the aged lady, since she was removed TO
her homo after the murderous attack
made upon her. It waa said that the
theory that Mrs. Parnell had been rs.
saulied by some tramp, whose motive
was robbery. has been exploded. Mrs.
Parnell had" Mrs. knaud said, "a dog
with her which was faithful compan-
ion." When ita mistress was attacked
the dumb animal never barked. This
is taken as an indication that tho per-
son who attacked Mrs. Parnell was
somebody whom the dog recognized.
On the invitation of Mrs. Parnells
relatives Mr.. O'Flaherty visited the sick
chamber and found Mrs. Parnell con-
scious. She, however. did not recognize
any one except Mrs. knaud and an old
and faithful retainer OF the household
named slevin. Sleyin was o fellow pri-
soner OF Charles Stewart ParnelI's in

The report that Mrs. Parne!ps jewelry
had been stolen was contradic,ed and

valuable heirlooms Of the Parnell and
Stewart families. The com mmit,ce were
also informed that John Howard Par
nell, Mrs. Parnelrs only surviving son,
now staying at Avondale, County Wick
low, Ireland, is kept daily informed OF
the condition Of his mother.

'ensinG the independent parliamentary

next. Mrs. hnaud, whose energies
have beon severely tried. will be re-
lieved from attendance at once by a
trained nurse, who has been summoned
from Philadelphia. The nombera OF
tho depu'ation were pleased TO find the
injured lady IN careful hands.
Mrs. ParnelVs condition tonight is re-
ported as much improved and Dr.. W.

covery. Frederick Tudor, a cousin OF
