day, Judge AcheSon handed down an
opinion awarding the MonOngahela Nav
igation Company S2O9, 900 for lock No. :,

Company claimed S5O0,00O for their
franchise, but the Judge decided that
the franchise was OF no value, as the
river belonged to the United States, and
was open 10 all.

A BITTER PILL.
How the Parnellites Swallow the Bitter
Kilkenny Dose.

Ahnchhy Dosc'
DUBLIN. December 24.-The North
Kilkenny election has widened the
breach between the Parnellites and the
priesthood.
United Ireland, the leading Parnell
organ, referring to-day to the result Of
the election, says: Kilkenny has de-
clared for Gladstone against Parnell.
The battle was fought with every
weapon hatred, malice, ingratitude and
treachery could supply. Behind the
mutiuecrs were the priests, eager TO re-
gain the power Parnell secured for Ire
land ten years ago; they sanctioned
methods of warfare hitherto unused,
and open fighting was supplemented by
secret intimidation. But although this
combination secured victory in Kill
kenny, it must be remembered that Kill
kenny is not ireland. They shall be
forced TO renew the wage of battle at
every spot on Irish soil from the center
to the sea-"
The Frecmdn'S Journal says that Mr..
Parnell starts for Paris tonight in order
to meet his "trusty lieutenant, William
OBrien. Mr.. Parnell. according to the
Journal, refuses to believe that friend
ly conference between Mr.. O'Brien and
himself will be barren of friendly results
until they have definitely failed to es-
tablish modus vivendi.
At midnight last night wildly en-
thusiastic and cheering crowd of Mr..
Parnell's admirers embarrassed the
horses from the carriage which was to
convey the Irish leader from the rail
way station to the National Club, and
dragged his vehicle to that building,
where he made speech. During the
course of his remarks Mr.. Parnell said
that he was unjustly blamed for refuS-
ing to leave Ireland to the mercy not,
say of Gladstone, but to the tag-rag,
bob-tail English Liberals. 1t would be
Infamous and contemplate upon his
part, he added, if he held back any light
he could throw on certain subjects.
But. he said in conclpsion. his justiiica-
tion would come very soon.

Mccarthy Jubilant.

BoULoGNE, December "a. - Justin
Mccarthy arrived here yesterday.
Regarding the election in Kilkenny,
he says the result surpasses his expec-
tations, its decisive character being ac-
centuuted by the fact that Mr.. Scnlly's
votes included at least from 500 to 600
Conservatives, making the total Par
nellite strength only one-quarter OF the
total poll. Mr. Mccarthy said he be-
lioved the defeat of Mr.. Scully would
have the effect of demoralizing the OPP
position. and would induce many waver-
ers to come ont against Parnell.
