The priests took an active part against Farncll; every man of them was at the polls distributing ballots and exhorting Lin parishioners. Thu Unionists or Conservatives, num bering less than a fourth of tlio voters, voluntarily refrained from taking any part, as they desired to see a fair test be tween tho two factions of IIoiuu Killers. The result. Is an overwhelming victory for tho antl-Parnellltcs, their candldato re ceiving nearly two-thirds of thu vote cast. Mr. Vincent Scully, thu defeated Pnrnell itc, Is a wealthy land owner who has not only granted all reasonable, demands of his tenants, but hits for years given ono third of his Income to thu Land League, fund. Sir John Pope llennessy, thu victorious candidate, Is much less popular, but far moro talented; at least, thu events of lilt life would ho Indicate. Hu was born In Cork in 18.'H, and was noted from the llrst ns thu only Irish Catholic Conservative. Hu began political lifu lu thuumblu posi tion of a clerk In thu ifovcruiuont olHco at Somerset, house, Loudon. Hu talked the Disraeli men into believing that thu Irish Catholics wero naturally conservative, ami was sunt over to "convert" them. Ho suc ceeded mi far as to get Into parliament for onu of thu divisions of Cork, and theru hit mission ended. Ho was long thu subjectrfor satire as tho lone Catholic Conservative, and Anthony Trollopo took linn for thu original of hit novel, "I'liineas Finn: Thu Irisli Member." Hu was then noted as a gay bachelor, tho Irisli hunting sciulro and West und soci ety man In onu. Nevertheless ho did much good work, passed an examination in tlio law anil was admitted to practice; was created a knight, mid lu lfMiT euteied tho colonial service to remain in It over twen ty years. Hu was successively governor of Labium, thu west African settlements, thu Hiihamas, thu Windward islands mid Hong Kong, acquiring distinction and wealth. Retiring from that scrvlcu hu purchased thu famous Kostullau castle, in county Cork, and at oncu took high rank among thu highest gentry. Much amusement wat created at thu time by popular and now.s paper speculations about Lady llennessy, whom hu had married in thu Mauritius. It wili known that sho was a uiitlvu of that island and very wealthy, but opinion was divided as to whether sho was black, brown or yellow. Nothing less than a good look at her convinced tho Corkouiaus that alio was of pure Kuropcan blood. Sir John net his stakes for a parliamentary career as soon as hu located in Ireland, took a moderate position in favor of homu rulu, mid when thu split canto wcut with the nntl-Parnullltes.

A Horrible C'.lsn ut .leiiluilsv unit Ki lengo. ut Chester, l'i. "A very real tragedy among very practi cal peoplu; no novelist uvur Imagined n more startling one." Such Is thu unanimous verdict of ex pert on thu horrlblo killing of Kmma Plltenmejor at Chester, Pa. That tho beautiful, wayward girl was cut to pieces by her own slMor In a fren.y of ragu nud Jealousy Is now charged, as ell as that thu husband assisted his wife In a clumsy scheme to conceal her guilt. Mr and Mm. Henry F. Schmidt, thu accused pair, aru lu separate cells awaiting their trial, and fresli evidence dally Is tightening thu colls around them. And yet It Is more than probable that thu woman will escape any extreme penalty, for thu public sympathy of thu county Is with her. Thu cause Is easily seen lu thu details of thu case. Kiniiui i'lltzenmeyer was a very attractive anil voluptuous looking bloudii of 2J, who camo from Oermany a few jears since and made her homu with her sister, Mrs. Otto Walthers, of Chester. Shu was Inordinately found of gay company, anil go.wlp was soon busy with her name. At length Mrs. Walthers sent her away, Jeal ousy being the main cause. Kmma went to live with her other sister, Mrs. Schmidt, and soon there was thu samu gossip about Mr. Schmidt. One evening there was a puhllu ball not far away which Kmma and Mrs. Schmidt attended, leaving tho husband at homo with thu baby. A litttu before midnight Kmma went homu "to scu If tho baby was all right," returned, and soon after again left thu ballroom, tills time unobserved. Mrs. Schmidt missed her, mid well, her conclusions aru not yet proved, but sho hurried homu. Not quite an hour latur shu and her husband roused the pollen with the announcement that "Kmma had committed suicide." A very brief examination of the hor rible sceuu showed that it could not have been suicide. Thu girl's neck was hacked so nearly through that It hung by but a slip of skin. Thu windpipe had been sev ered after other fatal wounds. A long, narrow knife had been thrust deep tutu the neck from behind, penetrating down ward probably tho first blow, lu thu sldu of tho neck was another deep wound, In which thu knife had been drawn forward. Last of all, apparently, thu deep cut across thu front of thu neck wits iniiile. Hy thn corpsu lay 11 ragged chee.su knlfu, which could not have madu thu wounds. Tho KMMA I'KITZKNMI'.Yi:!!. MItS. SCHMIDT. IIKNIIV SCHMIDT. narrow and very sharp butcher's knlfo which might have madu them was found next morning in its place in Schmidt's shop, freshly and very brightly scoured. From these and many other evidences thu prosecution claim to bo able to prove every detail in tills order: Mrs. Schmidt hurried homu from thu ball, let herself in through thu shop, seizing thu knlfu as sho went, noiselessly ascended thu stairs, found Kmma's room dark, but a dim light lu her own, and heard tho voices of her husband mid sister. Thu mild tempered woman, tho alTcctionntu wifu and mother, was trans formed into a fury Dashing open tho door shu fell upon her sister, knife in hand thu rest is told by tho mangled corpsu. Thu fury of passion soon spent itself, mid thu guilty man lent his assistance in con cocting a scheme of deceit. Much Is said of a young man who was Jealous of tho girl; much of a Jilted favorite, but tho prosecutors and thu general publlo of Chester have madu up their minds. Tho discovery of bloody clothing about tho house completes thu chain. Thu girl was unusually gay at thu ball and her slater tlld not then seem disturbed. Ilml no i:eltlii; Life. Joseph F. Gibbs, familiarly known as "Old Joe," who died recently at Kansas City, was long a prominent railroad man, and onu of thu most Interesting of tho many remarkable characters developed by our American systems of travel Ho was llrst a sailor of wldu experience, then an overseer, and next a during river man be foru hu became a railroader.
