regarded as being of a serious nature.

that the patient was ordered to take to
his bed. This was on Friday last, and
from that time MI. Parnell lost strength
and finally succumbed. The exact
nature of the disease which caused the
death of the Irish leader is not made
known at present. From the day he
took to his bed, however, the state of
Mr.. Parnell's health has been such as to
necessitate the constant attendance of
two physicians, but in spite of their in

or to save his life, Mr.. Parnell gradu-

Mrs. Parnell, who has been completely
devoted to her husband, refusing to
leave his bedside for eve an hours rest,
is utterly Frustrated by the shock, and
her physicians are somewhat apprehen-
sive of her condition.
