MRs. PAsNELL PROSECUTED.
Her Homestead DeIaced, Her Chickens
EeheaGFd and Her Cow Poisoned.

FHiLADgLrmA, March b-For months
Mrs. Della Parnell, the aged mother OF
Charles Parnell, who resides at the family
homestead known as "Ironsides,' about
hslt wsy between Bordentown and White
Hill, has been beset by series of petty
prosecutions. These outrages began shortly
after the death of Miss Fanny Parnsll, and
at tirst Mrs. Parnell overlooked them.
Since lest October scarcely q week has
passed without some mysterious visitation
to the homestead, and from time to time
articles of value were taken from the house
in a.maDner that left no clue to the thief.
one night large number OF valuable
breeding fowls were beheaded in their
COors. Ou smother occasion portions OF the
fencing were torn down. Later the vandals
eyinCed their yindictiveness by damaging
trees spd out houses, On December they
IC;s-ned a handsome ST Bernard and \
red setter formerly the properly OF Mss
Parnel. For a time the persecution ceased
only to be renewed in the form Of a more
pain iul species of revenge.
Last Friday night IN attempt was made
on the lives of Mrs. Parreil, the oTerseer,
George O'Toole, and his vile, although the
mistress of the place happened at the time
10 he in New York. Among the live stock
kept at IrOnsides are several cows, only
one Of which, however, gives milk. This
srimal supplies the dairy with all the
milk consumed on the place. On Friday
night the milch cow wss found dead in its
stall. pr. Ships, Of Bordentown was in
formed, and after an examination Of the
cows entrails he decided that the animal
died from the effects of arsenic.
The motive Of the prosecutors was prob
ably 10 poison the inmates OF the home
stead by the means Of the use OF the cows
milk. Several men who were discharged
by TIE oYerseer are suspected.
