PARIS, January 24.-The departure o!
ex.Empress Eugenie attracted large crowd
who evinced the warmest sympathy. The
Grand Duke Constantine carried to her
private message from President Grevy that
her presence in Paris was undesirable. 1t
is difficult to say whether her departure
was due to that message or the persuasion
OF her friends, all OF whom are, grieved by
her imprudent action. There was no deep
laid scheme in her coming, but learning Of
the arrest OF Prince Napoleon she tele-
graphed Rouher she was coming with at
tendants, and asked to have the same rooms
occupied by her husband in 1913. This was
the only point OF political significance in
the whole affair, and the story that she
went to consult an otculist would have
been believed except for that. She saw
but few leading people here. The Cabinet
can certainly only continue in office twoor
three days. During the excitement con-
cernipg the expulsion OF Pretenders and
Prince Napoleon evil be entirely lost
sight Of. One would think the Orleans
Princes were the only persons affected by
the various proposals of government.

Boggess case was given to theiury this af.
ternoon, and the jury is now out. Such
has been the interest in this case that
the Court House has been filed with
persons who came to hear the
trial. Everything said or done by
witnesses, Court or counsel have been at
tentively listened to and carefully noted by
the eager and watching crowd. MIR. Davis
concluded at about II o'clock this morning
one Of the finest forensic efforts 1t has ever
been tho pleasure OF your correspondent to
hear. Major Moore spoke about four hours
in concluding, making as strong and con-
elusive IN argument as the facts OF the case
would admit OF. Mr.. Moore is a strong
prosecutor. NV. ..r.r.
Speculation as to what the verdict will
be is rife. Generally tile opinion is that
the Jury will hing or Gnd Boggess guilty OF
murder in the second degree, grounded on
the theory that he was SO much under the
influence Of whisky that he was incapable
OF a wilful intent to murder at the time he
did the killing.

this morning, SHAW, or what re-
mains Of him, was found riding
up Pennsylvania avenue in hack with
his feet and legs sticking out of the back
window, while the driver OF the vehicle
was 30 drunk that he could not tell his des.
tination or intentions. When he recovered
sobriety in the station house, he said that
two men had hired him to take passen-
ger to Howard University, and at the same
time sent him into saloon near by to
get drink. When he returned they
told him his passenger was inside, and
he climbed to the box and drove to the
University, where he discovered that his
passenger was a naked corpse, He ratified
up the University authorities, however, but
they refused to receive the passenger, and
half frightened to death, had to drive the
body back to the city. he took several
drinks on the way, to brace up,
and got stupidity drunk before he
reached Pennsylvania avenue. It
seems that well.known ressurrectionist,
named Jansen, appeared in this city the
day Of Shaw's execution, promptly dug up
the body, and sold II to college here,
where It was dissected before night class,
and then returned to the resSurrectionist,
who disposed Of it by loading it into the
hack. Jansen was arrested to-day.

DIR. Agnew Fishes In u Mans Throat for
False Teeth and Plate.

PnILADELpnlA, January 24.-Harry Beck,
the Wilkesbar1e bartender who swallowed
histeetll on Friday night, and whose friends
thought he would die, arrived in this city
yesterday afternoon, and at once proceeded
TO the office OF 'Dr. D. Hayes Agnew. He
said that the accident happened while he
was eating plate Of oysters. He bit upon
a shell, breaking two Of his teeth from an
upper plate containing four. The plate
was loosened in his mouth and with the two
remaining teeth, wasswallowed, lodging in
the throat. He proceeded to his home and
four physicians were summoned. Their
efforts to remove the teeth were Intellectual,
as the proper instruments were not pro-
procurable, though one Of the physicians
declared his ability to remove them If Mr..
Beck would allow him to administer chic
roform. To this Mr.. Beck objected. In
the meantime the teeth had worked down
ward 10 near the stomach, and were felt
there with an instrument inserted by DR..
Murphy. The unfortunate man suffered
greatly from the effects OF his strange acci;
dent. II was unable 10 eat anything, but
could drink little water. DR.. Agnew on
Saturday afternoon, after somewhat diff.
cult operation, brought up the teeth. Mr..
Beck has not been seriously injured by the

A CURIOUS CAVE.
A Portion OF wiIkesbarre Let Down II
'I.I" Few Feet.

WiLKEsBARRE, Pa, January 24.-About
6 o'clock this morning a terrible shock
took place in the east end Of the Second
ward OF the city, lasting three minutes
Houses were toppled over to one side and
brick buildings split and rent asunder.
The sidewalks in some places fell ten feet
and in others bulged up FIVE or six feet.
People ran wildly through the streets,
carrying their children in their arms, many
OF them naked. Great chimneys fell and
barns swung to and fro. A large brick
school house was damaged. Many floors Of
residences have an angle Of so to 40 de.
grees. The trouble was caused by the
giving way OF earth over old mines. The
damage to property now cannot be told,
but will be heavy. The sensation caused
by the affair was intense.
The disturbed district covers an area OF
sixty acres. Houses have been abandoned
and the people are flying to the hills, ex-
peCting TO see their dwellings sink into the
earth. The cave is over an old abandoned
mine worked years ago by the Delaware 4
Hudson Company. The vein is twenty
feet thick. Pillars Of great weight, with
their proppings shattered to pieces, caused
the caving. 1t is expected that the school
house will iall before night.

From Our Special Correspondent y 4
WASHINGTON, January 24.-Mr. Beck
and other opponents Of the Finance Com
mittee tariff Bill were much pleased to-day
with the action Of the Senate, on the metal
schedule. Asa general thing the extreme
protectionists suffered. They were aided
by ingalls,, Van Wyck and McDill, Western
Republicans. The struggle was hard one.
Vance .ried 70 reduce the duty on iron rail-
way bars but failed. Hesuceeeded, however,
by twenty-five TO twenty-one, in carrying
the reduction ofthe duty on steel rail from
Sl7.92 to Sl56S per ton. The vote on lum.
Der the other day disgusted Congef, who
said he no longer cared for the bill.
The iron and steel men are much dis
couraged at the turn things have taken, and
unless they can restore the situation say
they will try TO defeat the bill. The metal
schedule is barely begun, and will proba-
bly, takea long time. Mr.. Tucker, OF Vir-
ginia, expresses the opinion that the tables
prepared by the Treasury Department
showing an increase or reduction OF rev.
enue in the schedule are deceptive. He.
SAYS that many OF the reductions OF rev.
enue are obtained by carrying the duties
up to the prohibitory point, thus really In
creasng taxation, and that in other cases
where the tariff isreduced, 1t is assumed
that the revenue will , be cut down,
the probability is there will be increased
importations and increased revenue.
It isdoubtful il the tariff bill will be ia:
ken up in the House tomorrow. Apart OF
the day is assigned for delivering eulogies
upon Senator Hill. II the House goes in
to Committee Of the Whole, Tucker will
urge that the House shall first consider the
biilireported from the Committee on the
9th Of December by Mr. Kelly to repeal all
taxes now levied directly upon tobacco
and all dealers and peddlers in tobacco,
and all stamps used in the collection Of
these taxes. The Revenue collected in
1852 from these sources was over S47,-
100000. ID
Mr.. Kelley is very anxious to have this
bill passed. The Democratic minority OF
the Ways and Means Committee will prob.
ably make report Of their views on some
OF the leading subjects OF taxation. but are
not yet in possession OF all the information
they have called for from the Treasury De.
partment. There are now thirty
three working days Of the session
left and the most important ap-
preparation bills not yet reported. In
view Of this and the immense number OF
items OF the tariff bill and the varying
views, II seems almost impossible that the
tariff bill can be crowded through this
session, unless one or more Of tile appro-
priatioa bills are sacrificed. The chances
against the admission Of Dakota and the
passage OF the intermediate Court bill are
also increasing every day.

SENATOR WooDrARp's resolution ,proyid-
ing for prompt and practical steps to raise
money to pay what the State owes and run
the government, is such resolution as
should have been passed atonce. 1t comes
under the head Of urgency. But the
majority did not take this view OF 1t, and
this matter OF great importance Is prac'
tically smothered by a solid Democ ratio
vote. Unless the Democrats are de-
termined to dodge again we are at loss to
know what they are driving at II they
accept the proposition that the State gov
ernment can not run without money, they
must 20 step further and provide ways
and means to raise the money. This is
merely applying the ordinary principles OF
business to the grave business OF govern
meut. Senator Byrne's startling propo-
sition that the Constitution is so elastic that
it may be construed to meet the emergency
may be good Democratic doctrine, but it
is not the doctrine on which stablegovern'
mcnt is founded. .

United States Senator from Colorado, to
recover $50 900 damages, was begun in the
supremc Court, Circuit, Part III, before
Judge Donohue and jury yesterday. The
plaintiffs claim is based upon an alleged
agreement by which Senator Chaffee was
10 have advanced the money necessary to
complete the purchase Of share OF the sill

near I.cadyille.
Mr.. ChalIee, in his answer to the com.

In the spring OF 1870 10 secure the option
OF purchasing the mine. He denies that
he agreed positively 10 take six.sixteenths
or any other part Of the mine, but was to
have the option, II he saw ct to exercise It,
OF acquiring an interest in Inc property by
making the payments necessary to be
made. Mr.. ChaiTre claims that upon ex.

OF a purely secular education. Our com.
plant Ia that the system which they es.
pouse does not go far enough.
We want our children to receive an edu.
cation which will make them not only
learned, but pious men. We want them
to be not only polished members Of so.
ciety, but also conscientious Christians.
We desire for them a training that will
form their hearts, as well as expand their
minds. We wish them to be not only
men OF the world, but above all, men OF
God. =
The number Of pupils now attending the
parochial schools, colleges and academies
OF the diocese is estimated at 1850, be.
sides 1900 children who are clothed, sup.
ported and educated in our industrial
schools and asylums. The education OF
these children, ifthey were trained at the
public expense, would cost the State up
wards OF $3.50 600 year.
These figures present a very creditabie
exhibit, and are an evidence OF the warm
and practical interest manifested by our
clergy and people in the cause Of charity
and Christian education.
By renewed efforts, however, thenumDer
OF children attending our schools Canbe
considerably augmented. There are still
few parishes ia which, owing to excep-
tional difficulties, hitherto existing, schools
could not be conveniently established.
We trust that the time has come when
these obstacles can be surmounted, and
that steps will be soon taken to open schools
in the few parishes remaining without
them. II ia our earnest wish that every
country parish in the diocese, consisting Of
three hundred souls or more, withinGa
radius OF three miles, should havea parish
school. We know that the difficulties are
great. Our jealous clergy are often obliged
TO visit their hocks scattered over a large
territory, and sometimes with scanty
means at their disposal. But the Difficult:
ties are not unsurmountable. Pastoral
zeal and Catholic liberality are inexhaus.
tible.

CuArrANoooA, January PA horrible
nurder was perpetrated last night in Wal
ker county, Ga, eight miles from this city.
H. II. Rudd, q respectable farmer aged 70
years, was found in his doorway with his
head split open with an axe, and fright
fully cut from an axe in his breast. There
is no clue, but it is thought 1t was the work
OF two negroes, who were seen in that
vicinity the night before with axes. The
old man lived alone, and was supposed to
have had considerable money, and it was
to obtain this that the crime was COM
mitted.
