reply t. 1t, and would guarantee Mr..
Parnell quiet hearing. Redmond bore
the message to Parnell, who instantly
replied:
II am not IN position to treat. l am
only in position to fight"
The Parnellites cheered their ap-
pr0val. MIR. Parnell afterwards spoke
to small meeting. He said that he
valued them not by their numbers, but
by their quality. He was accustomed to
face crowd of ignorant fools; he pre-
ferred a crowd of patriotic Irishmen.
He was not afraid of being in the min
ority, but he knew that when the
Voice of Kilkenny
spoke, she would not be in the minority.
He did not wish to assail men that had
stood by his side many long day. but
he was not going to ask permission to
speak from cock-sparrow like Tanner
or jackdaw like Davitt. While
other Parnellites were addressing the
crowd number of Dayitt's fol-
lowers got together and began hoot-
ing at the speakers. The Parnellites
closed around the carriage from which
their orators were addressing the people,
the police appeared and tried to divide
the factions. The meeting ended in
scene of wild confusion, and Parnell
and his friends drove off amid shower
of stones and mud. Frequent attempts
to assail the members of the party were
made, and several bags filled with lime
were thrown at them. Mr.. Harring
toms shoulders were covered with lime.
and mass of lime struck Mr.. Parnell
full in the face, completely binding
him. This insult infurlated Mr.. Par
nelPs friends. Mr.. Harrington turned,
and, advancing towards Father Downey,
who was at the head of Mr. Parnell'S
opponents, shouted:
Coward, you are disgrace to your
church?'
Attended by Doctors.
The police here again interfered. and
Mr.. ParnelPs party, who had left their
cars, again took their seats and finally
got away on to the road. Mr.. Parnell's
eyes, which were quite closed, were in
tensely painful. He was soon obliged
to stop his carriage, which he left and
entered labOrer'S cabin in fainting
condition. A local doctor attended him.
The lime had become caked beneath his
eyelidS, and the doctor was only able to
remove some of it by using a silk hand
kerchief and some hair oil he found in
the cabin. The physician finally adj
ViSed MI. Parnell to drive Immediately
his carriage and proceeded on his jour
ney. But the pain again became so in
tense that second halt was made,
this time at roadside public
house. where the doctor made further
efforts to relieve the terrible pain
which Mr.. Parnell was suffering. The
doctor was able at this place to procure
quantity of castor Oil, which he
poured freely into Mr.. Parnell's eyes.
He then tried to scrape off some of the
lime, using for this purpose the point
of an ordinary lead pencil. The lime,
however, had become cruSted inside
the eyelids aud the doctor, with the
crude implements at hand, was only
able to remove the torturing substance
slowly and with much difficulty. The
doctor apologized to Mr.. Parnell for
causing him so much pain, but said it
was unavoidable. Mr.. Parnell replied:
Never mind the pain. Do your best.
Don't let me lose my sight" The doctor
poured more oil into Mr.. Pdrneli's seyess
and said lie hoped the case was not as
bad as that, Finding that he was un-
able to remove all the lime, the doctor
urged Mr.. Parnell to drive with ali
speed to the town, and this was done.
Arriving at the Victoria hotel, Mr.. Par
nell had to be led from the wagonette to
his room. He reclined in an army chair
apparently signtless and suffering the
most intense agony. He still remains
in the hands of his doctor. Surgeon
Hackett, who attended Mr.. Parnell
along the road. stated at late hour to-
night. that all the lime had been re-
moved, but that the patient was still
suffering intensely. He said that he
did not anticipate, from present appear
ances, permanent injury to Mr.. Par
nell's sight.
At late hour tonight the physician
in attendance said that Mr.. Parnell was
better, and wonld be able to go out to-
morrow.
