PARNELLIsM DEAD.
mcCarthy's Candidate Elected to the
Dead Leaders Seat In Parliament.

otaa a<raoch SUM- ~
Cork, Nov. 6.-The election to settle the
question of the succession to the seat in
the house of commons from the city of
Cork made vacant by the death of Charles
Stewart Parnell came off to-day, and at the
close of the polling Mr.. Martin Flavin. the
McCarthyite candidate, was credited with
the victory his supporters claiming for
him majority of loo, while the Parnell-
ties, in dispute of this, claimed the cleo
mon, by 100 majority. Mr.. Redmond had
resigned his seat for North Wexford to
make this fight for Parnells place.
The poll boxes were escorted from the
outlying districts by troops and police. The
counting of the ballots will commence in
the morning.
The polling was heavy. Even the lame
and the blind were sought out and brought
up to the polling places.
IL has been noticeable that in the many
alterations between the priests and the
Parnellites the women in most cases sided
with the priests. Mr.. William O'Brien re-
ceived an ovation from the women, who
presented him with flowers. and even di-
vested themselves of their shawls for him
to walk upon.
The streets We're fill ed with noisy people,
but good order was preserved as rule dur
ing the day. Police guards in strong force
were in close proximity to the polling
booths all day, and strong reserves were
kept at the station houses.
The days work was opened with vigor,
1900 votes being cast In the first hour.
Priests, mem ers of Parliament and can
didates for political honors were inces-
sanity driving from booth to booth en-
oouraging their followers and looking after
the interests Of their respective factions.
CORK, Nov. 7.-Martin Flavin, the Nc
Carthyite candidate for the seat in parlia
ment for Cork city, left vacant by the
death of Parnell, has been elected by a
plurality of l,5i2 votes over the Parnellite
candidate. Mr.. John Redmond. The re-
suit of the count is as follows Flavin,
McCarthyite, 1869; Redmond, Parnellite,
2,157; Sarsiield, Unlonist, 1,16l. AT the
last election for Cork city Mr.. Parnell was
elected with Mr. Ilealy, who also repre-

FIGHTING A ma coal FIRE.
An Immense Stack of Coal In % Blaxe-
Thousands of Dollars Loss.

DULUTH, MrSN, Nov. 9.-The great coal
pile on the Northwestern Fuel Company's
lands is still on fire, although water has
been pouring into the burning mass at the
rate of !, 800 gallons minute since last
Friday. Some 20 men are wheeling away
the coal from the pile, but the firemen
cannot reach the hottest portion of the
blaze.
The fuel company has asked the Mime
apolis fire department for help. If the air
reaches the smouldering fire the whole
mass, containing thousands of tons of
coal is likely to be destroyed. Some OF
the largest elevations lie near the coal docks
but it il is believed that they can be saved.
The Duluth fire department is working in
relays of six hours each. Nothing further
is known of the cause than that it is be-
licvcd to be spontaneous combustion.
The full extent of the loss is not known
but ii will doubtless reach into the hun
dreds of thousands of dollars. Engine
No. 3 and 1900 feet of hose in charge of
eight firemen were sent from Minneapolis
this morning to relieve the oyerworked
tiremen here: They will probably be re-
quired week.

FoRAKER's FIGHT.
He rs Apparently Leading Sherman in
the Race for the Ohio Senatorsllip.


COLUMBUS, o., Nov. S.-The Cincinnati
Enquirer to-day contains telegraphic inter
views with number of members-elect OF
the new Republican legislature which will
In January elect a United States senator
to succeed John Sherman. Including
Hamilton county and not counting Cuya-
hoga. as no members were talked to in
Cleveland, the roll stands as follows:
Foraker, 20; Sherman, ID; reported for
Foraker, g. reported for Sherman, 8; de-
clined to talk, 10; undecided, 4.
Other counties are yet to be heard from,
but this is fair index of the feeling in
Ohio and the probable result. One of the
senators elect, John Balm, of the Thir-
teenth district, was found on his farm near
Marion feeding sheep. He said that he
was in favor of unseating Calvin S. Brice
ald choosing both Sherman and Foraker.
Senator Hildebrandt of Ashland re-
marked: 1.-THE convention at which was
nominated Endorsed Senator Sherman and
pledged the support of this, my own dis
trict, to him for reelection for United
States Senator ! shall be guided by the
wishes of my party in this regard, but
am for ousting Brice and electing both
Sherman and Foraker"
There is as much excitement here among
politicians over the election of Senator as
there was week ago over the election of
governor. 1t was claimed prior to the cleo
ton that the Farmers Alliance men would
oppose Sherman in the legislature, but
none of that party's candidates have sue
ceeded in breaking into the general as
sembly.

CHICAGO, Nov. 9.-Ths city has another
railroad mystery that may turn out to be
murder. The body of d man has been
found on the Chicago & Northwestern
tracks at Lathrop, nine miles west of this
city. 1t was at first thought that the man
had been struck by train and killed, but
the police became suspicious on account of
body, which they thought resembled
knife wounds. 1t has been learned that
the mans name is Anthony Klein and
that he was one of four or five, who, while
under the influence of liquor, made
trouble for the Chicago &; Northwestern
telegraph operator at haywood avenue
station and were elected from the depot
by him. The mans companions are not

AYERTED A PANIC.
The Timely Action of Berlin Bankers
Prevents a Financial Crash - Banks
Omen on SUNDAY.

Prevents Financial Crash - Banks
Open on Sunday.
BERLIN, Nov. 8.-Business on the botn.
yesterday was notable for numerous large
forced sales, beginning early in the day
and increasing toward the close on the
collapse of the Sommerfeld Bank and
rumors that other failures were imminent,
and that several boursiers had been hit in
connection with Sommerfeld's extensive
speculations in Russian securities.
The Boersen Courier states that the liza
bilities of Sommerfeld amount toseveral
million marks and that the assets are
small. All branches and exchange bureaus
of the bank are closed. A general panic
among general deposit banks appears to be
inevitable. Last evening a number of
managers of Berlin banks convened and
agreed to concerted measures to meet and
check panic.
PAYING OUT CASH ON SUNDAY.
They dispatched letters and kilograms to
customers throughout Germany stating
their readiness to pay deposits at any time,
and that their banks would be open to-day
TO meet Withdrawals.
The banks thus acting in common
opened to-day and had clerks attending to
applications for cash. Some accounts
were closed by scared depositors. To-
morrow's developments are less anxiously
awaited.
at Frankfort the bourse was kept open
to-day-a course calculated to furnish
some test OF the situation. Hence it is rea-
soned that to-morrow's business here will
not attain panic proportions.
LONDON IN GOOD SHAPE TO HELP BERLIN AND
PARIS.
LONDON, Nov. s.-The banking troubles
in Berlin and the difficulties OF French
iinanciers may lead to withdrawal of
bullion, otherwise the momentary position
here is strong enough to meet ordinary
currency demands for the rest of the year.
Business will be retarded tomorrow by
the lord mayors fete.
The Berlin embarrassment the Brazil
ian troubles and the reports of French
houses requiring government intervention
to prevent collapse likely to lead to a
panic, all combine to create great uneasi-
ness. Rumors yesterday assailed the posi-
ton of certain financial houses here, al
ways mentioned unfavorably during a
time OF uncertainty, but again without
truth.
DEFALoATroNs IN PARIS.
PARIS, Nov. s.-Although the past week s
settlement disclosed no failures among
bourse agents or coulissiers, their operating
clients in several instances defaulted and
the final difference paid on settlement
| necessitated large bank advances, the bank
of France alone lending 20,000,0 900 francs
| on securities.
Baron Rothchld's interview with
| Forein Minister Ribot and Finance Min
lister Rouvier, it was sem-oflicially stated,
| was merely for the purpose of denying in
situations that the banking firm was
working against the Russian loan.

"thank you" to u.s. than TO let the lawyers
wrangle over it after we are dead. Dab
moralizing?" laughs some editor. Well,
she does once in while, though not more
than other people; she sees the disagreeable
side of life, but she sees the good as well,
and you might just as well, through her,
hear of some good people.
AN ENGLISH BRIDE IN PHILADELPHIA.
By the by, will tell you funny story.
When the English cricket team came here,
you will remember, they had charming
little bride with them, the only lady of the
party, Mrs. Key. New York painted itself
a brilliant cermine in honor of its English
visitors upon their arrival, and then they
went over to Philadelphia. There was
supposed to be committee of reception
and the dainty little bride was approached
one evening, at the hotel by two elderly
women who had been delegated to make it
pleasant for Mrs. Key. The only remarks
they made to this most charming of Eng
lish women lit was just at that time when
we all felt as il we were living in Hades)
were these: One of the women cleverly in
quired: DO you enjoy our warm
weather." Now, fancy an English woman
enjoying our warm weather Why, we
to enjoy It. The little bride remarked
with some sadness "Well, it is little
different from ours" Then the other
member of the committee sailed in, and
made her inquiry: Have you been to
Wanamaker's2n she asked. And the Eng
lish woman, not knowing whether Wanna
makers was q circus, or private gentle
man, or two-headed nightingale. said i:
II don't know Mr.. Wanamaker. | have
not been to any place in Philadelphia yet. y
! only came last evening. We can talk all
we want about American hospitality, bnt
isn't this asking the English to waste
themselves?
SOME THINGS THAT ARE WASTED.
BY the way, there is good deal of vast
ing done in this world, 1t is wasting a
good women to marry her to worthless
man.
1t is wasting pretty baby to give il to
an unappreciatiye family.
1t is wasting good actor to surround
him with y bad company.
1t is wasting pretty women not to give
her pretty clothes.
| 1t is wasting a terrapin to cook it badly.
1t Is wasting time to try to teach poll
| tician to be honest.
1t is wasting money not to spend it on
| women.
1t is wasting flowers not to give them to
them.
1t is wasting love- kisses and all the good
things of life not TO take them in your hands
if you are a man, and give them to some
women. The Lord intended it to be that
way. He made Adam first that he might
get things ready for Eve so that she should
have no trouble. But, dear me, / am in
clined to think that the Adams have de
generated and that they are willing to lei
Eve do her share, and woman's share II
always two-thirds of the whole. Dom
yon think so? Oh, yes, you do. Be oblig
ing and agree with BAB.

The New York Nal and Express gets
off the following: Two learned shoe
makers had stores across the street from
each other. One of them heard that
Lord Flowers motto was "Mens Con-
scia Recti," and, thinking that it was
new brand of shoes, Immediately put
his sign in the Window
MEMS CoNseIA RECTI,
hoping that Flower would get his foot
into it. The other shoemaker, seeing
the point, Immediately put in his win
dow:
MEMS AND woMEN's coNscIA REcTI,
and, with a mind conscious of recti-
tude, he felt that he had far outdone the
store across the street by announcing
his shoes assortment larger than his
comnetitor's.
