PARIS, Feb. e.-Juan Louis Ernest
MelssonIer, the famous painter, died In
this city yesterday from bronchitis.
MeissoDier's life work Is represented by
some 4a0 pictures, valued at $40, 900. 600.
All Of his pictures are very small, most
Of them being no larger than sheet of
letter paper. A high moral and In
tellectral standard shone out boldly
In all OF Meissonier's works, an
pealing strongly to these qualities
rather than to the sensuously artjs-
tic. The best known of ell his works IA
'.18i4," which shows Napoleon ON his re-
treat from Moscow. Another on the
same subject Is called .sls07," Cepicting
Napoleon at the zenith OF his power.
which was purchased by the iate A. r.
Stewart Tor 860, ,O0O IL Is now N the
Metropolitan Museum OF Art IN New
York. Mrs. John w. Maksy had an
unpleasant experience with the great
painter some years ago. She sat to
Meiss0nier for her portrait, but refused
10 pay the price Asked-x20, COCOON the
ground that IL was not good likeness.
Meissonier, wild with rage, went to the
French courts, which decided that Mrs.
Mackay must take the picture and pay
the price. She did 10, but Immediately
destroyed II.
No painter In any age himself received
such prizes for his work as Meissonier.
The highest price he received for any
one painting was for '.Isl4." which NJ
Secretan paid $40. 900 for. The artist re-
ceived nearly $1,000, 900 for his paint
.ngs, yet, NJ the time OF his death, he
was supposed to be embarrassed. In
ordinately vain, peevsh aud always
he Was very unpopular
among his fellow-artists and the public
1t large; but the latter, enthused by and
delighted with his productions, eener-
,usly overlooked the personal peculisri-
lies of their author.

Plenty of Trouble. But More Exaggerated
Reports.


LOUISVILLE, Feb. "a Courier-JOaty-
nal special from Birmingham, Ala, de
niles the reported killing OF five negre ~
OF Carbon Hill, Ala. II Is based on a
telegram from a telegraph operator, which
was not founded on facts. The whole
story originated In the killing of one
negro There Is no sign OF race war.
One Negro Killed.
MEMPHIS, Feb. "A Birmingham,
Ala, special says that telegraphic ad-
vices just received from Carbon Hill say
that VIII Murray, white miner, shot
and instantly killed James Cutlery, a
well-behAved negro, last night at Gallo
way. The negro lay where he fell until
this morning, when he was buried by the
mayor. Although not so stated, this ap-
pears to be continuation OF the troubles
OF Friday night. when the negroes we're
attacked In their cabin. IL Is this last
development which causes Gov. Jones to
send troops from this city.
Cause Of the Troubles.
MEMPHIS, Feb 2.-Robert Galloway,
one OF the owners OF the mines at Car
bon Hill, said TO an Associated Press ie-
porter In regard To the reported trou-
baes at the Hines: These outrages are
the work OF an element that knows no
law, that has terrorized that part OF
Walker county for the past three years,
and have no regard for human life.
The powers OF the county officials
seem limited. but the time has
come for the state OF Alabama To
crush out this class. That the house In
which the negroes were sleeping was
riddled with bullets is fact, and one OF
them wounded In the arm. None were
killed. Yesterday James Cutlery, a ne
gro, was killed aud one wounded. But
this Is not the first time In the last few
nights that such things have happened
in this county, and the guilty parties are
to be well known. This last
case OF lawlessnsss, while uujustifiable
In every way as could be, was brought
about by unfortunate clrcum-
stances. On Tuesday strange wi tie
man was killed near Eldridge, six miles
from Carbon Hill, by negro On
Wednesday, a negro. who was employed
TO hunt up some negroes who formerly
worked at the mines, picked up some
strange negroes and took them To Gal
oway. On the way over they got
drink or two. and the leader talked in
way to excite the crowd, who took the
-1w I'm their own hands, with the result
IS stated-the house was raided. They
evidently did not intend To kill any of
The other negroes, as there were thirty
Or forty others quartered within 800
Yards az this place who were not
,ouched."

OPoRTo, Feb Shorty after the be-

guards, led by two non-commissioned
officers. seized the Hotel de Vile ttown
hall In Dom Pedro square and proposed
To there and then declare republic.
However, "A strong body OF loyal troops,
composed OF artillery and fusileers,
promptly surrouaded and laid siege to- the
Hotel de VILE. When that building was
well surrounded the artillery opened fire
upon II ana soon caused the bricks to hy
about the heads of the insurgents who de-
Tended the building. The bombardment OF
the Hotel do Vile by the artillery was fol-
lowed by combined, well-led, cleverly-
directed infantry attack upon the In
surgents' fortress. The fusileers be-
haved grandly, keeping upa rattllng
fire and advancing at the same time.
The result was that after u feeble re-
sistance the insurgents surrendered un-
conditionally. TIE loss on both sides,

surgents will be tried by court martial
and In all probability the rlngleaders
will be shot

LISBON, Feb. 2.---The leaders OF all the

Oporto, which has been declared In Siege

ment, suspecting there was discomfort In
the Oporto garrison, had issued orders
for the transfer OF several officers thereto
from other regiments. This action, to-
gether with the recent treatment OF the
editor OF the Rep,tblica Portugese, expe-
dited the outbreak.

EDITOR OF CHRONICLE Seeing an ar
ticle in the CHRONICLE Of the 9Th in re-
lation to the man in charge of the fire
bell, and the incompetency of the engin-
eer, ask space for the following: As to
the first charge, should not have been
compelled to answer, as any taxpayer
or citizen of The Dalles, that has the in
terest of the city at heart, knows when
he sees or knows of a fire, that it is a
duty he owes 10 the city and himself to
GO, or send word, to the engine house,
as soon as possible and have the bell
rung and not wait for the city to burr,
as Property and ssTax-payer,
as he signs himself, would probably do.
Now as to my duties. When an alarm
of fire is called, 1 have four doors to
open, play off about thirty feet of rope
from the reel, disconnect my engine and
knock the block from the wheel. Now
would ask any sensible citizen which
would be proper for me, to go and ring
the bell and keep the engine in the
house, or have the engine leave the
house as soon as possible, and stop the
confiagration. AS to incompetency, it
seems strange that after two years and
four months service, this property holder
and taxpayer should find Inc not compe-
tent. The engine has never failed to
work at fire, l have never been caught
without steam, and have always rode
the engine out of the house. To show
this property holder and taxpayer that
the U. S. government inspectors think
me competent, / have placed my license
(that l have received every year from
the government for six years) in Mr.
Garretson's window SO that Mr.. Property
holder and Taxpayer can see it for him
self. Respectfully,

Engineer of Steamer.
