affairs, Parnell left unsettled the question
OF the custody OF his wife's youngest chill
dren. ''It is no secret'' said the same au-
thority, THAT Mr.. Parnell claimed TO be
the father OF the two youngest children Of
Mrs. O'Shea"
A son of DR.. William Richard Powers,

cal works on diseases of the brain and
spinal cord, who has been attending Par
nell, was the physician who watched the
closing hours of his life.
THE GREAT LEADERS, CONDITION
was so bad throughout Tuesday that Dr.
POWERS was unable to leave his bedside
from early in the morning until ParneIl
breathed his last. This morning Mrs Par
nell is receiving large number of tele-
graphic messages from apparently all
parts of the world, all of them containing
words of coincidence. 4 dispatch sent
from Brighton at $3.50 p. IN. to-day says
Mrs. Parnell continued in a condition too
Frustrated to be able to see any one. Both
Mr. Powers and his son refuse to make
any statement as to the cause of his death,
or as to the progress of his sickness until
tae family authorizes it. 1t appears Mr.. and
MRS. Parnell fully intended having reE-
Slous marriage ceremony performed, but
Inc vicar OF st. Eyning refused to officiate
On the ground that Mrs. Parnen was a
DIVORCED WOMAN.
The vicar, however, offered to lend the use
OIL his church for the ceremony if Mr.. Par
nell found clergyman to officiate The
bishop of the diocese then forbade the cere-
mony as the parties were already civily
married. Finally, through Parnell's per-
severance it was arranged that Rev Mr..
Penfold, of St. James, Marylebone, should
ohlciate, and Mr.. Parnell intended to seek
license, when the bishop of Chichester,
VINO was on the continent returned.
Early in the day the report that Parneh
died by his own hand spread far, and
among the persons whom it reached was
Mrs. Parnell. Tonight she requests that
an emphatic denial be given to the rumors
that her husband committed suicide. She
states he had long suffered from rheuma-
tism which developed into fever which
killed him.
In an interview this evening James
O'helly, member of parliament for North
Roscommon, said he called upon Mrs. Par
nell tonight and she admitted him to see
the body of Parnell. O'Keny declared
from the peaceful expression on the face of
his late friend it was difficult to believe he
was really dead. He could not state what
was the cause of his death. The aspect of
the corpse, however, suggested death re-
suited from natural causes, and had come
without any violent pain.
