IS NOT A SHAM PATRIOT
Ho Arouses His Irish Friend* of Cowardice
in Not Chastising MeVeaglt—He Would
Ho Iiill’erent Were He ill Their Place—
Ills Connection With the National Move-
ment— Denies ltelng A crested on a Crimi-
nal Charge.
New York. Oct. 24.—Hon. Patrick
Egan has written the following letter
for publication, which is self explan-
atory:
“New Y ork, Oct. 24.—Mr. Wayne
,McVeagh, Philadelphia, Sir: —I per-
ceive by the daily press that at a meeting
held in Cooper Union, under the
auspices of the Democrat club of New
York, a renegade from your party, as
yon are said to be from your people
and your creed, attempt to palliate
your apostaey by undertaking to do
that which the London Times, with
its manufactured testimony, chief
among which was the notorious Piggott,
failed to accomplish, to besmirch my
good name. With the adroitness of a
police court pettifogger you, uuder the
pretext of referring to something that
somebody else said, assail me.
First—As a “swindler” who “failed
to account for a very large trust fund
placed in his charge.”
Second, you say: “It was well
known at Washington when he was ap-
pointed what the charges were and
that he had fled the country to avoid
arrest aud trial on a serious criminal
charge.
Third, you describe me as a “sham
patriot and a fugitive from criminal
justice,” to which you are pleased to
add that you were “greatly surprised
aud disgusted to find such a man sel-
ected to represent the country in a
high diplomatic post;” that you not
only re asserted your statement, “that
my appointment was an insult to Chili,
but that you considered it also an in-
sult to every self respecting Irishman
in the United States.”
“I s all treat these course and cow-
ardly insults coming as the do from one
of the last stragglers of the retreating
know nothings, who found that there
is no place for them in the Republican
party, with the same contempt that I
have shown from all attacks made in
the English and Irish press, were it
not they were spoken at a meeting at
which figured as vice-presidents such
names as T F. Gileroy, Wm. R. Grace,
J. J. O’Donnoghue, John D.Grimmins,
John C. Sheehan and others, and that
it is reported that your words were re-
ceived with “loud cheering.
“I would neither be surprised nor
annoyed that you should launch out
into these ignorant calumnies, on the
contrary under ordinOry circumstances
I should feel greatly entertained, but I
am amazed aud pained to think that
the Gileroys, the Graces, the O’Don-
noghues, the Grimmius and the
Sheehans should have meanly sat in
Cooper Union and patiently listened to
you. I am convinced that in the en-
tire ranks of the Republican party
there could not be found a single man
who would make upon the character
of any Irish American so wanton, foul
and unfounded an attack as you have
made upon me, but if such a one could
have been found and he should under
similar circumstances assail in like
manner in my presence any of the gen-
tlemen I have named. I will say that
there would not be iu New York City a
hall large enough to coutaiu him aud
me. 1 would publicly bring him to
order and either he or I should leave
the building.
In your great desire to assail me you
have been found, 1 perceive, to fall
back entirely upon my connection
with the national movement Ire-
land. To the Irish race here and in
the old land my course of conduct in
that connection needs no vindication—
to my maligner on the other side <jf
the Atlantic I make no explanations.
In my entire connection with Irish af-
fairs there is not one single act that 1
would take back, not one (hat I have
to apologize for. For the information
of my American friends, who may not
be conversant with the matters to
which your slanderous attack refers,
I will say:
First—the “thd very large trust
fund” that you mention, aud in con-
nection with which you dare to apply
me the term “swindler” was the land
league fund which amounted to one
and a quarter million, of which, from
1879 to the end of 1882 I had the dis-
tinction of being the treasurer. Upon
resigning the position and turning over
to my successor the balance of the
fnnd. the auditors, Mr. Juo. Dillon, M.
P., Rev Engine and Sheney and Mr.
Mathen Harris M. P., in their joint re-
port, after stating particulars of the
accounts, said: We certify that
every item of said expenditure has
been satisfactorily vouched, and we
have the pleasure in bearing testimony
to the systematic and business like
manner in which the accounts and rec-
ords of said funds have been kept by
Mr. Egan.” In addition to the balance
of principal, I turned over to my suc-
cessors the sum of four thousand, four
hundred pounds and fifteen shillings
sterling, about $23,000, which I had
realized as interest and profits on in-
vestments while giving my whole time
for two years freely to the league.
Second, there never was a formal
charge made or a warrant issued
against me by the English government,
the only “criminal charges being those
made by the hostile press, based upon
the Piggot forgeries. Those “criminal
charges” were fully investigated by
the Parnell Times' committee in
1888 9 with the result that
Piggot confessed to the forger-
ies and committed suicide. An
accomplice of his the next day
wh-u he learned the fate of his pal,
dropped dead on the streets of London.
The attorney general of England, Sir
Richard Webster, as leading counsel
for the Times, on the 27th of February,
1889, withdrew and apologized for the
forgeries, aud the Times the next day,
in the course of a leading article, apol-
ogized lor the charge in the followiug
terms: Mr. Parnell having in the wit-
ness box stated that the letters attri-
buted to be from h m were forgeries we
accept in every respect the truth of
that statement. In these columns we
deem right to express our regret most
fully and sincerely, that we had been
induced to publish the letters in ques-
tion as Mr. Parnell’s, or to use them in
evidence against him. This expression
of regret, we need hardly say, includes
also the letters falsely attributed to
Mr. Egan, Mr.Davitt and Mr.O'Kelly.”
The London Times lost by this en-
tire transaction in damages and costs,
the enormous sum of two hundred and
sixteen thousand pounds sterling, (fl,-
100,000 ) Three mouths after, MacDon-
ald, the principal of the Times, died
from worrying and for two years the
“Thunderer” paid no dividend to its
stock holders.
Third—With regard to being a sham
patriot and a fugitive from justice, I
am fully content to leave the first part
of this charge to the judgment of my
Irish American fellow citizens aud to
the second part I plead guilty. Y’es, I
was at one time a fugitive from “crim
inal justice.” In the same way precisely
as were Thomas Addis, Emmett Rich-
ard MacNeviu, Richard O’Gorman,
Thomas Francis Meagher, John
Mitchell and so many others and I am
sincerely proud of having been so. It
will doubtless be news to you to learn
that very soon after my arrival in this
country, as a “fugitive from criminal
justice I was elected at a convention
held in Faneuel Hall, Bos-
ton, to the honorable pos-
ition ~ of President of the Irish
National League of America, which
organization during my term of two
years, sent to Ireland the sum of
$350,000 aud that from Ireland there
was forwarded to me in the United
States in 1883, a presentation of a cost-
ly service of silver, accompanied by a
flattering address signed by Charles
Stewart Parnell, Justin McCarthy,
Michael Davitt, John Dillon, William
O'Brien and lots of other leaders of the
Irish National party, and all this, too,
after I had “fled the country to avoid
arrest and trial on a very serious crim-
inal charge,” and had failed to account
for a very large trust fund placed iu
my charge.
Iu contradiction to those mugwump
opinions of you s, which was reported
to have been so loudly cheered by the
Democrats at Cooper Union permit me
in conclusion to quote for you the sen-
timents expressed by President Harri-
son upon the Irish love of native land
which you consider such a grave of-
fense against “criminal justice.” Iu
addressing a delegation of Irish^Ameri-
cans he said:
You are American, Irish American,
and though you have given the concen-
trated loyalty of your honest hearts to
the starry flag, and your adopted
country, you have not forgotten that
you ought not forget to venerate
the land of your birth. Yrou could
forget Ireland, if you could be
unmoved by splendid oratory until
sympathetic with her resources and
martyrs, I should fear that the bond
of your new citizenship would have no
power over hearts and consciences so
dead. Wtiat, if a sprig of green was
found upon the bloody breast of a
Union soldier, who laid dead on Mis-
sion Ridge. The flag he died for was his
flag and the green was only a memory
and an inspiration.”
Your obedient servant,
Patrick Egan.

Work Train on the Milwaukee and

Seriously Injured.
Philadelphia, Oct. 24.—The fast ex-
press train from Shamokin, ou the
Reading Railway, due here at 9:30
o'clock this morning, ran into a coal
train in the West Manayuok tunnel
and a frightful smashup resulted. A
number of persons are reported killed.
The cars caught Are and are now burn-
ing in the tunuel. The ill fated tr-iin
was known as Passenger No. 2, which
leaves Shamokiu at 5 a. m., Pottsville
at 7 a. m. and Reading an hour later,
and is due at the Broad Street station
of the Reading Company at 9:30 a.m.
The train is au express and makes but
few stops between Reading and this
city It was running ou the north
bound track, the south bound track
being in use between Oonshocken and
Westfalls for other traffic. The track
had been ordered clear for No. 2 and
that train was rushing south toward
Philadelphia when at a few minutes af-
ter 9 o’clock it crashed into engine No.
538 running north just north of the
West Manayunk tunnel. The first
report received here was to the effect
that the collision had met in the tun-
nel, but later imformation proved this
rumor to have been false. The engin-
eer of engine No 538 had been ordered
to lie at Pencoyd station, a short dis-
tance south of the scene of the acci
dent, and it was due to his disobedi-
ence of these orders that the accident
occurred. Had he remained at Pen
coyd a few minutes longer the loss of
nearly a dozen lives and the injuring
of nearly a soore of persons would have
been averted. Up to noon fifteen in-
jured persons had been removed to St.
Mary’s hospital at Roxboroug, a short
distance away. Ten dead bodies had
been taken charge of by undertakers
and this was reported to be the extent
of the casualties resulting from the dis-
obedience of his orders by the engineer
of No. 583. At I o’clock information
was received by President McLeod,
but five persons had been killed. The
killed are: Thomas Welsh, fireman of
engine attached to passenger train;
Jacob Kiirain, engineer of train No.
538. Three unknown persons, two of
them supposed to be mother aud
daughter named Smith from Phoenix-
ville. Amougthosa injured is a Miss
Sides. She has a leg broken and was
taken to the hospital.
