 stration to be Held at New Tipperary. KILKENNY, Dec. 18.-The contest for members of Parliament is overshadowinR all other interests. The influence of the priests is the strongest element Mir. Par, nell has to fight. Father O'Halloran ore. vailed on the League to pass an anti-Par. nellite resolution, and got the corporation to rescind their vote of confidence But the vote of the city is not sufficient to defeat Mir. Parnell's candidate. The country districts are strongly in his favor. Sir John Pope Hennessey is now here, and six anti-Parnellite meetings are to be held tomorrow. Davitt will attend one and Sexton and Healy will address the others.
 Parnell's journey to this city was with out incident till the train reached Athay. Here 8 crowd had gathered which hooted and groaned at MT. Parnell. They shouted "To h-l with Parnell l" gave cheers for the bishop and shouted "Lon0 live Dillon and O'Brien P At the other stations passed there were knots of peo- pie who cheered MT. Parnell.
 Kilkenny was reached at o'clock last night. 4 torchllghT procession, headed by the corporation officials, was in wait- ing, and upon the arrival of the train es- corted MT. PRrnell to his hotel, where he he addressed the crowd briefly, pleading the weakness of his voice as an excuse for not making a longer speech. He prom ised to address the citizens tonight.
 It is stated that the newspaper of the anti-Parnen faction of the Irish party will appear on Monday next.
 The Municipal Council of Skibbereen has adopted vote of confidence in MT. Mccarthy.
 Tomorrow the largest demonstration yet held against MT. Parnell will take place at New Tipperary. Several leading McCarthyites will probably be present; among them, it is likely, will be MT. DaVitt.-

Howard. Miss Halliday is daughter of Wilbur H. Halliday, the electrician. hoWard IS wholesale grocer. Miss Hal. nday was the first witness called. She is.remarkably pretty and said she was 30 years of age.
 She testified that she became ac- quainted with the defendant twelve years ago and became engaged to him ten years ago. About the time of the eu- gagement Howard failed in business and their marriage was deferred that his cir. cumstances might have time to improve She encouraged hirQ in saving his money. hoping that he again might go into busi- ness for himself. He saved $500, which he placed in bank in Miss Hailiday's name.
 In the summer of 1888, while Miss Hal Aday was staying in the Adirondacks, she received letter from Howard asking her to give him an order by which he could draw the $500 from the bank, as there was 8 good business opening for him. She sent him the order, besides an equal amount which her parents gave her.

All these years she had remained constant in her devotion to the defendant, often refusing the atten- tions of other young men on account of her engagement to him.
 Mrs. Halliday, mother of tine plaintiff, testified that the defendant hal admitted to her that his course in paying atten- tion to the other young lady was mean, contemptible business from first to last. and that he had nothing to say in justi- fcation of his conduct. Miss Halliday asks SIC, 900 damages.

William O'Brien Says He Has Hopes to
 Patch Up the Irish Trouble.
 NEW YORK, Dec. 13.-This morning William O'Brien, Timothy Harrington and T. D. Gill sailed for Europe. Messrs. OBrien and Gill went by the steamer Obdam of the Netherlands Line and Mr. Harrington sailed on the Etruria.
 The three embarked last night about 10 o'clock, but before doing SO they re- ceived 8 great many of their friends at the Hoffman House. The visitors had none but the kindest words for the de- parting envoys. MT. Harrington received a delegation of members of the Irish Ma tional League that are in sympathy with Parnell.. s-.
 al William O'Brien favored the newspapes with a farewell interview, which was as follows, "Mr. Gill and leave for France to use our best efforts to secure a reunion of Irish factions.
 "Mr Dillon and MT. T. F. O'Connor re. main in America with the object of con- tinuing our work in the event of our consultation in France proving success full. We do not leave on the La Cham pagne on account Of her accident, and we do not go by the German Lloyd line, for I fear the English authorities might ar- rest me when the steamer should stop at Southampton, and think it is best to postpone my arrest until we have com pleted our work. So we leave on the Obdam of the Netherlands line. She will stop at Bolougne in France and let the party off.
 "Al our colleagues except Mir. Har- rington are agreed as to the object and scope of our mission, and know that MT. Harrington wishes us success. The object of our mission is in one word to save the general election without inf1ict- ing humiliation on any person. It would not do to expect too much from this trip. We are painfully sensible of tho dangers. But we have the strongest reliance in the good will of the two sections of the party.
 "Whatever may be said it is certain that the men are all single minded and acting most reluctantly under the pain full sense of duty. Everybody knows that any prolonged period of dissension in Ireland would be madness and the only result could be that we should have a triumphant Tory majority over our ruins. Our hope and belief is that the overpow- ering feeling of Irishmen is longing for peace.''
 MT. O'Brien said that the Paris confer ence would last but a very few days. He would then go back to Ireland to sur- render himself to the authorities. He will probably spend his Christmas in prison. There were some affecting scene at the parting of Mir. O'Brien and his friends. One of his admirers, Mir. Brennan, pressed the noted Irishman's hand to his lips, whereupon MT. O'Brien protested against such an exhibition of devotion.

While perspiring the most they rush out with only a breech clout and join in the dance, and so excitedly do they behave that the squaws and chii- dren become frenzied and take part.
