BRiGNOLIS LAST HOURS.

Death of tho Celebrated Tenor, Sig. Pas
quinlino Brigno1i--Almost Unattended, He
Passes Over to the Great Beyond-A Brief
Sketch of His Life.
NEW YORK, October 81.
Brignoli, the renowned tenor and genial
man of the world died last evening at four
O'Clock at the Everett House. Of the
countless friends and acquaintances who
greeted him in public, but two were at his
bedside-Dr. Carnochan, his physician,
and J. Meyer, a young pupil. Brignoli
had been i'll two months, but the direct
cause of his death was hemorrhage of
the liver. He had, however, been afflicted
with kidney troubles, and after singing in
Duluth August 18th, he was feeling i'll,
and by the advice of a physician came
to New York, where he appeared to grow
stronger, and week after his arrival was
engaged with his pupil, Meyer, in writing
new music. He also signed to perform
in San Francisco for six weeks. Three
weeks since he had another sharp attack
of illness. He grew weaker, and few
days ago his voice began to fail him and
he began to despair. He frequently asked
for brandy, saying it was the only thing
that would restore his voice. When DIR.
Carnochan entered the apartment to-day
he noticed a bad change in his Condition.
Meyer secured the services of one of the
hotel employees to sit I'D all night
with the invalid and was about to depart.
when Brignolia beckoned him back and
whispered, elf you leave me I'll die.''
Meyer placed his hand on the forehead
of the sick man, and as he did so Brignoli
drew long breath and closed his ewes.
The physician watched him few mo-
ments and felt his pulse. 1t was beating
feebly, and in short time stopped. A
few visitors called during the evening
and gazed upon the features of the dead
tenor. A cable dispatch was sent to
Paris, where brother and sister of Brig.
noli dwell, asking them what DISPOSITION
they desired to be made of the body.
Brignoli was born in Naples about fif.
ty-seyen years since. His father was a
of gloves, but discovering
that his sonl,was gifted with an unusually
beautiful voice, he decided upon giving
aim musical seducation. He effected
MS first appearance in the United States
IA 1866. in his palmy DAYS his voice
reached easily to b fiat, and its sweet and
'ilyery timbre and the. facility with which
{ came from his throat reminded one of
Mario at his best. Of late wears. of
course, his organ had lost both Compass
md resonance, but in simple ballads it
still had power to enthrall the listener.
As man he was liked by those who knew
lim well. He married Miss Isabella Nc
lulloch, Southern soAgstress, who died
nree or four years ago.

CHICAGO, Ill, October %.
In the building corner of Michigan and
Canal streets, occupied by several firms,
there was tremendous boiler explosion
shortly after noon to-day. The windows
in the rear upon the alley, where the en-
gine and boiler were located and part OF
the wall were blown out. In an instant
the flames followed, and the entire
structure was choked with smoke. Upon
the topmost floor were twenty-one girls,
and eighteen men and boys. -
There was in the rear what is known as
q fire stairway lined with iron. Down
this the girls and men CROPPED their way,
their skirts and jackets pressed to their
nostrils. James w. Carr, foreman of the
cigar-box factory on the top floor, who
gave warning to his employees, was, it is
said, the last to leave the floor. He fol-
lowed the men to the third floor and
asked anxiously whether all were on
hand. Fearful that some might be left
behind, he turned back. The employees
CROPPED their way to the ground floor and
escaped. go
A few minutes later Carr, the foreman,
was seen at a fifth-stoly window. He
crept out upon the cornice in the dense
smoke and flames and let himself down to
the window-sill by his fingers. Men rushed
to the roof of the building across the alley
with ropes. 1t seemed to the excited
witnesses of the terrible scene as if the
brave fellow chung there five minutes.
l had to turn my head away from the
awful scene. Men below with canvas held
it stretched out, but finally Carr caught
rope with his left hand and loosened on
the sill. He dropped but could not retain
his hold and plunging through the canvas,
was picked up bleeding, and it is said his
neck was broken.
It is rumored that several men are miss
ing but in the confusion nothing definite
can beslearned, and it is believed the ru.
NOR is unfounded.

SoUTHBURY, CONN, October %.
On Sunday Mrs. Maria Enchat was
found at the foot of her cellar steps dead
and bruised with a lamp in one hand and
the iamp-chimney at distance from the
lamp. How she came there Is a Inys-
terry, but the Coroner said it was an ac-
cidental death. The verdict is ques-
toned by the people, who argue that it is
at variance with all the circumstances.
The people ask if she fell backward down
stairs, how it was that her eyes and nose
showed marks of violence and how If she
fell forward, the back of her head should
be particularly injured. They await an
explanation.

A TERRIBLE CRIME.

Club in the Hands of His Own Mother
The Murderess Handed Over to the
Authorities.
PALESTINE, Tex, October IS.
Mrs. Elizabeth Parker, of Elkhart, was
lodged in jail in this place charged with
numbering her daughter-in-law. The
cline with which she is cha, ged is most
horrible in its details. Her son, Andrew
Parker left home in the evening to attend
to his business, leaving his wife and two
little children with his mother. AS Par
ker neared his home at about niue O'Clock
at night, he heard his wife screaming.
He entered the house just in time to see
his wife fall AMI expire, while over her
body stood
HIS OWN MOTHER,
Infatuated with anger, holding a heavy
club in her hand. Parker's wife would
have become a mother in few weeks.
The poor victim was beaten black and
blue across the shoulders and abdomen.
Parker kept the particulars of the ter
rible murder a secret for few days, but
finally concluded, in justice to his chill
dren, to let the law take it's own course
and swore out a warrant against his
mother. A Coroner's Inquest developed
the above facts. No explanation is offered
for the mothers brutal conduct towards
her sons wife. The case is attracting
great attention by reason of the fact that
the sole witness against Mrs. Parker is
her own son. She was held i'll defa ult of
$3.50 bail.
