O'Shea divorce Developments became a
matter of public noteriety and since
political trouble came upon him, that
the great Irish member of parliament
had grown thinner and that he had per-
ceptibly aged in appearance. But no.
body expected to hear Of his death and
no lnkling as to his ILLNESS had reached
the newspapers.
AT this hour Il p. IN. it has been i'm
possible to obtain details in regard to
the death of Me. Parnell. he died at
his home, Walsingbam Terrace, Bright
on, at 1880 Yesterday evening. His
death is said to have been indirectly due
to chill which he caught last week
and which at first was not regarded as
being of serious nature. Mr.. Par
nell, however, grew worse and 9 ply.
sician was called in, with the result
that the patient was ordered to take to
his bed. This was on Friday last, and
from that time Mr.. Parnen lost
strength and finally succumbed. The
exact nature OF the disease which
caused the death Of the Irish leader is
not made known at present. From the
day he took to his bed, however, the
state of Mr.. Parnell's health has been
sucn as to necessitate the constant at
tendance Of two physicians. but in spite
u sof their incessant and untiring efforts
4 to prolong or to save his life, Mr.. Par
nell sank lower and lower until he ex-

PARNELL's COMPACT WITH DAVrTT.
The career Of Charles Stewart Par
nell has been singularly different from
that Of Davitt. Born to ownership Of
a fine estate, educated as English gen
tlemen are educated, aristocTatic, cold
and impossible, Protestan he was
the last man one would have. expected

Gaoroia's DISGRACE.

The refusal of the Georgia Legislature
TO accept the Confederate Soldiers Home
of the State, which was recently rendered
by the trustees, has caused waye of in
digpation throughout the South
The proposition to the Legislature of
Georgia. upon which it was TO accept the
Confederate Home was, that the State
should take the completed building, main
tair it so long as there was Confederate
soldier to occupy il, after which 1t would
revert to the State, in fee simple. In
thirty years at most the property would
have gone to the State.
Among other papers the Richmond
State calls upon the people of Georgia to
rebuke their representatives for their &C
ton. Many OF the members of the Legis-
lature who voted against the acceptance
of the Home we're formerly Confederate
soldiers and it is difficult TO understand
why they voted against accepting the
Home unless it was through false idea
of economy and reform.
The charge that it was scheme of the
Georgia Alliance who control the Legs
lature of that State. is on the face of it
absurd, as the Kansas Alliance could have
no possible reason for interfering in a
Georgia matter of this kind.
Even the Washington Post condemns
the action Of the Georgia majority aud
the better class of northern papers do
likewise. 1t is the duty of the States to
care for the disabled veterans and It is a
duty which cannot be sbirked without
dishonor.

A Trains Awful Lean.

TWENTY PERSONS KILLED OUTRIGHT.
CHARLOTTE, n. c., Aug. %. One of the
most disastrous railroad wrecks ever
known in North Carolina occurred this
morning about 2 o'clock at BOstOn's bridge,
two miles west of StatesvIlle, on the
Western North Carolina Railroad. The
train was filled with people, many of
them Tenuesseeans. returning home from
summer resorts on the coast, The Ashe-
vile fire company, returning from con-
ventiOn at Durh am, was on board.
Twenty passengers were killed outright,
one died after being taken from the
wreck, nine were seriously injured, and
about twenty suffered bruises.
The train, which is known as the fast
mail, is made up at Salisbury and pulled
out on time at a. M, loaded with pass.
engers. 1t was composed of baggage and
mail car. second and first-class coaches,
Pullman sleeper and superintendent
Bridges's private car Daisy.
The run to Ststesville, distance of %
miles, was made OH time, but just after
leaving that town there Is high stone
bridge spanning Third creek. Down into
this creek plunged the entire train, a dis
lance of at least 65 feet, wrecking the
cars and producing death and destruction.
The night was dismal, and to add to tie
horror of the situation the water in the
creek was up. 1t was only through the
most heroic efforts of those who had hurried
to the scene that the injured were not
drowned.
The accident was caused by the spread
ing of the rails. The bridge was not in
jured and trains are running on schedule
time. The twenty dead bodies were
placed in a warehouse at Statesyille. The
injured had the best OF care at private
residences and hotels.

Mills and the Speakership

There is no member Of Congress on the
Democratic side so conspi;uOus in bis adj
vocacy of free trade as Mr.. Mills of Texas.
He Is thereby the logical candidate of his
party for the Speakership, if it has the
courage of its convictions. Mr.. Mills is
in New York comforting with Democrats
in the effort to secure support from the
members of Congress from this State.
His vote when the caucus meets will be
the measure of Democratic sincerity in
opposition to protection as a governmental
policy. The Press would like 10 see him
in the Speakers chair to emphasize the
protection issue in 1892, but we doubt
very much it he will secure the prize
The Democrats are too much afraid oil
exposing their hand to put him where
he rightly belongs.-NeC York Press.

The Danger Signal.

When nature raises the flag of distress
in the shape OF sores, ulcers, pimples and
blotches, the signal should be promptly
needed. As cities threatened with DIS
ease are disinfected, so should the human
system be treated. No more powerful OF
more successful disinfectant and pur fer
than S. $. 5. has ever been discovered -
1t has accomplished wonderful results,
and there are thousands OF people IN this
