PARIS, May 26.-The strike Of the

causing much excitement. Enormous
crowds Of people surround the dcpots
nj the company, around which there Is
a strong guard Of police and troops.
The company. assisted by the police,
today attempted 10 run several stages.
The strikers flrtt stoned them, then
made q charge, driving away the
police. The drivers were dragged from
the seats and pounded vigorously,
while their stages were overturned.
The efforts Of the police were useless
In the face Of the overwhelming mob.
At one time II was thought the troops
would be called upon, but II II expect
cd they will not bo ordered out, unless
the situation becomes very serious.
The police was later reinforced and
made several arrests.
The public sympathy Is with the
strikers, who nro out for shorter hour-
and the reinstatement Of some Of thelT
companions who were discharged be-
cause they belonged 10 the union.
Many newspapers Of tho city have
opened subscriptions In behalf Of the
strikers and their families, In order Il
enable them to successfully push tn,

A CLOSE CALL FOR GOULD.


ThaRailway AfaEnate barely Saved From
Death Under . Locomotive.
New YORK, June 26. jay Gould had
very narrow escape from being ground
to pieces by Hudson River railroad
train few days ago, at Irvington, on
the Hudson. The other morning as he
and few others stepped across the
tracks at the station, to take the SIG
train to the city, a west-bound express
hove In sight, coming at high rate of
speed. Its track was the one between
the station and the local train, and
standing on it all oblivious to danger
were Mr.. Could and his fellow travel
ers. A station hand saw the express
and gave sharp yell of danger, at
which all save Mr.. Gould turned quickly
and leaped back to the station platform.
Mr. Gould's thoughts were apparently
miles away, for his head was bent and
he was perfectly needless OF his peril.
Baggage Master Barnard jumped to the
track and grabbing the railroad Ma
poleon by the collar, jerked him back
upon the platform, and before the abb
sent-minded capitalist knew what it
was all about, the express had thun-
dered by.

bill 30 ascertain the possibility of pro-
ducipg rain in the arid regions. Pro-
fesaor Dyrhenfurth, as special agent Of
the agricultural department, exploded
st = high altitude several balloons in
fated with hydrogen gas. The concus-
sion1 were Of great force. The FIRST
balloons were held by wires and when
they reached sufficient height bat
tery was applied which fired fuses in
the heck of the balloon and exploded
the Gas. 1t is the FIRST time that hydro
gen gas has ever been manufactured in
any quantity. The object of the ex-
peri1nents was to determine the availa-
bility Of the apparatus, both for manu-
facturing the gas and exploding il. The
machinery is still crude and imperfect,
but It's success is assured. Whether the
purpose for which it was deslgned-th that
OF causing rain-has been accom-.
