r PAMBLL OH THE BTATO. by Mr. Punell Oroo-Examiiud by the Attorney-General A iMt (WedneBday) night'i London cable â- â€¢ya : Mr. Taruell, on oroii examination, denied (bat the /n»A WvxU ever ooUooted moueyi for the Parliamentary party. The Irii* World had been hottile to himeelf and the I'arliamentary party einoe 18H2. Attorney- General Webster prodaced ex- tnote from the Itiih U'cWii praising Mr. Parpell's action in I'arliamcnt after 1882. Bir Charles Koasell, conneel for the Parnellit(», pat in extracts adverse to Mr. r*rnell. The oroes-examination wai then con- tinoed. Mr rarnell admitted koowiof; Mooney, otherwise known as " Transat- lantic." lie did not know whether Mooney Wtotributed to the Tarliimentary fund. Mooney wrote violent articles, still witiiesB would not object to reocivioR Mooney's tri- bate to assist the party if he did not publish articles advocsim); murder. Witness had held no oommunioation with Patrick Ford â- inoe 18Hl. Mr. Pamell emphatically de- nied that the Irish schemes ever incladed a coalition with the Kenans, in order to ex- pel landlords from Ireland. He certainly rimed to destroy landlordism, but not to drive iodividaals from the country, and sever had any idea of reeotting to illegal means. He did not recollect meeting Mr. Uavitt and John O'Leary in 187H and die- oassiiig with them a possible alliance be- tween the Nationalist ii and the Fenians. He had no notion that the National fond in America and the skirmishing fond were identical. Attorney. Oeneral Webster read a violent manifesto signed by John Dcvoy and others and issued at Dublin. Mr. Parnell He- olared he had never heard of it before. Ue had met Devoy, Bresliu, Fioerty and Alex- ander .Sullivan and a number uf physical force men. Ue said be would frankly avow that he felt it was no part of his doty to ezolade aL,ybody from the League on ac- ooDnt of their antecedents. Ue wanted to ioclade in it all Irishmen, trnsting that every section would accept the new con- I â- titotiaual form of agitation. He had I aimed at asking the physical force men to I abandon their movement and to accept his. To shut the constitntinnal door in their taoes because they did not immediately agree would have been very foolish. Ue did cot recollect making a speech at Lynn, Mass.. in which it was alleged he had said that when Kogland was beaten to herkuees the time wuuld have come to reali/.o the idea of the Nationalists. Ue admitted that if be had n»od those words be muBt have been thinking of methods of warfare in the event of constitutional agitation failing. At Troy somebody offered him S5 for brood and Â¥20 for lead. Ue did not object to the ofier, becausg be thought the offerer only meant f fi for charitable work and ?20 for League work. This statement caused langhter. The Commission at this point adjourned. A last (Friday) night's London cable â- ays: Mr. Parnell denied before the Com- mirhion that he knew "Nnmber one" ander the name of Tynan or any other name, and said he bad never beard of Mr. Egan being associated with "The Mar- tyrs' Fund," for the benefit of the families of the I'bii'uix Park murderers. Ue saw noti'in,; criminal in the fond and rather thou^lit it was ri(;ht to assist the innocent Tiotini^ 'The Martyrs' Fund" might not, b.j>vever, have been the most appro- priate name for such a fund- Uo could not, he said, recollect denouncing outrages between 187H and ISBl. Ue believed the OBtragea per|)etrated to have been the work of small secret societieK. Witness was then asked whether if secret societies adverse to the Leaiiu-) biul existed, and if a vast ma- jority of the people had belonged to the League, there would not have been ample evidence obtained to convict the perpetra- tors of outrages, but be parried the i|ues- tion, saying that that might or might not have b»en the case. Then occurred the mont remarkable inci- dent in the witness' cross-examination. Attorney. Oeooral Webster 'juoted a siate- meiit made by Parnell in the IIouho of Conimons during the debate on Mr. Fnr- stfri 9 Dill in 1881, huspending the writ of h't'eat corpiif. to the effect that secret societies had then ceased to exist in Ire- land. " Did you believe that when you Kaid it ?" asked the Attorney-Oenernl. " No," replied Mr. Parnell. " At any rate it was a 1 rossly exaggerated state- ment." There was a bu/./. of surprise throughout the ':ourt room at this response. " Did you or did yon not," continued the Attorney-UeTiiiral, " intend to misstate the faot when >iiu made that statement ?" " I have no donbt I did," was the reply. The Attorney (Jeneralâ€" Deliberately I Mr. Parnellâ€" Yes. Deliberately. The Attorney-General â€" Vou deliberately made the statement, knowing it to be nn- trne. Mr. Parnellâ€" Yos ; or if not untrue, very extravagant and boastful. The Attorney-(;eneralâ€" And you have never since withdrawn it ? Mr. Parnell- No, 1 have not. The nonchalance with which the witness made these admissions astonished the audi- ence and elicited hisses. " Probably." added Mr. Parnell, " the statement was meant to mislead the House. I am afraid it did not, for the Dill wsh paeued. My purpose was to exaggerate the effect the League had in reducing the num- ber of secret societies- The League un- doubtedly diminished the n.imber of secret societies, tbongh it had not swept them away, as I stated." Mr. Parnell was next asked what had become of the Land League's books. Ue explained that some were brought to Lon- don and were before the Commission. 1 >• j cash books and ledgers had disappeared, he did not know where. Neither was Treas- nrer Kenny, Mr. Kgan,nor any other of the League otllcials able to tell what had become of them. The letter books and files of letters had also vai ished. Presiding Justice ilannen here impressed apon the witness the faot that the Court attached great importance to the missing documents, and Mr. Parnell promised to try and find them. joarney of the entered ootsido THKIR •WMSTDtn.ntOB ABltOXt).

Thenoe the Egyptian mail steamer conveyed us to Jaffa, where we landed on ^jaturday morning, April (ith. On the afternoon of the same day we left in carriages and travelled to liamleh, where we stopped for tbe night at the Franciscan hospice. (Jn tbe morning of Sunday our was resumed, and at 4 o'clock same afternoon our party Jerusalem. We dismounted the city, opposite Howard's hotel, where wo were met by the American consul and largo crowilq, who had come oat to see the first American pilgrims. The reception was very ontbu siastic. The American flag, which had been brought by Mibscs McCaitcns from New Y'ork, ltd the way. The pilgrims occupied tbe central position. The psalms LatatuB sum laudato domam omncs," Gent's Ueneilictas, ami (he hymn " Ave Maria Stella," with tbe Magnificat, were sung as wo marched through thu Jaffa gate, the principal entrance to the city, up to the Church of tbe Holy Hepulofare.

The respect shown (o the members of (be American pilgrimage by the Turkish soldiers wbh (juite marked.

Of the seven and a half francs paid here, live go to tbe American ('onsul. Not onoe have we been asked for the passport, American or Turkish, tinco weleft Hoboken. The visa of the Turkish Consul at borne was said to be good for Alexandria, Jirasa loin, and Constantinople. Naturally there was some indignant feeling over the matter, and the conclusion naturally reached was that the passport is a very ornamental but very dear and useless piece of paper, as the majority of the pilgrims procured the American passports through agents and pai<l S.'J. It is safe to say that our Ameri can pilgrimage paid over j*>00 for passports alone. When wo get to Ueyrout, OTBB TWO mmDRBD milT.' Fearful SlnoKbter In a Mexican Klat Over the Iiuprlsoument of PrtealH. A St. Louis despatch says : The follow- ing description of tbe riot at La Los, near Guanajuato, Mexico, a few d^ys ago, over (be incaroeration of five Jesuit priests who were stirring np tbe ignorant people against (he Governnieut, is given by a promiueut citizen of Cluanajoato who reached Texas yesterday : It was nearly dark when (he priests were imprisoned, but by the time (be stree( lamps were lighted 12,000 men roared and surged against the walls of the iail. They attacked its heavy doors with pickaxes, stones and crowbars, and heavy twams of wood, and some of (hem in a wild frenzy dashed their bleeding bands and beads against the massive walls. Many of them were armed, and in a short while a heavy fire was pouring into the windows. The Mayor of Guanajuato, who was inside the jail, was one of tbo first to fall. Police- men who rushed up in siiuads of two and three were remorselessly butchered, and in a bhort time more than twenty of them were lying on the pavement. A few scat- tered soldiers who were in (own weretreated in like manner. The mob, which by this time was utterly unmaiiagable,either by the Government or the priests who bad incited it, now set fire to the jail doors, ba( just as tbo inmates wero about to surren- der two hundred regular soldiers arrived at the double quick and formed across the street. The mob answered the order to disperse with a yell and a dis- charge of firearms. The command to fire was at once given. 1 ho bullets at fearfully short ranges swept through the mass of men, women and children like a scythe, wing them down in rows. Still they C!. ne on, and volley after volley crashed into them, only to cause those behind to spurn the dead bodies with their feet they prtssed forward. The streets were sticky with blood and the shallow gotters ran with it. In the meantime a nembcr of insurgent) armed with pistols and rifles had climbed upon the adjoining houses and the soldiers began to drop one by one. After a half hour's oontiuuoas fighting a charge with bayonets was ordered. When the front rank of tbe mob felt tbe steel the en- tire ooucounc broke and disapp>>ared through the alleys and by-ways. Alto^jether more than 200 iiereons were slain, by far tbe greater part of whom were miners and other Mexican laborers. The soldiersi lost sixteen killed and wounded. Amoiit{ the slain vtas a lieutenant. The fire in the jail was quenched and tbo five badly frightened but mill determinod priests were taken to Guanajuato for safe-keeping.

At l.:iO he was shown to his room by Sargeant, and a few minutes Ibterhe w&a found lying on t'.is sidewalk in front of the place with two bullet holes in his head. Nealon was still conscious when found, and said that he was shot by Sar- geant, while Sargoant claims that Nealon shot himself. Bargcant was arrested, and Nealon was taken to the general hospital. One ball struck him above therighttomple, and was taken from the top of tha head. The other ball entered the head over tho left car, and was not found. It is thought that tho wounds will not prove fatal. Tho pistol was found on the bed, and the shoot- ing took place in the bod-room. As tnr as can bo learned Hargnant went with his guest as far as tho bedroom, where the shooting took [ilace, but by whom it was done remains to be ascertained. After the shooting Nealon was evidently dragged out on tho walk by Ssrgeant, which looks very suspicions, and goes to confirm Nealon's Htatement that Sargeant shot hirn.

A last (Sunday) night's New Brunswick, N.J., despatch says : Last night and this morning a fatal riot occurred at the Saycr viUu brickvarde, five miles below this nity. Agent C. P. Hendrickson, with 100 men, started last night to put iu a spur from the main lino of tho Karitan Kiver Railroad acrofcs the land of ex Freeholder IMward Furman, down through tho brickyards to William F. I'islier'o yard. Furman was opposed to their crossing his land and called out hia men. Tho railroad men wero reinforced by brickyard men favor- able to the railroad, until by midnight .'.00 men were engaged in tha ligl t. Furnian's men attacked the railroaders and burned tho ties, material and a car. Pistols, clubs and stones wero freely used. CJeorgo Kissenger, one of I'urmaii j laborers, was killed outright. He was knocked down with a club, and a sharp-pointed crowbar was jammed throagh his head. John Kennedy, a railroad man from South Amboy, was so badly injured that he died in an hour. At 1 o clock this morniug Sheriff Kick, of Middlesex County, called out a /).'»»? of afty men and wont to tho scene. When they reached the place all was quiet, and tho railroad men had stopped work to recruit their force. Tho Karitan liivcr llailroad is a new enterprise running from South Amboy to Bound- brook. General E. T. l{ipley, of New Y'ork, is President. Furman claims; that tho company is crossing hii land without his consent, which the company claims ho had given.

A laat (Ihurtday) uiftbt's Chicago de- spatch says: At the coroner's inqoest to-day into the cause of tbe death of Kobeit horns, a patient in the insane asylum at JeifersoD, Attendants liichardson, Crogan and Peoha, charged with beating him to death, were present. Tbe dead man's widow and ber brother testified that Burns was in good health when he was sent to the asylum. Charles Beck, a reporter, who played the insanity dodge and was ad- mitted to the asylum, detailed the repeated acts of brutality which tho accused in- tlicted upon Burns. He declared the patient was not unruly, but seemed to be dazed. Beck testified that Boms was ordered to sit on a bench. He seemed not to understand, and did not do so, where, upon he was violently thrown down npon it. Rising iu a dazed way, liichardson kicked him violently in tbe abdomen. Burns again arose, when Richardson caught him by the collar and threw him to tbe fioor, and so tbe brutality continued, tho accused kicking the helpless lunatic in the side and stomach, striking and cutting and braising his face with their fists. They undertook to dress his wounded leg, jerking him about roughly and causing him excraciating agony, mean- time continuing their blows. Crogan picked up Barns' shoe and, taking i( by the toe. beat the pa(ien( over the head with tbe heel, catting great gashes and covering the victim with blood. By this time Barns was in a semicomatose condi- tion, lie vas then jerked cut of his seat, which was covered with blood that bad run from his bead. 'J hat night Burns was ordered to remove his clothes, but not complying, was slapped and cuffed. Finally the attendants stripped him and Richard- sou kicked bim in the abdomen, knocking him across tho seat. At another time wit- ness heard blows in Burns' cell and load cries from Burns, lasting several minutes. Attendants Schubert, Crogan and Richard- son were there. Then a mop and a pail of water were brought, and the door was closed and locked. The attendants con- cluded he was too inqnisitivc, and be was removed (0 another part of (ho building. The reporter came oa( of the asylum at tho end of ten days. Burns was then re- duced (o a skeleton, and was a sallow, hollow-eyed idiot. The reporter told how, when friends secured his release. Dr. Kirnan, superintendent cf tbe asylum, shook his bead ominously and advised against i(. Ue declared the reporter was incurably insane. Ue knew this because he had watched tbe case closely. Dr. Schubert, of tbe staff, concurred in this opinion. AFI'ER THK PAKAUK. A HAIIIAOW FBBMZT. A Woman's Tarrlble JCncoonter 'WJth a Madman. A Bcraoton (Pa.) despatch says : Thomas Flyon, who lives on the Diamond Flats, has been acdog 8(raugely for some time past, and bis neighbors and friends bad come to the conclusion that he was in- sane. He was kept in tbe house and care- fully watched by bis wife. This morning Mrs. Flynn went down town and Uft Flynn in bed. At about 10 o'clock John Bailey, a teamster ; ez-Conncilman P- !•'. Logan, weigbmaster at tbe Diamond Mine, and another man were waiting for a car to be unleaded when they heard a piercing shriek emanating from the neigbborhcod of Flynn's hcuse. Bailey and bis companions at once ran thither and discovered that a straggle was going on in the house adjoin- ing. Upon entering it they found Flynn, in a perfectly nude coDditio.i, engaged in a terrific struggle with tbe woman of Ihe bouse. Tbe maniac had a mine axe in his band and the woman, almost exhausted, was trying to wrench it from his grasp, ftailey, assisted by thu other men, eecured the madman after an awful struggle. In the mehf tbe axe fell on his foot and almost severed it. It was afterward learned that shortly after Mrs. Flytn left her husband arose from bed, tore his clothing from his body, and. grabbing tbe axe, rushed into tbe neighbor's house and struck the woman a heavy blow on the right breast, cutting a terrible gash. She will probably survive tbe enccanter. Flynn is now in (be station- houso, a raving maniac. I( is not strange (hat tho Viceroy of Obinais ill. Forty. seven doctors are attend- ing him.

The upper part of thu structure around the smokestack was occupied by half a dozen little girls in costumes, while below in tho steerage were several women, the bo<ly of tbo car being filled with a fow other women anda number (if quaintly attired men with false boards. Tho frail structure toppled over and snapped and cracked, while the women and children slid and fell out. They screamed loudly and many policemen sprang forward to aid them. Fortunately tho children only suffered from fright and they wore carried away crying. The piopio standing near by left their places to lend assistance, and a momentary panio occurred. The police Boon restored order. Tho wrecked float w«s pulled aside, and after an interruption of five minutes the parade continued. The chapter of accidents recorded by the police to-day was a long ono, but not quite so large as jeiterday. A number of persons fell in tits and were more or Icsa bruised ; others fell from horses and had limbs broken, and some spectators wero crushed and hurt during tbe raids which tbe police found it necessary to make eocasioually, iu order to keep the streets clear.

After 1 o'clock in the morning wine flowed in great abund- ance and many intoxicated men and some few disreputable women were carousing in the supper room and on the dancing floor. Many irreBponsible persons withont tickets are said to have been admitted by the door- keepers. Tbe crowd became so great and boisterous thai dancing was out of the qaestion and the respectable people pre- sent made baste to quit tbe building. Great delay was experienced in getting hats and wraps from the cloak roomsâ€" in seme cases parties being compelled to wait over an boor before they could secure articles of apparel which had been left iu those rooms. Many of the waiters in the topper room are also said to have become intoxicated and added tothe blackguardism going on aronnd them. Matters finally became uo bad that the police wero called npon to clear the supper room, which they were able to do only by the free nse of their clubs. The hilarity was kept up until sLortly after 4 o'clock, when the ijolice were instructed to clear the house. A Steunt Tricjclr. A Washington despatch says : This city was treated to a novel scene this morning. The first steam tricyclo that ever appeared on the streets here was run down Pennsylvania avenut! from the capitol tothe treasury building and thm about other of tho principal thoroughfares. It is a very neat rig. The engine and boilers Id not in bulk equal more than a uonplo of siiuare feet, and are bo distributed that they do not appear so large as that. The front seat resembles that of a buggy and was occupied by a young lady, while tbe ordinary saddle of the tricyclo was placed behind and occupied by tho party operat. ing the engine. Ol is used as fuel for the engine, which is plactil behind both riders 80 that tho beat generated ia not un- comfortable. Pedals are provided, to ha used in emergenoien, or when tho steam power is not desired, and the device i.s apt to become popular among the employees of the departments, as it will give them all the pleasure of a buggy ride at an insignifi- cant expense. A Maine farmer, vowing death to fo.\CB, placed a carcase near hiH barn and then connected it by wire under tbo snow with a bell in his bedroom.
