Tiia Norn Falls as A Thnnderbult—H« Took to His Hod taut Friday ami Was Not Considered Critically H>— Consterna¬ tion Among: His Followers—OenernI Oriel in Ireland. London, Oct. 0.—Great Britain and Ireland were startled this morning by the utterly unlooked-for announce¬ ment that Charles Stewart Parnell, the noted Irish leader, had died suddenly yesterday at his home iu Brighton. It has been well known that Mr. Parnell has not enjoyed the best of health for years past, and it has been noted and widely commented upon that, since the O’Slua divorce devel ments became a matter of public noto¬ riety and political tronble came upon him, the great. Irish member of Parlia¬ ment hail grown thin' er and percepti¬ bly aged iu appearance. But nobody expected to hear of his death and no inkling as to his illness had reached the newsiiapers. Only at t his hoar (1 p. m ) has it been possible to obtain details iu regard to the death of Parnell. He died at his home, Walsingliam terrace, Brighton, at 11:30 last night.. His death is said to have been indiric ly due to a chill which he caught last week, and which at first was uot regarded of a serious netuie. Parnell, however, grew worse, and a physician was called, with the result that the patient was ordered to take to his bed. This was Friday last., and from that, lime Parnell lost strength and finally succumbed. The exact nature of the disease which caused the deatli of the Irish leader has uot been made known yet. From the day he took to his bed, how¬ ever, the state of Pcrucll’s health has been such as to necessitate the con¬ stant attention of two physicians, but iu spite of their incessant and unt.iriug efforts to prolong or iave his life, Par¬ nell gradually sank lower and lower, until he expired in the arms of Mrs. Parnell, who is utterly prostrated by the shock experienced through her husband’s death. ANOTHER ACCOUNT, Another account of Parnell’s fatal sickness is as follows: Parnell had ar¬ rived at his home in Brighton from Ire¬ land Thursday and complained of suf¬ fering from a chill. Ou Friday follow¬ ing he was unable to leave his bed; his regular physiciau was summoned and he seemed to have considered Parnell’s illness to have been of a ierious naf ure, for he soon sent for another physician, with whom he held a long eonsnlta tion over the sickness of the Irish leader. This consultation of physi¬ cians was resumed Sunday, when Par¬ nell was found to be in great, pain and apparently growing weaker every hour. His sickness was pronoonced to be the attack of acute rheumatism and every attention and care were paid the sufferer. He was carefully and untir- nglv nursed by liis wife, who hardly left his bedside from the moun-nt her husband’s illness was pronounced to be of a serious nature. Parnell, iu spile of the care and attention which he re¬ ceived, did not seem to rally from t >e rheumatism, and grew weaker and weaker. Several hours before his death he became unconscious, and so re¬ main' d until he died in intense agony. Owing to the suddenness of the Irish leader’s illness and to the belief of bis wife and of th“ attending physician that he would recover, no friends or relatives of his family or that of Mrs. Parnell were present at his bedside when he died. Mrs. Parnell and the physicians were alone in attendance upon him at tlie last moment. LIKE A THUNDERBOLT. In this city particularly the news of Parnell’s death came down like a thun¬ derbolt upon the clubs and in political circles. Nobody, so far as at first known, was even aware that he was ndlsposed, and constqnently, when it became knowr that Parnell was dead, the first idea..formed was that he had committed suicide. As the day wore on, however, it leaked out from state¬ ments of his intimate friends that Par¬ nell had complained to them recently of not feeling as well as usuhL.butit was not thought by auybody.that, there was anything dangerous in his condi tion. The Last time Parrn 11 appeared 1n public was at Creegs, in Ireland, Sept, 27, when he delivered a long speech upon the attitude and alleged inconsistency of Dillon and O'Brien. Upou that occasion Parnell stated that he was speaking in defiance of the or¬ ders of tlie doctors who were attending him and who had expressly ordered him to keep to his room. He carried his right arm in a sling and explained to inquirers that he was suffering from rheumatism. Telegrams from Dublin and other towns in Ireland and the piineipal SPRING PLACE, GA., THURSDAY, OCTOBER 22, 1891. towns of England unite In reporting that the death of Parnell has caused the greatest sensation among his sup¬ porters, principally on account of the sudden manner in which he died, in Dublin Parnell's supporters are in a state of consternation. A meeting of the friendsof Parnell was hastily called as soon as the news of his death becaui known, and it was decided that a meet- ng of all of Parnell’s followers should be called for this evening to consider what steps to take in the face of the disastrous event of their party. In an interview today Justin Me Curthy said that it was impossible to forecast the political effect of t he death of Parnell- He hoped it would lead to a complete reunion of all shades of opi don among Irishmen in general and iu the Irish Parliamentary party in particular. “Certainly,” he said, “it will not biud< r the progress of auton¬ omy, or, iu other words, the movement of Ireland.” McCarthy said that ho believed that all feeling of hostility to Parnell or of hostility between individ¬ ual members of the Irish party in Par¬ liament would be swallowed up and completely disappear in the genuine and universal regret which was exp- ricnced among irishmen at the death of Parnell. ‘‘Three weeks ago,” Me Oartby said, “we (Parnell and myself) had a long and friendly conference at my house at Chelsea, anti we mutually agreed to draw part of the Paris fund from tlie bankers in foreign capitals iu order to defray the expenses of regis¬ tering, wliich weie incurred before the split in the party.” “Before the divorce proceedings,’ aid McCarthy, iu conclusion, “I was a close friend of Parnell, whom I ad¬ mired intensely. Parnell consulted me in regard to the lamentable manifesto and 1 used all efforts in endeavoring to prevent him from issuing it to the pub¬ lic. My idea was that the issuauce of tlie manifesto would make his further leadership of the Irish party an utter impossibility.” The above is about the substance of what McCarthy said, but it was evi¬ dent that he and the members of his party were deeply affected at Parnell’s death and that all feeling of animosity to the great Irish leader had sunk be¬ neath the ilood of sorrow caused by his sudden and untimely death. Continuing McCarthy said that those who followed Parnell’s leadership un¬ til the last month had done so out of a spirit of personal devotion to the Irish leader, adding, with tlie removal of h i personality, our separation as a party ceases. Home rule does not depend any longer upon any one man. Parnell himself carried it to that, point. His work, so far as it depended upon himself alone, was done. The cause stands now be¬ yond the reach of danger of any Kind. FURTHER REPORTS The son of Dr. William Richard Som¬ ers author of the many important med¬ ical .works on disease of the brain andllie spinal cord including his “Manuel of Diseases of the Nei voe system,” who lias been attending Parnell, was the physi¬ cian who watched the closing hours of hie life. The great leader’s condition was so had throughout Tuesday that Dr. Somers was unable to leave his bedside from early that morning until Parnell breathed his last This evening Mrs. Parnell is receiving a large number of telegraphic messages from apparently, all parts of the world, all of them containing words of condo¬ lence with her in her bereayement. A dispatch sent from Brighton at 5:30 p. m. to day says that Mrs. Parnell con¬ tinues in a condition too prostrated to hu able to see any one. Her eldest daugh¬ ter is with her. The death of Parnell has not j et been registered, None of the local authorities of Brighton have been communicated with by the attending physician. Both the celebrated Dr. S oners and his son refuse to make any statement as to the cause of his death or as to the progress of his sickness on the ground that no member of the Parnell family has as yet accorded them permission to say any¬ thing on the subj' ct, and that, until they receive Rueh permission, the physicians will under no circumstances say any¬ thing in reference to Parnell’s death. The news agency states that among his complicated private affairs Parnell left unsettled the question of the custody of his wife’B younger children. “It’s no secret,” says the same authority, “that Parnell claimed to be the father of the two youngest children of Mrs, O’Shea. Hon. Joseph Chamberlain, member of parliament for West Birmingham when, interviewed regarding Parnell’s death said that it might influence the govern¬ ment to go to the country on the | recent legislation, but, be added, it was more likely that the government would en¬ deavor to press the Irish government bill, with a fair prospect that it couid be done if the opposition would adopt the same attitude toward tl is as they had done toward the English local election measure. But it would be, he thought, “TELL THE TRUTH.” late in 1803 before tlie measure could be¬ come a law. Mrs, Parnell, Parnell's step-daughter and servants, according to the latest ac¬ counts of the death of Parnell, were the only occupants of the house on Walsing- h&m Terrace when the Irish leader ex¬ pired. The end there, later reports state was one of intense agony for tlie sick man until the moment he became un¬ conscious and eventually died without pain. Captaiu O’Shea is liv ing at Brighton, coming to London daily. When he ar- arrived to day, lie called at the office of his solicitor, where he was shown a tele¬ gram from Mrs. Parnell, requesting that a e’erk lie sent at once to Brighton. Soon after another telegram, this one unsigned, arrived, saying that Parnell had committed suicide. It appears that Mr. and Mrs. Parnell fully intended having a a religious marriage ceremony performed, but the vicar of Steyning re¬ fused to officiate, on the grounds that Mrs. Parnell was a divorcad woman. The vicar, however, offered to lend the use of his church for the ceremony if Parnell found a clergyman to officiate. The bishop of the diocese then forbade the ceremonoy, as the parties were al ready civilly married. Finally, through Parnell's persevertnee, it was arranged that Rev. Mr. Penfold of St. James, Marrylebone, should officiate, and Par¬ nell intended to seek a lisccnse, when the bishop of Chichester, who was on the continent, returned. It was reques¬ ted that the marriage should take place at 8 a. m., anti should not lie divulged till afterwards. Mrs. Parnell r.ques’s that an emphatic denial be given to the rumors that her husband committed suicide. She staff's that he had long suffered from rheuma¬ tisms, which developed into the fever that killed him. FEELING IN IRELAND. Dublin, October 9,— Members of par¬ liament and others who remained fol¬ lowers of Parnell in spite of everything, aj a meeting held to-day, appointed Pierce Mahoney and John Redmond a committee to proceed to Brighton to¬ night in order to he of all assistance pos sihle in makiug the arrangements neces¬ sary for the funeral of Parnell. The corporation of Dublin has been summoned to a meeting for to-morrow, at which, sympathy with Mrs. Parnell will lie ex pressed and where a call will bo isiued for a public funeral. The general feel¬ ing in tne leading political clubs in both Great Britain and Ireland is that the death of Parnell will heal the breach which has so long existed in the ranks of the Irish parliamentary party. There was tremendous excitement in this city when the report of Parnell’s death spread among the masses. One of the reeults was a gre t rush for the newspa¬ per offices in endeavor to get confirma¬ tion of the startling information. The offices of the National league were fairly beseiged with an excited concourse of warm hearted Irishmen who had fotgot- ten all about the divorce troubles of Parnell in their desire to express sympa¬ thy with the great leader of the Irish people who had fonght so many battles for them in behalf of home rule. Many tear stained faces were seen among the crowds as the good qualities of the dead man were referred to and when his ef¬ forts in the cause of irish independence were mentioned. Prominent Parnellites, who have been interviewed upon the subject of Par¬ nell’s demise, declared that, it would not effect their position and that they in¬ tend to continue in independent opposi¬ tion to the party which has fought against their leader. The first nows of the death of Par nell which was received in this city was through Parnell’s brother-in law, McDermott, to whom Mrs. Parnell tel egraphed the sad news. As soon as the information reached the National Club the blinds were closed and the flag was half-masted, and will so remain until after the interment of the body. Mem¬ bers of the National League now iu this city are making arrangements necessary to attend the funeral of Pai- nell. Now that Parnell is dead it is said that it was a matter of notoriety among his intimate friends that his health had been rapidly declining for months past. H is friends and doctors, they say, urged him in vain to be more careful, but all their remonstrances were unavailing. Parnell continued to work at the highest pressure a^d underwent constant privations and fa tiguing journeys which would have ruined the health of the strongest, man. After the Sligo election, it was private¬ ly admitted that Parnell was greatly depressed and that he felt himself obliged to resort to stimulants iu order to sustain his nerv •». At Creegs, on September 27 last, Parnell complained of suffering from a peculiar pain In the region of the heart, which pain, he said, had never troubled him before. This was in addition to the rheumatic trouble in the arm. The Mail to-day, commenting on Parnell’s death, says that of the many enemies Parnell had In Ireland, even the most bitter will he shocked at the suddenness of his de&tli. “For mouths past.” the Mail added, “lie lias looked as if he was breaking down underst.ress of a battle too severe even for a strong man. Though pis cause was hopeless lie was stiff a thorn in the side of Glad¬ stone and might, still have influenced elections. Now the battle for home rule must he fought on its own merit-*.. All the same, every generous heart will lament the tragic end of the Irish llieusde. ” Freeman’s Journal says: “One of the most remarkable careers ot mod¬ ern times liss been brought to an early and sudden close, at such a moment it ill befits tlie Irish nation to set aside or discard the memo¬ ry of bright days when Irishmen regarded Parnell with confidence be¬ cause of liis integrity, honor and devo¬ tion. VV<> claim that a great effort should now lie made to close with hi. death the sad history of the last few weary months of fratricidal strife. We appeal to the people throughout, the country to be moderate and calm, and so advance toward national unity, without which, we honestly believe, it is impos¬ sible to predict the final triumph of the Irish cause.” A MOTH KKS GRIEF, Bordentown, N. j. , October 9.—News of her son’s death had not been received by Mrs. Delia Parnell until a reporter called at Ironsides, by which name the home of the family has been known here for scores of years, The reporter broke, the news to lier as gently as jms- eiole and when he at last announced that Parnell wss dead, lhe white-haired mother reeled backward and fell on the floor. “O my son! O my good, kind Charles! they have killed you,” she shrieked, lier grief was heartrending. She was Hei/.ed with hysterics, and by turns she laughed and wept. “When Charles wrote to me asking me whether I needed anything, I told him the crops were bringing me in plenty of money. That cheered him, and it pleased me to say so, although I was in poverty. Oh! he was a good and dutiful son and never neglected me. Lies! lies! lisi.! all lies! when they say he refu hi d to provide for #ae. I say it’s slander, foul slander.” Then the old lady pac- d up ami down the room, sobbing convulsively. “It’s Michael Davitt and the Irish World’s persecution and politicians that have killed him,” she cried. “His death has been caused by the persecutions of his enemies ” For some time Mrs. I'anu-ll Imu been making an effort to get over to Ireland to see her son, but for three years she has been kept at home by suits in the courts of Philadelphia. The proceedings bad loft her entirely without funds. Mrs. Parnell said she did not know what she was going to do about the fu¬ neral. “All 1 ask is to ho permitted to see his body laid away in the grave, and I hope they will embalm and keep ,,is body until 1 can he present at the ser- vices.” Although Mrs. Parnell claimed that she is not in want and is in no need of assistance, she is living here in abject poverty. SIR -JOHN POPE IIRNNKSSY DEAD. London, October 9. —Coupled with the announcement this morning that Parnell died last, night was the news that Sir John Pope Hennessy, member of parliament for North Kilkenny, was al¬ so dead. Sir John Pope Hennessy, it will tie re. membered, immediately after the expos¬ ure in the O'Shea divorce casein Decem¬ ber, 1890, contested the North Kilkenny election, hacked by Parnell's opponents, and defeated the Parnellite candidate, Vincent Scully, by 1,117 votes. This was a great, and possibly the greatest, test of strength between the Pain* llitre and the McGarthyites, and the defeat of Scully ni doubt counted for a great deal in the future seiies of disasters which befell the Irish leader. Sir John Pope Hennessy’s deatli is said tojiave been due to the mental and physical strain to which he was sub¬ jected as one of the consequences of the political coute it in North Kilkenny.

She saw just how this repair of neglected education must appear to her small circle of discarded pupils, and felt a strong desire to drown herself, or jump out the window, or turn on the gas, or take a box of matches in her tea, and she might actually, it seemed to her after ward, have died of mortification, but that the gonR at the front door p ulled violently at this, moment, startled her, and, Nora, running up, wrapped in a waterproof cloak—for she had been mak- ing preparations to go $o bed, announced: “Mr. Sliger.” 4 ., ?**« J can ’ t come ht ‘” up,” said Pandora, “at S lOU1 n, ? do « ^°’„ m ‘ S8 ’ he **** for , ** to corae Pandora went down.

The waiters were gone to execute Mr. Sliger’s behest. Suddenly lie turned to her and took a letter from his pocket. “Read that, Miss Piper,” he said. Pandora opened the missive and pe¬ rused it. It was from a firm of Lawyers speaking in plain terms of Mr. St. Leger ns a gen¬ tleman and a man of honor and fortune. “I did not need it, indeed,” said Pan¬ dora sadly. “And this is tlie way your name is really spelled? St. Leger! It’s a beautiful name. ” “It sounds a little curious to me,”ne said. “My mother wrote it Sliger. I never knew, but you see I was all right.
