Sensational RuinOrs Regarding the Irish
Leader Recently Married In secret -
The Bride said to BE the Daughter of
Mrs. o'Shea. of Divorce Case Notoriety.
LONDON, April S.-The relations of
Nj parnell to Mrs. O'Shea have been
rendered more mysterious than ever by
recent reports. No declaration has
vet been made by Mr.. parnell
himself or 10y any person author
lied to speak for either of the
persons concerned that they are to
be married when the divorce is made
absolute. That period is now near at
hand and the friends of both are
anxious that the ambiguous situ-
alton should he cleared up. The
state of affairs has led to the bring
ing mp of crop of rumors damag-
ing to the reputation of the gentleman
and lady already SO much compro-
missed These various stories with
more or less foundation. eliminated in
the report Monday that the marriage
with Mrs O'Shea would not take place,
as Mr. Parnell had already been
secretly married to another lady.
Astonishment was increased by the
rumor that the lady in question is a
daughter of Mrs. O'Shea and that the
marriage took place in secret because,
among other reasons, the young lady
was = ward in chancery. The latter
story rapidly spread in the Hobbies of
the house of commons and is eagerly
and variously discussed, but il finds few
believers
The more the Parnell-O'Shea case is
considered the worse it looks. That an
instant and indignant contradiction has
not been given to the latest
stories by Mr.. Parnell orohis friends
is damaging. The general opinion
among members of parliament is that
if these reports are true it was a
dastardly act to ruin the character of
the mother for the sake of the paltry
pounds TO be derived by the daughter
from the will of Lady Wood. The
will, however, shortly comes again be-
fore the courts when the evidence 10
be adduceG viii probably settle it and
the Parnell-O Shea mystery as well.
Until that event prudent people reserve
their opinion.

place on a mantel in Miss Ridgleys
room. They left several notes, one
giving as reason for their act that
death is sweet and we prefer it to
life" They requested that they be
buried in the same grave. The request

"Liver complaint and indigestion
