PARNELIis DEFEAT PREDICTED.
LONDON, Dec. l6.--The Daily NetcS' cor
respondent at KillkennY declares his belief
that Mr.. Parnell's cause is lost. He says 1t
was a race between the Parnellites and Nc
Carthyites to reach Rathdowney, where it
was announced that Mr.. Parnell would
speak. The utmost enthusiasm was dis
played for Mr.. Davltt, while there was
hooting and grooming for MIR. ParnelL. Four
thousand persons attended Mr.. Davitt's
meeting. Only 200 listened to Mr.. Parnell.

NEW YoRK, Dec. l6.-The municipal
council of the Irish national league, at a
special meeting tonight, adopted the fol
lowing:
ResolUed, That we recognize in Charles Stew
art Parnell leader capable, incorruptbe aud
worthy of the support OF the Irish. people at
home and abroad.
This resolution was adopted after

bers of the executive committee who sent
an anti-Parnell cablegrem in the
name of the council were roundly
denounced for their action, aud
it was claimed that as there were only six
or seven members at that meeting it was
not legal. A committee was appointed to
arrange for a grand Parnell meeting In

FELLED BY INVISIBLE ROBBERS.

Tho Treasurer of the Bluebeard Com
pany Causes Sensation.
ATLANTA, GA, Dec. 1G. "A violent and
mysterious robbery, in the heart Of the city,
was reported at. police headquarters TO-
night. 1t Is said to have occurr ed on the
third floor Of the Markham house, diago-
nally opposite thesUnion depot. At 5:45
O'Clock Albert N jeecke, who travels for
Baker g. Randolph, photographers of Indian
apolis, heard loud yell, and,
looking out into the hall dis
covered j. J. Murdock, treasurer
for the Bluebeard Jr. theatrical company,
living across the door sill of his room, his
head outside and his feet in. Rushing to
the mans assistance, Mr.. Noelcke found
him unconscious. Help was quickly sum-
moned. On the bed IN the injured mans
apartment was found a broken railroad
coupling link, pistol aud an open sachel,
containing money.
MONEY SCATTERED ALL OVER THE ROOM
A great deal more in bills and coins was
scattered all over the room aud in the hall.
AS soon as the doctor reached the hotel tho
manager of the company was notified. He
said Mr.. Murdock had in his sachel about
So. 900. OF this amount only about one-third
remained. The manager would talk but
little. MT. 0InTUOCk was uhcOuSClOub, hllu
is still apparently unable to say anything
further than to murmur that zone man
shook hands with him, telling him good
night, while the other struck him from be-
hind"
NO ROBBERS SEEN.
Mr.. Noelecke neither saw noriheard any
one running away from the room. though
he was in the hall the moment Mr.. Muir
dock called. At that early hour the cor
ridors OF the hotel were not deserted and
vet the robbers were seen by no one.
The injury on Mr. Murdock's head is a
cut which looks as If it had been inflicted
with knife. Tbe detectives say it could
not have been the result Of a blow from the
coupling link, as the prominent bone behiod
the ear, 80 close TO the wound, shows no
bruise, and the slash is narrow and clean
cut.
The proprietors OF the hotel are having
the affair sifted. II Is easy 70 see that Mr..
Murdock Is not regarded as very badly
hurt. A travelling man who chanced to
room near the wounded treasurer was ar
rested, but discharged as soon as the case
had been investig ated.
