Irish Election Riot.

LONDON, Oct. 5.-The candidature of John Howard Parnell, brother of the late Charles Stewart Parnell, at the parliamentary election for South Meath, which is deeply resented by the Redmondites, led to riot when John Redmond and other Nationalists went to speak in support of their candidate, David Sheehy. The rival facdons came to blows at DunshaughIin. Bludgeons and stones were used, and many per sons were injured. John Redmond in his speech denounced J. Fl. Parnell as a traitor to Irish unity.

NAUGATUCK NUGGETS.
Several Games of Football Played
 Here Yesterday.

Here Yesterday.
 The mems mission at St Francis's church, commenced a week ago Sun day evening, was brought to a close last evening. The ceremonies, which consisted of the recitation of the rosary, farewell sermon and renewal of baptisma vows, followed by sol emn benediction of the most blessed sacrament, were very impressive. The mission both for the women and the men was grand success and the at tendance at all the exercises was all that could be desired. The farewell sermon last night was preached by the Rev Father Downes.
 The board of warden and burgesses will meet tomorrow night. Police rules and regulations will be discussed and much other business transacted.
 Stories of big strings of game are not coming in very fast this season. The leaves are quite heavy on the trees as yet and the warm weather is any, thing but conducive to pleasant hunting trip this early in the season. One or two large scores are reported, one being of a local man (not a true sportsman, however,, who shot thirty two gray squirrels in one day. This seems doubtful around this borough, as grays are very scarce but 1t may be fact, although all true sportsmen will be loud in cries against this kind of sportsman. Nowadays when game is growing scarcer and scarcer each year a man is not considered a true sportsman unless he knows when to take the charge out of his gun and be content with few grouse or squirrels. There was time when a large game bag we'll filled was not considered hog gish, but time has changed this rule and the man who goes to hunt with nothing but a reckless desire to kill is branded as a game hog and one with long bristles. Fortunately for the borough there are but few of this kind of sportsmen here, but che few who do reside here are game hogs in every sense of the word.
 There was plenty of football in this borough yesterday afternoon. A large number of people were present at Washington park, when the Oriole Hammer club defeated their old rivals, the Mohawk A. O., by a score of 15 to 0. The game was quite excitiI~. Otehr games were played as follows: Starlight A. o. of this town vs the Quaker A. c. of Waterbury. The re- suit was victory for the locals by score of 12 to o. The game between the Mohawk Juniors and the St Fran cis T. A. B. Juniors resulted in tie. The Oriole Hammer club Juniors de- feated the Gum Box A. o. by score of 6 to O. and the Maple Woods defeated the Rosebuds to the tune of to Q.
 The Naugatuck football team played their first game of the season Saturday afternoon on Hotchkiss field. Their opponents were the Reliance team of this town. The game was won by the Naugatucks by the score of 10 to O. The playing of the Naugatucks was very encouraging and they showed plainly that they are capable of hold ing up Naugatuck's excellent record on the gridiron.

TIE GOMEL MASSACRE
Details of the Attack on Jews
 Tn Northwest Russia.
RHR1R COURAGE WAS ASTONISHING

Even the Women FOUght-Part of
 the Time the Jews Were Assaulted
 by Roth Soldiers and Hob-who1e-
 sale ExecutiOns May Follow Re-
 s1stance to the Soldiers.
 The Jewish Morning Journal of New York recently printed the following let ter about the Gomel massacre of Jews in northwest Russia from its special correspondent at Warsaw:
 .It all began on Friday Sept. 11) with quarrel between Jewish shop keeper and a Christian woman who re- fused to pay for a herring. The attack on the Jews was renewed on Sept. IA. It soon transpired that the riot of Fri day was only kind of rehearsal for the real pogrom,' which took place on the 14th and 18th. Now, the streets of Gomel were drenched with blood, and the rioters this time were not peas ants, but the strongly built little Rus sian railroad laborers, 800 in number. The Jews defended themselves as val iantly as on Friday, with whatever weapons they could get hold of. The police worked earnestly and diligently to Quell the disorder, but were power less against the savage mob. In ordi- nary times there are plenty of soldiers in Gomel, but at this time of the year they were still in their summer camps and could not reach the town the first day Of the riot.
 s1The Jews telegraphed to the gov ernor of Mohilev for assistance and re ceived reply that be was indisposed and could not start for Gomel on that day, but he requested the chief of DO lice to aid the Jews. The chief carried out the order faithfully, and he him self shot to death two Russians, but he was pOwerless to restore order. Five Jews were killed the first day. and but for the gallant fight put up by the Jews the number of killed would be much larger The strength and cour- age displayed by these people, who are generally taunted for cOwardice, were something astonishing. Eyen women fought. The physical agility and the correctness of their aim were not al ell those Of race of cringing peddlers

began to gather on receipt Of the news that the Jews were being robbed at Gomel, and many came with the in tention of revenging Fridays defeat. The Jews were prepared and had arm ed men stationed on all the roads lead ing into Gomel.
 '@The soldiers arrived in the fore noon, and their first act to restore order was an attempt to disperse the Jews. The latter replied that they could not trust their lives to the soldiers for fear of repetition of the Kishineff atroci- ties. They insisted that the attacking rioters should be dispersed first. The soldiers insisted and fired on the Jews. The latter returned the fire, and they were soon attacked from both sides that is, by the soldiers and by the riot CTS. ,.-
 'eIn the meantime the news of the riot reached Mlnsk, and fifty we'll arm ed young Jews from that city hastened to the rescue of their distressed breth- ren in Gomel. But they were betrayed by an agent provocateur, or government spy, who was among them and were arrested on their arrival at the railroad depot of Gomel.
 'HThes riot ended on the third day. Ten Jews and eight Christians. were killed Ghe figures of the government Messenger are false), and the number of seriously wounded is very large. Among the dead is also young Koha- novski, aged twenty-two, who enjoyed an excellent reputation.
 '"The city is practically destroyed Houses are demolished and shops emp tied of all their contents. Several syn, agogues were destroyed and the town looks as if great confagration had taken place there.
 'But there is something worse ir store for the Jews of Gomel. The city was even before the outbreak under 8 mild form of martial law, owing to the labor troubles which took place there recently, and the Jews who resisted the soldiers were told that they would be tried before a military court, whicE means that they may be sentenced tc death"

Burmese Tus-of-war.

Tn Burma the inhabitants have novel form of the sport that elsewhere is com monly called 8 tug of war. Tn the Bur mese game there is a rain party and a drought party, who, pull one against the other, the victory of either party being considered to have immediate results as regards the weather. The drought par ty, however, obtains few victories, for the kind of weather it represents is com monly not so nauch desired as rain In the face, therefore, of a strong public opinion the rain party Is nearly always allowed to win, tho paapable "roping,' in the popular notion, being generally followed by fertilizing downpour.- Chicago Daily News.
