Dispatches from Cork say that the
news of the death of Mr.. Parnel1 has
caused a panic in that city. So abso-
lutely unexpected was the announce
ment that at first it was received as a
canard, but the confirmation Of it's
truth came quickly crowding upon its
heels. The personal and political
friends of the dead man are over
whelmed with grief, and those who
loudly and hotly opposed him in life
to-day maintain a dignified and re
spectful silence.
Another account says that it was on
Thursday after returning to Brighton
from Ireland that Mr.. Parnell found
himself compelled to take to his bed,
and that on the Friday following a
| medical consultation was held. On
Sunday the physicians again came to-
gether in consultation, and it was then
agreed that the distinguished patient
had been attacked by acute rheuma-
tism. At that time Mr.. Parnell was
suffering great pain and was growing
perceptibly weaker. Several hours be-
fore his death he became unconscious
and so remained until the end.
Mrs. Parnen and the ply Were
the only ones at the bedside when the
dying man passed away. Mrs. Parnell
believed up to the moment when death
came to thoroughly disabuse her, that
her husband would recover.
London, in common With the rest of
Great Britain and Ireland, was this
morning shocked by the news of Mr..
Parnells death at Brighton last night.
