Cork. March 23.-Tmothy d. IIealy. NJ p, had
A rough experience in this city to-day, being as.
saulted and seriously injured. He had attended
the asszeS, being interested in a case In which his
brother. Maurice IIealy, TO whom Mr.. Parnell re-
Gently sent his famous resignation challenge had
obtained damages for libel against local member
of the Parnellite party. Upon leaving the court
room at the conclusion of the trial. Timothy lIealy
was soon surrounded by bowling mob, who fol-
lowed him along the street and made number of
attempts TO assault him. The crowd finally be-
came so violent that Mr.. Healy. to escape his tor
mentors, was compelled to beat retreat and take
refuge in dhe dressing room of the Victoria Hotel.
But this proved to be only a temporary place of
safety for before Mr.. IIeay could recover from
the effects of the mobs rough usage a man sud.

and then struck Mr.. llealy powerful blow in the
face smashing his eyeglasses into pieces. When
assistance arrived and the room again lighted,
Mr. Healy was found to have been badly injured,
as be had received numerous cuts from the broken
pieces of his eyeglasses and the blood pouring
down his face in streams. He removed TO a
room, and as he appeared to be suffering intense
pain, number of physicians were summoned.
Three doctors made an examination of the
wounds in Mr.. Healys eyes, and expressed the fear
that his injuries may result in the loss of his sghs

the assault, was highly indignant. Parnelte
roughs watched all the exits till IIealy departed
from back entrance, when they hooted him.
1t was announced to-day that Mr.. Parnell has
written a letter to the Cork Leadership Commit
tee in which he says that the tone of studied in
suit and the untruhful character of the statements
made in Mr. Healy's letter accepting Parnells
challenge that they should both resign their seats
in Parliament and come forward as candidates for
reelection, debarS Mr.. Parnell from cOmmuni-
eating directly with Mr.. Healy with the latters
friends. Mr.. Parnell adds that it is impossible
to expect that any agreement will he respected by
bis opponents longer than eXpedient. However,
he has placed his application for the Chltern Hun
dreds in Mr.. Nolan's hands, requesting him TO
forward it as soon as Mr.. Ilealy submits himself
before the electors of the division of Cork which
he represents.
Maurice Healy, when questioned to-day about
Mr. Parnels letter to the Leadership Committee,
said that he had not seen the letter referred 70;
but added that if the resignation was genuine, he
would instantly meet it.
London, March 23-Michael Davitt, in an in
terview to-day said that Mr.. ParnelPs phrase In
his letter to the Cork Leadership Committee, say
ing so soon as Mr.. lIealy has submitted himself
to the Judgment of, and has gone to, his constitu-
ents,' was a repetition of the Boulogne trick. MI
Davitt added Mr.. Parnell wishes 10 make Mr..
llealy be the first to resign. and then lie. MI
ParneI would be guided by the result of Mr..
Healys fate. Mr.. Parnell would never have
noticed the acceptance of his challange except for
the taunts of the press. lie now evadeS the terms

Interviews with Members in the lobby Of the
House of Commons show a general belief that Mr.
Parnell will not resign until after Mr. IIcaly has
resigned. Many McCarthyites are 50 confident OF
the defeat of Mr.. Parnell that they urge Mr.
Healy to make every possible concession TO force
