CARLOW.
On the afternoon OF Dec. IL, fatal
accident occurred to man named John
Burroughs, at Greenhil, Carlow
Graigue. Burroughs had loaded on a
cart a trunk OF tree, about twenty
eight hundred weight, and, finding the
horses back overweighted, went about
adjusting the burden. He had the chain

cart loosened, and, on attempting to

der, it slipped and rolled from the cart,
striking poor Burroughs and killing
him on the spot.
DUBLIN.
The death OF Professor T. w. Glover
occurred in Dublin, OH Dec. 10, after a
short illness. His career, both as citi
zen OF Dublin and a musician, possess
ing rare accomplishments, is we'll
known, 1t may be said that his death
has severed the last link between the
Irish musicians OF the present day and
those who fourished in the iorties, and
even earlier-of whom Bale, Wallace
and Levey may be mentioned, with all
OF whom Professor Glover was person.
ally acquainted. Born in 1915, he first
became an orchestral musian in 1890
He succeeded Haydn CORR as organist
OF the Pro-Cathedral, in Marlboro
street, i'll I84S, after which he became
professor OF music to the National
Board OF Education. The late profess
sor's many admirers will be glad to
know that, up to the last, he enjoyed
iull possession OF his faculties; and he
passed peacefully away, at the advanced
age OF over fourscore years, having we'll
earned the esteem of all true lovers OF
Irish music.

At the last quarterly meeting OF the
Fermanagh County Council, held in the
Courthose, Enniskillen, Sir Douglas
Brooke presiding, a resolution was re-
ceived from the Sligo Corporation, call
ing upon the Irish members OF parlia-
ment to use their best endeavors to
have the clause in the Catholic Emanci-
patton Act OF 1929, excluding from
Great Britain and ireland, all Jesuits,
friars, and monks, revoked as soon as

! posed the adoption OF the resolution,

GALWAY.
What called, in official Castle par
lance, a Sworn inquiry is going on,
the subject being the condition OF the
Loughrea Workhouse, which, for long
while past, has been known to be in a
I very unsatisfactory state, both as to
sanitary needs, and disciplinary defcien-
cies The Guardians were urgent for
immediate action to supply the needed
wants and corrections; but the repre-
sentative of the local government board
in Dublin Castle-Major Fair-blandly
informed the Guardians that they
might, probably have a communica-
ton from the local government board
in about two or three weeks. Mean
while the inmates OF the house must
get on as best they could, and live or
die, OF hunger or fever, as the case
might be. That was their affair; and
the local government board had moth
ing to do with it. The old regime OF
the Famine years" would seem to be
still in force i'll the Loughrea district;
and the rate-payers do not find that
their burdens are any lighter.

Kildare in support OF the principles OF
the United Irish League was held at
Clane, and was a most enthusiastic one,
representative OF the district around,

the harmony OF the occasion. The
voices and the cheering OF the assem-
blage left no doubt as to the sentiments
OF the Kildare people on the Boer war

cillor, efficiently filled the chair, and the
meeting was eloquently addressed by
