SLIGO.
We deeply regret to have to announce
the death, in the And year Of her age, of
Mrs. Kate Mary Murray, Radcliffe street,
Sligo, wife of Mr.. Thomas Murray, wine
and spirit merchant. Mrs. Murray was,
with the exception of one brother in
Australia, the last of the family of the
Eccles's, an old and very much respected
Sligo family. Mr.. Murray carried on q
very successful business in Glasgow for
a number of years. Afterwards he trans
ferred his establishment to Sligo, where
he has been equally successful. The de-
ceased lady, who had suffered from a
long and protracted illness, was highly
popular, and her untimely death is q
subject Of much regret to 9 very large
circle of friends and acquaintance. On
April 5th, solemn Requiem Mass was
celebrated in the Cathedral for the re-.
pose of her soul, and Immediately after
wards her remains we're removed for in
terment in the cemetery. The large and
respectable funeral, which was attended
by the clergy and all the leading mer-
chants and representative men of Sligo
was proof OF the esteem in which the
deceased lady was held.
TIPPERARY.
At the quarterly meeting of the clon-
mel Town Council a resolution was
passed approving of the Home Rule bill,
but asking that the financial clauses
should be remede]led, so as to be made
more favorable to Ireland.
TYRORE.
On the night of April 8, intelligence
reached the Coalisland constabulary that
a house belonging to laborer named
Michael McGarry, in the townland of
Drumreagh, two miles from Coalisland,
had been wrecked, between ten and
eleven o'clock. Next morning Constables
McKeon and Gladden. repaired to the
place, and found the statement correct.
On examination Of the premises they
found two windows completely smashed,
and McGarry's wife with deep cash on
the side of the head, inflicted by stone.
In the interior of the house fortyse seven
paving stones were found. 1t appears
that when some Orangemen were about
to start to attend the opening of an Or
ange hall at Lindsay Villa, a. woman in
the crowd charged McGarry's wife with
assaulting one of the members of the
lodge. A fight ensued between the two
women, and the drumming party inter
vened between them, and afterwards
wrecked McGarry's house. The Nc
Garry family is the only Catholic one
living in that locality, and the Orange
men want to drive them out. No arrests
have been made.

his lodgings in High street. He was the
