Fastening the hook in the cornice OF the
roof on one side OF the car he let himself
down OF the other and resting his toes on
the ledge that runs along the car, he
looked in the glass OF the side door and
saw the messenger in front OF an open
safe, making up his bills.
Cross smashed the glass, covered the
messenger with his revolver and shouted
10 him TO hold up his hands. McInery
however, reached for the signal cord with
one hand and for his revolver with the
other.
A bullet smashed the hand on the cord,
but il had given the signal that aroused
the conductor. Then McInerny fired and
put bullet through the robbers coat.
Thereupon the robber shot the messenger
twice, once in the right leg and once in
the left temple.
Cross climbed into the car and desper-
ate struggle took place, which did not
end until the train was stopped, for the

The robber climbed out on top of the
car and remained there until the train
reached Lyons. So far az can be learned
the robber secured absolutely nothing.

THE NEWS OF PARIS.
Murderer Deacon viii Face His Wife
Tomorrow.
WHY THE MINISTRY FELL
Was There n Secret Treaty Between the
Cabinet aud the Vatican ?-Ribot and
Freycinet to Enter the New Cabinet
Minister Reid Coming Home.

PARIs, Feb. 22.-The judicial interroga-
and killed NJ. Abeille, at Cannes, opens at
Grasse today.
On Tuesday Deacon will be confronted
by his wife, in accordance with the
French custom. Mrs. Deacon started
from Cannes for Paris under a pledge to
return when wanted.
The Guatemala legation here has receiv-
a cable despatch saying that the revolt
led by Enriquez has been suppressed and
that Enriquez himself is dead.
President Carnot held consultations
today with NJ. M. Constans, Bourgeoise,
Say, Meline and others in regard to the
formation OF cabinet. The opinion
grows that the best way out of the diff
Guilty will be found in the dissolution OF
the Chamber.
The Journal des Debats holds that the
solid majority necessary TO support the
new cabinet can only be found among
men who are determined opponents, both
of the association bill and OF the separa
ton of church and state. The Temps says
that dissolution of the Chamber will be
useful when it promises TO obtain from
universal suffrage majority that cannot
be found in the Chamber. The Matin,
Evement, Steele, Republique Francaise
and other papers, advocate the formation
OF a ministry under NJ. Constans.
In Parliamentary circles the real cause
OF the fall OF the present ministry Is said
to have been the conviction prevalent
among the Radicals that the support
given the government by the Pope is due
To a secret treaty between the Cabinet
and the Vatican. La Lanterne announces
that Immediately after the new Cabinet is
formed NJ. Hubbard will interpellate the
ministers regarding the decision of the
recent will case by which the Pope Sc
cured a French inheritance OF 10000 900
francs.
The Novcsti, Novoe, vremya and other
Russian journals concur in hoping that
M. Ribot and NJ. De Freycinet will have
seats in the new cabinet. They also agree
in the opinion that President Carnot
ought TO dissolve the chamber and obtain
more solid majority.
A despatch from Bizerta, Tunis, says
that the harbor works there are almost
completed and that work proceeds day
and night.
u. s. Minister Reid and family expect
to sail on the steamship La Bourgogne on
Saturday next. Mr.. Reid does not wish
TO leave his work uncompleted, but il is
held here that M. Ribot is no longer in a
position to sign treaties.
Mr.. Reid has not yet resigned the post
of United States minister. 1t was his
desire at first to resign early enough to
enable him -to-p present his successor to
the French officials, but at the request of
the State department at Washington he
will not resign until after his arrival in
America and probably not until the ex-
tradition treaty has been voted upon by
the United States Senate, as the State
department might wish him TO explain
officially some portion OF the document.

Negroes Loose Their All Under Promise
From "A shark.

NEW YORK, Feb. 22.--About 200 colored
men arrived here with their families from
the Indian Territory on their way to Lii
IBERIA, Africa. They were dressed in all
sorts OF fashions.
The police took them TO a mission to
give them shelter from the rain and some-
thing to eat. George Washington, ven-
erable negro, when questioned, said they
came from Red Land in the Cherokee
nation, 16 miles from Fort Smith, Arkan-
sas. Most of them owned property and
raised cotton, but last summer the crop
was failure and they became dissatisfied.
The trip 20 Liberia had been discussed
and Rev. Mr.. Hill, their pastor, consent
ed TO go as their leader. Mr. Hill told
them IL would cost $500 TO get to this
city, and the steamship company would
give them free passage to Africa.
Many OF them sold their homes for al
most nothing TO raise money which was
given TO MIR. Hill.
Rev. Mr.. Hill tells n sad story OF his
time ago he received n circular from
man named Coppinger of Washington,
manager OF the American Colonization
Society. The circular stated that negroes
could get TO Africa free of charge after
taking the oath of allegiance to the
African government administered here at
the custom house.
This they found was untrue. The
pastor and his people are now all without
means and bereft OF home and farms.
