cyclone that ever was experienced in this

people. Large districts in several sections
of the city are in absolute ruin and women

a PATRIOTS DEATH.
French Soldier Who Fought in Two Wars
Suicides in the Woods at Fontainebleau.


Suicides in the Woods at Fontainebleau.
[Special to THE Observation-Disclosures Cable. /
Paris, Aug. 19-The latest suicide with
which Paris rings is that of an old soldier
and member of one of the most notable
and honorable families of France. The
other morning while a forester was making
his rounds in the Gautier woods at Fon-
tainebleau he discovered hanging from a
tree the body of a man apparently about
forty eight years of age. After calling as
sistance the body was taken down and con-
veyed to the morgue. The unfortunate
manwore in his buttonhole the green rib
bon OF the medal of Italy and in his pockets
were found papers which showed him to be
the Comte de Sauley Guerin, born Febru-
airy "a, 1887, hereditary owner of a large
estate and considerable property which
has all beel lost to the family by and since
the Franco German war.
The poor fellow when mere youth
fought in the Crimea and his papers showed
he had been at the battle of Alma, though
he could not have been more than seven
teen or eighteen years of age at the time.
The brave soldier had gained nothing more
from his devotion to his fatherland than
poverty and starvation. Among other let
tiers found upon him was one addressed
ITO whom it may concern" which said he
had tried every means for gaining a liveli-
hood, but having failed in all, he was
driven at last ~ his extreme misery and
hunger to take LIS life. He prayed that the
Creator who had given him breath and
strength to forgive his last sin, which was
not committed until he had tried and failed
to find and other way out of his trouble.

The huge stack of the Kyle planning mill
fell on man and two horses and all were
killed. A little colored girl was killed by a
falling building on South Main street.
Two men suffered death by the falling of
a portion of Stegmaier's brewery and a
third incurred the same fate through the
almost complete demolition of S. S. Browns
brick business block on Market street
There are undoubtedly fifteen or sixteen
others killed. Many poor people suffered
heavy losses, and it will be months
before the damage can be re-
paired, fully two hundred buildings being
blown down or otherwise damaged. Many
OF the structures were of large size and
great value. The Murray shaft fan house
was blown down and the fan stopped.
There are twenty seven men in the mine
but it is hoped they can be got out safely.
Later-7:3O p.m.-Reports come from
Sugar Notch, mining town three miles
from here, that the destruction of property
is terrible and fifteen persons were killed
at Parsons and Mill Greek, four miles from
here. Coal breakers in all directions have

A Horrible Accident Near Boston.

BosToN, Aug. 19--One of the most disas-
trous railroad accidents that ever occurred
in the vicinity of Boston and one that rivals
the famous Wollaston disaster of October
., 1873, occurred this afternoon and on the
same road, the Old Colony, and very near
the same locality. In the Wollaston disas-
ter fifteen were killed and nearly one hun
dred injured. TO day fifteen persons were
killed and twenty three seriously Injured.
three fatally and several more sustaing
slight injuries.
The train wrecked to-day was the
Woodshall express, which was due in Bos-
ton at 30 p. m. 1t consisted of a loco
motive, baggage car, smoker, Pullman Car
and TOUR ordinary coaches, heavily loaded.
Inc train had passed Quincy station, run
ming ten miles per hour, and just beyond
the Presidents bridge the engine left the
track, plunged into an embankment twelve
feet nigh, the tender, baggage car, smoker
and Pullman passing by the engine, and
were stretched along for a distance of
one hundred feet along the track The
foremost passenger coach left the
rails and fell upon it's left side
upon the engine. The lower forward
portion was torn to pieces and of the pas
sengers in the cars, some fifty in number,
many were thrown into the corner, from
which eleven dead bodies were afterwards
taken out. Escaping steam and smoke
from the engine instantly filed
the car The forward cars were
forced up over the outward bound
train, completely blocking traffic all
day and night Only three persons on
the head passenger coach were injured.
These were the fireman, who was instantly
killed and buried under the engine, the
engineer and Pullmarcar conductor, Ben
son, were both badly injured In the
three rear. passenger coaches the occu-
pants received no worse injuries than
a slight shaking up. The first passenger
coach was the principal scene of death and
agony, and the experiences of the unlucky
occupants were probably never exceeded in
horror and suffering in any railroad wreck
of recent years. The killed are: Mrs.
Ericutt Allen, Philadelphia; Mrs. Mary e..
Fannenry, aged 70, Louisville; E. j. John
son, Montpelier, Vt; John Ryan, fireman
of the train; four women, two men and two
children, unidentified.

Especial to THE HERALD-Examiner Dispatch. I
New YORK, Aug. 19.-Howell Osborne
has suddenly jumped into notoriety again
and again it is in connection with Fay
Templeton. This time, however, if the
story be true, he has run up against United
States officials and his present escapade
may result seriously. AS the matter stands
now he is believed by the customs officials
to be implicated in an attempt to smuggle
large amount of valuable diamonds
through the custom house and have them
placed IN the possession of his companion
Fay Templeton. The diamonds and other
lewelry have not yet been appraised but at
the custom house they aresaid to be worth
at least S25, 0C0.
The jewelry sliced was found on the
person or Henry Herschy, who was a pas
senger on Normandie from Havre.
Herschy's baggage was all right but the
inspectors thought he acted in suspicious
manner. They thought he ought to be
searched, and they did it. The jewelry
sliced comprised one necklace set with
thirty diamonds, one diamond bracelet.
four diamond rings, two pairs of diamond
earrings. one pair of diamonds being
costly solltalres, one diamond and ruby
ring, one gold scent bottle with the initials

necklace set with diamonds and rubies, one

toilet articles, and one pair of gold mounted
opera glasses.
Howell Osborne has been living abroad
for nearly five years. Now his creditors
compel him to do this. They have iudg
ments against him amounting to several
hundred thousand dollars. Osborne was in
San Francisco when the smash came and
Fay Templetcn was with him. He
promptly started for Canadian soil taking
his inamorata with him. At Halifax thew
took steamship for England. Osborne has
been in this country only once since leav-
ing San Francisco and then he disguised
his appearance by cropping off his hair and
shaving his moustache. This was early in
1888 when he transferred his property here
to his mother. Fay Templeton has been
back and forth between here and Europe a
dozen times. Young Osborne was left a
fortune of 100000 at the death OF his ia
ther about 1885. Ee led gay life and a
large fraction of his wealth quickly slipped
through his fingers. He started a brokers'
office in Wall street and got rid of thou
sands more.

ties" to go to Australia with him and
marry him anyway, but she declined.

staunch friend for so many years. Ac-
cording to the terms of the Duke of Man
