One Of the most CHASTITY executions Of
the French revolution was that of the
Marquis de Marville. While standing on
the scaffold awaiting the completion of the
preliminary arrangements, the marquis
addressed few words to the assemblags
of people.
He was proceeding to say that before he
died he wished to open their eyes to the
truth when he was seized by tho execu-
tioner and forced under the knife. With
the utmost sang froid the marquis contin-
ued; Educated as was among a privi-
legged class, l voluntarily abandoned my
friends to live among you, to earn my
daily bread side by side with you, and l
have always acted like good patriot"
At this moment the knife fell. The gull
lotine was, however, in such constant req
uisition that it was frequently out of order.
Upon this occasion the kuife fell, but did
not sever the vertebre, although the flesh
was horribly mangled. The executioner
and his assistants raised the knife anew.
As soon as they had done SO the marquis,
still lying face downward, continued, "As
l was saying, fellow citizens, when was
interrupted And again the knife fell,
this time accomplishing its ghastly work.

mr.. Vest Has an Amendment to Offer to
the Silver Bill.

mr. Vest Has an Amendment to Offer to
the Silver Bill.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 14-It might have
been expected that after a continuous ses-
sion of thirty-nine hours, and after par
tial failure of the test Of physical endur-
ance on the silver repeal bill, that that
measure would have been allowed to go
over until next Monday, and that the SEN
ate would have adjourned until then.
Such was not the case, however. The sen.
ate met at the usual hour yesterday, took
up the bill promptly and submitted, wear
led but patient, to the second instalment
of Mrs. Stewards speech. Not only did it
do so, but it was remarkable fact that
there were several more senators present
than there had been for some weeks past.
The first roll calls showed the presence of
hfty-four senatots, the second of fifty-one
and the thEd of ffty-two. The fifth call
showed the presence OF fifty-seven.
Mr.. Stewart announced his purpose not
to vote for any bin that would limit the
life of silver; and he was still talking at
Up. M, only interrupted by half hourly
calls There was, indeed, one longer
break in his speech, while Senators Teller
and Hoar had an excited discussion over
the rights of minorities.
Mr.. Vest (Mo.) gave notice of an amend
ment to the bill This amendment proposes
the repeal of the purchasing clause OF the
Sherman act: the issuing of coin certifi-
Gates for the uncoined bullion constituting
the seigniorage on the silver bullion here
tofore purchased; and it provides for the
coinage OF silver that may be deposited by
it's owners, and that is the product of
United States mines, at the rate of s3, ,000,-
600 month up to the limit of $500, ,OOO, 600

SoMERvrLLE, N. j., Oct. t4-A frlghtfui
gale OF wind and rain visited this portion
Of New Jersey last night and much dam
age was done. Trees were uproeted,
fences and outbuildings blown down and

sheets and the streets We're Hooded 70 a
depth Of two Or three inches. At II o'clock
the wind was estimated to be blowing at
the rate of fifty miles an hour. 1t is re-
ported that freight brakeman was
blown from the top of car on the Cen
tral Railroad of New Jersey. A farm
house back OF North Branch was blown
over. At bennington tho church steeple
was blown down for the second time
within year. The Raritan river is ris-
ing rapidly.
ATLANTIC CRY, Oct 14-The wind is
blowing at the rate of forty-five miles an
hour here, and tho rain is coming down in
sheets. The tide is very high along the
beach, and should the gale not abate much
damage will he done. Observer Emery, of
the weather bureau, is of the opinion that
the worst of the storm has not yet reached
here. The tide is very high along tho
meadows and the railroad tracks are sub
merged. The government life saving men
are more than usually alert The storm
has travelled fast, and shipping interests
are likely to suffer heavily.
WILMINGToN, Del. Oct. .14-At 10 o'clock
last night the upper stories of eight two
story houses in Eastlake, suburb of. this
city, were blown off by the gale. There
were several narrow escapes from death

The Grand Duchess Marie Fedorovna.
princess of Wurtemberg. wife of the Grand
Duke Paul, son and successor of Gather
inc the Great Of Russia, at festival given
in her honor by Marie Antoinette at the
Little Trianon, June 8, 1is2, wore on her
head little bird of precious stones, so bril-
liant that it panied the eyeto look at 1t. 1t
was set so as to swing and beat its wings
over rose.
Upon another occasion the duke was en-
tertained with great pomp at Chantilly by
the Prince Of Conde. At a dinner given in
the castle the table was covered with an al
most inexhaustible supply of gold and sill
yer plate. After each course the servants,
without noise or confusion, threw all the
magnificent vessels out of the windows, but
nothing was lost. The precious vessels,
jugs and dishes fell into the water of the
moat, from which they were taken out in
large nets.-Jewelers' Weekly.

FIf.een Others Were Seriously. Wounded.
Air Brakes Failed to Work.
JACKSON, Mich, Oct 14-The second
greatest accident in the history of the
Michigan Central occurred here yesterday
within 100 yards of the place where almost
fourteen years ago yesterday the Pacific
expfsss dashed into freight engine in
October, 1879, and eighteen people were
killed. Yesterdays disaster has so far
record Of thirteen dead, five probably ia
tally injured and fifteen others more or
less. The officers of the road give out the
following list of the killed.
q Maggie McWatson, Penn yam, N. Y;
Mrs. ]. N. Beardsley, Canton, Pa; Miss
Harriet Breeze, Pine City. N. Y; Susie
Headley. Warrior Run, Pa; James Wood

Mrs J. II. Keeler, Hamnondsport, N. Y;
Mrs D. j. Gibbs. whssler, N. Y; infant
child Of Mrs Anson Harrington. Elmira,
N. Y; two not yet identified.
An excursion train from the east was
standing at the depot when another ex-
cursion train pulled in. The engineer lost
control OF his air brake and could not stop
his train, and II rushed at the rate OF forty
miles an hour into the train ahead, plough
ing under it, and throwing the cars in all
directions. Nine cars join in the ruin. and
the engine was smashed.
The cars were terribly smashed, two of
them being thrown across the track. One
car WAS driven completely through an
other, and others were turned entirely
over
Hundreds of people were aboard the two
trains, and they were wedged in in all
kinds Of shapes. Some of the cars were
not badly enough wrecked to kill any Of
the people on board them and 1t is inirac-
ulous, considering the shape the cars were
left in, that any at all escaped without in
jury in some Of tho cars.
OF the unidentified dead. one is dark
skinned man with a flowing gray beard,
about go years Of age. There are no means
Of identifying him. The other is a woman
of 35 with dark hair and sallow complex
ion, having some show of beard Oh her up
per lip. Wears o Wedding ring on the
fourth finger Of the right hand. The man
is terribly crushed about the head and face,
but the features were discernible.
The unknown man and woman dead at
the morgue have not a scrap to identify
them, but some of the passengers say that
they believed their name is Buck, and that
they were husband and wife. They were
taken out together and seemed to have
been in one seat.

A BROKER IN TROUBLE.
Arrested on Q Stsrge q Fraud Against
the Goeernment. g~-

PHILADELPHIA, Oct. 14-John l.. Van
diver, q custom house broker, was taken
into custody by Deputy United States
Marshal Hunt and taken to the office Of
the United States marshal.
The warrant for Vandiyer's arrestwas
issued under a section of the United States
statutes providing for the punishment Of
every person who makes or presents, or
causes to be presented to any person In the
service Of the United States, any claim
upon the government knowing such claim
to be false, fictitious or fraudulent A
long investigation was had into the affairs
of the accused by the special customs
agents, and action was taken in pursuance
of instructions from the secretary of the
treasury to United States District Attor-
ney Ingham.
Vandiyer was one Of the five notaries
public appointed by the United States
treasury department to receive at the port
of Philadelphia declarations, and to osr
tify to the identity of the persons making
them. For some time, II is said the de-
fendant has been unable to prodnce any
authority for doing notary business and
his removal was demanded his license as
a notary having been revoked on Aug. II
by Governor Pattison.
1t seems there was entered on Aug. 1 at
this port from London a lot Of glass lenses
consigned to Vandiver as broker for the
firm Of Wilson & Co, OF Reading. 1t is
stated the accused notified the Reading
firm, at the same time sending them q
blank affidavit for them to sign. Wilson
e. Co. signed the declaration and for
warded 1t to Vandiver Then, according
to representations, the latter made out an
affidavit in their behalf as though they had
personally appeared before him and taken
the oaths. With his official seal placed
upon It, the allegation is that he presented
1t to the custom house
then the goods were gotten in free.
Subsequently fraud in the matter was re-
ported by che examiners, and Vandiver
paid over to the government a consider
able sum for duties.
The penalty for such an offeuse is fine
of 5000 and imprisonment of from two
to five years.
Vandiver declares his arrest was an out
rage, and that he can elear himself. He
was released on bail for hearing.

THE NEED OF CONSIDERATION.
How Women Who Have TO Work For q
Living Are Made to Suffer.


Every woman who has special work of
any sort to do finds the hardest part of her
day is spent In struggle with the webs Of
hindrances woven about her by old condi-
tions IL she is dressmaker or milliuer,
she will find her customers do not as n rule
keep their engagements to the letter, and
after having her time and patience frttered
into fringe she, too, will break her prom
ises and join the great army Of dressmakers
and milliners who have the name of never
keeping their word" ..5".
The woman teacher has the advantage Of
working within set limits, but even she has
no such privileges of retiring from social
obligations as do men What, not see meP
Not come to my tea party or dinner'" cries
her chance acquaintance with a spare half
hour or place to fill at table and straight
way is offended. As for women who from
the nature of thir work often labor at
home as authors, artists and teachers of
music, their Affections are legion from their
sisters who yet look upon special work by
women as something insurlng pocket
money without asking a male relative, but
as in no way cutting off abundant leisure
for waiting and visiting.
The woman whose activities have always
been confined TO her home knows absolute
ly nothing about the tyranny of order un-
der which work done outside must go on.
The article or story, the sketch or drawing,
bonnet or gown, must be ready at n certain
time, the concert or lesson must be given at
fixed date, whether the heart is worried or
the head aches.
If from necessity or choice one becomes
tiny part of the worlds machine, one
must keep up or drop out altogether; there
is no middle way. But for the woman who
fights the wolf or who chooses to enter a
profession or trade as life work society
has absolutely no consideration and small
charity. If her domestic says, Not at
home,' 10 save her time, she is called in
sincere, and IL she sends word that she must
be excused she Is not excused. Far from
it'll The visitor resolves to wait one while"
before coming again. Yet this woman
worker Graves good fellowship far more
than the woman of leisure.
The time has come when we as women
must treat the woman who works with at
least as much consideration as we accord to
men. That an appointment with dentist
must be kept goes without saying, but his
time is no more his little all and possession
than is the time of the dressmaker whom
we too often disappoint. We ask no ex-
cuse from the butcher or baker, the ply
sician or lawyer, when he rises abruptly
and says, II must 60" or when he declines
an invitation.
The women who must earn money or
starve increase in number in every year.
Opportunities multiply every year, but
women as a class do not yet recognize the
fact that the successful performance Of
work means helpful conditions We need
now not pioneers to open new doors and
new paths, but comprehending sympathy
at home, in our neighborhood, in our Set
