DUBLIN, Dec. 26.-Mr. Parnell, in an in
teryiew before leaving this city, said he
knew beforehand that the carrying Of the
Kilkenny election was almost hopeless in
view Of the character OF tho opposition
that he had to meet The conduct Of the
priests, he thought, was very blamable.
They brought a pressure to bear without
which the masses OF the people would
have voted differently. Had the people
been allowed to exercise their own judg-
ment without intimidation, they would
have sustained Mr.. Parnell. 1t WINS hardly
in keeping with the functions OF the
priesthood to hold over their flocks threats
OF spiritual penalties for the exercise Of
individual judgment in political matters.

COMMISSIONER SMITH RESIGNS.
Said 20 he the Real Author Of tho Plan
Set rorth In "DarkesA Enclnnd.u


Set Forth In Darkest England"
LONDON. Dec. 26.-The Times this morn
ing announces that Commission Smith, Of
the Salvation Army, has resigned, and in
Inmates that Smith was the real author Of
the scheme for the redemption of the
masses, and that there must be something
wrong with the management Of the funds
or with the working Of the plan itself to
cause him Go resign.
The Times adds that the resignation OF
Commissioner Smith at this critical period
in the history Of the army is an important
event, because he formed the guaranty
that the efforts 70 carry out the redemption
scheme would continue.
The scheme has been attributed to Gen.
Booth, but it is only charitable hypothesis
that assigns him the credit Of the details.
Its authorship is now a matter Of common
knowledge. The theories in Darkest
England originated with Commissioners
smith. His idea was to keep the workings
OF the social scheme apart from the re-
lig:ous work OF the army, however.

CoLUaBUs, Ind. Dec 26.-Strange cir
cumstances have developed regarding the
sudden insanity and death Of Miss Bertha
Park, handsome school teacher, Is years
old. Her mother. Mrs. Park, has diYnlged
the secret confided to her by the daughter
on the day when the symptoms OF the lat
ter's disturbed mental condition were first
discovered
IL appears that the girls mind had been
wrecked by the act Of some unknown per-
son connecting the name of her father ia a
criminal way with what is known as the
Park massacre On the morning re-
ferred TO, when the young teacher entered
her schoolroom, she discovered upon the
blackboard, written in a bold hand, SEN
teuce charging Martin Park, her father,
with the murder Of his parents and rela-
tives, crime committed twenty years
ago. She hurredly erased the cruel charge,
but it bore 80 heavily ON her mind that it
soon caused alteration and death.
The massacre" when it too place, a
score of years before, was laid to three
colored men, who vera rrested and lodged
In jail at Charleston, the county seat
whence they were taken by a mob and
hanged to tree. The father of the young
school teacher is almost wild with grief at
the loss OF his daughter aud the connection
OF his name with the massacre"
