P.iRNEIL'S EMIT.

Never perhaps, did a man of fame
descend so rapidly from the meridian
of his glory. and hasten 10 his setting
as Parnell has done. The men who
lately stood to him for the good he did
in former years. are now forced to
abandon him TO his fate to which he
persists in rushing with the reckless
ness of 4 mailman. In the loss of the
two HaIingtons and Dwyer Gray.
editor of the Dublin Freeman's Journal,
the most powerful paper in Ireland,
he loses his principal supporters.
The tragi-comedy in which he has for
few months been playing the leading
part, is now degenerated into a miser-
able farce. and the hour has arrived
when the curtain should be rung
down on the most disappointing polit-
zeal failure of the present decade. Par
nell As the architect Of his own ruin
has done well.

latter on something more than suspicion.
The Iast-named negro, King Simmons was
IN possession of the effects of the murdered
man. He lives in the vicinity. and. like the
other two, was employed on the adjoining
plantation. He was Intimately acquainted
with the habits of deceased. and knew that

LATE RAILWAY NEWS.
Cut Rates Still On.

CHICAGO, Ill, May 1S.-The restoration
of passenger rates between St. Louis and

did not go into effect to-day us ordered by
Chairman Finley of the Western pas
senger association. though the Wabash
and Atchison made pretense
OF advancing the rate from St
Louis 10 Chicago, as the Burlington did
from Kansas City to St Louis, but they
Immediately applied to Mr. Finley for re
lief on the ground that the Chicago and
Alton was continuing TO sell tickets at re
duced rates still. OF course, the relief
was granted and the reduced rates still
prevail by all lines. It now remains
TO be seen what course viii be taken as the
result of the Atoms refusal 10 abide by the
chairman'S order. At the time the ruling
was made the Alton announced that it
would refuse to advance rates so long as the
boycott OF the eastern roads remains in force q
This left three alternatives open to it:
One was to appeal from the chai1rnan's de
ciSiOn. another was TO Withdraw from the
association, and the third was to pay the
penalty for violation of the agreement. As
neither of the first two alternatives has
been adopted, ii seems more than probable
that the Axiom people have concluded to
pay the penalty, which is not large, and
remain in the association.

PARIS, Ten. May 1S.-Aususo Durant
and others. who came in on the Frisco
to-day. bring accounts of large-sized
tragedy occurring six miles east of Antlers,
on the Frisco road, in which Armstead
Homers and Coleman Perry were killed by
James Lowman and his son, Joe. Lowman
was in this city Saturday evening, re-
turning home on the evening train. He
carried out lot of whisky and that evening
be and his son We're drinking heavily.
Homers, who is deputy sheriff of kia-
militia county, in the Nation, heard of the
whisky, and, taking Perry as assistant,
vent TO spill it. One account says they
were disarmed, and not thinking of trouble,
and that when they stated their purpose
the two half-drunken men seized their
guns and opened fire, completely Kidding
Perry and HomerS with bullets.
Another account is there was ill-feeling
between the men, and that when Homers
and Perry went up 10 the house they acted
so as to bring on a row, and in fact fired the
first shot at young Lowman, and were shot
by the Lowmans in the first fire.
Lowman and his son were arrested by
Solomon Baptiste, sheriff of the county, and
are now under guard.

| ing Of getting legal action against the
! pasture they turned out 400 strong, headed
| by Supreme Judge Isporheecher. National
Treasurer B. Moore and other representa-
tive citizens, and cut it down.
The Indians wanted to steer clear of the
United States court, so instead of cutting
the wire they cut the posts. They said the
posts were the Indians, but they did not
know who the wire belonged TO, so the wire
was not cut
This is campaign year and the fence-cut-
ting trouble has great political significance,
and will more than likely effect the defeat
OF the present administration. There
are four parties at Muskogee and
the the Pins are the stronger: and
shows, the loyal operating mostly with
the Pins. and the Independents with the
Muskogees. The Pins are the party in
power and have almost the entire negro
vote, while the Muskogees take a majority
OF the half-breeds and intelligent full
bloods.
The two parties are very near equal in
strength but the Pins are now in power
with L. c. Perryman as chief. This fence
quarrel is mostly among his friends, and
he is condemned by them for permitting the
pasture to go up.
1sporheecher, who is one of the most in
fuentlal men in the Nation, openly avows
MS HoStLltg W SHIeI ferrylnan'S fe-elec-
ton, and it is supposed that he, with his
followers, will support the Muskogees.
Last Friday he called kind of indigna-
ton meeting which was largely political,
and about five hundred Indians responded
to his call. The sense of the meeting was
hostile to the present chief, and that death
would be the proper thing for the man that
tries to hog twenty miles square OF the pub
lie domain. The chances are now that the
Muskogees will nominate ex-Chief ]. NJ.
Perryman, cousin TO the present chief, for
chief, with probably Isporheecher 4 place
at the head of the ticket. If they do, with
the force that Isporheecher will bring over
from the Pins, their success will be as
sured. This Indian statesman, somewhat
warrior also, it was who contended
against Governor J. NJ. Perrymar several
years ago for the chieftaincy. and was
sworn in by his faction and attempted for
awhile 10 hold his position by force of
arms.
The occurrence digniied here py the
name of Isporheecher was thought the
worst effort of the trouble to advance the
price OF guns and ammunition.

afternoon he took walk about
the city. DR.. Graves. in spite
of the fact that he is resting under
cloud, has good man, friends in Denver
who do not believe him guilty During
his stay here, though he has been prac-
tically under arrest since he left Boston
week ago, he and his wife have been the
guests Of a number OF prominent
people in the city and have been
the recipients of flowers from
several people who are strangers to them.
but have sympathized with them in their
difficulties, il being intimated that other
persons besides DR.. Graves had been in
dicted. Both SalIie Handy and
Mrs. Graves are suspected It is
suspected that Mrs. Graves wrote the in
scription on the bottle, and that Sallie Handy
carried the poison to Boston. but the de-
tectives have not found sufficient evidence
TO establish that yet. Mrs. Handy. how
ever, has been indicted but Mrs Graves
has not. If she took any part in the affair
whatever, 1t was certainly with the knowl-
edge that she was aiding in wrong doing.
AT present the investigation is practically
concluded until Detective Handscom re
turns with further evidence from the East.

IT seems now that the Russian prince
who was wounded in Japan was not in
any sense a victim of conspiracy or
nihilism, but that he brought on the
assault by his impious disregard OF
japanese religious decorum. Visitors
to the sacred shrines of Buddhism in
Japan are required TO enter in bare
feet. but the naughty Muscovite re-
fused to remove his boots al the request
of the chief bone. and for this sacri-
lege he was attacked by one of the
guard. The experience Will do the
prince good if he learns from it to re-
spect the religious prejudices of those
who choose TO worship in a different
form from that observed by him.
