IN THE FAMILY.
ParneII Said to Have Married Mrs.
O'Shea's Eldest Daughter.

LONDON, April THE lady to whom Mr..
Parnell is said to have been privately mar
ried since the O'Shea divorce is the eldest
daughter of Mrs. O'Shea. The extreme pri-
vacy with which the ceremony was per-
formed is attributed to the fact that the
young lady is ward in chancery. Although
she is 2l years of age the marriage could not
be lawfully s0lemnized without the assent Of
the courts. By his action Mr.. Parnell lays
himself open to prosecution. Several Par
nellite members Of the House of Commons
affect to believe, although they deny any
knowledge of the facts, that Mr.. Parnell
never had unlawful relations with Mrs.
O'Shea and that his secret visits to the home
of the O'Sheas were made for the purpose Of
meeting the daughter, whom he married
with the consent of her mother. but un-
known to her father. Other Parnellites,
who are supposed to know the truth of the
matter, when questioned in regard to the
marriage, declared their ignorance OF the
whole affair. Captain O'Shea's friends treat
the story as stupid canard.

PERHAPS THE REPUBLICAN IS ON TOP
After Scramble OF the LIveliest
Kind In the Windy City.
Five Candidates and a Marriage
Figured In the Contest.
Michigan Republican With About
Five Thousand to Spare.

CHICAGO. April To-day, In the most ex-
citing scramble Of an election ever wit
messed in Chicago, the Republican leader
Hempsted Washburne, came out on top of
the heap. He is the first Republican, save
one. elected mayor of Chicago in fifteen
years. The Democrats had split in their
ranks to contend with in the Independent
candidacy of ex-Mayor Harrison. but the
Republicans also were weakened by "citi-
zens' movement" headed by Elmer Wash
burne, ex-chief Of the United States secret
service. Both Carter Harrison and Elmer
Washburne, particularly the former, polIed
a vote that was amazing to straight party
politicians. sHarrison Is said to
have had the secret support of
a large humber of wealthy men of
the city who are backing the worlds
fair. His old time strength with the
foreign speaking population, especially
the Germans and Bohemians; returned
heavily. to him also. Elmer Washburn's
vote, while surprise to the machine polite
ians, was something Of a disappointment to
his friends, being confined more closely than
was expected to the membership OF Amer
lean societies. The turning point In the con-
test was to considerable extent the Irish
American vote and this was exerted in a de-
cidedly singular manner. Hampstead Wash
burns wife is the daughter of the president
OF the Hibernian Bank of Chicago and large
numbers of Irish-Americans, wearying of
the fight between the two Democratic lead
ers, and believing that Hemstead Washburn
was being antagonized by certain elements
solely on account Of his wife. rallied
113O were that, aside from Hampstead
Washburn the other successful candidates
were about evenly divided between the DEM
ocrats and Republicans. The socialist, Nor
gan's vote, was Unexpectedly small. about
one-eighth of the number of socialists popu-
larly supposed to be in the city. The figures
for the mayoralty candidates with 433 pre-
clncts out Of 513 were as follows: FL. Wash
bourne. 40.002; Cregier, 37,040; Harrison.
34,816; E. Washburn, 19,771; Morgan, 1896
The day was marked by a number of bloody
affrays eliminating in several tradgedies.
CHICAGO, April Sat a. m. Comptroller
Onahan gave the following figures just COM
pleted to a representative Of the Associated
Press: Five huddred and six precincts with
only seven to hear from give Cregier 45,62S;
Hempsted Washb0urne, 1862; Harrison,

LOOK OUT FOR IT.
A Dangerous Counterfeit OF the Two
Dollar silver Certificates,

WASHINGTON, April IA dangerous
counterfeit of the So silver certificates Is
causing considerable trouble at the treasury
department. Not more than twenty Of these
counterfeits have come into the hands of
treasury officials. The extent of their circu-
lation, however, is not known, as they bear
so close resemblance to the genuine note
that they cannot be readily detected except
by experts. The issue Of the regular series
of two dollar silver certificates has been sus-
pended, and arrangements are being made
for the issue of substitute. The original
bears portrait Of General Hancock. The
substitute will have that of Secretary Win
dom. While the old series has not been called
In, none of the notes Of that series, coming
into the treasury will be reissued. The de-
paTtment Is also considering the advisability
OF discontinuing the use of the distinctive
paper on which government notes and secur-
tiles are now printed. A commission has
been appointed to investigate the manufac-
ture and use Of this paper and to report
whether the interests of the government re-
quire any additional safeguards in that re-
spect.
