Theodore OIney.

EAST WAREHAM. Mass, Oct. S.-Dr.
Charles Theodore Olney of Brooklyn, n.
Y, was drowned last night in the channel
in Onset Bay, and there is a mystery sur
rounding the affair.
He came here two weeks ago in COM
pany with Lusse White of New York for
the purpose of investiga ting the phenomena
of materialized spirit forms. They had
rooms with Mrs. Bliss, medium.
Last evening the doctor went for swim.
Miss White, for some unexplaina bile rea-
SOD, promptly followed him. On the bluffs
she heard frightiul streams on the water
a short distance out and rushed down to
the beach and put off in a small boat.
She says She reached the side of the
drowning man and endeavored to pull him
into the boat, but their combined weight
overturned the craft and he sank while
she clung to the boat until rescued by men
who were attracted by her screams.
This morning DR.. Olney's body was re-.
covered. He was fully clothed. and there
was no explanation of his being in the

AT PARNELL'S GRAVE.
Honors to the Memory of the
Irish Statesman.
There Was a Monster Procession
and Touching Floral Tributes
From Several Nations.

DUBLIN, Oct. 8.-Ireland and 1rishmen
from all over the world to-day assembled
around the grave of Charles Stewart Par
nell in Giasneyin Cemetery and did honor
and reverence 10 the memory of the groat
irish leader. 1t was the second anniver-
sary of his death and the Gro wds attending
the days ceremonies showed that Ireland
had not forgotten the services of Parnell.
The procession of mourners through the
streets of Dublin far succeeded in number
and in reverence last years upon the same
occasion. The procession was headed by
a black-draped wagon, upon which were
piled memorial wreaths sent from different
parts of the country, as well as several
from the United States, Canada aud from
Australia.
The officials and corporations of the
cities of Dublin and Cork attended the
ceremonies in state. The streets along
the route to the cemetery were packed
with people and the neigh borhood of Gias-
nevin was crowded. John Parnell, brother
Of the late Charles Stewart Parneil, and
Mrs. Dickinson. sister, appeared in a
carriage. at the cemetery wreaths were
placed upon the grave Of the beloved Irish
statesman. The procession then reformed
and returned 10 the city.
1t was the inten ton of the committee TO
make the demonstration as far as possible,
indicative of the strength If the Parnellite
cause. With that subject in view fast
special excursion trains were run TO Dub
lin from ali parts of Ireland. Many thou
sands availed of these trains and the dem
onstration was much more successful
than last year. One great departure from
the programme Of last year was the ab-
sence of public speaking In connection
with the eemmemoratioB. The proce ssion
was headed by a contingent of principal
Parnellites. All trades, friendly societies
and many other bodies in the city also
walked in the procession. The instru-
ments of the different bands were draped
in black and the music was dirgeful and Of
funereal character.
NEW YORK. Oct S.-The Central Coun-
Gil of the Irish Independent party with
friends and brethern gathered tonight in
the Grand Opera-house Hall to celebrate
the memory Of Charles Stewart Parnell.
The hall was decorated with patriotic en-
blems, while the picture of the great Irish
leader was draped with Grape. A glowing
eulogy On the dead statesman was deliv-
cred by James Clancy. The meeting was
a stirring one, In which the Irish traitors
were hissed as loudly as the Irish patriot
were cheered.

DECAPITATED BY A TRAIN.
Letters Relate a Weird and
Sensational Story.
IoUNDED BY A FORMER LOVE.
Peculiar Death of Henry Kershaw of
the New Orleans Commercial.
May Be Insanity.

CHICAGO, Oct S.-What promises to de-
velop into a sensational suicide occurred
to-day on the railroad track at the foot of
Monroe street. From papers found on
the suicides body he is believed to be
Henry Kershaw, editor and manager of
the New Orleans Commercial
The man was noticed standing on the
tracks, and as freight train approached
he threw himself upon the tracks and
placed his neck across a rail. The police
hastened to the spot, but the train had
severed the head from the body before
they could reach him..
Letters found in the mans pockets led
to his Identification, and the contents, ii
true. tell sensational story. In all the
letters which he had written Kershaw
speaks of a crime charged against him
which was prosecuted by a woman he
designated as Libbie Bloom and e number
OF secret societies, and he claims he was
bounded to his grave.
He speaks of unfair trial and evidently
believes his enemies intended to murder
him. He hinted at lynching. but stated
he did not fear it, not fearing death. Let
ters were also found on him signed by
Libbie Bloom. and they, taken in connec-
tion with those written by himself, indi-
cate he was infatuated with the Bloom
woman and left his wife and children in
order to live with her. Some Of the let
ters read like the products Of deranged
mind.
NEW ORLEANS, Oct. S.-Henry Ker.
shaw, who committed suicide in Chicago
to-day. is not well known here, and has
not been in journalism for some time. He
issued the Commercial Bulletin about a
year. and at one time was partner in a
large printing Office. Nothing is known
of him in connection with the woman,
Libbie Bloom. or his domestic affairs.
