LONDON, Oct. Great Britain al d
Ireland we're startled this morning by
the utterly unlocked for announcement
that Chas. Stewart Parnell, the noted
Irish leader died suddenly yesterday in
Brighton. 1t has been known that
Parnell had not enjoyed the best health
for years and it bad also been noticed
and widely commented upon that since
the U'Shea divorce, developments of a
critical trouble had come on him, and
that he had perceptably aged in appear
a1ce, but no one expected to hear of his
death and not an inkling as to his illness
had reached the newspapers.
He died at his home in Wellschem
Terrcae, Brighton, at 11:30 yesterday
evening. Death is said to have been
indirectly caused by cold caught last
week, which at first was not regarded as
serious. Parnell, however, grew worse,
and physicians were called in with the
result that the patient was ordered to
his bed. This was Friday last, and from
that time Parnell lost his strength, fin
ally succumbing. The exact nature of
the disease is not known at present.
From the day he took to his bed, how
ever, the state Of ParnelPs health was
such as to necessitate the constant at
tention of two physicians. Despite the
untiring efforts to save his life Parnell
gradually sank lower, until he expired
in the arms OF Mrs. Parnell, who is ut
terly Frustrated blythe shock.

contested the North Kilkenny election
and defeated Parnell, it's candidate for

test of strength between the Parnellites
and the McCarthyites.
