The remains Of the late Charles Stuart
Parnell reached Dublin on October Il.
On the same afternoon the funeral
took place at Glasnevin cemetery, after
lying in state for some hours IL the
Council Chamber Of the City Hall in
Dublin. 1t is estimated that fully 200
600 persons were present, notwithstand-
ing a violent rainstorm. The hearse was
drawn by SIX black horses and was fol-
lowed by representatives Of the principal
Irish towns, trade societies, private car
rlages and citizens on foot. As the coffin
passed, almost hidden in flowers, every
head in the vast assemblage was IN
covered. 1t was quite dark before the
crowds began 10 disappear. The ser
vices OF the Church Of England we're re-
cited, but the voices Of the clergy could
scarcely be heard and the ritual had 10
be cut short as the crowds broke through
the circle 0! police and overwhelmed the
inner group.
The hope that the death OF Parnell
would put an end to the disagreements
between the various Irish parties seems
to be realized. Both sides have
put forth warlike manifestoes, the lead
ing Parnellites put beyond doubt their
to maintain the conflict
with the followers OF Justin Mccarthy.
A life OF Pdrnen byT. P. O'Connor has
been published; it is q book Of 223 pages
and states that Parnell was born not at
Avondale, as generally supposed, but at
Brighton.
