onceap't Attack.
PARIS, Dec. 13.-In consequence of NJ.
Clemenceau's letter published in the
Figaro connecting NJ. Rouvier, the
finance minister, with the Panama
scandal, the latter called upon Presi-
dent Garnet at the palace of the Elyseo
to-day and handed in his resignation OF
the finance portfolio.
In tho chamber Of deputies NJ.
Rouvier confirmed the statement made
by NJ. Clemenceau that he and Baron
De Reinach visited NJ. Clemenceau on
the evening OF the baron's death. In
his statement NJ. Clemenceau said NJ.
Rouvier had explained TO him in tho
lobby of the chamber OF deputies that
Baron De Reinach was being driven
mad by the campaign organized against
him by the newspapers; that it was for
him a question OF life or death, and
that the three visited N. Herr to induce
him to use his influence to stop the at
tacks that were being made upon Baron
Do Reinach. NJ. Herr informed them
that it was not in his power to stop
these attacks and the visitors left.
NJ. Rouvier, in acknowledging that
the statement OF NJ. Clemenceau was
true, said that he had done nothing to
reproach himself for, and that his con-
science was easy.
NJ. Paul De Roulede, the former presi-
dent OF the suppressed patriotic league,
made violent attack upon NJ. Rouyier,
declaring that he ought to be COM
PEELED to appear before the high court
to answer charges made against him in
connection with his conduct while hold
ing a ministerial position.
NJ. Rouvier responded to N. De Rou-
lede, saying that he was ready to
answer in any court for any charge
that had been or might be made against
him, and that he would only repeat
what he had said.
NJ. Ronvier added that he had visited
Baron Reinach solely from motives of
humanity. lie declared that a section
OF the press was taking advantage OF
the Panama affair to throw slurs upon
all Republicans who arc in power. He
would resume this place as simple de-
putty and could hold his head high with
sense that his honor had not been sui
lied.
The resignation Of NJ. Rouvier will
probably result in an extension OF OIL
cial life to the Robot cabinet.
Shortly after NJ. Rouvier's visit to
President Carnot it was officially an
nounced that the finance minister's re-
siguation had been accepted, and that
NJ. Tirard, ex.minister OF finance and at
present representing France at the
Brussels monetary conference, had been
appointed to succeed him.

CHEYENNE, WYo., Dec. 1S.-Twilight
was just gathering Sunday evening,
when two heavily armed men, dressed
like cowboys, rode into the town of Gill
lette, bent on making raise at the
point Of their weapons. The visitors
forced their ponies into Tony Chris
tian's saloon and dance hall and Tony,
trembling, handed the robbers $3.50 and
four pistols. Five other men and a
couple OF women in the place were rob-
bed. Alter taking drink and treating
everybody the visitors rode to the
street. One of them proposed to rob
the postofiice and rode inside the little
place. He found girl behind the win
dow and when she told him there was
no money on hand he believed her and
rode out. The pair raided another sa-
loon and grocery store. By the time
the robbers were ready to leave Chris
tIan had small posse organized. The
highwavmen did not care for fight
and rode off in a hurry, going south,
with bullets flying after them.

UN1oNTowY, Pa, Dec. 13.-The cases
against Lutte Cooley and his family for
receiving stolen goods wore taken up
this afternoon. At the outset Attorney
A. F. Downs, for the defendants, held
that as there could not be a conviction
on the first count, which alleged steal.
ing, and as tho second count did not
state the value of the stolen goods al
legged TO have been received, the charge
ought to be qrashed.
After some argument the court stated
that it was 10th to quash the indict-
ments, and gave the district attorney
till tomorrow to combat tho argument.
The same flaw will be evident in all the
seven indictments and it is expected
that the cases will all be quashed. In
that event they will be deferred till the
March term. 1t is expected that the
same flaw will be discovered in the in.
dictments against Ida Pastor and her
father. The Cooleys' are jubilant.

the devil in this city with love.
"There is too great fondness for the
Mosaic law in those days." said he.
"Eyen some OF the churches are fond of
it. Now, don't make police court of
the church. Leave that to the proper
authorities.
"But they do not always do their duty.
They will club drunken mechanic and
then fine him $40, while rich man,
when found drunk, will be taken home
in carriage. That is a nice way to re-
form n drunkArd. Let the laws of Moses

was a dead failure, anyhow"
There will be noon prayer meeting
and On evening mass meeting every day
this week.
Mr.. Murphy says the report that a
home for fallen women is to be built in
Pittsburgh is true. He says; "0ur
plans are scarcely outlined, but they
will be completed Immediately after my
return to Pittsburgh in two or three
weeks. There is an association OF char
liable women in this city, the members
OF which are anxious TO aid fallen wo-
men who could be induced to lead bet
ter lives. We intend to build q home
where any outcast can find shelter, as
sistance and sympathy. Every large
city in the country should have an in
stitution OF this kind"

1ArrR-AN Arrest MADE.

Ats o'clock this evening the detec-
tives arrested Burrel Forgey for the
attempted train robbery. He is the
man who said he was shot in the right
shoulder after the affair by prowlers
around his house. He says some ono
passed and repassed his window. He
went to the door and was fired at and
nit. He shut the door and another
shot was fred through it and tore up
the carpet.
Forcey corresponds exactly to the
description OF tho taller robber, and has
been identified by Matheson as the
man. The ticket collector, thinner
man, says as the tall man got OF the
train he fred at him and the robber
threw his left hand to his right shoulder,
which is the location OF Forgey' wound.
It is thought Forgey fired the shots Mt
his home to give plausibility to his
story. The coat found by Bellamy, the
Chesapeake & Ohio watchman, had a
bullet hole in the right shoulder. For
gey is unable to produce any coat, and
says he lent it to his father. but cannot
tell where his father lives. He camo
here from Louisiana about two months
ago, where it is said he is wanted for
murder. Forgey is under guard OF two
officers at his home. The police think
they are close on tho trail of tho other

THE MURDER.

The larger one said to the already ter
rifed passe6gors: "Throw up your
hands; be quiet; you won't be hurt If
YOU don't move" He then went down
10 the other end of the car where he
accosted man sitting on the long seat
next the yestibule at the upper end OF
the car. This man was Oscar Tieche, OF
Cincinnati, who, with young lady occu-
pying the seat fronting him, were on
their way to New York, where they
were to be married and then so to Ger
many on q wedding trip. Tieche, in
stead OF complying with his demands
and not understanding the English
language, made a grab for tho revolver,
and Peter Drake, commercial traveller
from Cincinnati, occupying seat near,
came to his assistance. Tieche sue
ceeded in getting one OF the revolvers
from Drake, and catching hold OF the
man, who was trying to shoot, threw
the muzzIe OF his revolver down and
caught the load in his own foot, the
next shot striking him in the calf OF
the leg. Tieche was shot twice, one OF
the balls striking him under the right
eye, and the other in the face intlicEing
fatal wounds,
