Fanny Parnell Dead.

DYING SUDDENLY OF HEART DISEASE
IN BoRDENTOwN YESTERDAY.
Bordentown, n. Y. July 2O.-Miss
Fanny Parnell died suddenly this
afternoon of paralysis of the heart at
the old Ironsides Mansion in this city,
She was the second sister of Charles
Stewart Parnell, the leader of the
Land League, and was the daughter
of John H. and Della l.. S. Parnell.
She WAS 90 years of age, and was born
in Ireland.
Miss Parnell had been subject to
attacks of heart disease, and had some-
times been apparently in trance for
considerable time after such attacks.
She seemed to he in her usual health
up to this morning.
She was conspicuous in the affairs
of the Ladies' Land League. Her first
appearance as public speaker in New
York city was made some three years
ago, during the famine in Ireland.
She has frequently made appeals in
behalf of the Irish cause at Land
league gatherings.

from adjacent towns, the railroad conf

From the Savannah Recorder.


A man named Jones, living about
FIVE miles from the city, OH the Ogee-
chee road, was visited last night by
several young men from Savannah,
who commenced making trouble.
They apparently were full of whisky
and sentiment, and they undertook to
serenade Mr.. Jones; but he was a
prosaic kind of a man, and instead of
bringing out whisky and cigars to the
howlers he took double-barreled ed
shotgun, and steadying himself, fired
into the crowd. Yells and impreca-
tions convinced him that his shot had
taken effect. He then took an axe and
went among the crowd to demolish
them, but they scattered.

Cameron Not the Man for Compromise.
Albany Evening journal.

Albany Evening journal.
The more Republicans have ex-
amined the Cameron propositions the
more transparent the machine" pur-
pose has become AS the country set
ties down to the belief that the possi-
bility of reconciliation has passed, it
has become at the same time generally
understood that Cameron is not the
sort of man with whom it is safe or
patriotic to patch up compromise.
His headstrong course shows that he
cares more for the perpetuatioh of his
personal control than he does for the
welfare of the party at large. Such a
leader must be curbed or he will for
ever keep the Republican organization
in hot water.

Death of Mrs. Caroline Johnson.

Our community was startled, on WtdneS-
day morning last, by the announcement OF
the death of Mrs. Caroline johnson, widow
of the late Jacob johnson (tor many years
landlord of various hotels here, II the res
idence of her son, Depury-Sheritf Walter $.
johnson, on Church street, in this town.
Bu. few We're aware Of her illness, and
those who had been informed of this were
under the impression that it was but Il
slight attack, with little or no probability
of a fatal termination.
Mrs. johnson, who Of late years has pass
ed the major part of her time with her
daughter, Mrs. John p. Clayton. of Balti-
more, periodically visits her relatives here,
aud came up on the evening of Saturday,
the 10th inst, with the intention of spend
ing the holidays and perhaps Il longer time
among her friends here, where she was al
ways a welcome guest. In few days,
however, after her arrival, she was taken
with symptoms of pneumonia, consequent
aron cold contracted during the trip. These
symptoms We're not of an alarming charac-
ter, and little or no fear seemed to be enter
tained of a fatal termination Of the case,
either by her friends or the physician, until
within a short time of her death. On Tues
day, the day before her death, she was ap-
parently much better. On Wednesday
morning however, at an early hour, it was
observed by Mrs. Parker, who had been
watching with her, that she had rapidly
weakened, and upon approaching the pa
tient upon the subject found that she be-
lieved herself to be rapidly passing away
She enjoyed the full use Of her reason up to
the time of death, and calmly, in fact
rather ioyfuily spoke of and welcomed the
rapidly approaching end. \ little before
half-past eight she lost the power of speech
and could only reply to the questions of
those about her by signs, and at $50 she
calmly fell asleep, as a weary one passing
into refreshing slumber.
The deceased was 61 years of age, and
leaves two children of family of four, viz:
Mrs. Deliah Clayton, wife of John p. Cay
ton, Esq, of Baltimore, and Deputy Sheriff
Water S. J' h,son. Mrs johnson was
a lady of marked amiablity of temper and
exceedingly popular, beloved by large
circle of friends For a long time prior to
her decease, Mrs. johnson had exhibited
unmistakable signs of failing health, and
the physician ascribes her final decease
more to her physical weakness than to the
violence of the attack of pneumonia. she
not having sufficient physical strength to
meet the weakening effects of the disease.
The remains of the deceased We're inferred
in the Elkton cemetery, yesterday afternoon,
at O'Clock, followed by 4 large niiliHer of
relatives and acquaintances. The funeral
service was held at the residence of her son,
Rev James McInrire officiating, u large
and sympa'hetir company of friends being
present.

the a.uonnt of good things consumed was
something marvellous. All the stores deal

and there were but few households that
failed to secure the Christmas turkey. The
consequence of all this was an overwhelm

and sedlitZ powders and pills were the sub

The absence of iire-crackers was one
notable feature of the day, and no one can
<leny but that the prohibition OF this un-
pleasant fussy little explosive added much
10 the peace and quiet of the day. The
weather was fine beyond description-the

Christmas at the Churches

The usual Christmas day service was held
in the churches of this town-in several
cases quite 4 profuse display of floral decor
alton heing made. AT the Methodist Epis-
copal church early morning or six o'clock
meeting was held, the Pastor, Rev. Mr..
Avery, ofiiriaiing, and was fairly attended,
although the average Elkton citizen is
averse to leaving his bed at such an unsea-
sonable hour. Trinity church was very
prettily ornamented, and the usual Christ
mas services were held by the Rector, Rev.
Mr. Schouer. At the Catholic church a
very pretty display of the decorative art in
evergreens and flowers was shown, and the
regular Christmas services of the church
celebrated. There was no service at the
Presbyterian church. Everybody SCENE ed
anxious to reach home in ample time to
greet the honored Christmas turkey as he
came brown and steaming from the oven,
and in consequence none of the services
were prolonged 10 any great extent. The
dinner was the great feature of the day
after all.
