from chronic neuralgia, and the in

THE PARNELL BANOyEr.
A Gathering of the Friends of the Irish
Leaders.

DUBLIN, August 24.-At the banquet
to Mr., Parnell, this evening, thirty eight
Parnellites were present. Loyal toasts
were omitted. Mr.. Parnell eulogized his
followers for their courage and self-de-
nial. He said there was only one thing
on their programme-to restore the Irish
Parliament When that Parliament as
sembled in Dublin 1t would develop the
Healy clauses of the land act, make ten
ants owners of their holdings, and Sc
cure to laborers a share in the land.
Mr.. Parnell dwelt upon the impor-
tance of securing loyal aud self
denying members in the next Parliament
for the final battle for Home Rule, be-
fore which he hoped to pass further
remedial measures. He sketched the
tasks of the Dublin Parliament, which
would consist Of single chamber. He
hoped that the coming party would be
strong enough to restore the independ-
ence of Ireland. Mr.. Justin Mccarthy
presided at the banquet. In Sackville
street an enormous crowd collected and
cheered necessarily during the banquet.

reason of numerous miscounts stated to
have been made in the vote and innu-
merabe frauds alleged to have been COM
mitted at the polls in the interest OF har'
rison. The answer is in the nature OF
demurrer, generally denying the allegations
of the bill, and giving reasons why, in the
opinion of the defendant, the case is not
entitled to a regular trial in court. These
reasons are largely of a technical charac-
ter, as.d charge, among other things, that
no case ior relief has been stated in the
citizens petition, and that the petitioners
failed to show that they have any interest
in the subject matter. Objection Is also
made to the alleged ysRueness OF the peu,

A WASHINGTON special to the New York
Sun Gays that the Treasury Commission
which has been investigating the office OF
the Supervising Architect has ordered the
suspension of ali payments in the case OF
the new pcstoffice building in Kansas
City. A bad state of things has been de-
ysloped there. At the last session OF Con-
gress 10000 was appropriated for the COM
pletion of the approaches to the building,
for clock and for sewer connections. On
the strength OF this appropriation the citi-
zens subscribed $500 for fne clock bell,
which was to enable residents of the city
and vicinity within radiuG OF six miles
to keep the time and set their watches by.
But months passed by, and there was no
sign of the clock. This led to inquiry,
and inquiry led to disagreeable revelations.
1t ROW appears that Supervising Architect
Bell has spent the whole $4,000, and that
rnly SI400 of that sum has gone for any OF
tlSe objects embraced in the appropriation.
Tn e sum was paid for an iron fence. The
ann of SIS, 600 has been spent for heavy
marble wainscoating within the postothce,
for which there is no warrant in the ap-
nrouriatiCn. The result is that the ae-
counts are suspended, and Mr.. Bell finds
himself charged with an illegal and i'm
proper expenditure OF public moneys,

ANimportant decision has been rendered
by Judge Field in the United States Circuit
Court at San Francisco, affecting the re-
sponsibility of the municipality regarding
the Montgomery avenue bonds, which in
the past have occasioued vast amount
of litigation. 4 number of years ago the
Municipal Board of Public Works ordered
the opening of the thoroughisre termed
Montgomery avenue and provided for the
payment OF this work by issuing bonds
which were TO be iquidated by special
taxation on PropeTty-OEners>b benefited by
the Improvement The action OF the
Board of Bubble Works was confirmed by
q special act Of the Legislature. The prop
erty-owners thus taxed refused to pay the
assessments. The bondholdefs then
brought suit against the city and county OF
San Francisco for payment of the principal
and interest on the bonds. Judge Field
holds that, apart from any action OF the
Legislature, the Board OF Public Works
was not legally authorized agent OF the
city, and thar the latter was therefore not
a party to the issnsnce of the bonds and
cannot be held liable for their payment.

part of the city the Alcott dam was swept
away, which, together with the backset
from the river, submerged most of the
celery beds. In the northern part of the
city many acres of celery were inun-

of the first crop is ruined, entailing an
immense loss, and the second crop must
have the best weather to save it from al
most total loss The weather is yet

the fact that the appropriation of $4,000

provisions of the Chinese restriction act
is exhausted, it has been found necessary
to dispense with the services of Chinese
Interpreter at San Francisco and dep
uty collector at Port Townsend, both OF
whom were paid out of that appropria-
ton. No embarrassment will result
from this action, as the duties of the
two suspended officers can be performed
by officers in the customs service.
