Considerable excitement was caused
Monday throughout Paris, caused by the
report that President Carnot WAS shot
The rumor proved untrue, but there was
foundation for it. The president was
present at the official opening of a new
thoroughfare, where he received an en-
thusiastic welcome. Suddenly man,
wild-eyed and making insane gestures,
forced his way through the crowd, rushed
to the carriage and fired a pistol at Car
not, the man shouting: "I'll prove there
are more bastiles to be demolished"
The man was promptly arrested, and
such was the anger of the crowd pres
ent that officers had the greatest diff

becoming victim of popular fury. 1t
was soon learned the prisoner was mad
man and had just been released from
confinement in a lunatic asylum.

In the suit of the Edison Electric
Light company against the United States
Electric Light company for infringe
nent of patent on the incandescent
light, Judge Wallace of the New York
court, Tuesday rendered decision in
avor of Edison. The decision broadly,
'quarely and fully sustains Edison's
patent. Judge Wallace also orders an
Injunction against the defendant and an
accounting of profits for past manufac-
ure. The present output of incandes
,ent lamps in this country is about So
100 daily. Only half of this number are
low made by the Edison company. The
patent was sustained by two appellate
courts in England, and the decision of
Judge Wallace apparently agrees with
he English decisions. It is thought
he Thomson Houston and Westing
louse companies will continue their
business much as before. The patent
las only two or three years more to run.
The United States company, against
whom the decision was rendered, in
ends to take an appeal at once.
The town of Huntington, Conn.,, is
realty agitated over the action of the
exton and warden of the st. Paul Epis- |
opal church in having Olin H. Shelton |
rrested for ringing the church bell July |
!, and the sexton and warden are sub
acts of much ridicule. All patriotic
itizens and all women and girls of the
own are on Shelton's side. The first
utburst occurred Sunday morning,
hen the proprietors of the town hall
1formed the warden that the church
ould never again rent the hall for any
urpose unless the charges against Shell
IN were withdrawn. The next shot
anne from the young ladies of the
hurch, who are all friends of Shelton,
nd who informed the pastor they would
ever again assist in any church enter
ainment unless the charges we're with
rawn. Then the village barber said he
ould never again shave either the war
an or sexton unless the charges we're
ithdrawn. AS a consequence the war
sn has withdrawn his complaint, but
le sexton is still obdurate. Shelton is
1t on bail and is receiving congratula-
ry letters and kilograms and offers of
elp from lawyers.
A horrible railroad accident occurred
Aspen junction, Colorado, on the
idland road, Saturday. A special ,

yitch to the Aspen track, when the ;
ar end of a passenger coach crashed .
to an engine coming out from the =

It water and steam poured into the !;
oxen end of the passenger car, horri .
y scalding thirteen passengers, five g

ore or less iniuring twelve more. All q

Is probably due to an error of judg- !,
mt on the part of the "hostler" in
