PARNELlITES ARE JUBlLANT
And Regret that McDcrmo,t Did Not
Thrash Him to Death

LONDON. Nov. S.-Ths assault upon
Timothy Healey by Parnel's nephew, Nc
Dermott, is generally applauded in Dublin,
and feebly condemned only by Nc
Cartharites. Heuly's remarks about Mrs.
Parnell are universally condemned as brutal
and wonder is expressed in the London clubs
that he has dared TO appear in public since
his utterances at Longford. McDermott
gave Hsaly a very severe thrashing. Healy
is fully the equal of McDermott in physical
strength, but the latter handled him with
ease, and but for the interference of the
Others lawyers might have fatally injured
him.
a person who helped to examine Henly
after the attack says that he is striped with
broad welts from his neck downward on the
back and hips, showing the terrible energy
of the blows. The Parnellites claim that
Healy was crying for mercy when the other
lawyers came to his rescue, and when they
surrounded him and he felt he was safe, he
made nretense of wanting to fight again.
The news created great excitement in Cork,
where the Parnelltes every where held a
jubilee, and loud professions of regret were
heard that tue thrashing had not been fatal.
