association, on April II, resolution
was passed accepting the proposal for
conference with the United Irish
League in the city, to secure common
action in local affairs.
The Belfast papers announce the
death OF Mr.. jeremiah Stringer, which
took place on April Is, at his resi-
dence, q PIN street. In the days of
the Land League Jerry" Stringer be-
came we'll known as the police steno-
grapher of the Castle administra-
ton. Some years ago he resigned
from the force on a pension, with the
rank of head constable; and latterly
he has been acting as teacher of short
hand in the Mercantile college.
At its last meeting in London the
Royal Humane Society awarded a
bronze medal to Bernard Mulready
for his gallant rescue OF a woman
who, in fit OF insanity, had thrown
herself into the canal at Clanwilliam
Place, Dublin, on March 23. Mul.
ready is an old soldier, holding 2
medals and 8 clasps for bravery in
the field. A testimonial was also
awarded to w. j. Sheridan, of Ra-
setta Park, Belfast, for his plucky
action on December 26, when at the
risk of being crushed between two
vessels, he rescued j. Ratican from
drowning in the York Dock, Belfast.
Armagh.
On April IA death visited an aged
couple named Matchell, at their resi-
dence near REORGANIZATION, under
very pathetic circumstances. The wife
had been for long time ailing, and
the husband, a small farmer, had
watched, almost night and day, by her
bedside, although suffering himself
from heart disease. During the night
of the 14th the old woman died, and
the shock to her grief-stricken partner
was so great that he also succumbed
an hour afterwards.
Cork.
On the evening OF April 18th the
White Star steamer Oceanic arrived
at Queenstown shortly after nine
o'clock. She brought 1888 sacks of
mails, out of which only ITO bags, be-
ing the Irish portion, were landed. All
the remainder was carried to Liver
pool. If the entire mail had been
landed at Queenstown and despatched
by special through service, it would
be delivered all over the English pro-
vinces early next day; whereas its
carriage to Liverpool involved a SER
ious delay. But the policy of the
English postofflce is to sacrifice the
delivery of the entire provincial cor
respondence for the purpose of getting
an early delivery in London. Incl
dentally, also, it is part of the same
policy to "cut out" the Irish Atlantic
ports on every possible occasion.
On the evening. of April 10th a
party of armed and disguised men at
tackled the house of farmer named
Patrick O'Brien, of Mulihera, near
Kanturk. Mr.. and Mrs. O'Brien were
not at home at the time. The raiders
entered the kitchen and fired shots
through the ceilings and windows.
They did not, however, molest or in
terfere with the three domestic serv-
ants, who ran out in terror. Before
leaving, the party wrecked the house,
smashing every article of furniture
that same under their observation.
Then they left, firing shots as they
went. A young man named jeremiah
Colbert has been arrested in connec-
ton with the affair. The outrage is
believed to have some connection
with fran which Mr.. O'Brien holds
in the locality.
