LAST HOPE GONE.

Parnell Can Never Again Lead the Irish
Party-The Desertion of Dillon and
O'Brien Knock the Last Prop from
Under Him.
LONDON, Aug. l.-Messrs. Dillon and
O'Brien's reputation of Parnell,
though a foregone conclusion, has pro-
foundly depressed the Parnellites, who
relied upon a belief that both would
suspend a public pronouncement. Mr..
Parnell sought through private COM
munications made on the eve OF
their release, to resume negotia-
tions, but neither responded to
these secret overtures. Mr.. Par
nell hoped until the last moment
that he would again entangle them in
maneuvers for reunion. Their prompt
and decisive declarations as soon as
they were outside the prison doors, and
their refusal to listen to any advances
from the Parnellitas, fell like death
blow upon the faction. The last flicker
of hope went out when the lord mayor
of Dublin and other devoted Parnell-
ties vainly tried to induce Mr.. O'Brien,
who was supposed to be more
ductile that Mr.. Dillon, to reconsider
his position. Mr., O'Brien bluntly de-
clined a renewal of the Boulogne nego-
tiations or any approach thereto. When
the attitude of the released leaders be-
came definitely known the chief Dublin
Parnellites held meeting privately
and had a warm time disputing over
the course they should take. An
intimation reached them of the
desertion of the party organs
in Dublin and Belfast, and
several members of the Parnellite COM
mittee withdrew, leaving the steadfast
adherents to pass a resolution denoune-
ing Dillon and O'Brien and urging Mr.
Parnell not to yield.

William Caldwell Hanged at Houston,
Tex.-Isham White Meets a Like Fate at
Helena, Ark.

William Caldwell Hanged at Houston,
Tex.-Isham White Meets Like Fate at
Helena, ARK.
Houston, Tex, Aug. 1:-William
Caldwell was executed at 1880 a. m,
in the county Jail. He died without
making statement, but expressed the
belief that he was going to Heaven.
He walked upon the scaffold with
out assistance and in eight minutes
after the trap fell he was pronounced
dead His neck was broken. Cald-
wells death probably sealed the lips of a
man who could, had he wished, have
told more about the origin of the jay
bird and woodpecker strife in Fort Bend
county than any other person. He was
negro far above the usual intelli-
gence of his race. The warfare
which existed for couple of years
between these two political fac
tions exterminated whole families
and scores of men were murdered.
But Caldwell is the only person who
met judicial death on account Of it.
He killed DR.. J. M. Shamblen on the
night of July 81, 1888. DR.. Shamblen
was prominent jaybird, or
democrat. Caldwell was q wood
pecker, or republican. On the night of
the assassination DIR. Sham blen was
sitting at a table in his home holding
family prayer, with his wife and fam
lily surrounding him, when he was shot
through a window. No one saw Cald-
well shoot the doctor and the evidence
was purely circumstantial.
HELENA, Ark, Aug. 1.-isham White
was executed in the Jail yard here at
1890 p. m. The crime for which White
was executed was the murder of Prince
Malloy, aTnegro, for the money he was
known to keep in his house. The muir
der occurred on the night of January q

Passenger Cars Go Into . Ditch Near
Bellaire, o., and Fourteen Persons Are
Badly Injured.
BELLA1RE, O., Aug. 1.-Another hort
ror has been added to the late list Of
railroad accidents in Ohio. At about
10 o'clock Friday morning passenger
train No. on the Bellaire, Zanesville
& Cincinnati narrow gauge railroad
left the track miles south of Bellaire,
two cars being overturned and dragged
some distance by the engine. There
were seventy passengers on the train,
and the two oars that turned over into
the ditch were crowded with
well-known people of that sec.
ton. When they left tho track
some one cried oat that every.
body should cling TO their seats, but
the shock was so great many were
hurled from one side to the other, those
not badly injured being terribly shaken
up. Assistance was soon at hand from
when all were finally taken out of the
wrecked cars it was found that four
teen people had been injured, four Of
them seriously and one fatally.
The train was running at the least
calculation at the rate of IS miles an
hour, and as it reached a curve the
cars were noticed to sway violently,
and unheeding the cries for passengers
to keep their seats rush was made for
the doors. Many of the frightened pas
sengers had reached the platform when
the cars jumped the rails, and when
they turned over in another moment
these were hurled into the ditch in an
indiscriminate mass of men, women
and children. The lis of the injured
is as follows:
Irwin, John, OF Bethal, O., head crushed and
scalp injured.
McElroy William, head hurt and internal in.
juries.
McElroy, Charles, leg broken and otherwise
bruised:
Norris, John, baggagemaster, hurt internally,
badly bruised ana will probably die.
Wilcox, G. p, Of York, Pa head badly in:
jured.
In addition to these there were many
badly bruised, but able to take care of
themselves, and they went on to their
several destinations:

that harvest is progressing finely in the

southeastern counties the grain is near
ly all cut What threshing has been
done gives even better yield than had
been anticipated. Harvesting is gener-
al all over the state and the yield
