Davitt's car and n general melee ensued. A
forest Of ash-plant sticks and blaekthorns
arose and descended in the air where the di-
viding lines Of the opposing sections met. Mr..
Davitt leaped from his car, welding n thick,
hazel stick, and fought his way, foot by foot,
straight toward Mr.. Parnelis wagon, giving
and receiving numerous blows. He finally
reached the wagon, hstless and with his face
badly marked, and with a few Of his men with
him, who also bore traces of the severe usage
they had received to their desperate passage
between the two vehicles. Standing on the
steps Of Mr.. Parnelrs wagon, Mr.. Davitt
uttered a breathiess and indistinct defiance,

Mr.. Parnell addressed meetings several times
later in the day denouncing Hennessey, Davitt
and Tanner. The last meeting ended in a scene
Of wild confusion. and Parnell and his friends
