MAN AND W nan.

Charles Stewart Parnell and Mrs.
Kate O’Shea Joined in Wedlock.

MARRIED BY ALREGISTRAR.

The Ceremony;’ Took Place at the Village
of Steyning and Was Strictly Private, I
the Two Clerks Evmployed in the
Office Acting as Witnesses.

LONDON, June 26. —-It is believed that Mr.
Parnell and Mrs. O’Shea were married
Thursday.“ At half-past 6 o’clock in the
morning a closed carriage left Parnell’s
residence at Brightonand was driven by a
coachman who _ ‘ ‘ '
_ displayed a white
favor to Steynin g,

a small town in
Sussex county,ten ‘
miles distant from .
Brighton, where
itis supposed the
Wedding ceremo- . ’
ny was performed? .. a“
in the parish 'K/ .
church. While it CHAS. S. PARNELL.‘

is not absolutely known whom the car-
riage contained, yet the fact that Mrs.
O’Shea’s house adjoins that of Parnell, and
the further fact that a door communicates
between the two residences, thus making
it easy for both persons todepart from the
same house, leaves verylittle doubt that
the occupants of the carriage were Mr.
Parnell and Mrs. O’Shea.

Later-The report"of the marriage of
Charles Stewart Parnell, the Irish leader,
to Mrs. Kate O’Shea, the divorced wife of

' » . . Captain William
H e n r y O’Shea,
Thursday morn-
ing is confirmed.
The wedding did
take place at Stey-
ning, but the cere-
mony was per-
formed by the reg—
istrar of the vil-
lage. The affair
‘ was strictly" pri-
' " vate, there being
mus. o’SHEA. 0 n 1 y t W o wit-
nesses, and they were the clerks employed
in the ofiice of the official who joined the
noted couple in wedlock.
The Officials Bribed.

Immediately after the knot had been
tied bride and groom left the town for a
destination not known, but conjectured to
be Paris, where it is believed the honey-
moon will be spent.

It is learned that the proper local au-
thority at Steyning was notified on Tues-
day last of the contemplated marriage and
of the necessity for his services. '

The parish registrar, together with his
books of record, vanished after the wed-
ding ceremony had been performed, and it
is believed that his disappearance was the
result of a bribe judiciously administered
by the wily Irish leader.

Newspaper men are swarming about the
wharves of the channel steamers, where
they hope to wish the great co—respondent
and his bride a bon voyage to the sunny
land of France.

Divorced Last November.

Captain \Villiam Henry O’Shea brought
suit for divorce in the latter part of De-
cember, 1889, making Charles Stewart
Parnell the co-respondent. The trial was
thesensation of the (by. both in Europe
and America, and Parnell’s connection
with it precipitated the now existing split
in the Irish National party.

The news of Captain O’Shea’s actions
though a surprise to the world at large,
was declared to be none to those behind
the scenes. The relations between Parnell
and Mrs. O’Shea were declared to have
long been talked of.

O’Shea’s first appearance on the political
surface was in 1885, when the captain was
returned to parliament, and it was no se-
cret that he obtained his seat through the
instrumentality of Parnell. His advent
was not received without opposition, and
he subsequently resigned his seat.

Later on Captain O’Sbea appeared as a
witness against Parnell at the Parnell
commission, but his testimony, however,
did not carry much weight.

Divorce was granted to O’Shea on N ov.
17, 1890, and a decree for the petitioner was
entered against Parnell. The custody of
the younger O’Shea children was awarded
to the captain. Since that time there have
been numerous rumors as to the marri. we
of Parnell and Mrs. O’Shea.

Lose BRANCH, N. J., June 26.—Fred«

Brokaw, son of the millionaire clothier, I.

in front of his father’s cottage on Ocean
avenue, Elberon, while trying to save
from drowning two servant girls employed
by Charles Hess, who occupies the adjoin-
ing cottage. Dr. Ferris, of Philadelphia,
had a very narrow escape from the same
fate. One of the girls whom Brokaw tried
to save was also drowned. The bodies
were recovered Thursday.

A Nine-year-old Girl Beaten to Death.

MONCTON, N. B., June 26.—-A nine-year-
old girl named Ida Young, Who had been
adopted by one Jack Vienneu, a French-
man, in Bathurst, Gloucester county, was
found by the roadside in a dying condi-
tion. She had been beaten in a terrible
manner and was bruised from head to
foot. She said Mrs. Vienneu had beaten
her because she was sick, and had then
sent her to her former home. The girl
died after making a statement of the treat-
ment she had received.

WEEKLY - NORWALK - GAZETTE,

ACCUSED n YARDLEY.

The Keystone Receiver Says Wana-
maker Held 2,625 Shares of Stock.

THE ‘GLAIM FLATLY DENIED

The Postmaster General Says That the
Charge Is Ridiculous, and Reiterates
the Assertion That He Never
Owned a Share of the Stock.

PHILADELPHQL, June 26.—A profound
sensation was created at the session ofthe
Bardsley investigating committee here in
regard to the aflairsof the Keystone Na-
tional bank by the testimony of Receiver
Yardley as to John Wanamaker’s financial
transactions with the wr'eCked institution.
The, testimony of the receiver revealed the
fact that 2,625 shares of the Keystone had
been issued to Postmaster General “fana-
maker in addition to the 2,516 shares held
by him as collateral from Lucas. The dis
covery was a startler to everybody present,
and Mr. Wanamaker willbe recalled to ex-
plain the surprising disclosure.

“'hat the Stockbook Showed.

One of the (stock books of the. Keystone
National bank was produced, and Receiv-
er Yardley was asked to point out the can-
celed stock certificates which had been
issued inthe name of John Wanamaker.
He pointed out certificate No. 445, issued
on. March 31, 1886, to John \Vanamaker

' for 200 shares of stock, and signed by John

C. Lucas, president, and Gideon W. Marsh,
cashier. Also certificate NO. 446 for 200
shares, certificate No. 447 for 200shares,
N0. 448 for 200 shares, No. 449 for 206
shares, all issued to John VVanamaker’s
name, bearing date of March 31, 1886, and
signed by President Lucas and Cashier
Marsh. *- . . . ~

Certificate No. 450 was issued in the
name of John Wanamaker on Feb. 10,
1886, and was for ‘200 shares, and was
signed by Lucas and Marsh. 'The power
of attorney on the back up to this'one was
signed by John \Vanamaker and witnessed

'by TV. Rankin. , Certificate No. 454 for 200

shares, No. 452 for 200 shares, No. 453 for
200 shares, No. 451 for 200 shares, were all
issued to John \Vanamaker, and his sig-
nature is afiixed to the power of attorney
on the back.

These are all issued on Feb. 10, 1886, and
are signed by President Lucas and Cashier
Marsh. Certificate N o. 608 is for 25 shares,
and was issued to John \Vanamaker on
May 31, 1887. The certificate is signed by
John C. Lucas as president and Marsh as
cashier. All of these certificates bear on
the back a transfer signed by John W'ana-
maker, and certificate N0. 608 is guaran-
teed by Irwin & Toland, the transfer hav-
in g been made to Howard Spencer Jones.

His Name Not on the Stock Ledger.

Receiver Yardley testified that on the
stubs, of the stock books were found
\Vanamaker’s signature. The stock books
did not, however, contain his ' signature,
but this was not unusual in the case of
other stockholders. Receiver Yardley
also testified that the spurious stock cer-
tificates which had been handed over by
the Lucas estate as coming from \Vana-
maker had not been pasted in the stock
book, but kept in an envelope. The. al.
leged fraudulent certificates, he said,
amounted to 2,516 shares, while those
issued in the frame of John Wanamaker
numbered 2,625 shares.

He also testified that \Vanamaker’s
name did not appear on the stock ledger
of the Keystone National bank at any
time as a stockholder in the bank. When
asked where the minute book of the bank
was Receiver Yardley said that it was lost
and could not be found.

Councilman Hicks asked Mr. Yardley
how it was that some of the fraudulent
stock had been issued after Lucas’ death,
and he replied that he could not tell.

Receiver Yardley was then closely ques-
tioned regarding the transfer of stock
made after Dec. 10,- the time of the run on
the bank. His testimony showed that a
number of transfers were made even after
Marsh had made his confession. Among
those who transferred their stock were H.
H. Yard and several of the directors of the
bank.

Wanamaker Saysvlt’s Ridiculous.

VVASIIIXGTOX, J unc 26.-—Postmaster Gen-
eral \Vanamaker, when asked if there‘was
any truth in the finding of the councils’
committee of Philadelphia that 2,265 shares
of Keystone bank stock issued in the name
of John \Vanamaker, in addition to 2,515
shares which he admitted he had turned
into the Lucas estate, on being told it was
an over-issue, and that he signed some of
the transfers of this stock, said that such
finding was ridiculous, and made the fol-
lowing statement: 7

“I do not know exactly what took place
at the committee meeting, but I hope they
will probe .to the uttermost everything
about the reported ouerissue of the Key-
stone stock. I never owned a share of
Keystone stock by purchase or gift, her
did I ever find a share of it, and the books
of the bank will prove that I was never re-
corded as a stockholder, if they are prop-
erly kept. It is possible, however, that if
the bank could overissue stock it could do
queer things in bookkeeping. I 'am not
responsible for that.

“Some of the certificates I first held
might have been in my name and then
transferred to the names in the certificates
I surrendered. The same stock is fre-
quently so transferred. On one occasion
I obtained a loan for Mr. Lucas on his
stock tom a trust company of which I
was a director, which loan was paid off by
the Lucas estate after his death, as its at-
torney will attest if called. These certifi-
cates were in my name, but I did not own
them, nor have a cent of interest in the
loan, which was purely an act of friend-
ship.

In my testimony before the committee
I confined myself to the stock lzcld by me
in the Reading operation, which was the
only stock I had interest in then, only as a
collateral, and the fact remains exactly as
I stated it. I never owned a share of the
stock at any time, and the stock ledger of
the bank ought to prove it.

Wrinkles on the gown are like
wrinkles on the face—fatal to beau-
ty. The corset must be a good
shape if the gown is to be well cut.

No tailor’s cut can avail when it is
handicapped by an unshapely corset.
Then. too, however finely the dress
may be made, it will not long pre-
serve its symmetry, unless this fruit-
ful source of wrinkles be corrected.

ment you will always find a large
