The Bolivar bulletin. (Bolivar, Tenn.) 1888-1946, 1891-10-16

Dispatches from Cork say that the
news of the death of Mr. Parnell has
caused a panic in that city. So abso-
lutely unexpected was the announce
| ment that at first it was received as
canard, but the confirmation of its
truth came quickly crowding upon its
heels. The personal and political
friends of the dead man are over
whelmed with grief, and those who
loudly and hotly opposed him in life
to-day maintain dignified and re-
spectful silence.
Another account says that it was on
Thursday after returning to Brighton
from Ireland that Mr.. Parnell found
himself compelled to take to his bed,
and that on the Friday following a
medical consultation was held. On
Sunday the physicians again came to-
gether in consultation, and it was ther
agreed that the distinguished patient
had been attacked by acute rheuma-
tism. At that time Mr.. Parnell was
suffering great pain and was growing
perceptibly weaker. Several hours be-
fore his death he became unconscious
and SO remained until the end.
Mrs. Parnell and the physicians were
the only ones at the bedside when the
dying man passed away. Mrs. Parnell
believed up to the moment when death
came to thoroughly disabuse her, that
her husband would recover.
London, in common With the rest of
Great Britain and ireland, was this
morning shocked by the news of Mr..
Parnells s death at Brighton last night.
No one appears to have known that the
Irish leader was even slightly i'll.
In an interview this morning Mr..
Justin Mccarthy expresses himself as
deeply affected by the death of Par
nell. When he last saw him, Septem-
ber ] and talked over registration mat
| ters he looked tired but seemed in good
spirits and hopeful Mccarthy hoped
that those who had followed the dead
leader would return to the party and
so end dissension. The speakers tone
and manner were expressive of sincere
sorrow.
