 To-day Parnell and a number of his friends went to the office of the United Ireland and demanded admission. When it was refused Parnell seized a crowbar and broke in the door. He then made a speech. from the window and was cheered to the echo. The mention of Timothy Healy's name was greeted with misses. The resent ment for Healy is growing hourly and 1t is feared that he will be assaulted. Last night Healy attempted to make a speech but the crowd became so ex- cited that he abandoned the idea. As he left the platform he was roughly handled, and his hat crushed down over his eyes. One man, named Moran, was arrested for assault. .. .see. > -.,'@

 the Ice While Skating,
 George Brown, boy, while skating at Moody's mill pond in Bridgeport, last evening, broke through the ice and would have drowned had it not been for the presence of mind displayed by a young man who was an eye witness of the affair.
