Born at Sandford's Court, Kilkenny, of one of the oldest Catholic iCmtfies in the county, he joined at an early age the medical profession, in which for nearly half a century he enjoyed en-joyed a large and varied practice. Throughout its course he endeared himself to all who knew him as patient or friend, but especially to the poor, by his invariable kindness and zeal. We desire to convey to his bereaved family fam-ily our sincere sympathy in their sad loss. On Monday afternoon a deputation, introduced by Colonel Saunderson, M. P., waited on the chief secretary at Dublin castle, and urged the necessity for immediate legislation to secure the better drainage of the River Bann, so as to remove the periodical flooding of a large area of the country around the banks of the Bann and Lough Neagh. The chief secretary, in his reply, while expressing sympathy with the object of the deputation, was unable to promise prom-ise any financial aid on the part of the government in carrying out the works necessary to make the drainage works effective for their purpose. On Monday evening Captain R. Bren-nan, Bren-nan, of Kingstown, who was fishing in the bay midway between the Bailey Mighthouse and the east of Kingstown pier, found to his surprise a heavy tug at the net. Almost immediately it was observed that a shark was in the net, and had partly forced its way through. A second net thrown out nearly met the same fate, and a third was brought into requisition before it became possible to secure the huge fish, and in the effort the boat was nearly capsized. After fixing three ropes the shark was towed into Kingstown Kings-town harbor. It is believed to be the largest shark yet captured in the bay, measuring nine feet in length, with a girth of over five feet. The width of the tail is over two feet, and the shark weighs about half a ton. For some months an energetic committee com-mittee of ladies of Slane and district have been engaged in the organization organiza-tion of a bazaar to clear off a debt due on the hall of St. Patrick's Catholic Total Abstinence society.

P., speaking, on Tuesday night at an Orange demonstration demon-stration in Derry, said Protestant Ireland Ire-land was more indebted to Mr. Cham- i berlain than to any other living man, 1 and now that he had knit together Great Britain and her colonies, Or- j angemen were proud to stand by him.

He was born in the year following the battle of Waterloo, Wa-terloo, at Ballybolin, near Ballymena.' on a property that had been in the possession of his family for generations. genera-tions. His great-grandfather, who was the last Prince of Breifflni, married a Miss O'Neill, of Shane's castle one of the original family of the O'Neills so that in the late Mr. O'Rorke commingled com-mingled the blood of perhaps two of the oldest families and oldest names in the country. - Four bailiffs on the Kenmare estate proceeded to execute distress warrants for rent on Monday. The first place visited was Mrs. Holohan's. Immedi-i Immedi-i ately after, it is alleged, two men came up and assaulted the head bailiff, named Morohan, who was struck on the head with a spade handle and knocked down, and was saved from further violence vio-lence by one of the other bailiffs coming com-ing to his assistance with a revolver in his hand and threatening to fire if they did not desist. A large crowd collected and drove the cattle away, and the seizure had to be abandoned. The bailiffs then proceeded to Denis Courtney's, Lacarhoo, where they seized three cows and drove them some distance, when a large crowd assembled assem-bled and hunted the cattle with dogs, so the seizure in this case had also to be abandoned. . It is with the most sincere regret that we record the death of Mr. William Thompson of Rathnally, County Meath, "J. P. for Meath and Cavan. Mr. Thompson was the son of the late "William "Wil-liam Thompson, J. P., of Rathnally, Trim, and Ross Huse, Mount Nugent, County Meath (who was at the time of his death senior magistrate for the counties of Meath and Cavan). This deceased was a man of most retiring disposition, greatly esteemed, not only by his tenants, but by all with whom he came in contact. His death recalls a historic episode, as his grandfather, Skerfington Thompson, contested the borough of Trim against Arthur Wellesley, Duke of Wellington. The contest resulted in the return of his grace by a very small majority, but the result was contested by Skeffington Thompson on appeal on the plea that his grace was several days under age at the date of the election. The plea was rejected by the appellate tribunal, with the result that the election cost Mr. Thompson 30,000, a sum that is still charged upon the estate, the interest in-terest of which is payable to and received re-ceived by the representatives of the late Lord Chief Justice Leiroy. -$- The silver medal of the Royal Humane Hu-mane society has just been awarded to Mr. Edward McCarthy. St. Alphonsus road, Waterford, for his gallant action at Mauritius in March last. A steamship steam-ship in trying to make the harbor at Port Louis ran on the reef outside, the seas making a clean breach over her. McCarthy, whose vessel, the Wilhel-mina, Wilhel-mina, was in port, volunteered, with other seamen, to try and reach her, but the boat in which they made the attempt at-tempt was swamped in the tremendous surf, and three men drowned, the remainder, re-mainder, including McCarthy, being washed on shore more dead than alive. Seventeen of those on board the wrecked steamer were alsp lost. Mr. Dillon, M. P., was the principal speaker on Friday at a United Irish League demonstration in Roscommon. In the course of his speech he said that instead of wildly cheering for the Boers .the Irish people should imitate, even to a slight degree, their example, but by different weapons. They should show themselves in earnest by banding together in their organization and make it hot for the landlords and graziers. graz-iers. Why should they allow anyone who had grabbed a farm take his amusement in Roscommon by hunting over their fields? They should support their movement in every way, so that the graziers and landlords would have no seat on a county council or any other board. If they fought with one-twentieth one-twentieth the energy of the Boers they would soon bring the landlords and graziers to grief. Mr. Dillon denounced Judge Ross for prostituting his court by misusing public money. From the Lbel City. (Cork Correspondence Dublin Freeman.) We had two very important meetings of our city branch of the U. I. L. during dur-ing the last week one on Wednesday night and the other on Friday night. At tne nrsi meeting tne approaching municipal elections were discussed, and it was decided, very wisely, on the suggestion sug-gestion of Mr. Augustine Roche, T. C, that the situation should be discussed between representatives of the organization organ-ization and representatives of the Labor La-bor party. The interests of both bodies, it may be said, are common, and therefore there-fore there is no reason why nationalist national-ist and labor candidates should be found opposing each other. The labor party, to their credit and patriotism be it said, have so far given, as in the past, unstinted support to the national organization, and they may be relied on to do nothing now that would tend to weaken Its influence or strength in this city. $ The history of the diocese of Cork, wle venture to say, does not record a higher rate of mortality than that which has occurred amongst its priesthood priest-hood since May last. No less than seven priests have passed away since that time, the latest being the Rev. William Holland, C. C, Dunmanway. who died on last Tuesday morning. Death has come with an appalling regularity reg-ularity amongst our priests the Month's Mind of one marking the demise de-mise of another. The good soggarth, whose death is now deplored, served twenty-one years in the ministry and in every part of the diocese to which his sacred mission called him, he was truly beloved by the people. For the last seven years he was stationed in Dunmanway, and his death at a rather early age occasioned the deepest sorrow sor-row amongst the good people of that town. This was made manifest by the striking assemblage of laity at the obsequies ob-sequies on Thursday, while the universal univer-sal regard In which he was held by his clerical confreres was reflected in the very large numbers in which they gathered to pay a last tribute to the memory of their departed comrade. An inquiry of great importance to the laborers within the Cork union district opened here last Tuesday, and only closed yesterday. It was an investigation investiga-tion into the petition lodged by the rural district council, praying for a provisional order for confirmation of an improvement scheme made by them under the Laborers' act, proposing to provide additional half-acres for laborers labor-ers in possession of cottages. The dis- trict embraced in this scheme is a very large one, and this fact accounts for the comparatively long period covered by the inquiry. It is gratifying to note that in the majority of the cases the i guardians of the district concerned , supported the claims of the laborers, and indeed instances of opposition were not as numerous on the part of the occupiers oc-cupiers as one might have anticipated. The rumor which has gained currency curren-cy in this city that the agricultural and technical board have a scheme in hand for the acquirement of the queen's colleges col-leges of Cork and Galway for the purpose pur-pose of converting them Into agricultural agricul-tural colleges, has given rise to much d scussion and speculation in profes- j sional circles here, while amongst the professors of the college it has created a feeling akin to consternation. We are to have a Catholic boys' bri-brigade bri-brigade for Cork on lines similar to those which exist in Dublin. The in- , itial step was taken on Monday night, j and already its success is assured. See- j ing the great need for such an organ- j ization. the zealous Capuchin fathers, j with the cordial approval of his lordship lord-ship the bishop, have taken the scheme in hands, and with the hearty and practical co-operation of the members of the St. Vincent de Paul society, the scope of the brigade is destined to widely extend in a very brief period of time. The chief aim of the brigade will be to afford healthy amusement to a very deserving class of boys, as well as to impart useful instruction of a religious relig-ious and secular character by competent com-petent teachers. A higher or more praiseworthy motive could not well be conceived, and we wish the good Capuchin Ca-puchin fathers and their willing assistants assist-ants every success in their great work of saving youths, whose lot is cast in unsavory quarters, from falling into evil habits which their very environments environ-ments suggest. The members of the Queenstown Young Men's society are to be cordially cordial-ly congratulated on the facts revealed at the annual meeting, held on last Wednesday night. The attendance was one of the largest on record, while the priests of the parish, headed by the beloved bishop of the diocese, the Most Rev. Dr. Browne, were also present. J The gathering in itself showed the g"' at influer.ee which this admirable society wields in the town, but we have further evidence on this point in the report which was submitted to the meeting. From this the continued progress of the organization could be clearly seen. The membership this year reaches the splendid total of 222, the highest number recorded in the Iifetiye of the society, now extending over thirty years. ' RECENT DEATHS IN CORK.
