END OF ONE ONCE GREAT.
PARNELL., THE IRISH EX-
LEADER, Is DEAD.

He Took Cold a Week Ago and
This Resulted in His Death Last
Night at BrightOn-His wife
with Him to the Last When He
Was Unconscious.
LONDON October 7.-Parncll died at
Brighton last night
Parnell's death resulted from a chill
caught last week.
He took to his bed Friday and died at
Walsh Terrace at halEpast eleven last
night.
The news of Parncll's death was ut
terly unlocked for. 1t has been well
known that Mr.. Parnell has not enjoyed
the best OF health for years past and it
has been noticed, and widely com niented
upon, that since the O'Shea divorce de-
velopments became matter of public
notoriety and since the political trouble
came upon him Parnell had grown thin
ner and had perceptibly aged in appear
ance. But nobody expected to hear of
his death and no inkllng as to his illness
had reached the newspapers.
Parnell took to his bed on Friday last
and from that time he steadily lost
strength and finally succumbcd. The ex-
act nature of his disease is not made
known as yet. He expired in the arms
OF Mrs. Parnel who is utterly pros
trated by the shock experienced through
her husbands death.
Coupled with the announcement of
Parnell's death is the news that Sir Iohn
Pope Henncsscy. member OF parliament
for North Kilkenny, is also dead. Sir
John, Immediately alter the exposure in
the O'Shca divorce case in December,
1880, contested the North Kilkenny clcc-
ton and defeated the Parneltc candi-
date, Vincent Scullv, l,l+7 votes. This
was great, aud possibly the greatest,
test OF strength between the Parnelhtes
and the McCarthyit,S aud the defeat OF
Sculiy no douht counted for a great deal
IN the series of disasters which subsc-
quently beieIl the Irish leader.

sidering the Charter Asked for.
The aldcrmanic committee, Messrs.
Brevard, Starnes and Leonard, appoint
ed last Friday to confer with the Ashe-
vile and Biltmore electric railway peo-
pie, had talk with J. S. Adams, esq,
attorney tor the company, Yesterday.
The tobacco men on Valley street
wanted the board to allow part of the
road built at once, that portion which
will connect on South Main street with
the Asheville street railway. to accom-
modate them in freight matters.
The committee does not like the idea
OF accommodating any warehouse:
without accommodating them all. /,
also desires that the line from Bitmor,
be built first. The construction of tn,
short line would but add another link t.
the gouging Asheville street railway
$5, ,o0O-a-month system.
The Ashevile and Biltmore company
however, say they will build the mali
stem as soon as the grades on Soutl
Main street have been definitely estab
lished
The committee will consider the char
ter which the company asks for, max
changes as they think best, and repor
to the board on Friday.
