LAST HOPE GONE.

'arnen Can Never Again Lead the Irish
Party-The Desertion of Dillon and
O'Brien Knock the Last Prop from
Under Him.
LONDON, Aug. 1.-Messrs. Dillon and
)'Brien's reputation of Parnell,
though foregone conclusion, has pro-
;oundly depressed the Parnellites, who
.elied upon belief that both would
uspend a public pronouncement MIR.
Parnell sought through private COM
nunications made on the eve of
heir release, to resume negotia-
ions, but neither responded to
ihese secret overtures. Mr.. Par
lell hoped until the last moment
hat he would again entangle them in
naneuvers for reunion. Their prompt
and decisive declarations as soon as
ihey were outside the prison doors, and
their refusal to listen to any advances
rom the Parnellites, fell like DEATH
blow upon the faction. The last flicker
If hope went out when the lord mayor
If Dublin and other devoted Parnell-
ties vainly tried to induce Mr.. O'Brien,
who was supposed to be more
iuctile that Mr. Dillon, to reconsider
his position. Mr.. 0'Brien bluntly de-
slined renewal of the Boulogne nego-
iations or any approach thereto. When
the attitude of the released leaders be-
came definitely known the chief Dublin
Parnellites held meeting privately
and had warm time disputing over
the course they should take. An
ntimation reached them of the
1esertion of the party organs
IN Dublin and Belfast, and
several members of the Parnellite COM
nittee withdrew, leaving the steadfast
ldherents to pass a resolution denounc-
ng Dillon and O'Brien and urging Mr..
Parnell not to yield.

William Caldwell Hanged at Houston,
Tex.-Isllam White Meets a Like Fate at
Helena, Ark.
HoUsroN, Tex, Aug. William
Caldwell was executed at 1880 a. M,
N the county Jail He died without
making statement, but expressed the
belief that he was going to Heaven.
He walked upon the scaffold with
out assistance and in eight minutes
after the trap fell he was pronounced
dead. His neck was broken. Cald-
wells death probably sealed the lips of a
man who could, had he wished have
told more about the origin of the jay
bird and woodpeclzer strife in Fort Bend
county than any other person. He was
negro far above the usual intelli-
gence of his race. The warfare
which existed for a couple of years
between these two political fac
tions eXterminated whole families
and scores of men were murdered.
But Caldwell is the only person who
met judicial death on account of it.
He killed DIR. j. NJ. Shamblen on the
night of July 81, 1883. DIR. Shamblen
was prominent jaybird, or
democrat. Caldwell was a wood
pecl1er, or republican. On the night Of
the assassination DIR. Shamblen was
sitting at table in his home holding
family prayer, with his wife and fam
lily surrounding him, when he was shot
through a window, No one saw Cald-
we'll shoot the doctor and the evidence
was purely circumstantial.
HELENA, Ark, Aug. 1.-Isham White
was executed in the Jail yard here at
1890 p. m, The crime for which White
was executed was the murder of Prince
Malloy, negro, for the money he was
known to keep in his house. The mur
