The magisterial enquiry opened last week by Mr. J. Meacham, J P., into the circumstances attending the drowning of Lawrence Flood at the 14-mile, was continued on Thursday before Mr. A. B. Berg, P.M. The enquiry was ably conducted by Actg Sergt. Thomas Smith. The following is a precis of the evidence taken at both hearings .—

John Charles Smith, carrier, residing at Barcaldine, deposed that at about 9 a.m. on Friday, the 3rd inst, he was mustering some horses in Aramac lane, about three miles on the Barcaldine side of the Half way Hotel. He overtook a man riding a creamy mare; be had two bay packhorses and a chestnut foal, also a black sheep dog following him. About a fortnight previously he saw the same man at the Half Way Hotel lying on the verandah in the shade. On the 3rd he had a drink from the man's waterbag, aud they rode together for about half-a-mile; the man appeared to be suffering from the effects of drink. At about 1 p m. he saw the man sitting on the bank of Newark dam. He had about five minutes conversation with him. The man said to him, "Where is the best place for me to camp." Witness replied, "Outside the Newark paddock fence." Witness then rode away. When about 150 yards away he looked back and saw the man walking over by the wash close to the dam. He never saw him since; he did not know his name. The man was about 40 years of age, medium build, clean shaved except for moustache, and was dressed in ordinary workman's clothes,—trousers, shirt, hat, no coat. In his conversation with the man he said he had had a fall from his horse just before witness saw him, but he did not appear to be injured in any way.

Constable Henry James Houston deposed that on Thursday, the 9th. from instructions received he went to Newark tank on Mildura, about 12 miles from Barcaldine. He saw four horses hobbled out, and a black sheep dog tied up, a riding saddle and general camp outfit in the water in the by- wash, about 100 yards from Newark dam. He afterwards went over the bank of the dam and saw the dead body of a man floating in the water close to the bank. The body was face downwards; and the only clothing on the body was a blue cambric shirt. About 20 yards away was a billy and a pintpot, both filled with water. He then went to the Half-Way Hotel, and asked Leslie Hillcoat to accompany him to Newark dam to identify a body which he had found floating in the tank. Constable Scott was present when Hillcoat identified the body as that of Lawrence Flood. Hill coat stated that Flood had been drinking at the hotel for about a fortnight prior to the 3rd inst, on which day be left, going in the direction of Barcaldine, Hillcoat also identified the horses, dog and camp outfit as that which deceased had when at the hotel. There were no marks of violence on the body or any indications of foul play; the body was in an advanced stage of de composition, and had been in the water six or seven days. The body appeared to be that of a man between 40 and 60 years of age, fair hair and fair moustache turning grey. Between the 3rd and 9th inst. about five inches of rain had fallen, which accounted for the water in the by-wash. The banks of the dam where the body was found were steep and slippery. Constable Scott and he buried the body. Witness had since made careful enquiries in Barcaldine but failed to find any relatives belonging to deceased.

Richard Pascoe deposed that he was a carrier, residing at Barcaldine. He knew the deceased. Lawrence Flood, whom he saw on the 28th Dec., 1912, at the Half Way Hotel, Aramac road; he was camped there, and was drinking. Witness had several conversations with deceased, who said to him once,"Have you any family?" Witness replied, "Yes." Deceased then said, "I will make my horses over to them."Witness asked why, and deceased said, "I am going to die." He complained about a pain in the region of the heart, and he frequently complained of this pain. He had not seen the deceased since the 28th Dec. last. Deceased had told him he had no friends in this country; he did not mention about any relatives. Deceased said his name was Flood, but that he was called "Dublin Mick." He saw deceased riding a creamy horse. He heard a man answering to the description of deceased had been found in the 10-Mile dam. Deceased was well liked by everybody; he had no enemies to witness's knowledge.

John Graham Miller deposed he was a grazier, residing at Mildura. On Thurs day, 9th January, he was riding through his property, and when near Newark dam he saw four hobbled horses, and a dog was tied up under a tree. Flood waters had been all round the ground where the horses were. He saw parts of a riding saddle, packsaddle, and a tent, sticking up out of the water. The horses and dog appeared to have been there about three days. He did not see a sign of any person around. He rode about and had a good look round, and reported what he had seen to the Barcaldine police by telephone. In the afternoon of the same day be returned to the opposite side of the creek to where he had seen the horses, and looking in the dam saw the dead body of a man lying at the edge in about a foot of water; it was lying face downwards. There appeared to be only a shirt on the body; he did not touch it or examine it. He then rode home and reported the matter to the police by telephone. He saw a billycan on the creek about 20 or 30 yards from where the body was. The horses hobbled out were a creamy, two bays and a foal. He did not know the deceased.

Leslie Hillcoat deposed he was manager of the Half-Way Hotel, at the 20-Mile, Aramac road. He knew the deceased Lawrence Flood. He came to the Half Way Hotel about the 7th December, and remained there until the 3rd January last. On the latter date deceased saddled up and said he was going to Coreena. He saw him going away along the Barcaldine road; he was riding a creamy mare and leading one pack horse, whilst another pack horse was following him. Deceased had been drinking moderately during the time he was at the hotel, but be was sober when he left the hotel. On the 10th inst. witness went with Constable Houston to see the body of a man found in Newark dam, and he recognised it as that of Lawrence Flood; it was lying face downwards and had only a shirt on. He identified deceased's four horses, dog and packs. Deceased had complained to him of having a nagging pain in the chest, which, he thought, was a cancer, and stated be intended going to Rockhampton for treatment. Deceased was a very quiet man, and had had no quarrel with anyone to his knowledge. Deceased said he came from County Clare, Ireland, and that he had a sister married in Ireland, but he did not know her married name nor her address. He understood from deceased that he was a single man, and was about 50 years of age, dark complexion, turning grey, medium build, moustache turning gray, blue eyes, and two or three teeth missing in the front of his mouth. He knew the deceased for about two years.

PASSING OF THE PIONEERS.
There passed away at Miles on Monday evening (writes our Miles correspondent) one of the oldest persons in Queensland, and certainly one of the most interesting and remarkable, in the person of Mrs. Bridget Fogarty. Mrs. Fogarty was 98 years old or more when she died. She came to Queensland from County Clare, Ireland, with her husband, Mr. John Fogarty, 60 years ago. Most of her life in Queensland was passed on the Downs. She lived for many years at Dalby, before coming to Miles 20 years ago, and her husband died at Dalby. Latterly she had lived with her daughter in-law (Mrs. M. J. Fogarty) and, although she had reached such an advanced age, maintained a cheerful disposition, and was always thoughtful for others. Her health was remarkably well preserved. It was only recently that she commenced to wear spectacles, and till a recent date she possessed all her teeth. Up to two years ago she was a great reader of novels and general literature, and was in full possession of all her faculties up to the time of her death. Mrs. Fogarty leaves two married daughters—Mrs. Falconer, who lived in the same house with her, and Mrs. Butler; of Mount Ferry district—and a son, Mr. W. Fogarty, of Miles. The funeral, which was largely attended, took place in the old Miles cemetery on Tuesday, when the Rev. Father O'Keefe performed the last rites.

LORD DUNBOYNE DEAD. HIS QUAINT DUTIES AS FORMER KINGS REMEMBRANCER. After lying ill for some time at his Irish residence, Knoppogue Castle, Quin, County Clare, Lord Dunboyne died recently at the age of seventy. He succeeded to the title in 1899, and was an Irish representative peer. Lord Dunboyne's death revies memories of the peculiar duties attached to the office of King's Remembrancer, which he held for four years. He was the recipient every year of a number of horse shoe nails from the tenants in St. Clement Dane's, London. Their tenement was known as "The Forge." On the occasion of every anniversary of Blenheim and Waterloo he received from the Dukes of Wellington and Marlborough, flag as quit-rent for Blenheim and Strathfieldsaye, these being the terms on which the estates were originally granted. As King's Remembrancer Lord Dunboyne also demanded, on behalf of his Majesty, two small faggots and a hatchet and billhook in payment for an estate in the County of Salop.

"CURE" NOT AUTHENTICATED.
The heroine of Lourdes is Miss Grace Maloney, aged eighteen, of the diocese of Killaloe. County Clare. For nine years she has suffered from tuberculosis of the right knee-joint with complete stiffness. Eight operations brought no relief, and after nine month in bed the knee was still swollen and painful. When walking she had a decided limp.
Struggling along in the procession Miss Maloney told a group of doctors and priests; "I felt a sudden pain climbing up my leg as I approached the shrine. When the pain reached the knee the stiffness suddenly passed off. I straightened my leg for the first time for many years and I walked without limping."
On examination the joint was still found to be somewhat swollen and doughy, but really movable and pain less. Unfortunately the case is not yet accepted as authentic by the local authorities because the patient was not examined by the Lourdes Medical Board before visiting the shrine.

NEWS OF THE WORLD
WORTH MORE THAN CARUSO.
J. T. O'Neil of Ennis, County Clare, Ireland, arrived in New York recently by the White Star Liner Celtic with a brown Irish skylark in a bulkheaded cage that held also a linnet and a bullfinch. The bullfinch has been trained to whistle a few bars of "The Wearing of the Green." but that does not make him so precious in the eyes and to the ears of O'Neil as the little skylark. "The English skylark ceases to be a warbler when he is brought to America." he said: "but I believe my bird will sing as cheerily as when floating through his native skies. I would not sell him for any amount of money; I would not sell a single note of him for a hundred-dollar bill. I brought him here for my own delight and that of my friends, who have never heard the sweet melody of the Irish skylark since they left Ireland."

Railway Fatality at Gatton.
The down Western mail train, which now runs express through Gatton, was pulled up this morning in sight of the people waiting on the Gatton station, as the result of an accident by which Daniel Lane, an old identity of Gatton, met his death (our Gatton correspondent advised last night). Lane was camped in a tent on the western bank of the Lockyer Creek, and had to cross the railway bridge to get to the township. He had almost reached the Gatton side of the bridge this morning, when the Western mail approached. The driver of the engine blew the warning whistle, which apparently confused the unfortunate man, as be stepped on to the track along which the train was travelling. He was lifted on to the cowcatcher, and carried about 50yds., when possibly a jolt at the points threw him on the line, the engine, tender, and front part of the first carriage passing over the body. To remove the body from the rails, the train had to be backed about 1ft., when it was seen that one leg was completely severed, while the other was all but cut from the body; the head had received several cuts, and the body itself was badly cut and bruised. Collector K. Thornton, of the Ipswich branch of the Queensland Ambulance Transport Brigade, was handy to the station and rendered all possible aid until the arrival of Dr. Foy, but the man was past medical help, and expired shortly after his removal to the station The deceased was born in County Clare, Ireland, and was 72 years of age. He had no relatives in the State, and had lived quite alone, doing odd jobs about the district. He was an exceptionally tall man, and apparently in the best of health. At the time of the accident he had £14/ 18/4 in his possession, the pocket containing the gold being cut to pieces, scattering the sovereigns along the line.

He is survived by his wife and five children, to whom the sympathy of the community will go out.

DEATH OF REV A. R. EDGAR NOTED METHODIST CLERGYMAN. AN APPRECIATION. MELBOURNE. Thursday There was no better known name inside the circle of the Methodist Church in Victoria than that of A. R. Edgar, who died to-day. He was one of the few members of that Church whose name was well known outside the Church circle. The itinerancy of the Methodist Church limits the (?) most ministers to the Church circles, but Mr. Edgar's broad human sympathies carried him into very wide spheres in the world of affairs. He was an Irishman, born in County Clare, and when a young minister with his clean-shaven face and touch of an Irish accent, he was frequently a puzzle to strangers who met him, especially while travelling. He was frequently taken for one of another communion, and sometimes the open mistake and much more frequently the puzzled faces of people trying to place his communion greatly amused him. He had such a keen sense of humor that he rather helped than explained the wonder. His early home was at St. Arnaud, from which Wesleyan Ciruit he passed into the Methodist ministry. His fine pressence and throbbing impulsive sympathies made him a strong spiritual force in the pulpit from his earliest preaching years. He came to his work at a time when the revival movements of Calatornia Taylor and Mathew Burnett were spending themselves. He gathered much of the spirit of that movement, but changed and concentrated the methods. He was a man young in years and young in the ministry when he went to the Long Gully part of the Bendigo Circuit. His magnetic presence and personal preaching won the hearts of the miners there. He was a man in whom the general Church was taking much interest. When he went to Pleasant Street, in Ballarat, the Rev. Henry Bath was just leaving Lydiard Street after a three years ministry marked by a remarkable series of sermons, and a pulpit success that reached high-water mark. His introduction of Mr. Edgar to Lydiard Street congregation was that "the young man who was coming was one of the few men who could look down upon him. He was more than 6 feet in height". At this point of time it seems hard to believe that when Mr. Edgar went to Pleasant Street, that was about all most of the Ballarat Methodists knew about him….
Mr. Edgar was 64 years old at the time of his death. He leaves a widow and two daughters. Three brothers survive him. Mr. Henry Edgar, who has just retired from the Post Office, Mr. Edward Edgar, a well-known city agent; and Mr. W. H. Edgar, formerly Minister of Public Works. He also leaves two sisters, Mrs. Jennings, wife of a Bathurst police magistrate and Miss Edgar, also of Bathurst.

AN IMMIGRANT'S DEATH.
The pathetic circumstances attending the death of a young assistant motorman, John Reidy, who was killed in a collision between a motor lorry belonging to the Metropolitan Abattoirs Board and a train at Dry Creek on September 4, 1913, were revealed at the Adelaide Local Court on Thursday, when an application for compensation amounting to £66 14/ was made to Mr. J. G. Russell, S.M., on behalf of the dependants. Mr. and Mrs. Daniel Reidy, of Glown, County Clare, Ireland, and children. Mr. W. J. Denny, who represented the Public Trustee, put in a declaration from the father of the deceased Daniel Reidy, which showed that he and his family lived on a small holding in an isolated part of County Clare, which consisted chiefly of mountain land. The late John Reidy emigrated to Australia in 1912, and in March, 1913, he sent £5 to his parents. The father's statement went on to say:-"Before my son emigrated to Australia he gave me all his earnings, and one of his principal reasons for emigrating was for the purpose of further assisting me, and to help to send out some of his brothers when able to go." It was also shown that of the children-three brothers and five sisters-the eldest was not 20 years of age, and the youngest three years. An award was made for £50 in terms of the application, as the Abattoirs Board had paid about £16 14/ for funeral expenses.

MAGISTERIAL INQUIRY.
A magisterial inquiry into the circumstances surrounding the death of John Hallinan, at Depot Hill, on the 9th instant, was held yesterday afternoon before the Police Magistrate, Mr. H. L. Arehdall. Senior-sergeant M. J. Carmody conducted the inquiry. Annie Hallinan, wife of the deceased, stated that she arose about twenty minutes past five o'clock on the morning of the 9th instant. when her husband asked her for a drink of water. She then returned to bed and got up again shortly before six o'clock and went out of doors. Some minutes later she, heard a noise in the bedroom. On entering she saw blood on her husband's clothing and on the pillows. Her husband's throat was cut and he was tearing at it with his left hand. Witness took his hand away and asked why he had done that. He did not reply. She called for assistance. Witness's son telephoned for a doctor, but her husband was dead before the doctor arrived.
When witness got up at a quarter to six o'clock her husband sat up in bed and asked her if there had been a storm. Witness replied in the negative. There was nothing in his manner to indicate that he intended to commit suicide. Her son subsequently told her that he had found a razor in the room with blood-stains on it. The deceased was fifty three years of age and a native of county Clare, Ireland. Witness had been married to the deceased for twenty-one years and they had lived a peaceful life. The deceased had been ill for two years. For the last twelve months he had been unable to do any work. For two weeks before his death he had been confined to his room. For the last week he was strange in his manner. She attributed his strangeness to the morphia which the doctor had injected. William John Hallinan, aged nineteen years, a son of the deceased deposed that some time before his father became confined to his room he said he was tired of life and wished the Lord would take him. Michael Griffin, sergeant of police, also gave evidence. The inquiry was closed.

THE ROMANCE OF A FORTUNE.
NORTH ADELAIDE STORE-KEEPER'S' RELATIVES WANTED.
WHERE IS MICHAEL MALONE?

A few months ago a romantic story was published in "The Advertiser" detailing the circumstances of the search for an heir to a fortune of over £4,000 left by the late Miss Mary Maria Malone, who for many years had kept a small store on the corner of Jeffcott and Buxton streets, North Adelaide. A sequel to that story was related before his Honor Mr. Justice Gordon, in the Supreme Court on Saturday morning, when Mr. O. T. Hargraves, jun., on behalf of the Public Trustee, applied for direction as to whether they could accept the evidence tendered on behalf of certain claimants as sufficiently establishing their rights to a share in the estate.
It appeared from Mr. Hargraves' statement of the case, and from documents in court, that Miss Malone had arrived in Australia practically penniless, but had, by the application of industry and thrift, and by the aid of several friends, succeeded in amassing an estate which, on her death on July 24, 1912, had realised £4,300. Miss Malone left no will, and the Public Trustee advertised in the news- papers and in the "Government Gazette" for any claimants in Australia. He received no answers from the Commonwealth, however. While in England on a holiday it had occurred to him to make enquiries there for possible relatives. The only clue he had was a remark the deceased had made, which had been remembered by the people who had known her in Adelaide, to the effect that "she used, in her infancy, to play in the fields of a rich man named Quaker Lloyd, of Birmingham." Mr. H. Ernest Sargent, a solicitor of Birmingham, undertook the enquiries, and in a very short time discovered a sister, Mrs. Margaret Campbell, of 105, Woodland-road Handsworth, and two nieces and two nephews. Further enquiries had led to the belief that the late Miss Malone was the daughter of Michael Malone and Bridget Malone (nee Hare), who had been married in County Clare or County Galway, in 1835 or 1836, but it had been impossible to obtain particulars of the marriage. The Catholic Church had been asked to make what search was possible; but they had replied that "one might as well look for John Smith in London as Malone in County Clare, unless one knew his parish." Affidavits, however, had been obtained from people who remembered the family. So far as could be ascertained, there were only four children of the marriage. There was no direct proof to the contrary of that, but his Honor accepted that as a fair assumption on the evidence produced. The four children were-The late Mary Maria Malone (of North Adelaide), Michael Malone, Thomas Malone, and Margaret Malone. Margaret Malone had since become Mrs. Campbell, and she was the sister already referred to. Thomas Malone was dead, but he had left four children-James, Mary Anne (now Mrs. Matthews), Elizabeth (now Mrs. George Arthur Bennett), and Thomas. Michael Malone, the fourth member of the original family, had always been a wanderer. He had last been heard of in the hop fields of Kent, about 16 or 17 years ago. If he were alive he would be about 70 years of age, but his relatives believed he was dead. Letters written by the late Miss Malone to Mrs. Campbell, and the family of her brother Thomas, established their identity beyond question. There had been a claim by a Michael Malone, of America, but it had been shown beyond doubt that he was not the man wanted.

His Honor intimated that he would accept the proof tendered of the marriage of Michael Malone and Bridget Hare, and would also assume that there were only four children of that marriage, of whom the late Mary Maria Malone was one. The estate, by devolution of law, was divisible amongst the brothers and sisters of the deceased, or among their children. He would therefore make an order that Margaret Campbell should receive one-third of the estate. The third which would have gone to Michael would be retained by the Public Trustee until further enquiries had been made and notices given, in order to make sure as far as possible that he was not alive, and that he had left no issue who would be entitled to claim his share. The remaining one-third would be divided amongst the children of Thomas who were now alive.

It was directed that the costs involved in the enquiries, both in Australia and in England, should be paid out of the estate before it was divided. It is under- stood that the families who will benefit by the division are in needy circumstances.

The death of Mrs. Bridget Ryan, of David-street, Horsham, indicates another mark in the slow but sure disappearance in the number of the list of pioneers of the district. Although she had turned her 80th year, Mrs. Ryan was actively engaged in the presence of home duties up to the eve of her demise, which took place at her home early on Friday morning last, and although she had been under medical treatment on various occasions her sudden end came as a shock to her large circle of friends, by whom she will be missed and long remembered, on account of her kindly disposition. She was born in Innis Diamond, County Clare, Ireland, and came as a single woman to this country in the year 1854, and later married Mr. Jas. F. Ryan, in 1859, with whom she came to the Wimmera this same year, and later, in the year 1873, selected land near Natimuk, upon ,which they resided and reared their family. Subsequently they disposed of their farm and retired to Horsham 30 years ago, where they have resided ever since. Much sympathy is felt for the bereaved husband and family, of whom four predeceased their mother, namely, Julia (Mrs. E. Walsh), Jos. Jas. Ryan, Matilda Ryan, Fabian Ryan. Mrs. D. Hanan, of Natimuk, and Mrs. R. Mason, of Stawell are the surviving members. The funeral took place at 2.30. on Saturday, and was well attended, the Rev. Father Wood con ducting the service at the grave, and the pall-bearers were Messrs. Jas. Walsh, Jos. and Richard Hannan (grandsons of deceased), Mr. R. Mason (son-in-law), and Messrs. J. Pryor and T. Taylor. The funeral arrangements were in the hands of Mr. Weight.

He told a very stirring story about his loss. The officer at the desk was much impressed. "We'll leave no stone unturned to find your watch, Mr. Gilligan," He said. “Thank ye. sor," said Mr. Gilligan. "'Twas a foine watch." Mr. Gilligan went home, and there found his watch. It had slipped out from beneath his pillow, and in some way landed beneath, the sheets. He hurried to the police office to report the fact and save the policeman further trouble. On the way he came across a gang of labourers tearing up the streets for sewer purposes. "Hi! bhoys," called Mike, "lave thim stones alone; I've found me watch."

DEATH OF MR. JAMES M'MAHON.
PROMINENT CARRIER.

Mr. James M'Mahon, one of the best-known figures in the carrying trade of Sydney, passed away yesterday morning, at his residence, Redfern, at the, age of 77 years. Mr. M'Mahon was about as usual on Friday last, looking the picture of health, but that night, he contracted a chill, and on Saturday took to his bed.

Mr. M'Mahon came from County Clare, in Ireland. He arrived in Sydney when a lad of nine years, and at 14 was driving a cart delivering coal for a man named Murphy, who carried on business as a coal merchant in Woolloomooloo. Mr. M'Mahon saved enough money to purchase a horse and cart of his own, and from that day he gradually progressed, until he became Sydney's leading carrier. His firm at the present time has 250 teams, with 537 horses, daily employed in the city carrying wood and general merchandise. Mr. M'Mahon held the contract for carting wool from Darling Harbour railway station to the stores, and again from the stores to the ships, since 1871, and old residents will remember how determinedly he figured in the carriage of the wool from the railway to the wool stores at the Quay during the Maritime Strike in 1890.

In the course of the last 20 years Mr. M'Mahon, with his teams, carried millions of bales of wool from Darling Harbour, and thousands of tons of merchandise from the ships' slings to the warehouses and bonds. The average number of bales of wool carried by his teams during the last year or two was about 650,000 per year. But last year the total rose to 750,000 bales. Mr. M'Mahon was a large property owner, both in the city and in Redfern, and he was also the owner of Amaroo station, near Orange, and Bumbaldry station, near Cowra. He was until a year or two ago president of the Master Carriers' Association, and during the last few years he represented the employers on the Trolly and Draymen's Wages Board.

Mr. M'Mahon left a widow, six sons, and one daughter. His eldest son is Major James M'Mahon, of the Light Horse. He and four of his brothers are engaged in the carrying business, or are in- charge of their father's stations, while one son, Mr. W. D. M'Mahon, is a solicitor. The whole of the sons are well-known Rugby footballers. Mr. James M'Mahon, who is the old Randwick full-back, took charge of the Rugby team which visited the old country in 1908-9.

DEATH OF A PIONEER,
Quite a gloom was cast over Bangalow on Christmas Eve when it became known that one of the most popular and esteemed residents of the district, Mr. Edmond Slattery, had, in the prime of life, passed away to the great majority. He was born in Tipperary, Ireland, on the 3rd October, 1857, and at the time of his death was just past his 57th year. He was the son of Mr. and Mrs. Matthew Slattery. He arrived in Australia in 1881, landing at Sydney, where he remained for a couple of years, and in 1881 came to the Richmond and settled at what is now called Bangalow, but was then only dense scrub. Subsequently he purchased a farm on the Power estate close by, where he lived till the time of his death. In 1887 he married Miss Elizabeth Guerin, a native of County Clare, Ireland. Of a hearty and genial nature he made many friends, and his sole aim in life was in assisting in the betterment of the district in which he lived. He was one of the prime movers in the formation of the North Coast creamery at Byron Bay, and ever since had taken a prominent part in matters pertaining to it, as well as being a big shareholder. He was an ardent worker for the Bangalow A. and I. Society, and helped greatly to bring it to its present fine position among country societies. In politics he was a staunch Liberal, and was mainly responsible for the establishment of the Bangalow Association, being also its President. When war broke out he came to the fore in starting the Patriotic League. The position of President of the local branch of the Hibernian Lodge was filled by him also. As a committeeman for years of the Progress Association he was responsible for many up-to-date and progressive methods and movements that helped to bring the district to the fore. The School of Arts was also not neglected by him.

Mr. Slattery brought the first Alderro/*' and Jerseys to the district nearly 30 years ago, and was always a believer in breeding the best. An earnest and consistent member of St. Kevin's Church he did great service in the building of the church and convent. In the Catholic Federation he was deeply interested, and was the first president of the local branch of the League. To mourn their loss he leaves a widow, five sons and one daughter, viz.- Dr. Matthew J. Slattery, St Vincent's Hospital, Sydney, Edward Pat rick, John Kevin, William Francis, Thomas Michael, Mary J., one sister, Mrs, Guerin, Possum Creek, and brother, Mr. Patrick Slattery (Rooty Hill). With the exception of one son, William, who is being educated at Nudgee, and was with the encampment at the cable station, Southport, the whole of his family were with him when he passed peacefully away. Until about two months ago he had en joyed exceptionally good health, but diabetes only a week before his death developed serious complications, and despite all that could be done by his medical attendants, Drs. Corlis and Lentaigne, the end came. The remains were interred in the Roman Catholic cemetery, and the cortege that followed to the last resting place, was the largest ever seen in Bangalow, and was considerably over a mile long. Although it was Christmas Day and the notice so short, not only Bangalow and district were represented, but many mourners also attended from Murwillumbah, Tweed Heads, Kyogle, Hallina, Wardell, Casino, Lismore, and other parts, The Hibernians lead the procession. The last rites were performed by Rev. Fathers Williams and Battle, and also present were the Rev. E.J. Merchant (Church of England), and Mr. T, G. Mason (Church of Christ). At the grave side Father Williams said they had not only lost a friend, but the very best friend. Personal as well as in church matters his life had been an example to all other members of the faith as a true Christian in every sense of the word. On behalf of not only the Catholic community, but also the citizens, he extended the deepest sympathy to the relatives left behind. It was gratifying to know in what esteem the deceased was held by all with whom he came in contact, that not only his own clergy but those of other denominations honored the family by paying their respect by attending at the grave side. Among the numerous wreaths was one from the Patriotic League and also one from his old friend, Mr. Andrew French, Bangalow (cousin of General French).

GEN SIR THOMAS KELLY-KENNY LONDON, December 26.

The death is announced of Gen. Sir Thomas Kelly-Kenny, G.C.B., G.C.V.O., at the age of 74 who several years ago retired on account of his age. He was regarded as one of the ablest British generals. Born on February 27, 1840, at Kilrush, County Clare, Gen. Kelly-Kenny entered the army in 1858 as an ensign in the 2nd Foot. His first extra-regimental service was at the Cape of Good Hope, when he commanded the escort of the General Officer Commanding (Gen. Sir James Jackson), and later he was appointed A.D.C. on the new staff. On the outbreak of the war with China in 1860, he accompanied his regiment from the Cape to the Far East. He was present at the action of Sinho, and went to Shanghai to help to suppress the rising there, being present at the assault and capture of Tangku and Taku Forts, and winning mention in despatches. Obtaining his company in 1866, he served in the Abyssinian campaign of 1867-68, in command of a division of the transport train, being mentioned in des- patches for "zeal, energy, and ability." During 1874 he assumed the additional sur-name of Kenny. In December, 1875, he graduated at the Staff College, and including four years in command of the 2nd Battalion and the command of the depot and 2nd Regimental District at Guildford, he was D.A.Q.M.G. on the staffs of Lord Napier and Sir A. Gordon in India; A.A.G., Northern District, at York, 1887- 92, during which time he commanded the great North of England training camp on Strensall Common; A.A.G. at the War Office in 1893: A.A.G. and Chief Staff Officer to Field-Marshal H.R.H. the Duke of Connaught, and commanded the 3rd Infantry Brigade at Aldershot in 1896-7. In 1897 he was promoted major-general in the army, and was appointed Inspector-General of Auxiliary Forces and Recruiting at the War Office, which post he held until 1899, when he succeeded Sir Redvers Buller in the command of the troops at Aldershot. In 1899, he was appointed to command the 6th Division of the South African Field Force, and sailed in company with the late Lord Roberts. He was destined to play an important part in Lord Robert's plan of campaign for after lot of forced marching and "hustling," he was able by February 15 to take up Gen. French s position, leaving the latter free to accomplish the movement which led to the memorable relief of Kimberley on the same evening. Gen. Kelly-Kenny's 6th Division succeeded in pursuing the Boer Army retreating towards Bloemfontein, and in capturing a large convoy of 78 wagons. Continuing the pursuit, Gen. Cronje's army of 5,000 was brought to bay at Koodoos- rand, and, after desperate resistance, was compelled to unconditionally surrender at Paardeberg on February 27 (Majuba Day). Gen. Kelly-Kenny's next great achievement was at Driefontein on March 10, where his gallant 6th Division achieved the victory which first made the Boers realize the superiority of their antagonists, crushed their power of resistance, and opened the gates of the Free State capital to the British. Subsequently Lieut.-Gen. Kelly-Kenny was given the command of the Orange River Colony, and directed the various operations between the Orange River and the Vaal, including the actions at Ladybrand (September 2 to 5, 1900). In 1901 he returned home. On October 1, 1901, he took up the responsible post of Adjutant-General to the Forces, which he held until 1904, when the Esher Commission issued its report, resulting in the establishment of the present Army Council. Gen. Kelly-Kenny, who attained that rank on August 25, 1905, retired from the army on February 12, 1907, He was made K.C.B. in 1902, G.C.B. in 1904, and G.C.V.O, in 1906, while he was a J.P. and a D.L. for the County of Clare.

Death of a Sister of Mercy
ON XMAS EVE
In the midst of the usual activity, in the artistic harmonising of scenery with the Christian delights of the Xmas holidays, it frequently happens in populous centres that an additional vacant chair recalls the death, one of our most estimable citizens of the day before. Such indeed was the trying ordeal of the Sisters of Mercy, Victoria Square, Perth, when it was made known that Sister Mary Brendan breathed her last about 11 a.m. on Xmas Eve. A sense of the existence of the intense gloom pervading the convent, inspired the visitors and a kindly, hushed sympathy from interested onlookers was meted out to the superioress, the Rev. Mother M. Brigid McDonald, the mother assistant and the 35 other sisters of the community. It was evident that death had withheld from this privileged community a continuation of the advantages accruing from daily intercourse with Sister Brendan who, like Sister Theresa of the Child Jesus, was singularly gifted with a most natural grace of manner in the discharge of every task allotted her. In addition to this, her brilliant accomplishments and exquisite faculty of imparting knowledge were an important contribution to the maintenance of the recognised high standard of intellectual proficiency that obtained in the Con vent of Mercy, in Western Australia. The solemn requiem mass was celebrated by his Grace Archbishop Clune at 9 o'clock on Saturday, the feast of St. Stephen in the oratory attached to the convent. The Sisters of Mercy discharged the duties of choir most impressively. After mass, in the presence of the dead, the Archbishop read the usual prayers, and the Rev. H. Kearin sang the 'Libera me Domine.' Many of the priests of the metropolitan area were present. The Very Rev. Father Creagh, Superior of the Redemptorists in the West was present, accompanied by Fathers M'Dermott and M'Geean. The Oblate Fathers from Fremantle were also represented. The funeral procession wended its way to Karrakatta Cemetery, where Father O'Neill, of Cottesloe, assisted by several priests, performed the last rites of the Church. The Sisters of Mercy also assisted at the grave, and the earnest ness of their intercessory appeals, filled with hope, in favor of the departed soul, conveyed the impression that, though they cherished the memory of her good example, and saintly life, the heartrending separation had brought them sorrow upon sorrow. The deceased was born 21 years ago at Cooracare, in the west of County Clare. Her mother, Mrs. Darcy, is still living, but her father is dead. She was one of the postulants brought out from Ireland by Rev. Mother Brigid, of Victoria Square, as a result of her visit to the old country in 1911. They arrived in Perth on New Year's Day, 1912. Sister Mary Brendan led a most, edifying life in the Convent, was a model of perfection, and a general favorite. She was professed by His Grace the Archbishop in the Cathedral of the Immaculate Conception, on the 1st of October last. She continued teaching until her sudden, sad collapse ten days previous to her death. [Mary Darcy b 10 April 1892 to parents Michael Darcy and Margaret Campbell, entered the Convent 5 January 1912, died 24 December 1914 at Perth WA. - moh]

The many friends of the late Mr. Patrick O'Loughlin (or "Sir Bryan"), as he was familiarly known) will be sorry to hear of his demise. He had a career worthy of note. He was born in County Clare Ireland, 1842. Coming to this country when a young man, his first employment was as a boundary rider, in the Western district for a squatter named Ayr, and he had for a fellow employee Marcus Clark, writer of "His natural Life," &c. Mr. O'Loughlin joined the Police, and was a trooper in the Beechworth Gold Escort, then he was stationed in Kyneton, Bacchus Marsh, Eganstown, Melton (for 8-years). then he received his first promotion (Senior constable) and reluctantly left Melton to take charge at Williamstown. Then Kew and Windsor. While stationed at the latter place, he took an important part in unearthing the Deeming murder cases. Mr. O'Loughlin was 48 years in the Police force, and while stationed in Melton the Kelly gang broke out in 1878. He was a volunteer for their search, and for nine months he was on this duty, when the married men were called home. He was well liked by all, and he retired on a pension some 13 years ago, and returned to Melton to live, where he spent the remainder of his days in peace. His family is grown-up and married, but his widow is still here. He was in the Royal Irish Constabulary before coming to Australia, and was a man of good military appearance and bearing, and many are the tales he used to tell of his exploits while on Police duty.

THE SHARE OF IRELAND.
Ireland has done wonders. Up to the end of February nearly 100,000 Irishmen from the Green Isle alone had joined the army, while the Irish race from Great Britain and the Dominions had sent at least 250,000 men to the colors. I make no claim for Ireland, except that Ireland is doing her duty, declared Mr. John Redmond at Manchester last month. "Our record is one of which we can be proud. If we turn for a moment to the record of performances at the front I think we Irishmen can hold up our heads. Sir John French is an Irishman; he springs from good-old Irish stock. Admiral Beatty is an Irishman from the County Wexford. Admiral Carden, who is bombarding the Dardanelles, is an Irishman from Tipperary. The lieutenant commander of the destroyer that sank the U1- the other day is a Creagh, from County Clare. And if we leave the high in rank and go down to the rank and file, I think the name of Michael O'Leary, V.C. will be forever associated with the history of this war. If you look at the performances at the front from another point of view and look at the casualty lists, and see how whole regiments of Irish troops have been almost wiped out. I do not think any man will be found to deny that Ireland is doing her duty. In Lancashire alone 40,000 Irishmen have enlisted."

Interesting Personality. EX-NAVAL CARPENTER D. MANGAN. RECALLS CARPENTARIA EXPEDI TION.
Doing something to the front doorstep of his private house in Stevedore-street, reminding him of the trade he had followed from boyhood, ex-Naval Carpenter Denis Mangan, was discovered on a recent Monday. A little, old man, bordering upon 8o, he was quickly chatting of reminiscences associated with Williamstown, his early life here and his indirect share in the Burke and Wills ill-fated expedition of 186o. "And you were born, Mr. Mangan?" "At Kilrush, County Clare, Ireland." "By what vessel did you come to Australia?" "By the chooner Harriet, 110 tons, Captain Picken. I acted as second officer and carpenter. We took 168 days; she was one of the old "galliot" build. On arrival, we were taken up the Yarra to discharge. I remember there were only two river pilots-old Captain Liley (dead) was one. All the crew was paid off here except me and the mate. After discharging, the Harriet went into the Geelong trade. This was in 1858. I was about 23 yars old. For a bit I went backwards and forwards in her. In 1859 I came ashore and took work with Dove and Oswald, ship-owners, Nelson place. They had a floating dock moored off Ann-street, What's called "The Gem" now, used to be called "the Comet pier." After the ill-fated Comet, that, like the steamer Citizen, disappeared on the way down with a lot of diggers on board, going to the New Zealand rush. When I left that firm I joined the P. and O. Co.'s service-got carpenter of the R.M.S. Jeddo. Made voyages in her and a couple of others. When that firm took the mail contract, they agreed to burn only English coal, and they had five or six hulks out in the bay here, forming a coal depot for the English supplies. "Then there were only two or three little schooners in the Sydney coal trade. What they used to do was to load up 400 or 500 tons, enough to take them to Sydney and back, so that they had to have a depot of the Clara Symes and other hulks. They made me carpenter of these; wages was 13/- a day. Captain Vander decken (some name like that) had general charge, and Mr. Walters was mate. One of the hulks was the J.D. Dare: she's owned by the Melbourne Steamship Company now-over 1oo years old. She brought a load of women convicts here." "And when did your experiences with the Victorian Navy commence?" "With the H.M.S. Victoria, under Captain Norman, in 1860. About the time of the New Zealand war, and the H.M.S. Pelorus was here, lying off Williamstown. She was ordered to New Zealand, and the Victoria had to attend her as a despatch boat. I never saw a vessel you could do so much with as the Victoria: handy anywhere."
SEARCH FOR BURKE AND WILLS. In order to make clear in a sentence or two why it was that Carpenter Mangan, with Captain Norman and 96 others, went a special trip to the Gulf of Carpentaria in the R.M.S. Victoria, the following may explain: "On the 20th August, 1860, the Burke and Wills expedition, with their camels, left the Royal Park, Melbourne, in the presence of hundreds of people, among whom was the writer. Cooper's Creek was reached on October 19th. R. O'Hara Burke, who was the leader of the expedition, and a martinet, suddenly took it into his head to leave the rest, and with three members of the party-Wills, King and Gray-cross the continent to the Gulf of Carpentaria. In this they succeeded, and returned on their tracks to Cooper's Creek, where all but King (who lived or "nardoo" with the blacks) died. It was to try and catch the party some- where about the Gulf that the Victoria was dispatched to Northern Queensland." Mr. Mangan: "I believe I'm the only one on that Carpentaria trip now alive. How I came to join it was, I was working at the Firefly, that had come down from Brisbane or Rockhampton, and old George Heriot, father of the Mayor, said to me, 'There's a chance for a young fellow like you.' Well, I went up to Melbourne (it was said to be an eighteen months' trip), got examined, passed the doctor, and shipped as carpenter. The Firefly accompanied us, and when the wind wasn't favorable, we used to tow her, because we had both steam and sail, too. At length we got about Torres Straits, and from Sir Charles Hardy's Island got a signal. We wasn't long before we found a barque ashore, called the Lady Kinnard, laden with horses and copper ingots going up to China. The night before, in the dark, we'd lost sight of the Firefly, and, on the other side of the island, discovered her ashore. She had 30 horses on board. Four were dead, but we got the rest out by cutting a hole in her side." The. narrator then went on to explain how the Gulf of Carpentaria was reached, and the re-shipped horses (after the Firefly was patched up and re-floated) were put on shore in charge of Mr. Lansborough, who had gone up with the Victoria. Mr. Mangan told of how the Victoria's boats were put in requisition to pull some 12 or 20 miles up the Albert River, where they had to remain for several weeks at a stretch, with the natives looking down upon them from the trees fringing the bank, strict watches being kept. When the provisions ran out, one boat would return to the Victoria for more, Mr. Mangan's association with the R.M.S. Victoria led him eventually to continue in the Victorian Naval Service, both as carpenter of H.M.S. Nelson and H.M.S. Cerberus, ultimately retiring after 34 years on pension.

MOONLIGHTS GAOLER
LINK WITH BUSHRANGING DAYS

The sixties were stirring times in New South Wales and Victoria. The voice of the old fossicker, now an almost extinct species, was heard in the land, and bewhiskered, red shirted bushrangers laid in wait for him in lonely gullies, past which the coach track wound on its way to the nearest town. In those days a policeman often had a life that was by no means all beer and cold-pie. He was at times called upon to face a ride through the bush on the box seat of a coach, which, besides two or three shivering passengers, also carried a few boxes of gold. His chance of getting a few ounces of lead from an old-fashioned, long barrelled revolver was a trifle better than the present-day constable's likelihood of drawing a prize in Tattersall's sweep.

"I thought we were in for a little potting practice the day I saw Thunderbolt riding along the mountain-side, about 150 yards from the coach," declared ex-Gaol Governor John Cotter when recalling the other day some incidents of bygone times. Mr. Cotter was a constable at the time he referred to, and was acting as mail guard on the Glen Innes coach. "We had two passengers," he said, and one of them was a magistrate. Just as we were going up the Devil's Pinch I saw a horseman riding along the side of the ranges, and it didn't need a second glance to assure me it was the notorious Thunderbolt. We had such excellent descriptions of him that there could be no mistake. He had his eye on the coach, too, and seemed to be debating with himself whether to gallop over to us or not. I settled the question for him by drawing my revolver. He saw the action, realised that I had the drop on him, and rode away. The magistrate was greatly perturbed when he saw my revolver come out. He was still more upset when he learned how close he had been to Thunderbolt without the railing of a dock to separate them. The horseman I saw was Thunderbolt all right, because he was present at the Uralla races on the following day, and was on his way there when he passed our coach. Forty-eight hours after wards he was shot by Senior-Con stable Walker,"

Guarding Moonlight.
While on the subject of bushranger. Mr. Cotter called to mind the capture of Captain Moonlight, whose real name was Scott, and his sub sequent execution. It is a generally accepted belief that Moonlight was a well-educated man and claimed descent from a good old English family. Mr. Cotter, who, in the capacity of gaol official, spent a lot of time in the bushranger's society, regards Scott as having been a man who had received an ordinary education, but had missed no opportunity of improving himself. Owing to Moonlight's excitable Temperoament and daring nature great difficulty was experienced by the gaol authorities in getting warders to guard him while he was awaiting execution. Mr. Cotter was brought down from Maitland, and he, with another warder, afterwards took it in turns to watch the desperado while he was in the condemned cell.

"One morning," said Mr. Colter, "Moonlight became outrageous. He was shouting and bawling at the top of his voice, and he had the wits scared out of the warders. Seven of them had to be relieved. At last the deputy-governor came along and he said, 'What the hell's the matter with that fellow Moonlight ? This is the seventh man I have sent to him. Do you think you can manage him ?"
"I said I'd have a try. 'What's up, Scott ?' I asked, as I looked through the grating of the cell door.
"Do you call those men warders?" he said, angrily. 'I call them Johnny Warders. They don't know how to manage a man. All I did was to call out to my mate Rogan, and they started to make a fuss about it.' He promised me he would be quiet, and he was. For a week before he was executed, I and another man stood guard over him. He asked me as a favor to remain with him on the night before his execution, as he said strangers irritated him. The governor asked me if I would take it on, and I told him I was not afraid, "There's only one thing," I said. 'That woman Black going to see him so often. She might drop some poison in the matting.' The governor replied that he could not interfere with the visits of this woman. 'You must just keep your weather eye on her," he said.

? Terrible Night.
Moonlight, got no poison, and he gave no trouble. He spent his last night on earth dictating to a clerk a long account, covering 21 pages of foolscap, of the Egerton bank robbery in Victori,. for which he had been sentenced to five years, and of which he said he was innocent .

"It was a terrible night," proceeded the ex-governor, "but I carried him through. About 2 o'clock in the morning he had a sleep, and covered his head with the bedclothes. I was in a regular fidget, for I didn't know whether he was dead or alive. Rogan, who was in the other condemned cell, asked to be called at 3 a.m. to say some prayers. He was fast asleep at that hour, so we didn't waken him. As a matter of fact, he was always praying.

"Moonlight and Rogan were executed together at 9 o'clock. Ad dressing Rogan, Moonlight remarked, 'Well, Rogan, we made one great mistake. Good-bye, old man.' Moonlight wanted to make a speech, but Rogan stopped him.

During the long career as a police constable, warder, and gaol governor, Mr. Cotter had many exciting experiences with refractory prisoners. On one occasion he frustrated a well-planned attempt to escape by the two desperadoes. Horn and Baxter, who were undergoing sentences of 15 years and 10 years respectively. That was during the late Sir John Cecil Read's term as governor of Darlinghurst Gaol. On another occasion he was nearly knifed by a vicious prisoner named McDonald. It seemed a fateful coincidence that the warder who pacified this man and took him away was after wards killed by another prisoner. Quinlan, a rare desperado, was searched when handed over to the gaol authorities, but a concealed weapon was overlooked. With this he murdered Warder Elliott, and was sentenced to death. He was reprived, and after doing the best part of 14 years, be went to Bega, and murdered a farmer. For this second murder he was executed at Goulburn.

Mr. Cotter was born at Kingston, County Clare, Ireland, and last month celebrated his 73rd anniversary of his birthday. He joined the New South Wales police in 1866, and in 1875 changed over into the Prisons Department, in which branch he served for over 30 years at Bathurst, Berrima, Maitlandnd, Darlingrhurst, Biloela, Mudgee, and Tamworth gaols. He is now living at Bondi (Sydney) in the enjoyment of a pension.—Sunday "Sun."
(Old hands state that Moonlight was on Canning Downs many years ago.)

EUREKA STOCKADE REVOLT.
DEATH OF MICHAEL TUOHY.
Michael Tuohy, the last of the State prisoners who stood their trial in the Criminal Court at Melbourne in connection with the revolt at the Eureka Stockade on Sunday morning, December 3, 1854 died at the Ballarat Hospital on Friday last from pneumonia and
senile decay (says the Ballarat correspondent of "The Age"). The deceased pioneer, who was a widower, 85 years of age, arrived in Sydney from County Clare, Ireland, in 1847. In the early fifties he reached Ballarat and worked on the Eureka, and other diggings. Trouble subsequently arose on the field in respect to the licenses of the diggers, who determined on armed resistance against constituted authority, under the leadership of Peter Lalor. About 40 of the insurgents were killed in the fight with the British troops at the stockade, while Captain Wise, of the 40th Regiment, and five privates belonging to the Imperial forces lost their lives in the combat. Tuohy and 12 other diggers who fought with him inside the stockade were captured by the troops and all- were taken to Melbourne and arraigned on charges of high treason. The prisoners were gratuitously defended by. Messrs. R. D. Ireland and B. C. Aspinall, eminent criminal counsel, and all were acquitted. Tuohy, after the trials, continued his search for gold at the Ballarat and other diggings in Victoria, but in later years he followed the rushes in New Zealand. He met with success, and on settling down to farming pursuits in the Ballan district he was worth about £10.000. While he was awaiting trial in 1854-55 a party of adventurers jumped his rich claim on the Eureka, and on his acquittal he spent a good deal of money in an unsuccessful endeavor to eject them. For many years. Tuohy. who was almost blind, resided on a small farm abutting on the Daylesford-road, which was recently destroyed by fire. The remains of the old digger, who leaves one son. were interred in the Ballan Cemetery on Monday.

He was born in County Clare, Ireland, in 1839, and came to South Australia in the ship Sultana in August, 1850, with his parents, who settled in the city until the goldfields in Victoria broke out. Mr. Byrne, then a lad, and his father proceeded thither, but their luck was not good. Eventually they decided to come back to South Australia and take up land. A block was selected at Sheaoak Log, and later they removed to Saddle- worth. By this time Mr. Byrne had reached manhood, and he entered into the road-carting business with a bullock team, his route being principally between Port Adelaide and Burra. In 1871 he went to Warooka, where he had taken up new country. He remained there until his death. He was a man of upright character, whose word was his bond, and he will be sincerely regretted by a host of friends in all walks of life. He left a widow, five sons, six daughters, and several grand- children.

He arrived in Brisbane in the year 1863 in the sailing ship Norman Morrisey, and entered the service of Mr Rawnsley, of Winton, Government Surveyor, with whom he stayed seven years, in the days when camping in the bush was more dangerous than at present. Among his experiences he witnessed many native corroborees and strange features and customs of black life. Subsequently the late Mr. Scanlan took up pig and dairy farming at Sampson Vale, disposing of the same to advantage, and started a grocery business in Paddington, but commercial exigencies compelled him to sell out and adopt the calling of a cab proprietor, in which his cheery temper and civility made him a general favourite.

The Late Mr. M. F. Neylon.
A WORTHY PIONEER.

The death of Mr M. F. Neylon, which took place at "Highview," Jolimont, on 31st March, removes a very old colonist and a well-known resident of the Western District. Born in County Clare, Ireland, in 1832, he left for Australia in 1849, landing at Geelong early in 1850. He was amongst the very first on the Ballarat goldfields, afterwards going to the "rushes" at Castlemaine, Bendigo and the Ovens, at all of which places he met with more or less success. In 1862 he took up the Stonyhurst Estate, near Beeac, where he resided for some years, in 1865 he acquired the Black Rock property, a few miles from Camperdown and in 1874 he purchased some properties in the township itself, amongst them being the Commercial Hotel, which he conducted as a flourishing concern for a number of years. During this period be made further purchases of land, this time in the neighborhood of Cobden. About 25 years ago he returned to Stonyhurst, in the management of which he took an active part until about two years ago, when the infirmities of advancing years compelled him to retire. He had passed through some stirring times, and until comparatively recently was a man of boundless energy. He was at all times a plucky investor and always had great confidence in the future of Australia. He was one of the original shareholders in the Geelong to Melbourne railway, was amongst the first to support export of frozen meat and later the manufacture of butter on co-operative principle, he was fond of sport in all its forms, particularly horseracing. and bred and raced horses as far back as the fifties; and although he never managed to get hold of anything really first-class, he won numerous races throughout the Western District where his colours were very popular. Amongst the horses he raced 20 years ago were Emancipation, Plebian, and Shandon, very successful performers, and latterly Highview carried his colors with a fair amount of success, this horse being trained by a very old friend of the late Mr Neylon, in Mr Harry Harrison. Having acquired wealth he did not overlook his responsibilities and was a generous supporter of charitable institutions. He was a life member of the Camperdown Mechanics' Institute, in consideration of financial aid given. He was also a trustee of the local showground and materially assisted in inducing the society to take up its present excellent site. He was always an ardent supporter of the Camperdown Turf Club and in the distant past, when that institution was not in such a flourishing condition as now, the deceased gentleman was always ready to dip his hand in his pocket to clear off its debt. He was a keen student of men and affairs and knew the history of almost every civilised nation. He leaves a widow, three daughters and five sons to mourn their loss.

The surviving members of the family are Messrs John Neylon (Malvera), P. T. Neylon, of Black Rock (Camperdown), F. Neylon (Stonyhurst), C H. Neylon (Shire Engineer, Foot scray) and Dr L. L. Neylon (at present in a military hospital in England, and who has recently been made a Captain in the Royal Army Medical Corps). The daughters are Mrs A. C. Mickle (Camperdown), Mrs W. J. Toohey (Sandringham) and Miss Neylon ("Highview," Jolimont). Two of the grandsons (Lieut. C. A. Mickle and Bombardier Neylon) are on active service, the latter being in France at present. The body was brought to Camperdown by the mid-day train yesterday and was later laid to rest in the R.C. portion of the Camperdown cemetery, the Rev. Father Ryan reading the burial service. The funeral was a very large one and included many prominent residents of the town and district. Numerous wreaths covered the coffin, including one from the President and Councillors of the Heytesbury Shire. The coffin was borne to the grave by four of the late Mr Neylon's employees, all of whom had been in his employ for 20 years or over. They were Messrs C. Pope, A Sangster, J. Grant and H. Greenbank. The pall-bearers were Messrs Jas. Gillie, H. Harrison, J. Dwyer, G. Chamberlain, W. T. Manifold, Geo. Armstrong, H. G. Stansmore, Donald M'Donald, W. O. Read, Campbell M'Arthur, and J. J. Burns (of Geelong). The mortuary arrangements were in charge of Mr King, of Melbourne and Messrs Collie and Brennan had charge of the funeral arrangements. As a mark of respect to the late Mr Neylon, the Hampden Shire Council yesterday adjourned its meeting for a time.

A FATAL FALL
CORONER'S INQUIRY.
The death of a man named Francis Claffey, as the result of a fall in the yard of the Agricultural Hotel on Saturday last, formed the subject of an inquiry by Mr D. M'Dougall (District Coroner) at the Courthouse yesterday afternoon. Constable Rankin deposed that on Saturday afternoon, about 12.30, he received a telephone call from Mr Janson, and proceeded to his hotel in Munro-street. In a room at the hotel witness saw the body of deceased. He was shown some steps leading to the forage room of the hotel stable; the steps were fairly steep, and between 10 and 11 feet in height, from ground to top; there was no hand rail. Witness was shown a depression in the ground alongside the steps. Examined the body of deceased and saw a mark on the left forehead; ascertained that deceased was born in County Clare, Ireland; that he was 64 years of age, and unmarried. He was said to have a brother, a blacksmith, on the Richmond River.

Dr. Bowman deposed that he was called at 12.45 on Saturday to Janson's Hotel, and there saw the body of a man on a bed; was told his name was Francis Claffey; he looked to be over 60 years of age; he was quite dead, and the body still warm. On examination found a cut and bruise on the forehead, and the neck was dislocated between first and second vertebrae. There were no other marks or injuries. Concluded that deceased met his death from a dislocated neck, the result, witness heard, of a fall. A fall of six or seven feet would cause the injury described. He saw the steps but did not think them at all dangerous; they would be better with a hand-rail. Daniel Barry, laborer, of Jerry 's Plains, stated that he was at Janson's Hotel on Saturday about noon. He knew deceased as the groom at the hotel; saw him coming down the steps at the stable carrying a kerosene tin full of horse feed. When about six feet from the ground he seemed to fall straight forward off the steps to the ground. Deceased did not moan or move, but his mouth moved. Helped remove him in to the room. Deceased was dead when witness went to him. No one was near deceased when he fell. Witness noticed the mark on the ground. Deceased was perfectly sober when witness saw him earlier that day.

OBITUARY.
MR. THOMAS KERIN.

Mr. Thomas Kerin, the well-known Mount Gambier East farmer, who died on September 5, at his residence, O.B, Flat, and whose death was announced in the "Watch" of the 6th last, had an active and successful life. He was a native of County Clare, Ireland, where he was born 74 years ago, and his early activities were connected with the soil. He left Ireland for Australia with his father and three brothers in November, 1864, in the ship Matilda Atheline, and reached Port Adelaide in February of 1865, which made him a colonist of 51 years. They worked at Mount Barker for twelve months, and in 1867 he and his brothers Patrick, Michael, and John, drove a team of bullocks overland to Mount Gambier, and bought from the Crown a good farm at Carter and Broadribb's old station, beyond Yahl. They were accompanied by their father and mother and sister. After two years pioneering Mr. Thomas Kerin's brothers disposed of the farm to him, and left for Victoria, where they took up land. Mr. T. Kerin, who was not afraid of hard labor, and plenty of it, continued the pioneering work which had been begun. The hardest part of it was clearing off the timber. The country was covered with a dense forest of several kinds of trees, which prevented one seeing further than 60 or 70 yards. The first year they were there they managed to clear 25 acres. He succeeded in due course, and made money. Some years afterwards he purchased a block of land near Yahl, from Mr. C. Blume, and transferred his home there, in order to be near a school, for the benefit of his family. In 1890 he shifted back to the old station, but did not remain long, and returned to Yahl, where he and his family resided for about 10 years. Some 12 years ago, on the first subdivision of the Moorak Estate, he purchased a splendid block on the eastern side of the Port MacDonnell road, a little over four miles from Mount Gambier. He erected a fine residence upon it, and made it his home for the rest of his life. His latest land purchase was a block of 80 acres at Yahl from Mr. E. Norman. Mr. Kerin was for many years a member of the Agricultural and Horticultural Society, and also a committeeman. He was a member of the committee of St. Paul's Church for a good many years, and was a member of the St. Laurence O'Tool's Branch of the H.A.C.B.S. from its foundation. Mr. Kerin was a keen sportsman, and for some years ran horses at several of the smaller meetings in the district. The first race Mr. Harry Hopwood, the well known Mount Gambier rider, won in his life was at a picnic meeting at Allandale, on Mr. Kerin's Little Harry, which was bred by the owner. Lady Clare, a racing mare of local note, was also bred by him. The late Mr. Pat Kenny used, when a lad, to ride for him.

"Mud Oven" WESTERN SOLDIER-COOK. FRIENDS THOUGHT HE WAS DEAD. Forbes, Saturday. On the military records his name is given as John Walsh, No. 4192, 1st Field Artillery. To his friends in the west he is "Mud Oven," one of the champion cooks who delight the hearts of shearers in the sheds out back. I found him at Lynch's Hotel at Forbes, and sought to interview him, but it was a hard task. There appeared no chance of getting him to sit for a photo. "No," said "Mud Oven," "that's no good to me, What would the fellows in Egypt think of me when they saw I had been advertising my photo in the papers? They'd think I was a coot."

Incidentally it was learned that "Mud Oven" was a native of Ennis, County Clare, Ireland. He saw a lot of service in the British navy, where he served for twelve years. He was a gunner, and holds first-class certificates. Part of his time in the navy was served under Sir Harry Rawson, who at the time was in command of the St. George. The late Sir Harry was afterwards Governor of New South Wales, and "Mud Oven" ran across his old commander one fine day at Condobolin, during one of His Excellency's country tours. The old sailor-Governor recognised, his former gunner and shook him warmly by the hand. Gunner Walsh has lost three brothers on the west front, and a fourth, who remained in the navy, went down with one of the fighting ships in that grim battle in the North Sea. The cook, sheds tears when he thinks of his brave brothers, but somehow it strikes one they are tears of pride as well as sorrow. "How did you come to take the war game on?" a bystander asked. "It was this way," said "Mud Oven." "I had just finished up cooking at Mr. C. H. Edol's Mulgutherie station two years ago, and somehow I got hold of a paper which described the British retreat at Mons, I think it was. That was enough for me. These lads must want more assistance or they would never go back like that, I said to myself. I was making across country at the time, and when the call came I was near Quirlndi, so up I went to the recruiting depot and enlisted. "What followed in camp and in Egypt is not of much consequence. Gallipoli was hell, though. I was in the first landing there, and lasted so long that I thought I was going to come right through without a scratch. Bob Bing, a Forbes soldier, was with me part of the time. Bob got clean through without getting a wound, and now he is doing good work in France. I do not know how people got it into their heads that I was dead. So far as I know I only wrote one letter from the trenches, in which I forwarded Matt Lynch £3 I owed him. Is that right, Matt?" "Quite correct," said Mr. Lynch. "Well, I was on active service for one year and 103 days, or altogether, counting camp and Egypt, my term of service was one year 277 days. You can see my discharge, which shows. 'Conduct. good.'

"'They tell me it was shrapnel got me. One pellet went through my neck, and would have settled me only I am pretty tough. Another big slug got me on the stomach, and put me to sleep for a while. The doctors and nurses at the hospitals did great work, and many an Australian soldier owes his life to these heroes and heroines. To finish up my yarn, I was invalided back to Australia, and received my discharge last month. When I came west and started to single out old friends they got great surprises. They all thought I was dead. It had got about that I was killed in action early, so their surprise was pardonable. Anyhow, I am fit and well, and will beat the roll call at Warroo shed, a few miles away from here, next week. I have an idea I will be the cook at Warroo this shearing." Mulgutherie, the last station "Mud Oven" cooked at before enlisting, is a portion of Big Burrawang, and is Mr. C. H. Edol's portion of the old station. In days gone by Big Burrawang was the biggest shed out-back, having pens for over a hundred shearers. The present Prime Minister of Australia should remember Burrawang, for he made a success of an organising tour there about 25 years ago, after his memorable tour of Forbes district and the west. The shearers responded so liberally that Mr. Hughes was enabled to return to Sydney, and a couple of months later he won a seat in the State House. The above, of course, has nothing to do with "Mud Oven," but it serves to show that the big station in Forbes district has helped to pave the way to success of the Prime Minister. "Mud Oven," cook, good union man, and soldier, has done his bit. He does not want it advertised, though. One of the most modest men the writer has ever tried to get a story from is this man. His friends about Forbes have been giving him a great reception, but "Mud Oven" does not like flattery. He would sooner be left alone. One can appreciate such feeling, and to find it is quite refreshing, especially to the newspaper man. "Try and get the lads, and every one else, to vote for compulsory service," were "Mud Oven's" parting words. "There are many in Australia to-day who are badly wanted in the firing-line, and they should be given a chance of doing their bit. Good luck to the brave lads who are in khaki now, in Flanders and Egypt, keeping up the good name of Sunny Australia."-Sydney "Sun."

OBITUARY. MR. HENRY BROCKMAN. Another member of the old pioneer families who have left their mark in the history of Western Australia passed away on Monday night, when Mr. Henry Brockman died at his residence in South Perth after a brief illness. The late Mr. Brockman was the son of Mr. W. L. Brockman, who was one of the settlers in this State in 1829.

For about a quarter of a century he has been private secretary to Archbishop Carr, his predecessor in that position being Father Stevens, who had performed such duties since Dr. Carr's arrival in Victoria in 1887. In addition to being dean of the Cathedral, Dean McCarthy has been vicar-general and chancellor of the archdiocese of Melbourne. His occupancy of the position of dean dates from a few years back, when he succeeded Dean Phelan on the latter's elevation to the Bishopric of Sale. Prior to that he had been parish priest at Clifton Hill for a number of years. He was also for a considerable time inspector of Catholic schools.
A native of County Clare, Ireland, Dean McCarthy in the land of his adoption has won the love and respect of both clergy and laity. His fairness and justice are gene- rally acknowledged, and these traits, together with other of his personal qualities, have endeared him to the entire Catholic community. His appointment as Bishop of Sandhurst will be very popular.

THE INVENTION OF THE SUBMARINE
Two weeks after the outbreak of war in Europe, and one month before the first British ships were sunk by a Herman submarine, there, died in Newark, New Jersey, U.S.A., the man
whose life work resulted in the evolution of a workable submarine from a clumsy idea. Than the perfection of a deadly under-seas craft John Holland, born in County Clare, Ireland, in 1842, had no other passion— save one. That one was that Ireland should have autonomy. These two passions supplemented each other. As long as England remained mistress of the seas Holland saw no hope for an Irish republic. It is said that 40 years ago, when Holland first undertook the rather sizeable contract of destroyed the British navy with an under-water boat which stuck in the mud, with an engine as irresponsible as a hypochondriac and a hull that leaked, he furnished the humorous journalists of the world with more and better material than had any other person or object (with the possible exception of Abraham Lincoln) for a hundred years. Holland and his boat were the epitome of the ridiculous. Reared in Ireland amid the stirring scenes of the 19th century, he received a good rudimentary education. He became a teacher in a Christian Brothers' school in Ire land. He heard of the attempts of David Bushnell and Robert Fulton to build a submersible craft, and he read of the declaration made to Fulton by Lord St. Vincent, when that inventor sought to interest him in the submarine. Such a craft, said the sea lord, was of no value to the nation that commanded the seas. Holland became obsessed by the idea, and worked continuously on submarine plans. Far from getting backers, he lacked even listeners. Then he went to America hoping to find financial help there. When he arrived in Boston he was ill, and was taken to a public hospital. During a long and tedious convalescence he worked over his plans, and he completed them. He found no backers in the New World, and was finally obliged to lay aside his plans and take up school teaching in Patterson, New Jersey. He saved his surplus, and built an experimental boat of wood, which he ever afterward insisted contained all the essential ideas of his perfected machine. Its launching, however, was a tragic failure from all Standpoints other than those of the comics, and Holland, in a, rage, towed his pathetic craft upstream one dark night and sank her in the mud, where she remains to this day. A little later he laid his ideas before an Irish patriots' society that was in control of a large 'skirmishing fund,' and the society decided to devote 80,000 dollars to the perfection of Holland's boat. The first one failed because of faulty construction, but demonstrated the correctness of his principles. Encouraged, he went ahead with a second one, which was a complete success. Holland gave up school teaching, and devoted his entire time to submarine navigation, and kept the people around the waters of New York highly entertained by his experiments. He cruised around, and bobbed up and down, causing stories of sea serpents, whales, and derelicts to riot on the eastern coast. The newspapers gave volumes to his activities and dubbed his craft the 'Fenian Ram.' His greatest improvement over other submarines was the rapidity with which he could submerse his vessel. Up to this time all submersibles had sunk on an even keel, consuming 10 to 15 minutes in the operation— plenty of time for an enemy to get home a fatal shot Holland (he said he took the porpoise for his model) was able to rise to the surface and disappear in five seconds. About this time the patriots (after the fashion of Irish patriots) fell out, and one faction 'kidnapped' the Ram, towed it to New Haven, Conn., hauled it on to dry land, and stored it in an outlying shed of a brass factory. It is still there. Inventors and mechanics in all countries, especially in America and France, continued to work on submarines, and in 1895 the United States Navy Department advertised for plans for a submarine, to be built at the Government's expense. Many plans were submitted, and when the best was selected, it was discovered that
the inventor was Holland. Then began a long struggle with officials and professionals, who insisted on 'improving' his specifications. Holland was not an engineer, but he was a trained draftsman, and he had no patience with the technicians, whom, he insisted, were revising his plans down ward. Many subsequent failures were credited by Holland to these modifications, and finally, in disgust, his company refunded to the Government 95,000 dollars, and Holland, in anger and despair, once more retired from the submersible stake. Then he came back, with a final request to build one boat exclusively on his own plans. The result was the 'Holland,' completed in 198, the first practicable submersible craft, and probably the most important war vessel that has been constructed since the beginning of time. The Holland was 50ft. long, and carried one torpedo tube. It could submerse in five seconds, and responded like a pure bred to its operator's touch. It was completed a few weeks before the blowing up of the Maine, and its wild inventor besought the Government for permission to take it into Santiago Harbor and blow up the Spanish fleet in retaliation. He caused the Government some real uneasiness. The Holland participated in the annual manoeuvres off New port in 1900, and every officer in the navy testified to its potentiality. Admiral Dewey, hero of Manila Bay, in an address before the Committee on Naval Affairs, said, among other things, that the moral effect, to my mind, is infinitely superior to mines or anything else of the kind. These things, moving under water, wear out the hardiest. With two of them in Galveston all the navies of the world could not blockade the place.' In 1904, England began, building submarines after plans purchased from Holland's company. In 1905 Japan followed suit, and endeavored, unsuccessfully, to induce Holland to go to Japan to supervise the construction of her submarines. In his Newark home, however, he drew the plans for the present Japanese submersible fleet. He always contended that Japan and Germany were the only two countries that had the true Holland submarine, and he died out of sorts with his own country because of the alterations that had been made in his specifications. However, all the submarines of all the navies are essentially of the Holland type.

REV. FATHER CLUNE.
The Rev. Father Francis Clune (whose photo is printed herewith) who went away as chaplain, with a New South Wales battalion, and has performed deeds gallantry in France was vice-rector at the Passionist monastary at Glen Osmond for five or six years prior to leaving for Sydney about eight years ago (says "The Advertiser"). After seeing service on Gallipoli he went to France, and last Christmas he was wounded in the eyes by shrapnel. On his recovery, he returned to the front, and early this year was mentioned in one of Field Marshal Sir Douglas Haig's despatches for gallantry.-. "It's a matter of living or dying with the boys now, and I am going right through with this war," he remarked, when he was leaving Australia for the front, and a recent cable message from London shows that these were no idle words. The message stated:-"Father Clune, a bearded padre in a New South Wales battalion, is famous for haunting the front trenches, despite contrary orders, on a pretence of carrying important letters, and other subterfuges. He took prisoner and brought in six Prussian Guardsmen, amidst the cheering of the Australians." Father Clune was born in County Clare about 45 years ago, and was 25 years of age when he arrived in Australia after a sojourn in America. He joined the Passionist Order in Australia, and having completed his novitiate, studied for the priesthood in the Goulburn monastery. He engaged in missionary work in practically every State for about 15 years after his ordination, and at the time of his enlistment was Superior of his Order and priest-in charge of St. Brigid's Church at Marrickville, near Sydney. His elder brother is Archbishop of Perth and Chaplain-General in the Australian (Imperial Forces.

MERITORIOUS SERVICE
IMPERIAL MEDAL FOR MR. R. DRISCOLL.
HOBART, Thursday.— Imperial service medals have been presented to ex Supt. Richard Driscoll and Senior Constable Quinn, for long and meritorious service in the Police Department of Tasmania. Mr. Driscoll, now a resident of Devonport, hails from County Clare, Ireland, and was born in 1849, coming to the colonies when a young man. After spending a short time in Victoria he landed at Hobart, and two years afterwards he joined the police. In 1869-70 he had charge of part of the district of George Town, when gold was discovered at Waterhouse, and he remained there till August 1, .1874, when he was promoted to the charge of the district of Mersey, Latrobe, and West Devon, a position he retained for a quarter of a century, residing at Devonport. In 1899, when the centralisation of police was brought about, he was appointed Supt. of Police for the North, and lived at Launceston. When he left Devonport his high character and personal qualities were such that he was made the recipient of an address, couched in most flattering terms, and a silver tea and coffee service, valued at about £60. Upon the death of Supt. Scott eight or nine years ago, Mr. Driscoll was again transferred to Devonport, and three years ago last October, having reached the age limit, he retired from the force, and has since lived a life of retirement at East Devonport. He is a member of the Devonport Municipal Council.

Mr. F. O'Brien, who has reached the age limit and retires from the service to-day, is one of the oldest and best known district foremen in the South Australian railway service. He was born in Smithtown, County Clare, and with his parents came to Australia when two and a half years old, arriving in Sydney on New Year's Day, 1850. Two years later the family came to Adelaide. They settled at Kapunda, at the time the copper mine was in full swing. Mr. O'Brien was employed in the blacksmith work at the mine. In 1869 he obtained employment on the railway line then under construction to Burra. In December, 1875, he was appointed ganger at Farrell's Flat, and whilst there he did yeoman service in connection with the great breakdown near Burra, when Foreman Holmes and other officials lost their lives through a wheat special plunging into a bridge that had been washed away during the night. His ability was appreciated by his superiors, and in 1881 he was appointed construction foreman on the great northern lines, where he did excellent work. In 1889 he was transferred to the western system at Port Wakefield, where as in his previous districts he had to deal with a series of washaways. His previous experience enabled him to cope with the matter promptly and the delay to traffic was of short duration. Mr. O'Brien and his wife and daughters intend to reside at Torrensville. There are three sons, who are in the railway service-Messrs. Daniel and Austin O'Brien, of the loco. department. Petersburg; and Mr. John Joseph O'Brien, head clerk to the traffic superintendent, Wallaroo.

There are few of the old settlers of the Darling Downs who did not know the late Mr. Patrick Keating and the knowledge of his death, which took place at his late residence, the Rail way Hotel, Cambooya, on Saturday morning last, will cause a wave of sympathy to be extended to the bereaved family. Many an act of kind ness, many a deed of charity, and many a weary wanderer made cheerful at his hands will ever be remembered of the deceased. Although the most skillful medical attention, the best of nursing, and the solicitude of an affectionate family did much to assuage his sufferings he had reached the limit of his life's race at 53 years and passed away surrounded by all the sweet solace that his holy religion could give him. The deceased gentleman was the youngest son of the late Michael Keating, of Cabarlah, being himself a native of County Clare, Ireland. He was but an infant when he arrived with his parents on the Darling Downs. Mr. Keating leaves, to mourn their irreparable loss, a widow and ten children—seven daughters and three sons. Two daughters are married—Mrs. Denis Egan, of Coogar, and Mrs. Jack Murdoch, of Warwick. The remainder of the family are at home, with the exception of the eldest son, Michael, who is fighting "somewhere in France." Also surviving him are three sisters— Mrs. Higgins (Locke-street), Mrs. Stanfleld (Beaudesert), and Mrs. Hayes (Charlton), as well as one brother, Mr. Tom Keating, of Cabarlah. The funeral took place yesterday (Sunday) to the Toowoomba Cemetery and was largely attended. The Rev. Father Murphy read the last requiem offices at the graveside. The expressions of condolence are far reaching, as the late Mr. Keating was very well known, and his passing to eternity will cause many a moist eye.

Melbourne 'Punch' says that the marriage of Sir Michael O'Loghlen,, Bart, H.M.L., of Drumconora, County Clare, to Beatrice, daughter of Sir Michael Murphy, Bart., of Wyckham, Dundrum, Dublin, which has just taken place in Ireland, should excite quite an extensive interest in Melbourne, where, a few short years ago, Sir Michael O'Loghlen, Bart, H.M.L, was just Mickie O'Loghlen, son of Bryan O'Loghlen, once prominent in Victorian politics; but when Mickie was a law student at Melbourne University, a plain Irish 'gintleman' with a hard battle to make ends meet Mickie O'Loghlen had many sweethearts in St. Kilda, and now those that had the chance (and several claim they had) are biting their fingers. Mickie is Sir Michael O'Loghlen, Bart, H.M.L., with an Irish lieutenancy worth 2,000 a year, Drumconora Castle, and a big fortune left him by a maternal uncle.

WELL-KNOWN DISTRICT RESIDENT KILLED.
A sad fatality occurred between Camperdown and Kariah yesterday. At about 1.30 p.m. Mr. James M'Mahon, farmer, of Kariah, was driving to his home from Camperdown pig sale, and when crossing the old Tunboon-road the vehicle struck the culvert post, Mr. M'Mahon, who was alone, being thrown out on his head. Death, apparently, was instantaneous. Word was sent to the Camperdown police and Constable A. W. Dainty proceeded to the scene of the accident. The body was lying on the roadside. Mounted-constable T. M'Namara then arrived and the body was placed in the waggon and brought to the Camperdown police station, where Dr. Desailly made an examination and pronounced life extinct. Mr. M. Quinn, J.P., the Deputy-Coroner, attended and gave an order for burial. An inquest will be held at a date to be fixed. Constable M'Namara, in his report, states that it was evident from the position in which the deceased was found that the accident was due to misjudgment of deceased when reaching the culvert. The late Mr. M'Mahon was an old and very highly-respected resident of district and his untimely end will come as a shock to a large circle of friends. He was 68 years of age and was born in County Clare, Ireland. He arrived in Victoria in the year 1852, first residing at Birregurra, but many years since he removed to Kariah, where he successfully followed farming pursuits up to the time of his death. His end removes one who was for long creditably associated with the history of this district, and sincere and wide spread sympathy will be felt for the bereaved widow and family, including four sons and four daughters. The sons are Messrs. Joseph (Kariah), James and John (Bookar) and Patrick (Skibo) and the daughters Mrs. Greaves, of Mount Myrtoon and Misses Elizabeth, Catherine and Sarah, of Kariah.

CR P. CUNNINGHAM, J.P. Another of our oldest residents-Mr Patk Cunningham-passed out of life on Friday last, after an illness extending over months, though during the greater part of his life time he enjoyed perfect health and was, considering his years, a hearty, active man - one of the best known figures in our midst. Originally a teacher under the old denominational system, he abandoned his profession nearly half a century ago, there after marrying at Jamieson in the golden days of that once flourishing place, and subsequently went on the land, securing a section at Warrenbayne, which, inspired by the memories of his homeland (Ireland) he christened " Shannon Vale,"' and on which he lived with his wife and family for some years. He ultimately sold Shannon Vale and came to reside in Benalla where he played an active part in hotelkeeping, storekeeping, and public life. For years he represented Warrenbayne riding in Benalla Shire Council, resigning that position quite recently on account of the weight of age (for he was 84 years old when he died) and rapidly declining health. For a time, too, he represented the Central riding in the council, and over a decade ago was appointed to the honorary bench, the duties of which position he discharged with impartiality and sagacity. In his other sphere of public life-that is, the field of local politics-he was zealous, industrious and considerate, whilst his educational qualifications raised him head, neck and shoulder above the average municipal councillor; and he possessed literary attainments of no mean order. He had a mind, too, well stocked with useful knowledge, and understood clearly the needs of the country of his birth, and the prejudices which operated against the progress of the Irish nation. An ardent Home Ruler, which he always had the courage to show without fearing an enemy, gave a tone of patriotism to his character which made him popular in the eyes of his own countrymen, at least, and a spirited advocate of what he conceived to be right in public administration was one of the qualities of a disposition which even his opponents in public life admired. In a private sense the deceased gentleman was kind-hearted, mellow, and agreeable, his well-furnished mind always enabling him to talk brilliantly on a great variety of intellectual subjects, while he always assumed a very humble air and an unpretentious manner. His humility, indeed, was so great that the real lustre of his life was enrobed by it. The late Mr. Cunningham, a native of County Clare (Ireland) and a widely known and deservedly respected citizen, did much good during his career, and was at all times regarded as a sterling and influential member of the H.A.C.B. Society, in which he held leading positions from time to time. By his death a widow, one son and a daughter are left to mourn the death of a good husband and father. The remains of the deceased were interred on Sunday last, the Rev. Father Dunn reading the burial service and Mr. Hanlon carrying out the mortuary arrangements.

Another Old Pioneer Gone.

A correspondent writes:-In the death of John Langtree, of Gordonvale, whose remains were laid to rest in the Gordonvale Cemetery on Monday, North Queensland has lost another of the old pioneers. He was born in County Clare, Ireland, 76 years ago. He came to Australia with his parents 73 years ago then being only three years old when he landed in Australia. In the early seventies he came to North Queensland to the Palmer Goldfields, where he tried his luck at gold mining, From there he drifted to Cooktown, and carried on business there butchering. It was in Cooktown where he met his wife and married in 1880. From Cooktown he shifted to Port Douglas, and started carrying from Port Douglas to Herberton, Mount Albion, and other mining towns in the Hinterland. However, when the Chillagoe Company started to build their, railway line from Mareeba to Chillagoe, he gave up carrying, and settled in Mount Albion, where he again started mining. He stayed there until the mines closed down, and then shifted to Mount Garnet, where he worked for the Mount Garnet Company until that place closed down. He then shifted to Nymbool and worked with the Smith Greek Company until they ceased operations. From there he went to Mackay, but having been so long in the North, he could not be contented until he got back again, finally settling in Gordonvale, where he ended his days. He leaves a wife and ten children to mourn his loss, viz., Misses. K. and C. Langtree, Messrs. Tom and Vince Langtree, Mrs. E. P. Whereat (all of Gordonvale),-Mrs. ,H. Webster , and Mrs. S. Costigan (Mackay); Mr. R. Langtree (Boonmoo), Mr. G. Langtree (Mareeba); and Sergeant ?? Langtree, A.I.F., abroad.

MR. W. F. CRENNAN.
An unusual number of the oldest residents of Mount Gambier are passing away this year, and Mr. William Francis Crennan, who died at the residence of his son, Mr. F. W. Crennan, Commercial-street East, Mount Gambier, yesterday afternoon, was one of them. Mr. Crennan had reached the great age of very nearly 89 years, and the causes of his death were really the weakness and infirmities of old age. Until some six weeks ago he enjoyed remarkably good health for a man of his age, partial blindness being his only ailment, and in his daily walks he was a familiar figure on the streets of the town. Most people knew him, and they had a cheerful word for him and he for them when they met. He was born in County Kilkenny, Ireland, in 1830, and would have been 89 years of age if he had lived till next Christmas. He was intended for the priesthood, and was educated with that end in view at the Christian Brothers' College in Kilkenny. Circumstances intervened, however, and the intention did not materialise. But Mr. Crennan kept himself well up-to-date by intelligent reading, and being a good conversationalist a talk with him was very interesting. He was ready to converse on any general subject that might arise, and hold his side up well. He was married in County Clare, Ireland, to Miss Catherine McMahon, in 1854, and four years afterwards came to Australia with his family, landing in Melbourne. He joined the police force on his arrival in that city, and being a man of over 6ft. in stature made an excellent trooper. After a time he was sent to the Heywood Station, and in 1860 while there resigned his connection with the force, and came to Mount Gambier. Since then he continued to reside in this district. For a good many years he was engaged in farming in Mount Gambier East. His wife died 17 years ago, and Mr. Crennan then retired from farm work, and came to the town to live. He had three children, and two sons--Messrs. Henry A. Crennan and Frederick W. Crennan, of Mount Gambier--survive him. He also leaves 10 grandchildren and 2 great-grandchildren. Four of his grandchildren— Messrs. Jack, Fred, George, and James Crennan--are living in the Riverina district of New South Wales and two are in Melbourne. The deceased retained remarkable vigor of mind to the last and just before he died was able to recognise all who were about him. The family desire to acknowledge the great kindness of the Right Rev. Mons. Ryan, who was very attentive to him during his last illness. Mr. Crennan was a loyal attendant at and supporter of St. Paul's Church, Mount Gambier. He was not a member of any benefit society, but was connected with several church and other agencies in the town. The funeral was held this afternoon, and was attended by a large number of friends of the family. The Right Rev. Mons. Ryan officiated at the grave-side.

PEDESTRIANISM.
DEATH OF A GREAT ATHLETE.
Died recently in Sydney T. M. Malone, regarded as one of the greatest pedestrians ever seen on the track. He was born in County Clare, Ireland, and was at one time the amateur champion of that country. It was in Australia, however, that he did his greatest running feats as a professional. In his prime he was one of the greatest all-round athletes Australia has seen, and certainly has not been surpassed by any contemporary as an all-round runner. The following tribute to his great qualities as an athlete is paid by Sir Frank S. Hewitt, the veteran English star of the sixties and seventies, who met Malone in Australia nearing the termination of his own career on the track: "Since 1865 I have seen and run against all the best men in England— I am speaking of men who could run from 50 yards to 1000 yards. First, Jim Nuttall, Sia Alverson, Dick Buttery, Rid ley, Bob Hindle of Paisley, Hayward of Rochdale, Tudsley Walsh, and Lou Myers (amateur and professional-, not one of them could duplicate the whole of Malone's performances at the distances mentioned. I do not mention the other four great champions. Anyhow, I know Samuels and Hutchens could not run up to these distances. I do not know if the other two great champions, Donaldson and Postle, could, so I do not and cannot include them with those I knew could run up to a 1000 yards fast and well. I have always thought that Malone has never been given the credit due to him. His race of 250 yards at Botany, round two corners in 25½ secs., was one of the best performances I ever saw - Malone beaten by a foot, and Hutchins all out. I have no hesitation in saying Malone was one of the best middle distance runners the world has seen, or ever will see. He was a good-hearted, good-natured, good fellow. I trust he is at peace."
