A dispatch from Youghal on Monday says: A sad bathing fatality occurred at Youghal on Sunday Sun-day evening, when a young man named Dahill, from Xewmarket, who came to Youghal with his sister on an excursion, was drowned under Green Park.. It was nearly low water at the time, an J the poor fellow must have got beyond his depth immediately, as the channel is' quite close to the shore at that state of the tide. That portion of the strand is reserved for ladies by the by-laws, but it is never used for bathing when the tide is low. It is some 13 or 16 years ago since tho last bathing accident occurred at Youghal, and it happened hap-pened at the very snme place. 4 A young man named John Henneher was found on Monday night in a dying state inside the demesne wall at Uplands, the residence of the Misses Perrott.

Condon reported the matter to the police. When Dr. Dilworth arrived life was extince.' Condon states Henneher was in the habit of calling to his house and frequently crossing the wall, which is not much more than two and a half feet high on the inside. Deceased was about 25 years of . age, and a wiry, active young man. MEMORIAL TO BRAVE FATHER MTJRPEY. , m Dublin, July 24 One of the largest, most imposing, impos-ing, and enthusiastic Xationalist demonstrations which has been witnessed in the country of recent years took place at Tullow. County Carlow, on Sunday. It was the occasion of the laying of the foundation 'stone of a beautiful memorial which it is proposed to erect in the Market square to the memory of that gallant patriot-priest and martyr, Father Murphv, who paid the penalty of his life in '9S for love of Faith and Fatherland. It was on the square the ndble sogarth, one hundred and six years ago, was hanged, and then decapitated. The committee in charge of the memorial for the past two years have been working most energetically ener-getically to forward the memorial project, and up to the present havo collected a sum of over two hundred pounds; but nearly twice this sum will be required for a suitable monument to .commemorate the memory of Farther Murphy and his faithful friend Galagher, whose loyalty and devotion to his chief are well known to students of the history of the period. The place selected lor the memorial is in the very best and most elevated part of the square, and when placed in position posi-tion will be a decided improvement to the place. The town yesterday was en fete. From an early hour the different approaches to the town were unusually animated, ani-mated, and a continuous stream of contingents, headed by bands and banner, kept pouring in until eventually the streets were in a very congested state. These contingents con-tingents came from the surrounding counties, while a special from Dublin, on which the lord mayor, Mr. T. D. Sullivan, Alderman Cole, and others traveled, brought down an enormous gathering. On the square a platform was erected, from which the gathering, numbering about six thousand, was addressed ad-dressed by the various speakers. Previous to the laying of the foundation stone, Mr. P. Kavanagh handed Mr. Thomas Bolger a silver trowel, which bore the following inscription: "Presented "Pre-sented to Mr. Thomas Bolger, chairman of the Father John Murphy Memorial Committee, July 17, 1904." f : - The Ave Maria, commenting upon the appointment of the Rev. George Searle as head of the congregation of St. Paul, a community founded by an American convert to combat Protestantism in this country, mentioned men-tioned lhat the new superior-general was a descendant of the Paul Dudley, Esquire, who founded a course of lectures at Harvard college ''for the detecting and convicting con-victing and exposing the idolatry of the Romish church; their tyranny, usurpations, damnable heresies, fatal errors, abominable superstitions, and other crying wickednesses in their high places; and finally to prove that the church of Rome is that mystical Babylon, that man of sin, that apostate church, spoken of in the Xew Testament." There is another interesting coincidence in -the fact that the tenth discourse in this series a printed copy of which lies before us was by ''John Lathrop. D. D., A.A.S., pastor of the second church in Boston." This lecture was delivered "in the chapel of the University in Cambridge, September 4, 1793." Times have changed since then, not only in Cambridge but throughout "Xew England. - A non-believer in qnacks recently received from one 1 an advertising circular stating many wonderful things, j among them this: "If you will send me a lock of your hair and $1 I will tell you what is the matter with! you." Tho matter was discussed in the parlor of the j Mug-House club, on the floor of which is the pelt of an enormous bear, killed by Colonel Harter. Just for a joke, our non-believer clipped off a lock of bear hair and inclosed it with $1 to the magician, who promptly returned this diagnosis, ''Dying of old age." Xew York Press. King Victor Emmanuel has given directions for the immediate resumption of the work for the recovery of those two magnificent galleys of the old Roman Emperor Em-peror Caligula, which for near 2.000 years havo been lying at the bottohi of Lake Xemi, a few miles south-cast south-cast of Rome. ' Forty engineers, with pontoons, have already arrived with the object of refloating these ancient an-cient galleys, which lie in only about four or five fathoms of water, and now that the funds have been furnished for the enterprise there is no doubt that it will be brought to a satisfactory conclusion within the next few weeks to the satisfaction' and delight of archaeologists", historians, and artists in all parts of the civilized world. j The head of an Indian, one of the principal decorations decora-tions on the facade of the Iroquois theatre, Chicago, has been replaced by that of a laughing woman. The bust is just above the main entrance. The new owners have obliterated every trace of the old name of the ill fated playhouse, the sign "Iroquois Theatre", on the west wall being replaped with "Vaudevillo .Theatre". in letters ten feet high.' I.Jnside alterations :arc nearing completion, and the. management again will try to secure se-cure a permit to reopen the amusement house. . - : . . |
