LAST HOPE GONE.

Parnell Can Never Again Lead the Irish
Party-The Desertisn Of Dillon aud
O'Rrien Knock tho LAST Prop from
Under Him.
LONDON, Aug. 1.-Messrs. Dillon and
O'Brien's reputation of Parnell;
though foregone conclusion, has pro-
foundly depressed the Parnellites, who
relied upon belief that both would
suspend public pronouncement. Mr..
Parncll 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 a 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 Parnellites, 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 renewal of the Roulogne 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 denounc-
ing Dillon and O'Brien and urging Mr.
Parnell not to yield.

were seventy passengers on the train,

some one cried out that every
body should cling TO their seats, but
the shock was SO great many were

other passengers and the trainmen, and
when all were finally taken out Of the

The train was running at the least
calculation at the rate Of IS miles an

cars were noticed to sway violently,
and unheeding the cries for passengers
to keep their seats a rush was made for
the doors. Many Of the frightened pas

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
