MRS. DEACoN's STORY.
She Says She Was Merely Conversfng
Quietly with Abeille.

"a LONDON, Feb. 23.-Mrs. Deacon has
made long statement to a Paris cores
pondent. She declares there was nothing
to justify her husband in shooting M.
Abeille.
She states that when her husband came
TO the door she was quietly conversing
with Abeille, who was in evening dress,
except that he wore smoking jacket.
Abeille could easily have escaped IL
there had been anything 20 be ashamed
OF. He was not hiding from Mr.. Deacon.
He merely sought shelter behind a sofa to
avoid Mr.. Deacon's revolver.
She did not open the door quickly when
summoned to do SO because she was
obliged to go first to her bedroom to light
a candle. ''*s
Mrs. Deacon asserts that she was ac-
customed to adltreatment from her hus-
band and intended to consult a lawyer
with regard to obtaining divorce.

Read i'm Every Church.

PARIS, Feb. 23.-The Pope's encyclical
on the French Republic was read Sunday
in every church in France. This was done
by order OF Pope Leo, who directed that
not even the smallest hamlet church
should omit doing so. This coinciding
with the annual mass which the Church
celebrates for France and which hitherto
has served as an occasion for a monarch
ical demonstration, produced profound
impression on Catholic opinion.

A Thrilling Rescue.

DUBLIN, Feb. 1.-A thrilling rescue OF
q part OF the crew of the barkentine Pat
riot was witnessed during the storm
which ragged along the Irish coast. The
crew OF the barkentine was seen to be in
great peril and a life crew went to the
rescue. Rockets were thrown to the
wreck and line was at last attached, but
not before three Of the crew had perished
In their efforts to cling TO their vessel.
The two survivors were safely passed to
shore by means of life-saving apparatus.
They were hardly more than alive, and it
took some time to resuscitate them. They
had been laboring for many hours to
avoid being driven on the coast, and when
the barkentine was wrecked they were
already disabled by their prolonged SER
vice, and were unable to do much to save
their own lives.
Disgraceful Riots and Frauds.
BuENos AYERS, Argentine, Feb. o.
The entire country continues in condi-
tion of great agitation over the approach
ing Presidential elections. The riots and
frauds which dsgraced the recent Con-
gressional Sunday elections stirred up
public indignation, which has increased
as the investigation into the charges
against the officials has proceeded.
At San Luis, the capital of the province
of the same name, some four hundred and
twenty-five miles northwest OF Buenos
Ayres, the disturbances were most seri-
Gus. In conflict between the police aud
members OF the radical party the former
discharged their firearms at the crowd.
After the firing had ceased il was found
that twenty-four civilians had been
wounded and two killed. A large num-
ber OF persons were arrested and thrown
into jail.

A male servant holding a responsible

on Saturday by swallowing dose of
spirits of ammonia.
HtThe victim fingered in agony for some
hours. during which DIR. Reid, Her Maj

supposed that some recent occurrences,
entailing reprimands, had preyed upon
the mans mind and driven him to despair.

Moss Covered Trees.

From the st. Louis Globe Democrat
Few things possess greater interest to north
ern people making their first pilgrimage through
the south than the moss-covered trees OF the
lowlands near the gulf coast" said II. C. Henry
at the Laclede. SIN the moist, warm air Of the
coast country the moss takes possession of the
trees, and from every branch trails down the
line mighty banner of green silk, giving to
the forests picturesque beauty. but one sug-
gestive Of cemeteries and elegies. In the
winter, when the green Of the moss has faded
into s/dirty gray, and been torn and whipped
by the winds until 1t resembles the ragged locks
OF some ancient Sycorax, the effect is particu-
larry uncanny. Add leaden sky, drizzlinp
rain and here and there pool Of black water
hah-hidden by impenetrable csnebrakes, and
you get a scene Of dreary desolation that would
have made even the witches Of Macbeth want
wings with which to get out Of the coun-
try. There is today enough moss clinging to
the trees on the gulf coast 70 furnish every man.

THE BATTLE OF NASHVILLE.
The wagons and baggage were left in camp
and each man was ordered to remain at his
post dense fog hung over everything and
progress was slow and the crack Of rides ahead
and the occasional boom Of a cannon told that
the skirmishers were feeling the way. About
noon the sun came out suddenly and the fog
disappeared and the sight was one never to be
forgotten. We were at the entrance Of cane
brake and could see nothing ahead, but behind,
moving at regimental 'front.' were lines of in
fantry with officers mounted and in place, staff
officers galloping about with orders and far in
the rear on q hill overlooking all was Thomas
headquarters with signal flags waving. Our
progress was very slow for some time, and after
going mile or more we halted and were pretty
well to the front and our infantry was moved
ahead Of us and filed the road for some dis
lance. Flat on the ground in the slush and
snow were the skirmishers, and tho crack Of
their rifles was being vigorously answered.
Not far OF was Q wounded man lying on .
blanket while a surgeon examined his hurt. A
crowd had gathered around him and had Just
reached the edge Of il and was trying to peep
over mans shoulders when 'whiz" came
bullet and struck his arm, and for the only time
heard ball strike man. The firing grad
ually grew heavier and more batteries Joined in.
Suddenly the infantry ahead Of NJ fell rapidly
to the right and left and made way for an oiaccr
coming at full speed. Refining his horse he
saluted the captain and said: "3en. 0arrard's
compliments and he SAYS move your battery 70
the hill ON the left" In an instant the bugls
called: "Csnnonesrs mount, forward, gallop.
march," We sprung to our places on ths guns
or caissons and In moment were going Of FUN
speed through the long line Of infautry, who
swung their hats and cheered. We were Wild
with excitement and I think every man vas
yelling at the top Of his voice.
