LONDON, Oct. 7.-Great Britain and
Ireland were startled this morning by
the utterly unlocked for announcement
that Charles Stewart Parnell, the noted
Irish leader, died suddenly yesterday
evening at his home in Brighton. 1t
has been well known that Mr.. Parnell
has not enjoyed the best of health for
years past and it has been widely COM
mented upon that since the O'Shea
divorce developments became o matter
O'public notoriety, and since political
trouble came upon him, that tho great
Irish member Of Parliament has grown
thinner, and that he had perceptibly
aged in appearance. But nobody ex-
pcctcd to hear OF his death and no ink
linz as to his illness had reached tho
newspapers.
Only at this hour Il p. N.Y. has it been
possible to obtain details in regard to
the death OF Mr.. Parnell.

Terrace, Brighton, ut II 80 Yesterday
evening His death Is said to have
been indirectly due to chill which he
caught last week and which Mt first was
not regarded as being OF serious
nature. Mr.. Parnell, however, grew
worse and physician was called in
with the result that the patient was
ordered to take to his bed. This was
on Friday last and from that time Mr..
parGeIl lost strength and finally sue
cumbed.

until he expired in the arms of Mrs.
farne!l who is utterly prostrated by the
snock experienced through her 'hus.
bands death.
IN this city particularly the news OF
Mr. Parnelfs death camo down like
thunder bolt upon tho clubs and in
pontica! circles. Nobody, so far rs at

Hcad, naturally the first idea formed
was 'nat he had committed suicide.

E!' from the statements OF his intimate
friends that Mr.. Parnell had complained
