Another account of Mr.. ParnelPs fatal illness
is as follows Mr.. Parnell arrived at his home
at Brighton from Ireland on Thursday. and COM
nlained of suffering from chill On the next
day he was unable to leave his bed, and his reg
nlar physician was summoned. The latter soon
sent for another physician with whom ne heid
long consultation. Another consultation was heio
on Sunday, when Mr.. Parnell was found 10 pc Ill
oreat pain and apparently growing weaker every
hour His illness was pronounced to DC an al'acA
Of acute rheumatism. He was carefully ana uh-
tirngly nursed by his wife, who hardly lelo LIS
bedside from the moment her husbands illness
os nronounced TO be of a serious nature. MI.
porpall in snite of the care and attention which
he received, did not seem to rally from uhe
rheumatic attack and grew weaker and weaker
Several hours before his death Mr.. ParneH De-
came unconscious, and so remained until ne dled-

that ,of Mrs. Parnell were present at his Dedslde
when he died.
Mrs Parnell is receiving large number of
tologranbc messages of coincidence, from appar-
ortly all narts of the world. \ dispatch from

Mrs Parnell requests that an emphatic denial

suicide. She states that he had long suffered from
rheumatism which developed into the fever tnat
killed him.
In an interview tonight, James O'Kelly, Men,
ber of Parliament for North Roscommon, said that
he had called upon Mrs. Parnell this evening, ana
that she had allowed him to see the body oi Mr.
Parnell Mr.. O'Kelly could not say what was the
cause Of death, as he lad not seen either OF the
physicians who had attended MIR. ParneH IN MS
last illness The peaceful expression on the race
however suggested that death had resulted from
natural causes, and had come without any violent
pain
In this city particularly the news of Mr.. Par
nells death came like thunderbolt in the clubs
and in political circles Nobody, so far as at first
known, was even aware that he was indisposed
and consequently when it became known that
he was dead, naturally. the first idea formed
was that he had committed suicide. As the day
wore on, however, it was learned that Mr.. Parnell
had complained to his intimate friends recently
OF not feeling as well as usual
The last time Mr.. Parnell appeared in public
was at Creegs, in Ireland on September 27 when
he delivered a long speech upon the attitude and
ALLEGED inconsistencies of Mcssrs Dillon and
O'Brien Upon that occasion Mr.. Parnell said
that he was speaking in defiance of his doctors,
who had expressly ordered him TO keep to his
room. While Mr.. Parncll WIS speaking at
Creegs it was noticed that he was extremely pale
and that in other respects he was not the same
man he had been in the past In addition TO his
pallor which seemed to denote falling health. Mr..
Parnell carried his left arm in sling Ills
friends upon asking him the cause of this. were
informed that he was suffering from rheumatism.
1t appears that Mr.. and Mrs. Parnell fully in
tended having religious marriage ceremony per-
formed, but the Vicar of Steyning refused to Of
fciate on the ground that Mrs. Parnell was di-
vorced woman. The vicar, however, offered TO
lend the use Of his church for the ceremony, II
Mr.. Parnell found clergyman TO oficiate. The
Bishop Of the diocese forbade the ceremony, as
the parties were already cvilly married. Finally.
through Mr. Parnelps perseverance,, it was arranged
that the Rev. Mr.. Penfold, of St James's, Mary
lebone should offciate, and Mr.. Parnell intended
to seek license upon the return Of the Bishop
OF Chichester who was on the Continent
An interview is published with man who ac-
companied Mr. Parnell to Kilkenny at the time
of the memorable political contest In which his
candidate, Vincent Scully, was so badly defeated
by the late Sir John Pope Hennessy. the Anti
Parnellite candidate. The person interviewed
saws that he has seen Mr.. Parnell sitting with
folded arms, cold, calm and inscrutable, during
the sittings of the Commission at Kilkenny Neces.
