Dynamite Outrages

(PEE PBESB ASSOCIATION.) London, December 28. The funeral of Sinnott, the constable killed by the explosion at detective office in Dublin, took place to-day and was enormously attended. Mr Gladstone, who is at the watering place, Biarritz, on hearing of the Dublin outrage, declared it to be both unaccountable and idiotic. In consequence of the recent outrage all houses in Dublin are being searched in the endeavour to trace the culprits. December 29. The Daily News advocates the revival of the clause in the Coercion Act, authorising private magisterial enquiry, in order to discover the perpetrators of dynamite outrages. An anonymous letter has been received by the Right Hon. John Morley, Chief Secretary for Ireland, threatening him with murder. Nkw Yobk, December 29.

The great railroad speculator and multi- millionaire Jay Gould died at his residence in New York on Friday morning December 2nd. His funeral, which was a semi- public one, took place on December 3rd. None of the family or relatives were present. Those who came to see the dead man were not in sympathy nor touch with him during his life, and were merely attracted by a spirit of curiosity. There was no sorrow at his bier, but a cold sense of satisfaction eeemed to pervade every quarter with the fact that he was dead. Such a cold and heartless funeral has seldom been seen in New York. His estate is estimated at 100,000,000 dollars. By his will none of his vast wealth goes outside his family. There is not a dollar left for any charitable purpose whatever. After Gould's death there was a disposition to think he had been harshly dealt with, and people were generally incliued to give him the beuefit of many doubts, but his will caused a general revulsion. At the coming session of Parliament Mr Lowther will introduce a Bill providing for the slaughter of all foreign cattle imported into Great Britain at the port at which they are landed. It is stated, apparently with authority, that Mrs Maybrick - who is in a working prison at Liverpool on the charge of murdering her husband— is critically ill. It was thought she was dying, and tb.6 last sacrament was administered. She made the last confession of a dying prisoner and declared she was innocent of any immoral intent in deed and act against the life of James Maybrick. She had several hemorrhages of the lungs, which left her so weak that if they occur again she will probably die. She had been suffering from hemorrhage for six weeks. She had petitioned the Home Secretary to release her from prison before the disease becomes incurable.
