ALL EYES ON BOULANGER.
Who Will Some Day Be President
of the French.

LONDON, Dec. 3O.-The French cab
met is experiencing much difficulty in
the selection of candidate to succeed
the late NJ. Hude in the chamber of
deputies for the department of the
Seine. NJ. Vanquerie, who was first
named as a candidate, has abandoned
the idea of contesting the seat upon the
suggestion of NJ. Ffoquet, who deemed
his candidacy unwise, not to say risky;
and as yet no one has been found
willing to try conclusions with the Man
of Destiny. Meanwhile Gen. Boulanger
and his friends are making great prep
arations for the contest. The general
has written a letter resigning his seat
for the department of the NOrd, though
he has not yet presented it. He makes
strong bid for the support of the Con-
servatives by announcing that if he
should ever be elected president of the
republic he will at once rescind the de-
cree exiling the Orleans princes. If the
Comte de Paris should support Bou-
langer's candidacy, his election will be
made almost certain.
PARIS, Dec. 30.-A manifesto issued
by the new revolutionary group declares
that a commune is the sole remedy for
Boulangerism and Radicalism.
PARIS, Dec. 30.-Deputies Cluseret,
Ferroul, Pyat and Planteau have formed
revolutionary group, clubbing them
selves the commune. They have issued
a bombastic manifesto, declaring that
the commune of 1889 will save the ma
ton and republic by revolution, and
that its principal task is to overthrow
Boulanger. The manifesto is generally
ridiculed, but adds to the governments
difficulty. 1t is reported that M. Flo
quet is willing to contest the vacant
Paris seat against Boulanger, but NJ.
Clemenceau opposes the proposal.

Flames Sweep the Vessel
From Stem to Stern Al

Work of Firemen Proves of
Little Avail Against the
Fire Fiend.
Passengers Run for Life With
Their Wearing Apparel in
Their Hands.

NEWPORT, r. l., Dec. 30.-The
steamer Bristol, of the Old Colony line.
was burned at her dock this morning,
and is a total loss. She arrived from
New York about 2:3O a. M, landed all
her freight and her Fall RIVER and BOs-
ton passengers, and then departed at
the usual time for her destination.
There was left on board the steamer
only a few Newport passengers and
their personal baggage. At6:20 O'Clock,
just as the passenger train was drawing
out of the depot, fire was discovered on
the steamer, and an alarm was at once
given from the company's signal on the
premises. The fire started near the
kitchen, and spread with great rapidity,
rendering futile all efforts to stop its
progress. Three alarms were sounded
in rapid succession. Thousands of citi-
Zens were also attracted TO the spot by
the volume of fire and clouds of smoke
which came from the burning steamer.
The fire apparatus OH the steamer was
brought into use as soon as the flames
were discovered, and the crew worked
with great vigor to save the steamer,
but the joiner work of the state rooms,
saloon and stairways was as dry as
finder, and draughts through the
steamer caused fearfully rapid spread
of the flames. so that before the city
nre department arrived there was a
mass of fire sweeping her almost
FROM STEM TO STERN.
Some of the passengers still on board
did not understand the meaning of the
first alarm and were only aroused by
the cracking of the flames near by.
All succeeded in escaping, but some
with only portion of their clothing and
others by crawling over the railing near
the burning timber. One man, with
two little children, boy and girl, who
occupied a stateroom. was awakened by
the sound of cracking flames near by
and barely escaped, with his little ones
undressed, but with their clothing in
their hands. Another young man had
to borrow clothing in which to go to his
home in this city. All personal baggage
of the passengers was saved. When
the department. arrived the upper decks
and center of the steamer were mass
of flames, winch gave out such intense
heat that it could scarcely be borne at a
distance of several hundred feet. This
greatly impeded the work of the fire.
men. The flames had gained such
headway that they could only be fought
from the wharf side, while the great
heat and flying sparks endangered
buildings Oh the docks and steamers
lying OH either side of the wharf, and
constant effort was required on the part
of the firemen to prevent them from ig-
hitting. A dozen streams were pouring
into the flames with little apparent
effect for over an hour, while others
were employed in drenching the docks
and buildings.

Prof. Billy Clark, the Belfast Chicken.
Kilrain and Mitchell kept closely to
their rooms at the Southern during the

for them. The Parson stated that
letter had been forwarded tonight to
Kilrain'S New York backer to the effect
that he would meet the Sullivan party
in Buffalo. N. Y, on Jan. Z, and
the ParsOn stated the match will be
closed within ten days, or the party who
refuses to fight will be shown up. Mr..
Davies claimed that Kilrain was not
only willing but anxious to meet Sulli-
van, and would agree to anything in
reason to bring about the match. AS to
jackson, the Australian wonder, he did
not see money or glory in a meeting
with the black. There was nothing to
win and everything to lose. The ParsOn

SCARED BY SHEPARD.
A Text Which Ruined a Barber's
BuSineSS

New YORK, Dec. S0-The advertis-
ing of Scriptural notices has miscarried
in a Broadway barber shop. Elliott F.
Shepard, the philanthropic son-in-law
of Commodore Vanderbilt. has spent a
great deal OF money in placing Bible
quotations in the panels of elevated
railroad cars. The thought struck him
that an announcement could not be let
tered where spectator was more certain
to read it than if placed on the ceiling of
a barber shop. Therefore he arranged
with the proprietor of that concern
for some inscriptions neatly painted di-
rectly over the chairs. The work was
done. But the boss quickly observed
that the customers who came under his
own razor became nervouSly fidgety,
and on their next visit strangely avoid
ed his chair. His popularity as an ex-
pert shaver had been great, but now it
seemed TO he mySteriously destroyed.
At length he arrived at the truth. The
words on the ceiling over his chair, and
which the man therein was bound to
read, were Prepare to Meet Thy God"
Now. when you lie helplessly recum-
bent in chair, with man of rather
fierce aspect brandishing keen blade

MAD METHODISTS.
They Consider Inaugural Balls
Unmitigated Evils.

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, Dec. 3O.-The
Methodist ministers of the city, some
fifteen'in number, hold a weekly meet
ing to consult and outline their weeks
work. They will meet tomorrow as
usual. Considerable interest attaches
to the meeting. as it is expected the
reverend gentlemen will discuss the
question of the inaugural ball in Wash
ingtOn. The crusade against the
sinful ball seems to be confined to
the Methodist denomination, and unless
all signs fail, the discussion of the SUBJ
ject will prove warm one. Private
Secretary Haltord will probably attend
the meeting, as he is jealous MethO-
dist, and sometimes occupies pulpit
for an absent minister. lie is not OPP
posed to the inaugural ball, however. as
he expects to look in on the pageant
himself, and he will likely express his
sentiments to the assembled reverends.
IL is thought the ministers will agree
upon some concerted line of action in
the matter. either to drop the question
altogether or Ito carry the war into
Africa" None of the leading ministers
of the city made any reference to the
inaugural ball in their sermons to-day.

LUCY CALLED DOWN
When She Begins to Talk of
Rivers of Blood.

CHICAGO, Dec. 30.-About 400 people,
or as many as could crowd into
WaverIy hall, attended meeting of the
Socialistic Labor party, called for the
transaction of business and the promo
ton of socialistic doctrines. Mrs. Lucy
Parsons was present and made her
speech in the same hall which they
closed against her week ago.
Inspector Bonfield's men were in
the hall in citizens dress, but
did not interfere in any respect with
the proceedings. A resolution was
adopted unanimously imploring the aid
of the press and citizens generally, to
the end that the humbleSt citizen as
well as the politician may enjoy all the
rights guaranteed by the Declaration of
independence and the constitution of
the United States. Tommy Morgan,
local leader of the socialists, made
very conservative speech, containing
many statements to which Mrs. Par
sons took exception. She said she could
not sit quietly and hear it stated that
those who are dead and silent in their
tombs had anything to do with the
throwing of the Havmarket bomb,
though in the war against tyrants all
things are iustifiable. She predicted
that before peace could be had in so-
ciety like that in this country rivers of
blood would have to run. When she
got to this point, the chairman inter
rupted her and said time was up.

suicide to-day by putting bullet
through his brain. He was found dead
in his room in the capitol building
shortly after the deed by another en-

deliberately, for he was found reclining
easily in chair with his feet crossed
and resting on another chair in front.
His spectacles were slightly moved
around as though to be out of the way
of the bullet, which entered just back
of the right ear, passing clear through.
The weapon was found on the floor,
where it had dropped from his hand.
The deceased wOS very cultured Ger
man, having a military education. He
had served in both the German and
British armies, and had seen service in
India and South Africa. He left
Europe to enter the Union army at the
outbreak of the civil war, and was
made captain. For the past eleven
years he had been employed in the
state capitol. Drink and sickness are
given as the cause of his act. He had
talked about ending his life for the past
two years, but no attention was ever
paid to it by officers about the capitol.

worldly pride, an evil press

QUEENSTOWN, Dec. 30.-On the ar
rival of the Lord Cough from Philadel-
phia tonight detectives boarded the
ship outside the harDOr to arrest the
Swiss named Hans Kuhni, who COM
mitted brutal murder in Dane county,

lowing description of the accused from
Gov. J. NJ. Rusk: "Age twenty-siX
years; height, five feet six inches; light
complexion, slight scar on back of the
head. ears pierced and wears small gold
earrings" They were not furnished
with the name of the murdered
man. Boarding the steamship one
detective asked the captain to
stop the ship and not proceed to Liver
pool until the accused was discovered.
Another detective searched the steerage
department and found Kuhni lying in
his bunk, obviously hiding. He charged
him at once with the murder. He re-
piled in foreign tongue, shaking MS
head in the negative. The detective
then arrested him and brought him
ashore before magistrate, who re-
manded him. The prisoner had only
two small valises and ticket to Basle,
Switzerland. The police authorities
communicating with the American le-
CATION in London have advices from the
United States that an agent leaves at

sengers and appeared strange in his
movements. A reporter tried to see the
prisoner in his cell tonight, but ne re-
