crowd of people. The police attempted
several times to keep the crowd back,
and frequent encounters occurred, in
which some constables and civilians
received injuries. On arriving at the

taken up a position in waiting room
pending the arrival of the train. for

Quarry Dangers at Nenagh.-A
occurrence took place at Mem
agh recently when some blasting oper-
atoms were being performed in the
Cudville road Quarry, belonging to the
Urban council. A large stone, weigh
ing about a half hundredweight was
thrown some fifty yards by dyna-
mite charge from the quarry, over the
Convent of Mercy wall and through
the roof of a portion of the convent
building, smashing tables. glass, etc :,
in the place, and penetrating through
a second floor into another room,
causing much damage. Happily no
person was near at the time or a serl-
Gus accident would have been the re-
suit On several occasions the Urban
council made application to the magis-
trates for powers to enter new quar-
~. and thereby obviate the danger of
blasting road material in the Nenagh
Cudville quarry, but on all occasions
they have been refused by the justices
at petty sessions.
On Friday night the death occurred
at an advanced age of the Rev. Arch
deacon Dennehy, P. P, V. F., at his
residence. Kanturk. The deceased had
been in feeble health for a considerable
time past, and his demise was not I'M
expected. He was a deep scholar and
a great churchman in every sense of
the term.
The census of Waterford city and
although it shows an increase
of 566 in the population of the former
during the decade, marks an aggregate
decrease in the whole community of
S.515. or SO per cent. This is ~ quite
so bad as the record of some of the
other southern and western counties,
but it is sufficiently depressing. The
increase in the population of Waterford
city, from 26,203 to 26,769. or % per
cent, compares very poorly with the
great.jump made by Derry, of over 20
per cent. Dungarvan, again, has fall
len in population from 4,331 in 1891 to
4. DAB in 1901; while Lismore, which had
l 6S2 inhabitants in 1891, had on census
night, 1901, only 1883. The only town
of standing in County Waterford,
therefore, that has turned the corner
is Waterford city itself, and even here
the progress made is very small. The
decrease in population in the county
districts (as constituted under the local
act ranges from rs in the
Dungarvan Urban to 17.6 in the YOU
ghal No Rural. Catholics more than
hold their own proDortionally in the
