GENERAL BouLANGER.

General Boulanger committed suicide In
the cemetery of Ixelles, one mile south Of
Brussels Belgium, on the tomb Of Mime. de
Bonnemain.
he killed himself about noon. He stood
alone by the gave Of his mistress for some
time, appearing to be deeply affected
BY sorrowful recollections. An at
tendant Of the General, who had
from Nine. de Bonnemain's tomb, suddenly
heard sharp report In that direction Rum
ming to the spot. the attendant found Gen
eral Boulanger lying dead upon the ground
with revolver clenched In his right hand.
A hasty examination Of the body showed
that the dead man had placed the weapon to
his right ear and fired the fatal shot.
General Boulanger went to Brussels from
London few months ago. Recently he has
not occupied his former gorgeous residence
on the Avenue Louise, but owing to re-
duced means, has been compelled to live in
a small hotel, where his apartments
were very different from those he had
been accustomed to as General of the
French Army, as Minister of War, or as the
friend Of Mime. de Bonnemain- He had been
gloomy and nervous, and, his friends say,
had been inconsolable since the death OF
Mme de Bonnemain. He had aged percepti-
bly,, and was much thinner than during his
more pkOSpeIOuS uhJS.
Every day at about four In the afternoon
he has, since Mime. de Bonnemain's death,
gone to the cemetery at Ixelles and deposited
some handsome floral emblem, generally q
crown, upon her grave. He would stay by
the grave for some moments, sometimes for
an hour, either engaged in prayer or in deep
thought.
In the carriage which had carried him,
living, to the cemetery. he was taken, dead,
tohis home His niece, In a swoon, lay be-
side him. Hisdeath was entered on the po-
lice register, one line, no more, as IL he were
q ruined gambler. The police went to his
lodging and stood guard at the doors, allow
ing nobody to enter.
In five minutes the wires had carried the
news to the Foreign Office in Paris:
tBoulanger is deadf'
His aged mother and two of his nieces
remained at the hotel where he used to
live, in complete ignorance Of his death.
It was arranged that he should be buried
beside his friend in the same vault, but in
spite of persistent entreaties the Archbishop
Of Malines refused absolutely to allow the
performance of any religious services in con-
nection with the burial
Mime. Boulanger, wife of the dead General,
is described as being somewhat of religieuse
and woman of modest and domestic in
stincts Reports as to her attitude toward
General Boulanger since his notorious infatu-
alton for Mime. de Bonnemain differ.

this the General was despatched to Cler-

his departure.
When the Limousin scandal broke upon

the recent state meeting Of the Farm

there was an organization within the

ance. 1t was the knowledge of the ex-
istence of this force element" that de-
feated the subtreasury resolution
which was championed, especially by
the latter element.
The force party had forty-eight dele
gates in the convention. One of them,
speaking to a reporter about the organ
ization, said: IF the minority will not
do what the majority wills it, it is high
time for the maj ority to hang the min

bullets will, and there are a lot of us
pledged to go that far

FOUR LIVES LOST.


A Fatal Wreck Near Troy, Ind, Causing
the Loss of Four Lives and the Injury
of Thirteen Persons-The Imprisoned

by Escaping Steam-The Wounded Being

EVANSVILLE, Ind, Sept. IA wreck
occurred on the Cannelton branch of the
Air Line railroad about IL o'clock yes
terday morning, in which four lives
were lost, thirteen persons were badly
hurt and eighteen slightly injured.
The flange of one of the forward trucks
of the engine broke while the train was
running at the rate of about so miles
an hour. The train at the time was on
a trestle two miles from Troy, Ind.
The engine passed over the trestle and
plunged down the embankment. The
train was mixed one, the passenger
coach being next to the engine. The
coach followed the engine into the
ditch and rolled over on top of it. 1t
was occupied by about thirty people
The steam pipes gave way and the
scalding steam entered the coach.
Many OF the passengers were women
and children. Their screams were APP
palling. As soon as those who were
slightly injured extricated themselves,
they began the work of rescue. All
were gotten out, but none escaped in
jury. Many were SO badly burned that
their flesh was cooked in places until it
came off.

HOW Much q Ely Weighs.

A Southern grocer, being greatly an
noyed by flies, distributed twenty one
sheets of sticky fy-paper about his
store. In the evening he gathered them
up, and noticing how much heavier
they were, concluded to weigh them.
He accordingly placed the twenty-one
sheets with their loads of dead flies
upon the scales. They tipped the beam
at exactly seven pounds. Then he
placed twenty-one fresh sheets on the
scales and found that they weighed but
four pounds and four ounces. Thus
the flies were shown to weigh two
pounds and twelve ounces. He next
commenced to figure on the matter and
found there were twenty flies to each
square inch of the hy-paper; each sheet
had 1856 square inches and 6,72o flies,
the twenty-one sheets containing in
all 141, 120 flies. Thus it is plain that
one can easily ascertain the exact
weight of single fly, for if 141, 12o flies
weigh two pounds and twelve ounces it
is easy to calculate what one would
weigh. Chicago Times
