Death is said to have been indirectly
due to a icbiIl caught last week,
which at first was not regarded az
serious. Parnell, however, grew
worse, and a physician was called

was ordered taken to bed, This was

cumbed. The exact nature of the

Parnell, who Is utterly prostrated by
the shock.
In this city particularly, the news

Creggs. Ireland, Sept. q, when he
delivered a long speech upon the
attitude and alleged Inconsistencies
Of Dillon and O'Brien. Upon that
occasion Parnell stated he was
speaking in defiance Of the or
ders Of his doctors. Coupled
with the announcement that Par

tested the North Kilkenny election
backed by PArnelPs opponents and
defeated the Parnelllte's candidate,
Vincent Scully 1l47 votes. This
was possibly the greatest test OF
strength between Parnellites and
McCarthyites, and the defeat of
SculIy no doubt counted for great
deal in the future series Of disasters
which befell the Irish leader.
