an active leader among the men Of the
Mas District. His defeat Of Major
Burrowes, for the craftsmanship of the
Mas poor law board. was one of the
earliest victories won for the popular
control Of the local governing boards

a sincere Irishman who worked un-
selfishly for the emancipation of the
tillers of the soil.

Very boisterous weather prevailed in
Limerick during April II and Is, and
so fierce were the gusts that an old
man named O'Keeffe, residing in Sex

tanned a fracture of one of the hips. A
man named Nunan, while working at
house in Mungret street, fell to the
ground from considerable height and
had several Of his ribs broken, as well
as other injuries. Both were removed
to Barrington's hospital, where they
were placed under the care of DR.. Nc

MAYO.
In the English House of Commons,
Mr.. John Dillon has given notice to
ask the chief secretary whether Ser
geant James Sullivan, late of Mulran-
ny, county Mayo, had been recently
suspended from duty, and If so what
was the charge on which he was sus-
pended? 1t is safe to predict that the
chief secretary will either refuse to
answer the question, or else will give
one of those positively false replies,
such as the government have been CIV
ing with regard to the war in South
Africa, and which have been exposed
and held up to scorn, on more than
one occasion, recently.

The Nationalist band had turned out
about 8 o'clock, and OH reaching the
.Gortalowry end Of the town had been
met. by an Orange drumming party,
armed with sticks, and coming from
an outlying district. The police at
this point urged tile Nationalist to re-
turn, which they did; but they We're
closely followed by the Orangemen,
who, by the whacking Of drums, groan-
ing and cheering, kept up deafenfng
uproar. At Wordsworth street corner
another Orange crowd Joined the first
one, in an attack on the Nationalist,
on whom u shower Of stones and 9TH
err missiles was poured, while the DO
lice quietly looked on. Several win
dows in Mullane's hotel were smashed,
and gentleman inside narrowly es-
capped serious injury. All along Moles-
worth street and Upper Union street
the onslaught continued; but the worst
feature of the proceedings was at the
top Of Union street, when the entire
police force drove the Nationalist
back upon their assailants, and re-
fused them permission to escape
through side street. The scene that
followed beggars description.
