the popular blackthorn received dur
ing free fights that occurred last night
by McCarthyitcs and parncl!itcs.
Mr.. John Dillon, who, with Mr..
Justin Mccarthy, has been tho most
active worker in the political campaign
being conducted in this city, resulting
from tho contest between tho Nc
Carthyites and Parnellites for tho seat
in Parliament loft vacant by tho death

Ceivcd 4 severe blow on the knee from q
stick. This morning DR.. Tanner, who
is in attendance upon Mr.. Dillon, re-
ports that his patient is suffering from
an etTusion at the knee joint, accom-
panied by severe pain. Tho injury, he
adds, is not oil II serious nature, but on
account OF the swelling Mr.. Dillon must
keep quiet. Consequently the injured
Parliamentarian has ceased his work OF
canvassing Cork city on behalf OF the
nominee OF tho McCarthyitc party.
IT WAS SERIOUS.
A later dispatch says: The fighting
which took place between the Nc
Carthyitcs and Parncllites last night in
the streets OF this city was more seri-
Gus than appeared from the first re-
ports received at headquarters. There
was Il series OF severe scrimmages be-
tween the contending parties, the most
severe being the one in which Mr..
Dillon was disabled. Crowds of Nc
Carthyitcs were upon that occasion ac-
companying Messrs. Dillon and
O'Bricn, who were on their way to q
McCarthyite meeting. The Mccarthy
ties came into collision with torch
light procession OF Parncllitcs. The
latter was headed by brass band and
was composed OF some OF Mr.. John I.
RcdmOnd's most cntrusty supporters.
Neither crowd would give way to the
other and SO hot and general melee
followed, several thousand contestants
taking part in tho tray. Black thoins
were used with the best possible effect
by both parties, and bricks and stones
flying through the air. added to the
ardor OF the rival factions and consider
ably increased the excitement OF the
moment. Finally the McCarthyitcs
