Paris CHILLED.
The Gay Capital Biighted by Cold Weather.
An Interesting story.

Dunlap Special Cable TO The Times.l
PARIS, June 1S.-Starting in with last Sun
day this city of light has been treated to a
display of weather which has been tantalizing
to a degree. although it might possibly com.
mend itself TO the English whose notions Of
climate are somewhat eccentric. being based
upon that which they enjoy at home. Even
to-day, although the sun is shining brightly
as it can shine only in Paris the weather re-
mains cold and uncomfortable. AS tar
as ones feelings go we might be IN the middle
of March instead of in the month OF roses.
This condition of affairs is unfortunate from
every point of view Already the hotels are
feeling its i'll effects They were crowded
TO suffocation last week with visitors who
were in the city for the Grand Prix. AS soon
as that all-absorbing subject was disposed OF
the thermometer began to fall, while the dark
clouds which had gathered quickly obscured
the clear blue TO which we are accustomed 20
look at and people were heard asking one
another: Where shall we goI'
Almost with one accord various parties be-
gan TO get their baggage together; cabs were
called and instruction given TO drive 70 the
nearest railway station. Paris having acted
as a magnet TO attracted fashion and wealth
TO itself, now seemed 10 consider i its duty
10 exercise the other property of magnet
ard repel what il had before brought to
itself. The result is that the hotels are
all more or less deserted by their
transtory population, and the bouleyards
have an appearance which is strangely at va
rance with their accustomed brightness OF
color and general activity. Members OF the
large American colony which at tins season
is usually TO be found in the city appear also
to be following the example of those who
have gone to seek more congenial
climate. AS result the cafes, chantants
in the champs elysees and the open
air restaurant in the Jardin de Paris
are bereft of the patrons who are always
anxiously looked for by the proprietors, who
are in consequence in despair, as they fear
that should the cold weather continue much
longer the season will be ended and the fash
ionables will have migrated to London 10

season, end then their despair will end in the
clutches of bankruptcy.

A frightful accident was narrowly averted
this morning. One of the motors under a
Pleasant Valley electric car failed while max
ing the long ascent on Troy hill. There were
one hundred and fifty people on the car at
mountain side and crashed into cab in
which were two helpless cripples. throwing
the cab to one side, panic ensued.
People on the front and rear platforms
were pushed or fell from the car
and several were painfully injured. Finally
the car wa stopped. About fifty people
alighted. The car attempted to ascend the
hill, but again at the steepest part the motor
failed. and the car rushed down the hill and
jammed into following car. Only two of
the terribly frightened passengers were
seriously hurt. The passengers gladly vacated
the car and walked up the long ascent.

Wood That Resists Fire.

In u recent western fire it was again
demonstrated in the clearest manner
possible that California redwood as q
building material comes nearer being
fireproof than almost any other material
Of which buildings are constructed. In
this instance a fire broke out in the up
per part of one story building while
the wind was blowing gale that was
recorded at the United States signal sta
ton as moving at the average rate Of
thirty miles an hour. But notwithstand-
ing this, and the fact that it was several
minutes before water was got to the
building, the fir laths under the plaster
were burned downward nearly to the
floor, and whole squares Of the side plas-
tering were thus loosened and fell in be-
fore the fire had burned through the
thin redwood single roof
It was a most wonderful illustration
Of the fire resisting qualities of redwood.
Had the whole building been as COM
bustible as the laths nothing could have
saved the city. The roof was old and as
thoroughly ready for the flames as red
wood ever becomes, yet the fact remains
that it resisted the ignition, and bystand-
ers could see seething furnace Of
flames through the apertures under the
caves, while nothing but smoke issued
through the roof. The peculiar manner
in which redwood smothers fame and
prevents its flashing forth is an impor-
tant fact in suppressing conhagrations,
as fires are communicated to neighbor-
ing buildings by means Of the external
flames and sparks which they send up
