SSf.—A magnificent story of daring and skill has come to the Washington office otthtf life saving servioa. The story is in meager scraps of the driest kind, but inthete routine statements there 1* the basis . of a thrilling It is a tale of shipwreck and saving of life under peculiarly difficult circnmstaneee, one of the greatest feats evgr, performed by any life saving crew in the service of the government. Several days ago two propellers were wrecked sff the port of Marquette, in Lake Superior, [n a savage storm they were driven on the rocks, ovdr which the breakers pounded furiously. There were no passengers on board, but they were manned by a crew of twelve menetich. They were making their last trips for the season. The vessels were wrecked early in the day. There are no lifesaving stations at Marquette, the nearest be ing Portage City, 110 miles away. The storm was one of the bleakest and coldest, equaling in lowness of temperature some of the most bitter in midwinter. The water of this lake is extremely cold even in midsummer. The people of Marquette turned out in great excitement when they saw these vessels driven upon the rocks within three miles of #he town. The propellers did not break up at once after they had become lodged, but fremUie fury of the waves and. the storm' it wife evident could last bat a short time. . The citizens made frantic endeavors to go to. the rescue of the two eriws,'tftlo appealed to them through signals of distress. But tfcere was' no boat at Marquette in the waves than ' After a number of efforts to communicats with the wrecked vessels, the people despaired of reaching them and stood watching,'' expecting every moment t that thsy . would give way. . The president of theMar-' quette, - Ontonagon and Portage City railroad, which runs between Marquette and " Portage City, came to the rescue at tha last moment, dashed to the telegraph office and notified Portage City to clear the track of all trains. Then ha called for tha superintendent of the life saving station at that point He said to him; \ I place at your disposal a locomotive and a, car for your lifeboat. The track to clear ahead of yon. Coma on as soon as yon aim get your men and boat ready. Twenty-ftmr lives are hanging upon the promptness of your action. The superintendent was as energetle and plucky a man aa is known to the survioe. The pair at horses belonging to the station w«i*: quickly haraessed to the wagon Mhd the lifehqat, placed thereon. The crew then entered tha boat and it was desperately driven»to the railroad station. In ths ; briefest possible time a boxcar was run down t'to' the station and the lifeboat 'anil the crew were placed upon it The engineer, wtoo had received another dispatch from tha president of the road by this time to hurry to tha full top of his speed, pulled the throttle of .the engine wide open and the special train dashed away -am its errand of iheroy at a frightful speed. There la no reoard to the office of. the time made by this fart flying train, beyond the fact that it was the swiftest ever made by ia life saving crewfl-om any station to a distant point It to also the longest distance aver traveled by such a Crew for such a purpose. The story ends abruptly In a brief chapter which tellsr that the crew arrived at Marquette before the vessels had given way, and that the captain aiid his crew saved every one of the twenty-four men. who bad given up absolutely all hope, and would have been drowned within the next hour if it had not been for the action of the railroad president and the skill and courage of tha  case, as I had hoped all wouWk have been settled amicably and not furthfef exposed to public criticism.

For a number of years tie game of football, *s played by. college men in this oountry, has been getting mora and man into disrepute. The brutality of the one played on the Polo grounds two years ago was a revelation to many, and a protest went up against it from the entire public press. Messrs. Dilkm and O'Brien attended a meeting'oi Lord Dillon's tenants and. urged them firmly to resist all attempts to compel them to pay unjust rents. JSIr. Dillon had arranged to speak at other meetings, and it is expected that he win continue to fill. aU his engagements before he returns to Dublin. On his return he will probably give ball for trial, and thus compel the government to prove the illegality of his action at the Longford and Murroe meetings. , . ■ Sir Miohael Hicks-Beach, chief secretary for Ireland, has been busily engaged all day at Dublin castle conferring with the legal and military anUtorftiea The city is agitated by rumors of "the wHdest character relating to the government's intentions. A great meeting of Nationalists called to assemble in tha suburb Irish town on Sunday will, Hi to thought, be prohibited. The Irish Times, Conservative, says the government has resolved to promptly suppress fit anti-rent and other illegal combinations; to curtail the license of the press; to forcibly suppress intimidation; to enforce the laws governing the process for the collection of debts; to.proclaim all meetings called for certain purposes; and to arrest certain prominent agitators of the anti-rant policy. Tha Times also says it is reported that troops have been sent to the different points in the country where action against the anti-rent agitation is imminent.G TO MAKE A MAYOR.

Charges were freely made that friends of O'Brien had packed the convention in ,9u interest. The convention degenerated into pandemonium, and finally broke Op in disorder after McNeil had been nominated by acclamation, althodgh the nays were nearly as numeroas as the yeas. Mr. McNeil did not aooept tbe nomination, neither did he read his letter of principles according to the announcement The advocates of the game, however, insisted that there is nothing brutal in it; that the incidental collisions are only such as mollicoddles and milksops would wish to avoid, and that no bad feeling was engendered on either side by the sport. This last game is a pretty complete answer to all this. Though Wilson was ready to give point* on the past trials, his future movements ha kept: closely to himself. For Coast Defenses.

St. Loins, Nov. ?7.—Mr. Jehu Baker, who is to succeed William H, Morrison in congress, has made an assanlt in the postoffice at Belleville on J. M.

Beach lnallv succeeded in getting hold of tha cane and took it away, but directly afterwards ix' turned it to him, saying that ha respected . the old gentleman too much to harm him or even* deprive him at the use of His cane. Mr. Baker was very abusive of Beach and of the paper he represented, and charged him with being toe author of all the articles published against hit* during and since the campaign, by not only The Missouri Republican, but The Chicago Times and The Chicago News as well. The postmaster, Mr. Engelmann, ordered them both out of the postoffice. Beach immediately left, but Baker stormed about in a fearful  and the poH(*eT)nd to be sent for. A couple of officers Boon arrived on the scene, and the old gentleman was then persuaded by his friends to leave. No arrest was mads, but tho trouble drew an immense crowd and created much excitement. L The reporter of The Times goes more into tho particular*. After mentioning the two dlffl ulties quoted above, ha continues: The "slugging" in this half of the game Ws reckless. A person standing two-thirds of the length of the ground away from the playara could hear the spat, spat of flats on faces constantly. One Princeton map on tha rush line threw down the man 9ppo6ite him and deliberately tried to kick him on the bead. Fortunately the Yale man dodged, or the Princeton man might to-day have been In jail. 'Jumping with both knees on a man's face appeared to be a favorite amusement among the players, and frequently men stopped to kick one another's shins when the ball was in another part of the field. Wat-. kinson, of Yate, got his finger broken daring this half, but refused to atop playing.
