Kill william O'Brien.


CORK, Oct. 0.-Considerable excitement
was occasioned here this morning among
the McCarthyites by a rumor that was
spread throughout the city that plot had
been discovered, in which a number OF the
more rabid Farnelites were implicated, to
murder William O'Bren. The police, how

may be made to injure him.

this city, who have carefully investigated the
matter, declare to be unfounded, woman
who was returning from the political
meeting at Maytied heard four men
plotting to kill Mr.. Dillon as he and a num-
her OF his followers were returning from
the meeting. The woman made such an
outcrY as Mr.. Dillon and his party ap-
preached as to warn them of the proximity
Of the would-be murderers. The latter
hastily decamped. The affair has caused a
sensation.
The infrmaries of the city have been
busy since early morning attending TO the
injured persons hurt in last nights Par
nellite McCarthyite rioting. There are now
ninety-two patients in the hospitals suffer-
ing from wounds received during the riot
ing. Many others, OF course, we're treated
at their homes.
MCARTHYITES FINED.
At the police court this morning num-
Der of McCartlyites were fined for stoning
the Parnellite meeting. The magistrate

state of affairs in Cork, the police Of Fer
moy, nineteen miles from this city, and oon-
stabulary from all the outlying stations,
been ordered to proceed Immediately to
Cork.
Rival meetings of Parnellites and anti

of black thorns
The whole force of mounted police at
present in this city has been placed at the
disposal Of Mr.. Dillon. and will accompany
him everywhere until the close of the po-
litical campaign now being fought here
