FATAL AcCIDENT.-There was an.
other fatal accident on Saturday
night, whereby Benjamin N. Belden
lost his life under the following cir
cumstances He had been for two
years past working in the shops.
There being night-man short in the
yard, he was asked to fill the place for
a few nights until man could be got,
which he did, much against his will.
He continued until Saturday, which
was to be his last night, man having
been hired to go to work on Sunday
night. While he was engaged in
switching cars, he had occasion to
step in between two freight cars to
uncouple, when his foot caught in the
frog. The cars being in motion, threw
him down, one car passing over his
right leg just above the ankle. His
body being nnder the car he received
very bad wound across the hips,
which, no doubt, caused his death.
He was picked up and taken to his
home; medical aid was called in, and
everything done that could be. He
died at II o'clock, about three hours
after the accident occurred. He leaves
wife and two children. The de-
ceased some time ago made applica-
ton for a life insurance policy and it
was sent here TO gentleman, but he
failed to make the payment. lie was

DESTRUCTION OF MARIE ANToINETrE's CELL
IN THE OoNoIEReERIE.-Th public mind eve
rywhere has been so occupied with the excite
ment consequent upon the Franco-Prussian
war, that but little attention has been given
to an incident which, in quieter times, would
challenge the interest of all acquainted with
the history of the French revolution. The
prison of Marie Antoinette, which has so
long been q sort of Mecca for those who
deplored her sad fate is no more. Recently
great changes and improvements have been
effected in the old prison of the Concier-
gerie at Paris, and the cell in which
she was confined until her execution, as
well as those which were occupied by
Madame Roland, St. just, Dauton,
and Robespierre, have been demolished
and the whole site converted into large
and airy hall Many who read this will re-
member the dark, damp room where the
"Widow Capet," as she was then called,
passed those awful seventy-six days which
preceded her execution. Total want of pri-
vacy during this period was added to her
other miseries. Her bed consisted of rotten
mattress laid upon the floor and covered with
filthy quilt, only concealed from the sight
of her keepers by q screen placed before it.
And from behind it she could hear night and
day the continual opening and closing of cell
doors, since the outer door of the room in
which she was thus lodged, in such disgust
ing company, was ever open. And she was
forced to listen to the howlings, and cursings,
and the obscene songs of the worst of crimi-
nails, and the horrible jargon of the low
women and the taunts and loud oaths of
drunken genddTmes, only few steps from
her, and in the same room! In that room, on
the 10th of October, 1893, after returning
from the PdGdiS de Justice, where she had so
courageously listened to her own death war
rant, she wrote to her sister. in law, Madame
Elizabeth, that sad, sweet letter-full of no.
bleness that seems almost miraculous under
the circumstances-which has become his
torical. Certainly nothing more Chrst-like
has ever been written than that passage in
which she adjures her son never to harbor
thoughts of vengeance against the muir
derers of his parents This letter, which
is engraved under her monument in the
Chapel Expiatone, and which has been read
there by thousands of eyes that could hardly
see for tears, was not made public for twenty
years after her death. 1t was kept profoundly
secret by Robespierre, lest the perusal of it
should heighten the pity which was felt for
her fate, and increase the aversion in
spired by her executioners. When, in 1916,
France came under the Bourbon rule, this
cell was made chapel, where few candles
were always dimly burning. Its walls were
hung with three somewhat mediocre paintings
by Pajon and Drulling, one of which repre-
sented her praying in her cell the evening be-
fore her execution. The other two also de-
picted scenes from her prison-life And Louis
XVIII himself composed the satin inscription
craven upon tablet of black marble, set into
the wall of the room, aud which tells the story
of her wrongs
