O'DONNELL'S DOOM.

HIS LAST HOURS ON EARTH.

New York, December IC— Tho Brooklyn "Eaglo" prints a London cablegram in which it is stated that O'Donnoll practically '-. admitted he was an Invincible. Saturday evening ho had an interview with his , brother, and when the latter left the prisoner he was asked if O'Dbnnell had made any new statements. "He said," answered the brother, "he never had felt any regret for killing Carey, and feels none now. He also said he would make this declaration upon the scaffold, and that these would be his dying words." Being closely pressed, the brother mado the following statement: "For fear anything might happen him between now and Monday, my brother sent for me and asked me to put before his friends his last statement. Ho intends, upon tho scaffold, to say the following words: "I killed James Carey, tho informer. I am not sorry for killing him, and I never have been. Not only that, butall London's wealth would not buy me or induce mo to give any one away." A Rescuing Party from Amorica. The polico to-night assert that the British Government i.-i informed from New York that a strong and well-organised party of American Invinciblcs left New York on November -!)th, aboard the Assyrian .Monarch, for the purpose of attempting tho rescue of O'Donnell. This party, the American despatch says, are desperate, and through allies in London have chartered a small and swift stoamer in London to con voy thoir rescued fellow-man to sea. As ridiculous as any such idiotic scheme must appear to poisons acquainted with the situation at Newgate, or any other English prison, still the Scotland Yard force nave taken oilicial notice of it, and posted a strong corps of special men at Gravesend for tho purpose of arresting these Americans when the Assyrian Monarch arrives on Sun day. When questioned about the matter, tho Scotland Yard Inspector said that while tlio story about a rescue was regarded us ridiculous, the police believe that if un American party come at all their real mission would be one of revenge against the officers and others engaged in the prosecution of O'Donnell, and that every effort would be mado to arrest the entire party the moment the steamship landed. The Government has issued a per mit to the police to search persons and luggage and examino into the identity of every passenger arriving aboard the Assyrian Monarch, and undoubtedly some arrests will be made, as the Government believe their information from New York specific and reliable. Later.—The polico boarded tho steamer Assyrian Monarch Sunday, but no arrests were made, as there was no passenger list on board to furnish the names of suspected persons. London, Decomber 16th. — O'Donnell passed a good night, and continues cheerful. His appetite is fair, but he enjoys smoking moro than eating. He was visited this afternoon by Father Fleming and another priest, and was attentive to their exhorta tions. The strictest reticence is observed by the prison officials. A special guard of 24 mon is on duty insido of the prison, day and night, and soveral detectives are stationed outside. The streets in tho vicinity of the prison aro empty and quiet. Some uneasiness being felt about Binns's drop, it was thoroughly tested to-day, and the machinery again overhauled. It seemed to work well.- The exclusion of representa tives of the press from tho prison, and the difficulty of obtaining information, cause much dissatisfaction. The execution will certainly take place at 8 o'clock on Monday morning. Victor Hugo has written to Queen Victoria asking her to pardon O'Donnell. He says: "The Queen of England has shown more than oiloe her greatness of heart, and the Queen will grant O'Donnoll his life and accept tho unanimous tlianks of the whole civilised world." Ho ;Hou_,t3 tho Scaffold with a Firm Tread. London, December 17. —Patrick O'Don nell paid the death penalty within the walls of Newgate this morning. Tho drop fell at precisely S o'clock. Last night O'Donnoll went to bed about 10 o'clock, and romnined apparently asleep until 5.30 this morning. At G o'clock Father Fleming came, and the prisoner remained in prayer some time. At the conclusion of prayers the sacrament was administered. O'Donnell partook of a light breakfast and appeared to eat with relish. At 7.45 the prison bell began tolling, and a similar warning was sent from the belfry of St. Sepulchro Church on tho llolburn Viaduct diroctly after, The Governor of the gaol, with the head warden, entered, and O'Donnoll was at once led to the pinioning room, halfway between the con demned cell and tho prison yard. Here thoy found the executioner, Binns, awaiting, together with tho Sheriff of London, three wardens, and the prison docto'-. Binnsbound ' O'Donnell's arms with leather thongs, O'Donnell submitting quietly. The pro cession was then formed, the prisoner in the contro, and thoyquietly marched totheprison yard, passing so closely to the few spectators admitted that they could havo touched 0 Donnell but for tho lattice work which soparatcd them. Tho scaffold was.quietly reached. The nooso hung ominously from the cross-beam abovo. Tho scaffold was half boarded up, so that O'Donnell's attend ants were seen by those present only from the waist up. Binns lost not a moment in placing the white cap over the victim's face and adjusting the nooso, and a moment laterO'Donnolldisappeared, a quivering cord boing all that remained to show whore ho had stood. The Governor nnd the doctor gazed a moment into the cellar-pit in which his body swung, and then turned away. Outside the gaol a considerable crowd collected. Thoy dispersed directly tho black flag was hoisted. Twenty polico were detailed in side tho gaol and constables were posted around the walls outside.

Whilo being pinioned O'Donnell smiled and seemed indifferent to his approaching fate. He expressed to the Governor re grets for the scene ho had made in the dock after being sentenced. Ho walked firmly to tho scaffold. His death was instan taneous, the fall being S feot. His brother was not admitted to tho execution, but remained outside, praying excitedly. Tho morning was wet and gloomy. Tho crowd around tho gaol was quiet. Binns performed his duty quickly. He allowed a drop of eight feot. Tho noose was placed oxactly as Marwood used to place it. Binns pulled the levor trap pre cisely as the neighbouring church clocks wero striking eight. The crowds in front of Newgate increased rapidly, and shortly before eight o'clock thoy numbered 20,000 persons. Tho strcots were closely packed, but the crowd pre served a very quiet and orderly demeanour. The Irish eloment was conspicuous. As tho moment for execution approached, the crowd swayed up against the prison wall, and tho roadway. ' which before was kept clear, was blocked. The polico, howovor, moved rapidly through the multitude, and easily cleared tho way. When the black flag was hoisted, announcing the tragedy at an end, there was no demonstration, although suppressed excitement was marked on many faces. O'Donnell's brother occupied the doorway opposite the prison, in view of the flagstalf, upon which his eyes were riveted. Ho was an object of the deepest interest. Tho crowd pressed so closely upon him that tho polico had to interfere for his protection. When the black Hag was hoisted, he re moved his hat and remained some mlmitcs, apparently praying, his features working painfully. He stayed at tho same spot somo time after the execution. To tho people lingering around he said, in a hoarse voice, " My poor brother ! Ho has died bravely, as man should ever die !" This was re ceived with cries of "Yes." Ho then de parted and the crowd disappeared,

THE WAR IN EGYPT.

Tho HIU Tribes Attaoh tho Egyptian

Troops and Defeat Them,

Cairo, December f).—News reached Aden that a great force of the hill tribes attacked five companies of Egyptian trp.ops which wero reconnoitering outside Suakin on the sth instant. Sovere lighting ensued, the Egyptians boing completely annihi lated and all their artillery captured.

Spies entered Suakin and reported that hill men were hovering near town. On hearing this, Mahmoud Tapes Pasha, anxious to efface his defeat at Tokkan on tho Gth ultimo, on account of whioh a court-martial is ponding, sent forward fivo hundred black troops and two hundred Bashi Bazouks against the hill tribes. Ho himself remained at Suakin. At a distance of three hours' march from the town the Egyptians were attackod by soveral thousand men. The Egyptians fought fiercely, but wero out to pieces, and only fifty, naif of whom were officers, escaped. Tho defeat of troops hitherto regarded as the flower of tho army causes consterna tion here, as it tends to show the task of opening a route from Suakin to Berbe. with

the material at Baker Pasha's disposal ifl nearly hopeless.

Bravery of the Blacks,

. Twenty cavalrymen accompanied the Egyptian force. The total loss was GBO men. There were two European : ollicers with the force, and the whole was i under command of an Egyptian Major, j j The surviving officers say they were I I surrounded by 5,000 men. The Egyptians formed a square, the black troops being stationed on three faces and Bashi Bazouks on the fourth faco of the square. The latter fell back, throwing the black troops into disorder. The blacks fought with great bravery. One gun and all arms and ammunition were lost. In consequence of the disaster, the garrison at Suakin is re duced to 1,000 men. The blacks fought back to back in groups or pairs, some with clubbed muskets. Many rebels were killed. Another account says the light occurred on tho 2nd inst. Twenty-five men had re turned to Suakin by the 4th, including fifteen cavalrymen, two officers who ran all tho way with news of tho disaster, and ten wounded blacks. Dervishes aro appearing in Upper Egypt, who propose to preach a holy war. The whole country beyond Egypt proper is ablaze. Dissensions ln El Mahdi- Camp. New York, December 9.—A London special of the Bth instant says:—De spatches received at Cairo to-day attri bute tho failure of El Mahdi to con tinue his advance on Khartoum to the breaking out of dissensions among the heads of the various tribes marching under his banner. Some of these advocate an ad vance upon Dongola, while others prefer an attack on Khartoum. The two factions cannot agree on a plan of operation. The Mudir at Dongola reports to the Egyptian Covernment, moreover, that the defection of tho Kabbabbish tribes to El Mahdi, will inevitably occur if the latter's forceß con tinue their advances.

ANOTHER FENIAN EXECUTED.

Dublin, December 18.—Poole was hanged for the murder of John Kenny within the walls of Richmond prison at 8.5 o'clock this morning. Last night the sentries guarding the prison woe doubled, and an adequate force kept in reserve in case of emergency. Before six o'clock a few knots of men and women gathered outside the gaol walls. Later the numbersincreased until a crowdas sembled, women being largely in majority. Poole slept at intervals last night and arose about six. He had a light breakfast, and then busied himself in his devotions, read ing the " Key of Heaven" and the " Lives of the Saints" and praying. Aftor a short time he appeared re freshed, and seemed in fairly good spirits. He then proceeded with the attendants towards the chapel, situated in the centre of the prison, close to the cell just quitted. At the chapel he met Father Donegan. The trio knelt and prayed. Tho last sacrament was administered to the con demned man, In a few minutes the signal was given, and Father Done gan led the doomed] Fenian to the cor ridor, where Jones, an amateur executioner, fixed the straps pinioning his elbows. Twenty paces brought them to the prison yard, where the scaffold stood. The noose was thrown lightly over the beam. As Poolo walked to the place of death in tho dim of tho morning light, he appeared to better advantago than when seen in the dock, with his short, firm,*well-knit figure ereot, and his manly countenance pale but determined. On the scaffold the hangman guided Poole under the beam, placing the noose in position. Ho then moved to the lever, and in an instant the bolt was drawn and the victim disappeared. The rope jerked and shook violently, indicating a struggle beneath, but in a littlo while all was quiet, and the career of Joseph Poole was ended. The black flag was run up as soon as tho trap gave way, and tho watchful crowd outsido the walls gave vent to a wailing cry. Men murmured prayers, and the women crossed themselves, and some of the latter fell upon their knees.

Fire and Loss of Life.

Chicago, December I.—At half-past five this afternoon a firo was discovered in Farwell Block, the largest business building in the city, bounded by Adams, Market, Monroe-streets, ard the river. The great structure, however, is broken by heavy fire-walls running through it, but for which the entire building would have been swept away by the flames. The fire was confined to Nos. IGB and 170, Market-street, to the three lower floors, which were occupied by Met/.ler Bros., nation dealers, and the four upper floors by Beak and Butcher, furriers. The latter firm employs nearly two hundred girls, all but seven of whom had gone home when the fire was discovered. Those remain* ing in the building very soon became aware of the approach of the flames by the smoke seeking its way from the lower floors, where the firo originated. A panic ensued among the women, and their terror increased by discovering the main doorway leading to the lower floors, was locked and barred. They made their way back to the fifth floor,, and a number made their way along the window edges on the outsideof the building to a point Beyond the one protecting the firo- walls into an adjoining store. Two young women, Kitty Hilgert and Francis Fairweather, made their way to the fire es cape, but through terrorat viewing theflanies bursting from the building immediately be low, dropped to the stone sidewalk, and both were instantly killed. Great confu sion reigned in and about the building up to 9 o'elook, when a statement was made by those interested that all remaining em ployees had escaped from the structure, but as the upper floors wero filled with a dense column of smoke, and as the fireman had been unable to make a search fears were entertained that a further loss of life had occurred.

St. Jacob's Oil Invincible. (To tho Editor of Evening Star.) Dear Sir,-I wish to add my testimony to tho efficacy of the great German remedy, St. Jacob's Oil., lour columns have oontainod, from timo to time, expressions of gratitude from persons of known roapcotability, and having satisfied my self of the genuineness of tho cures effocted, I obtained a bottle, scarcely hoping it would suo ceod in relieving mo. For tho past seven months I have suffered severely from a pain ful attack o f sciatica, which, in spite oftho most able treatment on the part of my medi cal adviser, continued to hold' Its own in my system. My sleep a.t last began to bo affoctod, and my whole Kyafem, very muoh reduced. The mostcß,rof\\Hrcotmentfailodto glvome relief, and. I \hon applied nearly evory advortisod remedy, The aclatloa wns principally located in my left thigh, and the pain at times was most excruciating. In spite at the most thorough applications, and tho. aroat est caro and attention on my part, I ob tained no appreciable relief, and at last, as a forlorn hone, I dptermin,od to apply St. Jacobs Oil. .and from that tlrao the pain began to diminish. My sdeon aoon returned, and each application atfbrdod me relief. At first I re garded the cessation from pain as only a temporary one, scarcely daring to hope that the euro was complote: but I have gratefully to. acknowledge that I am now free from pain-in fact, a man again. I must confess that I tried tho Oil in abso lute dospair. I had had no sleep for throo or four nights previously, and my system was very low. ihe succeßa, ho wo vcr, is cqmnleto, and I again tender ray grateful aoknawledgnionts to the proprietors of the Q}l ( a«d shall over continue to recommend it to every suirerer who comes t™.™? WW cJ niy inflnenoo. What medical ski(l failed to do St. Jfaoob's Oil effected, and I vegard v as the greatost boon of tho age. I uui, dear Sir, Yours faithfully, John ixs, Ashbourno, Mudgee, NovombQy 12,1883. THE PAIN ENTIRELY LEFT. "Clßvenoo Cottage, '■'Thomas-street, Balmain, "21st August, 1883. "Publishers Evening Star, " Dnar Sirs,—About a fortnight ago I had a sevore attack of rhuematism in my back, which gave mo no ond of pain and trouble. I used St, Jacob's Oil, and in onq or two applications the pain entirely left Sirjco thon I have had occa sion to use tho Oil on a badly-sprained wrist, and its offeot was simply magical. My wife has used it for neuralgia in the head, with equally satisfactory results. I consider St. Jacob's Oil a valuable preparation, and shall not only use it in my own house, but shall reoom mend my friends to do so. "Yours truly, "W. p. Boom." IT CONQUERS BAIN.
