The Obsequios.
ParnelPs remains arrived at Kingston
at 7 a. m. yesterday. There was no
demonstration along the line from London
until Chester was reached, when deputa-
tions from Liverpool, Manchester Pres
ton and Newcastle, all destined for
Dublin, joined the train. The Parlia-
mentary colleagues of Mr., Parnell, in
Guiding John Redmond John O'Connor,
Joseph Nolan, DR.. Fitzgerald, James
O'Kelly and Henry Campbell were among
the people that greeted the populations
on their arrival at Holyhead, where the
train got in at o'clock in the morning,
in wet and hazy weather, that well be-
came the mournfulness of the scene.
Groups were collected on the quay to
watch the transfer of the coffin from
the train to the mRilboat Ireland. 1t
was depressing spectacle. The coffin
was deposited in an enclosure specially
fitted up for it, Throughout the voyage
across the stormy and dark waters that
separate the two countries, some of the
Parnellites were all the time on guard
over the remains of their beloved leader.
Among the watchers was the Lord Mayor
of Dublin, High Sheriff Meade and j. II.
Parnell brother of the departed.
At the Kingston pier a multitude was
gathered TO receive the remains.
With the Irish members who had fol
lowed the body from England, the group
at Kingston included nearly every Par
liamentary adherent of Parnell They
all gathered around the coffin in abso-
Lutte silence until after the remains had
been transferred to the carriage Of the
train for Dublin.
The Westland Row station in Dublin
was reached at 1880 a. m. A vast silent
crowd awaited with uncovered heads, as
the train steamed into the station
Timothy Harrington, M. p, was there,
and DIR. Hackett, who attended Parnell
when his eyes were nurt at Kilkenny,
and they joined the band of mourners
Conspicuous in front of the dense ma ses
of people were mem bers of the Gaelic
and Athletic societies, with their hurlers
used in their sports, draped black, and
tied with green ribbon. The representa-
tives of branches of the National League
wore black badges, on which were the
dying words of Parnell; "Give my love
to my colleagues and the Irish nation -
When the remains had been removed
in solemn silence from the train, the
coffin was taken from the case that en-
the glass panels of which permitted a
full exposure of the coffin to public view.
The case in which the coffin had been
enclosed on the way to Dublin was laid
aside. The crowd Immediately seized
upon and broke it into small pieces, to
carry away as mementoes of the dead.
AS the hearse moved from the station
body of police formed before the pro-
cession, which, without any design or
marshaling, appeared to fall into an
| orderly line in purely eXtemporized
fashion. A band and the " orkingmen's
Union, followed next after the police, the
band playing the dead march in Saul.
Then came the Gaelic and Athletic so
cieties, with their hurlers reversed, after
the manner of soldiers carrying reversed
arms
The City Hall Of Dublin was reached
at $3.50 a m. The front of the hall was
covered with sombre draperies, and
dense rain streamed down as the coffin
was borne into the hall toward the cata-
falque The rain did not diminish the
vast concourse that thronged toward the
hall ignoring the elements in their
anxiety to show their esteem for their
beloved leader 1t was an assemblage
of remarkable serenity Reverential
quiet pervaded the crowd, unbroken by
partisan cries or the remotest symptom
to disorder.
At 10 o'clock the gates were opened
and the people poured into the interior.
The body lay in state in tht council
chamber, a large circular room, now
heavily drapsd in black, relieved by
scrolls of white satin in looped festoons
bearing in black letters the last words of
Parnell The coffin, which rested on
raised dais in the centre of the cham b0r,
was buried under masses of wreaths,
floral crosses, Irish harps aud other floral
designs. Conspicuous on the eoftiu were
three wreaths from Mrs. Parnell, a cross
and anchor, and circle, with inscriptions.
From 10 o. clock until a continuous
stream Of people poured into the City
Hall. 1t is estimated that the people
who paid their tribute of respect to the
dead numbered at least ,for5y tlous Ind.
