Is DERRY. &:
On Sunday, September 18th, in Derry,
the funeral took place Of an old man
named James Kelly, recalling one Of the.
fercest and bloodiest party outrages
that in recent times have taken place IN
Ulster. In November, 1883, the Lord
Mayor OF Dublin (Alderman Charles
Dawson was invited to Derry to deliver
a long promised lecture on the franchise,
and for this purpose the Nationalists
had secured the use of the Town Hall
from the Corporation, by the ordinary
formal procedure. On the day Of the
Lord Mayors arrival the Corporation
met, and party prejudice having been
reused in the meantime, that body re-
voked their order granting the use of the
hall. The Orange and Apprentice Boy
party, however, not waiting for any au-
thority. had previously seized the build
ing, and turned it into fortress. Pres
byterian clergmsn and other notables
harrangued them, and the windows and
parapet roof of the hall were occupied by
revolver men, who opened fire on the
Nationalist procession, Kelly, among
others, fell under this murderous attack,
bullet having entered his eye destroy
ing his sight. He was confined for long
time to hospital, enduring greet agony.
When turned out he was all but help
less, and his death had closed a period
of great hardship and physical suffering.
He did not get any compensation, and
before his death had passed into very
poor circumstances, owing to inability
from his injuries to work at his trade.
He leaves widow, an aged woman, in
utter poverty.

! What Removable Captain L'Estrange
Regarded as the "lbel" on his de-
cision in the case of the army pensioner
was, probably, the criticism of
the London Chronicle on the ruling
against Rogan for cheering for Home
Rule, in which he expressed his surprise
"that a pensioner should be guilty of
such disloyal conduct" The Chronicle
expresses the hope that another surprise
is in store for the magistrate, which
L'Estrange evidently Interpreters as an
expectation that he will get his walking
papers from the comfortable berth he
now enjoys.
! On the night of the Goth of September
there was great popular rejoicing at
Ardcarne, the occasion being the return
home of Mr.. Alfred Bell, with his re-
Gently welded bride, after short hon
eymoor. The neighbors made a great
bonfire near the grand gate and met the
carriage coming home from the 8 p. m.
train with freballs and torches. A large
crowd, chiefly youngsters, followed the
carriage, cheering Justify, and, after en-
Toying themselves around the bonfire for
some hours, and admirlDg the fireworks,
they all retired to a large barn, where,
between dancing and singing, and speak
ing and drinking, the company enjoyed
themselves thoroughly until the small
hours Of morning. The ladies from the
"big house, paid visit to the barn and
danced and sang, to the delight of the
company. Mr.. Gilmartin was called on
for speech, and said it was pleasant to
have the gentry and peasantry on good
terms, and if all the gentry were like the
Bells, they would be loved by the peo-
pie as the Bells were.
KERRY.
Mr.. Leonard has called upon Lord
Kenmare's tenants, by public posters, to
come into the estate Office with the rent,
Immediately. Considering the number
of seizures that are taking place on the
property, one would be inclined to think
that there were very few behind time in
this respect. These seizures are strongly
condemned by the tenants.
