nell in resuming the debate read the proposal

associates to the accusations for murder and
violence, said that he referred yesterday eve.
ming TO the proceedings of the cabine, in
office from 1882, which had frequently been
divulged by Chamberlain 10 himself and other
Nationals. The chairman interfered to state
that this line of observation was out of order.
Parnell replied, that if this were the case,
he would reserve further statements ON the
subject until he came before the commission,
when he would be prepared to prove the
charges by his own and others evidence, and
by the documents and statements of Cham
berlain himself.
Chamberlain said he desired TO offer per
sonal explanation, and was perfectly ready
10 leave the question of his personal coward
ice in the hands of his friends or even of his
enemies. Parnell had further accused him
of betraying the secrets of the cabinet be-
tween 1850 and 1888. As far as he recol-
lected the only direct communications he had
with Parnell during the whole of that period,
were as follows: The first communication
related TO Parnelrs release from kilmainham
Jail and the information of what occurred
was duly conveyed TO Gladstone and Forster.
The second communication referred to the
formation of national councils in Ireland.
This scheme Parnell had suggested. Par
nell was now denying ever having approved
of that proposal.
Parnell said II don't deny asserting to
the proposal establishing evidence at the
in Dublin. What deny is con-
structing or asserting to Chamberlain's
scheme"
Chamberlain said that he had proof of this
in Parnells own hand writing. Parnell said,

ANOTHER UNFORTUNATE.
Lightning Reveals a Person Struggling
in the Kennebec.

About half past eight last evening several
persons in the Edwards Company's brick
block just beyond the railroad bridge in this
city heard a splash in the river followed by
piercing shrieks and cries of "help,' "save
me, in the direction Of the bridge. The
night was very dark and a shower approach
ing, but those rushing out saw by vivid
fash of lightning figure rise from the wa
ter with outstretched arms just between the
first two piers of the bridge. Whether man,
woman or child could not be determined, but
from the sounds heard it is thought to be a
woman. The tide being high there were sew
eral feet of water on the spot where the fig
ure was seen. A search which was instituted
at low water last night is not finished
1t is supposed from the
splash that the unfortunate fell, jumped or
was pushed from the bridge.
