KILLED BY CRUELTY.
Abuses I'm British Prisons to Rise
in Parliament.


DUBLIN. Nov. 1.-THE death of P.
W. Nally, who died Monday week in
Mount Joy prison, and whose remains
have just been inferred in Glasnevin
cemetery, near this city, will undoubt-
edly prove one of the sensational feat
ures of the battle to be fought in paria-
ment Immediately after the reaSSem-
bling of the houses. For once it is eX-
pected that the sympathies of even some
of the more rabid Tories will be enlisted
in the approaching inquiry, for it is
claimed that Nally's death was directly
due to most hard and infamous treat
ment received at the hands of the keep
erS of Milbank prison, London, where
Nally was detained previous to being
transferred to Mount Joy prison.
The friends of Nally are not the only
people to make the charges; and they
are not the usual charges made by Irish
Nationalist against the keepers of the
English prisons in which they have been
unfortunate enough to sOjOurn for pc
RODS of months or years. The charges
made are the result of a carefully in
quirv into the facts by an unbiased cor
Oner's jury, who, after hearing great
deal of testimony, after examining the
keepers of the two prisons ane eliciting
from them some most startling admiS-
sions, yesterday rendered a well-consid-
erei verdict to the effect that p w.
Nally, instead of dying from typhoid
fever as announced by the prison Off
Gals, died from the effects of the harsh
and most cruel treatment the unfOrt-
innate Irishman had been compelled to
endure in Millbank prison. This treat
ment, according to the verdict of the
coroHer'S jury. so shattered Nally'S
ing condition when transferred to Mount
JOS prison.
GladstCne's attention has also been
called to the matter. and it is expected
that he will not let such a chance of
pummeling the Tories escape him easily.

Connecticut Democrats May Yet
Receive Their Rights.
NEW HAVEN, Conn, Nov. IA de-
cision of Judge Phelps in the superior
court at Clinton yesterday is of
the utmost Importance in its bear
ings on the Connecticut gov
ernorship contest now in the courts.
A Democrat contested the election last
October of Republican on the ground
that Republican ballots were left blank
as to a certain candidate, or had been
pasted or written over the ballots.
Judge Phelps found that. lowing to flaws
in the ballots of. both parties, not q
single legal ballot had been cast
in Clinton at the last cleo
ton. By agreement of both
sides all the law points involved were
reserved for the supreme court of the
state at its January session. These will
thus reach the supreme court not long
after its decision in the quo warrantO
case. The highly important ques-
ton is about the prohibition of
blank ballots cast at the state
election of 1890, to the number
of 1000. which would Immediately let in
all the Democratic candidates for state
offices. Judge Hall, Republican, in the
East Lynn contested election case, de-
cidee these ballots illegal. but that the
case under the law could not be ap-
pealed. as has now been done in the
Clinton case.
