AS CLEAR AS THE DAY.
MT. Parnell's Explicit Denial of All
 the Times Charges.
NOW AFTER WALTER
The Times Shareholders Will Make Him Personally AnswerabIe for
 All the Expenses of the Parnen
Prosecution.

LONDON, May 2.-The direct examina- tion of MT. Parnell before the Parnell commission is now concluded. He ended his testimony by declaring that he hnd concluded the agitation in Ireland constitutionally.
 MT. Parncll, during his examination by MT. Asquith, looked greatly improved in health and altogether trimmer than usual. The examination of the first day was di- rected to bringing into prominence the constitutional aspect of the Parnellite movement.
 The witness was throughout cool and imperturbable. He never hesitated the least in his answers, and dropped occa- sionally into short speeches explanatory of his views. He was pulled up by the judges few times, on the ground of being too diScurSive in his account; but generally he was allowed a free rein. Nothing could have been more explicit than his lucid negation of the whole of the vile charges brought against him.
 His simple denial, backed by details and an evident desire to tell the exact facts of the accusations of complicity with murderers and scoundrels, was scarcely needed at this late day to free him from unjust suspicious in the minds of the public; but it was very convincing, all the same. If he ever gave the coun- tenance of silence to violence which he knew of or suspected, while the affairs of the Irish people were in their direst straits, he certainly has not a vestige left now of tolerance for tho aggressive methods which are naturally adopted by a distressed people and young leaders, and which are unfortunately carried to unwarranted lengths by the rascals who make agitation an excuse for crime.
 All Parnelps facts were we'll in hand, and there were even touches of humor, as when he admitted belonging to one secret society. This made a sensation iu court, until he explained that it was the Society of Foresters. Then there was laughter. He disavowed the " last link speech, and played a trump card by producing copy of the Cincinnatti Gazette of the next day, with q report of the speech, but with no last link pas sage. As an instance of Patrick Ford S inventive gifts, MT. Parnell produced a short original telegram sent by him with tho long and flowery version published by Ford. The court was much amused by this specimen of American journalism. ItSeemed as If MT. Parnelrs utterances, the meaning of which was indicated, were so clear as to leave nothing to be questioned. Nevertheless, Sir Richard Webster took copious notes for his cross examination, which is now in progess. It is reported that some of the share. holders of the Times intend to raise a | chancery suit, and to make MT. Wal. ter personally answerable for the expenses incurred in prosecuting the scandalous l libels against MT. Parnell before the com. mission.

POSTMASTER VAN cor

POSTMASTER VAN corr postmaster in the big granite building. He was cordially received by Acting Postmaster James and Assistant Postmaster Gayler. MT. James immediately turned. over to Mir. Van Cott all the papers and accounts be- longing to the department duly audited as correct.
 The new postmaster was thus infor- mally installed. So quietly was it done that none of the employees outside of the office of Assistant Postmaster Gaylor will know of the change until they read this account.
 Though this is not a holiday for off, cials in the postoffice, Assistant Post master Gaylor says the carriers can do very little as all the down town offices and stores are closed, and the civic pro- cession will retard the delivery of mail matter above Canal street.

Equine Hospitality.

Billy, horse attached to police patrol station in Boston, has become known throughout the Hub by its iberality. A member of the mounted squad while an- swering roll-call ties his horse to the post forming one corner at the head of Billy's stall, and as soon as the animal is fastened Billy picks up mouthful of hay, forces 1t through the iron grating about bis stall, and waits until his guest has eaten it. Then he repeats the operation and continues his hos pftalfty until the officer returns for his horse. Billy began to do this early in the fall, without any suggestion from the men, and he does 1t twice . day, much to the sat isfaction 6f Ns visitor.

ECCENTRIC DISCIPLINE.
How B Boston Pater Famil1as Punished
 His Naughty Boy.

How B Boston Pater FamilIas Punished
 His Naughty Boy.
 1 am writing the scrappy sort of letter which is particularly obnoxious to the soul of the editor, and, therefore, take occasion to tuck in story with a moral which, writes Flo Bates in one of his Boston let ters, was told the other day in discussion on the training of children. A gentleman who is regarded as somewhat eccentric by the more conventional of his acquaintances, and whose management of his small son, a lad of some seven years, is pecially amaZ- ing to the gossips, returned home the other evening to be met with the news that the boy had cut a hole in the drawing room sofa.
 "Well, my son." the father said, after be- ing informed by the lad that he had done the damage under the pressure of an ire sistible desire, such as Is usually the plea of children in similar circumstances. "I am very sorry that you should spoil my sofa have just paid S75 to have it recov cred, and can not afford to have that done over again. The only thing can see is for you to sit on that cut place when anybody is here so as to cover it. I know you don't like company very well, but know your mother would be ashamed to have callers see that holS."
 The small boy knew his father too well to protest, and indeed for the moment he was probably only too happy to get of so easily. When, however, he had been sum- moned to sit on that out two or three times things wore different aspect. He heard the door-bell ring with apprehension, and when he was called for to run to the draw ing-room he burst into wailing and weep ing so violent that his presence had to be dispensed with.
 'Now, my son." his father said to him. sI did not make any fuss when you cut my new sofa covering, and can't allow you to make a fuss about bearing the conse- quences of what you did to please yourself" :"
 The poor little wretch was reduced to a condition of despair pitiful to behold, when his father said to him
 "Now, Willis, am going to make pIop- osition to you. You may do just as you please about it. I promised you a soldiers s uniform at Christmas; now, if you had rather took that money and had the sofa mended, would put enough in it to get the thing done. But ii do you will get no uni form at Christmas"
 The lad chose to have the sofa mended, and at Christmas he bore his disappoint' ment like his fathers son. He did have, il is only fair to his father to add, a good deal ] in the way of alleviations of one sort and another.

CORRESPONDENCE OF tue NlCuuOuu
PETERSBURG, Va, August 10. 1889.
The verdict of the jury in the Marks
damage suit for $4,000 was telegraphed the
the instructions Of the Court. is n con-
ditional one-subiect to revision by the
Court. The Jurors varied in their opinions
as TO the measure of damages to DE assessed
some being in favor of the full amount
sued for. A verdict, however, was reached
by averaging the several amounts at
first suggested by the jurors, and the result
was verdict for $500. The case has now
To be argued before Judge Bernard on the
question whether or not this verdict shall
be sustained or the amount changed. The
argument, il is said, will not take place
until the September term OF the court. and
a decision will probably not be reached
until October.
Ii is openly charged by the anti-Mahone-
ties that skilfully-contrived job is being
put on them to carry this city for General
Malone in the primary meetings TO be
held on Tuesday night, and 1t looks as
though, in face of the fact, as asserted by
leading anti Malone Republican to-day,
that so per cent. of the Republicans here
who voted for President Harrison are OPP
posed to General Mahone's policy. the
General will successfully carry his point.
And as in Petersburg, 40 it will be through
out the Fourth district, and probably
throughout the State. The Generals forces
are thoroughly organized, and those of his
opponents have no organization. The
latter may therefore be said to be beaten
already. A great many of the ants Will
abstain from the primaries. aud this fact,
of course, practically excludes them from
voice in the convention. They may or
ganize. however, 10 abstain from the polls
on election-day. and in this way make their
influence felt.
1t is very doubtful whether Colonel
Brady will 90 to Norfolk during the con-
yention. 1t is almost certain that ex-Goy-
ern or Cameron will not, and the probabili-
~ is that General Malone Will have clear
field in the convention. The situation re-
sulting from the Washington deal excites
undisguised disgust among the respectable
class of anti-Mahone Republicans.
II is charged that in the Sixth Ward OF
the city where the Republicans cast be-
tween six and seven hundred votes the
chairman of the party has engaged hall
for Tuesday nights primary whose capa.
city is less than Que hundred seats. And
this against the protest of the ants.
