CORK.
Up to the latest advices from Cork
Dune 3, there was no change in the
state of affairs connected with the
strike at the gas works. The only
thing new is that for some days DR.. ].
G. Curtis, Cork, has been holding an
inquiry under the factory acts, at the
gas works, into the cause Of the explo-
sion by which the large gasometer was
blown up and destroyed. The strikers
deny all connection with it, and claim
THAT 1T was caused by the new hands,
in their ignorance, overcharging the
gas-holder.
CLARE.
Mrs. William G.. Duncan, accompa-
MED by her sister, Miss Harriet M.
Donnellan, arrived at their home in
Midtown Malbay last week, from Ards
ley, New York. Mrs. Duncan will visit
| there for some months and will leave
for home in the fall. Miss Donnellan
crossed on the Campania last Septem-
Der for to visit her sister and in the
concert given on board the steamer
she distinguished herself in rendering
several sweet selections of Irish music.
This was an event which will be long
remembered by all who had the pleas
ure to be passengers on that trip. They
are both delighted to get back to the
Emerald Isle once more to visit the
scenes of their childhood, and their
many friends gave them a hearty
"Cead Mile Failthe."
DOWN.
| On Monday evening, June 3, a das-
tardly outrage was perpetrated at Clan
varaghan, about two miles from Castle
wellan. 1t appears that the BallywiN
Orange Band, with it's usual following,
was having march through the coun-
try. and when passing the Roman
Catholic church at Clanvaraghan, one
Of the windows was smashed with
stones. Two policemen who accompa-
MED the procession, the district being
a Nationalist one, made an examination
of the church, and found inside por-
ter bottle, which it is alleged was
thrown by one of the band followers.
DUBLIN.
At the meeting of the Dublin town
council, on June 8, Alderman Farrell
moved: '"That this council represent
ing the citizens Of Dublin, hereby ten
ders to the relatives of the late Mr..
James Stephens an expression of its
most sincere sympathy, and takes this
opportunity Of placing on record it's
love for, and approval of, the men who
rose in the dark and evil days and
risked their lives for the freedom of
Ireland" Mr.. Byrne seconded the mo-
ton. Mr.. Brown said he could not al
low the motion to pass without q
strong protest. Alderman Ireland said
they were there to attend to the affairs
OF the citizens, and he objected conse-
quently to such motion as the pres
ent. The motion, however, was put to
tine meeting, and, on division, carried
by 81 votes to 8, the only members vot-
ing against it being Messrs. Browne,
Ireland and Beattie.
GALWAY.
kylemore Castle still remains unsold.
The bidding at the attempted auction
in Dublin on June 4, fell far short of
even the most modest estimate of it's
! value, and Mr.. North withdrew the
sale. The place may now be disposed
OF by private treaty. Kylemore, as
beautiful in it's way as Killarney, de-
ponds for its attraction on it's beauty.
The house, the perfection of modern
architecture, has, Of course, no his
toric interest; and new men with
money have a proverbial laundering
after old acres. 1.-The millionaire of to-
day likes to get as much old-time TO
nance as possible into his bargain.
Few wealthy men like Mr.. Mitchell
Henry build fairy palaces for them
selves; and fewer still are willing to
buy new house of another's building.
1t is so, perhaps, that this gem of ar
chitecture in setting of rarest scenic
beauty fails to tempt possessors of full
purses. Only a little over thirty thou
sand pounds was offered for the house
and demesne, which must have cost
Mr.. Mitchell Henry more than three
times that amount

Rev. Father Crotty, o. S. A, who
had been attached to the Augustine
Convent, i'll Callan, for the last twelve
months, sailed from Southampton Oh
the 9Th inst. for Australia During his
stay in Callan he endeared himself to
the congregation who worship in the
Friary church by his simple and un-
ostentatious piety, and his amiable per-
sonal qualities, and his departure has
consequently occasioned keen, sincere,
and general regret. Father Crotty is
native of Mullinahone, and son of Mr.
