! On Sunday, July 28th, one of the saddest
! boating disasters that have taken place
on the South Coast for many years occur-
| the fishing smack Zenith, owned by Mr..
| Qualtrough, OF Port st. Mary, Isle Of Man,
| but manned BY Gladmore crew, the skip
per being Mr.. John Hamilton, left Clan
dore harbor for Baltimore, having on
board 81 souls all told, namely--a crew Of
six and 81 pleasure seekers, the majority
of whom were from the village of Leap,
or from Glandore. About 10 minutes
after six o'clock the Zenith reached Balti-
more, when ali on board proceeded to land
and enjoy themselves on shore for a
couple Of hours. All got on board again
about half past nine o'clock. Nothing
further was known Of them at Baltimore
| until the early hours Of the next morning.
when the startling news was received that
the lugger had burned to the waters edge
during the night, and that nine of the illt
fated passengers had persisted. The fire,
appears, broke out in the cabin. and in
the panic that ensued rush was made for
the small punt, which was carried at the
stern, into which a dozen had crowded.
when it was sWamped, and nine of those
in it, sank to rise no more. The others
managed to work the lugger with oars
near to the rocks, on which they landed
while the lugger burned to the waters
edge. The survivors were rescued by the
coast guards. In some cases the c.rcum>
stance4atte those lost are sad in the
extreme. In one instance four members
of the same family, comprising the whole
household, save the aged father and
mother, persisted; and in another a mar
3o hoi
| from Leap or it's vicinity, leaves wife
and eight children tomourn his untimely
death. The names of those who are miss
ing are: Michael Eugene and John O'Cal-
laghan, brothers, and their sister Kate,
the latter about 10 or 20 years. Denis
Donovan, of Leap. Thomas Burke, II
years Thomas Collins, about the same
age, and d brother of one of the crew.
Mary Kelleher, OF Glandoe, about IL years
of age, and young fellow of II summers
named Cornelius Hurley, son of Skibbe-
reen baker.
At Skibbereen, on July 31st a lad named
Patrick Donovan, a pupil in the Plscatorl-
al Fishing School at Baltimore, was sen
fenced to three years in reformatory for
assaulting Sir Thomas Brady, one OF the
Governors 1.-THE school, by dealing him
blow on the head with slate, while be-
ing censured for misconduct.
An AGRICULTURAL tenant on the Penn Gas
kell estate in this district named John
Fitzgerald, was evicted recently from his
holding at Shanagarry. The sherlfs
representatives were protected by force
of police from Cloyne and Ballycotton sta
tions. No resistance was offered to the
shrieval party. The amount due was t28.
u.s. The possession of the dwelling house
| and land having been handed over to the
landlords representative, the tenant and
his family succeeded in obtaining shelter
at Ballinamona, an adjoining townland.
At the regular weekly meeting OF the
Cork National Society, on Aug. I'd, Mr..
| r. Ryan in the chair the following resolu-
ton was unanimously adopted: THAT we
emphatically condemn the foul and cal
! luminous attacks made by the (Dublin)
Weekly Independent on the respected
Bishops and priests of Cork, during the
recent election, which charges are we'll
! known to be entirely groundless by the
Catholic laity of our city; that the OBJ
iect of these charges can only be to sup
NV welcome material to the enemies of
the Irish. cause; and that on all occasions,
we welcome with pleasure the assistance
of our, clergy in the noble defense OF
faith and Fatherland.' .~
AT a special meeting Of the Mallow Ma
tional Federation the Redmondite attacks
on Catholic Priests, and especially those
of the Dublin Independent, were con-
demned in language equally as forcible as
the foregoing.
In Youghal, on THE night of August list,
military distur Dances broke out. Anuln-
Der Of men of the South Lancashire Regi-
ment paraded the principal street flourish
ing Their belts, and calling upon Irish
men to fight them. The few police who
first arrived on the scene were severely
handled; but. when reinforced, they
quickly suppressed the pot-valiant Ian
castolians," most of whom spent the re-
| naming hours of leisure In the guard
house, contemplating perspectives Of
heavy pack drill
