| Dublin.
On March % two milesmen in the
employ of the Dublin and Southeast
ern Railway, Kavanagh and Cannon,
were killed by the train which leaves
Harcourt street for Wexford at 1875.
kavanagh, who lived in Shankill, and
Cannon, who lived in Bray, were walk
ing alone the up line at the Bray side
of Shankill when they noticed the
Wexford train, which leaves Bray at
1O:30, coming towards them. They
stepped out of the way, and in doing
so were caught by the down train and
cut to pieces. The train was pulled
up at once, and the unfortunate men
were found to have been mutilated
beyond recognition. Kavanagh leaves
wife and six children. Cannon was
unmarried,
Fermanagh.
A somewhat serious mishap occurred
on the Great Northern Railway line at
Enniskillen on March %. During shunt-
ing operations two engines collided at
curve, and SO great was the impact
that some goods wagons and passen-
ger carriages were derailed, and two
were badly damaged, as was also one
of the engines. Driver Mccain was
seriously injured, some of his ribs
being broken. The line was blocked
for over three hours and the eight
o'clock train from Enniskillen to Der
ry did not run. A breakdown gang
was at work many hours before the
line was again free for traffic.
Galway.
The great tide of emigration has
again started in County Galway, and
daily the numerous railway stations
present the now familiar picture of the
life-blood of the nation going to en-
rich that greater Ireland beyond the
Atlantic.
The Dominicans are a well-known
religious order in Galway, long identi.
fed with the civic life of the place.
So far back as sixty years ago they
established an excellent fishery school
at the Claddagh-that peculiar village
suburb Of Galway, where, as Lever
says, you find Spaniards talking Eng
lish or Irish. The Dominican Priory
is in the Claddagh, and the Rev. Ray.
mond O'Sullivan is Prior, with the
Rev. CELSIUS Lyons, ex-Prior, and the
Rev. John Roche, and Bertrand Lar
kin. Their beautiful little church on
the bank of the docks Just beside the
Claddagh is an architectural gem.
