A PHYSICIAN'S PERIL. Doctor Grossman Nearly Wafted Over the River by the Late Blizzard.

TEE BISH LAUD WAE , James Redpath Excoriates the Irish Landlords , And Presents the True History ot Ireland's Wrongs and the Present Agitation. A Graphic and Eloquent Lec- tureby [ an Eye-Witness. How warm an interest the citizens of Omaha have taken in the onbject of the present land agitation in Ire- aud was maifested by the largo audi ence which , in spite of the weather , g thered last evening in the Academy of Mnsicto listen to Mr. James Ked- p t h , the graphic exponent of Irish suffering and wrongs , and the elo quent advocate of Ireland's rights , nd the Irish l&nd league. Long be fore the hour appointed for the be ginning of the lecture the room waa filled with an enthusiastic audience of our Irieh population , with a large sprinkling of cur representative citi zens. The box on the left of the stage was occupied by resident clergy men , and the remaining boxes were filled with ladies , who proved to be among the most interested and appre ciative listeners. Shortly after 8 o'clock , Mr. Red- path , accompanied by the platform guests , catno upon the stego , and waa greeted by long continued applause. Mayor Chase , in ono of thee neat little speeches for which ha isso noted , introduced thn distinguished-lecturer to the audience , and. welcomed him on behalf of our people to the city. Mr. Redppth began by thanking the audience for their-warm welcome. He said that the m a of English re ports upon Ireland were malignant slanders ; that when he spoke of Eng land he meant , uot the liaj-llsh people ple , or the Scotch peoplp , but that malignant , mercilesshypocritical gov ernment that has blasted and robbed every race with which it came in COD. tactand driven out millions of happy , contented people from their -homes tinder the name of civilization the British government , the ruling curse of England. England u profuse in her explana tions of the causes oflrelsnd's troubles , princi ; al of which were because they were Cath lie , drunken and lawless. Ireland's troubles , said Mr. Redpath , may be comprehended in one word , and that is landlordism. For three hundred years they have been at the mercy of English landlords. Ireland maybe divided Into three secrionr , each of which differs from the other in condition and land laws. The northern part of the country has been for three hundred years under Protestant rule , and was originally settled by colonies sent over from Scotland and En lane under H nry VIH. These colonist ? at first opprested by their landlord * refused to submit , and the English overr.ment for fear of losing her rev enue compelled the landlords to enact a system of lind tenure which is c : > n- trtii.ed iu what is new called the three F'a : Fair Rent , Fixi-y cf Tenure , and Free S le. This privilege extend ed only to that portion of the caur-ty settled by the ProteaUut coloniMi , and this alone hat been the cause ot the grenter prosperity : > f Protest int over Catholic Ireland. Driving ftom the fertile tea coast to the barren in land the ' ' Wild Irish , " as they wer. called , the Ulster men maintained thut aa they stood A god chance of dying at th hinds of tbe infuriated natives they must also have a good chance of living. On this account they main tained their demands for liberal land laws , aud they have repead the benefit. Mr Rsdpa h devoted some time to the roligiuui question iu its relation to Irish politics , aud explained that the only class of Irishmen who were op posed to the land league were the Ulster factory men. He therefore urge upon his hearers to Boycott Irish linens and thns to bring them to their seneet. The lecturer then devoted his attention to the system of tenure , as practised in the eastern and west ern portions of Ireland , and present ed a graphic picture of the sufferings of the peasantry under the famine of lavt summer , as witnessed by himself la his tour through the stricken dts- la. He refuted the libel that land lords were fleeing from Irclaud for fear of thuir lives , and said that only two landlords or agents had left Ire land during the past year. Mr. Red- path himself was the author of Boy cotting , and entered into a detailed history of tha movement which hii worked such mighty results in tie present movements. He explained the great aid which the organization of the land league had been In changing the famine-stricken Irish from a bro ken hearted nation to a nation of free men , and closed by an explanation of the killing of Lord Leltrlm by a young Irish-American for the seduction of his sister.

A MELANCHOCY MYSTERY Underwriters and Undertakers Wrestling With a Knotty Problem , A Coffin Leaves Omaha With a Corpse and Turns Up in Missouri Full of Sand. A Corone 'a Jury Declares Royal Biggins Dead , And a Detective Say "Produce Your Stiff. " A very curious question has just arisen and one yhich promises to be extremely difficult to solve , viz : the whereabouts of the dead body of Roy al Rigglns , who committed suiciuo on the west bound emigrant train ou the 28th day of November hat. A ROMANTIC STARTER. There was quifo a r < manoo connected - ed with this affair which briefly is tjld as follows : "Jamea Biggins , well kdown in An drew and Nndaway counties , Mo , , became engaged to one of Andrevr county 'a ? air daughters , but for Home reason , bast known to the maiden , broke off the ongtgemant. James , in his disappointment , concluded to bury himself In the great west , -far from home and friends. Procuring an in surance upon his life , in favor of his aged mother , he purchased a ticket for the Pacific coast aud left home to begin life anew. Ho was a shrewd business man and to all appearances was in good shape financially. TRAGIC CLOSE OF LIFE. When tha train , on which Riggina was travelling , reached Gannett uta- tlon on the U. P. , the man stopped into the water closet , placed a pistol to Els forehead , pulled the trigger and fired himself unprepared and sudden ly into the presence of his maker. The remains were taken to North Platte , whore a coroner's jury Oct 29th returned a verdict in accordance with the facts. The jurors were all well known citizens of that locality and were as follows : "W. S. Penlston , foreman ; J. M. McLuczvs , P. H. Mo- Evoy , W. H. Welty , F. N. Dick , W. B. Ellis , 0. W. Brooks , coroner. A SAD FAREWELL. In the memorandum book of the deceased WHS written in pencil the fol lowing farewell ? ppe l. "Friends , if I have any on this train , will ple-taessnd mo home to bo buried at Fdlmore , Andrew county , Mo. May God forgive my eins , for I have sinned very much more than I thought I ever could bsar. May God help my ponr dear old moth er to bear this terrible grief , sustain her in her agony over the low of one so dear as I have been to her. If any one had told me six months ago that ] would now be contemplating suicide , .or that I ever could have been tempt ed to do as I have done , I could not have believed it. Oh , God , the weight that oppresses me , I cannot stand il any longer. I would have liked to have died at homo , and have died more line a man , but it cannot be. Fare well my nngtl. Good bye , coy angel mother. To the young men : Young men if you are ever tempted to dc wrong , remember what it leads to. II any of iv.y money is aone it will be taken after I am dend. " THE BODY CLAIMED. The suicide occurred ou Wednesday aud a tfelegrrm was sent to Filluiore , which rea-htd a brother-in-law of the deceased. Dr. E B. Euaor , just as he was boarding tbe W-tbaah train with his bride to begin their neddlng tour. Bo arrived in Omaha on Satur d * , acd proceeded to North Platte on Sunday to secure , 'he ' you kg man's effects , including ver ei ht hundred dollars cash , hav ing meantime telegr ph-d the authori ties to forward tbe remains to this city , to h's ad'.resp. The body was accordingly sent to Omtha and reach ed here on Sunday afternoon , where i was taken in charge" by Undertaker Jacobs. SEALED UP. It had been placed in a pbin pine case at North P'atte. The interior of the case was a second ciae of galvan ized iron , tbe top of which was solder- d on very securely. This case is still at Mr. Jacob's establishment aud is addrersed to "Dr. E. B. Eusor , Oiruha , Neb. " In pursuance with the doctor's orders , the body nas here transferred by Mr. Jacobs and his assistants to a plain metallic ( cast iron ) caae , crane & Breed's mnko , In which it was coaled tightly. This ws done in the pre sence of several witnesses. The re mains wore in very bad condition in deed and difficult to handle. The blood was atill cozing from a ghastly hole in the centre of the forehead. THE LAST JOURNEY. On Monday afternoon the brother-in-law returned from Noih Platte , and that evauing or next morning proceeded home with the body , which was interred with im posing ceremonies , aa was supposed , and without removing the lid , owing to the condition of the remains. It appears ttat the refusal to exhibit the contents of the coffin aroused some suspicion and when the application for the insurance money waa "made , the company began an investigation which resulted , last week , in exhuming "the body from the grave at the Fillmore cemetery , when the startling diecovery is said to have been made that the coffin con tained , "SIMPLY HAND collected from ISebrnaka'sfertile soil. " ( The slur will be noticed. ) Deputy Sheriff Stets , of Andrew couuty , at orc-j left for St. Ipuls to arrest the mn auppo.'od to be the chief conspirator , aud whom we judge to bo Dr. Ensor. Lotturs hf d pre viously been written to North Platte aud elsewhere making inquiries in the case. Tle : Marrycville , JIo. , Demo crat saya : "It M claimed that the rema'ns of James Higgles were actually placed iu the coffin , but if that is true the dutec- lives claim thfy must have been stolen therefrom while enronte to Ftllraoro The case is & curious one and shroud ed in mystery and that the facts may all come to light we withhold further comment. " PROOF POSITIVE. TheNorth Platte Republican com menting on the cafe says : "It is a strange cae. There are hundreds hero vho saw the dead body. The record of the coroner's jury in his cate is here , the body was sealed in a metal C'.se by one of our most reputable citizen' , and thetcise was as certainly delivered to the certified agmit of i Ripgins * friends There is no manner : of doubt but that the body of a man i whose papers showed him to be Ryal Ripgir.a , if Andrew , Filmore county , Mii-souri , waa sealed np in a zinc case and shipped from North Pl&tte to his Missouri friends. " STRONGER STILL , Oar reporter to-day called at Undertaker Jacob's establishment , were the facts stated above concern ing the transfer of the remains where corrobborated. Messrs. M. H. Parrish , Ellas Glah , M. 0. Maul and Charlie Withnell were present at be time and acout the idea of .here . being fraud attempted against he insurance company. . They will swear the matter down to a fine point f necessary , and ssy that if the body was taken from the coffin it was after tlifft 0-naha. Tboy bad a letter on Friday last from Dr. Eiaor , dated at it. Louis , February 10. WHAT THE DOCTOR SAYS. The doctor says .that the rumor ia ; ht Higgina ia not dead ; that ho , the doctor never went to North Platte ; that Mr. Jacobs "put no body in the casket but put sand in It , " and that the doctor was trying lo get the in surance held on Riggina life. He says Riggina never had his life insur ed , BO far aa he knows and that no one has made any application for the insur ance money. The writer was on the eve of starting for Fillmore , and re quested Mr. Jacobs to send him a let ter , stating that he had put the body of Rigging in the metallic case , and giving names of witnesses. In reply a letter waa sent , signed by all the parties named ah..ve , Mr. Jacobs be ing absent from the city. THK 3IYSTERY. So far aa there being any mystery about the death uf the young man , there ia done. Our reporter saw the bed ) at the corouor's , and knows the statement of Mr. Parriah , aud others , to be correct in every particular. If , as stated , the exhumed coffin waa found to "contain sand , then the ques tion If , Whore and when was the sand substituted for the remains ? "for it was done on the read somewhere between Omaha , and HM1- more via St Jou. If the young man was insured it mighc bo possible thai the a cuta of the insurance company made . he transfer at St. Joe to avoid payment of the 'policy , or they may have nude it after interment. Sc-m Prcf , Aughey some of that sand uuc we venture to say that it will be foun ; to savor of the foot-priuta of thu Pukea and not of the honest Nobraa ana.
