DUBLIN, Oct. 1.-THE remains of
Charles Stewart Parnell arrived at
Kingstown this morning. After leaving
London there were no demonstrations
along the railway routes until Chester
was reached. Here large deputations
from Liverpool, Manchester, Preston,
ewcastle-on-Tyne, and other places
joined the train. Mr.. ParnelPs col
leagues in parliament extended greet
ings to the various deputations.
THE TRIP ACROSS THE CHANNEL.
The funeral train reached Holyhead
about 2 O'Clock. 1t was a typical Brit
ish October morning-dark, dismal, wet,
cold and hazy.
Notwithstanding the unfavorable sur
roundings, large groups of people had
collected on the quay to watch the
transfer of the coffin from the train to
the mail boat. The case in which the
coffin had been placed was borne upon
the shoulders of seamen to the
steamer. The Parnellites followed
next behind. Sobs were distinctly
audible as the procession filed down the
double gangway to the ship. The coffin
was deposited in an enclosure specially
fitted up for its reception, and here the
faithful followers of the dead chief kept
watch throughout the voyage across the
channel, relieving one another at regu-
larly appointed intervals. Amongst
those who kept guard were the lord
mayor OF Dublin, High Sheriff Meade
and Mr.. Parnell, brother of the de-
ceased. The journey across was event
less, the boat making the passage in
gale and through torrents of rain.
THE REMAINS RECEIVED ON IRISH SOIL.
At Kingston crowd had collected to
receive the remains on Irish soil. Con-
spicuous among those present were the
following followers of Mr.. Parnell:
Richard Power, Mr.. Joseph E. Kenny,
T. Lawrence Care, James ]. Dalton, I.
Rochfort Mcguire, John ]. Clancy, VIM.
j. Corbett, Colonel John p. Nolan, Pat
rick O'Brien. These, with the mem
bers of the house of commons who fol-
lowed the body from London, and the
Kingston delegation, comprised nearly
all the parliamentary adherents of Mr..
Parnell All gathered around the coffin
in absolute silence, which was unbroken
even by an exchange of friendly
greetings, until after the transfer Of the
body to the railway carriage.
THE ARRIVAL AT DUBLIN.
The short distance was soon made,
the train arriving az Dublin station at
half-past seven. A vast silent crowd,
with uncovered heads. awaited the train
as it rolled into the station. Timothy
Harrington, member of parliament for
Dublin harbor, and DR.. Hackett, who
attended Parnell when his eyes were
injured in Kilkenny, as we'll as other
notabilities, here joined the swelling
funeral procession. Conspicuous in
front of the dense masses of people were
members of the Gaelic Athletic associa-
ton, with the hurlers used in their
sports, all draped with black Grape
caught up with green ribbon. The rep
resentatives of the different branches of
the league wore black badges, upon
which were printed the dying words of
the dying statesman: "Give my love to
my colleagues and to the Irish nation"
THE MARCH TO THE CITY HALL.
On being removed from the train the
coffin was lifted into hearse. Floral
tributes literally covered the top of the

These after they had been put aside
were eagerly seized upon by the crowd,
broken into small pieces, and kept as
mementoes of the sad occasion. AS the
hearse moved from the station body of
police formed in front of the procession.
The band of the Workingmen's union
followed directly behind the police es
cort and played the Dead March in Saul.
Then came the Gaelic Athletic associa-
ton with their hurlers reversed, resem-
bling military body at reversed arms"
AS the march progressed the crowd grew
denser. The city hall was soon reached.
Its front was covered with solemn dra-
peries.
A violent rain storm streamed down
as the coffin was borne into the hall. At
10 O'Clock the gates were opened and
instantly the people poured into the
hall.
THE BODY LYING IN STATE.
The body lay in state in the council
chamber. Photographs were taken,
then the public were admitted to see the
coffin, which was placed at the base Of
the O'Connell statue, on either side OF
which, in bold relief, are the statues OF
Grattan and Lucas.

persons paid their respects to the illus
trious dead. Nearly all were in deeI
mourning. The men wore band o.

bons around the arm. Despite the
