It is not so many years ago that Tony B , the at tuche of a central Iowa paper , now do fnnct. rode out from a southern Iowa city one bright morninsr , perched daring ly on the brake of a Hat car tliat was attached tachod to a "wild freight" and loaded with iron rails. Ho was , like other reporters , made up of vices and virtues only tlio first seen by the world , the latter best known by his intimate friends. He had been in newspaper work for about six years , was thoroughly capable , and scored moro "scoops" than wcro ever recorded against him. This , in the eyes of the city editor , insured hi * entrance into paradise. To make the story short , forty miles out from its starting point , the "wild freight. " with a terrible crash , went through a bridge , down sixty feet , and Tony sitting on the brake beam. When the conductor of the tram ( the only ono uninjured ) crawled out of tno wreck , his eyes fell first on Tony , lying across the side of a dismantled box car , on his cliist a heavy rail , his legs crushed and dying. Beyond him lay a dead brakcman ; the engineer was buried under his machine , and by a large bomliler was the liroman with a broken back. Tony was conscious , nnd when the conductor reached him asked for paper and pencil. They were found in nis. pocket. Unable to write himself , ho dictatad this , angrily orderIng - Ing ttio men who had conic up to let him alone : C K , Managlnc Editor Star , Iowa : Train through bridso at . Was on board , and am hurt. Will send full par- tlculaw at once. T. Ii. A farmer was secured , who carried it to the nearest station , Then this boy , true to iris duty , and not Ilinching bcforo death , suffering frightful agony , and while willing hands sought in vain to re lease him from his position , dictated a "special" of 1500 ! words to his paper. It was with difiioulty that ho could breathe , and every grasp cost him a wrench of agony. Bnt ho held death back down to the last few linos. "Tho killed were " and so on , ending with the name of "Tony , reporter. " As ho ended that Ins eyes tilled with tears , and ho looked up wistfully to the conduc tor , who had written the telegram for him , and who himself could notkeop his tears back. "Tell my mother , " said Tony , "that I did my duty , and , boys , rush that over the wires tor me. It's a "scoop.1" It went over tlio wires all right , and it was si ' 'scoop" ; but before it was printed Tony was dead. DR.FRICE'S SPECIAL FLAVOR !

How Dirt-tin nnrt Cork Have Kfltlcn OfT In Size Irlsli Hunks and Tliclr Uni.rA.sT , August 20. [ Correspondence of the Cleveland Leader. ] I have now visited the three great cities of Ireland. They are strikingly different in character. Cork , the metropolis of the south , has about 80,000 people. It has a slow popu lation , and its buildings arc old and dirty. It ha grown but little for years. Its people arc poor , and its beggars numerous. There arc some line stores in .St. Patrick street. Its cathedral cost $500,000 , and it ha.s a promenade known as the M.trdykc , which gives a mile walk under wide-spreading oiins. Cork i.s the greatest butter market of Ireland , and Cork butter is quoted in all the market reports of England. The butter sold is unsalU'd , and is as n rule weet and good. So far I have not found any salted bullet in Ireland , ami at. the hotel * each man salts his own. Cork is about the size of Columbus , Dublin is as big as Cincinnati , and Holfn.st is just about the size of Cleveland or Washington city. Belfast is the only progressive city of the lot , ami it may be called the American city of Ireland. Cork had in 1831 ju t six less population titan it had in 1301 , and Dub lin had lost 5,800 in 1881 from iU census of twenty years before. BclfaM , on the other hand , has nearly doubled since 1801 , and between 1871 and 1681 it gained more than : j 1,000. It had in 1S31 a population of X'OS.l''S , and it now has about ' 'x'0,000. V Cork and Dublin are Irish cities of the past. Belfast i.s the great Irish city of the day. Its buildings are. new ami massive. Its stores are as tine as those of Broadway , and its people arc inspired with all the vigor of modern go-aheata- tivcness. They understand how to ad vertise and display their goods , anil they are ready to make money in any way possible. 1 saw but few beggars in Bel fast. There was much poverty and. some rags , but there was nothing of the begging of tlio south of Ireland. The streets of Belfast are wide and well paved , and its tram cars run out into the suburbs , \yhere you lind comitr ) houses not far different Irom those of America. I drove out the Antrim road in a jaunting car , and passed block after block of pretty eight or ton-room villas , made of brick , with little bay windows in their fronts and with a strip of grass between them and the street. They looked for all the world like a slice ot \ \ ashington city planted in Ireland. * Belfast is the great manufacturing city of Ireland. Cork used to make some woolens , but its factories are now in a large part going to ruin. Dublin inaues whisky and porter in great quantities , but it manufacturers nothing else Dub lin whisky i.s noted for its good qualities , and Ciuinness' stout is sold all over the world. The two noted cathedrals of Dub lin are built out of whisky and porter. St. Patrick's cathedral , in which Dean Swift and Stella are buried , though built in A. 1) . 11011 , was restore I in 18GO-1SGU by this big porter manufacturer at a cost of about seven hundred thousand dollars. Guinness , the portcrmaker , was too rich a man to gowithout : i title , so he was made a _ lord or a baronet. Avhen he died his business was so great that there was no man in Ireland who could purchase it. It is now run by tlio family , all the mem bers of which arc several times million aires. Poi tor costs , by the way , about six cents a bottle hero , and good whisky $1 a gallon and upwards. The tax on whisky is heavy , and a good article comes Irish. The big whisky man who restored Christ's church cathedral , was Henry Roe , who spent $ "iOO,000 upon it. His family are still in the whisky business , but their money lias left them , I am told , and one of the .sons sets 3,000 a year for acting as manager of the big business his father built up. * - Belfast has many factories of many kinds. It is the center of the linen man ufacture of the world , and in its shin yards the White Star ships arc built. Linen and flax mills are scattered throughout the city , and I went through the great York street miljs , tlio'two fac tories of which cover eight acres of ground , and which is the largest linen mill in the world. J saw thousands of workmen of the all workmen of all age.s , boys and girls , men and women , and noted the various processes of turning llax into table clothes , prints , curtains , and other kinds of linen goods. The factory hands did not compare in pros perity with those of a great American shop. The majority of the girls and women and ail of the boys were bare footed , ana their wages were not half those received in America. Their hours of work wore from G-.30 a. in. to 0. p. m. , with a recess for breakfast and dinner. This mill solids great quantities of linen to New York. It wa.s making linen for Troy shirts in ono of its departments when 1 visited it , and in another it was turning out fancy patternsof linen lawns for American seaside wear. * * * Tiie climate , of Ireland is especially adapted to the making of linen , and Mr. Kennedy , the manager of the York street mills , tells mo that though Belgium is working hard to take the place of Ireland as ttio center of linen manufacture , she will never bo able to do so. The Belfast Irish linen factors keep abreast with the times , and they have the better climate. They are continually improving their work , and they spare no expense to got tlio most improved machinery. Their workmen arc bred to the loom , and they feel that thcro i.s no danger of their be ing superseded by any other country of the world. Ireland Tins now made linen for over 060 years. Until 1805 it was spun by hand. Now machinery does everything , ami the machines are im- provlug.riglit along. All of the great cities of Ireland are situated on the sea , and all have magnili- cent harbors and extensive shipping. Belfast is in largo part built on ground reclaimed from the sea , and much ot the town is on land only six feet above high vator mark Cork is at tlio mouth of the river Lcc , am' its harbor at Quecnstown is large enough to anchor tlio navies of the world. Dublin is at the mouth of tlio river Liffoy , and it has Kingstown for its harbor. It exports , like Cork , great quantities of cattle , horses and agricul tural produce , and it hcmh out its ship loads of whisky and stout to all coun tries. * * Among the finest bnildinsrs In Ireland are those owned by the various banks. They correspond , in this respect , to the Kro.it insurance companies of America. The Bank of Ireland has branches over the isluml , with headquarters at Dublin , us have , indeed , the great Ulster bank and others. Ti > e chief olliccrs of the Bank of Ireland , at Dublin , are in the Iri h house of parliament , by all odds tiio finest building in Dublin. It is a mas sive stone building , of the Grecian onler of architecture , with great columns around ltd front , and with a court , in which two red-coated soldiers , with muskets on their shoulders , continually pace. It cost originally , nearly half a million dollars , but when the parliament of Ireland was abolished , it was sold to this bank for -fi-OO.OOO ami an annual rental of $1.500. The Ulster bunk and the Hibernian Mnk have nlso grand building * in Dublin , and the ca1iroom of the Ulster IwiiCk is superior to any in < hc bank * of New \ork. It reminds HIP much in Its decorations of the cnsh-room of our treasury At Washington , though it U vitally dlfTewit in character. The counters of tDe Ulster banlc arc of ma hogany and they are , 'I should say , about six feet wide. Tjictr tops are rounded in the shape of a bow which has Its ends tttrnbd up , ami tricy the little mahogony boxes about the 5:7.0 : of small olgar boxes in giving you your money. They throw your golden nott'fc into the. bet and give U a push alonti the counter and it slides down to you. In the Knglish banks large quantities of gold are weighed instead tif being counted. The sovereigns are shoveled into the scales with a .scoop like that which grocers oflen use for sugar , and there i.s less danger of a mistake than in counting. Money is plenty in Ireland as far as loaning goes , and the supply of capital greater than the demand. The Dublin papers have many advertisement * of money to be lo.tnad to "householders and bondholders without security , " and 4 and 5 per cent is considered a good rate of intcrcit. % I lind the cabins of the laborers in the north of Ireland a little butter than those of the south. Some of thorn have slate roofs , but altogether they are poor affair * . I hear of land being rented at f 2. " an acre per year on long leases , and it I.s a wonder to me how the tanners can pay the rent and live. A Minnesota trav eler tells mo he has an Irish son-in-law , who has just rented twenty acre * at ? leper per acre , at auclnn , and that the man who rented it calculated that the. crop would pay the rent anil ho would haye the straw for hi s profits. "Straw , " said this man , "is worth from $ . > to $10 a ton hero , and this will enable him to make something off the Investment. " This gentleman remarked upon the in jury winch Ireland would receive through the shipping into England of Australian meat. Said he : " 1 .saw Australian mut ton selling in London for live cents a pound , and 1 underhand that a ship lately arrived with a cargo of 00,000 frozen sheep. These sheep are killed in Australia and are carried to England in refrigerators. Australia is the great sheep country of the world , and it has about eighteen slice ) ) to every inhab itant. America has less than one sheep to each inhabitant. If American meat has hurt Ireland , Australian ineat will do it the greater damage. " , * * South and central Ireland i altogether for home rule. Northeastern Ireland is against it. The Belfast people are as ex citedly for Great Britain as those of Dub lin and Cork are otherwise. This ele ment , however , Is not largo in compari son with tiie home rulers , as there were 8U Irish homo rule members in the last parliament to 10 in favor of it. The Cath olic population of Ireland are as a rule homo rulers , but a great many of the Protestants arc not. The Belfast riots have been in full 'blast during my visit , and the. } ' originate largely on religious grounds. The police are Catholics , and the rioters op\osid \ to them are Protest ants. Both are angry and are in the wrong , and the re'd-coated soldiers of the queen have to -railed in to Keep ttie peace. It is'not safe to go into some parts of Belfast to-day for fear of being shot or stoned. 1 could not get a cabman to take me tosee the cemetry yesterday because ho was afraid of being shot on the way. and I drove from the depot to night between two lines of soldiers and police. The cabby yelled as we passed through on the "gallop , and I held my breath for fear of stray bullets. J . V I wa.s mucli/mtercstcd during my visit to St. Patrick'svC thedral in Dublin , in talking with th ol'd verger about the re cent re-mtet incut of Dean Swift and Stelia. Their graves were formerly wide apart in the olu church , but about twenty years ago they were opened , under this man's supervision , and the bones are now buried in the same cofiin. ' ' 1 found , " eaid this old vciger , "tliat nothing except the black skeletons of both were loft , but seven of tlio teeth of Stella were white and good , and she must have had a beau tiful set in life. [ laid there bones to gether , and this much of them , at least , is now united. " This tomb i.s tinder tiio floor of the ca thedral and two slabs mark its place. The inscription on the Dean's monument was written by himself , and translating it. trom the Latin , H reads : "Hero is laid the body of Jonathan Swift , dean of tins cathedral church , where cruel anger can no longer break his heart. Go. traveler , and emulate , if possible , him who was a stern vindicator of liberty. Die.d 19th October , 1745 , and in the seventy-eighth year of his age. " Stella's inscription I copy also : ' Underneath lie interred tno mortal remains of Mrs. Ileslor Johnson , better Known to the world by the name of Stella , under which she is celebrated in the writings of Dr. Johnathan Swift , dean of this cathedral. S4ie was a person of extraordjnary ondowmentsand accom plishments in body , mind , and behavior , and justly admired and respected by all who know her on account of her many eminent virtues , as well as for her nat ural and acquired perceptions. "She died January ! 37 , 1727-28 , in the forty-eighth year of her age. * * * " She died fifteen years before Swift , and Swift probably wrote the above inscrip tion. It secm > - to mo that a great deal of misplaced sentiment has been wasted on both her and Swift. It would take a greater genius than Swift to-day to treat a woman as ho did Stella and maintain a respectable standing among Ins fellows. 11 would take a more talented woman than Stella to maintain the respect of Mother Grundy , and at the same time trot about after n man who would not marry her. and why treated her as brut ally as did the old reprobate who cloaked his brutal nature in the garb of the min istry. Wo waste too many tears on illc gitimato loves of the past. Wo cry with Petrarch over the married Laura , wo shed tears oyer the graves of Abclanl and iris paramour Heloise , and raise monuments to .Stella ami Swift. It may bo poetic , but it in hardly proper. VltA.XK iiKOUOE C-AIU'ENTKIl. A Veteran Cliaplnln. Pittsburg Commercial : Hoy.

Indianapolis Journal : There is now among Iho patients at St. Vincent's hos pital , this city , the venerable Nov. Unman Weitua-pfcl , who is being treated for erysipelas , llo U now , and has been since liM , a momberof tl c order of lieu- cdictme-s , ono of tbc household at St. MtsinradS abbey. Spencer county. Pre vious to joining the unior he had been a mission priest at Kvaiisvillc. Oldenburg ami other places , and a teacJicr of theol ogy at Vinccnncs. He is of medium height , ha * a well-formed head , a line face and a benign manner. He was born in AUacu in 131U , ami is now past .seventy- three years old. Ho came to Indiana in 18W and w s ordained a priest the follow ing year. No ono to look at this placid priest woulit imagine him to have once been tlio center of the wildest religious excite ment and most outrageous persecution Indiana has ever known. The injury of that persecution is so poignant to this day , though two-fcoro year. * have passed , that it is with dillionl y that he can bo brouglit to talk about it. He spunks < ! or- 111:111 : and his Kngli.sh , while wonderfully accurate grammatically , ha a strong ( ierman accent In .May , 1811 , while pastor of a oongro- gallon at Kransville , ho wa accused ot rape by a married woman named Schmoll , who charged the crime had been committed while she was attending confessional The charge was made by husband of tlic woman , Martin Schmoll , an infidel , who demandctt fc'fOO as tliu price of silence and not to bring a crimi nal action. The priest , was thundur- .struck , but immediately informed a num ber of his brotlier priests and borne of the members of his congregation. Tlio woman Schmoll had been a loose char- aqter in Cincinnati , andcomiiiirtolivans- ville to visit her family , had married the widower Martin Sclunoll , ttio ceremony being performed by a justice of Uie peace. It wus a clear ca.se of conspiracy , n law yer named Davis forming the third member. The exposure of tie matter created the greatest excitement and the priest hail to be placed in hiding to cscaiie lynching. The Catholics of Kvansville were then few in number and poor. They were all thoroughly convinced of the bad character of trw Schmolls , but the storm was i-o great that their feeble pro. test waa almost unheard. Tlio priest's bail was placed : it $1,000 ami there was ditlicnlty to get any one in EvansviHe to go upon his bond , as threats were made to urnb tlio property of any one doing so. Kail was finally secured and ho was re leased. As he would have been unsafe in Evansville , he left bctwo.ui terms of court and visited congregations in Illi nois and afterward in Kastorn Indiana. It was given out that lie had lied , but lie was promptly on hand for trial at the September term of court. The prosecut ing attorneys asked a continuance until March , 18JIJ , which was granted. Father \Veinziupfel was in tlio interim to have gone out on the missions , but the bishop was prevailed upon not to send him , threats having been made that lie would be murdered. In the meanwhile Schmoll'a attorney , Davis , had been going to Cincinnati with Mrs. Schmoll ostensibly to get ovidwico of her good character. The suspicions of Schmoll were aroused , and Davis lied , not to return. Tlio case was continued until September , 1813. Tlio testimony of Mrs. Sehmoll was f-o flagrantly con tradictory that many publicly asserted that she had perjured herself. There was a disagreement of tlio jury and a change of venue taken to Princeton , ( libson county , where , tlio 5th day of March , 1841 , the trial began. The Hov. August Bessonios was present as a deep ly-interested looker-on , and testified to the sensation caused throughout south- tirn Indiana by the case , The jury wiis a protcstant one there was then a deep- seated prejudice against Catholics and a verdict of guilty was brouglit in , with a sentence of live years' hard labor in the penitentiary. The handcuffs that had been prepared were much too large for the lean wrists of tliR Driest , and the blacksmith making new ones said in grnfl'tones , "Hcdoesn t seem the terrible man ho is lield to be.1 Speaking of those days , Father Wuln- swpfoi says"In after years I was often surprised how I could sleep in prison that night ; 'iow I enjoyed peace of soul , feeling ( jnito happy in the midst of brutal insnits heaped upon me : when now the remembrance of those days occasionally ( ills me with indignation , in spite of my self. " On the journey , handcuffed , to Evansville - villo , the conveyance was frequently halted , when the sheriff gratilfed the curiosity of those whom ho met by'exhib iting his prisoner. Father liossonics , with others who witnessed the trial at Princeton , had admonished the little con gregation at Evansville to keep quiet and make no demonstration , but quite n num ber of the men of the congregation never theless came forward to extend to the unjustly condemned pastor and friend their heartfelt sympathy , and accompan ied him on the boat on which lie was taken to Jcfiorsonvillo prison , On the boat a plan had been contrived among the passengers to got the sheriff ashore and liberate the priest , landing him wherever he desired. Father Woin- zujpfol declined to avail himself of any opportunity to escape , saying he would rather bo imprisoned and patiently wait tlio result than by fleeing transgress the aw. aw.Schmoll brouglit suit for divorce from his wife on account of her alleged inti macy with Davis , and the revelations then made utterly disgusted all ( lucent people. Some time after this Sclnnoll , who had removed to St. Charles , Mo. , betrayed himself to have boon the inventor of the foul charges made against the priest. Hundreds of Protestant ladies of Evansville protested against tlio impns onmcnt of Father \Veinzcopfel upon tlio testimony of such characters , and Kent to the governor a petition demanding his release , Six hundred signatures were of those ladies. Politics interfered to pre vent just-.co to the poor priest. A presidential dontial election took place in 1844. ( Joy ernor Whitcomb visited Father Woin- zojpfel in prifonat Jefferrionvillu. He told the priest that lie had been convinced of the injustice of the sentence pronounced against him. but in case lie should par don him bcforo the election too * place the Protestant democrats would all go over to the whip party.

Could he safely set the Catholic priest frcn ? In February , 1815 , President Polk , on his way to Wash- mgton , was given a grand reception.

In some it becomes violent ; in others noticeable ; in others never known nor suspected , except there is what might be termed a collusion of circumstances. " There have boon some curious cases of tins last species of insanity. Sonic seven or eight j-cars ago a well-known public ollicial of the state ot Ohio visited Niag ara Falls with his family for a month's rest. He was nervous and worn out , and there was certain business and political matters wbicli followed him there and could not be shaken off The gentleman did not realize that his nerves were at all shaken ; on the contrary , ho prided him self in believing that ho could endure more mental worry than three ordinary men. lie had been at tlio falls three or four days when ho was joined by a Chicago capitalist. The two men had a speculation together , and the details were to bo settled here. Ono day after dinner the pair went into Prospect park and Sat down on a bench facing the rapids , and not more than live feet from the water. When they had talked for an hour or so the Ohio gentle man seemed to bo somewhat excited in his speech and movements. Ho throw several sticks into the water , talked in loud tones , and soon attracted attention. The capitalist thought it a bit queer , but felt no uneasiness until the other sudden ly siczed htm in a tremendous' grip and said : "Blank , you're a d d scoundrel , and I'm going to send you over the falls. " The capitalist was the smaller and tlio weaker man , and ho felt the helplessness of the situation. Ho was gripped by the shoulders , but ho used his hands to grip the seat behind him , and replied to the lunatic : " 1 know I'm a bad man , and you must give mo time to pray. " "All right , all right , " said the Oliioan- "you shall have two minutes for prayers , and tlnm we'll go over tlio falls together. Say , Blank , you're it d d good fellow after all , ami we'll go together. " The idea with the Chicago man w s. of course , to gain time. The people who had been attracted by the loud talk had passed on , and it so happened that no ono else came that way. Ho hoped the Innatio might change hh mind after two or thrco minute.s , but instead of that ho grow more impatient , declaring that they must hurry up or they would bo too late. Despairing of aid from others the capitalist finally said ; "See hero , Mr. Blank , lot's go up and jump oil'the Goat Island bridge. We'll nave further to swim , and I wanttoleavo my wiillet with some ono , " "By ISeorgo ! ( Jood idea ; come on ! " exclaimed - claimed the other , and they walked up the path and out of the park arm in arm. Tnuy wore no soonnr out of fcight of tlio rannU than thu Oliioan began to grow calmer , and as they bore off toward tlio hotels he removed nis hat , scratched his head in a thoughtful way , and picked up the point ho dropped a quarter of an hour before and went on debating the transac tion as if nothing unusual had occurrod. An hour Inter , when asked if ho was in earnest in threatening his friend , ho was completely iliiinfounded , nor could ho bo madu to behove tliat anything of the sort had occurred. However , a dim suspicion that lie might have been unduly eicltod by the roar nnd clash of the waters crept into his mind. Ho went down to the park alone , but returned almost at onne , Jii.s face very pale , his oyot ! betraying wildncad , and his wliolu manner showing that hu hud passed through a sever" struggle.

The est , however , was a failure. A _ battery Mid instrument were placed ateithor end of the lead pipe , but there was no cur- out , and it wa.s soon ascertained that licotirroul all passed from the wire to ho pipe and from tlio pipe to the best ( iiowti conductor mother earth. Mr. Jrorgo Wood , a clerk to the patentees , said afterward that for several days it was thought Professor Morse would lese d.s reason in consequence of this disap- lointnient. After a lengthy consultation F. O. J.

Smith's suggestion was a .success , much to the delight of Morse , who had in the meantime gone al- nest distracted ami tilings went on swimmingly. The line having been com- ileted between the two cities , tiie otlicoat Washington established in the north end of the capitol. Mr. Louis F. Banitzingor was the operator the first in this city , and a good one.
