by Messrs.
O'Brien and Dillon. They were not booked
from London either by the I'rave, of the
North German Lloyd company, which
sailed from Southampton yesterday, or by
the Normannia, of the Hamburg-American
line, which left Southampton today. Noth-
ing is known at either Queenstown or Mo-
villo of their whereabouts.
A correspondent of The Freeman's Jour-
nal, Mr. O'Brien’a paper, sailed from
Queeustown yesterday on the City of Bar-
ln, and it is thought not unlikely that
Dillcm and O’Brien may also be aboard
that veslsel In the absensc of information
the government is perplexed as to what
action to take in the matter.
Searching for the Fugitives.
The government has mused all outgoing
steamers at the various ports of the king-
dom to be searched by detectives, but no
trace of Dillon and O'Brien has been
found.andtbe authorities are convinced
that the fugitives are already on the ocean.
It is thought mslblc that they are aboard
a yacht waiting to join a steamer outside
of Queenstown.
The Post says that just as the battle was
so! In array the generals of the Home Rule
side fled ignominiously from the field
The Daily Xcvvs’ Tipperary dispatch says
that though shadowed as men were never
shadowed before, Messrs. O'Brien and Dil-
lon have escaped, joined a liner by the aid
of a friendly craft, and are now well on
their way to New York.
The Chronicle says the inference is that
for sonic rerun)“ the government did not
wish to detain Mes-ms. O'Brien and Dillon,
otherwise they could not have escllpsd.
'I'Isoy Did Not App-r.
Dl'sux, Oct. IL—When the case of the
crown against William O’Brien and John
Dillon, who are charged with conspiracy
in inciting tenants not to pay their rents,
was again called in the Inngistratc's court
It Tipperary yesterday Messrs. O'Brien
and Dillon did not put in an appmlrnncc.
Both the defendants are plumbers of the
committee which was appointed at the
conference of Irish Nationalists to visit
America for the purpmo of soliciting lid
for the Xatlonaibst cause. and a rumor that
they hall forfeited their half of £1,” each
in the conspiracy were and sailed from
Quecnstown for the initial States created
great excitement.
Au adjournment was t‘w-n taken soon-
able the crown to calm h-r what steps
should be taken. Warrants have been
issued for the arrest of Messrs. Dillon and
O'Brien.

eonhstl of the Irish National league held a
special meeting last night in Philopstrlsn

selling for this country of Maseru O’Brien

do this. The bishop says that not enough
grain from which they derive their tithes
is raised to enable the cures to live. This
in a new departure, and has caused a great
Inhalation aruoug the farmers in the prov-
lucc. It means a large revenue for the
church. The same order will be issued by

farmers to give their attention to buy

Mr. S. F. Miller. Jr., said to the United

Paralysis, be said, run in the family, and
an aunt on his father's side had died of it.

A Sketch of Illa Career.
Samuel F. Miller was born in Richmond,
Ky, April 5, 1516, and is consequently
now in the 74th year of his age. He was
graduated with honor at the University of
Transylvania. and at first elected to adopt
the profession of medicine. After practis-
ingns a physician a few years, however,
he decided to study law, in which profes-
sion be soon rose to eminence. His sym~
pathy with the northern side of theslnvery
question determined him to leave Ken-
tucky, and in 1&50 he went to Iowa.
In 1802 President Lincoln appointed him
an associate justice of the supreme court,
and for runny years he has been the senior
justice, Justice Field, appointed in 1&3 by
Lincoln. standing the next in order of
seniority.
