FRANCES SHAME.
The Panama Scandal Causes Another
Cabinet Crisis.
THIS TIME ROUVIER HANDS In
HIS RESIGNATION.

He Was Accused of Completely by Glenn
enceau and Subjected to Fierce At
tack in the Chamber-Tirard Recalled
from Brussels to Take His Portfolio
Some More Particulars of the Last
Hours of Baron Reinacll.
PARIS, December 13.-President Car
not has accepted the resignation Of M.
Rouvier, as minister of finance, and NJ.
Tirard, ex-minister of finance, and at
present representing France at the Brus-
sells monetary conference, has been ap-
pointed to succeed him. M. Rouvier re-
signed because of a letter by NJ Clemen-
ceau. printed in the Figaro, connecting
NJ. Rouvier with the Panama scandal.
There was an exciting scene today
when M. Rouvier was called upon to
give an explanation to the deputies of
his connection with the Panama frauds.
M. Rouvier confirmed the statement
made by M. Clemenceau, editor of the
Justice, to the effect that he had visited
M. Clemeneeau on the night of Baron de
Reinach's death, but that Clemenceau
was not in and did not see him. M.
Rouvier added that he had nothing to re-
proach himself with, and his conscience
was easy.
NJ. Deroulede attacked M. Rouvier in a
violent address, which was repeatedly
| interrupted by cries of approval and dep
recation. He declared that M. Rouvier
ought to appear before high court to
answer the charges against him affecting
his conduct as member of the Cabinet.
M. Rouvier replied with self-possess-
ion: II am ready can repeat only
what | have already said.'' Although
Rouvier managed to control his temper,
he showed signs of great agitation. His
lips quivered as he spoke, and perspira-
tion gathered on his brows. During the
incident crowd thronged the lobbies,
expecting at any moment to hear the
ministry had resigned.
The Gaulois this morning gives details
of Reinach's last hours. 1t appears that
Reinach. after the final interview with
Rouvier and Herr, finding all hope gone
of any escape from exposure and prob
ably severe and disgraceful legal penalty
for his share in the Panama frauds, went
home at midnight and wrote several let
ters. After writing these letters the
Baron destroyed a number of documents.
Then he swallowed poison which he had
prepared and lay down to die about one
o'clock in the morning.
Minister Rouvier has been summoned
to give evidence before the Panama In
vestigation Commission of the Chamber
of Deputies. Herr has also been sum-
moned, but it is doubtful as to whether
he will appear.

MRS SJEwETT is 7s,
But she Gave the Alarm and Helped Fight
an Incendiary Fire.

BATH, Me-, December 13.-The inhab-
itants of Westport are in an excited
state of mind over the fire which occur
red at Jewett's Cove last night, and but
for the prompt action of Mrs. Elvina
Jewett, an old lady aged rs years, and a
big Newfoundland dog named Major, the
damage would Lave been considerably
more than it was.
About II. 80 Mrs. Jewett was awaken
ed by the dog barking under her win
dow. She supposed that burglars were
around trying to enter her cellar to steal
apples. She arose and went to the win
dow and discovered that the elevator of
the ice house was on fire. She just put
on her dress and started for her som S
house, a short distance away to give the
alarm.
Chas. Brooks, one of the neighbors,
arrived before she returned. When help
arrived an active fight was commenced
to save the ice house. The store and
building containing Ice tools of the Jew
ett Cove Ice Co., also the engine house Of
the ice house were destroyed. Forum
ately water was near at hand and the
men folks assisted by he women, sue
ceeded in extinguished the flames in the
elevator before the fire reached the ice
house. q
The fire was incendiary and the parties
who did it evidently intended to make a
clean sweep. They entered the store
and rolled out barrel of kerosene and
tapped it. The boards on the side of
the ice. house were ripped off and the
sawdust allowed to fall. down, then ker-
osene was thrown in, but before they set
fire they must have been frightened
away by the dog. a large pool of kero-
sene was found on the ledge near the
store.

BosToN, Mass, December 13,-Eight
Massachusetts cities besides Boston, had
their municipal elections today. They
were Cambridge, Everett, Lowell, Lynn,
Medford, Newburyport, Salem and Wor-
cester. OF these, Everett and Medford
chose a city government for the first
time. In Boston, the leading question of
interest has been the vote on license.
The advocates of no license have waged
a more vigorous campaign than usual,
and it has been loudly claimed that
thousands of Democrats would vote for
no license on account of the allegations
of pernicious activity of Police Com
missioner William M. Osborn in favor of
the Republican candidate for governor
at the state election. The reelection of
Mayor Nathan Matthews, Jr., Dem.) by
large majority has been conceded from
the start, even by his opponent, Hon.
Homer Rogers, the Republican and Citi-
zens' candidate. Mattnews's majority
was 13, 121. The license majority was
1855. The board of aldermen stands
seven Democrats to five Republicans, and
the common council 43 Democrats to 80
Republicans. The school committee is
soiidly Republican, from 5000 to 5000
majority.

quarters TO cross the Potomac, penetrate the
Union lines and obtain medicine for her
wounded brother. Her cousin Evan Fauntleroy,
one Of Stuart's troopers, accompanies her to-
wards the Potomac.
3. A young South Carolina officer of Hamp-

for several miles and as he leaves them warns
them that the Union cavalry may be on the
South side of the Potomac.
4. The warning proves true, and Miss Clay
and Fauntleroy are h0tly pursued by Federal

5. Both adventurers are captured, after Miss
Clay has shot at IL Federal horseman. Miss
Clay demands of the Federal Major that she be
released as a non-conlbatant.
6. The Federal Commander Custer suspects

identify them.
7. The guide turns out to be Peyton Fitz-

cast off because he deserted the COnfederacy.
