the interest siill centered in the Pigott cose.The Daily Neva» says the picture of the calamity is tragic iu the extreme.The frequency of accidents at bridges on American railways, suggest the need of more careful Anperviaioo, but in this case, it esyt, the accident seems no misnomer, as the disaster was due to no apparent negligence.ITALY.Roue, March 2\u2014To-day was the 79th anniversary of the,

with a revolver.He died instantly.His head was horribly disfigured.The telegram Pigott sent from Madrid On Thursday to Mr.Soames\u2019 office ia this city, was addreseed to Mr.Shannon, the Times' Dublin Solicitor.Mr.Soames at ooce notified the police of tbe whereabouts of Pigott.A despatch received from Madrid this afternoon, shows that tbemsn who committed suicide at the Hotel Des Ambassadeurs yesterday was Pigott.Hisi dentity has been fully itablished by the officials of tbe British Embassy.Ou Thursday an interpreter showed Pigott tbs tights of Madrid.On that day Pigott sent a telegram addressed \u201cPonsonby\u201d to the office in London of Mr.Soames, the Times' Solicitor.Tbe telegram announced his safe arrival in Madrid and gave bis address.It ia inferred that ths English Government learned from this telegram that Pigott was in Madrid.It is reported that a note bcok containing the addresses of a number of persons in Ireland, was found on the body.Pigott\u2019a

telegraph.The chtgriiAf the Parnellites over Pigott\u2019a suicide is intense.Parnell himself, who is not vindictive, ooly regrets his death as limiting the obance of unearthing the conspiracy.Besides Pigott\u2019a check book, a letter addressed to Mr.Libonohere and a license to carry arms in Ireland were fonnd on his body.The letter addressed to Mr.Laboachere fonnd on Pigott, says ths first batch

with blood.Tbe ballet entered the mouth and came out at the back of the head near the neck on the right side.The body will be photographed to-morrow, and will be buried on Tueiday after it has been identified by a B itish detective.The B'itish Embassy at Madrid has given ordeif for a decent burial Pigott\u2019a suicide at Madrid overshadows all else.Astonishment is expressed that such a caitiff had the conrage to commit suicide, but the alternative was penal servitude for life In the last two years Pigott spent more than a thousand pounds a year in debauchery.Sir Charles Russell pronounces Çigott the worst man he ever knew after Carey.When Pigott entered the witness box, Mr.Davitt exclaimed, \u201cNow the fat old rat is cangbt in the trap at last.\u201d Bis suicide will help Home Rule.The Tories who accuse 1 Mr.Labouchere of bribing Pigott to fly oancot say he bribed him to commit suicide.Rad Pigott died of heart disease in the witness box he would have recalled Ananias and Sapphire Hi* saicide recalls Judas Iscariot.Sir Wilfred Lawson says Ananias was a child in lying to Pigott.Mr.Labou chare declares that the \u201cBabes in the Wood\u201d were Solomons to tbe manager of the Times.A friend visited Pigott\u2019a house in K-ugstown this week and found all his business Istters in neat order.All com promising letters had been burned.Pigott\u2019s relatives say Houston tempted him.Mr*.Pigott\u2019a corpse was uuburUd because of their poverty when temptation offered a higher price for the documents.In court, there was curious sympathy with Pigott.Mr.Bryce, the historian, said bethought twenty years of a blackmailing life was a pathetic and hornble spectacle A popular song is now being sang in the Mas\u2019c Hall, and tbe chorus is enthusiastically received : \u201cWhere, where, oh ! where, is this little pig gone, Aod where, oh 1 where, can he be ?Ob I why did he trot, and sooop all the lot, And leave the poor Times op a tree.\u201d Maprid, March

disappeared, Pigott left Lower Abbey street, and United Ireland and William O\u2019Brien started in the old honse.Pigott begged hard to stay, but bis character even then was suchthat the Irish leader conld not venture to retain him, even as a despatch clerk.He then went beneath the surface, and people were glad he bad gone.Once out of public view be little thought of, save now and then

overflowing with mischief, he sought the oolumta of the Tory press as e mud-throwing medium.He wrote against everybody and everything connected in the past and the present with tbe politics of his

Irish JudM, is still another example of bow men may fall from the topmost rung of the ladder of respectability into the lowest depths of degradation.His fall, iudeel, has bien great.He was ouoe a respected member of Dublin society and moved in the ranks of Irish Nation alista an honored man.An honored mao he might have remained had he not allowed bis ability for double dealing to lure him into the shadow of Dublin Castle, in which ths good-nets of heart of so many Irishmen before him bad been destroyed.Early in life Richard Pigott made his way into the ranks of Dublin journalists and a quarter of a century ago he had in bis hands two of the boldest of the advanced journals, the Irishman and the flag oj Irt'and.Hs owned besides a weekly paper devoted to literature, which was a welcome guest ia every Irish homestead and which still survives his disgrace.Tbe Iriehmanaod the/Vay o/ Ireland were as much the advocates of revolution as was the Irish People, tbe offi dal organ of the I.R.B, Pigott was one of the marked men of the Government of the day.Richard Pigott and the Irishman were really big factors in Irish politics.When Allan, Larken aud O\u2019Brien were executed at Manchester in 1867, no one made a greater outcry than Pigott, but even then he was dropping into shady walks of life.He had begun to lose his bolJ, aod soaroity of money licked with a deeire for its possession, did the work, He was undoubtedly clever and an able writer, but full of ambitions which could not be satisfied, as he desired them, by bounds, and so he beoame a disappointed man and crank Had he been made of better moral stuff ho ooold have easily, with his ability, woo a good position in the field of journalism.As it was he allowed himself to drift.Tnings went from bad to worse, and at length the Flag of Ireland ceased to be published.Stories told of a not very creditable character got abroad, and Richard Pigott no longer stood on tbe old pedestal.He sank in the estirrra-tioa of the publia, and the men in tbe forefront look on him with suspicion.For some years he was indeed regarded as a dangerous man, and writings of his in the newspapers clearly indicated tne growing traitor spirit.Tne Irishman, too, had evidently had its day, although it managed to drag on a wretened existence.Tnroughoat the Butt Home-Rule muVement Pigott cut a small figure, and by the time youug Parnell appear* 1 above the horizon Pigott\u2019a star had set.He becama a nuisance, a elog that ould not be tolerated, and, besides, it was strongly suspected that Buglishgoldwould tempt him up the backstairs of the Castle.Ismo Butt bad bees laid wjth (Ibis Engraving represents tbe Lungs ia s healthy slat*) THE REMEDY FOR CUBING CONSUMPTION, COUGHS, COLDS, ASTHMA, CROUP, All Diseases of the
