DILLON. AND, O'BRIEN MISSING. TippEBARY, Oct 10.

When the court was opened this morning to continue the hearing on the summonses against the police for assaulting the populace gathered In the vioinity of the courthouse on the occasion of the beginning of proceedings against Mossrs. Dillon and O'Brien, it was found that neither Mr. Dillon nor Mr. O'Brien was present Rumors are current that both gentlemen yesterday sailed from Queonstown for the United States. Both of tho Irish loaders were on Monday last at tho con ference of tbe Irish National party, held In Dublin, designated as members of the delegation to visit America and present tho political position in Ireland as it exists to-day.

They are also in structed to enlist the sympathy and aid of tbe American people in behalf of the famine-threatened Irish peasantry. As soon as the magistrates had taken their seats a demand was mado for the production of tho bodies of John Dillon and William O'Brien. Compliance with the demand being Impossible, the court ordered that their sureties come in and make good the amount of thoir bonds. Thereupon Mr. Healy arose and submit ted to the court that the sureties had fulfilled their obligations with the ap pearance before the bar on the first day of trial of Mr.

Dillon and Mr. O'Brien, Mr. Hoaly arguod that tho Crown hav ing, in certain particulars, amended the original charges against his clients, the bail could no longer be held as good. The magistrates decided that tho charges after amendment remained substantially as originally made. A certincate of non-appearance was then attached to tho bail bonds and the court adjourned to enable counsel for the Crown to consider what steps the prosecution would take in view of the complications created by the escapo of the prisoners.

There Is little, if any doubt that their objective point tho United States. It is known, however, that they have avoided the ordinary routes of travel botwoen the two countries, and up to the present hour absolutely nothing is known of the manner in Which-the4 two gentlemen succeeded in alluding the watchfulness of tho large police and military force gathered in and about Tipperarv. Bail in the case of both Mr. Dillon and Mr. Bnon will at once bo estreated, and already tho announcement is made on behalf of the Irish rsational League of its intention to recoup the sureties.

The escapo has excited great admira tion and enthusiasm in the ranks of tho Nationalists, both in England and Ireland, while the government is con fused by the readiness with which officers, cautioned to bo especially on the alort, have boen bookwinked.

Babe Barrows, the Outlaw, Shot by Alabama. Officer The Capture csT tbe Mated Desperado Followed by a Sensational Eseaps An Attempt to Kecover Money Ends to the Robber's Death.

Birmingham, Oct Eube Bur rows has been captured and killed in an effort to escape. No event that has happened in the history of Alabama has created a more general sensation than the capture and subsequent killing of the outlaw and bandit The startling story reads like fiction. The narration of his peaceable capture in a lonely cabin by two depu ties and two negroes, bow they carried him twelve miles across the country, strapped on a horse, to tbe Linden jail, and bow with watchful wit and undaunted nerve he watchod. through the long night conjuring up some scheme by which he might escape from his captors, though bound hand and foot, fills out a chapter in criminal history without a parallel. The particulars of his capture near Myrtlowood, a small village in tho southwestern portion ot Monroe County, Alabama, by Deputies John McDuffie and J.

C. Carter, and two negroes, late yesterday afternoon while resting temporarily in a lonely cabin, into which he had gone for shelter from a pelting rain, aro these: The negroes entered first, undor pretext of coming in for the same purpose. The outlaw seems never to have suspected them, but sat with his Winchester rifle leaning against the wall and his pistols by his side. Tbe negroes, seizing an opportunity, rushed upon the bandit and grappled with him. Being physicclly much stronger, they held him down while McDuffie and Carter rushed in and bound him with ropes and put handcuffs on bis wri3ts.

They then carried him twelve miles distant to Linden, where they arrived late last night aud placed him in the wooden jail. It was agreed that McDuffie and one of the negroes, John Marshall, should stay in the jail with the prisoner, still handcuffed and securely bound, until daylijrht while Carter and the other negro went off to get a brief nap before day. A short time before daylight this morning Burrows complained of being hungry and asked for something to cat McDuffie answered that he had nothing to give him. A satchel belonging to Burrows was lying in one corner of the room. "I have some crackers in my bag there, if you will hand it said the prisoner.

McDuffie handed tho bag to Burrows without opening it and JBurrows put his manacled hands inside for a moment and brought out two pistols, covered McDuffie and the negro and ordered them to untie him, which they did. Keenlnir the neero in front of him. Bur rows disarmed both men, unlocked tho front door and asked where Carter was with his money. When told he was at the hotel, ho ordered the negro to show him the way, remarking that he was going to have his money back or kill somebody. He locked McDuffie in the jail, and with the negro for a guide, went to Carter's room.

When captured yesterday one pistol was found on Burrows. Asked if he did not have another one he said he had sold his other one. It seems his captors, in the hurry of the trip, never once opened or examined his leather sachel, and this morning when he said he had some crackers in it and wanted to got some to eat McDuffie handed him the sachel without hesitation. He drow the pistols so quickly the guards woro taken completely by surprise ana untioa his feet and bands without a word. It was not daylight then, and he could have escaped if he had not gone in search of Carter to get his money.

Carter was in his room, but bad not retired. Burrows got tho drop and de manded the return of his monoy. As soon as he saw Carter reach for his pis tol he fired. The ball hit Carter in tha breast and passed through his right lung. Inflicting a wound wMch is sup posed to be fatal.

Carter fired as quick- lv as possible, and shot Burrows through the lower body. Burrows then turned and shot John Marshall, the negro, who had assisted In his capture, and was forced to guide him to Carter's room. Aftor that Burrows ran across the street with Carter in pursuit Several more shots wore flrod without effoct As Burrows roached tho opposite sido of tho street ho sank to the ground at tho cornor of tho court-house, and died in a few minutes without speaking a word.
