Tragedy in Belfast.-On Friday
shocking tragedy was enacted in Bel
fast. The scene of the affair was An
trim street, where a young laborer
named Charles Murphy and his wife
resided. For some time past the man
had been out of work, and as a result
was financially embarrassed. He ap-
pears to have been making every en-
deavor to secure employment, but un-
fortunately without success, and last
night he returned home in bad spirits
His wife and children were in the
house when, without any warning, he
seized hatchet and made deter
mined attack on the former.
The unfortunate woman shouted for
assistance, and the children ran cry
ing into the street, but before aid had
arrived she had received a number of
wounds on the head inflicted by her
husband. Murphy appears to have
then left the house, and procured some
poison, which he took, with the result
that in few minutes he fell senseless
to the floor. The ambulance was sent
for, and by the aid of the police the
unfortunate man and his wife were
conveyed to the Royal hospital They
were at once attended to by the med
icaI staff. but in about twenty minutes
the man died. His wife had her wounds
dressed and was allowed to depart.

Police Bludgeoning in Cork.-At the
conclusion of the Dandy Fifth comic
opera in the opera house, Cork last
night, scene OF a most disgraceful
character on the part of the police was
enacted. During the progress of the
performance, into which are introduced
some Enthusiastically jingo songs, n
large section of the audience marked
their disapproval of them by throwing
oranges at the artiStes. The lingo ell
ement applauded the artistes. and this
lent fuel to the fire, because those who
objected to the singing of such produc-
tions displayed the Boer flag in the gall
lery and cheered loudly for the Boer
leaders and sang God Save Ireland"
On leaving the opera house a large
section of the audience was charged by
the police with drawn batons, and
many severe injuries were inflicted. A
number of cases were treated at the
local infirmaries.
The Dandy Fifth was repeated in
the opera house. Cork. on Tuesday un-
der altered conditions as regards the
audience. The management made ad-
missions to the gallery two shillings.
with the result that it's occupants were
confined to half a dozen small bows
and an equal number of policemen. The

soldiers and policemen in plain clothes.

before County Court Judge Dane, X.
c., the most noble the Marquis of Sligo
sued Michael McGiney of Ardery,
| Aughagower, for G31 1Ss Id, arrears of
rent McGiney is one of the tenants
! for whose shelter the huts were put up
on the roadside at Arderry when he
was evicted by the Marquis of Sligo.
and in which connection an injunction
was obtained by the attorney general
against the Mayo county council to
compel them to remove these huts.
Mr.. Malachy Kelly, crown solicitor,
appeared for the landlord, and Mr.. Ed
| mond Barry, solicitor, Westport, for
| the tenant.
Mr.. Barry said in this case he would
appeal more to his honor's heart than
to his head. Defendant was evicted
from his holding early in 1900, but he
was reinstated the following December.
On being reinstated he paid G17 710s.
The land is about the poorest in the
whole county of Mayo, being situated
in the mountainy district of the parish
of Augha COVER. The defendant met
with several misfortunes. Shortly after
he was reinstated he lost his wife and
son and daughter, and also all the
stock he had. He (Mr. Barry) would
therefore ask his lordship to give the
defendant some time to pay. consider
ing that he was now derelict and penni-
less. He sent a son of his to America
some time ago. and he expected help
from him to pay up the arrears.
Mr. M Kelly-The landlord RENTED
nearly G6O
Mr. Barry-But the man was evicted.
His Honor-Has a fair rent been
fixed?
Mr. Taylor-No my lord.
Gavin, the defendant, now came on
the table, and he seemed to be laboring
under strong excitement Addressing
the judge, he cried QUIT beg the par
don of the court and judge. but why
isn't Mr.. Powell (agent to the Marquis
OF Sligo) here? l want to have Mr.
Powell here. Justice before God and
man, my lord, is what L want"
His Honor-You must be quiet.
Gavin (excitedly)-If all you had was
taken from you wrongfully, would you
be quiet?
His Honor-Who took it from you?
Gavin-Lord Sligo; they bound me
down with a chain like a prisoner in
Jail.
Mr. Malachy Kelly-This has been
practiced in other places. 1 would ask
you not to hear it, my lord.
Gavin-They took my land and gave
it to six other tenants-the land that
was made by my father over seven
teen years ago.
Mr.. Malachy Kelly-This kind of talk
may be all very well for elsewhere. 1
suppose he would like to get his views
circulated elsewhere.
Mr.. Barry said the rent was raised
from sS to Els.
His Honor Ito defendant)-Why did
you not go into the land courts?
Gavin-I couldn't, my lord; they
bound me down.
His honor gave decree for the
amount claimed.

Though public attention has lately
been directed to Welsh settlers in
America. the question lacks the great
interest caused In the eighteenth CEN
tury by tho statement that n tribe OF
Welsh Indians had been discovered.
In the seventeenth century John Joss
iyn. in his Voyages to New Eng
land" mentioned that the customs OF
the inhabitants rcscmblcd those of
ancient Britons. and Sir Thomas Her
bert. another traveller of the same
date. in his Travels gave Welsh
words In use among these Indians. A
century later reports from several ira
ders and others were received OF an
Indian tribe that possessed manu-
script. spoke Welsh. and retained
ceremonies of Christian worship.
Among other Information then pub
lished was the report of Captain Abra-
ham Chaplain OF Kentucky. that his
garrison near the Missouri had been
visited by Indians who conversed In
Welsh with some wclshmen in his
company. Those Indians were thought
to be descendants of q colony said to
have been formed by Madoc. son OF
Owen Gwynedd. on his discovery OF
America In 1l70.
