THE GREAT IRISH - LEADER UNEX- PECTEDLY PASSES AWAY the Ef- At Brlzbton. Ensland. From fects ot a Chill and Acute II lieu ma tlsm -Universal Sorrow and Reeret Expressed by Politi cal Friends. London, Oct. 7. Parnell died at Brighton last night. Parnell's death was the result of a chill caught last week. He took to his bed on Friday oh at Valsln?ham Terrace at 11:30 last night. nreat Britain and Ireland were startled this mornins bv the utter ly uninnlferi for announcement that Charles S. Parnell, the noted Irish leader died suddenly yesterday evening at his home in Brighton. It has been that Parnell has not enjoyed tv.oKcathAn.lih for vears' past, and It has Keen noticed, and widely comment ed on, that since the O'Shea divorce rievelnnment8 became a matter ot pu'o- Uo. notoriety and since his political trouble came upon him, that the great Irish Member of Parliament had grown thinner and that he had perceptibly aged in appearance. But nobody ex pected to near Oi nis, ueavu, auuiv inkling as to his illness had ' reached the newspapers. Only at this hour only 1 p. m. ha& it been possible to obtain details in re gard to the death of Parnell, He died at his home at Walslngham Terrace, Brighton, at 11:30 yesterday evening. His death is said to have been indi rectly due to a chill, which he took last week, and which at nrst was not regarded as being of a serious nature. Mr. Parnell, however, grew worse and a physician was oalled in with the re sult that Parnell was ordered to take his bed. This was Friday last, and fr-m that- time Mr. Parnell lost strength and finally Buccumbed. The ex act nature of the disease which caused the death of the Irish leader is not made known at present. From the day he took to his bed, however, the state of Mr. Parnell's health has been tn nenetwitate the constant at tention of physicians, but in spite registering, which were Incurred before the split in the party." "Before the divorce proceedings, said Mr. McCarthy, in conclusion, I was a close friend of Mr. rarneii wnom I admired intensely. Mr. Parnell con sulted me in regard to the lamentable manifesto and I used all efforts in en deavoring to prevent him from Issuing it to the public. My idea was mat me issuance of the manifesto would make his further leadership oi tne xrisn party an utter impossibility." The aboye is about the substance of what Mr. McCarthy said, hut it was evident that he and members of his party were deeply affected at Mr. Parnell's death, and that all feeling of animosity to the great Irish leader had sunk beneath the flood of sorrow caused by his sudden and untimely death. . Madrid, Oct. 7. The fire, which ac cording to the dispatch sent here at midnight from Santander, had broken out in the hospital and had spread with alarming rapidity, has been ex tinguished. It was at first said that f our teen houses in Calle Cisneros,and eight houses in Calle Monte, were doomed. This report seems to have been a good estimate of the damage likely to be done by the flames, as it is now found that twenty-tnree nouses iu iud streets referred to have been destroyed.

Coupled with the announcement this morning that Mr, Ta,.nii MpA Inst niffht was the news that Sir John Pope H-.nncSsey was also dead. Sir John Pope Hennessey, it will be remembered immediately after the exposure in the O'Shea di vorce case in December, 1S90, contested the North Kilkenny election backed up ell's nnnoaents and defeated Parnell's candidate, Mr. Vincent Scully by 1,147 votes. This was the great and possibly the greatest test ot strength between the Parnellites and McCarthy ites, and the def at of Scully no doubt counted for a great deal in the disasters which beleil the Irish leader. LONDON, Oct. 7. Another accoivat of Mr. Parnell's fatal sickness Is as fol lows: Mr. Parnell arrived at his home at Br'ghton from Irtland Thur&j'.jy, and complained of suffering from a chill. On the Friday following he was unable to leave his bed, and Lis regu lar phyeician was summoned. He seemed to have considered Parnell s illness to have been oi a serious naiuie, for he soon Bent for another physician with whom he held a long consultation over the sickness of the Irish leader. This consultation of physicians was resumed Sunday, when Mr. jrarnen was found to be in great pain and ap parently growing weaker every hour. His sickness was pronounced to be an attack of acute rheumatism, and every attention and care was paid to the. sur ferer. He was carefully and " un tiringly nursed by his wife, who hardly left his bedside from the moment her husband's illness was pronounced to be or a senuua nature. Mr. Parnell, In spite of the care and attention which he received, did not seem to rally Irom tne rueuuia tlsm and grew weaker and weaker. Several hours before his death Mr. Parnell became unconscious and so re mained until he died in intense agony. Owing to the suddenness of the Irish, leader's Illness, and to the beiei of his wife and of attending physicians that he would recover, no friends or relatives of his family or that of Mrs. Parnell were present at Parnell's bed side when he died. Mrs. Parnell and tkn nkven nns WP.ffl alOne in aiiieuu- ance upon him when he died. LONDON, Oct. 7,--In this city par ticularly, the news of Mr. Parnell b death came down like a thunderbolt upon the clubs and In political circles. Nobody, so far as at first known, was even aware that he was indisposed, and consequently when it became known that he was dead, the first idea formed was that ne naa cooiwuibu suicide. As the dav wore on, however, it leaked out Irom a statement oi nis intimale friends tnai no uu plained to them recently of not feeling as well as usual, but it was not thought by anybody that there was anything dangerous in his condition. The last time Mr, Parnell appeared in public was at Cregs, in Ireland, Sep tember 27th, when be delivered a long speech upon tue aiwsuue ttu incoLsistencits of Messrs. Dillon ar.d O'Brien. Upon that occasion Mr. Par nell stated that he was speaking in de fiance of the orders of the doctors who attending him. and who had ex pressly ordered him to keep to his room. He carried his left arm in a sling and explained to inquirers that he was suffering from rheumatism. Telegrams from Dublin and other towns in Ireland and, the Iprwcipal towns of England, unite in ru-s that the leath of Mr. Parnell has caused the greatest sensation among ms supporter?, principally on account o.iriden manner in which he died. In Dublin Mr. Parnell's supporters are in a state of consternation. A meeting f.tanlis Was hastllv called so soon as the news of his death became known, and it was decided that a meeting of all hie Tollowers should be called for this evening, to consider what steps to tX in the face of the diastrous event TtlfIew todav Justin MeCar- Mr. Parnell. ?e hoped it wou lead Charleston Wo.ld "P--- nTmong icen in general and sableston, S.
