Cork, March 23.-Mr. Timothy D.
Healy NJ. P, had very rough experience
in this city today, being assaulted and
seriously injured. He had attended the
assizes, being interested in a case in which
his brother, Maurice Healv, to whom Mr..
Parneil recently sent his famous resigna-
ton challenge, had obtained damages for
libel against local member of the Par
nellite party. Upon leaving the court
room at the conclusion Of the trial, Mr..
Timothy Healy was soon surrounded bv
a bowling mob, who followed him along
the street and made number of attempts
to assault him.
The crowd finally became SO violent
that Mr.. Healy to escape his tormentors
was compelled to beat retreat and take
refuge in the dressing room of the Vic
toria hotel. But this proved to be only
temporary safety, for before Mr.. Healy
could recover from the effects of the mobs
rough usage, man suddenly rushed into
the room, turned out the lights and struck
Mr.. Healy powerful blow in the face,
smashing his eye glasses into pieces.
When assistance arrived and the room
was again lighted Mr.. Healy was found TO
have been badly injured. as he had re-
ceived numerous cuts from the broken
pieces of his eyeglasses and the blood
was pouring down his face in streams.
He was removed to a room, and, as he ap-
peared to be suffering intense pain,
number of physicians were summoned.
Three doctors are now in attendance on
the injured man. They have made an
examination of the wounds in his eyes,
and express tho fear that Mr.. Healy's in
juries may result in the loss of his sight.
Healy's assailant is O'Brien Dalton, Who
was connected with the Tipperary con-
spiracy. He first upbraided Healy
for an insulting speech which
he says Healy made while
Dalton was in prison. He then
struck Healy. The glass injured the coats
of Healy's left eye and inflicted an
incised wound an inch below the eye
lid. 1t is feared that inflammation will
ensue. Healys sight is not injured. Mr.
Moreley, who arrived at the hotel after
the assault, was highly indignant. Par
nellite roughs watched all the exits until
Healy departed when they hooted him.

A LOSING GAM z.
Mr.. ParneII's Cause Grows More Desperate
Day by Day.

Day by Day.
DUBLIN, March 23.-Mr. Parnell's cause
is still advancing rearward, as one of his
countrymen might say, and every day he
loses more ground. Mr.. Parnell went to
Sligo today. Although news of his coming
had been spread broadcast in advance of
his arrival, there was no one to meet him
at the station and his entry was made in
solemn silence.
In letter TO the Cork leadership COM
mittee. Mr.. Parnell says that Mr.. Healy's
insulting references to himself debar him
from having any direct communication
with that gentleman or his friends He
has, however, placed his application for
the Chiltern hundreds in Mr.. Nolan's
hands, with the request to forward it di-
rectly. When Mr.. Parnell's letter was
mentioned to him today Mr.. Healy re-
piled that if Mr.. Parnells resignation was
genuine he would instantly meet 1T. Mr..
Healy submits himself to the elections to
the Cork district, which he represents.
Mr. Michael Davitt said, in an interview
today, that Mr.. Parnells letter is a repe-
tition of the Boulogne trick
"Mr. Parnell wishes to make Mr.. Healy
be the first to resign" said Mr.. Davitt,
land then he, Mr. Parnell, would be guided
by the result of Mr.. Healy's fate. Mr..
Parnell would never have noticed the ac-
ceptance of his challenge except for the
taunts of the press. He now evades the
terms OF his own challenge"
The recent conservative victory at Ash
tor, said Mr.. Davitt, wa won on the labor
issue, the laborers failing to fathom the
governments desire to shelve the labor
question by appointing such men as Lord
Harrington and the earl Of Derby as men,
bers Of the commission.
Canon Kearnev in letter to the Ma
tional Press, Mccarthy organ, denies en-
phatically that he enclosed ESQ to the
lord mayor for Mr.. Parnell's campaign ex-
penses. This denial is taken by Mr.. Par
nells opponents as suggestive OF q bogus
list of subscribers.
MONTREAL, March 23.-Dr. Alfred Fex,
a prominent member of the Mccarthy Sec
tion of the Irish party in the imperial
house of commons, is in the city and has
had interviews with leading Irishmen
here. Alth ugh very discreet in his con-
versation with newspaper men 1T is evil
dent that he has been sent to America by
Justin Mccarthy to report back the state
of public opinion in .the new world as to
the split which has taken place in the
home rule party.
LYNN, Mass, March 23.-The Parnell
branch of the Irish national league yester-
day voted mot to in anyway recognize the
envoys from either of the two factions
contending in Ireland" The members
say that by thus voting they have voiced
the sentiments of the executive officers of
the league.

A ROGUE ELEPHANT.
Narrow Escape of -eper ut Central Park
Yesterday.


New York, March 23.-Tip, the ele-
phant presented by Mr.. Forepaugh to the
Central park menagerie, came near adding
another victim yesterday to his record of
eight keepers that he has
already killed. Early this forenoon
William Snyder, who has charge of the
elephants, was cleaning up the cage Of
Tom and Lizzie, couple of elephants that
live next door to Tip, when he heard
report like pistol shot and the next
moment Tip was trying to knock down the
partition between his quarters and those
of the couple next to him.
Snyder entered the other cage and
found the brute had broken the band about
his body and was charging at the wooden
wall that kept him from his rival,
Tom. The keeper went in to quiet the
animal, but with that scream which IS
peculiar to ''rogue" the elephant turned
on him, seized HIM with its trunk and held
the man in mid-air. Three or four times
the animal thrust at the man with its tusk
and it was in warding off these attacks
that Snyder's right hand was injured, and
IL WAS OWluE 10 tue dUlulhl ; luShS ndNlH0
been cut of that the man was not killed
at once.
The elephant, enraged at its i'll success
in trying to kill its keeper, threw him vio-
lently to the ground. Snyder struck the
back partition of the cage with
his head and was rendered unconscious.
The elephant. bent on crushing out the
mans life by trampling on him, rushed
toward its victim. Snyder hai, how
ever, fallen outside the ele-
plants range, who again and again
tried to reach the keeper, but the one
chain on the hind leg was true and the
brute, finding itself foied in one way,
then began to batter the partition again,
knocking out large splinters of wood.
Policeman Murphy had seen from the
front what had happened, and he ran
around to the rear of the building and
dragged out Snyder with no little risk of his
own life for the elephant was trying II
break the chain that held him and with
his trunk was trying to reach Snyder, and
on the policeman's appearance the brute
trumpeted savagely at him.
Snyder, who was dragged out by the legs
soon recovered consciousness and except
for bruised head and a wounded right
hand seemed none the worse for his
narrow escape.

Sheriff Mccarthy received card from
Sheriff wilkins of Topeka, Kan, asking
him to keep lookout for Ben Grant, a

ing his white wife on March 10. The
sheriff soon located him in shanty occu-
pied by a negro named Ferguson. About
l o'clock this afternoon the sheriff and a
deputy went to the house and demanded
that Grant be given up.
Immediately great racket took place
in an adjoining room, and in moment
Grant was seen making good speed across
lots. When commanded to halt he drew
a big revolver, paying no heed to half q
dozen shots sent after him. About doz-
en- men soon joined the sheriff and the
chase continued through the Denver &
Rio Graude yard, past the union depot,

OTTAWA, Ont, March pa detective
who recently visited British Columbia on

during his stay in Victoria he saw enough

province are administering punishment
under their own ordinances and according
to their own civil and criminal codes. He
said helearned of two cases in which crimi-

secretly beheaded, unknown to the local
authorities. He is of the opinion that
many Chinese are thus dealt with on the
Pacific coast which the local police never
hear of. 1t is almost impossible to secure

law, as it means death to any of them to
reveal what goes on in their own tribu-

afterward appointed commissioner of
chancery in New York City, which Office
he retained from lS43 to 1876. He was

ice during both terms. He won
especial distinction as control
Ter OF the treasury of New York,
