The Republique Radcale has startled all
Paris this evening by the publication of
long and circumstantial account of the sys-
tematic bribery which it declares has been
supporting the scheme to induce the govern
ment to buy out railroads not already under

that many members of the Chamber of Dep

the scheme, and that nearly all these had
large bonus in prospect if their efforts
were successful. 1t even gives some
names and indicates many others The
case made out by the paper is one of the
completest cases of political scandal on a
large scale ever made out, and involves so
many fa-crlte names that the Chamber will
undoubtedly be compelled to order an in

A Desperate Struggle Between Two Cor
victs in a Prison Cell.


victs in a Prison Cell.
JOLIET July Yesterday morning about
o'clock the night guard in the west wing
at the prison heard loud yelling, which pro-
ceeded from one of the cells on the fifth or
top gallery. The yells were accompanied by
a noise indicating violent struggle. Secur
ing the keys the guard ran up to the place
from whence the disturbance came as quickly
as possible, where he discovered that VIM.
Lowe, one-year larceny man from Chicago,
and his cell-mate were engaged in a terrific
encounter. Lowe was underneath and his
cell-mate on top of him vainly trying to get
knife away from him, with which he SEEM
ed desperately resolved to take his own life.
His cell-mate made almost superhuman
efforts to prevent it, fearing that he would be
accused of numbering him. Lowe had
| already made one cash upon his throat but
not deep enough to be fatal. The guard
assisted by the captain of the night-watch,
separated them and took Lowe from the CELL
He still held the knife in a vice-like grasp
so that his fingers had to be almost broken
before he would relax his hold. When they
had succeeded in getting the knife away
from him he attempted to throw himself
from the gallery to the stone floor below, and
being powerful man. almost succeeded.
