The Performance of ]" Lohengrin" at Paris
Accompanied by Exciting Scenes.
The house was crowded, there being
no special difficulty in obtaining admis-
sion. The overture was listened to In
profound silence, the audience breaking
into rapturous applause at the conclu-
sion
The opera was admirably mounted
and finely rendered Van Dyck and
other artists were recalled several times
and applauded to the echo. There was
noisy demonstration outside the opera
house during the performance.
A band OF students sang the "Marseil-
laise, the crowd responding with cries
of aViye la France" "a has Wagner. "
Portions of the mob continually made
rushes against the police Gordon. and
the police, whenever these incursions
became formidable, assumed the otiens-
i've and charged the mob, which would
take flight In hot haste.
In some cases the zeal of the police
seemed to outrun their discretion. In
several instances respectable onlookers
were roughly handled and arrested on
the slightest provocation, and then
cuffed IL they ventured to make the
midest protest.
At 10 o'clock force of cavalry and
mounted police patroled the scene of the
disturbance and a most determined effort
to clear the streets was make meeting
with considerable success. The crowd
was apparently mainly composed of peo-
pie curious 10 witness any demonstration
that might be made.
The performance was concluded with
out trouble, and the work was pro-
nounced a great artistic success. Many
of the audience went out on the steps
between the acts to witness the scene
outside and were received. with rounds
of Kisses. At the conclusion of the per-
formances 700 policemen were still occu.
pied in clearing the streets.
Altogether about 1000 persons were
arrested.
The German Embassy was strongly
guarded throughout the night A party
of 200 roughs smashed the windows of

Artesian We'll Meeting.

A MASS meeting of the citizens of
Pierre and Fort Pierre was held at Fort
Pierre for the purpose of considering
ways and means to secure the sinking
of artesian wells upon the coded lands
in the western half of the state. There
was good turnout and the meeting was
an enthusiastic one. Speeches were
made by number of prominent citi-
zens. 1t seemed to be the general opin-
ion that the government should in some
manner be secured to sink number of
wells at different points over the coded
lands, or at least sink an experimental
we'll which would be the means of test
ing the feasibility of the plan, and at the
same time locate the extent of the arte-
sian basin In South Dakota.

DEvOURING FLAMES.
Several Chicago Printers and Stereotypers
Are Badly Scorched.


Shortly after o'clock in the morning
fire, which had evidently been smolder-
ing for some time, burst out Of each of
the six floors Of the building at No. IT'S
Monroe street, Chicago, and the half
dozen firms doing business were cleaned
out. The ground floor was occupied by
.Wyckoff, Seamans & Benedict, type
writing machines; the second by the
Jameson & Morse Company, printers;
the third by the w. j. jefferson. Print
ing Company; and the upper floors by
Blomgren Bros. & Co., electrotypers and
stereotypers.
All of these firms suffer absolute loss
on stock, though most Of them are fully
insured.
The building, comparatively q new
one, was owned by the Packing House
Insurance Company, and sustained an
insured loss of about $4,000. The
damage to the stocks of the tenants is
variously estimated at from gao. 900 to
$50, 900, SO that at the most the loss In
the aggregate will not exceed $50, 900

A Queer Accident which Ended in the
Death of John Yeager.
SPRINGFIELD, O., Dec. 25.--Webb s.
Co., of this city, undertakers, have just
moved into a new Office iu building
which is just being completed.
There is 3 sky-light in the building
and directly beneath the sky-light was
q pile of collins. A day or So ago the
clerk was attracted by terrific clash
from the direction of the skylight- He
rushed to see what was the matter.
When he reached the pile of collins he
saw a man lying in a coffin. His hands
and face were bleeding, and he was evil
IDENTIFY badly hurt. The sight of the
bloody man in the coffin dazed the clerk
for, a minute. Then he took in the stu
alton.
The man was one of the work men and
he had tumbled directly through the
skylight into a coffin, his weight smash
ing the glass lid. The man proved to
be John Yeager, who stated that his fall
had been caused by trying a new fire
escape.
He thought he was only slightly in
jured and walked home without aid.
His injuries provee fatal, however, as
he has just died in great agony.

WANT HIM RECALLED.

Gre at Britain's Minister to Greece dis
liked BY Russia.
ATHENS Dec 26- strong pressure
is being brought to bear upon N. Deli
georgis, Minister of Foreign Affairs, to
induce him to demand that Lord Sails
bury shall cause to be read in the
British ParM ament the letter of apology
written by Sir E. j. Monson, British
Minister to Greece, for inaccurate state
ments which Minister Monson had made
relative to the treatment of Bri tish
creditors by the Syria Hellenic Com
pany.
There is q powerful movement on foot
to compel the recall of Minister Munson
by the British Government.
This movement has for its ostensible
ground the charge of misreprese ntation
In the Syra-Hellenic and other matters;
but the real ground is that Sir Edmund
has made himself obnoxious to the
philo- Russian party by his vigilance in
watching and reporting its efforts to
control the policy of Greece in direc-
ton favorable to Russia.
Sir Edmund is distinguished diplo-
mat, brother of Viscount Oxenbridge,
and high in favor with the Salisbury
government.
His former services have been chiefly
in South Arnerica, WHARF he has irepre-
sented Great Britain AT Buenos Ayres,
Montevideo and in Paraguay. He was
appointed to Greece in 1888, where, for
the first time in his career, he appears
to have given offense.
The feeling against him is so strong
that, but for fear of deeply offending
Great Britain, he would probably be

MURDERED HIS WIFE.

The Terrible Crime the Result of .
Family Quarrel.
LOWELL, Mass, Dec. 20. Mrs. Alma
R. Moulton, 90 years old, was murdered
in a most cowardly and brutal manner
about midnight by her husba nd, Frank
L. Moulton, q dissipated barber, who
beat her brains out. with a hat-iron.
Moulton, who is about Sc years old,
was engaged at his place of employment
until nearly II p. m. He then left for
his home, to which he was accompanied
by his employer, who says Moulton did
not touch liquor of any kind on the
way. Moulton and his wife have had
frequent quarrels, chiefly because of the
obstinate disposition of each. They
quarrelled over some trivial matter,
during which Mrs. Moulton slapped his
face and in return was choked by her
husband. Moulton, in speaking OF the
quarrel, says it was a matter of who
should rule their home, of which both
had different opinions.
The woman would not give in, neither
would he.
Finally he became enraged and, seiz-
ing fiat-iron, asked her if she would
give in. Upon his wife replying in the
negative, he says: 81 let her have the
fat-1ron as hard as I could hit"
The first blow felled her, and then he
struck her again and again while she
lay PROSTATE on the floor of the room.
Life was extinct when neighbors, at
tracted by the struggle, entered the
Moulton apartments The woman's
head was pounded out of shape, one ear
was severed and the skull fractured.
Moulton, after his crime, left the
house and repaired to arroom, where
he was found in beast ly state of in
toXication.
