McC2rthy's Oninion.

LONDON, Oct 7-Jusrin Mccarthy, in an
interview, said he hoped that Parnell's
death would lead to complete reunion of
all shades of opinion among Irishmen in
general and in the Irish parliamentary
party in particular.
Certainly he said, sit will not hinder
the progress of autonomy, or in other words
of the movement for self-government of
Ireland
Continuing, Mccarthy said he believed
that all feeling of hostility between indi-
vidual members of the Irish parliamentary
party would be swallowed up and completely
disappear in the feeling of genuine
and universal regret which was experienced
among Irishmen at the death of Parnell.
Three weeks ago. Mr. Mccarthy said
1--WE (Alr. Parnell and myself had long
and friendly conference.
This conference took place at my house at
Chelsea, and we mutually agreed to draw a
part of the Paris fund from the bankers in
the French capital in order to defray the
expenses of registering, which were in
Cured before the split in the party.
Before the divorce proceedings" said
Mccarthy in conclusion, Il was close
friend of Parnell, whom l admired in
tensely.
'Parnell consulted me in regard to his
in endeaVoring TO prevent him from issuing
it to the public. My idea in try
ing to prevent him from so
doing was that the issuance of the mani
festo would make his further leadership of
the Irish party an utter impossIbility.
The above is about the substance of what
Mccarthy said, but it was evident
that he and members of his
party were deeply affected at Parncll's
death, and that all feeling
OF luminosity to the great Irish leader had
sunk beneath the food of sorrow caused by
his sudden and untimely death.

Lost Children Found.

Late yesterday afternoon Mrs. George A.

two little children, boy aged four and girl
aged five, in care Of an aged negro woman,
to the city to have the little boys arm
dressed by 4 physician, it having been

il had been the custom 10 let
the children accompany her when not in a
hurry, she being heretofore trustworthy.
Hours passed by and the trio failed 10 re-
turn, and Mrs. Taft became alarmed. She,
at about 10 O'Clock last night, came to the
physicians office, but could learn nothing
of her children. The frantic mother mott
fled the officers, and Policemen Pey
ton Maddox and Frank Darby set
out to find the children and the negro
Proceeding TO the lower part OF the city
they struck trail, and learned at several
points of the trio having been seen, and
also learned that the woman was imblbing
freely. This added terror to the mothers
alarm. 1t was learned that they were
seen to board Houston street car,
but which one was the question. After
three-hours' diligent search they were
found wandering on the South Side, many
blocks from Mrs. Taft's residence, the
children being chilled through, and the ne
gro could give no intelligent account Of her
actions, and the children were too small to
do so, but were overioyed to know they
would soon be restored to their mamma. The
mother was almost frantic with joy to be
permitted to embrace her lost darlings
again, for she had pictured all manner OF
things had befell them. She, too, was too
much eated TO have word to utter against
the servant, but was profuse in thanks to
Officers Maddox and Darby for returning

THE DEAD PsRSELL.

To Mr.. ParneQ death came too late.
He lived a year too long for his own
good. Had lie been taken away a
year ago he would have left an honora-
bic name and au illustrious record to
his country. The man who died yes
to-day was dislonored, overthrow,
repudiated 10y the people whose great
est delight had been to testify to their
love for him. From the time of his en-
trance into politics in 1875, nothing had
been denied his asking, until he fell
into fatal liaison with a woman, who
dragged him down from his high estate
and wrecked the fortunes of the I'M
crowned king OF Ireland.
Though only forty-fve years old,
Parnell had spent sixteen years of that
time in active official life. He was sent
to parliament in 1875, and soon after
began TO take stand among the lead
ers for Irish advancement. Within
lament he had displaced Mr.. Butt, the
then leader OF the Irish organization in
England From that tine b is iuhu-
ence grew until he became in effect
the absolute dictatOr of the Irish party.
His triumphs we're many. While on
i visit to this country in 1880 he had
the distinguished honor to be invited to
address the house OF Representatives at
Washington, which had been bestowed
upon but two men before him, two Of
whom were Lafayette and Kossuth.
His strength and importance in the
Irish cause led TO his arrest by the En-
glish government, and he spent several
months in kimainham Jail, which
made him 4 martyr in the eyes of the
Irish people. and gave him an almost
Irresistible hold upon their affections.
His triumphs and his downfall are q
part OF such recent history that they
need not be spoken of here. He was q
victim OF tina. weakness before which
N " men rs high as he and as hon
ored have gone down in disgrace and
death.

He Was Long n Sick Man

DUBLIN, Oct. Now that Parnell is
dead it is said that it was matter of noto-
riety among his intimate friends that his
health has been rapidly declining for months
back. His friends and the doctors they
say urged him in vain to be more careful,
but all their remonstrances were unavail-
ing Parnell continued to work ut the
highest pressure and underwent
constant privations and fatiguing
journeys which would have
ruined the health of the strongest
man. After the Sligo election when Ber-
nard Coliey, the anti-Parnell candidate, de-
feated Parnell's candidate Valentine B.
Dillon, it was privately admitted
that Parnell. was greatly depressed, and
that he felt himself obliged to resort to
stimulants in order to sustain his nerves.
AT Creegs, on September 81 last, Mr..
Parnel complained of suffering from Pc
culiar pain in the region of his heart, which
he said had never troubled him before.
This was in addition to the rheumatic trou-
bic in his arm, which has already been re-
ferred to.
Members of the National League now in
this city are making arrangements neces-
sary to attend the funeral of
MIR. Parnell. Members of parliament
and others who remained followers

The Killing of Deputy Marshal Taylor.
Special TO the Gazette.
TAHLEQuAH, l. T, Oct Tt was re-
ported here yesterday that another deputy
marshal named 0. L. Taylor was killed at
Shidtook in the Cherokee nation. The
killing was done by one W. B. Rodgers, eX
senator from the Coweescoowee district,
a man of considerable prominence in this
country. The report was verified to-day.
The following particulars were learned from
a prominent citizen, who lives at Clare
more. 1t seems that Taylor had the repu-
tation Of being desperate man, being one
of the parties engaged in the Hugotou,
Kan, killing about two years ago. The
marshal was at Rogers house trying TO
persuade woman with whom he
had become infatuated to leave Rodgers
house and go with him 10 the Usage nation.
This the woman refused to do, and the mar
shall accused Rodgers of being the cause
and at the same time said he would kill
Rodgers on sight. On learning OF this
threat Rodgers armed himself with a
double barrel shotgun, and in a few minutes
met the marshal at his yard fence. AS
the marshal recognized Mr.. Rodgers he
attempted to draw his pistol, but was shot
through the heart by Rodgers before he
could do so. Rodgers is very wealthy, and
of one of the first families of this nation.
The matter has created considerable excite
ment here. He is now fixing up bond, and
will give himself up to the United States
authorities in a few days.
GIVES ANOTHER CAUSE.
Special to the Gazette.
VINITA, 1. I, Oct. 7.-Particulars have
just been received Of the killing of Lee
Taylor, a United States deputy marshal at
tached to the Wichita, Kan, court, by w.
c. Rodgers, postmaster at Skidtook, 1. T.,
sixty miles west of here. The killing
took place last Thursday noon,
Just as the marshal arose from
Rodgers table and was purely the result of
the latter's being drunk. Two charges OF
shot were fred into his chest, killing him
instantly, whereupon Rodgers ordered a
team, and taking what money there was in
the safe, left.
Rodgers is man possessed of great
means. and well known throughout the Ma
ton and the neighboring states.

A Great Race.

TRREE HAUTE, IND, Oot. THE match
race between Direct aud Pointer was con-
Guided to-day, resulting in victory for
Pointer.
The misty morning and chilly northwest
wind stood in the way of good attendance.
Notwithstanding these unfavorable condi-
tions, about COCO people We're on the grounds
when the unfinished match race was
called: Previous to the first heat pools
sold: Hal Pointer, $50; Direct, SIS, with
plenty OF takers for both ends.
Two pools of $1,000 TO $3.50 each were sold,
Andy Walsh taking the long end and J.
Murphy of Chicago the short. Fully $780,
GOO went into the box before the bell tapped.
When the word was given the first time
Pointer had a little the best of it. The
first quarter pole was passed in 534
seconds. No change of position to the half
in 1:054. Down hill the pace was
quickened and fifteen seconds marked the
rate. The three-quarter pole was
reached IN 81 and Starr begins to
ply the whip. The stallion gamely
answers the call, and they turn into the
stretch at terrific burst, Hal Pointer an
swerlng easily every effort of Direct The
black stallion is game, but nature cannot
stand the clip They go under the wire
with Geer's head turned watching Direct
No pools We're sold on the last heat. The
conclusion has forced itself that Pointer is
unbeatable.
When at the second score they got the
word, Pointer with his ears laid back
was the personihcation of determine
tion. GeerS carries Direct wide at
the turns and gives him the long
mile. At the quarter in 1914 seconds
Direct is length back, Starr evidently
holding back for brush. The same posi-
ton at the half in 1:07, and at the three
quarters in 40. Starr now rallies the black
horse with the skill of a master reinsman.
He is on to Pointers wheels at the turn
for home. At the distance stand Direct
falters, but Starr gathers him up and with
a great drive tries in sheer desperation for
the heat. 1t is no use, Pointer has speed
and endurance to spare.
