AT the last meeting of the Granard
Board Of Guardians a resolution, pro-
posed by Mr.. Henry Reynolds and sec

unanimously, protesting against the ar
bitrary and illogical action of the local
government board il suspending the:
Athlone Board of Guardians for electing
as night nurse a sister whose COMPETENCY
was proved during the five years in
gratuitously nursing the poor in the very
same hospital.
DR.. George Plnnhett O'Farrell, inspec-
tor OF lunatics, recently paid a. visit Of
inspection to the Longford workhouse,
and he pays a high tribute to the care
with which the sisters supervised the

whom the Castle local government board
in their wisdom, decided were not good
enough for night nurses.

WATEREQRD

The suicide of the Marquis of Water
ford (already announce by cable), was
shown on the inquest to have been OF
the most deliberate character. He blew
the top OF his head off with a fowling
piece in his library at Curraghmore OIL
October %, even while there was a large
party of his friends assembled in the
house. e.g
Ripe strawberries, grown in the open
air at Lotus Hall gardens, were on sale
in Waterford on the 18th of October.
The threatened strike in the bacon
trade which, if carried into effect, would
have closed the establishments in Water
ford and Limerick, has been amicably
settled through the intervention of the
Most Rev. DR.. Sheehan and the mayor Of
Waterford. The seven non-union hands
in Messrs Denny's with whom the So
ciety men objected to work, have been
accepted into the society conditionally,
and thus the cause of the dispute has
been removed.

An action Of an extraordinary nature
came before County Court Judge Waters
atsthe quarter sessions at Ballinamere,
on October %. Francis Cooke, of Cor
termore, Carrigallen, brought a suit
against Acheson Cooke, his cousin, Of the
same place, to revoke a grant of admin
istration in the goods of James Cooke,
deceased, of Carrigallen, granted by the
district registrar in Cavan to Acheson
Cooke, on the ground that Acheson Cooke
was not the lawful son Of deceased, the
plaintiff allowing that. James Cooke,
father Of the defendant, and Elizabeth
Cooke, his mother, were not legally mar
ried; that they were married sixty years
ago by a buckle beggar," at Redhills,
County Cavan; that the marriage being
illegal, sAcheson Cooke was not the legal
son of James Cooke, deceased; and that
he (F'rancis Cooke), being the lawful
nephew of deceased, was entitled to have
the administration revoked and granted
to him. The judge, after hearing evil
dence that the couple had always been
known as man and wife, decided that
there was proof sufficient Of their mar
riage union. He held that the persons
were married, and dismissed the case. z

ID KERRY
One of the typical absentee Kerry
landlords, Lord Ormathwaite is now
bankrupt, going through the English
courts in an effort to make his creditors
accept a settlement at the rate of moth
ing in the pound pay their owns cents.
III stating the case of his failure, Lord
Or1lathwaite alleges inability to sell
Kerry property as one of the causes.
Yet the Kerry tenants made several Of
fers to purchase under the Ashbourne
Acts, but were thwarted by the agent,
who is none other than the notorious
George sandes. If the creditors Of the
estate give Mr.. Sandes his way there will
be soon a few more worthless evicted
farms on the estate to add to the score or
more that have been lying derelict since
their occupants were evicted, ten or
twelve years ago, for non-payment of i'm
possible rents.

native place on the 23d ult. The Re
QUEEN Office and Mass were sung in the
franciscan Church, the Bishop presid
ing. assisted by large body of the cler-
gy and laity
