 bs Proceeded Againss'
 PARIS, Nov. 16. The Council of Minis. ters has decided, upon the responsibility of the Minister of Justice, NJ. Ricard, to proceed against the Panama Canal com pany. NJ. de Lesseps, three administrators, and all the contractors are to be made parties to the proceedings.
 Ministerial crisis is imminent, and great scandal will doubtless be the out come of this.
 The Ministry was divided !upon the question. There were frequent and vio- lent debates, the stormy scenes being caused by NJ. Ricard, NJ. Viette, Minister of Public Works. and M. Bourgeois Min ister of Public Instruction, who strongly urged the prosecution.
 The others were opposed to 1t for DO. litical reasons.
 At the Council held yesterday, M. Car not presiding, Minister of Justice Ricard said,
 "As the Chief Justice of France order the prosecution of the administrators ot the Panama canal"
 His colleagues could scarcely believe their ears.
 It was true, however, and they were obliged to bend.
 N Before anything can be done, the Depu ties believe that the Ministry will fall and fall to-day, perhaps upon the Pres bill, for not having taken theA responsible ity for that measure.

Now that the smoke of the great con- tlict has cleared away the full signiti- canoe of the most decisive revolution of popular sentiment known for genera tions can be seen by all, and it is hardly to be wondered at that even such hide bound republicans as Secretaries Foster and Rusk are joining the great ma jority in condemning the robber tariff, as the principal cause of their party s overwhelming defeat, and that MT Harrison pleads in extenuation of his having endorsed the force bill, the second issue in importance of the cam paign, that he was forced to do it by the republicans of the fifty cangress- perhaps he intends this as a dig at ex- Czar Reed, who forced the force bill through the house, supposedly hereto fore as special favor to Mir Harrison. But these gentlemen arrived at realiz- ing sense of these facts, so plain to the men who spoke in trumpet tones by the election of Cleveland and Stevenson and democratic senate and house, too late to do them or their we'll thrashed party any good.

College Men in Rusinesa.

'This is suggestive of what college bred men are going to turn to In the future" is a remark Prof. Bell made at the celebration of the opening of the long distance telephone to Chicago g few days ago. There was a large com pany o& famous electricians and bril- liant financiers in that room, and every one of them was 8 college bred man. Pickernell, the engineer who had that long-distance plant in his head before a pole was laid, is a young graduate of the Massachusetts Institute of Tech nology. Hall, the general manager, who is coming to be regarded as one ot the geniuses of business organization, is Yale man of comparatively recent graduation. Hudson, the president, who looks like James Russell Lowell, Is a Harvard man, and there were practical men with degrees from Columbia, Princeton, Pennsylvania university and other colleges in such numbers as to suggest that no longer does the law or the pulpit or medicine exclusively at tract college men.

NEW YORK, Nov. 16. President Comp CTS, of the American Federation of Labor, has issued circular in which he appeals for financial aid for the Homestead strikers. Mir. Gompers says it has been decided by the association, the represent atives of the men, and the executive council of the American Federation of Labor to designate Tuesday, Dec 13, as Homestead Day, and he calls upon the wage workers, as we'll as all liberty-lov ing citizens, to make contribution of 8 portion of their earnings of that day to aid the Homesteaders in their contest to defend themselves before the courts.

 CHICAGO, Nov. 16. - Lawyer A. 8, Trude of this city, who defended Cream successfully when he was on trial here in 1881 for the murder of Mary Faulkner, is we'll acquainted with his peculiarities In an interview MT. Trude said.
 "The man was possessed of two manias One was to acquire all the kn owledge he could of anatomy and surgery. To that end he studied medicine and obtained di- plomas as doctor in Germany, France, England, Canada and America His quently great, and he used it, through me, most effectually to confound the doctors at the trial. His other mania was 8 desire to get rid of women who were in & condition in which they were menace to society. It was the same. mania of which Jack the Ripper whoever he may be, was possessed.
 "After the trial was over, Cream came into my office several times and talked necessarily about these two things, human anatomy and his desire to rid the earth of these unfortunate beings Once he pulled a revolver from his pocket, and, after firing it at a chair, said: I would kill them that way
 "Cream was most charming talker and if let loose on his pet theories regard ing the human structure, would hold his listeners by the hour. That he was mad l have not the least doubt, but his mania was one which it is difficult to classify

COL. CHINN SHOT.

 St. Louis.

 The Famous Starter Fatally Wounded at
 St. Louis.
 ST. LOUIS, Nov. 16.-Col. John Chinn, starter at the East St. Louis Jockey Club track, was shot and fatally wounded yes terday by Captain D. Anthony. Some time ago Ed Corrigan of the Hawthorne track, Chicago, asked the officials of the East St. Louis track to allow MT. Chinn to officiate for them for a time. The Hast St. Louis people consented to the arrangement and installed Kit, son of the famous starter, at the post.
 Young Chinn's starting has been un- satisfactory of late and the East St. Loui s managers demanded that the elder Chinn return here He came back Monday and took his place. However, his work was not of kind to grow enthusiastic over. Three horses were left at the post in as many different races and the starts in all were anything but good. Lillian, who was left at the post in the fourth race was quite heavily played and muttered oaths were plenty.
 Yesterday Chinn was presented with his discharge. He refused to accept the paper, at the same time catching hold of Secretary Alexander's coat collar with one hand, and reaching down into his boot with the other and drawing large dirk knife. @sSN
 Two police officers caught him and tried to disarm him.
 Capt. Anthony came upon the scene at this moment, and, seeing that he was about to get the best of the officers, he drew his revolver and fired full in his face. The bullet struck him in the mouth and ranged upward, coming out back of the ear.
 Col. Chinn was known all over the country in turf circles, and has handled the flag at all the great tracks.

THE WATER SUPPLY,

Rudolph Herring, an eminent hy- draullc engineer, was engaged to settle a question which has been before the people for several ..years: Where shall Waterbury go for new water supply. Three times had the board of water commissioners reported in favor of Hop brook, to 'be supplemented by Quassa- paug lake, should the needs of the future require it. The members of the court of common council and others who had visited the place proposed by the commissioners for a reservoir, did not look with favor upon the plan, owing to the insufficient quantity and and poor quality of the water; and, finally, when the matter of issuing bonds was submitted to the people they voted no, by large majority.
 A petition signed by several hundred citizens, calling for an outside engineer to settle the vexed question:, was finally acted favorably upon by the court of common council, and Rudolph Herring was the choice. His terms were high, but so is his reputation, and no one found fault with the expenditure. He recommended taking the water from the east because the Mad river offers more water, of better quality and at less cost per million gallons than any of the other places. mentioned. He said that if the city increased in population during the next few years as it has in AL. l,n How hrnnly SIYTVNlxv wifi the present gravity works would be inadequate in 1897, should that year prove dry. With Quassapaug added the entire expensive system would sup ply the city only until the population reached 50, ,000, probably in 1904.
 And after that, what? Engineer Herring does not say, but F. J. Kings bury, in reply to Judge Webster's ques- tion, suggested that Bantam lake would be next in order after Quassapaug. In other words, those who favor going west for water advocate plan that will cost more than a million dollars.
 We do not believe that taking the water from the upper Mad river will in any way injure the factories along the line of the stream. The location pro- posed by Mir Herring for city reservoir is high up on the river. MT Kingsbury himself is on record as saying that not more than half the supply would be di- verted by the engineers plan. But he did not think sufficient storage room could be found on the flats to hold back
 the water required by the mills. With all due respect to MT Kingsbury we be, lieve he is mistaken. The valley of the | Mad river offers exceptionally fine opportunities for storage and there is all abundance of water for all.
 The DEMOCRAT is not ignorant of the
 fact that the great factories are the life
 of Waterbury, and it would not favor 6
 policy that might cripple any industry
 but when an engineer of MT Hering's
 recognized ability gives an opinion il
 should have great weight.

RELIC HUNTERS IN NEW YORK.

Women Crave For Little Mementoes of
 the Obelisk aud Grants Vault
 Relic-hunting, passion with Amer jeans, unfortunately often degenerates into vandalism, and to gratify their appetite relic-hunters, with the pro pensities of vandals, will not stop short of bribing officials in whose care are placed mementoes of the past
 As an Illustration of this Central park policeman tells that when the obelislz was receiving its coat of paratfine richly attired lady drove up and offered him S2O if he would knock off clip from the monument for her. The officer refused, but the lady per- sisted in coming for several days and in repeating her request Finally the officer gave her piece of sandstone and she went away treasuring what she supposed was piece of the obelisk.
 Gen. Grants tomb has now become the Mecca of relic-hunters, so far as New York Is concerned. They come from all over America and do not want to go away without a remembrance. For want of something better blades of grass, pebbles and grains of sand are carried away in the visitors satchel or pocketbook.
 Formerly D $5 note was frequently offered to the guards and policemen for a brick from the tomb. It was in vain, of course. Fakirs, however, soon saw their opportunity, and bricks got from neighboring buildings in process of erection were sold for ''bricks from Grants tomb" at S2 apiece. Bags of sand taken from neighboring hill, but purporting to come from the tomb, were also sold by falirs at 10 and 20 cents 8 bag.
 When the soldiers from Fort Hamil- ton guarded the tomb they used to amuse themselves by tearing up the na- tional flag into strips, when it grew old. and distribute them as pieces of old

A Married Woman's Yearly Season of

 'I don't know what 1 would do," said very gay married woman to n Phila- delphia Times writer, if it were not for my annual divorce," she laughed "You perhaps wonder what that is, but 1t Is really the greatest of social insti. tutions, and l would die without it. l mean the six or eight weeks ovcry sum. mer that can go away and be just like young girl once more.
 ''i love Jack very dearly, but I would got very tired of him if it were not for this yearly respite.

Clover afterward suffered. Taken in e cab to a hospital she died on the way. An inquest was held-poisoning by strychnine was diagnosed.
 On April of this year, at No. 11S Stam- ford street, two women were seized with the agony of death. Alice Marshal died on the way to an hospital. Enough strychnine to poison three or four women was found in her stomach. Her compan- ion, Emma Shrivell, fingered a little while in the hospital, but also died un- mistakably from stry chnine.
 The death of these women, of course, set the police in motion, and the crimes were traced to Cream.
