MAYO
On May so Most Rev. DIR. McEvilly,
archbishop of Tuam, arrived at Bally-
haunis, OIL his triennial visitation. His
Grace was on his confirmation tour,
Which embraced the most remote par
ishes Of his extensive archdiocese. The
event of his arrival in Ballyhaunis
brought out the whole Catholic popu-
lation. On the 31st the sacrament was
administered to about 300 children;
and the archbishop took occasion to
compliment the priests and teachers
on the excellent answering of the pu-
pills from the various schools in the
parish. All the candidates voluntarily
took the total abstinence pledge. This
circumstance was source of much
qualification to His Grace, who has the
cause Of temperance so much at heart.
Ihe archbishop in his address to the
vast congregation referred in powerful
language to the kings blasphemous
coronation oath, in which the most
cherished tenets of the Catholic reli-
gion We're attacked. and Catholics
themselves described and denounced
as idolators. An impressive and clio
quent sermon on coordination" was
delivered by Rev. J. Grealy, G. G.

ROSCONIMON.
At the weekly meeting of the Ros-
common board Of guardians, on MAY
%. the decision of the local govern
ment board, on the report of their in
spector, relative to the death of DR..
OBrien, in the workhouse, was read.
The local government board pointed.
out that evidence given at the inquiry
showed that DR.. O'Bren had died i'm
great pain, and as it was proved Ire
had been in the habit of getting drugs
brought in to him, the local govern
ment board concluded that he must
have died from having taken some
drug. The system of permitting mes
sengers to leave the house and stran
gers to visit the hospital without being
searched, the local government board
held was evidence of negligence on the
part of the master and porter: but in
the present instance the board would
take no further action in the matter
beyond warming these officials against
a repetition Of the occurrence.

eral topics. Mr.. McHugh is bearing
his confinement well.
