A Plucky Woman Conquers an Eel.
Mrs. VIM. Fernald. of the state of Indiana,
now spending the summer at North Dix
mont, is woman of nerve. While out fish
ing with a party on Martin stream the other
day, she felt bite that nearly pulled the
pole out OF her hand. Then, when she start
ed to pull up, the line held as II hitched to
alog at the bottom. This Is the invariable
sign OF an eel, as all old fishermen know.
Inc other fishermen told Mrs. Martin that
she had hooked an eel but she never hesita-
ted an instant Pulling with all her might
she drew out huge eel more than two feet
and half long. She threw 1t onto the bank,
seized 1t by the neck, and took the hook from
Its mouth in spite Of its writings.

COLLISION OF VESSELS.

A Steam Barge and Schooner Come
 Together With Disastrous Results.
 SAULT STE. MARIE, Mich, Oct. H. The steam barge Susan E. Peck, loaded with 60, ,000 bushels of wheat from Duluth to Buffalo, when passing through St. George flats, at the elbow near the can buoy, yesterday, collided with the schoon- CT George W. Adams, up-bound, in tow of the steam barge Aurora. The Adams struck the Peck on the starboard bow and dashed her stern in. The Peck sank immediately The Adams sustained considerable injury but sine can proceed with temporary re- pairs. The Peck lies directly across the canal, her stern resting on one bank and her bow on the other. No craft can pass up or down to Lake Superior until & channel is dredged around her. It will require nearly 700 feet of channel sixty or seventy feet wide. It will be fifteen days before navigation can resume its regular run.
 The Peck is valued at $165,000 and is owned by Captain John Green of Buffalo. The block at this season of the year is seri- ous on account of the immense amount of grain to be carried from the northwest Government Engineer Wheeler will send the Dunbar fleet of dredges to the scene of the blockade. The dredges, it is thought, can open channel in six or seven days.

NJ. Bailey's Sons & Co.'s great oilcloth factory. The fire proved to be in their works. In an hours time nearly every building upon the ground was in ashes. The main building was 240x44 feet, four stories high, contained the printing room, the color room and en- giue room. The second building was 13Ox30 feet, four stories high and was joined to the main shop at the east end. In this there were situated the varnish, trimming and packing room and the box department. The third building was 1O0x30 feet, II stories high and was used for sizing and storage purposes, the naptha house being situated between the two wings. The other buildings included the japan house, oil sheds, machine shops and offices. About 100 tons of coal, forty cords of wood and large stock of oils were on hand, most of which were consumed. Quite an amount of finished goods were in the building and large amount was in process of manufacture, but little of which was saved.
 The mill buildings covered the larger part of three acres. The loss cannot be less than $100, ,000, only partly covered by insurance. The mill will probably be re- built

The Remains. of the Great Irish
 :, Leader Buried in Dublin-The Pro-

 Many Floral Tributes-Thc Services
 at the Crave.
 DUBLIN, Oct. 1.-The remains of Charles Stewart Parnell arrived at Kings London. there were no demonstrations along the railroad route (the London and Northwestern line) until Chester. was reached. Here large deputations from tle=on-Tyne and other places joined the train. MT. Parnells colleagues in parlia- ment, including John F. Redmond of Wex- ford, John o'Connor of Tipperary, Joseph Nolan of Louth, Henry Campbell of Fer managh, Dr. James G. Fitzpatrick of Longford and James J. O'Kelly of Ros- common, extended greetings to the vari- ous deputations.
 The funeral train reached Holyhead at about 3 o'clock. It was typical British October morning-dark, dismal, wet, cold and hay. Notwithstanding the unfavor- able surroundings, eager groups of people had collected on the quay to watch the transfer of the coffin from the train to the mail boat Appropriately named the Ire land) in the murky darkness, which was only relieved by the few fickering lamps in and about the railway station and water front.
 THE JOURNEY ACROSS THE CHANNEL.
 The journey across was eventless-the boat making the passage in gale of wind and through torrents of rain. At Kings ton crowd had collected to receive the remains on Irish soil. Conspicuous among those present were the followers of MT. Parnell, Richard Power, M. P. for Waterford, Dr. Joseph E. Kenney for Cork, T. Lawrence Carew for Kildare, James J. Dalton for West Donegal, T. Rochefort Mcguire for North Donegal, John J. Clancy for Dublin county, Will liam s. Corbett for East Wicklow, Colonel John P. Nolan for North Galway, and Patrick O'Brien for North Monaghan. The short distance was soon made-the train arriving at the Dublin station at half-past seven. A vast, but silent crowd with uncovered heads awaited the train as it rolled into the station. Timothy liar rington, the member of parliament for Dublin Harbor and Dr. Hackett, who at tended MT. Parnel when his eyes were in iured at Kilkenney, as well as other nota- bilities here joined the swelling funeral procession.
 Upon being removed from the train the case was taken from the coffin, which was then lifted into hearse, a panel of glass exposing the coffin to view. Wreathes and other floral tributes literally covered the top of the hearse and were piled around the coffin case.
Morning journal and courier., 1891-10-12
THE PROCESSION.

At quarter to 3 the procession started,
 led by the executive of the leadership com
 mittee, following came the bier drawn by six coal black horses, surrounded by the parliamentary colleagues of MT. Parnell. As the coffin passed almost hidden in flowers every head in the vast assemblage was un-
 covered. The city hall was reached at half past 8. Its front was covered with solemn draperies.
 A violent rain storm streamed down as the coffin was borne into the hall towards the catafalque. It kept raining in pitiless torrents for hour after hour: yet the num- bers of vast throngs that were struggling to course their way towards the city hall | were not reduced the slightest or was their eagerness one whit dampened. It was an assemblage of remarkable se- renity. A reverential quiet pervaded the | entire mass which was unbroken by parti- | san cries or even the remotest symptom o1 l tendency to disorder.
