evening at his home in Brighton. It
had been we'll known that Mr.. Parnell
has not enjoyed the best of health for
years past, and it has been noticed and
widely commented upon, that since the
O'Shea divorce developments became q
public notoriety, and since political
trouble came upon him, that the great
Irish member of Parliament had grown
thinner, and that he had perceptibly
aged in appearance. But nobody ex-
pected to hear of his death, and no ink
ling as to his illness had reached the
newspapers.
Mr.. Parnell died at his home, Walls
ingham Terrace, Brighton, at IL: 80 last
evening. His death is said to have
been indirectly due to chill which he
caught last week, and which at first was
not regarded RS being of serious ma
ture. He grew worse, however, and q
physician was called in with the result
that the patient was ordered to take
to his bed. This was on Fri
day last, and from that time Mr..
Parnell lost strength and finally
succumbed. The exact nature of the
disease which caused the death of the
Irish leader is not made known at pres
