SAD SCENES IN DUBLIN.

LONDON, Oct 14.-An enormous con-
course of people surrounded Walsing-
ham terrace when the caslSet contain
ing the remains of the late Charles
Stewart Parnell was taken from the
house. Slowly and sadly was the body
placed in an open hearse, drawn
by t,ur horses, and at 1915
O'Clock p. m. Saturday the
.cortege started for the railroad sta
tion amid terrific downpour of rain.
Immediately following the hearse
in mourning coaches was the
committee of Mr.. ParnelPs col
leagues in parliament who had been
selected to escort the body to Holy
head. The route to the railroad sta
tion was lined with masses of people
who silently and respectfully watched
the passing of the funeral procession.
At the station the remains
were placed on board the funer-
al car, and, with members
of the Parnell parliamentary
party as watchers, started for Willes-
den Junction, to which place the car
will be taken direct and where it will
be joined to the train bound for Holy
head. The remains, consequently, will
not pass through London as at first
proposed.
Mrs. Parnell was utterly unable to
accompany the remains to Dublin. She
is too ill to undertake the journey.
There was terrible scene inside the
house when the casket was about to
be removed. The grief of Mrs. Parnell
was most poignant, and she could with
difficulty be persuaded to allow the
coffin to be taken away.
AS a mark of respect to the dead the
blinds of many houses along the route
followed by the funeral procession on
its way to the station were drawn
down, and on every side were signs of
sincere sympathy. The casket was
covered with magnificent wreaths
of flowers, one of which, in
the center of all, was from his wife.
As the hearse passed them, despite the
down-pouring rain, the spectators took
off their hats and stood uncovered un-
til the last carriage had gone by. A
dozen carriages followed the hearse
from Walsingham terrace to the sta
tion.
The trip from Brighton to Croydon
was without incident. There was some
delay at Croydon, Parnel's body being
removed from the special car in which
it had been placed People who want
ed to get glimpse at it were permit
ted to pass along the platform. Willes-
den Junction was blocked with people
when the train arrived, particularly
members of Irish societies in London,
who had come with loads of beautiful
flowers with which to surround the
bier. Several members of parliament
who knew Parnell and wanted to pay
final respects, irrespective of political
affiliations, were in the throng.
With such crowd at Willesden one
can imagine what the demonstration in
the streets would have been had
it been decided to bring
the body through London. When
the train arrived at Willesden
the special car containing Par
nell's body was Immediately surround
ed by a throng of people. Delegates
from Irish societies in London were per-
mitted to put flowers into the car, and
Parnell went to his long rest fairly
loaded down with floral tributes from
admirers.
