MEATH.
On May Both, Mr.. Patrick Fullam, ex-
M. P. for South Meath, was served with
q bankruptcy notice by the law agent Of
the unsuccessful Parnellite candidate,
Mr.. Dalton, ex-M. p, for the non pay
ment of the costs Of the recent election
petition, by which Mr.. Fullam was un-
seated. Like MI. Davitt Mr.. Fullam de-
clares that he will 60 to Jail rather than
pay those costs, which have been heaped
on him by parties against whom the peo-
pie have twice decided by their votes.
RosCOMMON.
There is special interest attaching to
the work which Rev. Father Mannion,
P. p, OF Elphin, has BET himself in the
erection of church suitable to the grow
ing religious needs of his parishioneers
In Ireland there is no site Of wider or
more historic interest than the site
where the new building is to stand.
Tradition tells that, in the year 433.
Prince Ona made an offering of his pal
ace to the apostle of Ireland. This St.
Patrick converted into the church Of
Elphin, which stands today on the same
site, close to the grassy margin of a
stream which flows from two fountains
close at hand. But the church, as years
rolled by, proved wholly insufficient for
the accommodation of the parishioners.
An enlargement, amounting to a new
building, is sorely, needed, and this
Father Naming, with a characteristic
zeal, has set himself to accomplish. The
interesting historic remains will be care
fully and reveren,ly preserved in the
new building. The church Of Elphin,
while fulfilling its primary object as a
place Of worship, commcdious and beau
tiful, will lose nothing of the historic il
terest with which it abounds.

On Sunday, May 28th, great Nation
al1st demonstration was held near Dun
uaden. which was addressed by Mr.. P.

condemn the practice of land grabbing.

large force of police present When the
various contingents approached they
were informed by she officer of police In
charge that he had instructions not to
allow them any further. AS, however,
the point which the people had reached
was convenient and suitable for their

meeting there. Mr.. McHugh informed
the district Inspector that those who &C.
G ,mpanied him had no intention or de-
sire to come into collision With the pres
ent Government, Or to create riot or
disturbances. It would, he said, be con-
trary to the interests of the people to do
SO, and they would content themselves
by protesting and holding their meetings
elsewhere The crowd, numbering sew
eral thousand, and including contingents
from Ballymote, Bunnanadden, Carlow
castle, Roskey, county Mayo, etc., then
adjourned to field close at hand. The
chair was taken by Rev. Father McDer
