DUBLIN.
On New Years Day, Alderman Meade,
J. P, was inaugurated as Lord Mayor of
Dublin for 1892, having already occupied
that Office during the year 1891. The
procession started from the Mansion

his official uniform. headed the process
sion on horseback, then came the Fire

ing H'gh-Sheriff, and the town Clerk.

KERRY.
Two policemen, Constable Patrick
Rooney and Constable McVeigh, we're
drowned in the River Flesk, about seven
miles to the east,of Killarney, on the
evening of December 26th. 1t appears
that owing to the fact of the laborers in
the employment Of the Headford and
Kenmare railway having been idle on
that day row was unprecedented. Both
the deceased constables, who were living
in the Killala hut, near Glenhesk, we're
sent across tributary of the River Flesk
by means of long planks which had been
extended across the river for short cut.
On the evening mentioned, they had pro-
ceeded to cross the river, which was
much flooded, when the plank slipped
and both mon were precipitated into the
river. A few hours after, the body OF
Constable Rooney was found in the dead
pool" and removed to the public-house
of man named Carey. The remains of
Constable McVeigh we're discovered
next evening. Constable Rooney was
unmarried and Constable McVeigh
leaves wife and family.
KILDARE.
Mr.. James Leahy, the veteran member
for South Kildare, in letter to Mr.. John
Coleman, of the Athy Labor Union, init
mates his intention of not seeking re-
election at the next general election.

he says, are likely to debar him from
fighting in the House of Commons un-
der the banner which he SO valiantly
held aloft for the last twelve years. The
people Of South Kildare will have some
thing to say before Mr.. Leahy is allowed
to retire, and we have no doubt Mr..
Leahy would be the last man in the
world to disregard the expressed wishes
of those whom he has SO worthily repre-
sented since 1880; and to whom old-time
friendships so indissolubly bind him.
KILKENNY.
A curious complication has arisen in
connection with the appointment Of sec
rotary to the mayor of Kilkenny. Hith-
