the government authorities to secure

of the ground so that she would be un
able to re-enter, but she acented the
danger and remained at home.
The government doe not desire to
lay violent hands on a woman, yet
stronger action will now have to be
taken. For day her water supply baa
been cut off and it seems that she is
ready to die in her castle to maintain
her right as she conceives them to be.
She mean to remain in possession un
til the government pay her for the
house. In 1892 her husband died with
out a will. The estate was divided and
a house on the lot where the present
house stands was assigned to Mr.

found that there were so many debts
that sonw of the property had to be
sold to pay them. Mrs. Kealy's home
wts one of the houses that was sold.
Jr.Rh T. Mulhall bought It but was
never able to secure possession.
When the property was condemned
by the government for the use of the
academy, Mulhall was paid the amount
awarded but Mr. Kealy refused to rec
ognixe the legality of the purchase.

terday's Meeting Are Conflicting
and but Little Is Known.
Believed, However, That the Premier Has Succeeded in Effecting a

minister kept secret so effectually the
discussion of yesterday cabinet coun
cil that speculation as to the results 1
slmort nugatory, and the government
pres .mjuns this morning offer most
conflicting accounts of what took place
at the meeting.
The Dally Telegraph, probably the
best informed, asserts that a cabinet
crisis was postponed until this evening,
and that discussion of the fiscal ques

meeting today, but, whatever may be
the upshot. Premier Balfour will neith
