It is announced in Redmondite circles
that the O'Donoghue, Of Ballinahown
Court, county Westmeath, has written to
Killarney expressing his determination
to contest the parliamentary division Of
East Kerry, at the ensuing general cleo
ton, against Mr.. j. D. Sheehan. The
O'Donoghue's grandfather, Sir John
Ennis, formerly represented Athlone-in
the interest of the Castle government
Wing or Tory, as the case might be-
with distinguished impartiality.
The four young men who were arrested
charged with being concerned in the at
tack on the house OF the farmer, Blenner-
hassett, at Glouneentha, near Castle
island, some time ago, have been dis
charged. No evidence was adduced
against them.

gentleman arrived in Kilkenny, on May
23rd, from Dublin, and it was his inten-
ton to proceed next morning to his
country residence, Kilfane, Thomastown,
when he was suddenly attacked by an
appolectic fit, towhich he succumbed de-
spite unUiring medical aid rendered by
Drs. Hackett and James, who were called
to attend him. Lady Power, who was
away in Malahde, arrived next evening,
and the remains were removed shortly
afterwards to Kilfane. Sir Richard
Power was extremely popular among all
classes, and by none will his loss be re-
GREETED more than by his Kilkenny ten
antry, with whom he always lived on the
most friendly terms. He was twice
High Sheriff of Kilkenny, and was for a
number of years associated with the diff
ferent governing boards of the county.

On the 9th of May, an inquest was held
by Coroner Gowing, on the body of Mr..
James Dawson, late of Raheenbeg House,
Geashill, who had been found lying on
the public road, within short distance
of that town, in an insensible state on
the previous morning. 1t seems that, on
the night before, number of persons
had held mock trail on him-a custom
in the district-in the National School
house at Geashill, when he was con-
demned to be imprisoned in an clubhouse,
and that afterwards, as stated at the in
quest, he was found at considerable
distance from the place. The medical
evidence went to show that death had
resulted from fracture of the spinal COL
umn. Whether he met his death by
accident or by violence was not arrived
at by the jury, who gave an open verdict
pending magisterial investigation"
into the circumstances. It is stated
that an order has been forwarded by the
Castle authorities to Captain Stokes,
Divisional Commissioner at Mnllingar,
to hold public inquiry, and that at the
Quarter Sessions, at Tullamore, all pre-
llminary arrangements will become to.
