The Railway Strike-It is just month
since the present dispute between the
directorate Of the Great Southern g.
Western Railway Company and their
milesmen began, and the position then
assumed by the employees and their en-
ployers remains still unchanged. Sat
urday was another black day in The his
tory of the lam9ntable business, and
somehow the iurther we go the more
distant appears the day Of reconcilia-
tion, and the wider grows the gulf that
divides the men and their masters. The
trains on Saturday ran both WAYS as
usual, and we learn that the advertised
times were in all cases kept, but the
passengers were very lew, and the alb.
sence OF ladies was most noticeable.
Should the weather now break it is
stated the permanent way will at places
require even closer looking after than it
has been subj cted to during the past
four weeks. At present the roadway il
almost as hard as the rails themselves,
and rain will have the effect OF consider
ably softening it. This might tend TO
displace the sleepers, and their moving
would loosen the rail pins. We under.
stand that from all stations frequent re. |
ports are forwarded to headquarters OF
the condition of the permanent way,
with the view OF enabling special staff
to proceed from Dublin at a m0menps
notice should the repairs be of an ex-
tensiVe character. No accident of even
the slightest nature was reported, and
there is ample information to hand of
the statement that at the scene of the
recent accident many milesmen worked
hard TO clear the road and to estore
the traffic. In the Tullam)re district
the men on strike have been able to sup
port themselves by hiring as farm LABOR
ers, but now that the harvest is nearly
over many OF them are disengaged. The |
trains arrive over half all hour late, and |
traders are suffering serious incon- |
venience since the strike commenced. |
The traffic on the canal has increased |
considerably, owing to the want of |
facilities for the carriage of goods by |
rail.
Beaten to Death-A police-constable |
named Timothy Hayes was beaten to |
death on Saturday night while endeaYor-
ing to arrest some navYies who were
creating a dis .urbance at Rathnagan
Drainage Works, G -Anty X .ldare.

Mccarthy, rector OF st. Werburxhs, in
Dublin, died suddenly, it is supposed of

A Publican Lord Mayor-The Lord
Mayor OF Dublin is the owner OF a hotel
in Nassau street, and also public
house in a lane beside it. In View of his
reelection TO the civic chair, and posi-
bly, becoming a deputy y-lieutenant, lie de-
sired TO transfer the latter to female
relative, whose application for the
transfer of the license came before the
Recorder few days ago. IL was earn
estly opposed by Dean Dickins on, but
granted on condition that the LORD
Mayor should be personally responsible
Tor the good conduct of the house.
Mr.. Gladstone's Visit-There is now F.;
20 further doubt about tue fact of Mr,
visit to Ireland. He is going
here, but the visit, he announces in re-
ply to letter from gentleman In Dub
n,Will be purely personal and private
,ne. 1t Is his rule to decline all share in t
public celebrations except in cases in !
which ne has local OF special conneo-
ion, anu he. does not think Ireland in it's
PRESENT state would have any reason 20 9
hank him for departing from that rule. o
ilr. Gladstone will not, however, it
seems, as Was stated, be the guest of
Mr.. Mitchell Henry. This gentleman
las written to say that he has not asked
Mr.. Gladstone to visit him. Mr.. Henry !
,e!ieVs Mr. Gladstone to be the best
riend Ireland has amongst English n
statesmen, but laments his "ecclesias-
lea" prejudices, and the manner in
which he has expressed them.
