Fishermen.
Special to the jersey City Ne,us.
ST. JOHN, N. B., July 10, 1690.-Two
Gloucester fishermen arrived here yester-
day and were sent home last night by u.
S. Consul Sampson. Their story is inter
esting They were fishing on shares in
the Gloucester schooner Lizzie w
Harmon, Captain Lewis, which
had been seining mackerel in
the vicinity of Bay Chaleur. hav.
ing fair luck On Tuesday last they put
into Gaspe, where the captain sent the
seine ashore to be mended. The Cana
dian cruiser Stanley appeared about mid
aboard until morning. The Harmon was
suspected by the Stanley and was spoken
by the cruiser when entering Bay Chal-
eur. The boats of the Gloucester men
were then lutte distance away.
The nets were sunk by the fisherman,
and when the cruiser approached the men
were only rowing about. The next day
preparations were made by the fishermen n
to go on q trip, and soon the Yankee. be-
fore a smart northeast breeze, showed her
heels to the Stanley. A chase was made.
but the seiner soon had eight miles of
clear water to the good, and was going at
racehOrse speed.
At the time when the chase began the
men who were sent home were ashore de-
liver ring mess mackerel to the old woman
who assisted them IN mending their nets,
and though they were waiting several
days their vessel did not appear. They
walked to Campbellton, distance of
100 miles, whence the United States Con-
sular Agentsforwarded them to this city.
The Harmon had about 201 barrels of
mackerel on board when chased. The
names of the men are Charles Clarke and
John Lyons.

A PARK FOR KEARNEY.
The Commissioners Visit the Sites
In That Part of the County.

The Park Commissioners assembled In
President Thurston's Office yesterday
morning and then went to Kearney to in
spect the various sites which the citizens
of that section of the county think will
make desirable parks. The party, con-
sisting of President c. B. Thurston, Gen.
eral William C. Heppenheimer. Colonel
E. A. Stevens and Henry Lembeck, ar
rived at the Town Hall shortly after
eleven O'Clock. The hall was tastefully
decorated in their honor with the national
colors and bunting.
The local Park Committee, composed
of Messrs. Kenny, Ceillen, Carver, Reed.
Green, Ellis, Turnbull, Garfield, Robert
son and Bloodgood, of kearney, and AL
dermen Rice, McCabe and Kerr; Peter
Hauck and Edward Grace. of Harrison,
met the Commissioners upon their arri-
val and escorted them to open carriages.
The party then drove off to inspect the
sites The first visited was the beautiful
grounds of General J. Watts Kearney, on
the Passaic River. The Commits
sioners were much impressed
with the natural beauties of that
spot and its superior advantages for a
park It contains about thirty acres. q
large part of which Is wood land. The
ground is undulatIng, and is trayersed by
a small stream OF water, which could be
easily converted into lake by means of
dam. Moreover, it would require but a
comparatively small outlay to ADAPT the
grounds to the purposes OF public park.
The Pomeroy property adjoining the
Kearney estate was next visited, and
then the commissioners viewed the Helms
heimer and Halstead estates, all of which
possessed many natural beauties From
Kearney the party drove to Arlington,
where it was entertained at lunch by
Committeeman Cullen on the magnifi-
cent lawn of his homestead. Senator
Edward F. Mcdonald, Colonel Stevens
and others made speeches. Commits
sioner Lembeck said last evening that
the commissioners would probably be
able to appropriate about $59, 900 for the
purchase of ground in that part OF the
county. The adaptability Of the ground
inspected also impressed Commissioners
Thurston, Heppenheimer and Stevens
and they expressed themselves as favor
able to the purchase Of portion Of the
land inspected If it can be obtained at a
reasonable figure 1t is said that the
Pomeroy tract will probably be chosen.

MRS. PARNELL GRAVELY I'LL.
She Is Very Weak and May Not Rally
Her Situation.

Her Situation.
Special to the JERSEY Cita Neios.
BoRDENTowN, July 10, 1890--Mrs. Della
Stewart Parnell. mother of the Irish
leader, is lying Ill at her historic but ram
shackle mansion of Ironsides, overlooking
the Delaware, on the heights below Bor-
dentown. While her condition is not con-
sidered dangerous at this time, it is suf-
ficiently grave to create apprehension in
the minds OF the few steadfast friends
who remain near her.
The attack that Frustrated her came
suddenly at midnight of last Saturday.
She had been sitting on the porch until
nine O'Clock in the evening and then re-
tired. The only other occupant of the old
mansion is Edward Slavin her faithful
servant and loyal friend. At five O'Clock
faint cries from Mrs Parnell's room. He
hastened to her and found her suffering
intensely. 1t was an attack of cholera
morbus, with which she had been suffer
ing since midnight.
Slavin wanted to run immediately for a
doctor, but Mrs. Parnell refused to have
a physician and directed him to summon
Mrs. William Kemp. a neighbor. He
aroused Mrs. Kemp, who hurried to the
house immediately, and joined her en-
treaties with Slavin's to have doctor
summoned. Mrs. Parneli, however, for
bade them to send for one. Then Mrs.
Kemp applied household remedies. and
during the day the old lady was in q
measure relieved from pain. The attack,
however, was Immediately followed By q
fever, continued through Monday, Tues
day and Wednesday, and only entirely
disappeared today. The fever has left
Mrs Parnell very weak, and 1t is feared
that she is continuing to lose strength.
She is abnormally drowsy, and sinks into
d profound sleep whenever her attention
is relaxed from any subject While she
protested today that she was improving,
she at the same time expressed a fear that
typhoid fever might set in. Nevertheless
she still refuses to allow anyone to sum-
mon doctor.
She is being tenderly nursed by Mrs.
Kemp and Slavin, both of whom are ap-
prehensiye as to her condition. She is
now past seventy-five years of age. and
recently has become quite feeble. Until
this attack she has refused to have any
thing cooked in the house and has walked
to her meals at the farm house, couple
of hundred yards away, or has had them
brought to her cold when TOO weak to
undertake the walk. She returned to the
old mansion short time ago, after
spending three months in Trenton. In
Slavin's opinion she has never fully re-
covered from the hardships she endured
last winter. when she remained in the
damp, cold building for weeks without q
spark OF fire in the mansion.

Beginning at Yuma and extending south, on both sides of the Colorado river, down to the Gulf of California, comprising a land sixty by eighty miles, section large enough to hold the entire Salt river valley, Gila Bend, Mohawk and Antelope tracts and still have enough left to form several new counties, making no estimate whatever for foot hill and mesa lands bordering along it.

The Lick Litigation,

Rich men have received another warning to conduct their own be. nevolent enterprises while they are alive, and not put it off till they have gone to place where they can no longer carry out their inten
 tions. James Lick, who gave Cali. fornia the great Lick telescope ana observatory, left in his will $540,- i 1000 to the School of Mechanical Arts. He died in 1876, iu October The estate went into the courts at once, almost as a matt 1T of course when a rich man leaves a large sum of money helpless and alone among birds of prey. For thirteen years Mir. Lick's executors have been try ing to carry out the provisions of his will, and all that time they have been obstructed by litigation. The school is still waiting for its money and some of Mir. Llck's most cher ished plans have fallen through al
