No. 201 East Ninety eighth street, who was

woman named Gaffney, as he lay in bed
last night, died early this morning at the
Presbyterian Hospital. Mcclure lived
with his wife in rooms on the third floor
OF the tenement. His wife Is an habitual
drunkard. The Gaffney woman went to
McGuire's to ask for lodging for the night,
she being an acquaintance of McGuire's.
Mcclure ordered her out. Mrs. Mcclure
sided with Mrs. Gatfney and McGuire re-
tired in disgust. The women drank can
after can of beer. McGuIre opened the
door OF his room and asked them to be

ragged, called the Gatfney woman a vile
name. She seized a lighted kerosene lamp
and threw it at him. The top flew Oft and

of the police and power to deal with the
land question. These disclaimers in them
selves prove that Nessrs Gladstone and
Morley bad secret communications with
Messrs. O'Brien. Dillon and Mccarthy dur
ing the Boul0gne negotiations But the
Liberals have reason to fear. while the
Conservatives exult over the prospect OF
further revelations.
The document which Mr.. Mccarthy pro-
duced at BoclogDe as one embodying Mr..
Gladstones latest assurances was only one
of several communications from the Lib
eral leaders. Mr.. OBrien holds some of
these communications which Messrs. Har-
rington and Redmond challenged him to
publish. 1t is not probable, however, that
Mr.. OBrien woaid disclose them as long as
the alliance with the Liberals exists The
widow of Mr.. Psrnell has other of these
communications, and it Is now expected
that they will come to light as soon as her
recovery enables her to take part In the de-
fense of Mr.. Parnell and to strike his enc
mics. The eXIgencies of the position cre-
ated by the disclosures is keenly felt by the
Liberals and confirms tho general party de-
mand that Mr.. Gladstone shall, at theearli-
est opportunity, make clear statement of
his revised bome-Iule scheme.
Unionists revel II the personal criticisms
of the leaders OF each side in the Cork
election contest. Mr.. Redmond describes
Mr. OBrlen as ae'ing the part OF bogus
peacemaker and fighting for his own hand.
Patrick O'Brien states that William o Brien
privately denounced Mr.. Dillon as aiming
at the leadership and said that If Mr.. Dill
lon had remained in America he would
have been able To bring about reunion.
Self-seekers first and patriots a long way
afterwards IS the burden of the compll-
ments exchanged hy the opposing factions.
Mr.. L. NJ. Healy has got to face a worse
encounter than the one he had with Mr..
McDerm0tt. Mr.. Henry Harrison. member
of Parliament for Tipperary, warned Mr..
Healy that If he repeated his insulting al
lusions 10 Mrs Parnell he would take the
law into his hands and punish Mr.. Healy.
Mr.. Healy, in repeating his references to
Mrs. Parnell. added that he would not
mince words in dealing N the matter be-
Harrison. who had declared his readiness
to vindicate her honor. Mr.. Harrison, who
is of athletic build. will bide his time to
get at Mr.. Healy. who is now constantly
protected by police.
