RING EOHBA AND HIS WIFE
They Have Not Quarreled
A communication from Rome says : " The
:tritement which has appeared in some of the.
Paris journals that a, serious quarrel hadlaken
place between the Ex-King and Queen of
of Naples prior to Her Majesty departing for
Vienna, is without the slightest foundation.
The Queen, in great grief at the loss of her
child, was induced to anticipate; by several
weeks her intended visit to Austria; and the
King, as you are aware, has since rejoined Her
Majesty, having been unable_ to complete
sooner his arrangement for leaving Rome.
Such are the .simple fadts of the case, and it is
difficult to imagine how they could-have been
so-cruelly - distorted:" -, ••

Later and Fuller Details
Three Fenian Killed and Several Wounded
ON THE FENIAN BATTLEF,IELD, NEAR
COOK'S CORNERS, ST. ARMAND, C. E., May
25, 10 P. M.—The onward march from
St. .Albans was commenced in column
of fours, General O'Neill, mounted
on a small red horse, placing himself
in front, flanked by a body-guard of four men
on foot on each side. Their countenances
wore a serious aspect, although there were a
few who laughed and joked as they passed
along. Still it was evident that even they
realized the danger 'of their mission. Slowly
and sadly moved the two hundred, following
the highway until within twenty rods of
the line, General O'Neill espied the red coats
of the Canadian volunteers and ordered a halt.
-This-was-eflected-bide-atrold-brick-honse-orr
the left side of the road and on the side of a
i.parisely wooded hill. Farther along on the
road at a distance of fifty feet were two
barns facing each other and flanked on both
sides by a stone wall. A long pile of hemlock
bark stretched itself along, Just opposite the
house, and served as a convenient ambush for
the attacking Fenians.
Beyond the barns above spoken of the road
passes across a bridge and is entirely unpro
tected. The position can perhaps be under
, rood by comparing it to the arc of a circle,
placing the Fenian soldiers at the bottom and
the Canadians at the top of the curve..
Addresses to trio Hills.
After the bait Gen. O'Neill faced - a.bout on
its horse and addressed his countrymen as
flows :
,soldiers—This is the advance guard of the
Irit•h-American army for, the liberation Of
Ireland from the yoke of the oppressor. For
our own country you now enter that of the
enemy. The eyes of your countrymen are
upon you. Forward, march !
Colonel Brown, who commanded the skirni.
to the men. The advance company was - from —
I turlington, andvas commanded by Captain
William Cronan, of that city. At the conclu
-ion of General O'Neill's address he lifted his
hat and replied _
- General— am proTid - that - VertrYcifit ha - sthe
honor of leading this advance. Irelanll may
depend upon us to pur duty.
The right.
Until this time the main body of the Fenian
forces bad been hidden from the vie* of the
other side, hut as they slowly defiled past the•
dividing line between the-two-countritheir
numbers and extent became visible. The
volunteers waited until the last of their an
tagonists had set foot on British soil ? and_ then
crack, crack, crack,-came- volley-atter- volley
of niiieketry,into their ranks. The-battle—had—
begun. do unex.pected was this attack that
the Fenians became panic-stricken and scat
tered like wildfire behind - the walls and fences
and nto the barns, behind .the bark pile, and
'anywhere that shelter conld - be - obtained from
din_eath-dealing missiles that were beng
showered upon them.
The Casualties.
Two men—John Rowe, of Burlington, and
. another whose name I have
_been unable to
at,cerfaiii--Ildroppeddelifi diffirigthis discharge
;and were-left upon the field.
Lieut. Edward Hope, of Bridgeport, was
hot through the thigh, and the' Captain of a
Long Island company sustainedn flesh wound
in his arm. Several minor casualties were
bittained.
Gen. O'Neill Wants to Die
Gen. O'Neill,whobad been concealed behind
the house,rushed forth with drawn sword and
shouted to his scattering soldiers. Gaining an
audience be said :
3Je,, of Inland : lam ashamed of you. You
ave_acted._ disgracefully_;_but_you_bave_a t -
other , chance of showing whether you are
cravens or not. Comrade», I will. lead you
again, and if you will not follow, me I will
go with my officers and die in your front. I
Icave you now under command of Boyle and
Skirmishing was then recommenced, and
continued for about one hour whenGen.O'Neill
drew back his forces from the ' brow of the hill
for the purpose of rest.
He was then approached by several of his
t dicers, who requested permission to charge
the bill, but. bearing in mind the unlucky re
, ult of a similar operation at Fredericksburg
during the rebellion, he refused. Yielding
partially, however, to their wishes,he ordered
them to charge across the open valley, and
take a position on the wooded hill directly op
posite the Canadian forces. The movement
was executed in double quick, but while
climbing the hill private Thos. Murray, of
Poitland, Me., fell shot through the heart,and
Francis Caraher ? of Bridgeport, Conn., re
ceived a wound in thegroin. Murray lies now
on the bill-side, but Caraher was conveyed to
Ihe Franklin House in Franklin, where he
cow lies in a 'room opposite to that of Lieu
tenant Hope, his townsman and fellow suf,
ferer.
The Arrest,.
Te General, in company with Boyle
O'Reilly walked down the side of the hill and
entered the parlor of the brick house, en
countering General George Foster, who, with
his deputy Thomas Farley, of St. Albans, was
seated in the parlor. Re reached out his hand,
hut the greeting was refused, and General
Foster, placing his hand onO'Neill's shoulder,
said " I arrest you, by virtue of my authority
its a District Marshal ofhhe United States.".
" Sir," . exclaimed General O'Neill, starting
back as ho spoke,'" I shall resist your arrest."
"It will be useless, sir," replied General
Foster.
" But, sir, I am armed."
"So am I," Said.the General. "John, open
that carriage door. Now, Mr. O'Neill, get in,
or I will throw you in. I am going to take
you'to St. Albans, right through the midst of
your men, and if you make theslightest outcry
T will shoot you dead."
Resistance was useless, as the General had
aid, and O'Neill placed himself in the car
riage and was driven to St. Albans. "
In Durance Vile.
An hour later he was taken before the
- United States Commissioner, Jacob M.
Smalley, on a charge of violation of the neu
trality laws, aud, in default of $20,000 bail, was
lodged in jail at Burlington. .
:Attlu3 Frout.
The fighting after this arrest, with the ex ,
ception of an occasional shot or two, was not
renewed. • Some of the Fenians took up their
homeward march, but the great majority re
turned suddenly to their eld camping ground,
where they were joined by 150 recruits, who
had just arrived under the command of ajor
Moore, of New York 2 and now assert their in
tention to renew their attack in the Morning.
Notes. and Comdkents

and Canada roads up to this morning is va:
riow 1y e.tiinated at from 600 to 800. The little
steamer CurfV - Iffrided two companies of _th
organized Fenian troops at St. Albans bay
yesterday, who at once proceeded north to
Swanton.
Four companies of infantry and one of
cavalry are concentrated at St. Armand. The
latter, however, are destitute of horses.
A member of the Masonville company at
that place deserted, but was subsequently
captured, though not till after ho had been
wounded by a shot fired by one of his pursuers.
One of the soldiers, on his arrival at St.
Armand, was heard to say: " Weil, here we
are at last ; but if the Fenians come we will
run like the devil. I know I shall."
This indicates the quality of the courage
possessed by the volunteers.

Marvelous Eveape from a Height of
Seventy-Five Feet.
At the great fire in St. Paul last Thursday,
two brothers,named Carl and August Mueller,
who bad a room in Concert Hall building,
were cut off from escape by the rapid progress
of the lames and smoke. They appeared at
an upper story window, seventy-five or
eighty feet from the ground. The St.. Paul

"The two brothers appeared to heSitate,
when they appeared at the window, and some
of the.spectators cried out to them to jump.
The youngest was let out of the window first,
the oldest brother holding him by the hand,
troth being apparently unwilling to part com
pany in that trying moment. Finally the sus
];ended man was drawn hack into the build
ing, as though determined to remain instead
of taking the horrible risk of such a dreadful
ap. An instant after, however, a human form
.uddenly came through the Window, and for
a second was suspended in mid-air. The hor
i iiied spectators shuddered and turned away
their eyes. A dull thud was heard, and the
mangled form of one of the brothers rolled ap
parently lifeless down the steep declivity
twenty-five or thirty feet beyond where it
first struck, where he lay motionless AO
groaning. The second brother followed im
mediately after, and for the second time,
within a moment almost, the speechless spec
tators witnessed the terrible leap. Both the
arothers wertvareftilly picked - up and laid
,:pin beds which were quickly brought, and'
:Iterwards placed beneath the grateful shade
of a tree that was near by.

Atthe dinner given' by their Majesties the
day before yesterday to the executive mem

The Movement Broken Up---The First
Batt and Wounded.
ST ALBANS, May 2B.—The Fenian bubble,
as far as the movement in this direction is
concerned, has burst. Soon after the arrest
of General O'Neill the Fenian officers held a
long council of war and decided that it was
useless for them with the small number of
Wren at their command to make any further
attempts at invading Canadian soil.
The roads leading from here to Franklin are
lined with returning Femans. There is not a
Fenian now in Franklin. Guns, ammunition
and blankets are scattered about in
. great
abundance. The rank and tile complain bit
terly of their officers, saying that they don't
understand their business. IThe point chosen
for crossing was a most Unfavorable one, as
the enemy were entrenched behind rocks.
Half a mile distant there was an open field.
An aide of Gen. O'Neill says a thousand men
could not have driven the Canadians from
their position. The Feniaus for the most part
became sadly demoralized. At the first volley
of Canadian musketry three Fonians were.
limed and ten or fifteen wounded.
It is not known whether there was any Ca
nadians loss. • Gen. Donnelly; in attempting to
escape from Riehard•S house, was wounded in
the leg, but not seriously. He was expected in
St. Albans to-day.
