EVICTION EXCITEMENT.
New YORK, June IA London cable
gram thus tells of the origin and progress
of the agrarian riot at Clonmel, County
Tipperary, Ireland When Goddard, agent
of the emergency committee, was leaving
court he was received with groans and his
ses A priest was passing out of the
building, when the crowd made a rush to
enter A policeman in the confusion laid
hand ON the priests arm. At once the
cry went up that Father Maker had been
arrested. The crowd became fearfully
cited and the authorities at once concen-
trated the whole force of the military and
constabulary before the court house.
Bottles, stones and brick bats poured in on
the police and soldiers. Capt. Stack, resi-
dent magistrate, threatened to read the
riot act and at that moment policeman
was knocked senseless at his side. Capt.
Slack produced the act and several priests
implored him not to read it, as if he did
the consequences would be terrible.
The stone throwing did not cease
and as Capt. Slack, after read
ing the riot act pronounced the
words God Save the Queen" stone
smashed the skull of another policeman
standing beside him. The unfortunate
man died last evening. The police charged
at the people with fixed bayotets, and at
the same time the cavalry dashed in among
the crowd A scene of frightful confusion
followed. The charge of the cavalry down
the short street was so impetuous that sew
eral horses and riders dashed through the
show windows at the end of the street. The
air was filed with stones and bricks and
the frightened shopkeepers, who were en-
deavoring to put up their shutters, were
hurled to the ground and ridden over.
Several hussars were unhorsed by the crowd
and trampled on by the horses of their
comrades coming behind them. The
charges through the streets lasted fully half
an hour A portion of the crowd fed,
while others, undismayed, faced the charg-
ing horsemen and battered in their helmets
with stones. The hussars used the fiat of
their swords freely, the point and edge
being strictly forbidden them. One
hussar in charging around corner met
with serious mishap. His horse
stumbled and fell and five or six of his
comrades following swiftly fell over the
PROSTATE horse and rider. Before the
men could recover themselves their
horses had galloped up the street and the
men had to defend themselves from the
mob until they were rescued. Owing to
the exertions of the priests, several of
whom received many hard knocks, the peo-
pie were induced finally to disperse.
A soldier of the Forty-eighth regiment
was so seriously injured that his life is de-
SPARED of. The doctor states that the
man, if he recovers, viii be insane. About
thirty citizens were seriously wounded.
A report has reached Limerick that
three policemen were killed during the
eviction riots in county Glare.
The rioting in Clonmel has been resum
ed. The police and soldiers charged the
mob, and many people were wounded. The
troops finally cleared the streets.
During the service of eviction vrits on
the islands around the coast of Donegal by

itants attacked and destroyed the Cos
hawks small boats; the gunboat opened
fire on them, but with what result il not
