STONED BY PARNELLITES.
John Dillon the Victim of Angry Mob,
and is Severely Injured.
BY Cable to The Times

CoRK, Oct 29.-Both parties boast of their
ability TO carry the election. but the Nc
Carthyites. although working earnestly do
not seem to be confident. The Parnellites
have SO far shown themselves in the ma Outy
IN the street fights. and but for the police and
military protection the McCarthyites would
have been driven out Of Cork. The Par
neilite element. however. includes many non-
voters, whose names were stricken of the roll
during the severe CANVASS of last autumn
Mr.. John Dillon. who. with Mr.. Justin Nc
CarthY has been the most active worker in
the political campaign being conducted IN
this city resulting from the contest between
the McCarthyites and Parnellites for the seat
in Parliament left vacant 10y the death of
Charles Stewart Parnell, is now pronounced
hors de combat
Mr.. Dillon was pursued and attacked last
night while driving to attend nm anti-Parnel
lite meeting He was peited with stones and
during the fracss received a severe blow on
the knee from stick. This morning Or.
Tanner. who Is in attendance upon Mr.. Dill
Ion. reports that his patient is suffering from
an ehusi0n from the knee Joint accompanied
by synovitas. The injury, he adds, Is not of
serious nature, but on account of the swell
ing Mr.. Dillon must keep quiet. COnse-
quently the injured pariamentarian has
ceased his work of csnvassing Cork city on
behalf Of the nominee Of the DlcCarthylte
party.
All night long half-drunken partisans reeled
about the streets Individually and in groups.
From time 10 time two gangs meeting on
corner would dispute, aud then an appeal
would be made TO the eyer-ready blackthOrn
or to q convenient boulder. The gentlemen
on both sides were generally so expeditions
In their movements that it was almost always
easily possible for them 70 refresh themselves
with an exhaustive use Of obiurgstory adj
lectives and vigorous play Of cudgels and
stones before the appearance Of the police.
This morning thirty-two men have called
az the hospital TO have their wounds bound
up, some Of the injuries inflicted being quite
serious.
Patrick McDermott. the McCarthyte can
didste. has been elected 30 the seat IN the
House of Commons for North Kilkenny made
vacant by the recent death of Sir John Pope
Hennessy. Mr. MoDermott, who accepted the
nomination after 1t had been declined by Nr.
Dayitt, was elected without opposition.
AN EFFORT TO PUT AN END TO IT.
LoyDoN. Oct. PA meeting Of Liberal
leaders is talked of 10 take some steps 20 put
an end 20 the exhibition in Ireland which Is
causing great harm TO the home-rule cause in
England and seriously menacing the prospects
Of the Liberal party. The fighting at Cork is
denounced on all sides as the most disgraceful
occurrence at an election in the nited King
dom for many years past IL is feared that
even worse is coming before the polling day.
as Cork advices say that both factions are
worked up to the highest pitch of evaporation.
Mr.. John Dillon tonight Is suffering great
pain in his knee. The only harm 10 Mr..
O'Brien was that he had his trousers torn
while escaping from the square after the brief
victory of the Pgrnelites An excited Nc
Carthyite shouted his intention in the riot
last night 70 make Jack OConnOr bite the
dust. or rather the mud. but Jack seized the
fellow in his Samson grip and shook him like
a rat. OF the men wounded in the afrays Of
the past three days it is feared that several
may die.
