Timothy Hsaly Assaulted - Mr. ParAsu
Guarded by Police.
Mr.. Timothy d. Healy, N. p, had Q rough
experience in Cork yesterday, being assaulted
and seriously injured. He had attended the
assizes being intel -sted in . case in which his
brother, Maurice Healy to whom Mr.. Parnell
recently sent his famous resignation challenge,
had obtained damages for libel against Q local
member of the Parnellits party. Upon leaving
the court room at the conclusion Of the trial
Mr.. Healy was soon surrounded by q bowling
mob, who followed him along the street and
made a number Of attempts to assault him.
The crowd finally became so violent that Mr..
Healy. to escape his tormsntors, was compelled
to take refuge in the dressing room Of the Vic
toria Hotel But this proved to be only tenn
porary place Of safety, for, before Mr. Healy
could recover from the effects Of the mob's
rough usage, man suddenly rushed into the
room, turned out the light and then struck
Mr.. Healy powerful blow in the face, smash
ing his eyeglasses into pieces. When assist
ance arrived and the room was again lighted
Mr. Healy was found to have been badly in
jursd, as he had received numerous cuts from
the broken pieces Of his eyeglasses, and the
blood was pouring down his face in streams.
He was removed to q room and a. he sp-
psared to be suffering intense pain, q number
OF physicians were summoned Three doctors
have made an examination Of the wounds in his
eyes and express the fear that. Mr.. Healy's
injuries may result N the loss Of his sight.
Hsaly's assailsnt is O'Brien Dalton, who
was connected with the Tppersry conspiracy.
speech which Healy made while Dalton was in
prison. He then struck Hesly. The glass in
jured the coats Of Healy's left eye and inflicted
an incised wound an inch below the eyelid. 1t
Is feared that inflammation will ensue. Mr..
Morley, who arrived at the hotel after the
assault, was highly indignant Pernellite
roughs watched all the exits till Healy de-
parted from q back entrance, when they hooted
him.
PARNELL PROTECTED BY POLICE.
Mr.. Parnell, in speech delivered at Sligo
yesterday, quoted Gen. Gordons opini on tina.
the tenants should be bought out by compul-
sorry appropriation at a small sum, and sh ould
be allowed to keep their holdings in perfect
security and practically rent free.
Mr.. Parnell. il referring to the seceders
from his ranks, said he preferred Valentine
Dillon to good proportion of the traitors who
had deserted the party. because Dillon would
not run away If the grand old man made faces
at him. He would put his back to the wall and
Gle hghting rather than march out with all the
honors Of war, which the seceders did not dc
when they hastily reiterated from room 10. II
the strife had been removed from the heated
| atmosphere OF room is and the evil influence
Of the National Liberal Club some way would
have been found out Of the difficulty without
the present depiorable schism.
Al many other meetings Mr.. Parnell's diff.
| Guilty ia obtaining a hearing has been so great
that@the service Of the police have frequently
been required.
Interviews with me mbere in the lobby o. the
house OF commons vest erday showed general
| belief that Mr.. Parnell would not resign unit
| after Mir. Healy had resigned. Many McCar
| thyltes we're SO confident of the defeat of Mr.
PGrnell that they urged Mr.. Healy to make
every possible concession TO force an en-
| counter.
