n MR. JENNINGS writes from London that the
infuence of Parnell, Dillon and Davitt, in Ire
land, is broken, and there is prominent ele-
ment there rejoicing over the murder of Lord
Cavendish and Mr.. Burke. At meeting at
Cooper Institute, New York, the other night,
three cheers were given for the death of Caven-
dish, and denunciatons of assassination we're
disposed Of as " "humbug." ssf4z4 =
A CABLE dispatch says: Parnen viii prob
ably come to an open rupture with the Feni2n
members of the Land League. His outspoken
denunciation Of the Russian policy and his own
placatory attitude have Brought down food
Of rather angry reproaches FROM the infam-
matory wing of his party. Davitt, however,
stays by Parnen in any case, and is even more
conciliatory in his general attitude. 5s "A a
GEORGE orTo .TREvELvAN has been ap-
pointed Chief Secretary Of ireland, and q
special policeman has been placed on duty
before his residence. It is stated that the car
By which the murderers Of Cavendish and
Burke fed has been traced towards Dublin to
Inchicore, and thence towards Mas. It is
supposed the assassins took . train at Gel
bridge, getting back to Dublin at 10 o'clock at
night. -, ...--
THE subscriptions to the reward fund for the
apprehension of the assassins of Cayendish and
Burke, in Ireland, amounted on the eth inst.
to $4,000. The opinion gains ground in En-
gland that no resident Irishman is connected
with the murder, but that O'Donoyan Rossa's
agents are guilty of the deed. The English
Government offers f10, 600 reward for informa-
ton given within three months that will lead
to the conviction Of the murdcrers.
MARIE Kona, 4. German woman of Boston,
who was some time ago deserted in destitute
circumstances by her husband, attempted TO
murder her four children and herself. She
sharpened m Old case knife for the purpose,
and rising early in the morning, began her
terrible work while the children slept. The
FIRST attacked was August, aged five years,
whose throat she cut from ear to ear, and was
dead when found. She next assaulted Mary,
aged thirteen, cutting her throat in three
places, but the girl screaming, fled from the
house, and may recover. Alfred, aged ten,
was stabbed in q dosen places, and then Emil
aged seventeen, was assailed, who resisted his
mother desperately, but was. badly wounded.
| The women then sat down ON the floor and
attempted to open the arteries on both wrists,
| sliced herself in the legs and was helpless from
the loss of blood when found. She may re-
cover. She ia pronounced insane. ssl-=za p
SENATOR HAwLEX, OF he 9th inst, offered in
/ the Senate resolution instructing the Senate
Committee on the District of Columbia to in
| quire into the management of the District
JAIL the treatment Of prisoners and the regula-
tions regarding the admission Of visitors. In
| explanation of this resolution Senator Haw1ey
said that it was a notorious fact that one
\ prisoner had lately escaped from the jail, and
that another was-hslding daily public levees,
which were attended by from one hundred to
one hundred and fifty visitors, and that he was
doing thriving business and making money.
He considered that such action outraged public
decency, and he conAnnHently offered this re-
solution. The resolution was adopted without
dissenting vote: 1t was not, however, actually
necessary, as a rule was adopted at the Jail the
day before, forbidding any more visitors to the
condemned assassin. 1t was thought best,
however, not to break him off too suddenly,
and,a few visitors including a number of menu
bers Of Congress and their constituents from
abroad, were admitted to see him before the
rule was placed in full force.
