New York Papers on the Death OF
the Irish Leader.

NEW YORK, October S.-The morning pa
pers of this city all comment at length on
the sudden death of Charles Stewart Par
nell and its probable effect upon the Irish
and home rule.
The World says: "The death Of Parnell,
In the gloom of defeat and in comparative
obscurlty, is a doleful ending to career that
made HIM actually one Of the most conspicu-
Gus figures of the time. His death clears
the political atmosphere In England and Ire
land, and brings harmony where there was
The Tribune says: "The death of Parnell
would have been little less than a catastro-
phe year ago. From his entrance upon
public life to his downfall In the divorce
court co9 ne was W more than the stronghold and
spring OF new era Of political generation
for Ireland. The clangOr of controversy,
which has filled the last year Of ParnelPs
life. will be hushed before his grave. II his
race has had something. perhaps much, to
scenes Of his career, 1t has infinitely more to
be grateful for In his services to its cause
and in the inspiration Of his patriotism. Ii
his death be not catastrophe now, as 1t
would have been not long ago, 1t Is because
his success had been SO overmastering and
his triumph SO glorious that he could not
himself, with all his resources of genius, in
fiuence and infiexible will, undo his work.
A ParDell was needed not only to revive and
unite Ireland. but also to convert Glad
stone and English Liberalism to home rule.
His work Is done: another year will witness
its fruitlon."
The Herald says: "Parnell must be
counted among the remarkable men of the
age. He may be called great in all respects
but one. He could not fall to the rear when
his party chose another leader"
Tne Sun says: "It seems deplorable that,if
Mr. Parnell were to die In the very prime Of
manhood. he might not have perished earlier
while he still stood before the eyes of men
the uncrowned king Of Ireland. He was
fated by the irony Of destiny to die at a con-
1unctnre when a single error and his desper-
ate, lll-timed struggle to retrieve IL, had In
the minds Of most Of his compatriots out
weighed all his inestimable services"
The Times says: "Parnell's greatest
achievement was the building up Of an or
ganzation which made Irish opposition to
British rule In Ireland far more effective
than 1t had ever been before. III he had
been as capable of using power as he was Of
gaining it. Parnell would. years ago, have
framed positive programme for a settle
ment of the Irish question by making upon
England such demands as England could be
reasonably expected to grant. His leader
ship produced nothing for Ireland but con-
tinuance of agitation. His expulsion from
the leadership and his loss Of all Influence In
Irish affairs was the best thing that could
happen for Ireland"

termIne the cause of death. has created
great misgiyings in certain quarters. A tel
egram sent to Mr.. ParnelPs physicians, ask
ing the reason for such action, elected the
following reply: "Post mortem examine
tion will be made at our wish, with the con-
sent Of Mr.. Parpelps friends. 1t has not
been ordered" DIR. Covers said today that
the dissolution was as plain case as any he
ever attended. During the patients deliri-
um, some hours before he died, he talked
constantly Of Ireland and told what he
would do for her II he lived. In q brief, lu-
nell said, they being almost his last words

THE STORY OF A CRIME.
Trumpbour Tells How He Helped
Wreck the Ulster Bank.

KINGSTON, N. Y, October S.-There con-
tinues to be intense feeling against the Off
GERS Of the wrecked Ulster County Savings
Institution. Matthew 7. Trumpbour. the
assistant cashier, has made confession, In
which he makes unsupported charges
against prominent politicians and officehold-
ers. OF himself and Cashier Ostrander he
says:
Twenty years ago, when Ostrander and
myself took hold of the bank, there was a
shortage of 100000, stolen by our predeces-
sors. No scandal ever grew out OF that, for
the banks trustees kept it from the public.
We had not been there three years before L
found that Ostrander was using the bank s
funds. | went to him, and asked what he
meant by 1t. His reply was that he had
been speculating. At his urgent request l
became party to his falslfication OF the
books.
"His plan was to make false transfers
from the depositors' ledgers TO the trial
sheets-that is, If John Jones's account
showed a deposit balance Of 1868, In tran s.
ferring 1t to the trial balance the first figure
would be dropped, and the amount entered
at 1868. This would leave $4,000 to cover up
that muctfdefalcatlon, and as many false
transfers were made as might be necessary.
1t was an easy matter to pick them at ran
dom from the several thousand accounts"

Portland Tomorrow.
Especial to the Press.l


BRUNSWICK, Oct. s.
Owing to the great expense incurred in
maintaining foot ball team here at Bow
doin, and the somewhat depleted condition
Of the treasury at present, series of lectures
are being given under the auspices Of the
Bowdoin College Foot Ball Association.
The first lecture, by Henry 81. RagaD, has
given general satisfaction, and the managers
feel confident that their effort will succeed.
The interest in foot ball here this fall is
more than usual, and the way the men take
hold of the sport is encouraging. At pres
ent there are some over thirty men practIs-
ing on the Delta every afternoon, and signs
Of first class material for the eleven are
evident.
Haskell, who played centre on the team
last year, has returned and will probably
play in his old position. Fairbanks is doing
great work at quarter, and his blocking is
something noticeable. Stacey at half and
Carleton at full back are playing good foot
ball. and the rush here has some stOcky men
in Kimball, Bartlett, Dewey and Ridley.
The prospects for strong team are the best.
Manager Young has gone to Boston to
attend the meeting of the New England Foot
Ball Association, to be held at the Parker
House Wednesday evening, and the schedule
of games will be announced later. Arrange
ments are being made for game with
Brown University at Portland Saturday
next Wednesday the team goes to Exeter
to play the Phillips Exeter eleven, and Oct.
oath they play at Harvard.

dent Cleveland was named as chairman of

his appearance when he assumed the chair
He made speech which was frequently in
terrupted by applause. The applause was
especially enthusiastic when he spoke Of ex-
tortionate taxation, the defeat the Republi-
cans sustained at the last Congressional
election, and the merits Of the candidates
for governor and when he declared that no
Democrat should be guilty of lukewarmness
or slothfulness, Governor Hill then APP
peared. Mr.. Cleveland said he was now to
perform work Of uselessness and superero-
cation. He did not think 1t necessary to say
more and could not say less than that Gov.
Hill was there. Gov. Hill was greeted by
an .outburst of applause similar to and as
prolonged as that with which Cleveland was
received. He spoke upon the issues of the
state campaign.

WHAT THE PAPERS SAY.
Parneli's Death Will Tend to ReunIte
Irish Factions.

LONDON, October S.-The Standard, in an
article this morning on the death OF Parnell,
says: "Parnell unquestlonably exhibited a
high and unfaltering spirit under conditions
that would have driven an ordinary man
from the field Of battle. His death will
deepen the enthusiasm Of his memory. reviv-
ing in thousands of Irish breasts the senti-
ment Of fond fidelity wherewith he was
regarded till he quarrelled with the Catholic
hierarchy. At the grave political animosi-
ties will be buried, or dissembled for time
Even the most violent anti. Parnellltes are
likely to repeat the old eulogium Of former
chief. Yet Irish sentiment ought not to
warp England's judgment OF his character
and career as man with whom the end JUS
tilted the means"
The other newspapers Of the British isles
today are full Of the story OF ParnelPs death
and OF the personal "reminiscences OF the
Irish RlenZr' as the Dublin Mail terms
him. Even the Continental newspapers.

Britaid pay considerable attention to the
death Of the Irish leader. eHsa
PARIS. October 8.-The newspapers or
this city agree In stating that the death Of
Parnell will eventually prove of enormous

Ing parties In Irish politics.
The Figaro says Parnell's death Is an
event OF enormous political significance, not
only for England, but for the whole of Eu-
rope, as IL assures the triumph Of the Glad
st0nians, and consequently modification OF
english foreign powers.
