PART ON THE OMAHA SUNDAY BEE EAR, THE O'SHEA DIVORCE CASE. All Other Topies Oast in the Shade by the Interest Taken in This Cause Celebre, THE DEFENDANTS DECLINE TO TAKE PART, Captain O'Shea's Story at Yesterday's Hearing - Testi! y of Other Wit- nesses for the Prosecution—The Case Continued Monday. [Copyright 189 by James Gordon Bennett.\ Loxboy, ov. 15.—~[New York Herald Cable—Special to Tue Bee.]—The impend- ing panic on the stock exchange and among great commercial houses, the horrible con- troversy of Barttelot and Jameson, the ap- proaching session and all other topics are cast in the shade hy the interest taken in tho diyorce suit of Captain O'She: It will be remembered that O'Shea was the medium employed by the Gladstone govern- ment in 1882 to communicate with Parnell, then in prison at Kilmainham. His negotia- tions resulted in the celebrated Kilmainham treaty, under which Parnell and his felloy prisoners were liberated and promised to giv general support to the liberal party. At that time and for long afterwards O'Shea was on most confidential terms with Parnell, greatiy tothe disgust of many Parnellites, who al- ways distrusted him, Tim Healy, especially, followed him up with an exceedingly sharp stick, and although Parnell insisted on re turning him to the house of commons a se ond time, he did not long remain there, ‘What happened afterwards to bering about a total breach in the relations between Parnell and O’Shea must be largely a matter of con- jecture. It could not have been a new development in domestic affairs, but all at once O'Shea took an attitude towards the Irish leader, which has culminated in the present suit. Bearing in mind that upon the result de- pends Parnell's future position in publie life, the interest attaching to the proccedings need cause no surpr Should judgment go against Parnell, it is not doubted thathe must practically retive from the leadership of his party, and I have reason to believe that this is the opinionin which hie holds himself in & very decided manner, and it will stand or fall by the verdict of the jur Tunderstand that O'Shea is confident of the result of the trial being in his favor, and hasorought together a mass of evidence cal- culated to damage the defendant. It would not be dificult, considering the very close re- lations which have existed between all the parties, to doas much as this. Mrs. O'Shea is thought to have made a false move in en- deavoring to procurea postponement of the trial, and it is no secret that she regards the proceedings with much nervousness, as she mightwell do in any case, Parnell himself is silent, and, indeed, been invisible for weeks past. Even his lawyers have not al- ways known where to find him, It may be mentioned that there arechildren in the O'Shea household, and one of ~ the amost pain- ful features in the case will turn upon the destiny of these, While the trial cannot but eive rise to most painful charges or suspicions, and the home rule party generally, including Gladstoniaus, will wateh it with breathless attention, no little surprise was manifested when it was called today before Justice Butt. The court was crowded, of course, but the spectators were not of i variety expected at such a trial. Ladies were scarce and thousands of the fair sex will gnash their teeth to think of the chance they have missed. When the announcement was made by Lockwood, who rapresented Mrs. O'Shea, that hie would take 1o part in the case, every- body (gasped. They gasped again when the judge asked if anyone appeared for the co-respondent and the onty reply was a dead silence. Onevery side the question asked was *‘What does it mean?” On every side the answer was a shrug of shoulders. The general impression may be wrong, but it is that Parnell has thrown up his hands. His action recalls a little story I heard some time ago. Mrs. O’Shea lived at Eltham. Colonel North lives there, too. Parnel, it is said, lived there also. One morning a bailift walked into the garden—Captain O'Shea’s garden, I his hand was a writ. He saw a man in the garden aud presented the man ‘with the t. The man said: ‘‘What the devil do you mean?’ The bailiff said: “You are Captain O’Shea?’ The man said: “Iam not.”” The man told the truth, He was Par- nell. Nota few peovle at Eltham thought Parnell was O'Shea, Stories like this fect on the jury. Atany rate Parnell .les perdu, and Mrs, O'Shea, after an unsuccessful offort to drag her sister, Mrs, Stecle, into the case, as guilty of adultery with O'Shea, follows the example of the leader of the home party. It 1s curious how women in tight quarters of this kind will try to drag in others. Lady Colin Campbell tried to shift her sins on her sister’s shoulders, In her case the sister was dead and coutd make no defense 0O'Shea's sister, however, is alive and vigor- ously objects to playing the victim, Solicitor General Sir Edward Clarke Inder- wick and Lewis Coward appeared for O'Shea. The former said Captain O'Shea sought & divorce from his wife on the ground of her adultery with Pamell, Lockwood and Pritchard were supposed to represent Mrs. O'Shea until Lockwood, for both, said he did not intend to take part in the proceedings, might have an ef- ‘The solicitor general said that, though the case stood as undefended, he was bound to put sufticient evidence before the jury, but it Was not necessary to enter into some of the details unless the case was seriously con- tested. When the petition for divorce was filed December 24 of last year, Parneil put in simple denial, Mrs, O'Skea did more; she made counter charges and imputed that he bad connived for years at adultery, which Parnell denied. The plea of connivance was 80 remarkable that the solicitor generai felt bhound to call attention to it. He then told how Mrs, O'Shea and Parnell, became ac- quainted and how the acquaintance ripened, But 0'Shea also told a story and I will allow hium to tell it here. O'Shea looked careworn ‘when he stepped into the box. He spoke low, but distinet. One amoug the listeners was his son, Getald O'Shea, who occupled a retired seat. O'Shea sald he married Katherine Wood January 24, 1867, After the marrisge they stayed in Madrid for some time in tho interest of a bank there, The family is of Spaulsh origin, There were three children of the marriage. In 1851 ho was elected member of parliament for West Clares, He was soon afterwaid in- troduced to Parnell by O'Garmon Mahon and fuvited Parnell to Thomas' hotel and iutro- duced him to his wife, In 1881 he had & quarrel with his wife about Parnell's visits, which he discovered by accident. He went 10 the Salisbury club and wrote the following challenge to Parnell: Sir--Will you please be so kind as w be at | which may OMAHA SUNDAY, MORNING, NOVEMBER 16 Lisle or any other town in the north of suit your convenience on Satur- 16th inst.t Please let me know by 1 p. m. today whether to expect youon that day 50 that T may be avle to mforn you as to tho sign of the inn at which I shall stay. Iawait your answer in order to lose no time in arranging for a friend to accompany me. Ho recelved 1o answer, but Mrs. Stecle, who saw Parnell, assured him his suspicions " groundless, According to Parnell's Mrs. O'Shea assured him nothing was wrong and there was a recouciliation. The imprisonment of Parncll followed, As stated, O’Shea took an active part in obtaining Par- nell's release, After Parnell's release he got in good health and O'Shea invited bim to Elthain, Mrs, O'Shea afterwards went to Brighton. Parnell visited her there or at Medina terrace. In 1884 he went to Lisbon, and on his returm heard rumors that Parnell had been at Eltham. He wrote to Parnell, accusing him of bad faith. Parnell denied any ground for scandal; so did Mrs. O'Sheu. last year, Gen- statements about Parnell He remonst A with his wife, and d her acquaintance with Parnell was for political purposes, Mr, Inderwick asked O'Shea if his wife had told him anything about Parnell, O'Shea said she told him that Parnell had been se- cretly married in 1556, He invited Parnell to call at Eltham. On these occasions he (Mr, Parnell) returned to town on the evening train. He had no knowl- edge of his returning the same evening and ying at his house. In May, 18%, hesa® a agraph in a London newspaper about them and he telegraphed Mrs, O'Shea asking what it meant, On May 25, 1886, he got a letter from her stating she had not the slight- estidea what it meant, and she did not see that it had anything to do with them. He suggested that they o to asolicitor’s and see whether they could not take proceedings against the newsvaper, but she argued that the proceedings would only bring the scandal into greater prominence, OnJune 8 he went to Carlsbad and she went to Eastbourne. He went to Eastbourne for two days and stayed at the Queen's hotel Before going to sbad *he wrote to her from abroad on August 20, 1886, He wroto to her that it would ve advisable not to settle anything definitely till he returned. M while he forbade her to have any com- munication di ly or ind ly with Mr, Parnell, and sugeested that she should con- sult her brother, Sir Evelyn Wood, or a so- lieitor acting for her, On September 1886, he saw o paragraph stating that Par- nell had been staying at Eastbourne during the summer. On October 10, 1886, he wrote to the effect that what had appeared in the newspapers about her and Parnell was to putan end to his public life, and that as she would not consentté do as he suggested, he must seck some other arrange- ment. In Decembe 1886, he saw more paragraphs in the newspapers and on April 13 he received a letter from his son stating that as he came in by a back way he heard the voice of that awful scoundrel, Parnell. He had asked his mother if it was he and she said he had come to town, and he thought it better for his father to know about 1t. He next got a letter from his solicitor stat- ing that Mrs. O’Shea indignantly denied that he had the least ground for his suspicions. On April 22, 1857, he wrote to Parnell tnat it had come to his knowledge that he con- tinued to communicate with Mrs. O'Shea, and he now asked him to discontinue it. In June, 1887, he had reason to believe that Mrs. O'Shea had broken off the compli- cation with Mr. Parnell, untl a paragraph appearcd in the Times stating that Parneil was living at Brockiey under thé name of Preston, In September, 1859, he saw more paragraphs in the newspapers in reference to Parnell and he then consulted his solicitors. He knew of his wife living at a house in Brighton in the end of 1889, and he went down there and stayed at a hotel and only saw Mrs, O'Shea at the theater on that oc sion, On Decembver 10, 1889, he receiv information that led him to suspect that Parneil was living in the house, and he therefore instructed his solicitors and the petition was filed, O'Shea was asked if the charge that he committed Hesaid that it ws heard of 1t untii h 1881, Mrs. 0'Shea and Mrs. Steele were on most affectionate terms, but afterwards ill feeling arose between them owing to a probable suit. This suit is anent the will of Lady Wood, sister of Sir Evelyn Wood, who died some time ago. She was a saving soul and had £200,000 at her bankers'. She left money to Mrs, O'Shea, and there are some ugly rumors afloat about undue influence, These may be groundless, but there promises to be a contest, 0'Shea was followed by Harriett Bull, who was 1n service where Mrs, O'Shea lived at Brighton. She recognized Parnell by a photograph as tne man who visited Mrs. O'Sheaevery day. He stayed long aud when he came everybody but Mrs. 0'Shea went out. He frequently stayed until 11 at night. He slept in the house one night. On one occasions he went to Mrs. 0'Shea’s bedroom to speak to ner and beard Parnell’s voice. The door was locked and she saw them come out three quarters of ag hour later. Caroline Petpera, cook at Medina Terrace, said Par- nell visited Mrs. O’'Shea as Charles Stewart. He came to the house by a back way and had a cloth cap pulled over his eyes. He used to drive Mrs, 0'Shea about at night, but never inthe day. When not driving they were locked in a room together, sometimes for hours. Whenever she had & message to Mrs. O’'Shea witness would have to wait outside the aoors five or ten minutes, Mrs, O'Shea would then come to the door and open it an inch or two, Captain O'Shea once called when Parnell was in the drawing room. It was dark, and Mrs. O'Shea would not have the gas lighted and witness went down stairs, Immediately afterwards Captain O’Shea rang the street door bell and came in and a few minutes later Parnell, who had not come down stairs, knocked at the front door and asked to see Captain O'Shea. There were two rope fivecscape ladders in the house. [Laughter.] On another occasion Parnell sat in the drawing room until mid- night, He then went up to bed, Mrs, O'Shea followed and went into his room., Witness and her husband were standing on the land- ing above and saw this. They waited some tine, but as Mrs, O'Shea did not coms out they went to bed. Parnell's hot water was always taken up to his room by Mrs, O'Shea, who would lring down his orders as to breakfast. At this point the case adjourned. As Mrs. Steele was at Brighton, the solicitor general sald there would be no other witnesses ready before Monday, The judge smd: *‘If you like to close the case now I am prepared to tell tho jury what I thiuk has been provea.’ The solicitor general said he preferred to call @ few more witnesses, so the case was ad- Journed till Monday. The case is the talk of the town and you can get any odds on a verdict for O'Shea, i — The Death Roll.

A Rogular Panio, Especially Among Hold- ers of Railroad Stocks. BIG LONDON BANKING FIRM SHORT. Baring Brothc rs Find Themselves ina Tight Place and Are Forced to Squeal--The Rothschilds to the Rescu :W Yonk, Nov. 15—The stock market today during two hours of the session was the liveliest since the great slump of December 15, 1886, and for the space of an hour or more there existed a perfect panic among holders of securities, especially railroad stocks, and the declines established during that time were greater than ever before seen at the same time. The only cause of excitement was the announcement from London that the firm of Baring Bros. had been forced to seek as- sistance to tide them over the present finan- clal crisis, and holders of stocks ba.ame panic- stricken over the news without reflocting that the dangers had really already passed when the Bank of England and Rothschild came to the rescue, Early advices from London were resssur- ing, and the crisis was represented as over there and continuing the improvement begun yesterday, First prices were generally frac- tionully higher than yesterday’s figures, Tho announcement about the Barings was thrown at the market immediately, how- over, and the good feeling disappearca in an instant. and from prospective buyers the whole room became sellers at the best s obtainable, The force of the decline be gathered from the fact that in the short space of an hour Lackawanna had dropred away 01, Je Central 71¢, Atchison 537, Pullman 5'¢, Canada_Southern 6'¢, Burlmgton 7Y, Rock Island 5! and others from 2to 5 per cent. The drop, how- over, soon broughit into the market a class of buyers who_are paying outright, for their se) curities, and the current was soon turned by this support when the bears joined in the buying to reali;s profits acerued upon the trémendous drop. The early selling soon de- veloped the fact that there were large selling orders in the market and the trading and professional element soon took the market away from the d innumerable stop orders were qu uncovered, rendering the stampede more serious every minute After the downward movement checked the bank statement issued. showing @ ‘material gain _in the surplus meserve and growing strength that the banks have no further feel- ing of apprehension among Wall street louses, and the general impression is that as soon as London becomes really quict there will be no disturbing influence found here. The rally which obtained in the first hour extended o 4 per cont and over in some of the most pronounced cases, but the upward movement was insufficient'to make ‘up any- thing like the losses incurred, and there wis an extremely foverish and unsettled condi- tiow of the market in trading throughout. The close was very active and strong for the moment at materfal losses for the day. The final losses were very material and Lackawanna was off 43/, Jersey Central 5, Rock Island 4, Missour 1 Burlington' 2%, Silv rthweostern 157 per cent. Private _cables received opening of the stock exchange an- nouncing the troubles of Baring Broth- ers, and stating that the Bank of England, the Rotheliilds and_other bankers had taken up the accounts of Baring Bros, amounting to £15,000,000, created a profound sensation. The brokers had a conference and decided to bid an advance at the opening in every stock that could be bandled, so as to arrest the sudden shock. As a result prices for nearly all active stocks opaned ' to 2 per cent” above last night's close, the extreme gain being made by ern Paciflc prefers Then pri rapidly iu all divections.

Kidder, Peabody & Co., who are the agents here for g Bros. & Co., say they have private advices from London thit whatever trouble there may have been is completely arringed, The trouble was doubtless caused by the depression in Argentine securities. In an interview this afterncon Thomas Baring said: It is true that the Bank of England, the Rothschilds and othes large English banking houses had agreed to guar- antee the credit of the Barings to the extent Of £11,000,000.” Banlker Seligman. speaking of the condition of affadrsin Wall street, said he presumed that if withina reasonable time the market takes a favorable turn here and abroad the Bariugs will take up their collateral and go on as al- ways. “No one can say this is the beginning of the end of the Barings, for the simple rea- son that no one kuows anything about it.”” The Evening Post says: *Three months ago, when the Argentine revolution first Legan to cripple the resources of houses floating Argentine securities, an examination of the affairs of the Barings showed a_clear balance of £15,000,000 over and above all lia- bilities, The shrinkage of £11,000,000, or say ahout #5,000,000 in three months, shows what a tremendous strainLondon finances have been subjected to.

Baring Bros. have been more or less embarrassed for over six months, Last Thursday week the Messrs. Baring at the conclusion of busiuess decided that it was impossible for them to coutinue, and on Fri- duy morning, November 7, they so notified the directors of the bank of England, who immediately convened and startled the wholo financial _ world by raising the rate of discount. The proceeding was most unprecedented and called for a halt of speculation at every money center in the worla. The present week has been one of most painful suspense in banking circles and this feeling is reflect in & minor degree in New York, where only a fow of the more important houses having European connections have been aware of the real nature of the difficulty in London, On the Chicago Board. Cricaco, Nov, 15.~Prices on 'change here ‘were strongly in sympathy with the move- ments on the New York stock exchange, The opening was rather weak, and when the news of the break in New York stocks was received, in spite of the cabled announcement that Barring Bros. had received heavy su f}’"" a panic in and everybod sold, rices went off with such rapidity that It was impossible to do wuy business.

PROSPECTIVE PLANS OF THE THREE P'S. Belief That at the Coming Session of Congress They Will Lead a Move for Changes in the Tarifr, 513 FourreeNTil STR Wasmsaron, D, O, N 15, Tt is amazing what anxiety exists to secure the best seats on tho floor of the senate, No sooner does a senator die than there is a rush for the chair ho makes vacant, and before the returns are all in from an election appears thero will be changes, then a s “ble is made for any change there may be in anticipation on the floor.of the senate, The rule of the senate provides that whenever it appears that there is to be a change n a soat on the floor by reason of death, resignation, election or otherwise the chair to be vacated shall go to the senator who first requests it of the doorkeeper. In less than forty-eight hours after the recent election, or as soon as it appeaved that Wisconsin bad gone demo- cratic, Woleott of Colorado, who occupied a seat on the extreme outsido wing of the re- publican sido of tho scnate, wired Captain Bassott, the doorkeeper, saying that he wanted Spooner's seat. He was promised the chair by return telegraph. So Senator Spooner's chatr -is disposed of long before the time when the legislature which is to clect his successor convenes, Mr Stewart of Nevada and other senators wired for Spooner's seat, but their applications came too late, Of course the chair will not be vacated until March 4 next. Even Sena- tor Ingall's chair is being fought for Ly re publicans who are mot so well located, although it is by no means sure that the tor will not succeed himself. Senator Wash- burn of Minnesota wired his application for Ingall’s chair us soon s it began to look as though the democrats and_ fusionists had se- cured o control of the Kansas delegation Learning that this application had been made, Chandlerof New Hampshire has entered his application for tho seat to be vacated by the Minnesota senator in the event Ingalls is not re-elected angd the change of seats indicated oceurs. If itfwere not that Senator Chandler Wasmyarox Bureav Tie Ovwana Be } as one of the most undesirable seats on the floor there would doubtless be applications for his chair. PLANS OF TIE THREE P'S, 1t is believed that the three republican P's inthe senate who voted for. strong cuts in the tariff—Plumb, Paddock and Pettigrew — will lead & move for a few popular changes in the law this winter which cannot be resisted 1d that among the things they will advocat will be free binding twine and raw materials which cannot be supplied in_this country in sufficient quantities to meet the demands.” It is not belicved there will be many changes in the tariff law as it stands. WANAMAKER ON WALL STREAT, Postmaster General Wanamaker, who is being pounded by Gould and his followers on account of his advocacy of the postal tele- graph scheme and who is suffering a r upon his financial credit for this work, wh asked by a gentleman today whether he be- lieved it was safe to go ahead with Dbusiness ven- tuves reguiring long credits and loans, said: “I regard the country as being 1n the safest +financial condition it ever was in and would not hesi- tate to enter any business venture on account of the flurry 1n Wall street and London.

The revolution s at an end. After yester- day's fighting it was a foregone conclusion, as was stated in the Herald, that this would be the end. His troops had been defeated in A series of bloody engagements, and he, with the briet remainder, were penned up in the San Francisco racks, So, surrounded by a vigilant f flushed with victory, President Bogran last night had stationed a number of cannon upon the barracks, and early this morning he opened fire, Sanchez and his imprisoned comrades, knowing that death awaited them in any event, fought with the desperate cour- age of despair, but it was a hopeless struggle from the start. After a brief cannonading thewalls of the barragks were almost com- pletely battered down. Then there was a determined charge of Bogran’s soldicrs, o brief but desperate hand- to-hand fight, and then all that remained alive ot the rebels were prisoners, Without the formality of a court-martial, Sanchez with several of the vrincipal officers engaged in the revolt were taken to one of the principal squares in the city, biindfolded, and stood in line in the presence of hundreds the citizens, A fiving party was teld off. The doomed men were given a brief time for prayer. Then the word was given. There was a crash of muskets, and the revolution of Longiness Sanchez passed into history.

All Europe is still discussing Koch's con. sumption cure. So far as known the treat- ment consists of injection under the skin of a clear brownish liquid. The place for the in- jection is between the shoulder blades in the region of the loins, The liquid soon produces constitutional disturbance such as nausea, shivering and a rise in temperature, but the first effects soon pass and if the patiel ordinary health nothing further will ensue. Koch has proved the effect on himself, If the patient is suffering from scrofula and sccondary action begins, it fixes upon the discased spots and progeeds to cure, It has not been shown to do this in a demonstrable way in consumption. The process is hidden from observation. Koch sees the curative action with the eye of faith, He says evertheless we are justi- fied in assuming that here, too, changes take place similar to those seen in lupus cases.” He says the remedy does not kill tubercular bacilli but tuberculous tissue. Kocks state- ments regarding the cure of pulmonary con- sumption are carefuily guarded and one of his claims is that it will iu the future form an in- dispensable aid in diagnosis. The English medical fraternity is disposed to be hopefnl, for the benefit piomised is 8o, great that re- sponsible persons decline to scout them; but the consumption cure does not now seem to be 80 popular as the first announcement of the discovery warranted the public in believing. ey Advance in Sealskins, {Copyright 1890 by James Gordon Bennett.)
