The morning news. [volume] (Savannah, Ga.) 1887-1900, 1891-10-08

Deneath bhe Hood OF sorrow caused by his
sudden and untimely end
Continuing, Mr.. Mccarthy said that
those who followed Mr.. Parnelrs leadership
until the last moment mad done so purely
out OF spirit of personal devotion to the
irish leader, adding: "With the removal
OF MS personality, our separation as a party
ceases. Home rule does not depend any
longer upon any one man. Mr. Parnell
himself carried it to that p int Ris work,
SO fer as it depended upon himself alone,
was done. Tne cause stands nov beyond
the reach of danger of any kind"
THE ATTENDING PHYSICIAN.
son Of DIR. William Richard Somers, the
author of many imp. rtant medical works on
diseases of the brain and Of the spinal cord,
including his Manual of Diseases of the
Nervous System" who has been attend
ing Mr.. Parnell. was the physi-
clan who watched the closing hours
Of his life. The great leaders condition
was so bad throughout Tuesday that Dr..
Somers was unable to leave his bedside
from early that morning until Mr.. Parnell
breathed his last. This evening Mrs.
Parnell is receiving a large number of
teIegraphic messages from apparently all
parts of the world, all OF them containing
words of condoleuce with her in her be-
reavement. A dispatch sent from Brighton
at $50 o'clock to-day says that Mrs. Par
nell continues in condition too prostra.e1
to be able to see any one. Her eldest
daughter is with her.
THE PHYSICIAN wON'T TALK.
The death of Mr. Parnell has not yet
been reglstered. None of the local a lthori-
ties of Brighton hes been communicated
with by the attending physician. Both the
celebrated DR.. Somers and his son refuse
to make any statement as to the cause
or hi death. or as to the progress of his
sickness, on the ground that no member Of
Mr.. Parnell's family has as yet accorded
them the permission to say anything on the
subject, and that, until they receive such
permission, the physicians will under no cir
cumstances say ANYTHING in refer
ence to Mr.. Parnei's death.
A news agency states that among
his complicated private AFFAIR." Mr.. Parnell
left unsettled the question of the custody Of
his wife's younger children. {" 1t is no
secret, }" saws the same authority, that Mr..
Parnell claimed to be the father of tae two
youngest children of Mrs. O'Shea."
JOSEPH CHAMBERLAIN's VIEWS.
Hon. Joseph Chamberlain, member of
parliament for West Birmingham, W hen
interviewed regarding Mr. Parncli's death,
said that it might influence the government
TO go to the country on present legisla-
tion, but, he added, it was mo "e likely that
the government would endeavor to
pass the Irish government bill. with fair
prospect that it could be done if the oppo-
sition would adopt the same attitude to-
ward this bill as they had done toward the
English local election measure. but it would
be, he thought, late in 1892 before the meas
ure could become law.
THOSE AT THE DEATH BED.
Mrs. -Parnell, Parnelps step-daughter and
servants, according to the latest accounts Of
the death Of Mr.. Parnell, were the only oc-
cupants of the house on Walsingham ter
race when the Irish leader expired The
end these later reports state was one of
intense agony for the sick man until tho
moment when he became unconscious and
eventually died without pain.
o'sHEA LIVING AT BRIGHTON.
Capt. O'Shea is living at Brighton, COM
ing to London daily. When he arrived to-
day he called at the office of his solicitor,
where he was shown a telegram from
Mrs. Parnell requesting that clerk
be sent OF once to Brighton.
Soon after ward another telegram, this one
unsigned, arrived, saying that Mr.. Parnell
had committed suicide. 1t appears that Mr..
and Mrs. Parnell fully intended having
religious marriage ceremony performed, but
the vicar of Steyning refused TO Off
ciate, on the ground that Mrs Parnell
was a divorced woman. The vicar, how
ever, offered to lend the use of his
church for the ceremony, if MIR. Parnell
found clergyman to ofiioiate. The bishop
of the diocese then forbade the ceremony
as the parties were already ciyilly married.
Finally through Mr. Parnell's perseverance,.
it was arranged that Rev. Mr.. Penfold of
ST. James, Marylebone, should
ofiiciate and Mr. Parnell in-
tended to seek a license when the
Bishop Of Chichester, who was on the coati-
nent, returned. it was requested thet'the
marriage should take place at O'Clock
a. m. and should not be divulged until after
the ceremony. Mrs. Parnellrequests that al
emphatic denial be givea to rumors that her
husband committed suicide. She states
that he had long suffered from rheumatism,
which developed into the fever that killed
him.
A VIEW OF THE CORPSE.
in au interview this evening James
Okelly, a member of parliament for
North Roscommon, said that he had called
upon Mrs. Parnel Tonight and that she
had admitted him in to see the body
of Mr.. Parnel. Mr.. O'kelly declared that
from the peaceful expression Of the face Of
his late friend and leader il was difficult to
believe that be was really dead. He could
not state what was the cause OF death, as he
had not seen either of the physicians
who had attended Mr.. PGraell in his
last Illness The aspect of the
corpse, however, suggested that death bad
resulted from natural causes, and had
come without any violent pain.
THE PARIS FUND.
The members of the McCarthyite party
anticipate no difficulty in obtaining early
control of the Paris fund. No matter
what testamentary disposition has been
made of the money, they say.
it will not affect the power of Mr..
McCar.hy in the matter. As far as known
Mr.. ParneIl did not leave will or political
declaration. He had no perception OF the
gravity of his illness or any CONSCIOUSNESS
of the approach Of death.
CONGESTION OF THE LUNGS.
BRIGHroN, ENGLAND. Oct. s, 1910 A. NJ.
Mr.. Parnsll, 1t is now stated, suffered
from congestion Of the lungs be-
sides acute rheumatism. he be-
came unconscious at o'clock last
evening. His physicians. who had gone FOR
the evening, we're Tesummoned to bis bed
side. They found him an hour later
in an obviously hopeless condition From
o'clock his wife, Miss O'Shea and the doc
tors closely watched him and did all possible
TO prolonR his life. He finally passed away
before his wife had realized that he was
dead. She had borne up nobly until the
last, and then, when all was over, broke
down utterly.
On the receipt of the news of the death OF
Parnell at Belfast a placard with deep
mourning borders was posted tnrouKbout
the city. This was headed, "MurderedF'
and underneath we're the words, =" Is it truef
