A TREE FALLS
And Seriously Injuries two Bright Lit
tie Bows.

Anu 0oIAOusly AuJuIeS tWO DTlSnt LII
tie Boys.
John Briggs, aged 10 years, son
Of Mr.. F. H. Briggs, and Carl Stone,
aged II years, son of the late Mr..
j. L. Stone, are pupils of Miss
Welch, who has school at the re-
sidence of Mr.. Briggs at Oakdale.
In rear of the house, on one of the
lots recently sold and bought by
Mr.. Pace, stands several large
hickory trees. AT recess yesterday
at 10 O'Clock John Briggs and Carl
Stone were playing in this
lot. The wind was high
and without the least warming
down came one of the largest
of the trees. The limbs struck the
boys with great force and their in
juries are severe; in the case of
young Briggs serious. Luckily both
boys were playing near pile of
sills on which some of the limbs
rested, thus breaking the violence
of the fall of the tree, for it was its
top branches which struck the boys.
Mrs. Briggs and Miss Welch took
the injured lads into the house and
surgical aid was at once summoned.
1t was found that John had
a large confusion on the temple and
forehead, and several wounds of the
scalp, and that one eye was entirely
closed. His lips were also cut. He
was unconscious and an examina-
tion as to injuries of the body was
deferred. Carl had a bad cut on
the face, near the nose, one eye was
bruised and he had scalp wound.
His injuries are evidently not
nearly SO serious as those of John
Briggs. He also was unconscious.
At 5 o'clock yesterday afternoon
both boys were still unconscious.
The deplorable accident was the
subject Of a grea. deal of talk, and
some very exaggerated rumors were
current; one being that two boys
were killed and several other chill
; dren injured. The facts of the case
are just as above given. 1t was
found that the tree which fell was
decayed near the root. 1t was 9
very tall tree, and had not the rush
of the top been checked by the pile
: of sills the boys would have beer
l crushed to death In an instant.

THE LONDON DISPATCH.

LONDON, Nov. %. News has
been received from Brazil to the
effect that Rio de Janeiro is in a
state of open revolt against the die
tator, Marshal da Fonseca, and
that the people of that city are
clamoring for his overthrow.
Another and later dispatch from
Rio says that Fonseca has resigned
in favor Of Floriano Peixotto.
SEA CAPTAINS STORY.
New YORK, Nov. %. The
steamship "Horrox," Capt. Hen
ming, arrived from Rio to-day after
a voyage Of twenty-three days.
Capt. Henning says that when he
left Rio matters were quiet on the
surf; ce, but there was an under
current of dissatisfaction with
Fonseca, which indicated his early
deposition, and was not surprised
that the dictator had been forced to
retire. Decisive action would have
been taken sooner but for reports
that Fonseca was fatally ill and
likely to die at any moment. He also
said he did not think Peixotto could
long hold the reins of Brazilian
government. The people do not
seem to know exactly what they dc
want and it would be an utter i'm.
possibility to accurately predict
what will probably take place from
day to day. He thought an effort
might be made to restore the mon
archy and place Dom Pedro's daugh
ter in her fathers place. Public op
position to the husband, however,
thought would render futile any at
tempt in this direction.

this afternoon and las.ed about ten
minutes. 1t was accompanied by a
driving rain with vivid flashing of

of the storm visited the corner of F ,,
and 18th street and wrecked the en-
tire corner. A building in course
Of erection which had attained
height of four stories was
blown in on the back
Of several adjoining buildings.
A number of people were employed
in these buildings and upon the
building in course of construction a
number of bricklayers were at work.
The workmen had a narrow escape
, from death, but in an extension of
one of the buildings crushed Mr..
White, a tailor, wasinstantly killed,
being crusht i and mangled almost
beyond recognition. Several other
employees in his establishment were
; seriously injured. At the White
5 House about two tons of stone cop
ing on the top Of the mansion was
down on the porch on the east
side of the building, crushing
it. A window in the East
room was also blown in. The
| flag staff on top Of the White House
# was snapped off as if it was glass.
;. One of the large iron posts of the
e gas reservoir near Georgetown was

It the gas in the reservoir, and half a
