CAPTAIN O'SHEA THE PETITIONER The Linson Alleged to Have Been Carried on for the Past Threo or Four Years and at Various Places. Tondon’s Liatest Sensation. [Copyright 18596y Jamss Gordon Rennett.) LoxpoN, Dec. 28.—|New York Herald Cable—Special to Tne Bee. | —The sen sation of the dayof course is the divorce suit brought by William Henry O’Shoa against his wife, with Charles Stewart Parnell us co- respondent, Captain O'Shea gives his ad- dress as 224 Victoria street, Westminster, and his océupation as justice of tho peace, County Clare, Ireland. The ground alleged by O'Shea is tho infidelity of his wife with Parnell at Eltham, York Terrace, Brighton wnd Aldington. According 1o an informant, Parnell has lived for a considerablo time since 1886 at Eltham with Mrs, O'Shea, and ut this place both lived secluded lives. O’Shea has ubout the same reputation here as in Amer- fea. In both countries it has long boen sup- posed that he has long kuown of the inti- macy between bis wife and Parneil, and also that Parnell found a seat for O'Shea in parliament on account of the unremitting blindness*of O'Shea to the constant infidelity of Mrs, O'Shea. Ameri- cans will remember how the Irish in Ireland were on the point of revolt against Parnoll’s leadership when he insisted that O'Shea should be given a seat in varliament. Per- haps because 1t will prove unusually annoy- ing at this juncture, O'Shea has brought the suit. O’Shea has a handsome quarter in Victoria street, where he lives with his son, He admitted tonight that the report that he bad brought the suit was correct, but wondered how it had become public. The news was that Mr. O'Shea has brought suit for divorce, making Mr. Parnell co- respondent, will not surprise those who have been behind the scenes during the past three or four years, Some such denouement as this has been impending for a long time past, and on several occasions the good offices of friends have been called into requisition with a view of averting the scandal. Mr. or Captain O'Shea has threatened legal proceedings on several occasions, and many of the followers of Parnell have been aware of the fact, and it has not tended to sweeten the 1utercourse between the Uncrowned ing and his more or less obedient subjects. From time to time, however, an explosion has been smoth- ered or postponed, and if it 18 to come at length it is almost a matter of certainty that some awkward revelations must take place. In the parhament of 1885 a well dressed, somewhat showy-looking man made his appearance on the Irish He generally wore a frock coat with a flower in the buttoahole, and was altogether very unlike the careless, somewhat slipskod group who usually rep- resent the nationalists in the house, and who are meant for use rathor than ornament. ‘Who was the stranger thus attired as for a bridal party. 1t was Captain O'Shea. He had coveted the honor of & seat in parlia- ment, and Parnell, beiug perhaps in an obliging humor just then, haa found one for him, but it was not done without difficulty, ‘The constituency singled out for the "honor had nov at first sight taken very kindly to O'Shea, It had to be coaxed, perhaps some pressure was brought to bear upon it. Several of the Irish membors protested against their new colleague, The redoubta- ble Tim Healy was yery wroth and made things very warm for O'Shea. He1s a very ugly man to come across when he Is angry, is Tim Healy, The seat, however, was se- cured and the now member made his appear- ance as full of pride and delight as a young lady 8t her firat ball. That was the opeming of O'Sheas parliamentary experience. Fhe close was Dot 80 vleasant, and it came a good deal sooner than the gallant captain had anticipated. He did not find himself among very congenial sur- roundings. His countrymen did not take him into their hearts and shed tears of joy over him, On the contrary, he was treated to a very liberal allowance of !cold shoulder, and some very unkind remarks were made i his hearing when .he went into the lobbles, He was not entertaned with sgreeable conversation, There were frequent sltercatious to mar his com- placency, and the groat authority of the leader himself failed to protect his friend from usages which no one need be particu- larly anxious to encounter, Onoday it was announced that O'Shea had resigned. Why! For the same reason that he hud entered parliament—becatise he wanted to. Then O'Shea made his appear- ance as a witness on the Parnell commission, Great revelations were expected, but nothing very wonderful came, It had been rumored that the captain had obtained from ks wife letters gravely compromising Par- nell, Whether such letters were in exist- ence or not, it is impossible to say. At sny rate, they were not printed before the three zes, Parnell occasionally cast piersing glances at O'Shea as he gave his evidence, and the ex-M, P. calmly returned it. Evidently there was no- love lost between them., The captain's evidence fell flat, Somehow or othr the gun had missed fire, Aud now a comedy or drama is to be ad- vanced into anothier act. The divorce suit must at least be a source of great annoyance to Parnell, to say notning of the lady, Will at be defended! ‘That seews a curious ques - - tion to ask about a divorce case, but thetruth is, the whole affair is very curious. It has been @ theme of conversation for several years. Tho Eltham business has long been talked off, One night a piece of puper was picked up in the lobby of the house of com- * mons and opened by the finder. It was from a lady to the Irish leader. Some people saud it was shown to Captain O'Shea. However that may be, it was talked about in less than half an bour, but there may have been nothing in the bit of paper after all, or perhaps only an address or an invitation, yet such Incidents as this set people talking, and now they will talk still wore. Who is innocent wnd who is guilty it would be very rash in- deed to predict, but we may expect to see some of the “nationalist papers speak out thoir minds freely about O'Shea now that he has cast off all disquise and .entered boldly upon the warpath. Thers will be & smash, and the great Eitham wmystery will b2 cleared up after many falso alarms, A Menuer oF PaARLIAME! —-— A Revolution in S8an vador, La Lisenoap, Dec, 28.—A revolution has broken out in the departincut Cuscattan, Bulvador.

The Wife ot Dom Pedro Numbered Among Ua Grippe's Victims. 1Copyright 1589 by James Gordon Bennett.] Liswox, Dec. 28.—[New York Herald Cable—Special to Tue Bee]—The Em- press of Brazil died at Oporto this morning. Her condition was reported to be much im- proved this morning. Her death was sudden and peaceful and is attributed to a cold caughton herarrival at Lisbon. The emperor was in tho academy of fine arts when the news was brought to him. He was utterly dazed by it. The king of Portugal had just returned to the palace from the acclamation ceremonies when a telegram reached him informing him of the death of the empress, - The duke De Pallma recoived a simiar telegram, and an order was immediatoly fssued to stop the gala performance at the opera, The dinner at the palace, to which the officers of the Amer- 1can synadron were invited, was not held, aud an order was issued postponing tomor- row's militery review. Great consternation reigns at the Hotel Braganza, whero many Brazilian friends of the empress and emperor resided, The em- ress departed hence on account of an at- tack of la grippe, or bad cold, aud went to Oporto. Everybody here noticed the wealk- ness of the empress, who remarked upon it herself a few days ago to Mrs. George B. Loring. It ia supposed that the empress will e buried at Lisbon. Concrete Gratitude Prophesied, New Yonk, Dec. 28.—Charles R. Flint re- cewved from a correspondent in Brazl, who is one of the leadirg republicans of the north, a letter to the effect that the Brazil- iens have been very much pleased with the support and sympathy of the press of the United States which is in markad contrast to many articles which have been received from the press of Europe. This fact, Flint states, is going to have a most beneficial effect in cementing and furthering the trade relations between the great republics, North and South Amorica. bt R AFTER FOUR OTHERS, The Cronin Prosecution After the Scalps of More Conspirators. Cnicaco, Dec. 28.—|Spacial Telegram to Tae Bee.]—A dispatch from Philadelphia today qucted Attornoy Hynes, one of the counsel for the state 1n the Cronin case, as saying: “There are four more men who fig- ure in the case who will yet be indicted and brought to trial.” Judge Longenecker, when shown this dispatch, said: “Thatis right, Mr. Hynes only says what we have all believed for months past. In fact, I reaily believe. there are more than four conspirators who have not yet been apprehended. We are far from being through with that murder case.” *Who are the others!" “Well, there 18 the man Simonds, who bought the furniture. Coone y, a certain in- dividual whose name I cannot mention, but who was on the witness stand, and the man who was the arch couspirator. These four men we know have at least guilty knowledgo of the crime, but we cunnot prove it just now, and Mr. Hynes is right when he says it would be premature to indict them now, although we have important information in our possession, It may be worthless beforo these men or any of them are placed on trial for this conspiracy, but I believe we will be able to do it at last. I also agree with Mr. Hynes in what he says about the prisoners being pardoned,” said the state attorney. “I don’t think any gov- ernor of this state wonld dare pardon them. ‘Phe case has occupied too prominent a posi- tion in the public mind, It would be good- bye to that man's political power if he med- dled with the conspiratora or the murder of Dr. Cronin. More than that, the public ‘would not allow it.”” Nothing new in conncction with the jury bribery case has transpired in the state's attorney’s offices, ——— THE 10WA SENATORSHIP, Allison Refuses to Say Much On the Subject.

Brilliant Assemblage of Royalty Witnesses the Exercises at the Palace—Salutations from the Harbor Cannon. The New Ruler of Portugal. 1Copyright 1839 by James Gordon Benn Lisnoy, Deo, 98.—[New York Herald Cable.~Special to Tme Bre]—At sunriso this morning the booming of cannon from every fort on the land and from every ship of war on the Tagus awoke the drowsy Lisboners from their beds and reminded them most emphatically that today is the acelamation day of the new king, Carlos L. True, his majesty had assumed the crown on the death of the late King Lowis, Octobor 19, but today the legality of his accession had to be confirmed. In a word, it had been sanctioned by the public and is a con- stitutional acclamation, hence today's cere- monies. The Portuguese are fond of pageants and arrange them with the greatest taste. At o'clock the actual business ot the day began, At that bovr an cxtraordinary sitting of the cortes had been called, at which all the min- isters atteuded 1n uniform and all tho chief officers of stato and the diplomatic corps with their wives, in court costumes, It may easily be imagined that this formed a bril- liant assemblage. The number of strangers was few, owing to the limitation for space, For duys the military had been arriving from the provinces, and soldiers lined the streets from Ajuda palace to the cortes, A brilliant sight was the -procession of the royal carriages throngh the rauks of the soldiers, and all the time the guns kept banging away and the bells from every church rang forth a joy- ous welcome to the young king and the beau- tiful queen of Portugal, On the arrivalof their majesties at the cortes they were received in the corridor of the palace by a deputation of the legislative chamber, which formed itself into a guard of honor to conduct them into the cortes. Beside their majesties walkeda the patriarch of Lisboa, the grand almoner, the master of the household, the gentlemen in waitingand the adjutaut of the king,all in brilliant court costume, There were also the ladies in wuiting to the queen in court dress. @Then the gorgeous crimson cloth which covered the turone was drawn back and re- vealed two thrones, beautiful works of art, of gold and crimson, surrounded by the royal crown of Portugal. Their majesties then mounted the dais and Don Carlos took berlain 1n waiting. At the same time the sergeant-at-arms, 1, Alfonso, took & posi- tion next to the king, holding the royal sword aloft in front of the throne, where stood the ministry, headed by Senor De Cas- tro Peraria Carte, real president of the council, and Senor De Barros Gomes, min- ister of foreign affairs, and the councillors of state. The president of tho senate, supported by two nobles of the highest rank, then ad- vanced and presented the king with the Santos Evaugellos, with a cross placed upon it, The king changed his sceptre over into his left band and, placing bis right on the holy book and cross, repeated in a loud, firm voice the oath embodied in article 6 of the constitution, as follows: “I swear to uphold the Catholic apostolic aud Roman religion, the integrity of the kingdom, to observe and to ~ause to be ob- served the polhtical constitution of the Por- tuguese nation and the other laws of the kingdom, and to promote tiie general welfare of the nation to the best of my ability.” The oath having been taken and a short speech made by the kiog, the royal standard bearar unfurled the royal banner, a magnifi- cent specimen of workmanship, The president of tho senate, still standing in front of the king, then replied to Carlos’ spcech, and at its conclusion, raising his voice and being joined by all present, ha pro- nounced the acclamation, *“To the very hich and powerful and most faithful king of Por- tugal, Carlos 1" As soon as the echoes of the acclamation had ceased the standard bearer, with the flowing banuer, courtesying, stepped on the tribune erected before the center windows of tho palace of the cortes, accompanied by the king- at-arms, the bearers of the mace and shields and tho heralds. Thence the king-at-arms cried out to the vast crowd of people assembled below: “Attention!” Attention!” Attention!" and the standard bearer, raising his voice, said: “Royal, very powerful and most 'faithful king, Don Carlos 1" ‘Tuis formed the public acclamation and at the same moment the city throughout was mado aware that an horeditary sovereign had been elected by the clamation of the most democratic of European people—the Portuguese.

Cr1oaqo, Dee. 28.—|Special Telegram to Tnr Bes ]—~Commission men at the stock yards wero discussing today whatjthey term an outrageous disregard of the quarantine regulations passed to peovent the spread of lump jaw, which is regarded as being the most contagious and infectious of cattie dis- ease! Yesterday there arrived a drove of 109 tlo which wera driven almost the entire length of the division and placed in covered pens, Many of them were decorat- od with the official “tag"” of the state live stock commission, indicatmg them to be afflicted with lump jaw. The dise: was 80 far advanced in several cases that the odor coming from the pens was sicken- ing 1n the extreme, and many of them were hardly able to stand.

This was not done, however, and about 5 o'clock last nyght. the cattle were removed to oneof the slaugh- ter houses to bo turned oyer to the butchers today.

The leading feature of the discussion was the practice of warehouso twon. buying grain and storing it in their own elevators, thereby enabliug them to sell atlower rates than regular traders on commission. Nearly every important grain dealer in the city was present at the meeting and the elavator men were n a very small minority, The upshot of the proccedings was the adoption of a resolution offered by W. J. Pope condemning the advance in elevator rates aud demanding its revocation. The directors of the board were instructed to investigate all chargcs against the ware- housemen, and where the accused were found to have bought grain for handling in their own elevators the receipts were to be declared not regular for delivery or con- tracts, H.

Bound to Trees and Literally Shot to Pleces—An Uprising of the Col- ored People Feared—Tronps Oraered Out, 1 Vengeance, Ciartestos, S, O, Dec, 28.—A mob ot several hundred men raided tho jail at Barn- well Court, Houso at 2 o'clock this morning, overpowering the jailer, and took out eight negroes charged with murder. These were: Ripley Johnson and Mitehel Adams,charged with murdering a man named Hoffermun, and six others charged with the murder of young Martin, The prisoners were taken out of town and shot to death, The jailer was tiea and foreed to accompany tho lynchers. The whole thing was conducted in a very skillful manner, the citizens of the town not know- ipg auythiog about it. A great many nogrocs are coblected ut the sceno of tho lynching, and more trouble is expected. The following statement, signed by Robert Aldrich, Mike Brown, George H. Bates, William MeNab and James A, Jenkin: some of the most prominent and influential citizons of Barnwell, has been sent to the News and Courier in explanation of the hor- riblo butchery of defonscless inen at that Place last night. “On the 80th of October last John il Hef- ferman,a proninent young merchantand pub- lic spirited citizen, was shot down and killed in Barnwell by nogroes. Public indignation ran very high, Threats of lynching wero freely made, but were diverted by cooler counsel. At tho last term of court the grand jury found true bills against tho murderors and accessories, but the cases were contin- ued. The whito people were disappoiuted and the negroes, it is thought, were embold- ened by this disposition of the matter, On December 10 James S, Brown, a prominent. citizen of Fishpond township, was shot to aeath on his own premises by negroes without the slightest justification or excuso, The murdersr has not been arrested. On the 1Sth of December, while going from his store at Martin's station to his houso a mile away, Robert Martin, a young man of high standing, was followed by 1 negro and shot 1n the hearing of negroes whose houses were all aroun'l the spot where he was killed, and who adwmitted that they hoard the shot and his cries and that none of them went to his relief aud that none of them went to_his body, although 1t lay in the road all night and for several hours after daylight in plain view of them all ‘Ut was satisfactorily established that his murder was the result of a conspiracy to remove him in order that their license upon the plaptation of his fathor might ba greater. ‘The murderer, that is. the negro who fired tho shot, and his accessories, six in number, after being clearly Identified by thy coroner’s jury, were arrested and lodged in jail. “These #several brutalmurders of promi- nent white men byjnogroes caused a stato of indignation and resentment among our peoplo that can be better imagined than described, but cannot be imagiued by any one not present in our midst. *Last night a large body of armed men in disguise, at about 2 a. m., called at _the jail, overpowered tho juiler, took outthe six mur- derers of Martin and the two siayers of Hef- ferman, took them to the limits of the cor- poration aud shot them to death.” This explanation of the causes which led to the lynohing does not in the opinion of law- abiding citizens justify the atrocious murder of ecight dofenscless human beings. The greatest dignation is expressed at the bru- tality of the deed. All is quiet at Barnwell late this evening although trouble has been anticipated and may yet come, The governor has been appealed to for troops to prescrve the neace. Another Account. Cn10AGo, Dec. 28.—The Chicago Times has the following account from Columbia, S. C., of the lynching of eight negrees ut Baruwaell this morning: Three hundred armed men with faces masked surrounded the jail before daylight this morning when the inmates were sleepiog soundly, They moved with caution and as an organized body. The jailer was seized and overpow- ered, his keys taken from him and the heavy doors unlocked, and before the eight negroes sleeping within were awakened from sleep their cells were filled with strange figures, They were seized and carried out into the night, their cries for mercy, prayers and curses aitke unheeded by the silent execu- tioners, The body of men is puv in motion and proceeds a quarter of @ milo and halts in the outskirts of the town; the eight un- fortunate wretches are secured, several hundred shots fired and eight bodies lies on the earth with blood running from hundreds of wounds, literally torn to pieces, Such was the scene of the terrible tragedy enacted 1 the town of Barnwell this morn- ing. A most terrible retribution for a not extraordinary offense, as the records will prove, Four years ago five men were lynohed in Yorkville for the brutal murder of a little boy who ocaught them stealing, But they belonged to un organized gang whose members were sworn to kill whoever caught them stealing, and thay were believed to have committed several murders previously, Thewr ‘conviction was uncertain and the people took the law into their owa hands. But the wholesale lynching of this morning is without paraliel in the records of crime in this stato and there was less ground for the act than probably for any lynchiog before. It is doubtful if the country can show a like rec- ord. These eight negroes were charged with committing and belng accessory to the orimes charged below On the afternoon of October 20 John G. Hefferman was shot and instantly killed1 a restaurant in the town of Barnwell by Ripley Jobnston, Hefferman was one of the principal merchants of the town and Johnston was @ colored man omployed at that time 1 running @ gin shop, There had been some trouble between the white man and the pegro before and although there were conflicting accounts as to the difiiculty it is probable that Hef- ferman threatened the negro for he had been summoned to sppear before the town council the morning following and had been put under bonds. The killing took place in @ colored restaurant. Five negroes charged with being accessories to the mur~ der and who w in the restaurant at the time, fled to the swamps but were afterwards jalled. A large reward was offered for Jobnston and he was cuptured two weeks later, Of the two murders for which the men were lynched this moruing the worst was committed on last Saturday night, when PAGES. | Robert Martin, a young man of great promise and the only chuld of his aged par- ents, was ambushed and shot to death whilo rnding to his father's house. 1t was discovered that Martin had been shot by a party of nogroes who worked on his father's place and whom he kept protty close to thelr work and allowed little liconso.

The train was behind timo and was run- niug at the rate of forty to fifty miles an hour. The wreck occurred on the fill over the Jarys run which is 100 feet hizh, said to be the highest fill in the United States. All of the kilied were in the smoking car, which was telescoped by another car, Every per- son in the car was killed except the conduc- tor who though terribly injured may re- cover. It was a fearful wreck and the dam- age caunot yet be estimated. Luckily the cars did not take firo, they be- ing heated by steam, The engine did not leave the rails, Tho rear slcepor had its frout trucks on the ground and remained on the rails, Dr. Wi P. Caldwell, the only physician in White Sulphur Springs, repaired to the sceno of the accident and did all in his power to alleviate the suffering, but could only aid one at a Lime. After some time a number of doctors arrived and worked long and faithfully among the sufferers, The ladies in the vicinity turned out en masse, and too much cannot be sald in praise of their noble efforts, The statements as to the cause of the acci- dent vary. Some say tha rails spread, other reports say the rails were worn out and the ties were rotten. Among the injured are several members of the Karl Gardner theatrical company, one of whom will probably die. A REPULSE 3¥ HALP-BREEDS, Pierre Partics Get Badly Worsted In an Attempted Invasion. Pierge, S, D,, Dec. 28, —Great excitement prevails here because of the discovery this morning that a band of about seventy-five setulers had attempted to found a town site across the Missouri af the mouth of the Bad river, 1t is learned that the scheme has been in embryo for several weeks, and a number of prominent residents of Iast Pierre were concerned in it. The work com- menced at 9 o’clock last night, and all night thereafter men with teams and loads of lum- ber were crossing and recrossing the river, the people of Pierre being entirely uncon- scious of what was going on. All went well until about 6 &, m, when a half-breed who farms the land where one of the settlers lo- cated discovered them. Securing a band of followers he attacked the invaders with guns and pistols. The boss carpenter was lassoed andseveral of the home seckers were injured, Finally the latter took fhight, To add to their dismay a storm of rain and sleet set in and one by one they came straggling across the river drenched, almost frozen and a num- ber of them bleeding from bruises and wounds. The half breeds secured the lum- ber, piled it up and set fire to it, and now all that marks the prospective town site is a vast column of flame and smoke visible here, while the yells of the victorious half breeds minglea with pistol shots can plainly be heard on this side. ey IT HAS COME, The Expected Break in P Rates Announced, CH10A60, Dec, 28.—The expected break in passenger rates on account of the collapse of the Western State Passenger association has come.

With regard to the medicine to be laken, when every trace of fever has disap- peared it will be well to tuke at each meal a wine glass full of a geod decoction of Peru- vian bark, and in case of a cough to take twice a day benzoate of soda and paint the chest with tincture of jodine. Such is the counsel of the most eminent physicians and members of the academy of scionce. ‘I'he health ofticer of the city of Paris has published his usual sanitary statement for the week ending last Sunday.
