We deeply regret to announce the death of Yal-eintine Yal-eintine B. Dillon, the well known solicitor, one of the most good natured,. kindly and popular men connected with the public life of our city. The day after the St. Stephen's Green election, in which Mr. Dillon took so successful a. part, he was attacked at-tacked with a chill, which led to internal complications compli-cations and necessitated an operation on Tuesday last. After the operation he improved considerably, but the improvement was not sustained, and early on Thursday afternoon he passed away. Deceased-who Deceased-who was admitted a solicitor in 1870, belonged t6 one of the most patriotic families, in Ireland, being a nephew of the John Blake Dillon of '48, and the cousin of the present distinguished representative of' East Mayo. He went rapidly to the front in his profession and speedily acquired a great reputation for careful and energetic work. He waa the solicitor solici-tor in many famous Irish trials in which the leaders lead-ers of the bar were engaged; and, as his opponent in the Stephen's Green contest his last public work the other day observed, any cause was safe in his hands. About twenty minutes to 7 on Monday evening an occurrence of a very melancholy character took place at Glanmire Terminus of the Great Southern fc: Western Railway, by which a man named James Barrry, 15 Roche's buildings, lost his life. Deceased De-ceased was engaged in the electric power house, and at the time mentioned he was in the act of setting the flywheel in motion. This he did with his foot from an elevation in the vicinity, and it appears that he slipped and, his legs becoming entangled in the cogs of the wheel, he was dragged round with much force and was terribly mangled.

As the driver of the 4:45 p. m. express from Derry was within a few yards of the bridge which spans the River Foyle.'at the Strabane side of Porthall station, he noticed a man walking between the rails, and made every effort to pull up and warn him, but as the man had his back turned and a high wind was blowing at the time, his efforts proved unavailing, unavail-ing, and the engine struck him between the shoulders, shoul-ders, knocking him under the wheels and inflicting shocking injuries. The head was almost severed, and the lower portions of the body and legs were mutilated muti-lated in a horrible manner. The train was pulled up. and. after the remains had been placed on tho side of the permanent way, proceeded to Strabane, where the occurrence was reported to Mr. Moore. stationma3ter, and he, with a staff and special engine, proceeded to the scene of the accident, when it was ascertained that the man who had met his death in the shocking manner described was John Crawford, a small farmer residing at Bailee, Holly Hill, some four miles from Strabane.

' QUEENSTOWN SPLENDID SERVICE. .A dispatch from Queenstown on Friday says: "A great feat in connection with the transfer and dispatch of. an enormous American mail of 1.955 sacks, brought by the Campania today, furnishes an object lesson 83 to the advantages of the Queenstown route, which even the most prejudiced i cannot refuse to-notice. The Campania covered j a distance of 2,933 miles in 5 days 19 hours and 50 minutes, equal to a summer passage over the short route of 5 days and 14 hours. She arrived in the harbor at 3:20, and the entire 1,955 bags of mail matter were transferred from the ship to the tender ten-der and from the tender to the special train in 2 hours and 20 minutes, and the express train, which measured over000 feet long, with two engines, left for the North Wall at 5:45, with twenty-four sorters sort-ers and two senior officers in charge of the mail. The tram will travel over sixty-five miles per hour on the journey, and will average sixty miles per hour. The North Wall will be reached in four hours, and by the aid of a special through service the English Eng-lish mails will be delivered tomorrow morning in ample time for replies by outward Cunard steamer this week. This performance is believed to mark the end of the policy of the American postal authorities au-thorities in depriving the Lucania and Campania of the mails. The Queenstown route has thus once more been proved to have no equal for the acceleration accelera-tion of American mail matter. PROTEST AGAINST SIR H. PLUNKETT. At tho meeeting of the County Waterf ord Technical Tech-nical committee at Dungarvan, on Wednesday, the Very Rev. Canon Power, P. P., V. F., Dungarvan, said that he had to leave in order to keep an important im-portant appointment, and before he did so he wanted to say a few words on the course of action which he decided to take today. He had recently read a book written by Sir Horace Plunkett, entitled "Ireland in the New Century." In' that book the writer made a most unjustifiable and unprovoked attack on the priests and religious communities, and he offered a gross insult to Catholics generally in a matter that they hold dearer than their very j lives their religion and its practices (hear. hear). He charged Catholic Irishmen with displaying bigotry towards Protestants, as displayed by district dis-trict councilors and county councilors in three of the provinces as if his beau ideal (tho Northern, province) was quite free from bigotry, and loved tolerance in religious matters above all else. He said that the work of Catholic institutions was non-economic. He charged the priests of Ireland with taking away joy and hope from the homes of the people, and he suggested a revolution of the moral code. Now, he (the chairman) thought he had quoted enough to give even those who had not read the book to give them an idea of Sir Horace Plunkett's opinions of the Irish prisest and the Irish people. Now, did they think that a gentleman gentle-man who wrote of them in these terms was likely to promote the advancement of agriculture or technical tech-nical industries in Ireland ("No, no"), or was it more likely to alienate sympathy and support from the movement ? Whatever may be the cause of emigration, emi-gration, one of the most affecting scenes to be witnessed wit-nessed in connection with it is when the poor emigrant emi-grant comes to bid a last farewell to his priest, whom he loves, and who has proved his life-long friend, as he goes on his knees to get a parting blessing. Did that show that the priests had taken away hope, and joy from the homes of tho people? He charged the priests with "extravagance in church building, but he (Canon Power) suspected that if the money so expended was directed to building technical schools that Mr. Horace Plunkett would have no objection, even if the money came from the poor. He ventured to say that the just influence influ-ence of the Irish clergy would survive this unjust and unprovoked attack. He (the chairman) could not see his way to work with a man who had the bad taste to write in this manner of the Catholics priests and people of Ireland, and as a protest, in a small way, he now resigned his position as chairman chair-man of that committee. He would notify his resignation res-ignation to the counv council in due course, and begged to thank the members for the kindness and courtesy they had extended to him while occupying j the position of chairman. , Canon Power then left the chair. The chair was taken taken by Edward O'Shea. vice chairman, and the remaining business disposed of. GLENMADDY NEW CHUSCH. On Thursday,1 surrounded by the glory of the Church's most impressive ceremony, and attended by a great concourse of the people, the foundation of the new Church of St. Patrick, Glenmaddy, was laid by his Grace the Most Rev. Dr. Healy. Archbishop Arch-bishop of Tuam. The need for a new church had become most manifest. The old structure, however good and effective in the past, had grown to be altogether al-together insufficient, and, indeed, today it is positively posi-tively dangerous by reason of its weakness of construction. con-struction. . The reverend pastor, the Rev. Walter Conway, P. P., whose name is so inseparably associated as-sociated with all that is great and good in the diocese, dio-cese, determined to have removed what seemed a reproach on the escutcheon of a splendid people, and with characteristic energy he started the movement move-ment for the new church. Father Conway had already al-ready achieved, quite a record in church building, This is at, least his third achievement in that direction. di-rection. When in Killeen he was the creator, practically, prac-tically, of the new church and presbytery. When he went there there were but six schools and seven teachers, but in. his time he secured a building of sixteen 6chools, and the ' presence of twenty-five teachers-r-surely a good record. Now the new church to be: built 'at Glenamaddy will be'worthy of that record. The design is by Thomas Hamilton, of Galway, and provides a very substantial building, suited to the requirements of the locality and quite in keeping with . tlie present improved taste in church architecture. The style is Gothic, and the plan simple, consisting of -nave and aisles. |
