oegan hoouug at the speakers. The
Parnellites closed around the vehicle
from which their orators we're speaking,
and police appeared aud tried to divide the
factions. The meeting ended in scene Of
wild confusion. and Mr.. Parnell and his
friends drove off amid a shower of stones
and mud.
PARNELL NEARLY BLINDED
Frequent attempts to aSsail members of
the party were made. and several bags filled
with lime were thrown at them. Mr.. Har-
rington's shoulders were covered with lime
and mass of lime struck Mr.. Parnell full
In the face, completely binding him. This
insult infuriated Mr.. Parnell's friends. Mr.
Harrington turned, and advancing toward
Father Dowoey, shouted: Coward, you are
a disgrace to your church." Police here
again interfered, and Mr.. Parnell's party,
who had left their cars, again took their
seats, and finally got away on to the road.
Mr.. Parnelrs eyes, which We're quite closed,
were intensely painful
IN A PAINTING CONDITION.
He was soon obliged to stop his carriage,
which he left and entered laborer's cabin
in a fainting condition. A local doctor
attended him. The lime had become caked
beneath his eyelids, and the doctor was
unable to remove it for lack OF proper
appliances, SO he urged Mr.. Parnell TO drive
as fast as possible TO Kilkenny. Arriving
at the Victoria hotel, Mr.. Parnell had to be
led from the wagon to his room. He re-
clined in an arm chair, apparently sightless
and suffering the most intense agony.
IN THE HANDS OF HIS SURGEON.
He still remains in the hands of his sur
geon. Surgeon Hackett, who attended Mr..
Parnell along the road, stated at a late hour
tonight that all the lime had been removed,
but that tue patient WAS still suffering in
tensely. He said that he did not anticipate,
from the present appearance, permanent
injury to Mr.. Parnellis sight.
A MEETING OF THE LEAGUE.
The Parneli section of the national league
held meeting here to-day. Announce
ment was made that the receipts for the
last two weeks amounted to Rl,7l1, iu-
cluding a subscription Of $500 from Mr.
Scully, the ParReliite candidate for parlia-
ment in North Kilkenny. All the speakers
at the meeting denounced the Gladstonian
party.
ANOTHER PICTURE OF PARNELL.
The Kilkenny correspondent of the Daily
NetCS declares that in the fights which oc-
Cured at the meetings to-day, the Parnel'-
ties were the aggresors. He contrasts the
Parnell of to-day with the Parnell of year
ago. He says: "When Mr. Parnell was
6enouncing ar. Tanner aud Mr.. Davitt
his white teeth cleaned and his words is
eltu HdIolly dIlu l6IOClOuSlf. III was UOb Luo
low, refined voice of parliament, but the
hard, cruel voice Of one hungering for ven
geence. He patted Mr. Harrington on the
shoulder in approval of the latter's denun-
citation of Sir John Pope Hennessy. How
meaningless the gesture seemed to BE-.
Mr.. Parnelps face was thinner than
| ever before saw it. The luster
OF his eyes was gene and they seemed tired
aud dazed. He smoked many cigarettes

his followers were utterly different from
anything | ever saw in him BEFORE
The Nel0s, in an editorial, says 1T is
evident that Secretary Balfour ordered the
police not to arrest Harrison"
DAvITT's PLUCKY CHARGE.
The Times Kilkenny dispatch says: "Mr.
Davltt's onslaught was so sudden that Mr..
Parnell and his companions watched with
bated breath, the progress Of his dark fig
ure in an Astrachan coat as he hewed his
way elong to where the fight was
the thickest When Mr.. Davitt
had made half the distance his hat
was battered and shapeless. He received
many heavy blows on the faco, the left side
of which was especially badly marked
The handful OF men with him, who had
| forced their way from end to end of the
square, all bore traces of severe usage.
| They had driven before them q force of
| fighters who disputed every inch of the
| ground, and dealt out blows with lightning
swiftness and effect. Mr.. Davitt presenting
himself at the very steps of Mr.. PsrnePs
venicle and breathing defiance. with gleam
| ing eyes and haggard look, then pushing
back through the maddened crowd, amid
the shrill cries of his partisans aud the
execrations Of his opponents, was a note
worthy episode of the affray."

others struck him.

Of the national league in Waterford held

HELP FOR THE STARVING.
A meeting was held at Schulz to-day in
| response to a call from the government to
| consider measures for the relief Of the dis
tressed people. The sheriff presided. The
chairman said that all that saved the
populace from utter starvation was the
assistance that was being received from
Great Britain.
The application for the injunction was
grounded on the affidavit Of the manager
| of the Irish National Newspaper Publica-
tion Company, of which Messrs. Parnell and
| Lawler, Patrick Egan. Timothy Harring-
| ton, and DIR. Kenny are directors In the
| affidavit Mr.. Campbell gave the particulars
! Of the dismissal of Mr.. Bodkin from the
managing editorship of the United ireland,
and told how Mr.. Bodkin had since
reproduced the paper. The defend
ants counsel asked an adjournment

| judge asked If the counsel would agree not
to publish the paper during the adj )urn-
mont. AS the defense refused to give the
promise. the Judge said he had no alterna-
tive but to grant the injunction.
Notwithstanding the injunction the paper
again appeared to-day. The words United
Ireland however, do not appear ON the
title page, the word Suppressed only ap-
entitled the hasuppressibLe United Ireland.
