RETURNED OFFICIALS.

Chief Of Detectives William Sullivan
returned home Monday from a weeks
visit to Chicago, where he was the guest
II Capt. Colleran, who is at the head of
the detective bureau of that city. Chief
Sullivan has rapidly come to the front,
and today has the respect and confidence
of the most prominent police officials in
the country. He has brought his force
to high standard, which accounts for
the wide berth given Louisville by the
criminal classes.
Billy Bosler, the popular Bailiff of the
City Court, also returned Monday from
French Lick Springs, greatly benefited by
the visit. While there he distinguished
himself as a fire fighter. He was the
chief actor in the suppression of confla-
grafton at one of the social functions of
the week, and the way in which he
handled his forces won for him praises
that would have made the veteran Major
Hughes jealous had it occurred here.

committees have provided for amuse-
ments of various kindssincluding concert
and dancing music, to which the two

fence of all.

FIRST OPEN HOUSE.
Social Season to Be lnaug-
urated by Division |
August 8.

Division of the Ancient Order of
Hibernians intended to inaugurate the
social season at its meeting Tuesday even
ing, but postponed the affair to August
8. Owing to the picnic of Division the
evening before and the jubilee, many
could not attend.
After the transaction of routine bust
ness and the installation of Secretary
Thomas Dolan the members of the Silver
Jubilee Committee were rendered rising
vote of thanks for the pleasing and salts
factory manner in which they performed
the many duties devolving upon them.
The members showed their apprecia-
ton of the services of Treasurer John
Mulloy, and set an example which might
be followed with profit by the other
divisions.
After several short and interesting talks
by visitors and members, Messrs. John
Mulloy, Thomas Dolan, Mike lyman,
Mark Ryan and David O'Connell were
appointed a committee that will soon
prepare new degree.
An invitation was received through
sJohn Barrett to visit Division 2 and wit
ness its new form of initiation, which
was accepted. This will perhaps lead TO
a Joint interest in all amusement matters
during the coming winter.
Every member of the division should
be present at the next meeting to give
the visitors hearty welcome.

caused great excitement from one end of
the State to the other.
That this step upon the part of the ex-
Governor will greatly complicate matters
there can be no doubt He is popular
and has large following in all parts of
the State, the only charge ever brought
against him being that he was at times
somewhat peevish or cross, but his integ-
rity and honesty are known and admitted
by every man in Kentucky.
There are few, if any, ADLER men in the
State, and the record he made while oc-
cupying the Executive chair at Frankfort
gives him an added prestige. There is
no doubt in the minds of the thinking peo-
pie of his receiving large vote. Should
the Republicans heal their differences the
outlook for the success of their ticket is
very favorable, and from present indica-
tons they are making every effort to line
up that party in solid phalanx.
During the week the press dispatches
contain reports of meetings being held in
various parts of the State calling for the
nomination of new ticket and the with
drawal of Senator Goebel, which are
given great prominence in the anti
Goebel papers. On the other hand, news
comes of large and enthusiastic meetings
indorsing the Democratic ticket now in
the field, with the assurance that there is
no disaffection in the ranks of the party,
and that the meetings of the opposition
are absolute fzzles. They take a very
sanguine view of the situation. These
reports are all colored to conform with
the policy Of the papers publishing them
A telegram was received Thursday after
noon by Major Galloway from Major
Johnston, of Lexington, late Chairman
of the State Committee, announcing his
willingness to accept the nomination for
Lieutenant Governor on the ticket with
John Young Brown. Many prominent
men are mentioned for other places on
the ticket, among them Harvey Myers,
June Gayle, William Owens, Col. Breck-
inridge and c. w. Metcalfe.
There was a meeting of the newly
elected Democratic State Central Com
mittee and number of candidates at
Frankfort Tuesday. at which il was de-
cided to appoint campaign committee
consisting Of two from each Congressional
district and three from the State at large
Ex-senator Joe Blackburn was selected as
Chairman and accepted the place. The
other two members on the committee
from the State at large are Hon. John ID.
Clardy and ex-Gov. James B. McCreary.
The two names from each Congressional
district were to DE announced in few
days following.
1t has been stated that the campaign
will be lively one from opening to fin
ish. and that it will be opened within two
weeks by Senator Blackburn and Mr..

Goebel, who will make speeches at May
field or some large town in the First dis
trict.
The Republican State Central Commit
tee held session at the Louisville Hotel
Tuesday afternoon, while the Democrats
were meeting in Frankfort. They named
State Treasurer George w. Long as
Chairman of their campaign committee,
with James f. Buckner, of this city, and
Congressman Sam Pugh as the other two
members from the State at large. R. L.
Gwathmey will represent the Fifth dis
trict on the committee. All of the Re-
publican candidates were present. Attor-
ney General Taylor delivered the
principal address to the committee,
which adjourned after a short but har-
monious session.
The State convention of the Populists
met at Frankfort Thursday, delegates
being present from all the districts. They
think this is their opportunity and feel
confident of success.
The political stream is muddy, and
when it will clear up no one can tell.
The Kentucky Irish American will en-
deavor to furnish its readers with a
reliable synopsis of the situation from
week to week, without debating what
course they should pursue, something not
done by any other paper in Louisville.

But her home is surely there.
Angels fold their wings and rest
In that Eden of the West,
Beauty's home, Killarney,
Heavens reflex, Killarney.

At last the Lakes of Killarney have
fallen in the hands of citizen of Amer
lea, the second home of Ireland, says a
special to the New York Journal.
A. G. Peck, of Cohoes Falls, N. ",
has bought the Muckross estates, on the
Lakes of Killarney, about which there
has been so much talk. The price paid
was 637 900, approximately $lS5,O0O, in
the money which Mr.. Peck made as a
manufacturer of axes in this country.
Americans with a love for the Emerald
Isle have of late shown decided inclina-
ton to purchase these lovely and historic
lakes.
First it was Howard Gould. He took
his bride, who was Katherine Clemmons,
to the winding bays and woodland
dells." She was entranced and asked
for them of her millionaire husband.
But the sale was not made.
Then it was Richard Croker, who,
his triumphs thick upon him, also longed
for them. He did not purchase them,
however.
The fever for the possession of the
Lakes of Killarney spread. 1t seized the
blood of President James Coogan, of the
Borough of Manhattan, and of John F.
Carroll, vice boss of Tammany, and Of
Senator George w. Plunkitt. This syndi-
cate concluded that it must have the
lakes.
But lakes that have been sung and land
that has been chronicled are not immune
from the law of supply and demand. The
price of the lakes steadily rose as Irish
real estate agents heard that Irish-Ameri-
cans were anxious to have them. The
first price asked was 100000. The
Standard Insurance Company, of Scot
land, held mortgage of 100000. 1t
offered to accept payment of 1000
and take a second mortgage for the re-
mainder.
But while the Erin-loving Americans
were hesitating, the price of Killarney
was not; so Mr.. Peck is considered lucky
in getting them for $lS5,O0O.
The Muckross estate is magnificent and
beautiful. 1t includes the demesne and
home farm, comprising about 400 acres
of arabic land and plantations, including
Brickeen and Dris islands and the old
abbey in the grounds overlooking the
lower lake.
There is besides the demesne of Lord
Brandon, on the upper lake, with its fine
residence. Glebe House sits cottages, deer
forests and its thIckly wooded plantations
of Tonnes. Purple Mountain and one
part of Cabernabone and part of Mauger-

ton and Tore. This estate includes also
about 10000 acres in all, in which are
the famous cascades known of O'Sulli-
vans and Tore.
The famous Muckross abbey comprises
the we'll preserved ruins of a monastery
founded by Chief Mccarthy for the Fran
ciscan friars. 1t has braved the storms
of 500 years, and except the roof, which
fell victim to the Cromwellians, it is to
all appearances fit TO endure the vicissi
tudes of another century or two.
Mr.. Peck, who is reported to have made
the purchase, formerly conducted two
axe factories at Cohoes, living with his
family at Lansingburg, where he was
popular. He failed few years ago, and
was afterward reported living in Europe
in fine style. He is now residing in Lon
don.
The axe factory is now being con-
Quoted by son. The Peck family is
highly respected and moves in the best
circles.

FATHER BARRON'S DEATH
Cut Off in the Prime of Life.
His Funeral the Largest
in Years.

Deep regret was caused throughout Ire
land by the death of the Rev. Michael
Barron, administrator of St. Johns
Cathedral, Waterford. Father Barron
was a native of Knockeen, County
Waterford, and was educated at St.
Johns College. The first years of his
priesthood were spent in New-castle-on-
Tyne and West Hartlepool, where he
labored with unselhsh devotion. He re-
turned after seven years of hard work,
and was subsequently appointed to his
late position. In the city he was held in
deep regard, and beloved for his gener-
Gus disposition and for the zeal with
which he attended to his sacred duties.
Cut off in the prime of life his death has
naturally caused great shock not alone
to his parishioners but to the whole
Catholic community.
The funeral of the dead prelate took
place from the Cathedral on Saturday.
Previous to removing the body to its last
resting place Office and high mass was Of
fered. The clergy who oficiated were
Rev. Father Fitzgera-dfscelebrant; Father
Calvin, deacon; Father Norris, sub
deacon, and Fathers Furlong and O'Con-
nell, chanters. The Right Rev. DR..
Sheehan, Bishop of Waterford, presided.
The cortege was the largest and most im-
posing seen in Waterford for many years.
After the hearse followed 1865 carriages,
in which we're all the leading citizens of
Waterford and many members of the
Corporation, while Immediately after the
hearse walked sixty-four priests. Several
carriages were filled with wreaths.

County President John A. Murphy is
expected to outline the policy to be fol-

recommendation that will, if carried out,
greatly assist in increasing the member
ship of the order in this city and county.
The yearly reports of the officers will be
submitted and also complete returns from
the Fourth of July celebration.
Besides the foregoing, matters of inter
est to both members and divisions will
come before the body for action. The
County Board as now constituted is one
of the most able and representive in the
history of the order, and a lively year
may be looked for in Hibernian circles.

A most impressive scene was witnessed
at the Dominican church Sunday morn
ing. when the members of the St. Vim

similar occasion.

PEELED to join the throng in having a
good time.
Denny Coleman and James Barry ably
represented their divisions. Some can
not understand their trip out south Of
Lion Garden. May be it was 40 meet the
incoming car.
There was better representation from
the other divisions than at any preceding
picnic, and the crowd surpassed that of
the Fourth of Iuly.
