ANOTHER PARNELL.
A rather extraordinary tele-
gram has been published in the
Mew York paper*, to the effect
that Michael Davitt is to aid a
movement among the Parnellites,
Dlllooltes and Healyites for the
purpose of having them unite
oodsr the leadership of John
Howard Parnell, brother of the
late Charles Stewart Parnell.
If there be any truth in the
statement, It is evident that the
members of the Irish party wish
to pay a tribute to the dead lead-
er who led them to so many victo-
ries, and who was described by
an Bngllsh opponent as the great-
est parliamentary tactician of half
a century.
John Howard Parnell is now a
member of parliament, so that be
has become better acquainted with
the methods of parliamentary
warfare than had his deceased
brother when, answering to a
question put by one of the col-
leagues as to how he should mas-
tor the rules of the house, he re-
plied that they were to be learned
by breaking them. Mr. Parnell,
too, has spent most of his years in
this conntry, so that bis selection
would be a recognition of the aid
which the leaders of the struggle
for land reform and home rule
have received from American
sympathizers.
Whether he possesses his broth-
er's power of leading men, of com
palling the English parties to take
sognizanoe of Ireland's demands,
has yet to be tested. In Parneirs
early days no one imagined that
he -would ever become a leader
with whom Gladstone and Sails
bury were both glad to make
While John Howard Par-
na startling
Ides several scenic ef
fects that are a marvel of stage-
craft. An outlay of a large sum
of money by these inimitable pan-
tominists results in one of the
most realistic stage productions
before the public. The last act is
entirely new aud will convince our
theater goers that the Brothers
Byrne are head and shoulder over
other artists on the pantomimic
stage. Everything has been per-
fected in detail.
part of the hip bone were soon
found aud at the edge of the fire a
small knot of fine hair, with sev-
eral hair pics was found
In the ashes weie found, in ad-
diti n to the human remains a
pair of hinges and a number ol
nails aud a piece of pine plank.
The bones, teeth and hair were
unquestionably portions ot the
lK)dy of a white woman who was
doubtless burned there. An in
quest was held, which developed
what is thought to be a murder.
A negro woman passing through
the woods Monday afternoon saw
a big fire and wondered what it
was, so she walked nearer and
noon saw a wagon aud horses
hitched. Some distance away, but
near the fire, was a man and as
soon as he saw her he pulled his
hat down over his eyes and step-
ped behind a tree. The woman,
having satisfied her curiosity,
walked away, but she thought it
strange that people traveling
through the country should drive
so far away from the public road
to camp and that they should need
such a huge fire to cook with.
It is coujectuied from all that
has been thus far learned that a
white woman was murde
some u Ac I "^jViscH an u tn ere m ai n s
packed in a big tiunk and carried
through the conntry until a con-
venient place was found for dis-
posing of them. Wishing to cover
all traces of the deed, fire was de-
cided upon as the most effective
element to accomplish the pur
pose and it was by the merest ac-
cident that it was discovered.
Officers went at once from there to

When the time arrived for the
meeting of the silver clnb last
night the crowd at the conrl house
was small, but like the peach of
emerald hue "it grew, it grew,"
until one wonld have found it a
hard matter to believe that an-
other "democratic" meeting was
being held only a block away.
Chaiiman Bell called for the re-
ports of the various committees
appointed at the last meeting, bnt
no oommlttees could Bubmit a
complete report and they were in-
structed to be ready at the next
meeting. It was stated, however,
by those having the music in
charge, that the Gainesville band
of fourteen pieces had been secur-
ed and a contract signed.
Charley Fox, M. J. Dobbins
and O. N. Briscoe were appointed
to see the merchants of the city
regarding the decoration of their
places of business on the day of
the rally.
Fifteen speakers have been in-
vited for the occasion and a letter
of acceptance has been received
from A. H. DeShields. This an-
nouncement brought forth a round
of cheers, as Mrr DeShields is one
of the very best orators in Texas.
The club decided that 300
torches would be sufficient and
ordered that number.
The club contributed 825 to the
national campaign fund and or-
dered that amonnt sent at once.
President Bell and Secretary
Thompson will receive mottoes for
the transparencies until Monday
night. Any one who can possibly
contribute a suitable motto of not
more than twelve words is asked
to send it in early on Monday.
There will be a meeting of the
club next Thursday night and an-
other on Monday night just pre-
ceding the election, at which time
workers will be selected and their
election day duties assigned them.
After a brief and breezy talk by
H. L. Stuart, during which the
speaker gave evidence of being
well supplied with laughable
jokes, the club adjourned.

Bienham, Tex., Oct. 23.—A
startling story reached Brenham
thij morning by a messenger di-
rect from the scene. As Lena
Harris, a negro who lives near
Whitman, was passing through
the woods three miles north of
Whitman yesterday morning, he
noticed the smoldering remains of
what seemed to nave been a large
camp fire. The top of an immense
tree had foimerly lain there and
the fire had been built in this
brush heap. Harris kicked over
the ashes and was startled to find
portions of several boues which
appeared to be human. A part
of a woman'* shoe was next dis-
covered and the negro waited no
longer, but hastened for the near-
est justice of the peace, J. R.
Moore of Washington.
The officer, accompanied by Mr.
Brewer, ariived at about noon and
a more careful search was made.
In the ashes of the camp fire a
portion of a skull, the teeth'and a
