PARNELL WONT GET THE MONEY.
The Funds Collected In Philadelphia VIII
Go TO MIR. Mccarthy.


PHILADELPHIA, December l0.-That
section Of the Irish Parliamentary party
led by Justin Mccarthy will be the re-
cipicnt of the funds raised in this city,
at the recent meetings held In the
Academy of Music by the Irish ENJOYS,
II Postmaster John Field, the treasurer
Of the fund has his way.
When the ENJOYS were here all was
happiness and harmony with the Irish
members. 1t has been arranged among
them that all the money raised should
be sent by draft to Dr. Joseph Kennedy,
NJ. p, and Alfred Webb, NJ. p, the
treasurers of the League funds.
As Is well known, the meetings IN
this city were very successful. After
all expenses had been paid, about sl2.-
600 was found to be on hand, and this
sum will be- increased to $1,000 when
all sources have been exhausted.
Mr.. Field deposited the $4,000 with
Drexel Il Co., but he has not sent any oi
it to Ireland for the reason that no de-
sired il all TO go in lump sum. Mr..
Field said: 'If have anything to do
with it, Phiadclphia's money shall go To
that section Of the Irish party led by Mr..
Mccarthy. am against Mr.. Parncll,
and ] shall use my voice and vote
against letting him have. one dollar OF
the money. He has forfeited all claim
to lead the Irish people. 1t is great
pity that such great career should be
closed in such way. His oifensc is
great one. As to how ! will be guided
in the disposition Of the fund / cannot
exactly say at this time. would very
much like to have the opinion OF the
contributors 10 the fund, but that Is an
almost endless matter. Still IL Is FOR
them to say where the money should
go"

scended from the coach in which he had
Travelled, entered cab and drove away.
He was recognized by the crowd, how
ever, before he reached the cab, and was
greeted with groans and shouts Of
"Chief Justice Healy." The crowd was
so dense that Mr.. Parnell with difficulty
made his way through it. Finally he
reached a cab, which he entered with
Mr.. Joseph f. Kenny, NJ. p. The
crowd surrounded the cab, embarrassed
the horse, and then Mr.. Parnell's enthu-
siastic admirers drew him through the
streets until they reached Mr.. Kenny's
house, No. Is Rutland square, East.
AS the cab was rolled along the streets
the crowd followed, singing "God Save
Ireland" The pace was quick, and gave
active exercise TO dozen stalwart po-
licemen who followed the cab. Upon
his arrival at Mr.. Kenny's house, Mr..
Parnell made brief speech to the
crowd that had accompanied him there.
After breakfast he held reception, and
then attended meeting Of committee

DELAMATER's DISASTER.
Cause of the Coliapse-The Warrant for
Victor still Out.

MEADVILLE, PA, December l0.-Pol-
iticS, reckless iinanciering, and unbusi-
nesslike banking methods, undoubt-
edly caused the failure of the Della
matters.
IL is more than doubtful if the bank
has been solvent for five years past, or,
indeed, since it bought the Meadville
and Linesville Railroad.
The bad investment, the loss OF the
oil traffic to the Shenango and Allie
gheny Railway, resulting in the stop
page of interest on the bonds, of which
the firm owns about 100000 the raS-
cality of Senator John j. McFarlane,
OF Philadelphia, and the consequent
loss of 100000 last spring, and the in
vestment in the Judson Street Car Com
pany, aud other similar concerns, have
wrecked the bank, ruined the family,
and impoverished many of the de-
positOrs.
1t is difficult to see what State Treas
urer Boyer hoped to gain by his visit
here yesterday. The assignment covers
all property, both of the firm and the
individual members, and the entering
of judgments in various counties where
property is supposed to be is rather late
TO be of much use.
A warrant was issued for the arrest OF
Victor NJ. Delamater, the cashier, on
Saturday, the charge being that he re-
ceived deposits knowing the bank to be
insolvent. Knorr Bros. deposited $3.50
on the afternoon of Thursday. The
warrant has not yet been served, but IL
has not been returned, and is still in
the hands of Constable SwiSher. 1t is
supposed that negotiations for settle
ment are pending.
The community has settled down TO
the belief that the depOsitors will never
get much, and certificates of deposit
are offered rs low as cents on the dol
lar, with no transactions as yet.
The creditors of G.. Il. Delamater and
OF the Senator may fare little better.
This would include the State, county
and city treaSurerS, for whom the Della
matters are bondsmen. The Senator is
at the Office daily 10 assist the as
signeeS, but declines to be interviewed.
When told that the Philadelphia
Times, which had at first expressed
much sympathy for him, was now de-
nouncing his conduct on making forced
loans of his friends in Philadelphia Us
infamous" the Senator remarked,
with 4 touch of WEAKNESS in his voice,
II suppose So
There are said 10 be some cases in
which the Sanator has been Il guardian
or trustee, or has trust funds in his care,
which are likely to result in criminal
prosecutions.
Business with the merchants is good,
partly owing to the excellent sleghing.
The run on the banks is entirely over.
The business of the city is sound and
conServatively managed, and its leading
business men are all right.

ward Harrington, NJ. p, were the first
members of Mr.. Parnell's party to leave

Mr.. Parnell, accompanied Oy MI.
Campbell, his private secretary, was the
last passenger to quit the boat. As he
proceeded TO the waiting train the crowd

tions. and he was cheered again and
again. A number OF addresses were
presented TO him, in reply to which he
expressed his thanks for the welcome
that had been extended to him. He said

had undertaken. He had never led the
Irish party wrong in the past, and
would not do so in the future. The train

ANTI-PARNELL MANIFESTO.
The Seceders Proclaim Their Position
A Determined Stand.

LONDON, Dec. 10.-The anti-Parnell
party have issued their promised mani
festo to the Irish people. In this they
say: "Feeling bound TO protect our
country's cause at whatever personal
sacrifice, we found ourselves under the
sad necessity of terminating Mr.. Par
nell'S leadership. TO adopt course that
will tend to save Ireland from destruc-
tiOn.
The signerS of the manifesto add
that whatever Judgment Ireland may
pass on the manifesto, the signers will
abide by that Judgment.
They enumerate the charges against
Mr.. Parnell as follows:
He alone is responsible for the pres
ent deplorablc situation.
He pledged himself To repel the
charges in connection with the OShea
case, but when the time came to do this,
he remained silent.
"The final question which rests with
the Irish Nation is lose all for Parnell,
or win all without him Home Rule
with Gladstone is safe"
The signers say they refuse To aban-
don Mr.. Gladstone for Mr.. Parnell.
The signers offered Mr.. Parnell an OPP
portunity of temporary retirement with
view to his eventual reinstatement,
but il never gave the faintest chance of
settlement. His fatal manifesto was
an appeal To the hatred between the
people Of Great Britain and Ireland,
and makes it impcssibleifor him here
after to cooperate with the Liberal
party.
The signers OF the manifesto pledge
themselves to remain an Independent
party.
The manifesto concludes thus:
Fellow Countrymen-Thc Issue we
submit to you is one upon which the
fortunes of our country must depend,
May God defend the right"
There are forty-feven signatures at
tached to the manifesto, headed by that
of Justin Mccarthy.

FEDERATION OF LABOR.
The Proceedings of the Convention-Num
berless Resolutions Presented.

DETROIT, Mich, December 1O.-The
convention of the American Fed
Grafton of Labor settled down
to business this morning at about
Q O'clock, and after roll call num-
ber of kilograms were received from
the Secretary of the CoaSting Sailors
Union, of the Pacific coast, calling at
tcntion To pending bill in Congress of
interest To them. The Secretary urged
immediate attention to the bill on the
ground that if il passed, the organiza
tion of sailors will be impossible. 1t
is thought to be move on the
part of vessel owners TO break up
sailors unions. General resolutions
were offered, asking that firms be boy
cotted. Among the resolutions was one
that the painters and decorators, wher-
ever the local union is strong, strike for
eight hours on May /, next. Several
resolutions against the convict mining
system in certain States were read.
A resolution instructing the incoming
Executive Council To take action To pre-
vent the prostitution of police power OF
the country by firms and corporations
employing labor, for intimidating men
on strike and the employment of armed
men for the same purpose was reported
favorably, but the entire matter was re-
ferred back To the committee that an
amendment might be made.
A resolution pledging the members of
the convention to the support Of the
Socialist Labor Party in its efforts to
secure legislation to promote the labor
movement, was reported on adversely.
A resolution authorizing the publica-
ton of an official journal by the Ameri-
can Federation of Labor, was favored
by the committee. This excited the
first discussion of the afternoon, and
! finally motion that the report OF the
committee fayoring the idea be not con-
CURED in, was lost. The entire subject
was then laid on the table. Then fol-
! lowed a long discussion upon the sub
| ject of printing the proceedings and
other matter OF the Federation in for
eign languages. This was finally agreed
| To.
+. X Foster moved the appointment
| of a special committee TO consider the
eight-hour question. The motion was
unanimously carried.
A communication from the Sailors
and Firemen international Union pray
ing for the influence and assistance OF
the Federation in securing from Presi-
dent Harrison IA pardon for two prison
erS under life sentence in the State
prison at Thomastown, Maine, was re-
ported favorably by the committee, and
President GomperS was instructed TO
draft the petition and see to its presen-
tation to the President. The conven-
tion then adjourned until tomorrow.

PARNELL'S SPEECH
To the Irishmen of Dublin-He Reyiles
Gladstone.

DUBLIN, December l0.-Mr. Parnell
was in consultation with his supporters
during the greater part OF the day. lie
then went TO the Mansion House, where
the procession was TO form. The crowd
was so enormous that the or
ganizations found it most labor
ious task to fill the various So
cicties and other bodies into line. u
tlmately start was made amid the
crash of 4 score OF brass bands and the
flaming of blazing torches. Mr.. Par
nell rode in the Lord Mayors carriage
at the head OF the line, drawn bya score
Of men. When the hall was reached
Mr. Parnell was obliged to reach the
platform on the shoulders of the crowd.
When the tumult had subsided, the
Lord Mayor was installed in the chair,
and vote of confidence in Mr.. Parnell
was passed amid great enthusiasm.
There was another burst of cheering as
Mr.. Parnell arose to address the audi
ence.
He said: 1T is said that | was ab-
sent feom the fight. Gentlemen, whan
Wellington retired to his winter quar-
Al
his officers did not seek to put halter
around his neck. [Cheers. They
thought was dead and that they might
play around my corpse and divert the
Irish nation from the trne issues involv-
ed without reckoning with you and me.
Now, suppose this is a great crisis.
Who madeit? Cries Of "Healy,' '"Scx-
ton"
rs 1t me cries of "no" Is it you, or
who?- several voices-"Old Gladstone,
the hypocrite" We shall see some
day who did this deadly thing against
our race. Why did Gladstone wait nine
days after the verdict before limiting
that my retention was dangerous? Had
he but whispered that my retirement
was necessary, | should have FASTENED
TO consult my comrades and rescue them
from the impossible position into which
they placed themselves by the Lester
resolution"
He proceeded TO refer, cynically. 10
Mr.. GladstOnc's talk of resignng. lie
reminded them that Mr.. Gladstone, in
1886, carried the whole weight of Home
Rule single-handed against every oppo-
siti0n. We were amazed, he
said, at his strength and
courage. 1t is this great
statesmen and unrivallcd leader of his
own people who asks you to surrender
your independence and depose your
leader. We say to Mr.. Gladstone, we
respect you in your position, we ac-
knowledge your immortality and the
strength and power exhibited by you on
so many divers great battle fields, but
we decline TO fuss with you.
And the message that Ireland sends
back to the Grand Old Man is this:
Resume your place as leader Of your
party, back up your legitimate author
ity. then, and not till then, will We al
low our leader to treat with you upon
those equal terms which alone can as
sure lasting, possible and permanent
settlement" Cheers.
Il need not dwell on my defense. 1t
will be known some day. Prolonged
cheering and waving Of hats. You
may ask the meaning thiS-whcther
intend to cross the rubicon and burn
my boats. ! will cross no rubicon, and

Violating the Pension Laws-Mrs. Swstsr

Go to Her Doom Without Sympathy.


Special Telegram 10 ne Register.
COLUMBUS. o., December l0.-There
was pathetic scene in the United States
Court to-day. 1t was the finale of the
fraudulent pension case, in which Cap
tain William ii. Little and Mrs. Caro-
line Sweitzer played leading roles. Mrs.
Swetzer was the first TO appear in the
court room. She was in paroXySm of
nervousness, and was weeping bitterly.
Although Mrs. SweitZer has Il number
of grOwn-up children, several of whom
have children, none of them came to
comfort her in the darkest hour of her
life, when she stood in the shadow Of
the penitentiary Judge Sage reviewed
the testimony in the case, laying par
ticular stress upon the failure to turn
over the -, 200 fraudulently received,
and saying that he did not believe the
story of the defendant in regard 10 ii be-
ing stolen. He thought it improbable
that she had left such large sum OF
money in her bureau drawer while
she went away for several days.
He did not think, however, that
she deserved the term of Imprisonment
in the penitentiary, and he sentenced her
to serve two wears at hard labor in the
Belmont County Jail at st. ClairSville,
where she resided. The prisoner was
led away Sobbing cOnvulSively.
Judge-elect Hag erty appeared for the
Captain and made strong speech in
favor OF a short sentence for his client.
He reviewed Captain Little'S war rec
ord, showing that he had served thirty
six months in war, eighteen of which
he had passed rs an inmate Of Libby
Prison.
Judge Sage asked the Captain if he had
anything to say, and he shook his head
in the negative. The Judge then told
him to stand up, aud he sentenced him
to two years AZ hard labor in the Ohio
penitentiary. The Captain had been
weeping bitterly while waiting sentence,
but braced up and took his misfortune
like a man when the Judge called his
case, and while he was pronouncing the
words which should exclude him from
