| LONDON, Oct 10.--Au enormous con-
course Of people surrounded Walsingham
terrace this morning, when the casket con-
tanning the remains of the late Charles
Stewart Parnell were takeu from the
house. Slowly and sadly was the body
placed in the open hearse, drawn by four
horses. At 1915 o'clock the cortege started
for the railroad station, amid terrific
/ downpour of rain. Immediately following
the hearse, in the mourning coaches, were
the committee Of Mr. Parnell's colleagues in
parliament who had been selected to escort
the body to Holyhead. The route to the
railroad station was lined with masses of
people, who silently and respectfully
watched the passage of the funeral pro-
cession.
/ AT THE STATION.
At the station the remains were placed
on board funeral car, aud with the mem~
bers Of the parliamentary party as watchers,
started for Wilesden junction, to which
place the car was taken direct and where it
was to be coupled at z o'clock tonight to a
train bound for Holyhead. The remains,
consequently, will not pass through London,
as ct first proposed. Mrs. Parnell was
utterly unable to accompany the remains to
Dublin. She is too i'll to undertake the
journey.
MRS. PARNELL's GRIEF.
There was a terrible scene inside the
house when the casket was about to be re-
moved The grief Of Mrs. Parnell was most
poigaant and she could with difficulty be
persuaded to allow tho coffin to be
taken away. As mark of respect
to the dead, the blinds Of many houses along
the route followed by the funeral process
sion on its way to the station were drawn
down, and on every side were signs of sin-
cere sympathy. The cnsket was covered
with magnificent wreaths Of flowers, one of
which, In the center Of all, was from his
wife.
| SPECTATORS WITH UNCOVERED HEADS.
As the hearse passed them, despite the
downpouring rain, the spectators took Off
their hats and stood uncovered until the
last carriage had gone by. A dozen car
| riages followed the hearse from Walsing-
ham terrace to the station contain
ing, among others, Mrs. Dickinson, Mr.
! Parnell's sister, Henry Parnell, John Red
mond, Pierce Mahoney and Mrs. Mahonev,
Henry Harrison, James j. O'Kally, Col

nell. Also in the mournful procession was
5 a deputation from the Dublin corporation
4 leadership committee. sent to escort the
7 body to Dublin.
AT THE STATION AT BRIGHTON.
. At the railroad station at Brighton the
i | funeral party waited an hour, the building
; being packed with people pressing forward
) to get glimpse of the oasket. 1t was As
: | O'clock before the remains were placed on
: board the train. which then started for
, | WillisdenJunction. The funeral train arrived
i | at Willisden Junction at $40 O'Clock.
: Over a thousand persons then marched in
single file with uncovered neads, before lhe
car containing the casket. Representatives
n | Of all the London leagues, Cunningham
! Graham, M. 2 :, and other English members
wreaths in the funeral car. At $50 o'clock
the train left Willisden for Holyhead.
Mr.. Parnell's sister, Mrs. Dickinson,
r has been found, and 1sbe does notl believe
that he left any. as he had said that he did
not intend to make one. She thinks that
: he wished his brother, Howard Parnel, an
American, TO inherit his property.
DILLON CALLED MURDERER.
DUBLIN, Oct 10.-As John Dillon was
J passing down Sackvlle street yesterday
0 evening hs was mot by rough who
shouted you're murderer" Mr. Dillon
managed to pass without further trouble.
/ but twenty yards further on he was &C.
costed by two other men, who approached
} him, saying in a threatening manner:
There's Dillon, the murderer" Mr.. Dillon
) says that the men had been drinking, bat it
is asserted that the language used was
| the result of secret meeting OF Parnellites.
The situation of affairs is regarded as cr,ti-
cal. The Freemo1fs Journal to-day an
nounced, "with the most acute pain," that
Messrs. Dillon, Sexton aud others will be
forced to absent themselves from the Par
3 nell funeral The Freenldit's Journal adds
| under the heading "a Reign of Terror"
, "If there is any violence the Irish people
, will hold United Ireland responsible for it. u
, DEEP UNDERcURREST OF ANGER.
The Freemdn's Journal says the startling
insults TO which Dillon was subjected show
1.-THE deep undercurrent of angry feeling
which has been provoked by United Ire
land. The McCarthyites had every desire
: to pay the last tribute to tho
4
that they could not do SO without
rendering probable an insult to the sacred
presence Of ths dead by causing an exhibi-
tion OF intolerable anger upon the part of
an infatuated section of his followers.
| Nothing but desire to preserve TIE public
and a determination TO guard Ireland from
, reproach has influenced their decision to be
{ absent"
4 AN IMPOSING FUNERAL.
5 The funeral promises to be one of the
/ most imposing eve: held in ireland. Spe-
cial trains from all parts OF the country will
bring tens Of Thousands of mourners to
: Dublin. The city this morning was pla-
carded from end to end with posters de-
scribing the order Of tue procession
} and the route it will fol-
low. James Stephens, ex-leader of the
I Fenian brotherhood, has been assigned a
special position in the parade, which with
out doubt will be a most remarkable turn
, | ing out Of the masses of the Irish people.
1t Is understood that the late Mr.. Paruell's
. family are opposed to having his remains
inferred in Glashevin for tho reason that is
is a Catholic cemetery.
