BRUTAL ASSAULT
The Mother of the Late Charles
Stewart Parnell Attacked
Near Her Home
At |R0NSIDES, new JERSEY
She Remains unconscious and COnSe
quently There Is Much
Mystery.

BoRpENTowN, y. j., April l9.-Mrs.
Della S. Parnell, mother of the late
Stewart Parnell, who lives at lrons!des,
overlooking the Delaware river near
there, was found bleeding and uncon-
scious at late hour last night by Chas.
Casey, son of the farmer who has charge
of the farm at Ironsldes. While de-
scending the hill which makes the boun-
Diary of the property formerly occupied
by Mrs. Parnell's father. young Casey
heard means. Hurrying to the spot he
found Mrs. Parnell lying beside fence
with her face covered with blood. By
her side were two small pieces of board,
a piece of fence paling about three feet
long and brick. Help was obtained
and she was carried to the home of Far
mer Casey. Dr. w. H. Ships, who was
hastily summoned. made an examina-
ton and found that besides several
bruises about the face the woman had
lacerated wound on the right side of her
head Mrs. Parnell is unconscious, and
because of her advanced age her condi-
ton is regarded as critical. The author
tiles are unable to determine whether
she was assaulted or fell and received
the injuries. Her handbag was found
alongside the railroad track near by with
the pocketbook missing and papers scat
tered in all directions. This circum-
stance lends probability to the theory
that she was brutally assaulted and
robbed. Mrs. Parnell frequently came
to this place at night and remained until
a late hour. She was here last night
At noon Mrs. Parnell still lies uncon-
scious. The authorities are convinced
that she was assaulted and robbed, and
have sent kilograms to all nearby cities
and towns asking that a lookout be kept
for man Of medium height with a
smooth face, wearing light overcoat and
Derby hat, who was seen in the vicin-
ity about the time the assault is believed
to have been committed.

civil or political purposes; but all civil
political or public corporations are not
municipal corporations"
The supreme court of Wisconsin in
Eaton vs. Supervisors, ETC., Al Wis, 4S0.
says: I'm the proviso to section l. chap
ter liz, lawe 1867, the word counties of
municipal corporations include cities
and villages and any other municipal
corporation. strictly SO called, but do not
include school districts or other quasi
corporations"
In article II, section 7, is found this
language: 1.-The power to tax corpora
llons or corporate properties shall never
be rellnquished or suspended, and all
corporations in this state or doing bust
ness therein, shall be subject to taxation
Tor state, county, school, municipal, and
other purposes on real and personal
property" etc.
Ii it had been the intention of the
trainers or our constitution to consider
school districts as municipal corporations
there would seem to be no necessity for
the use OF the word 'echool" in that Sec
ton. Evidently distinction was in the
minds OF the trainers of the law between
school purposes and municipal" pur-
poses.
Again, in section of article 12 we find
this language:
"The property of the United States,
the state, counties, towns, school dis.
trlcts, municipal corporations and public
Libraries shall be exempt from taxation,
and such other property as may be used
exclusively for agricultural and horti-
cultural societies, for educational pur-
poses, places for actual religious wor-
ship, etc.
1t would appear that distinction was
maintained and kept in view by the
trainers of the organic act; else why the
necessity for using the expressions
"school districts" and municipal corpo-
rations?' If a school district is MUM
cipal corporation, then the words school
district AZ used in that section are
wholly imperative and without force
ana effect. 1t is fair to presume that
both terms would not have been used
had not some distinction between them
both been kept in view.

England Proposes to Collect From Mic
aragua at Once.
WASHINGTON, April 10 Officials and
diplomats regard the answer Of Lord
Kimberly to Nicaragua, made yesterday,
as bringing the British NicaraguaE ques-
ton to critical stage 1t is considered
settled that Great Britain will now pro-
ceed to collect the debt, as it is viewed
from the British standpoint.
The British mode of action against
Nicaragua will be passive blockade of
all Nicaraguan ports, thus crippling To-
cal commerce. but not interfering with the
United States or other foreign COM
merce. The latest information received
here shows that Great Britain can at
once bring to bear two formidable fleets
for blockading purposes, one on the Pa
ctic side and the other on the Atlantic.
Two fleets, 10 ships in ALL are varously
located, but all could be rendezvoued
for demonstration of force.

1t Is Overshadowing the West and Spread
ing Eastward.
There is no denying that the most
conspicuous feature Of politics at the
present time is the active agitation
which has been started in favor of free
coinage of silver by the people of the
western states. The action of the Hi
nois state democratic committee in call
ing for delegate convention to discuss
the currency question, referred to in
these columns few days ago, is only
one out of many significant inetances.
In Minnesota proposition has been
made to unite the silver republicans and
democrats in advance of the campaign
year. In Chicago it is reported that Mr.
Clarkson, who recently placed Harrison
in nomination as "receptive' candidate,
is about to start free silver organ.
Senatorelect Steve Elkins of West Vir-
ginia has proclaimed himself in favor OF
free coinage. In Tennessee the call of
the business men of Memphis for a
convention of sound money advocates
has been answered from Nashville by the
passage of resolution in the state SEN
ate in favor Of free coinage at the ratio
of lG to |. In Nebraska the situation
as expressed in Mr.. Buchanan's letter to
Secretary Morton, is that ION the naked
question of a lG to silver platform Ne,
braska would give it a majority of fifty
thousand or near it," Even the college
boys are taking up the question, AT
the recent convention of the American
Republican College league at Grand
Rapids the platform adopted declares
icr "protection and bimetallism.'
II Ie not surprising that ey. Senator
Miller,returuing from visit to the west
describes the furor over free coinage as
''cyclone.' 1t is certainly cloud il
the polite sky,and in this case. insteac
of the proverbial silver lining, the who!t
cloud is silver.-New York World.

paying no attention to the proceedings.
The list of charges of gross indecency
against Wilde was read. He was asked
by the magistrate il he wished to say
