HE is CALLED UPON BY PARNELL-
TIES TO BE THEIR LEADER.

The Corporation OF Dublin to Attend the
Funeral Attired in Their Robes of State
The Dead Chieftain's Followers Are
Still Very Bitter.
DUBLIN, Oct. Sat meeting to-day of
the Corporation of the City of Dublin, reso-
lutions of regret at the death of Mr.. Parnell
were passed, and the Lord Mayor and men,
bers Of the Corporation were empowered to
attend the funeral in their robes of state.
At meeting of the members of the Par
nellite party of West Clare q resolution
calling for John Redmond, NJ. P. for North
Wexford, to assume the leadership of the
party was passed. Resolutions of deep re-
gret at the death of Mr. Parnell were also
unanimously adopted.
Most of the stores throughout the leading
towns of ireland are closed to-day out of re-
spect for the memory of the dead leader.
Harrington, NJ. ?. Tor Dublin Harbor, and
other prominent members of the Parnellite
party, in reply to numerous solicitations for

the event: ''This day he lies dead in the

She Flies From Her Husband and Her Lux
urious Home to Poverty.
SAN FRANCISCO, Oct S.-[Special. -Four
weeks since Mrs. Joseph Maillard caused, a
sensation in San Geronimo, Marin county,
by disappearing from her home. At first it
was thought that she had suffered foul play,
but soon it was learned that she had eloped

Maillard ranch. She is row living with her
paramour in small numbering town in
Humboldt county, and her husband has
brought suit for divorce. The woman who

HOTELS CROWDED TO THE DOORS.
Guests Turned Away From All of Them
Unusual Rush of Visitors.


Unusual Rush of Visitors.
Hotel business doomed Yesterday Full
houses were the rule early in the evening,
and many old customers had to be turned
away from their favorite resting place. The
cause was two-fold; an unusual influx of
Exposition visitors and the setting in of
fall weather.
1t looked yesterday as if half of Western
Pennsylvania and slice of Ohio had sud-
denly agreed to swoop down on Pittsburg
and take in the Point show and the city
sights. Country people were visible all
around; often times they showed it. One
party of go school girls came in from Ohio
and distributed itself among several hotels.
They were mostly disposed of four in bed.
Commercial tourists were in town in
force. Many of them should have been
miles from this, but the recent hot weather
prevented storekeepers from looking at any
goods for the time. These hustlers have
now returned and are making up for lost
time Every hotel was crowded last night.
The corridor of the Seventh Avenue held
154 people by actual count at 8 o'clock. The
Anderson had turned away IS people at
o'clock, and every now and again some dis
appointed guest came in, dropped his
grip only to take it up again and try else

ITS FIRST FATALITY.

Company Kills Boy.

The Pittsburg, Allegheny and Manchester
Company Kills Boy.
The first fatal accident on the Manchester
Electric line occurred yesterday. About
4:15 o clock Parker Trent, aged years, was
riding on the rear of wagon on Beaver
avenue. At the corner of Bayardstreet he
jumped off and fell to the ground. Car Is,
of the Pittsburg, Allegheny and Manches-
ter line, was approaching, and be-
fore the motorman could check the
vehicle it passed over the child,
killing him instantly The body
was removed to his parents residence,
No. 332 Beaver avenue The motorman,
R. H. Means, called at the Allegheny Cen
tral station and gave himself up. He was
released on 81, 900 bail: The Coroner was
notified, and after hearing the facts set the
inquest for II o'clock to-day
In connection with the accident might be
mentioned that there is a fender now in use
by some of the lines which has proven to
be of service. Only few days ago an old
gentleman was struck by car having one
of these appliances attached, which picked
him up and carried him nearly 100 feet be-
fore the car was stopped. If the car had
not been supplied with such fender there
would have been another death recorded
against the line.

car was very low, however and that may
account for the phenomenon.
Lovers like twilight. If Adam and Eve
did not sing SIN the Cleaning" it was be
cause they knew fresher song. And it
was twilight in that car, for all three
double lamps were turned down very low,
and, before the train was out of the Allie
ghany yards, the flame in one of them had
sputtered, fired a moment and expired.
OF course, every girl in the car was alarmed
when the gloom deepened. Every girl got
little closer to her protector, and few
minutes later, when the second began to
show signs of collapse-the flame leaping
up frantically, as if afraid to die-about a
dozen pianissimo screams came from as
many feminine throats
The conductor opened the door few
minutes later and the draught finished

alight at the rear end of the car. How

The conscientious historian is always an
iconoclast. Whenever he gets chance he
topples over a popular idol by proving that
William Tell never existed or that King
Arthur was myth. His latest feat is in
connection with that famous French battle
hymn, "The Marsellaise." 1t is asserted
that Rouget de lIsle did not write the mu-
sic at all. The researches of musical
scholars within the last quarter of cent
ury prove beyond a reasonable doubt that
the melody was copied by him from the
works of a modest old chapel master who
lived at st. Omer, in the department of
Calais, and who, having control of the
music of the cathedral, wrote hymns and
anthems during the years of his Office,
which began in 1775 and ended in 1887.
When he retired his MSS. were deposited
in the archives of the town, where they
have since remained.
The Ms. of an oratorio has lately been
brought forth, and the air of 1.-The Mar
seillais =" to which Rouget de plsle set his
words, discovered in the composers auto
graph. There is something even more re-
marks Die. AS Rouget wrote it the battle
hymn had certain passages which he be-
leved properly accorded with martial
music, but more skillful composers in their
subsequent arrangement have changed or
omitted these, and in so doing have left
the composition exactly as it appears in
the old chapel masters autograph score.
