Parne1l's ObseQuies.

Charles Stewart Parnell was buried In
Glasnevin Cemetery, Dublin, Ireland, in the
presence of an immense assemblage. AS a
scene of great but suppressed excitement
and still greater impresslveness the funeral
and its surroundings will never be forgotten
by those who witnessed it and will long fur
nish landmark in the history of Ireland
On the day before, an enormous concourse
of people surrounded Walsingham Terrace,
Brighton, England, when the casket contain
ing the remains of the late Irish leader was
taken from the house. Slowly and
sadly the body placed in an
open hearse, drawn by four horses.
Immediately following the hearse in mourn
ing coaches was the committee of Mr.. Par
nell's colleagues in Parliament who had been
selected to escort the body to Holykcad. The
route to the railroad station was lined with
masses of people
At the station the remains were placed On
board the funeral car, and with members of
the Parnell Parliamentary party as watch
ers started for Willesden Junction.
Mrs. Parnell was unable to accompany
dertake the journey. There was a terrible
scene inside the house when the casket was
about to be removed. The grief of Mrs
Parnell was most poignant, and she could
with difficulty be persuaded to allow the
coffin to be taken away.
The casket was covered with magnificent
wreaths of flowers one of which, in the CEN
tire of all, was from his wife. 1t bore the
inscription, To my own true love, my hus-
band. my king"

At the time Mr. Parnell entered the House
of Commons coersion bill for Ireland was
in course OF enactment; indeed Mr.. ParnelPs
first vote ii the House was recorded against
coercion. It was Scring the debates on this
bill that Mr.. Parnei, in company with Mr..
Biggar introduced what was atterward SO
well known by the name OF construction" into
the House.
Mr.. Parnelrs first suspension occurred
during debate on the proposed annexation
of the Transvaal to the British Empire.
In 1873 a conference OF the Irish party
was held, and Mr.. Farnen was elected chair
man of it. In that year the Government SO
far recognized his power as TO accept thirty
OF his amendments 10 the CTovernment army
bill, among which was abolishing hogging
in the army.
At the close of the session of 1879 Mr..
Parnell entered upon new and important
epoch in his career There had been q sue
cession of three bad harvests in Ireland, the
country was threatened with deep and wide
spread distress, and the time was ripe Tor
starting 4 new movement for the reform or
the relations between landlord and tenant.
A meeting had been held IN lrlshtown,
County Mayo, in the previous April, but 1t
was not till June til at Mr.. Parnel formally
Joined the new land movement. IL was on
that occasion that he uttered as the key
note of the coming struggle the words:
Keep a firm grip on your homesteads.
On the 21st of October following the Irish
National League was founded, and Mr..
Parnen was elected its first president.

Sketch OF His Career

Charles Stewart Parnell Member of the
British Parliament. was born in 1915 at
Avondale, County Wicklow, Ireland. He Is
descended from an old English family that
land, and many of his ancestors played
prominent parts in history. Thomas Par
nell, the poet was one of the family. Mr..
Parnelps grandfather was Sir John Parnell,
who for many years held the Office of
Chancellor of the Exchequer in the Irish
Parliament, and resigned rather than vote
for the act of Union. Sir Henry ParneIl.
Sir Johns son, after many years service in
the House Of Commons, was raised to peer
age as Lord Congleton in 1871. Mr. Parnell,
whose mother, now living at Ironsides, Bor-
dentown, n. j., was daughter of Admiral
Charles Stewart, the celebrated American
naval officer, was educated at various private
schools in England, and afterward sent to
Magdalen College, Cambridge. After a tour
OF some duration in this country, he returned
to his home in Wicklow, and was high sheriff
OF the county in 1874.
Mr.. ParnelPs advent into the political
struggle in Ireland took place at the gen.
eral election Of 1874, or rather Immediately
after it, when Colonel Taylor's acceptance
OF office necessitated his reelection for the
County Dublin. Mr.. Parnell was selected
by the Home Rule League to oppose
Colonel Taylor, and though the fight from
the first was considered to be a hopeless
one, Mr.. Parnell entered into the struggle
with alacrlty, and acquitted himself in
manner which drew from his political spon-
sors, among whom was the late A. NJ Sulli-
van, the highest praise.
After his defeat nothing was heard of Mr.
Parnell in politics until the arrival of John
Mitchell in Ireland. When MIR. Mitchell was
opposed by Mr.. Moore in his candidature
for the representation of the premier county.
Mr.. Parnen supported Mr.. Mitchell in an
admirable letter, and inciosed draft of $125
70 deTray the expenses of the contest.
In 1875, on the demise of John Martin.
who represented the county of Meath in
Parliament, Mr.. Parnell was selected to sue
coed him. He was opposed by Tory and
rival Home Ruler, but succeeded in beating
both.

In December of the same year he came
here in order to raise funds for the relief OF
the distressed and for starting the new or
ganization. He lectured in a large number
of towns before several State Legislatures
and before the House of Representatives at
Washington. The honor of addressing the
last body had previously been conferred up
on but three persons, Lafayette, Bishop
England. of Charleston. and Kossuth.
In March, 1880. he returned to Ireland
from America, and at a meeting OF the
Home Rule members of Parliament on May
IT, was elected chairman of the Irish party.
In the autumn Of 1880 he took an active
part in organizing the Land League, which
rapidly grew to be the most powerful of
Irish movements.
were Laid by tho Irish Attorney 5enarA
against Mr.. Parnell and several other me lie
bers of the Land League Executive. The
trial opened in Dublin on the 28th day Of
December, and finally, after nineteen days
hearing, ended In a disagreement of the
jury. In the opening of the sessions of 1881
the Government brought a coercion bill, and
to that measure as we'll as to an arms bill,
Mr.. Parnell and his colleagues offered a
fierce and obstinate opposition prolonged
over seven weeks.
On October he was arrested and con-
veyed to Kilmainham Jail. Mr.. Parnell re-
manned In Kilmainham Jail until April 10,
1882, when he was released on parole, In Or
der to attend the funeral of relative.
In the session of 1882 he took an active
part in procuring the passage of the Arrears
act and of the Tramways and Laborers acts
in the session of 1888. A national subscrip-
ton for Mr.. Parnell was started in the
spring l 1858, and o. sl75 900 was
raised among the Irish at home and in
America and presented to him.
The Parnell Commission was instituted to
inquire into certain allegations contained in
pamphlet entitled 'Farnellism and Crime
published at the London Times office, and
charging Mr.. Parnell and others with con-
spiracy, and organization having for its OBJ
ject the separation Of Ireland from England
as a nation.
Letters i'll fac-simile purporting to have
been written by Mr.. Parnell, and proving
his completely in crime, were given in the
pamphlet. They were denounced as forgeries
by Mr.. Parnell; and such they proved to be-
They were the work Of the william Richard
Pigott, who had sold them to the Times, and
who, on the discovery of his crime, fed to
Spain and there committed suicide The
commission sat 12S days and examined nearly
500 witnesses.
1t was followed by an action for libel,
brought by Mr.. Parneil against the Times,
and resu'ted in its having to pay Mr.. Par
nell S25, 900 damages. In July, 1889 he was
presented with the freedom of Edin burgh
In December, 1889, Captain O'Shea fled
suit for divorce, with Mr.. Parnell as CO
respondent.
Mr.. Parnell made no defence. The divorce
was granted, Captain OShea got the custody
of such of the children as were minors and
Mr.. ParnelI and Mrs. OShea took up their
residence in adjoining houses. They were
married June 81, 1891. Mrs. O'Shea
had considerable fortune in her own
right.

THE DESPATCH WRECKED.
She Went Ashore On Assateague way
Shoals in q Gale.

She went Ashore On ASSateaSue (Va.)
Shoals in Gale.
The United States steamer Despatch while
on her way from New York to Washington
ran ashore On Assateague shoals on the Vir-
GINA coast during the night and was totally
wrecked
The weather was thick and nasty that
night, and the commanding officer of the
Despatch Rugged the shore too closely in his
efforts to avoid the full fury of the weather,
and her dangerous position was not dlscoV-
cred until it was too late to avoid being
driven on the shoals by the heavy northeast
gale which prevailed.
There is hardly a more dangerous and
treacherous place along the coast than As
sateague. The tug North America went to
her assistance.
The Despatch was firmly fixed in the sand,
broadside on to the beach. A high sea was
running and rapidly pounded her to pieces.
The Assateague life saving crew succeeded
safety, and they were properly cared for
There was little or no hope Of hauling the
vessel off.
The grounding of the Despatch is not new
experience with the Navy Department. This
is the fourth time within a year that she has
thus distinguished herself, but on each &C.
casion she has been hauled off without incur
ring serious damage.
The Despatch succeeded the old Tallapoosa
as the Presidents yacht and despatch vessel
about six years ago. Her days despatch
vessel were already about ended. The
Dolphin is now being fitted at the Norfolk
yard to take her place. and it is expected she
will be ready for the service in about sixty
days. The Despatch upon being relieved
was to be assigned to duty freight boat
after general overhauling, of which she was
badly in need.
