With feelings OF deep regret we an
nounce the death Of Mr.. Daniel Joseph
Burns, Which occurred OH August .
at the Mater Intirmorum Hospital, Bel
fast. The deceased was never of IL
robust constitution and succumbed to
an illness that only lasted few days.
He was a native of Belfast, and be-
longed to a highly respected musical
family. Originally national teacher,
he was for many years i'll Ballymacar-
rett National School and was ever held
in the highest esteem by his pupils,
and indeed by all with whom he came
i'll contact. For upwards of thirty
years he held the post of organist of
st. Patrick's church. Belfast. He
leaves a widow and nine children, the
eldest of whom. Rev. Frederick Burns,
was ordained to the priesthood, at
Maynooth, few weeks ago.
CLARE.
On the night of August II. one Of
the most desperate af1rays that have
taken place in the district within half
a century occurred outside the town
of Kilrush. resulting in fatal injuries
to an old farmer named O'Gorman.
From the meagre particulars available

ling by car to Kilrush, when close to
the suburbs, discovered O'Gorman COW
cred With blood and lying OH the road
side i'll dying condition, but not
wholly unconscious. They caused
him to he removed to town and trans
ferred to St. Joseph's Hospital, where
he died without having recovered con-
seriousness. The constabulary in
quiries tracing old O'Gorman's move
ments in town show that up to
II o'clock at night he was in company
with younger son of his i'll some of
the streets, and as it was the first
meeting between the two for couple
connection with a farm of land, it is
impossible to say whether the renewed
intercourse was of friendly nature
or the reverse. However, the police
have taken young O'Gorman into
custody. The prisoner i'll explaining
some scratches and bruises about his
own face, admitted that there was 81
melee, but that the wounds on HIM
self were received in defending his
father from an assault made on him
by another man. He strongly protest
ed his innocence of the grave charge
preferred against him.
DERRY.
On August II, the anniversary Of
the relief of Derry at the time of the
Jacobite and Williamite war was cele-
brated in the city. Large contingents
of Orangemen came from various
parts of Ulster to take part in an out
door demonstrate which had been
organized for the occasion. Belfast
supplied the bigger contingents, and
ACCOMMODATING the latter We're Sir
Thomas Sloan, NJ. F., and Mr.. Arthur
Trew, both having their respective fol-
lowings; but neither of the factions
seemed to be a welcome element to
the Derry people. the apprentice
Boys" being very shy of them, so that
each of the factions had to "hocll by
themselves" During the afternoon
several of the processionists quarrel
led among themselves; and in one in
stance, in Ship-quay street, the po-
lice interfered and were assailed by
the professionals and Il rather ugly
row seemed imminent until police
reinforcements came up. Passing over
Carlisle bridge some of the procession
lists again had a quarrel among them
selves and for several yards along the
pathway blood was bespattered. Ulti-
mately the visitors were got to the
railway station. The constabulary au-
thorities had an anxious time.
