Some Very Distressing Incidents Come

A st. Petersburg dispatch TO the Lon
don News, says: 1.-THE u. s. imnigra-
tion commissioners, who have recently
been visiting Russia, were painfully
impressed by the condition o. tho,
Jews who are within the pale They
saw, according to the News cores
pondent, a number of curious examples
OF the Russian administration, Of
which the following instance is given:
A Jew suffering from hydrophobia was
being treated at the Pasteur institute,
at Moscow. When supposed to be
cured 10 gendarme arrived at the insti-
tute and the jew was conducted, on
foot, marching stage by stage along
side the gendarme's horse, to his birth
place in the western provincea The
U. S. commissioners, the News
correspondent adds, also visited
factory at Gradno, capital OF
the province of that name, where
hundreds of Jews were working for
wages amounting to less than fifty
cents per week. The high standard of
morality Of these Jews, in spite of the
state of frightful poverty in which they
lived, Is said to have made deep inn
preston upon the American commits
sioners At Russian police station
the commissioners received lesson in
bribery, Russian friend of the travel
ers openly bribing anumber of Russian
officials, one after another, without

GLASNEVEN.
That Is Where the Remains OF
Parnen VIII Lie.
rho Doctors Recognize Their Mistake, and
Tell What Caused Death-A Case
of Plain Dissolution and
Nothing More.

ROBBED in white and in leaden coffin,
Charles Stewart Parnell lies in state in
the front room of the first floor of n
high gray house, which shows no light
in its dark and gloomy interior save
that which filters in through the
fan-light over the door. In front, only
few yards across the parade, the
ocean surges boom high requiem,
while along the eastern horizon lies a
bank of heavy black clouds. The
whole scene is typical of mourning for
the brilliant but checkered and sad
career of the man who lies in death be-
hind the framed, glass-fronted ver-
anda 1t was decided Thursday that
the funeral ceremony will be held at
the cemetery at Glasneven, a village
about three and half miles
north of Dublin, on Sunday next
The body will arrive in Dub
lin Sunday morning and will be taken
in state to the city hall, and from there
the funeral will proceed. Extensive
preparations have already been COM
menced in view of the monster demon
stration which is sure to follow. The
last hours OF Mr.. Parnell were inde-
scribably painful. The severe cold he
contracted at Galway brought cn a
fever, which burst forth on Sunday.
The doctors had the gravest fears, as
he was unable to take any food and
on Monday night spasms set in, which,
though intermittent were of increasing
strength and produced intense Gnguish.
His pain was so great that morphia
was administered, giving some little
relief. In the early periods of delirium
he had semilucid moments, during
which he conversed weakly with those
around him, his theme being constant
ly Ireland. That seemed to be the
one idea that possessed him before un-
consciousness came. Between 6 and z
o'clock on Tuesday evening" he said,
knowing that death was near: "Give
my love to my colleagues and to the
Irish people" This he said to his wife,
who stood by his bedside, and then re-
lapsed into unconsciousness, only par
italy disturbed by spasms, until twen-
ty-five minutes before midnight when
the heart ceased to beat 1t was ru-
mored in London that Parnell COM
mitted suicide, but the physicians say
that he died of acute rheumatism, which
affected his heart. 1t was an untoward
circumstance, which, however, is not
unusual in such cases In Parnell's case
the constitutionally weak action of the
heart made it impossible to resist such
an attack

CRIMES ooNFEssEp

by n Woman Under Arrest at Scranton.
Pa, and Will BE Probably Prosecuted for
Murder.
Mrs. Fannie Decker was arrested at
Scranton, Pa, Saturday night, charged
with performing one hundred criminal
operations, the one leading to the ar
rest being that performed upon Mrs.
Lena Brersin, of Hyde Park. The
story of the crime Is as strange as
it is shocking Mrs. Brersin-nee
Lena Muller-was betrayed by Mi
chael Brersin some months ago, under
promise of marriage. Shortly after that
Brersin disappeared Deserted by her
lover, and fearful of facing the derision
of the world alone, Miss Muller called
upon Mrs. Decker, who informed her
that she could easily rid her of her en-
barrassment The operation was per-
formed last Monday. On Wednes-
day Brersin returned, explained
his absence and married the girl
that day. The same night She
was taken SICK, and on Friday night
her physicians told her she was about
to die. Then she sent for an officer,
and her confession was made in writing
and signed. The mode of operation of
Mrs. Decker is described in the details
of this confession. The woman seems
to have made confdant of her latest
patron, telling her of one hundred sim
liar operations which she had perform
ed. Mrs Decker, who is the wife of Il
man of means, has been arrested for
the criminal operation, and will he
prosecuted for murder if, as is expect
| ed, Mrs. Brersin dies.

CABINET CHANGES
All Depend on Whether Secretary Blaine
Will Resume His Official Duties.


All Depend on Whether Secretary Hlaine
Will Resume His Official Duties.
There is q rumor to the effect that
the president inclines to the belief that
Secretary of State Blaine will not re-
turn to Washington to resume his Off
cial duties, and if he does not Mr. Har-
rison has selected man to take the
vacant shoes. Gen. John w. Foster,
according to the rumor is next for
promotion to the state department.
There is good reason given for
this action. Mr. Miller, it now seems
certain, will go out of the cabinet and
take a judgeship when the new APP
pointments are made. Then Indiana
will be without cabinet officer. The
reasons which indicate Mr.. Fosters APP
pointment are equally cogent IF u new
man went into the state department it
would take him six months to get the
run" of things, whereas Mr.. Foster
having really done about all that has
been accomplished since Mr.. Blaine
left, could take up the work where it
now is, and carry it to q speedy and
successful conclusion.

RIO JANBIRO RIOT.


Several Persons Killed and Many In
jured-President Eonseca in Bad Health.
Serious disturbances occurred at Rio
Janeiro, Thursday night They made
their first appearance in the italian
theater from some cause unknown,
and the trouble soon spread to the ad-
jacent streets The police arrested
many of the rioters, but, finding them
selves outnum bered, force of cavalry
made several charges and dispersed the
mob. When the streets were cleared
and order restored it was found that
several persons had been killed and
many injured. The health of President
Fonseca has been in precarious con.
dition recently. Friday he was sone
better, but he is still extremely weak.
Intrigues are afoot regarding the sue.

Interesting Figures,

A review of the extent to which rail-
way construction has been going on in
the United States during the present
year shows that during the nine months
ended September 80 there were 2,s92
miles of main line built on 1856 different
roads. Although there are three months
of the year left in which the track-lay-
ing in progress on a number of short
lines will be materially increased, it
now seems probable that the total for
1891 will fall below 5000 miles. At
present it is about 96O miles less
than at the same time in 1890, when
the total for the year reached nearly s.
73S miles

PARNEr,r, DEAD.

Arouses Deep Interest in England.

uo Passed Away Mt Brighton-The News
Arouses Deep Interest in England.
Charles Stewart Parnell died at
Brighton Tuesday night His death
was the result of chill which he had
contracted last week. On Friday he
;ook to his bed. His death occurred at
Washington Terrace, Brighton, at so
minutes past II o'clock Tuesday night
Tho news has created intense excite
ment in London, and bulletin reports
of the newspaper offices are surround
ed by crowds of people awaiting the
coming details of this most unexpected
event. kilograms are pouring in to the
lato leaders friends in London from all
parts of Ireland, urging them to for
ward promptly to that country every
scrap of news in connection with his
death which possibly can be obtained.
On Friday evening, shortly after Mr..
Parnell had been induced oretire to his
bed, his condition became so grave that
Mrs Parnell and the attending ply
sician decided it advisable to at once
summon additional medical advice.
Two other physicians were at once
called in. Notwithstanding their eff
forts, Mr.. Parnell continued to grow
worse, and it soon became obvious
that the Irish leader gradually
was sinking, and that death was
but a question of few days
perhaps hours. Since late on the even
ing of Friday it appears to have been
simply matter of awaiting the arrival
of the inevitable. Mrs. Parnell, who
has been completely devoted to her
husband, refusing to leave his bedside
for even an hours rest, is utterly pros
trated by the shock, and her physicians
are somewhat apprehensive as to her
condition

THE RICE POOL

Is Patterned La.'gely After the Famous
Cotton Seed Oil Trust.
The New Orleans rice mills, thirteen
IN number, have organized pool or
combination very similar to the cotton
seed oil mills. Each mill will be
put in the pool at fixed price;
some of them will be closed and
others operated, and the profits will
be divided among them in pro.
portion to the amount of stock or cer-
tificates each holds. The pool hopes to
entirely control the rice trade, to fix
the price of rough and cleaned rice not
only for Louisiana, but for the greater
portion of the country. So far it is
confined to Louisiana, but it may be
extended so as to include all the other
rice mills in the country, as a northern
syndicate with this object in view Sc
cured options on all the New Orleans
mills some time ago. which options
have not yet expired.

1t is expected that the sailing of the
Yorktown for Valparaiso will speedily
settle the attitude of Chill. The best
obtainable information in Washington
is to the effect that the leaders of the
new government are decidedly hostile
to the United States. At the same
time it is not believed that they are
prepared to push matters to actual con-
fiict. That Chilli may proceed SO far as
to break Off diplomatic relations is
looked upon as more than probable.

UNDER THE OULD SEP.
Parnel's Funeral Great Demon-
etration.
Rioters Deny tho Corpse Peaceful
Burial, Their Orgies Even Invade
the Graves SoIemnity.

II isn pity TO be compelled to say
that Parnell's public funeral Sunday
ended at nightfall with the roughcst
kind of rowdyism and ribaldry on tho
very verge of the grave; yet any state
mcnt more moderate than this would
not come within a reasonable limit OF
truth The people were beaten back
with sticks from the graves side,
and sent home with blcening
heads. Many of Parnelrs colleagues,
who had followed the hearsc for
miles through the mud. were unable to
get anywhere near the grave, and those
who did succeed in getting there were
obliged to plead piteously with the
unruly crowd not to trample Parnelfs
weeping relatives under their heels.
The spectacle in every way was
more disgraceful than was probably
ever seen at n funeral Parnclls
colleagues feel keenly mortified
over it, since u very little forcthought
might have prevented it. With the
exception of the two hours delay in
starting, mainly due to the unpropitious
weather, the arrangements made for
burying Parnell worked admirably, un'
| til it came ~ the final scenes at the
cemetery, where everything collapsed.
1t is only fair to say that this disturb
ance was not due in the slightest de-
gree to Anti-Parnellites Otherwise
the funeral was great demonstration.
Over 40, 600 viewed the remains INF Dub
lin hall and most of them followed
| them to the tomb. 1t was
dark before the body was
| placed in the grave, and amid shrielSs
of women, the scene was weird one.
Mrs. Parnell did not attend the funeral,
as her condition is serious. The con-
tributions of flowers were many, Miss
O'Sheas floral tribute being, I'm Low
ing Memory of Mothers Husband"

A FIGHT FOR LIFE.
Terrible Struggle OF an Aged FarmC

Terrible Struggle of an Aged Farmer
with an Immense MastiG.
A terrible fight is reported from
Rockcastle, Mason county, w. Va, be-
tween a large mastiff, weighing one
hundred pounds, and Daniel Oliver, a
wealthy farmer more than sixty years
of age. For some time past dogs have
been killing sheep in that neighbor-
hood, and, hearing commotion
among his sheep, Mr.. Oliver went
out with a large knife in his
hand He grasped the dog by the
throat and after terrible struggle
plunged his knife several times into the
dogs breast. Thinking to have fatally
wounded the animal, he threw it off
The animal soon rallied, and darting at
Mr.. Oliver, grasped him by the throat,
and threw him down declivity, An
other struggle occurred, in which Mr..
Oliver was badly bitten. By a dexter
GUS thrust he plunged the knife into the
dogs heart, and the animal fell over
dead, just as the old man was about to
succumb. Despite his age he is man
of great strength.

SOUTHERN HoRsEMANsHIP.
People Who Are from Necessity Superior
RlderS.

People Who Are from Necessity Superior
Riders.
1t will be accepted as truism that
the man or people who does any given
thing the most constantly will be apt
to excel in that one thing. Apply this
to the riding of the southerners. Now
the climate and soil, the thicker popu-
lation, and more Industrious habits of
the eastern and middle states produced
excellent roads at a much earlier period
than in the south. In fact, there are
few places in the south to-day where
the roads can be called tolerable. Good
roads are wont to be followed by
wheeled transportation; poor roads
force people to cling to the saddle.
When the northern farmer goes to the
nearest town he drives, because the
roads are good, and he can carry his
stuff to better advantages; the south
erner rides, because the roads for a
groa5 part of the year are impossible
to wheels. This breeds the universal
habit of horseback work. The same
thing applies to women. To visit their
neighbors go to church or shopping in
the nearest village, the women must
make use of the saddle. This necessity
of the country, where the roads are
bad, becomes habit of the city, where
the roads are better. The southerner
has been in the saddle constantly for
many generations, and to-day boys and
girls alike ride the colts in pasture,
with only stick to guide them. In
the north these conditions and habits
ceased long ago. Riding is II mere
fashion of very recent origin, though
it has acquired such an impetus that il
! may have come to stay.
The southern seat is practically the
same as the true military seat; ed ex'
cept that the bride hand is wont to bt
held trihe too high, which is u habit
caught from the high pommel or roll o
blankets or other baggage in front o.
the soldier, this seat, when not eXag-
gerated, is, all things considered the
best for road riding, and perhaps woulC
enable man to do a greater number
of things in the saddle than any Other
one style. And though the Englisl
pigskin is perhaps a neater and more
available rig, the southerner is in gait
and style and knowledge of road work
by far the best model for MS to copy
as his saddlebeast is the best for us I,
