One OF the most extraordinary incl
dents that has yet occurred in connee-
tion with evietions took place in CASH
el on Monday last. At the last petty
sessions held in Cashel the represents
tives OF the late DR. Daniel Kyle pro-
ceeded against u weekly tenant named
Mr.. Frank Dwyer for possession of a
weekly tenement. situated in William
street, for non-payment OF rent.
The defense set up was that Mr.. Kyle
had left Dwyer the house. together
with coffin. which he kept beside him
in his room, but, Notwithstanding this
contention, the justices gave decree
for possession Before the eviction
Dwyer, better known as ..Franky
Doodle" made preparations on a
somewhat extended scale to barricade
the place.
On Monday morning the town bailiff
proceeded with party of police to
William street to carry out the order
OF the magistrates. The house. as
already stated, was bairicaded,
''Frankyn making his appearance at
one OF the windows, shouting:
You can't evict me out OF the coffin.

must put me out. coffin and ALL
After some further paFley on the
part of ''Franky'' and the police. he
agreed 20 give up possession. but only
on condition that he should be evicted
while in his colin. The key of the
door was then thrown down. and the
barricades being removed. the bailiffs
and the police, entering at once, pro-
ceeded To put "Franky" oat. whom
they found still lying in the coffin.
Owing. however, to the stairs being
so narrow they had TO put the coffin

The Widow sorrowful journey,

CHICAGO, August 15.-Mrs. Charles
Croker reached this city in a special
Car late last night. Her son, George
Croker, was here to meet her, having
come On from Utah. He was in
ignorance as to whether his mother
had received the news of her husbands
death. When the train entered the
depot he entered the car alone, a little
group of railway officials and friends
remaining outside. The widow had
not heard the news and the scene
between the mother and son was
touching in the extreme. After the
first shock, however, she bore up
bravely and insisted upon continuing
the journey. Little time was lost in
switching the car through the yards
and attaching it TO the Rock Island
train, and the mother and son de-
parted on the way to San Francisco,
after stay of not more than Is minutes.
From Ogden, where they strike the
road of the dead millionaire, they will
be sent forward on special train, and
will arrive at their destination some
time Saturday.

occurred on the desert in California, at
a point known as Horseshoe Curve.

claimed, were not in good working or

the curve. In consequence the car was
pulled OF. and breaking away from the

whom suffered injuries more or less

clerk, who was badly bruised, tried to
telegraphs to Albuquerque for assist
ance, and some of the wounded
passengers tried to send des-
patches to friends, but the railway
controlled the only wire, and positively
forbid the operator to send the mes
sages. Twelve hours after The accident
the passengers were picked up by a
special train. The passengers were
