MORE UNLAWFUL COHABITATION.
y. +. ball Arraigned and valves
Examination.

Samuel f. Ball, a resident of the Nine
teenth ward, was yesterday arrested by
Deputy Marshal Smith and taken before
Commissioner Mckay on charge Of UNI
lawful cohabitation. He was released on
$1,000 bonds and this morning at IL
o'clock was set as the hour for his pre-
liminary examination, II. G. Park and
VIM. White becoming his sllreties.
AT the appointed hour this morning
Mr.. Ball, accompanied by Mrs. s. +. Ball
and Nellie Powell, the parties mentioned
in the complaint, appeared before the
Commissioner and waived examination.
The case was taken at once to the Grand
Jury room and had hearing before that
body, with what result is of course not
yet known to any but the parties con-
cerned. Ball is the man who has figured
so prominently as the chef de cuisine in
many of the Mormon tea parties, and is
said to be an adept at his business. He
will be able to make it very enjoyable to
his brethren at the Pen if the necessary
privileges are extended.

J. W. FARRELL SENTENCED.
re il Found Guilty, and Gives
Bonds on Appeal.

The case OF the county against j. w.
Farrell was continued last evening after
the DEMOCRAT had gone TO press, and
contrary to what was generally expected,
the examination OF witnesses was COM
pleted and verdict of guilty rendered
by Judge Speirs without adjournment.
After counsel for the defendant finished
his exceedingly interesting cross-examin-
alton of witness Solomon, Messrs. b. Y,
Hampton and Joshua B. Stewart, the
latter school teacher in the Seventeenth
ward, were examined relative to their
being present at Fanny Davenport s
house OF prostitution when the defendant
committed the offense complained OF.
Both of the witnesses concurred in the
statements made by the witness Solomon.
Counsel 2. l.. Williams with uncomfort-
able force, showed completely on the part
of the witnesses, in wholesale con-
spiracy. There was some remarkable
sguirining on the part OF the prosecuting
attorneys, as well as the witnesses, when
some OF the pointed questions were asked
by counsel, the answers to which in
| volved the most compromising and en-
barrassing conduct on the part of the
latter. After the testimony was all in
Judge Speirs rendered the verdict, which
had been held in readiness from the be-
ginning Of the evidence, viz: Guilty, and
sentenced Mr.. Farrell to three months
imprisonment and to pay fine of 5000.
The case was Immediately appealed and
bonds of $500 were signed by G. p.
Mason and James Glendenning.

PARNELL'S POWER.
WILL the Harp of shc UncrOwned
King, Like That Of Tara,
EBe Unstrung?

Mr.. Parnell is undoubtedly one of the
personages of the time. There are not
many at time, and they do not always
pass into the Pantheon when they die
Lord Beaconsfield was unquestiona bly,
one toward the close of his career, but
he will hardly remain, like Chatham
and Burke.
Mr.. Parnell, however, although an
active figure in contemporary politics,
like all such figures, somewhat belittled
by imperfect knowledge, has apparently
an extraordinary opportunity. The man
who brings the long and trying Irish and
English question to satisfactory conclu-
sion will be associated with great his
toric event and become historical figure.
AT this moment Mr.. Parnell holds an
actual power in Ireland which is perhaps
essentially greater than that held by MIR.
Gladstone in England or by Bismarck in
Germany, because it rests upon the vir-
tually undivided confidence OF his coun-
trymen. Both Gladstone and Bismarck
hold their own against large and organ
lied parties. But while the Ulster Irish
men do not all follow Parnell, the over
whelming drift OF sympathy is with him.
He has virtually dictated the election of
almost all OF the Irish members of Par
Lament, and they are all pledged to obey
him.
One correspondent calls him the most
powerful Irish leader since the conquest.
1t is certain that with little OF the elo-
quence or the personal popular charm
which have distinguished the Irish lead
ers since Flood, he is stronger than any,
and the hope which has inspired them
all, and which has survived centuries of
apparent hopelessness, seems about to be
fulfilled by the cool, dry, impassive Par
nell.
His skill has been shown by his use OF
his opportunities. Clearly to perceive the
situation, and thoroughly to comprehend
your resources and the effective way of
applying them, is the secret OF leadership
in statecraft as elsewhere. Parnell be-
lieves that every advantage, or as he
holds, every right, OF Ireland has been
extorted from England by annoying her.
He knew the bitter conflict OF parties in
England, and he saw that the Irish vote
holds the balance OF power in Parlia-
ment.
To make that vote absolutely his own
to cast it solidly for any man or party or
policy which should favor his policy in
Ireland; to use it with both parties as a
