=, mad very rough experience in this
CITY To-day, being assaulted and seriously
injured
ne had atteadeGathe assizes, being inter
ested IN case in which his brother, Maui
rice Healy, to whom Mr.. Parnell recently
sent his famous resignation challenge, had
obtained damages tor libel against local
member of the Parnellite party.
+ Upon leaving the court room at the con-
c1us'on ofthe trial Timothy Healy was soon
surrounded by a bowling mob, who fol-
lowed him along the street and made q
number of attempts to- assault hina. The
crowd finally became so violent that Mr..
Healy, to escape his tormentors, was, CONF
pelled to beat retreat and take refuge in
the dressing room OF the Victoria hotel.
but this proved to be- only temporary
place OF safety. for, before Mr.: Henly could
recover from the effects Of the mob's rough
usage, man suddenly rushed into the
room, turned out the light and then struck
Mr.. Healy powerful blow in the face,
smashing his eye glasses into pieces
When assistance arrived and the room
was again lighted Mr., Healey was found to
have been badly injured as he had received
numerous cuts from the broken pieces OF
ms eye glasses, and the blood was pouring
down his face in streams. He was removed
to room, and, as he appeared to be suffer-
ing intense pain. number Of physicians
were summoned
Three doctors are in attendance on the
injured man. They have made an exam
lnatlon of the wounds in his eyes, and ex-
press the fear that Mr.. Healy's injuries may
result in the loss of his sight.
Healy's assailant is O'Brien Dalton. who
was connected with the Tipperary con-
spiracy. He first upbraided Healy for an
insulting speech which he says Healy made
while Dalton was in prison. He then
struck Healy: The glass injured the coats
OF Healy's left eye and inflicted an in
clsed wound ali inch below the
.eyelid. 1t is feared that inflammation will
ensue. Healy's sight is not injured. Mr..
Morley, who arrived at the hotel after the
assault, was highly indignant. Parnellite
roughs watched ell the exits till Healy de-,
parted from back entrance when they
hooted him.

What Was Found in the Stomach of a
Fish of the German Variety.
Mirabile dictu! Strange things happen in
far-off places. 1t is not uncommon in open
ing fish to find various and divers sundries
within their maws. On Lake Superior the
great lake trout, the namaycush of the
Ojtbbewas, seem to always be ready and
willing to accept any of such things as are
thrown from the cooks galley of the steam
ers and sailing vessels which pillow its pellu-
cid waters. 1t is not uncommon to find a
fork or spoon, beef bones, potatoes, broken
wine glasses, corn cObs, and even a bunch
of keys are among the treasure tr6ve from
their omniyorous collection bags. But now
a carp comes to the front as a contaner of
the neatest outfit OF anything yet seen on the
great unSalted sea. On Christmas morning
Captain Mccormick, an old salt and fish
man, saw Two fine large German carp on
sale III Duluth. Struck with their appear
ance, and thinking to please his friend. the
doctor. he purchased one and sent it TO him
with the compliments of the season. Of
course the doctor was pleased with the gift
and ordered it tabled. You can imagine the
establishment of all when it was opened to
lind within a silk-iined case containing a
large meeiSchaum pipe and cigar-holder, all
in good order. too. 1t was genuine carp,
imported from Germany, of the variety
called papier mache. The doctor has it yet
carefully preserved, and the smoker appar-
atus, too, which he shows to his friends with
very great pleasure.-FoTeSt and Stream
