Mr.. Alex. O'Rourke, solicitor, died

down, and was saved from further Vio-

in his hand and threatening to fire if
they did not desist. A large crowd
collected and drove the cattle away,
and the seizure had to be abandoned.
The bailiffs then proceeded to Denis

seized three COWS and drove them some
distance, when a large crowd, assem-

so the seizure in this case had also to
be abandoned.
1t is with the most sincere regret that
we record the death of Mr.. William
Thompson of Rathnally, County Meath,
j. P. for Meath and Cavan. Mr..
Thompson was the son of the late Will
liam Thompson, ]. p, of Rathnally,
Trim. and Ross Hsuse, Mount Nugent
County Meath (who was at the time of
his death senior magistrate for the
counties of Meath and Cayan). This
deceased was a man of most retiring
disposition, greatly esteemed, not only
by his tenants, but by all with whom
he came in contact.
His death recalls a historic episode, as
his grandfather, Skeffington Thompson,
contested the borough of Trim against
Arthur Wellesley, Duke of Wellington.
The contest resulted in the return of
his grace by a very small majority, but
the result was contested by Skeffington
Thompson on appeal on the plea that
his grace was several days under age
at the date of the election. The plea
was rejected by the appellate tribunal,
with the result that the election cost
Mr.. Thompson 100000 sum that is
still charged upon the estate, the in
terest of which is payable to and re-
ceived by the representatives of the
late Lord Chief Justice LEROY.

Mr.. Edward Mccarthy, st. Alphonsus

seas making a clean breach over her.
Mccarthy whose vessel. the Wilhel-
nina, was in port, volunteered, with
other seamen, to try and reach her, but
the boat in which they made the at
tempt was swamped in the tremendous
surf, and three men drowned the re-
mainder, including Mccarthy, being
washed on shore more dead than alive.
Seventeen of those on board the
wrecked steamer were also lost.
Mr.. Dillon, NJ. P. was the principal
speaker on Friday at a United Irish
League demonstration in Roscommon.
In the course of his speech he said
that instead of wildly cheering for the
Beers the Irish people should initiate,
even to a slight degree, their example
but by different weapons. They should
show themselves in earnest by banding
together in their organization and
make it hot for the landlords and graz
iers. Why should they allow anyone
who had grabbed a farm take his
in Roscommon by hunting
over their fields? They should support
their movement in every way, so that
the graziers and landlords would have
no seat on a county council or any
other board. If they fought with one
twentieth the energy of the Beers they
would soon bring the landlords and
graziers to grief. Mr.. Dillon denounced
Judge Ross for prostituting his court
by misusing public money.
From the I.ebel City. u
Cork Correspondence Dublin Freeman.) |
We had two very important meetings
of our city branch of the u l. L. dur
ing the last week-one on Wednesday |
night and the other on Friday night. |
AT the first meeting the approaching |
elections were discussed. and |
it was decided, very wisely, on the sug- |
gestion of Mr.. Augustine Roche, T. c.,
that the situation should be discussed |
between representatives of the organ
ization and representatives of the La
Dor party. The interests of both bodies. |
it may be said, are common, and there
fore there is no reason why national
ist and labor candidates should be
found opposing each other. The labor
party, to their credit and patriotism be
it said, have so far given, as in the
past, unstinted support to the national
and they may be relied
on to do nothing now that would tend
to weaken its influence or strength in
this city.

we venture to say, does not record a
