Bsrpwell county, while Sunday school
was in session, with a cooked revolver
IN her hand. and, passing into pew
behind John A. Stsedly, she fired her
ni.tol into Steediy's back. He arose,
looked around, tried 70 get ont his pis-
nj and at the same time inside for
he door. Miss Connolly snapped
her pistol a, him again, bat il failed to

LONDON, July 1.-THE Times, CON-
menting on Mr.. Parnell's denial OF
Lord Bartipgton's assertion that the
Nationalist are in league with the Fe-
mans. says: "Mr. Psrnell's denials
are a mere waste Of breath. II seems
necessary TO remind him that while the
Marquis Of harrington is man OF un-
blemished honor and yeracity, Mr.. Par
nell quite recently was convicted oil
having deliberately and repeatedly a.
tirmed that which he knows to be
false" -.
The Standard says: "Mr. Parnell
carries his protestation Of innocence to
absurd lengths. The question he ought
TO have faced is, Whether or not he had
ayailed himself Of the services or the
moneys Of the extremists? To accept
money from Fenians and then to disown
them is not course Of conduct which
commends itself to Englishmen."
