The Kilkenny Member who Defeated Par
neIl's Candidate Passes Away.
LONDON, October l3.-Sir John Pope
Hennessey, NJ. IT, for Kilkenny is dead
Sir John Pope Hennessev's defeat Of
Mr. Vincent Scully brought him into Il
prominence that he could have enjoyed
| long before, had he wished 10 relinquish
the many favors received at the hands
Of the English government for polit-
ical life in which notoriety figures by
the side OF such work as has been be-
fore Parnell. Indeed, it has often
been said that he might Lave reached
the same seat OF prominence had he
wished it.
Sir Hennessey was born in Cork in
1894 and was one OF the few self-made
men Of Great BFitain. He was a man
Of strong individuality and marked
force OF character. He also possessed a
glib tongue and smooth, plausible man
ner which assisted in bringing him to
the fore in his candidacy against the
Parnellite Scully.
Hennessey began the study OF law and
In 1861 was admitted to the bar from
the Inner Temple. All this time he
was pursuing policy OF getting into
the government and making himself
indispensable TO IT, He was successful,
so that on every hand he was received
with attention and consideration. la
1867 he was knighted and soon after left
immediate parliamentary service to en-
ter the colonial government, He be-
came governor in turn OF the West AZ
rican settlements. the Bahamas. the
Windward islands and Hong Kong. All
the time he was in receipt OF very rich
salaries His last official position was
as governor OF Mauritas.
Aside from his polite renown and
distinction Us a man Of wealth. Sir Hen
nessey occupied high place in the So
cial world His home was Rostellan
castle, Cork, where he reigned supreme
through the country side while he was
not abroad. Indeed, so prominent was
he socially that he became the origin
al OF "Phineas Finn. the Irish Member, -.
by Anthony TrGlope. In this, as is
well known, the leading character was
made to portray the character OF rich
hunting squire, a handsome young con-
servative, a society man and leading
barrister. That was Hennessey all
over-a type Of the Irish gentleman
Sir John married his wife iE Mauritas
where she owned vast estates When
he came home his people wondered
whether his wife was black or yellow.
When they found her white they evin-
ced surprise and qualification.

CHAS. S. PARNELL DEAD.
The Irish Leader Passes Sud-
denly Away.
While Mr. ParnelI has Been Failing
for Several Months, Ills Death was
Surprise 90 All--The Imme-
diate Cause Unknown.

LONDON, October 13.-Great Britain
and Ireland we're startled this morning
by the utterly unlocked for announce
ment that Charles Stewart Parnell, the
noted Irish leader, died suddenly yes
terday evening at his home in Brigh-
ton.
IL has been well known that Mr.. Par
nell has not enjoyed the best OF health
for years past, and IL has been noticed
and widely commented upon that since
the O'Shea divorce developments be-
came matter OF public notoriety, and
since political trouble came upon him
the great Irish member OF parliament
han grown thinner, and that he had
perceptibly aged in appearance, but no
body expected TO hear OF his death, and
no inkling as TO his illness had reached
the newspapers.
Only at this hour II a. m. has it been
possible 10 obtain the details In regard
TO tho death OF Mr.. Parnell. He died
at his home, Walshingham Terrace.
Brighton. at 80 last night. His death
is said 10 have been indirectly due TO u
chill which he caught last week. and
which at first was not regarded as being
OF serious nature. Mr.. Parnell, how
ever, grew worse, and physician was
called in with tho result that
the patient was ordered 10 take his
bed. This was on Friday last, and from
that time he lost strength and finally
succumbed.
The exact nature OF the disease which
caused the death OF the Irish leader is
not known at present.

ARKANSAS CITY. Ark, October l3.
To-day the sheriff of this county made
an arrest in Oklahoma which may lead
TO the solution of great mystery. The
prisoner, John Pruden, is accused OF a
murder which was committed here over
two years ago. At that time man
named Charles Webb was reported 10
have been killed by a horse. There
was, however, some evidence to show
hat Webb was not dead, and that a
tramp had been murdered to get the in
suranee on Webb's life. While the cor
oner was investigating this supposed
murder, an old man named Louis Four
Dier. who lived in the neighborhood,
was murdered. and it was supposed he
was killed 70 prevent his telling what
he knew Of the Webb murder. The ex-
citement over these murders ended with
the arrest and acqusttal Of several men,
the evidence against them being insult
ficient 10 convict
Recently a negro named Reuben
Jones, who claims TO have known about
the murder. made a statement charg-
ing Pruden with the last murder, and
he is in jail awaiting trial. Jones says
he saw the man do the shooting, but
was afraid 10 tell what he knew at the
time.

THE COLD WINTER.
Great storms Predicted-Weather Prophet
Foster Falls Into Line with Bad
Predictions

Predictions.
The opinion seems almost universal
among weather prophets that the com
ing winter will be a severe one. In ad-
dition to Hicks and tho others Foster
makes the following Predictions which
are not far off,
"A remarkable period OF great storms
will occur during the first half of Oc-
tober that will be surpassed only by
those that will occur in March, 1892
There vii e three storm waves dvring
this storm eriod which viii cross the
continent from west TO east along the
usual storm centre routs. The frs of
those storm waves will be most severe
IN tho Mississippi valley and the last
along the Atlantic coast. The first will
be due to leave the Pacific coast about
September 70, cross the Rock-Alle-
ghany valley from October to 3 and
reach the Atlantic coast about the 5th.
'On the I'd the storm wave will be
crossing the Mississippi River not far
from St. Louis and will be then OF very
considerable force in Illinois and Mi
ssouri Accompanying this storm wave
may be expected tOrnadoes, cloud
bursts hail and severe gales, and with
in one or two days following il killing
frosts will visit most localities OF lati-
tude 80. with a strong probability OF
frosts much farther south Hurricanes
will develOpe great force on the North
Atlantic at this time. | cannot give
their exact location, but they will prob.
ably be not far east OF the West Indies
These hurricanes will become very
fierce along the Atlantic coast from
October 10 ~
These October storms will indicate
what the coming winter will be. / ex.
pect very great storms from the first of
October to the last Of March, and If this
period Of storms covering the first half
of October proves to be Of more than
usual force it will indicate that | have
lot miscalculated the weather, and we
may then confidetly expect a very cold
severe and stormy winter; setting in
quite early. Saturn will pass its equi-
mex the last OF October, aud to this in
iluence | attribute the great increase OF
storms since the middle of last May"

The Rnttle Is On.

Few OF our readers realize the magni-
tude Of the conflict that Is before them.
The real issue Is, which shall rule in
this republic, capital or the people?
Capital is entrenched in its strongholds
and has its tools and miniODs in every
mOley Center OF the woald, and is able
to concentrate its forces at short notice.
Many think that all we nave 10 do will
be to defeat Wall street. New York.
But all the money power OF Europe will
back Wall street. The Rothchilds
alone have over $50, 900, 900 invested in
this country, and they with other money
kings OF Europe have been laying their
schemes until at this day its no idle
boast of theirs that the people can ac-
complish nothing against their will.
To show they feel their power, read the
editorials in such papers as the New
York Tribune World, Mail and Ex-
press or Herald In 1878 the Tribune
said editor.ally, in speaking OF the sit
uatiOn:
Tn m ichinery is now furnished by which In
any emergency the financial corporations OF
the east can act together on single days no
iice with such power that no act Of congress
can overcome or resist their decisions.
This Is treason to every principle Of
free government, but who could convict
them? There is no doubt but that they
have this power, for capital is thor
oughly organized and the only hope 10
control capital and defeat its treasona-
Bile designs is by thorough Organiza-
ton of the masses, not 10 injurc capital
but to control it in the interest OF the
people. Nashville Tenn. Toiler.

ment at Washington ordering the war
ship Yorktown TO sail to Valparaiso,
Chill, at noon to-day. Az the yard it
was known that the vessel with the

their sudden sailing orders, the ships
