She followed him, called him a murderer, and said she would stone him to death.. He was afraid of her. Mrs. Heeney admitted that she called Kierans a murderer, a coward, and a cur, but denied that she had threatened to stone him. She thought she was justified in calling him a murderer, as he had murdered her brother. Kierans Whatever I did,. I suffered for it. Mayor Mrs. Heeney, you will have j to give up this kind of thing. You will have to find sureties to be of the? peace. ' Mrs. Heeney Thank your worship; I am glad of that for my father and mother's sake. It is very hard to see this man kicking football with the leg he killed my brother with. The Mayor of Kilkenny and the Coronation. Coro-nation.

Norfolk, Earl Marshal, Norfolk Wrtiico St TamM' RnnarP " His worship replied as follows: "I decline to take any part in coronation while my country Is denied the right of constitutional government, and some of the bravest of my fellow countrymen are in prison under a brutal coercion code."

Limerick, on Sunday. A man named G. Cole, aged 45, a native of Oldham, mechanical dentist, came to Limerick on Thursday to work for Mr. Jaffe, dentist. He went to bed on Saturday night apparently in the usual spirits. His non-appearance in Sunday excited no suspicion, the proprietor pro-prietor thinking he was taking a rest, but when at 5:30 this evening the bed room door was opened the body was found lying on the floor with nothing but a jersey on. There was a fearful gash on the left side of the throat, completely severing the jugular vein. The body was stiff. Death must have occurred many hours previously. An open razor was found on the floor near the body. No reason can be asisgned for the rash act, as the deceased had some money in his possession, and was not out of employment.

P., Killenure, said 750 had been allocated by the county council, coun-cil, and although the department would only give them 430. Mr. Blair, from the department, had informed them that they might vote a larger sum from the rates if they wished. Mr. Rich, representing the department, depart-ment, said he knew of no precedent for taking more from the rates than the department was prepared to give. In connection with the teaching of needle work it was suggested that no action should be taken as regards subjects sub-jects taught, or supposed to be taught, by the board of national education. Father Casey. P. P., Abbeyfeale, said the board had promised to help them in Abbeyfeale, but when he had put up the plant the board would not pay.

The Evlctor Busy. Mr. B. K. Lucas, sub-sheriff of the County Limerick, accompanied ac-companied by bailiffs, arrived in Foynes on Thursday by the morning train, and having obtained the assistance of the local police force, proceeded to evict a couple of farmers in the district from their holdings. This "devil's work" having been accomplished the party journeyed to Longhill, where the lands of a tenant, who, on former occasion, tasted the sweets of eviction he having , been ejected from another holding close by were visited, but no seizure was effected, ef-fected, as no cattle were found on the lanas. In the afternoon the sheriff and bailiffs bai-liffs put in an appearance at Glin, and. procuring the aid of a sergeant and two constables, effected a seizure of a cow and a calf on the holding of a small farmer named John Hayes, at Bally-goughlin. Bally-goughlin. The tenant, or rather, the cottier, for he possesses but some few acres of reclaimed bog on the Windle estate, is the father of a family of eight young children, is himself an old and partly disabled man, and has been in most destitute circumstances for years back. To show the extreme poverty of the Hayes, two of his children died a couple of months since. He had not a shilling to bury them with, and it was the charity of his neighbors that did so. He has a little tillage on his miserable holding, for the man is industrious, in-dustrious, and this and the cow and calf seized were his only means of support sup-port for the coming winter. Died on the Roadside. Mr. Coroner De Courcey, the coroner of Limerick, held an Inquest on Friday on the body of Mr. Daniel J. Fenton, aged 30, accountant ac-countant in a Limerick city firm, who was found in a dying condition on Thursday on the South Circular road and who succumbed before medical aid arrived. .
