FERMANAGH.
In the probate court, Dublin, on May
Is, in the matter of the goods of John
NJ. Keegan, deceased, an application
was made on behalf of Owen Keegan,
son of the deceased, who was farm
er residing in the county Fermanagh,
for an order that administration with
the will annexed be granted to him,
Notwithstanding that the witness to
the will refused to make an affidavit of
the execution. The sitting judge said
that, in the present case the applicant
was an interested party, and he would
allow the matter to stand until the
first day of the next sitting in order
that the next of kin might consent to
the making of the order. If they did
not consent, he would compel the at
tendance of the witnesses to the will
for examination.
KILKENNY.
On May Is, melancholy accident
occurred OH the Great Southern and
Western railway at Kilkenny, by
which a cattle dealer named Patrick
Nowlan, Of Leighlinbridge, sustained
injuries which subsequently proved
fatal. 1t appears that the unfortunate
man had missed the train by which he
| intended to travel, and endeavored,
some time after, to. get into truck
going to Bagnalstown, and in so doing
he sustained severe injuries, to which
he succumbed next day at the county
intirmary.
LIMERICK.
No general settlement has as vet
been arrived at in connection with the
carpenters strike in Limerick. A small
number of men have been granted the
increase demanded, from 32s. to 34s.
per week. The bulk of the ordinary
employers are still holding out, and
when waited upon by a deputation
from the Carpenters Society they stat
cd that they could do nothing until the
builders had agreed to the mems terms.
Still some Of these firms are said to
have sent for their men after this
statement, giving them the advance in
wages, which is the chief, but not the
only point of disagreement between
employer and employed.
LOJJTH.
We regret to record the death Of Mr..
Hugh Caraher, which took place on
May -, at his residence, Llandudno,
in Wales. Mr.. Caraher, although alb
sent for many years from Drogheda,
always took pride and interest in his
native town, and had to the last a keen
interest in it's welfare. He was self
taught man, and in his young days
was weaver with the late Mr.. P.
Heaney, spending his leisure hours in
teaching and instructing himself. He
had attained the age of SO years. His
residence in Llandudno was called
Boyne Lodge, testimony to his patri-
otism and love for motherland. In his
death has passed away one who was
ever model of faith and of patriot
ism, and who, during his years on
earth, was always and above all an
1rishman and a patriot.
MAYO.
On May 10 the police 1aided all the
news agents in Ballinrobe for copies of
the Irish People, and, despite the fact
that the circulation is very large there,
the police We're unable to get more
than about a dozen papers. Shortly
after the raid Mr.. Peter Regain, or
ganizer Of the United Irish League,
distributed some dozens of copies,
which he had managed to secure the
previous night, and he stated publicly
that he would distribute copy to each
village around. He was closely shad-
owed in all his movements by the po-
lice, for they evidently suspected that
he had big supply of the suppressed
issue.
Mia L IL.
On May Is the Marquis and Mar
chioness of Headfort arrived in Kells
on their way to Headfort House, and
met with a cordial welcome from the
townspeople. In the principal streets
laurel arches, with appropriate mot
toes, were constructed and streamers
were hung out, while there was
scarcely house that had not it's flags
flying from roof or easement. The
train was met at the station by large
gathering, headed by the local brass
band. Numerous fog signals exploded
as the train entered the station, and
the Marquis and Warehouses were
warmly greeted as they alighted An
open carriage was in waiting, in which
they took their seats. Bouquets of
flowers were presented to Lady Head,
fort-one on behalf of the reception
committee; by Miss Birdie Smith, and
another on behalf of the race COM
mittee, by Miss Mary Marsh. The
new marchioness (who, as Miss Rosa
Boote, had already won distinction on
the lyric stage before her marriage,)
is an Irishwoman and is proud of the
fact.
