DEATH OF MR PARNELL.

London, Oct. 7. ' The death is announced of Mr Charles Stewart Parnell, aged 15. He caught a - drill while in bed on Friday, and it developed into acute rheumatism. He was unconscious for several hours, and died at midnight yesterday, in inteaise agony. He was staying at Brighton. Mrs Parnell’s solicitors have received an unsigned telegram stating that Mr Parnell committed suicide. Mr Parnell’s last appearance in public was on Sunday week. He left Ireland on Thursday, suffering from a chill, which developed into rheumatism, and he died unconscious in the presence of his wife only. There was immense excitement in Dublin when the news became known. Business was, stopped for a time, and many persons were moved to tears. The National Federation, which was sitting m Dublin, has adjourned. A prominent Parnellite declares that t the death of the leader, so far from ' healing, will widen the breach in the Irish party. Mr Justin McCarthy srid to an interviewer that he was inexpressibly grieved and shocked at Mr Parnell’s sudden death, though it would bring peace and heal the breach between the two sections of the: Irish party. They would now join forces again, and place the cause of, Home Rule beyond danger. The Parnellities are holding a conference in Dublin. T,HE CASE OF CAPTAIN DUNBAR, Captain Frederick Dunbar, late of the Imperial army, has now reached his eighty-seventh year, and has lived a life of great vicissitudes. In T 839 Captain Dunbar was invalided home after a long residence in the tropics, the Medical I Board declaring that- his life would be forfeited with another month’s residence in that malarial climate ; so far gone was his strength that the medical men advised the sale of his captain’s commisson for the benefit of his sons—which, as . Captain Dunbar puts it, he very foolishly agreed to, thus losing the chance of promotion which took place 80 greatly during, the Crimean war. Captain Dunbar has lived in Australasia for many years and has seen some of the most ’ stirring ’ times known in these colonies. He has witnessed the birth and growth of the marvellous city of Melbourne, and would have been one of Australia’s wealthiest residents, but for the unfortunate miscarriage of remittances from Europe at the time of the first Government land sale in Melbourne, the money being sent out for the express purpose of purchasing land ; which is at the present moment probably worth two thousand pounds per foot! Some years back Captain Dunbar contracted a hernia caused by over exertion in manual employment ; a week afterwards hydocee set in. He underwent many operations, all of which ended in no permanent benefit, and the complaint finally ended in chronic biabetes with its usual symptoms: excessive secretion, of water, aching limbs, headaches, ’ loss of appetite, weakness, &o. He read of the wonderful effects of using Clements Tonic and commenced its use, and with most satisfactory results; the secretion of water decreasing almost simultaneously' with the use of this medicine, the appetite returned, and so gratified was the captain that he wrote to the proprietors of Clements Tonic as follows : “ Rosewood, Ipswich, (Q.), Sept. 7th, 1890. Dear sir, —Having taken several bottles of Clements Tonic, I am happy to inform you that it has resulted in a great benefit to my health. I can now get a good night’s rest and great relief from the diabetes which formerly troubled me so much that I had to, rise from bed every ten minutes the night through, the amount of water varying from eight to ten pints per night. It is si ow reduced to one pint, my appetite is good, and I have no doubt that, with Ood’ja blessing, a few more bottles of Clements Tonic will free me from this great plague and my thanks will be due to you. This letter being the pure truth, you are at liberty io publish it if you think fit.—Believe me, yours faithfully, Frederick Dunbar/* Captain Dunbar will answer any enquires if a stamped envelope is sent with letter of enquiry, but the most that enquirers can expect is that Capt. Dunbar will say -that the above accounj is true; to expect more would be unreasonable. LABOUR. London,' Oct. 6. One hundred and forty free laborers have arrived at the Carron wharf to take the place of those on strike, and this time the police appear to be more energetic in preventing them being molested. A few carmen and waggons have also been engaged. At the Conference between seamen and firemen, Wilson Secretary of the former’s Union, condemned the Shipping Federation for employing bogus sailors. Work on the wharves is at a standstill. A hundred and twenty-five workmen at the Imperial Institute buildings have struck against the Employment of Unionists. Tom Mann has publicly stated that the men are on the eve of terrible disaster unless cautloU is displayed in negotiations at the present juncture. The lightermen, yielding to pressure, have given way and joined the strike. Ottawa, Oct. 7.

A portion of the lumbermen, who went out on strike, have returned to work, the masters having conceded shorter hours.

Holloway’s Pills. Nervous Irnt ability. —No part of the human machine requires more constant supervision than the nervous system—for upon it our health—and even life —depends. These Pills Strengthen the nerves and are the safest general purifiers of the blood. Nausea, headache, giddiness, numbness and mental apathy yield to them. They relieve in a summary manner those distressing dispeptic Bjmptoms, stomachic pains, fulness at the pit of the stomach, abdominal distension, and regulate alike capricious appetites and confined bowels—the commonly l'accompanying signs of defective or diminished merye tone. Holloway’s Pills axe particularly recommended to persons of studious and sedentary habits, who gradually fall into a mervous and irritable state, unless some be occasionally taken.
