THE TIMES-PARNELL CASE.

The history of the long Times
Parnell controversy seems to be
about to reach final close. So far
as the personal issue between the
parJfes IS cUncerneu, Cue andn nas
ended in triumph for Mr.. Parnell.
The libel suit of the latter has been
withdrawn, so the statement runs,
and the Times has paid Mr. Parnell
round $4,000.
Outside of England people will
generally agree that the Times has
only got what it deserved and is
lucky to have come off so easily.
1t is said that the Parnell commits
sion will shortly make report, so
that its multitudinous labors have
also reached their term. The public
long since ceased to take any active
interest in the affair, and the six
column reports of the Times have
found continuously fewer readers.
1t Is impossible, as Sir Chas. Russell
pertinently observed, to indite a
whole nation. Yet that is virtually
what the evidence brought before the
commission has reduced itself to.
As an attempt on the part of the
Conservatives to discredit and break
down the Irish Opposition-and it is
difficult to avoid looking on the affair
in this ight-the commission has
proved failure. The main point.
the point In which all the world as
well as Great Britain We're inter
ested. was the question of the au-
thenticity of the letter published by
the Times, as Parnell's. When these
letters were proved to be forgery
on the evidence of the forger him
self. the attack of the Times
broke down, and the general
public ceased to interest itself
IN the affair. To all intents
Pun pOoco 6uiS Was COmDleC
victory for Mr.. Parnell. The ques-
ton of the authorship of the letters
was, to the mind of the wide public
beyond England, the only issue.
While this is true, it is still posi-
bic that tie ultimate findings of the
Commission may be injurious to Mr..
Parnell. 1t is said that the report
VIII not exonerate him from failing
to discriminate between organiza
tons for the purpose of peaceful
agitation and those counseling and
doing violence The English mid
die class have a strong love for law
, and order, and it is possible that the
result of the investigation may dis
credit MIR. Parnell with them, and
hence weaken the cause of Home
Rule. 1t is by no means unlikely
that MIR. Parnell has sinned in the
manner indicated. He would hardly
be an Irishman if he had not.
No one and no cause. how
ever, will or can suffer so much
IN public estimation from the
whole transaction as the Times

itself. Its course with regard TO
Mr.. Parnell has done much to drag
it down from the proud eminence
which it has so long maintained
without a rival. Interruptions par
tizanship, and blind party zeal have
led the most famous journal of the
world into excuses disgraceful to
journalism. No newspaper can long
maintain a high and enviable repu-
tation unless its party zeal is tam
pered by a healthy independence

MOBILE, Ala, Oct 26.-One Of the most
disastrous conHsgrations ever witnessed. in
this city began today about noon in Stewart
Butts siiingle mill. and was not under
control for five hours, and then only after
favorable change of the wind. The fire
department and volunteers worked with
the utmost vigor.
Three river steamers, one ocean-going
ship going to the Mobile & Ohio railroad
wharf, cottonseed oil mills. eight ware
houses, three cotton compresses, with prob
ably 10000 bales of cotton, . big ice factory,
box factory and some large coal sheds
were destroyed. In fact, the buildings
bounding the river, from Knox street on
South Seventh street, and from the river
front to Rovai street west, were burned out.
Losses viii reach probably $3.50, 900, with
insurance OF 100000 There was no loss OF
life, although many firemen were overcome
with the heat and smoke, and had narrow
escapes from falling walls
The alarm Of IRE at Stewart & Butts
mill had scarcely come in when second
alarm was sounded from q burdinR resi-
dence belonging to Mosley Tucker, on
Dauphin, near Broad, which was COM
pletely burned. The residence adjoining
was also destroyed. Two alarms being
followed by a general alarm caused the
greatest excitement among all classes, and
soon report was spread that the entire
business portion of the city was in danger,
and thousands of men. women and chill
dren rushed to the scene. No one felt
safe, even in the business portion of the
city, and wagons. drays and ali kinds OF
vehicles were engaged in carrying away
the valuables of the people. More than
twenty squares were burned. The tracks
OF all railroads centering here have been
obstructed by debris in the burnt districts
and trains are delayed

CHICAGO, Oct. .26-Ex-Alderman William
II. Whelan was shot and mortally wounded
in State street resort, Sunday morning,
by George NJ. Hathaway, . gambler.
Whelan died this afternoon.
The story as told by eye-witnesses was
that Wheian and one McGinnis, an officer
of the health department Of this city, had
been out drinking Saturday night, and on
reaching this saloon sat down to have
lunch. While they were eating and drink
ing Hathaway came in and was asked to
dine with them. and soon after sitting down
began to flourish revolver. Whclan de-
manded that he put it up, or he be made
to do so. and after some further words
Hathaway shot Whelan, the bali passing
through his body and striking the spine.
Hathaway was seen in prison by several
reporters and told several conflicting
stories, the last one being that he was at
tackled by McGinnis, and that in defending
himself the shooting occurred. What the
trouble was with Whelan he would not say.
There evidently is story behind it.

his escape about three weeks ago from
Sheriff Bowles. of Union county, while on
his way to the penitentiary. by jumping
through the window of a rapidly moving
train. is still here. When captured last
night at the depot he was very sullen, re-
fused to talk and denied his identity.
Today Arnold admitted to the PosT-
IxTELLIGENcER correspondent his identity
He gave detailed account of the tragedy,
trial, escape and subsequent lonely wander
ings through the wilds of the Blue noun
tains. He claims to have acted in pure
self-defense. The difficulty was about a
woman, and he says Shaffer struck him
with hammer on the head and then
jumped on him. Arnold was armed with
knife and stabbed Shaffer, causing the
latter's death in few minutes. He was
convicted of murder In the second degree
and sentenced for life. His motion for .
new trial is now before the supreme court.
Arnold is 81 years old.
At the time of his capture he was en-
deavoring to take train on the Southern
Pacific and make his escape to California.
His escape from instant death when he
jumped from the train was most miracu-
lous. Sheriff Bowles will arrive tomorrow
and take the prisoner to Salem. Forum
ately the conductor on the train happened
to know Arnold and notified Sheriff Kelly
