PEACE IN PARIS.
The 1T ecent Election Resulting Annie. ably Among the Different Factions The Crisis Passed.

The + ecent Election Resulting Amic-
 ably Among the Different Factions
 The Crisis Passed.
 LONDON, Oct. 20.-The crisis in France is passed. A monarchial success would un- doubtedly have precipitated a Radical out break and the results might have justified the fears of the most pessimistic prophets. The strain which would have occasioned such violent action on the part of the most rabid anti-monarchists has been prevented by the people themselves and the peace-loving els- ment of the Republican party who were really the cause of the conster- nation have revised their wholesale attacks on the Radical and thus forsta1led a which would have been the very thing they were trying most zealously to avoid The Republican majority, which is now assured, has dismissed all fears of disturbances in Paris and the Moderate party has won cer- tain victory and the exclusion of the consum- nation of the plans of either extreme, Mon arch or Radical. One of the results of this has been that Brisson, Clemenceau, Floquet and Bert are elected to double seats. The second ballots show that that part of the re- public who voted the Conservative ticket on the first ballot with the idea of crowding out the violent Radicals by making large and formidable conservative minority and thus mark their disapproval of the opportu- mist policy took an opposite course as soon as the full result of their victory became evi- dent. They turned square around when it was seen this policy had nearly restored to monarchy and laid the foundation for a new revolution. Some cabinet changes are cer- tain, however, despite the victory of the Re- publicans. MT. Grevy only consented to test the presidency on condition that M. de Freycinet should also become premier in the re-elected administration. M. Grevy in- tends to soon resign in favor of M. de Frey cinet, thus retiring from the government without causing the commotion and uncer- tainty which would have resulted from his refusing to head the ticket.

 Pratt The Careless operator-The
 coroner To Investigate.
 NEW YORK, Oct. 20.-A gang of men are still at work clearing up the wreck on the Hackensack meadow where the terrible col hslon occurred Sunday night. No more bodies were discovered to-day, but it is be- ieved body will yet be found to which the detached leg belongs, which cannot be fitted to any of the bodies now at the morgue. Iralns are now running regularly past the spot. The injured at St. Francis hospital, Jersey City, are getting well and will all live. Pratt, the operator, whose error caus- ed the accident, was visited to-day by his wife and several friends at his cell, at police headquarters. His mental suffering in re- hscting upon the consequences of his carelessness seems to be acute. He is excessively nervous Coroner Hughes of Bergen Point, who will have con- trol of the inquest, will begin the investiga- tion Thursday. While not wishing to preju- dice the case he ventures the opinion that others may possibly have to share with Pratt the responsibility fer the disaster. He in tends to sift the rumors about Flagman Rhoades of the emigrant train failing to run back with lantern to protect his train as the rules require.

 interest in the case by relating to two Man
 chester gentlemen secret which has kept for years. He says client of his named
 Pierson, who was hung for wife murder, previous to his execution confessed to him that he killed MT.

Pierson, after failing to get his money, drove to Manchester from Lowell, called Parker out on some prete1t or other, and when the two were on the way to Janesville killed him with shoe knife.

 WEST QUINCY, Mass, Oct. BOA myste- 'rious tragedy has overshadowed this little town with gloom.

Five Young Girls Who Purchase
 Whisky and Beer and Get Very
 Drunk-In the Police Station.
 LOWELL, Mass, Oct 20.-Ths five young girls who were arrested last night for drunk enness made things warm all night by their profanity and ribald songs. They gave their names, ages and residences as follows: Min nie Grant and Maggie Grant, sisters, aged re- spectively twelve and eleven; Katie Lynch, aged twelve; Mamie White, aged thirteen, and Katie Mullen, aged twelve. It appeared that the Mullen girl received $2 yesterday morning for work done in boarding house. She hunted up the other four girls, purchas- ed two half pints of whisky at barroom and they walked to an open lot on Pawtucket street. Here they drank repeated potations and proceeded to walk to Dracutt, singing, shouting and causing general disturbance, and returning to Lowell and obtaining tin pail bought two quarts of beer and returned to the lot. This they also drank. Finally their actions became so noticeable and disa- greeable that the residents sent for the po- lice. Four of the girls accused the Mullen girl of enticing the girls away to drink, but the latter said they had accompanied her willingly and drank the liquor and beer. The girls were so drunk that they could hardly tell connected story, and they made charges and counter charges against each other. They called each other the most shocking names and their conduct was equal to that of the toughest virago that was ever brought into the station.
