No 1 Ney in Dublin and a Fenian adventure tale
A first person narrative recounts meeting Miss Elen Maguire, a self described anarchist, and a plan involving potheen and a nitroglycerin bomb aimed at the crown procession. After delivering a heavy bag to York Street, a police inquiry leads to arrest threats and a comical yet chilling examination, revealing the bag contained a weapon. The tale links to detective Phallon and the infamous No. 1L, with hints of later notoriety surrounding the conspirators.

Four Dollar Gold Piece Reported in Cincinnati
A curious four dollar gold piece appeared at the Sub-Treasury in Cincinnati. Bank staff and experts doubted any government coin of this denomination exists. Weighing about 108 2 10 grains, the piece fetched extra value, but officials declined to accept it at face value. The coin’s inscription mirrors U S mottoes and symbols, with Liberty’s head on the obverse and a starry field on the other side.
