KILKENNY, Dec. 1S.--Mr. Parnell was
urged by his physician to remain indoors
to-day and avoid excitement and exposure.
lie was warned that there was danger Of
inflammation Of the right eye, in which case
sight Of the eye would probably be de-
strOyed. Notwithstanding these warnings,
Mr.. Parnsll determined to 90 10
Cores Bridge and help his followers
present his case to the people there. lie
was accompanied by Messrs. Redmon,
Scully, O'kelly, and Nolan. Mr.. Redmon
was the first speaker. He denounced the
brutal tactics Of the enemy. and argued that
such actions proved the desperateness Of
the Mccarthy cause, and the strength of
that represented by Parnell. Mr.. Parnell,
who was assisted TO the front OF a wagon
ette by his friends, addressed the crowd
briefly. lie referred TO the split in the party
AZ due 10 an attempt at English dictation,
and used substantially the .same argu-
ments and illustrations as in his previous
speeches.

Dunlap reporter had with that savant.
DR.. Daremberg contrasts the hesitation
and anxieties Of Pasteur when making his
experiments on man with his remedy for
hydrophObia with Koch's essays without
having previously published the results Of
his experiments on animals or the CON-
position Of the remedy, and pro-
claiming the cure OF the disease after
trials lasting snly over period OF some
months. DR.. Daremberg recognizes the
ingenuity of Professor kOch's discovery,
and concludes by saying "after all, 1t is
hardly more advanced than those Of others
who are carrying on researches in their
laboratories notably, Granchez, Charles
Richet, Paris
The Temps also publishes an abstract of
lecture on the same subject by an Italian
Senator, Professor JimmOla. Of Naples. He
expires 'es the opinion that Professor Koch
himself does not believe in the absolute
efficacy oIthe lymph, and adds: 1T is TO be
deplOred that Koch has remained tndiner-
ent in the pres nee Of the abuse OF his dis
cOvery in all countries. IL the word had
been given to the public in October, II
would have prevented thousands OF phthisi-
cal patients from going 10 Berlin and max
ing all sorts Of sacrifices in order 10 meet
with only complete disenchantment."

deficit which may exist Is small. No ad-
diti0nal suits TO those mentioned several
days ago have been entered against him.
and this is supposed 10 be because no other
parties have claims for which Upchurch
could be held responsible.
SENTIMENTS IN FAVOR OF THE FORGERs.
Efforts are being made 10 get up petitions
for Cross and White, the late president and
cashier Of the State National Bank, who
skipped 10 Canada. and were afterwards
convicted OF forgery, and sentenced to terms
Of seven and five years respectively at hard
labor on the county roads. Both have served
about a year of their sentence on
and the very best reports are given OF their
behavior in the role Of convict. There is a
growing feeling OF sympathy for them in
the public mind and a conviction that they
have suffered enough, and a petition Will
probably be presented 10 the Governor 10
pardon them. Their wives, who have never
repudiated them. are said to be working for
them in this particular.
DESPERATE ENCOUNTER WITH NEGRO.

wound. The negro has been apprehended.
MEETING OF THE r. AND G.. ROAD.
There was a very important and largely
attended meeting OF the stockholders OF the
Raleigh and CASTOR railroad held here last
night. 1t was a special meeting, and
enough il learned OF its object this morning
to show that the company is moving to get
into Richmond. A resolution was passed
instructing the directors 10 construct
such branches and lines as may
appear 10 be necessary to make
the Raleigh and Castor railroad IN
dependent. IL is said among railroad
men here that this action undoubtedly
means that the company is determined to
get line into Richmond. rhe Raleigh and
CASTOR people decline to state what object
they have in view, but there is little doubt
that this is their purpose. Their only con-
nectiOn with Richmond is by the Atlantic
Coast Line.
A petition is being circulated throughout
the State asking the next General Assembly
to appropriate $4,000 for the establishment
Of an industrial school for girls.
German named John Ewald, who went
TO Wilmington a few months ago, was
found dead in his bed at that place last

nEalse to FrI.nd. and Con.trr.,

LONDON, Dec. 1s.-The Labor World,
Mr.. Davitts paper, to-day says Of the Irish
situation: every hope founded upon Mr..
Parnel's supposed honor, patriotism and
political honesty, has been dashed 70
the ground. He has more than
justified all that his worst foes have
ever said about him. HIS tactics
in Ireland are the crowning disgrace TO his
career. False TO bis friends; false TO his
country, he stands revealed as the most un-
scrupulous tyrant that ever rode rough
shod over the hopes and sentin ents of a
nation. Let the end be what It may, Par
nell will be forever more impossible as the
leader Of a united Irish people"
The Graphic's Rome dispatch says that
the Pope has expressed privately his apprO-
val Of the anti-Parnell manifesto the Irish
Bishops, but declines 10 make a public
statement Of his views on the split in the
Nationalist party.

HELPLESS HEBREWS IN RUSSIA
Cardinal Gibbons Makes an Appeal For
Their AmeliOrstioE.

BALTIMORE, Dec. lS.-Cardinal Gibbons
in letter tC the Jewish Exponent, says;
EVERY friend Of humanity must deplore the
systematic persecution Of the Jews in
Russia. For my part | cannot well con-
cpiye how Christians can entertain other

resolutions endorsing Sir John Pope Hen
nessy, the candidate Of the anti-parnellites
for election 10 the House OF Commons from
North Kilkenny. The Parnellte members
Immediately objected, whereupon an up
roar ensued. Epithets more vigorous than
polite, and urgent challenges TO fight were
banded about the Chamber. In the midst
Of the tumult the Mayor.arose from his seat
as presiding officer. and followed by the
friends Of Sir John Pope Hennessy and the
eIecratiOns and derisiOns Of the Parnelite
city fathers, left the building. The Parnell-
ties then elected a chairman and promptly
adopted resolutions expressing unchanged
confidence in Mr.. Parnell.

DUBLIN, Dec. 1s.-JOhn O'Leary, in an
interview to-day, said that everything
really NatiOnalists on both sides Of the At

everything against him is agrarian, social
let or cosmopolitan. The antagOnism Of
the plan Of campaign movement TO Parnell
is his nemeris, and is made posi-
BILE ~ the fact that Parnell, though
dsliking the move nent, did not stop
it, aud allowed Dillon and OBrien,
with their following Of rOgues and fools, to
desOlate whole districts and TO half ruin
Tipperary. Parnell is bound to win. having
most OF the rural labOTers with him. The
extremists also support Parnell because.
though he does not 70 so far as they. yet he
goes much further than the Healeyites, be-
.s.ides being a man OF tirmer character. II.
he says, Parnell wins in Kilkenny, he will
succeed rapidly everywhere in the country

who stepped out from The death cell
AT 1929. I'm less than one minute his arms
and legs had been piniOned, the black cap
and rope adjusted and the lever pulled
which launched him into eternity. His
neck was broken by The fall, and he died
without a struggle.
While Sharkey's mother was lying in
bed in January. 1889, he beat her on the
head with a maui until She was dead.
Later in the night he appeared at neigh
boris house in an apparently daZed con
ditiOn and stated that burglars had attack
ed the house and he feared, had killed his
mother. AneXaminatiOn Of the house show
ed that several windows had been broken
| in as though by burglars. The bloody maui
was found on the porch covered with brains
and grav hair from the murdered WOman's
head. NJ any minor circumstances seemed
to point TO Sharkey himself as the murderer
and he was arrested. Pending the
coroncr's inquest, he confessed having COM
mitted the crime, but declared afterwards
that this confession has been eXtOrted from
him through fear. A plea of cpileptlc in
sanity was urged in his behalf, but he was
convicted before the courts Of two different
counties. ard the Supreme Court Of the
state. The State Board of Pardons and the
Governor nave all passed adversely upon
his case. He was twenty-five years old al
the time Of his crime. The motive, 1t is al
leged. was fear that his mother would disn-
herit him if he should marry young lady
TO whom he was engaged.
