had been we'll known that Mr.. Parnell
has not enjoyed the best Of health for
years past, and it has been noticed and
widely commented upon, that since the
O'Shea divorce developments became q
public notoriety, and since political
trouble came upon him, that the great
Irish member of Parliament had grown
thinner, and that he had perceptibly
aged in appearance. But nobody ex-
pected to hear Of his death, and no ink
ling as to his illness had reached the
newspapers.
Mr.. Parnell died at his home, Walls
ingham Terrace, Brighton, at II 80 last
evening. His death is said to have
been indirectly due to chill which he
caught last week, and which at first was
not regarded rs being of a serious ma
ture. He grew worse, however, and a
physician was called in with the result
that the patient was ordered to take
to his bed. This was on Fri
day last, and from that time Mr..
Parnell lost strength and finally
succumbed. The exact nature of the
disease which caused the death of the
Irish leader is not made known at pres

bands at the instant crashed forth the
''Star-Spangled Banner" troops upon

semblage in the background, almost as
far as the eye could reach, burst into
cheer, geverbelating like the surf in
storm, while out on Lake Michigan,
through tangle Of masts and flags and
shrieking whistles, thundered the deaf

the virtual ruler OF his country, eXtraor-
dinary means were adopted for the re-
lief of Irish distress, in which both En-
gland and the United States took a con-
splcuous part. In January, 1880, Mr..
Parnell visited the United States and
created feeling which crystaIized itself
in the formation Of Irish league associ-
ations, which have proved the main
financial support of the home organiZa-
ton. Later he was chosen president of
the home rule party in place of Mr..
Shaw. He continuedin Parliament to
the time of his death.
Parnell's loss of position and influ-
ence was due to the O'Shea scandal, as
it was known, and the leaders love and
criminal relations with the wife of his
friend, Capt.O'Shea. After the divorce
secured by O'Shea, in which proceed
ing Parneil was made correspondent
Parnell married Mrs. O'Shea. Before
her marriage TO Capt. O'Shea, Mrs.
O'Shea was Katharine Wood, daughter
of the late Sir Page Wood, baronet, Of
Rivenhall Place, in Essex, England
She is sister Of Gen. Sir EVELYN Wood.
and granddaughter of Sir Matthew
Wood, who was twice lord mayor of
London, and won immense popularity
in his day by his staunch championship

George ". When Miss Wood met
O'Shea she was one of the reigning
bellies of Dublin, and he was the pos
SCISSOR of a vary comfortable fortune,
which he has since dissi pated. A year
ago she inherited a fortune in her own
right amounting to nearly 100000.
The marriage of kittie O'Shea to Mr.
Parnell occurred on the morning of
June 2o, last. While it was generally
understood that Parnell would make the
divorced woman his wife, the marriage
caused sensation fIom the fact that
both Farnell and Mrs. O'Shea observed
the utmost secrecy in connection with
the affair, both before and after the GER
emony.
During Mr.. Pa1nell's sickness, which
was pronounced to be an attack OF
acute rheumatism, every attention
and care was paid 10 him by
his wife, who hardly left his bedside
from the moment her husbands illness
was pronounced to be of serious ma
ture. Several hours before his death
Mr.. Parnell became unconscious and
So remained until he died, in intense
agony. Owing to the suddenness
OF his illness and 10 the belief
of his wife and of the attend
ing physicians that he would recover,
no friends or relations Of his family or
of that of Mrs. Parne!l were present at
Mr.. Parnell's bedside. Mrs. Parnell
and the physicians were alone in at
tendance upon him when he died.

JOHN H0EY IN DISGRACE.
Removed from the Presidency of the
Adams Express.

Removed from the Presidency of the
Adams Express.
New YORK, Oct. I3.-John lTocv,
president of the Adams Express Com
pany, has been deprived of his position
rs president and trustee by the unani-
nous vote of the full board of managers
Mr.. Hoey was charged with NAL
feasance in office. Clapp Spooner, vice
president Of the company, rendered his
resignation Immediately after the Board
voted for the expulsion of the presi-
dent, and the resignation was accepted. .
Mr.. Hoey had salary of $50 ,OO0 year.
Hoey began as messenger and parcel
carrier, and was up to to-day not only
the leading man in the express business
OF the country, but a general favorite
i'll club and society circles. He is
the occupant and owner of Holly
wood, the palatial summer home
near Long Branch. He sue
ceeded William B. Dinsmore as
president of the company. The trou-
BILE which overlook him yesterday was
foreshadowed last spring in a suit
brought by Henry b. Sherberne against
him. Capt. Spooner and Edward A.
Taft were code PENDANTS The action
was brought to recover sum of
money approximatng a half million
dollars. Mr.. Hoey then admitted
under oath that he had been a
party to transaction by which
syndicate of three men sold prop
erty which had cost them Sl3O, GOO to
William B. Dinsmore. then the presi-
dent of the Adams Express Company.
For this Sl3O.00O worth they received
from Dinsmore, and Dinsmore after
ward received from the Adams EX-
press Company, the sum of $4,000
For this property Mr.. Hoey had
not paid cent, but he accepted one
quarter of the profit they made, which
profit amounted to $120,000. His quar-
ter was between $4,000 and SlsO,0J0
The suit was appealed. The plaintiff
and defendants were interested in the
New York * Boston Dispatch Com
panv. 1t was this suit which partly led
to the investigation of Mr.. Hoey's Of
fetal action.
The charges would have been pre-
ferred long ago had it not been for Mr..
IIOey's absence in Europe. As the
harm had been done and could not be
extended, they thought it quite as well
to let the matter rest until his return.
1t was during Mr. Hoey's absence in
Europe that an investigation was made,
which resulted in the action taken.
The directors and officials of that in
stitution are very retlCent III Civ
ing out information concerning Mr..
lioey's removal. A meeting of the
directors was held to-day at noon to
consider the situation, but on adjourn
ment they refused to talk regarding 1t.
The officials and employees are very un-
easy, and do not know to what extent
the change will affect them. Neither
ex-President Hoey nor Vice President
Spooner put in an appearance to-day.
Ii is reported that a new president
and vice president will be elected to-
dav William DInsmore and Henry
Sanford are spoken of as the probable
successors to the office.
Mr.. Sanford, of Bridgeport, Conn,
was this afternoon appointed president

to enter. A scene of great confusion
ensued. The procession for time
was checked and thrown into dIsarrav
1t was decided to close the lower gate,
and this was effected amid great dis
order, Just as the hearse reached
the spot. The hearse was then taken to
the upper gates. Here the coffin was
removed land placed on platform speci-
ally constructed FOR the purpose, in or
der to enable those in the procession to
file around and have full view of the
bier. At 6 o'clock the fast falling dusk
found the procession still filing past.
There seemed no likelihood that the
stream of marchers would end till
far into the depth of the night. So
orders were given TO remove the coffin
to the side OF the grave. A body of the
Clan-na-Gpel succeeded in clearing d
way to the grave, and formed circle
within which were grouped the lord
mayor of Dublin, the civic dignitarics,
Mr.. Parnell's colleagues in Parliament,
and the relatives. The crush around
about was terrible. Darkness had set
cries of children, and the cries of men
struggling amid the crush made inaudi-
ble the voices of the clergy recitinc the
ritual of the Church of England
At the grave the Rev. Mr. Vincent, OF
the Rotunda Chapel, and the Rev.
George Fry, of Manchester, otliciated.
They were obliged 10 cut the service
short, as the crowd broke INTO the pro-
tecting circle and overwhelmed the
inner group. Some time after, in
the dead darkness, when the
crowd had thinned away, the more
intimate friends again grouped them
selves around the grave, deposited
wreaths thereon, and took the last view
of the coffin. The grave became heaped
up with the masses Of floral tributes.

REVOLUTION OVERTHROWN.
The Uprising in Uruguay Put Down and
the Leaders InGer Arrest.


MoSTEvIDEo, Oct 13.-The revolution
lists who on Sunday evening attempted
to create a serious disturbance here
have failed in their designs. The riot
ers were members OF revolu-
tlonary club who expected to be
able to Stubborn the artillery corps
of the garrison and to take
possession of the city. The conspirators
fired upon the loval troops, and ex-
pected that at this signal the artillery
would join forces with them. In this
they were disappointed. The artillery
men remained true to their colors and
the conspiracy failed. The leaders of
the revolutionary movement are now
confined in prison, and it is expected
that they will be su !marily dealt
with. In the exchange of vol
leys which took place between
the revolutionists and the loyal troops.
six men were killed and seven were
wounded. fitty-two persons, including
the ringleaders of the conspiracy, are
held in custody. The uprising has been
eftectually quelled, and to-day quiet
prevails throughout Uruguay.
