A serious affair, seemingly of suffragette origin. occurred. how eyer, at the Dublin theatre, where MT.

 During the progress of the premiers party to tho Hotel Gresham, a hatchet was thrown at his carriage.
 It was reported the weapon struck John F. Redmond, the nationalist lead CT, on tho head, but this proved to be | erroneous. Mir. Redmond was slightly injured while entering the hotel wherN the crush was so great that his heal was damned against the door.

She tried to stop No 4 but said it ran past the signals a distance. Then it developed, she said, that the person who telephoned merely wanted her to inform Congress Park when train No. passed the tower and she let No. go on. She then decided she would stop No. ?, a pas senger train, as 1t was too close to No. 1, but No also ran by the signal before it stopped, $50 feet beyond the tower, Ten minutes later the mail train, No. & shot past the block and crashed into train No. 2
 The witness admitted that if she had not misunderstood the telephone message and delayed No. she would not have stopped train No. and the accident probably would not have occurred ever though the engineer of No. did noi heed her stop signal.
