MRS. pARNELL BRurALLY BEATEN.
She Was Robbed and Assaulted Near
Her Old Home.

Her Old Home.
BORDENTOWN, N. j., April 19.-Mrs.
Della T. S. Parnell, mother of the late
Charles Stewart Parnell, who lives at Iron
sides, overlooking the Delaware river, near
here, was found bleeding and unconscious
late last night on the hillside by Charles
Casey, son of the farmer who has charge
of the farm at IronsideS.
At noon Mrs. Parnell still lay in an I'M
conscious condition. The authorities are
convinced that she was assaulted and rob-
bed, and have sent kilograms to all the
nearby cities and towns asking that a look
out be kept for a man of medium height,
with smooth face, wearing light over
coat and derby hat, who was seen in the
vicinity about the time the assault Is be-
lieved to have been committed, by Daniel
Griffin, the night switch tender on the rail-
road.
Ironsides is a big old two-story frame
structure and was built by her father
Commodore Stewart, many years ago. 1t is
as dreary a place as one could imagine
The aged woman has no close acquaint-
ances in Bordentown, and previous to 1880
had been living in restitution. In that year
the attention of Congress was called to her
straitened circumstances and the United
States government granted her a pension
of $50 per month.

United States Minister Tyler. at Teheran,
in Persia, appears to have had great deal
of trouble last year in securing adequate
protection for certain American mission
aries who were striving to establish a
Jewish mission school in that country. The
missionaries were rudely treated by the in
ferior Pei sian officials, and had difficulty in
protecting their pupils. Owing to the en-
ergetic efforts of the minister, which found
a ready response fl rom the shah, the school
was finally put upon firm basis, although
it was found necessary to caution all of the
mission stations to observe very carefully
the treaty stipulations and refrain from ex-
tending refuge to Persian subjects.

SERVICES AT THE JAIL.

Strained Relations Between the War;
den and the, y. NJ. c. A.
The officers and workers of the Central
Union Mission, it is said, feel that Warden
Leonard of the District jail has not treated
them with that consideration and justice
which they believe is due them. AS a re-
suit of this feeling it is understood that the
District Supreme Court will be requested
to investigate certain charges which may
be preferred against Mr.. Leonard by the
officers of the Central Union Mission.
The Sunday exercises at the Jail were,
however, discontinued last fall at the time
of the smallpox scare from motives of eau
ton. .'-t...~
AS result Of a consulta ton between Mr..
Leonard and the court the warden was
directed to discontinue the practice until
all danger was surely past. The members
of the Y. NJ. c. A. and of the Central Union
Mission have felt for some time. it is said,
that such danger has passed. and it is I'M
derstood they have requested Warden
Leonard to allow them to resume the serv-
ices. Their request has been refused.
To Star reporter Warden Leonard stated
this afternoon that he had always en-
deavored to treat the members Of all the
various religious associations who come to
the Jail In as agreeable manner as possible
He had no desire or intention of ever re-
SlFlCllnS lQelF Efforts Wnen Iney Ola not
interfere with the Jail rules, and in refus-
ing the prisoners permission to attend the
services in the prison rotunda he had
acted under the express authority of the
court.
Mr.. Leonard stated that he had no OBJ
lection whatever to religious workers Wis
iting the prison, and now that the danger
from smallpox has passed away, he al
lowed such visitors to pass from cell to
cell for the purpose of talking and praying
with the prisoners. The colored workers.
he explained, held services in the rotunda
but the prisoners were not allowed to as
semble there.
They were. however, allowed to come out
of their cells and congregate on the plat
forms of the different tiers of the wings.
In that way the prisoners could see and
hear all the services, and that privilege he
would gladly grant to the workers from the
Y. NJ. c. A. and from the Central Union
Mission. There was great danger in allow
ing hundred more prisoners to as
Semble in the rotunda, said Mr.. Leonard
and for that reason the court had directed
him to discontinue such gatherings. The
statement, said Mr. Leonard, that he had
charged the Central Union Mission with
the cost of repairing benches was not true
1t was learned by a Star reporter this
afternoon that the District Supreme Court
felt that Warden Leonard had simply obey
ed the instructions of the court. and that
the court had no reason to find fault with
him in the matter.

HELD UP IN NEW JERSEY.
Crime of Two Masked Highway men
Near BridgetOn.

Walter Crosse and Jos. Carman were held
up Wednesday by two masked highway
men. while driving along a deserted road
in the eastern end of Bridgeton, N. ]. The
two men seized their horse, and. drawing
their revolvers. ordered the two young men
to throw up their hands. One of the rob-
bers then climbed into the wagon: and,
placing his revolver close to the heads of
the frightened men. searched their pockets
He secured ten dollars and a small re-
volver. They then ordered the men to
drive on. and the highwaymen disappeared
in the bushes.
They wore sacks over their heads, and
their hands were concealed by gloves.
They are probably the same parties who
held up and robbed Mr.. and Mrs. Stratton
one night last week, and who SO cruelty
beat the Misses Brown at their home in
Hopewell township.

The Close Of an Interesting Annual
Meeting.
MANY PAPERS PRESENTED TODAY
Prof. Cope Speaks Of a New Kind
of Cetacea.
WILL MEET NEXT FALL

The National Academy of Sciences met
this afternoon and took up it's program of
papers to be presented. Gen. Francis A.
Walker presided. There was limited at
tendance of members of the academy. and
the audience of outsiders, owing to the I'M
certainty as to just when the business
meetings would terminate and permit the
open meetings to begin, was still smaller.
Papers Read Today.
Prof. E. D. Cope presented, in the hour
preceding lunch, an interesting summary
of information on whales, contrasting and
comparing fossil forms with existing spe-
cies. In the course of his paper he an
nounced that he had found a new species
presenting the popularity of a dental
groove, ossified and established, a forma-
ton hitherto known only in foetal specf-
mems. The paper presented classifications
and conclusions based on data. which, ow-
ing to the ponderoSity of specimens, their
infrequency and the cost of transportation
have been accumulated only by long years
Of research.
Other Subjects Presented.
At o'clock the academy reassembled
and proceeded with the reading of papers
Prof. G. Brown Goode presented an inter.
esting paper on the application of per
centage method in the study of the distri
button of oceanic fishes, with definition

magistrate if he wished to say anything
in reply. Wilde answered: Not at pres
emit

piicat:on for bail. but the presiding mag
istrate replied that in his opinion the Of
Tense was SO grave and he considered the

PRIMROSE DAY.


General Celebration in Memory of
RencOnsfield.
LONDON. April 19.-Primrose day, the
fourteenth anniversary of the death of
Lord Beaconsfield, is being celebrated in
this city and throughout England, as
usual, although there seems to be a change
in the manner of observing the day. The
of the primrose is more extensive than
ever today, but the shop windows and the
fronts of houses where the conservatives
We're wont to display floral and other en-
blems in honor of the great conservative
leader are conspicuous by the absence of
decoration. The Beaconsfield statue in Par
lament square was not forgotten, but there
were fewer flowers left there today than
usual.
