The Harrington Brothers to Desert Par
nell for the Opposition Faction.
LONDON, May 14.-What is left of the
Parnellite organization in Ireland is to
receive fatal blow within the next few
days. The two Harrington brothers,
Timothy and Edward, have decided to
give in their adhesion to the Nationalist
party. Timothy, report says, will make
the first move. The two brothers have
been by all odds the most formidable of
of Parnell's friends, because they con-
trolled the machinery of the old Nation

MANY TOWNS In ASHES.
Destructive Work of the Northern Mich
isan Forest Fires-Many Hundreds
Homeless-The Flames Sweep Over an
Immense Area, Leaving Nothing but
Smoking Ruins Fears that Many
Lives Have Been Lost in the Fires.

WHITE CLOUD, Mich, May 12-The
five upper townshipsin this county have
been a surging sea of fire ever since
Sunday, and it is believed that not
single one of the small hamlets is left.
Fields Station, with its four saw mills
and general store, is no more, and the
800 people who lived there Sunday are
to-day without home or roof to cover
their heads. Otia, or DingmaE, as it is
known to the postal authorities, is but
collection of smoking ruins, with the
POO people who called the place
home standing around in despair. Park
City, in Lincoln Township, went out in
fire and smoke yesterday morning.
Nothing is left of the cluster of small
houses that marked the place. Lilly
Station is hardly worth the name of
station, as only the small hotel and
smaller railroad station are LETT to mark
the town site. Freight cars without
number burned, and logging trains
melted away into ashes on the tracks
where they stood awaiting their loads
of lumber.
LUprNGToN, Mich. May 2.-Some of
the people who lived in Walkerville be-
fore the fire struck that town arrived
here yesterday in a depiorabe state.
lney lau nOlnlnS 10 call tnelr own oX-
cept the clothes they wore, and they
are exhausted with hard work in trying
to save their village. They say that it
is impossible to tell how many of the
inhabitants escaped alive, but they
fear that many died in the woods
where they fled for safety. The
village had 500 inhabitants, and no
one knows where more than half
this number is at present. The loss at
this point will reach $4,000. Vague
rumors of a large loss of life in other
points come, but veritiCation is imposs-
ble. This entire county will be swept
unless rain comes to-day.
SUPERIOR, Wis, Nay l2.--Reports from
Gordon. Wis, a small station thirty
miles south, say that forest fires are
raging and that several building have
been burned at and near the place.
The loss, estimated at $4,000,
has been done to pine timber
belonging to the Saurtrv d Tozier Lum-
Der Company. The Inhabitants are
considerably alarmed. The conductor
on the Chicago limited reports that
fierce fires are raging along the track
between thi, city and Rice Lake.

lgnatlon as the assistant chief of the

accepted.
For some time past rumors affecting
the official conduct of Mr. Raum, Jr.,
have found their way to Secretary No
bic, but not until just before his depart
ure for st. Lonis, about one week ago,
did he come into possession of facts that
would warrant him in taking official ac-
ton in the matter.
Secretary Noble then learned, upon
what appeared to be peferfectly trust
worthy testimony, that Mr.. Raum, Jr.,
had been party to certain irregular
and unlawful proceedings in connection
with three appointments to miuor posi-
tons in the Pension Bureau. The tenn
porary appropriation to his own uses of
81 belonging to the government is also
charged against him.
Mr.. Raum, Jr., it is said, stouty pro-
tested his innocence Of the charges
made against him, but the Secretary
thought that in any event his useful
ness IN the pension bureau was at an
end, and SO determined to require hi s

Furst Bismarck which reached here,

that of Southampton is six hours, so that
by this calculation the Bismarck beats not
