Deadly Tragedies.
SCENE OF TORTURE AT MADRID.

The Blood Curdling Execution of Young
Woman by Means of the Garrote-Deati
Dealing Cyclone i'm France-The Great
Fire at Martinique's Capital.
Every once in while, as, for instance
after the execution of Kemmler, foreign
newspapers and magazines serve to their
readers highly seasoned romances regard
ing the perils of life in America, the dan
gers of travel and the continuous turbu-
lence of the elements. The impression Is
conveyed that the average American citi-
zen shoots on sight, hangs people as in
clination moves him, smashes up trains
through recklessness, and spends his leis-
ure concealed from the tempest's constant
wrath in a cyclone cave.
1t is hardly worth while to controvert the
cherished and harmless misconceptions of
the ''outlanders," but it may not be un-
timely to call attention to the fact that
people are as wicked, cruel or negligent,
and storm and fire as relentless elsewhere
as within the bounds of the United States.
The London and Paris journals speak with
horror of Kemmler's sufferings in the cha:r
of death, but his tortures were as not +. :;

WRECKED BY THE FRENCH CYCLONE.
pletely swept away. Three villages about
as large, in an adjacent commune, were
destroyed. Similar damage was inflicted
elsewhere, and there is reason TO suspect
that the loss of life is underestimate by
the French papers. Their explanation is
that from three to five minutes elapsed be-
tween the beginning of the tornado and its
most destructive stage, giving people time
to avoid the most dangerous places.
The appearance of the devastated dis
tricts was very strange. The trees were
not uprooted rs in the United States, but
their branches were stripped off. House
roofs were not always blown off, but the
houses were twisted TO ruin under them
Bridge structures were broken into heaps,
leaving the piers standing Many other
effects were quite different from those no
ticed in the Uuiesstl sseates-posSybIy due
the nature of the storm, apuitgp POSSIBLY to
the method Of building.
To give aid to the cyclone sufferers will
now be the task of the journalists of Paris,
who have already honorably distinguished
themselves by leading in the organization
of relief committee to carry aid to the
people of Fort de France, Martinique,
which was largely destroyed by fire some
weeks since. The committee has lately re
ported to the French papers that 1000
houses were destroyed and some 10000 PEG
pie rendered homeless just before the be
ginning of the autumnal rains.
To appreciate the calamity to all France,
and especially to Paris, one must remem
Der that Martinique is Frances most val
ued possession in western waters, and in
many respects the most delightful place in
the West Indies; that it maintains closer
connection with France than any other
colony, and that nearly all the officials and
active business men are temporary resi-
dents whose homes and near relatives are
in France The property loss by the fire
was S., 100000
Along other lines of disaster it is the
custom of foreign papers to refer shudder-
ingly to the Ashtabula railway horror
Dreadful as was that catastrophe, however,
it did not equal the Tay bridge tragedy in
Scotland, where whole train went to the
bottom of the firth and not one of the 800
passengers came up alive.

spike presses on the hollow at the DacK or
the neck and base of the brain In some
forms of the garrote this spike darts up
ward and inward to the brain, and it is
claimed that death is instant and perfectly
painless.
France has shut out the American hog,
but has failed to shut out the American
cyclone. AT least one might SO judge from
the comments of French papers on the
destructive tempest which lately swept
over the northern belt of that country, for
they compare it with the so called cyclone
or the United States and point out that II
is not so destructive. In fact the Amer
lean tornado is not really cyclone but let
that pass; the French article was suffi-
GENTLY destructive, as it wrecked about
500 houses and churches, sweeping some
entirely away, but only moving and par
tially destroying the majority. The loss of
life was surprisingly small Probably not
more than forty persons were killed out
right. though many hundreds were injured
in various degrees, and at least 5000 labor
ers are thrown out of employment by the
destruction of mills, shops and forests and
the covering of fields by sand and debris.
The small loss of life Is largely due to
the fact that the people had warning, and
this constitutes the peculiar feature of the
case Two lines of storm, so to speak, met;
one passed over Dunkerque and bore
little south and east, the other over Havre
and Paris, bearing east. The rain which
followed was so heavy and continuous
that great gulches were torn in the hill
sides and the sand and gravel carried over
the cultivated valleys while many ami
mails, with stables and sheds, were literally
washed away.
BY a strange chance Capt. Lejeuille, of
DreuX, where the two storms met, wit
messed all the phenomena, and though
thrown violently to the ground had nerve
to take note OF each stage in the affair. He
relates that after an excessively hot day
there suddenly appeared two very black
clouds moving with great rapidity toward
a common point; they met, there was a
rush of air whirling around a central
point an awful and continuous thunder
with brilliant lightning and after it del
uge of rain, the whole lasting not more
than ten minutes.
The sky cleared, and though it was then
10 p. m the ruin was visible. Dion and
DreuX suffered considerably. Ranchette,
a hamlet of twenty-five houses, was COM

and told so many different stories that nc
less than twenty persons were arrested OF
her testimony and held till they proved
alibis. Among these was the son of the
murdered woman, the Marquis de Valera.
He proved that he was then in Jail serv-
ing a Short sentence for a brutal assault,
but several persons testified that they saw
him on the streets that evening The of
ficers of the prison were thus put under
suspicion, and the people reasoned very
naturally that they would strain every
nerve to convict the girl The marquis
was on bad terms with his mother, who
was very wealthy, and had been heard to
wish that she was dead
Higinia was then closely confined, and
subjected to incessant opportunities by
officials and priests, as result of which
she finally confessed that she and one
Dolores Avila had committed the murder.
No motive could be assigned as there was
no robbery, and no i'll feeling could be
proved Both women were convicted, but
Dolores got off with q sentence to seven
teen years Imprisonment The most hor
rible stories became current. A favorte
theory with many was that Dolores was
the real murderer, and was hired to do the
deed by the victims son
For twenty-four hours before her exccu-
tion Higinia was seated "in chapel as
the Spanish phrase and custom is, in full
view of all who chose to attend, while con
slant relays of priests chanted prayers by
her side. Eighteen months interviewed 5e

strong was the pressure to secure her par
don and release. The government finally
refused to interfere and the Madrid execu-
TONER was instructed to make ready. He
was so agitated by the taunts of the crowd,
many of whom believed the girl innocent,
that he turned the screw of the garrote be-
fore making the collar perfectly tight,
The results were horrible The girl
moaned piteously and struggled for min
ute or two, and when the covering of her
face was removed, according to custom, a
cry of horror and disgust arose from the
crowd. Many women tainted. Her face
was hideous and her tongue protruded,
black and swollen, as the result of slow
strangulation. Yet such is the morbid
curiosity of mankind on such matters that
during the ten hours the body remained
exposed, according to Spanish law, almost
every person in Madrid went to look at it,
