MANY HEADS ARE BROKEN.
An Anti-Parnellite Mob Marches Side
By Side With Their Foes.
A RECEPTION AND A CONVENTION.
Even the Boys on the Streets Fight For the
Rival Leaders.
AND THE END is NOT YET IN SIGHT

distinguished Members OF Harllament were
met by deputation composed of members
of the National Federation, representatives
Of the Gaelic Club, the municipal officers
and a large number of others. A large
number of people lined the route followed
by the procession which followed Messrs.
O'Brien and Dillon from the railroad sta
tion. The procession was headed by brass
band and was escorted by a strong detach-
ment of police.
A large body guard from Maurice Healv's
quarter of the city, all armed with stout
blackthons, then surrounded the vehicle, in
which the two orators drove, which, in the
midst of terrific yell, began its progress
toward the assembly rooms. The Healyites,
with sticks waving in the air, and uttering
cheers for O'Brien and Dillon marched in a
compact mass in the roadway. On the side
walks. and side by side with their oppon-
ents half walked, half trotted perspiring
throng of Parnellites, while between the
two bodies of marchers were the police,
warding off occasional vicious thrusts of
the blackthorns and preserving the peace.
An Assortment of Epithets.
As the procession passed through the
streets there was considerable kissing, and
several stones crashed through large por-
trait Of William o Brien, which was carried
in the parade. When the procession reached
the assembly rooms and the two leaders at
empted to address the vast crowd their
voices were at once drowned in wells and
cries Of 'Murderers, Traitors" 'Cow-
ards" Finally the Parnellites gathered
themselves together for a rush and were

the mounted police charged them and drove
them back.
Upon arriving at the assembly room
Messrs. Dillon and O'Brien were given an
enthusiastic reception, during which several
warmly applauded speeches were made.
While the speech-maklng was in progress
a body OF Parnellites attacked the bands
men of the McCarthyites, and tried to de-
molish their instruments, now favorite
proceeding upon the part of the contending
factions. A warm free fight followed. but
it was only of short duration, as the police
charged in upon the combatants, and soon
put an end to the hostilities.
Dillon Protests Against Violence.
Messrs. Dillon and O'Brien, after the re-
ception at the assembly rooms was ended,
escorted by a number of friends. attended
the Cork County Convention, where Mr..
the course of an address made to the county
delegates, Mr. Dillon complained of what
he termed the organized violence" of the
ParnelliteS, and made other allusions to the
political situation which were loudly ap-
plauded by those present
Mr.. O'Brien said in his address that he
was willing to give fair play to his Oppo-
nents, but added he would not yield to
"brickbats aud dynamite bombs''-a remark
L
Continuing. Nh. 0'Brien said that they (the
Parnellites) might blow up the Office of the
newspaper representing the views of the
McCarthvites, 'but," he exclaimed, ''they
cannot destroy the spirit which animates
that party. Tremendous applause,
mingled with some hooting.
At another part of the discourse Mr.
O'Br;en, amid cheers, called upon John E.
Redmond. the Parnellite candidate for Cork
city and the new leader of the Parnellite
party, to repudiate all responsibility for
violence in connection with the dynamite
incident last night in Dublin.
Another Fight in the Streets.
After the Cork county convention had
adjourned, there was serious fight in the
streets of this city between the Mccarthy
ties and the Parnellites. As soon as the
convention had closed its proceedings
Messrs. Dillon and O'Brien passed througINI
the city, still accompanied by the process
sion which met them at the railroad station
Suddenly the McCarthyites were attacked
by a large mob Of Parnellites and both
sides fought desperately with sticks, clubs,
shovels and picks A detachment of
mounted police was sent for and they
spurred their horses in between the two
lines Of the combatants, striking right and |
left with he fiat of their sabers amid two |
crossing showers of stones and bricks. A
large number of wounded were stretched |
bleeding and groaning in the streets before |
the troopers restored order. The neighbor- |
ing hospital had to find accommodation for |
many wounded persons by the time hostili- |
ties were suspended.
There is great excitement everywhere in
Cork this evening. The antagonistic |
groups, it is feared, will reassemble, and |
there is danger that the battle between |
them will be resumed.
More Fights to Follow.
The feeling aroused throughout Ireland. |
and especially in this city, bv recent po- |
litical and factional savings and doings, is |
very bitter, and threatens to result in Sc |
rious conflicts between the McCarthvites |
and ParnelliteS There were several affrays |
here last evening at the close of the various |
political meetings, and sticks and stones |
were freely used by both parties The re- |
suit is that n number of members of the |
two opposing parties are being nursed in |
the hospitals and elsewhere for severe |
wounds incurred during the trays. A girl, |
who was an onlooker during one of these |
political scrimmages, was seriously |
wounded about the head and face by |
stones.
The sermon preached last Sunday at Kill
kenny bv Father Fidelis, of the Order of ST.
Francis. is much commented upon here and |
elsewhere Father Fidelis upon that occa-
sion bitterly denounced the late Charles /
Stewart ParnelI. saving that ''the most de-
praved monster who ever lived'' was now
swept off the face of the earth" The rev.
erend gentleman also said that the women
who were supporting him were climbs of
the devil, " and that the local workingmen's |
club was "a synagogue of hell.
Even the Small Boys Fight.
Two boys of Limerick quarreled to-day
while discussing the question of the leader
ship of the Irish Parliamentary party.
Finally one Of the lads struck the other
over the head with stone, fracturing his
skull, for refusing to answer whether he was
IN favor OF the late Mr., Parnell or Mr..
Healev
The National Press, declares that after the
explosion of the bomb in the Abbey street
area % or 60 men, supposed to be part of the
gang Of Parnellites to whose credit the explo-
sion is placed, poured into the National Press
Office sho1ting "To - with the Healy
murderers. Is Tim dead?" etc., ETC.
