LONDON. Dec. 6.-New rumors affect
ing the Parnell- Times commission are OBJ
tanning currency almsst every other day.
The latest is-and it comes from a source
entitled to credence-that the judges
composing the commission have about
tired of the endless array of stale facts
that the Times has presented concerning
local outrages, and that they are seriously
considering the desirability of Sis.
pending the investigation until COM
munication Can be had with the
government. One of the judges
remarked in court the other day that
hardly scrap of evidence had sofar been
presented that had not previously ap-
peared in one form or another in the pub
lie press and that at the present rate, the
enquiry might last for ysars Justice
Hannen too is decidedly disgruntled and
disgusted over the prospect and hence
the rumor already referred to ID regarded
as hitting very close to the mark.
1t is conceded that SO far the proceedings
have been decidedly favorable to the
Parnellites, and were it not for the i'm.
mense expense involved the latter would
be glad to see the proceedings continued
indefinitely, en- the ground that every
days evidence would add to their vindi-
cation. They are considerably treasured,
however, by private dispatches from the
United States which give assurance that
ample funds will be forthcoming when.

the only persons allowed to see him.

gone away. he then has paper and en-.
velopes brought to him, and for hours he
writes letters aud telegrams to her. sfid
friends in Baltimote and New York.
Those to his wife are handed hef and she
reads them in her room and replies by
mail; the others are destroyed. Mr.. Gar:
rett dresses with faultless care and spends
hours over his toilet. He talks continu-
ally, principally on business matters,
at times nationally and then agait

When out driving he halls every
one along the road. Whenever these
people stop they arc motioned away by
the attendants, and this has led Mr.. Gar
ret to believe that oil the people in, Ring
wood are deaf and dumb. Occasionally
he outwits his attendants and stops the
workmen about the place. Tuesday he
hailed "Uncle Hass," blacksmith. Tho
old man becoming frightened ran away,
and was followed by Mr. Garrett. The
latter soon overhsuled Hsss and was
beating him when the attendant
came up. Garrett struggled with

enthusiasts when the annual meeting Of
the American association opened this

with Wheeler c. Wito6 as secretary.
Prior to going into session Delegate G. II.
B3yrne, of the Brooklyn club, said that
there was hardly any doubt regarding
the admission Of Columbus. All the
other association clubs wore favorable he
said with the exception of Cincinnati, and
this would not offer any strenuous oppo.
sition. The old rivalry between, the two
cities which was very spirited 10 far
as the Columbus and Cincinnati teams
were particularly concerned, has not been
forgotten, but as all the other clubs have
volunteered to aid Columbus in putting
strong team in the field there is little
doubt that by tonight the capitol of
Ohio will be represented in the American
association.

The price of the best butter, too. has ad-
vanced in a week from ~ to Al cents,

their wet forms. Not drop of water or
food passed their lips during the tins
and the men were more dead than alive
when rescued by the Artettas.
