gether and began hootng at the speakers. The
Parnellites closed around the vehicle from
which their orators were addressing the peo.
ple and the police appeared and tried to dlvloe
the factions. The meeting ended in scene OF
wild confusion and Parnell and his friends
drove of amid a shower of stones and mud
frequent attempts to assail the mem perS OF
the PARTY were made, and several bags filled
with lime were thrown at them. Mr.. Harring-

completely binding him. This insult infuri-

doctor was only able to remove some of it by

case wasn't as pad as that" Finding that he
was unable to remove all the lime, the doctor

the road, stated at a late hour tonight that all
the lime had been removed, but that the patient
