WATERFORD.

About 2 o'clock On Sunday morning,
August 2, the citizens of Waterford were
alarmed when the Protestant Cathedral
bells pealed for the the customary init
nation that a fire had broken out.
Crowds rushed from their beds to find
the rear portion Of the premises of the
large drapery firm of Messrs. James
Hearne & Co. enveloped in flames. The
fire brigade. under Sergt. Collins, were
promptly en- hand and at work. Had
they been ten minutes later the whole
block of buildings would have been de-
stroyed. AS 1t was, the rear part of the
premises was beyond hope of saving.
For time Cummins' Hotel was in
great danger, and the fear was of the
adjoining premises, Mr.. Bells extensive
oil stores, catching fire, which would
mean the total destruction of the entire
block, including the drapery firms OF
Messrs. Tobin and Messrs. Robertson,
Ledlie and Ferguson. 1t is impossible
at present to accurately say what tho
loss is, but roughly it is set down as
over $500, which was not wholly in
sured. Great sympathy Is felt for Mr..
Hearne. who is most popular and re-
spected merchant.

tended at Sheeprange, about four miles
from Drogheda, to carry out an eviction,
at suit of Mr.. B. R. T. Balfour, D. L.,
of Townley Hall, against Mrs. Gather
inc Marry. The land is poor, consisting
largely Of mountain, and the tenant was
only enabled to pay the rent for several
years through the labor OF her four
sons, who worked the farm. A large
number OF friends of the tenant attend
ed. including the respected and patriotic
parish priest, Rev. Thomas Taaffe, Tul-
lyallen. It was admitted in the course
Of a long negotiation for settlement
that the tenant and her sons were
among the most hard-worklng and in
dustrious of the farmers Of Louth: and
eventually her friends-Father Taffee
and Messrs. Drew and Elcock-sooner
than she should be evicted. arrived at
a settlement with the agent, Mr.. Dol
ling the tenant to pay e1O0, and Messrs.
w. Wynne. j. P. Colon, for the land
lord, and Joseph Lowry. aucttoneer,
Kells. for the tenant. to fix a fair rent.
with power to appoint an umpire in case
Of disagreement. The eviction was
therefore abandoned.

GALWAY.

On August 3 the Grand Bazaar and
Fete. at Eyre square, Galway, was for
mally opened by the Bishop of Galway,
Most Rev. DR.. MacCormack. The ba-
zaar was held in aid of the movement
for the restoration of St. Patrick's
church, an edifice that among all those
dedicated to the patron saint of Ireland
has undergone such vicissitudes as prob
ably could not be recorded of any other
modern parish church in the island. The
church, owing to complications arising
from short leases and separate titles to
the site and the ground over which the
right of way to the entrance passes, had
to be closed by the bishop thirty-ive
years ago. The recent bazaar was de-
signed to aid in it's reopening, move
ment into which Rev. Father Dooley, P.
p, has thrown himself with character
istic energy and enthusiasm. The fete
was. in reality, grand carnival, sup
ported by an amount of talent and in
fluence rarely brought together except
for the promotion of great charitable
objects.

ton. 1t was not till thirteen years
afterward, with the exception Of
a flying visit from the Duke Of
Edinburgh. that royalty again favored
us. On April 8. 1883, the Prince and
Princess Of Wales and their eldest son
Albert Victor, Duke of Clarence. arrived
in kingstown. and drove by rail to Dub
lin, where they received respectful
but Indifferent reception from the peo-
pie. OF course the usual addresses, de.
monstrations and illuminations were in
evidence. On this occasion the party WIS.,
tied the slums OF Dublin to inquire
into the condition of the poor
OF Dublin, but they have
not up to this made their report. A
levee and drawing-room were held by
the Prince of Wales and also state
ball in Dublin castle. The royal party
then went on a visit to the south Of Ire.
land. including Curraghmore, Lord Wat.
erford's residence. 1t was while en-
route that the serious disturbances oc
CURED at Mallow. Here the Tory sec.
ticn Of the town commissioners had de-
cided on presenting an address. AS a
protest a strong Nationalist demonstra-
ton was held outside the station, as
the people would not be admitted inside
where military. police and select few
interspersed with detectives, only we're
assembled. These raised cheer when
the royal train arrived. and this was re-
sronded to by storm of groans by the
people outside whose bands rendering
God Save Ireland" completely drowned
the very staid efforts of the military
musicians inside playing the National
Anthem" In the din the address of the
Tory commissioners was not read nor
reply given by the prince. At the
great Nationalist meeting subsequently
held the police grossly attacked the
people. when severe injuries were in
cured. and Mr. r. Harrington, M. P.
was seriously assaulted. The "recep.
tlnn" intended by the Tories of Mallow
for the prince was frustrated, and, doubt
less. the disappointment felt by tina
police officials influenced them in the
understandable attack on the people. This
incident closes the chapter of royal Wis.

WICKLOW.

On August 6 a fire broke out at "Ra-
hara,' one of the magnificent villas be-
longing to Mr.. Robert Smith, situated in
Novara avenue, Bray. The fire brigade
were promptly on the spot, when it was
found that the fire had complete pos
session of the upper portion of the re-
turn building and had encroached con-
siderably on the main building. The
firemen, however, succeeded in combining
it to the upper story The roof Of the
return building soon fell in, and several
of the men had narrow escapes The
main building, except portion of the
roof was saved; but the ceilings and
floors were injured by the water, and
the damage is estimated at $780, The
building was insured. Miss Westropp,
an old lady, who was tenant of the
house, and had very narrow escape,
received every attention and kindness
from Mrs William Hall, who also kind
ly stored furniture and valuables re-
moved from the burning building.

WESTMEATH.

A popular and prominent figure in
Westmeahh has been removed by the
unexpected death of Mr. Richard Dowl-
ing, National School Teacher. Monilea.
which occurred on July 20. The de-
ceased, who was slightly over 40 years
of age, had been engaged in the service
of the Education Board for close on rs
years, during which time he gained the
esteem, respect and good will of the
people with whom he came into con-
tact. From under his charge some men
who now occupy prominent and leading
positions in the world and in the church
passed, and it is no idle boast to say that
he was one of the most successful teach
ers in the Midland Counties. He held
first rank as teacher, and was secre-
tary of the Mullingar Teachers Asso-

The news of the death of Father
Dempsey, the respected parish priest Of
Ballinakill, was received with deep re-
gret, especially by the clergy Of Kildare
and Leighlin. of whom he was one Of
the oldest and most respected members.
The grief of his flock for their deceased
pastor was great indeed, for he had spent
half his days among them. having min
istered to them for over thirty-five
years. His illness was somewhat pro-
longed, having extended over some
months. Recently it became clear it
was taking fatal turn, and according
ly he received the last sacraments, and
on July 30 he passed to his eternal re-
ward.

The salmon fishing season ON the
Lower Shannon-from Limerick to the

1t has been to all concerned. Not a
tenth Of the fish has been caught this
year as compared with former years.
The drift-net fishermen are pauperized,
as they did not average five shillngs
week for man during the year, and
how they kept body and soul together
is mystery to everyone. The seasons
in this fishery are going from bad to
worse, and 1t Is high time that some
inquiry was instituted as to the cause
of the decline of this cnce important in
