MONAGHAN.
On August 9th,a case which has gained
considerable notoriety through letter
OF Rev. W. O'Doherty, Q. O., came before
the Carrickmacross Board Of Guardians,
It was that of Brian Keelaghan, Of Cas-
lane Mountain, aged IS years, tenant
on the Shirley estate, who was some
time ago evicted. After his eviction, he
lived in an. old quarry hole on tie farm,
and as no one could be got to take up
the patch of land he had formerly oceu-
pied, he planted few potatoes thereon
which little crop was just coming into
maturity when Mr.. Gibbings, agent of
the Shirley estate, went out with some
bailiffs and assistants and cut down the
stalks, thus destroying the growth and
rendering the crop useless. The reliev-
ing officer handed in two reports from
DR.. Kisbey, medical officer of the dis
trict, showing the feebleness of the man
DR.. Cullan stated that he had been in
formed that the police went out to this
old mans place last week and threatened
to arrest him for trespassing. The chair
man said, ,''All I can say is that if they
arrest that old man and the arrest is fol-
lowed by fatal consequences, [, as ooro-
ner, and my jury will hold them respon-
sible. I warn these people that if they
do anything to cause this old mans sud
den death, I and my jury will have to
put them on trial for manslaughter. :"
The relieving officer was directed to adj
minister special relief and to report fur
Their.
SLIGO.
We very much regret to announce the
death of Mr.. Daniel Cavanagh, merchant,
Ballisodore, a member of an old and
highly respected family whose name is
almost synonymous with and is closely
identified with this picturesque and. in
teresting township. MIR. Cavanagh's
early death is deeply depl>red by all
who knew him. The funeral took place
on August 10, when the remains were
inferred in Ballisodore graveyard. The
funeral service was performed by the
Rev. Father C'Grady, G. c., Collooney.
TIPPERARY.
The overthrow of Ralfourism and coer-
cion was celebrated in the town of Tip
perary with the greatest enthusiasm and
jubilatio'', on the evening of August IL.
When darkness set in all the houses in
New Tipperary and the other principal
quarters of the town were brilliantly il
Illuminated, and portraits of Gladstone
were displayed in several windows, in
recognition of the great victory achieved
for Home Rule. At o'clock the Will
liam O'Brien Fife and Drum Band, ac-
companied by several hundred people,
turned misunderstanding that a
drenching downpour Of rain was falling
and paraded the streets of the town.
The greatest excitement prevailed dur
ing the night, and loud and ringing
cheers were sent up for the National
Party by the large crowd that thronged
the streets. The police were present on
the streets in large numbers, but made
no effort to interfere with the procession.
Their conduct on the occasion was in
striking contract with their behavior in
the town for the past three years when
any rejoicing of similar character took
place.
TYRONE.
In Caledon, on the night of August
9Th, the Nationalist fife and drum band
turned out and paraded the streets for
some time. An Orange drumming party
from the country, and the Killylea ''True
Blue" Band entered the town at the mo-
ment the Nationalist band was parading
the main thoroughfare. The Orange
men commenced making use of party
expressions and brandishing weapons,
with which they we're all supplied, and
from their menacing attitude it was
feared riot would ensue. A force of
some thirty police under the command of
County Inspector T. A. White, Omagh,
and District Inspector Gamble, Augh-
nacloy, were on duty in the village.
County Inspector White approached the
members of the Nationalist band and
urged on them-in the interests of peace
the necessity of retiring down the
street. They did SO; but the ''loyalists,''
being more than aggressive, attacked the
Catholics while in bye-street with a
volley Of stones, and subsequently made
rush for the quarters in which the
Catholics were located, but were re-
pulsed by the police. Ultimately the
Orangemen reiterated to their hall, but
in short time again appeared on the
street to escort the Killylea brethren
homewards. When opposite Messrs.
