tinguished. There was panic among
the passengers when the fire was first
discovered. but it soon subsidized. The

TROOPS UNDER ARMS.
Preparations in Paris to Promptly QueII
Revolution.

q hCNUiuliUiIs
PARIS, Jan. 16.-There is no doubt
that the troops of the Paris garrison are
kept ready for an emergency, and that
on very few minutes notice any
street in Paris would be COM
handed by infantry, cavalry and
artillery. Gen. Loizillon, the new
minister of war, had long conference,
yesterday, with Gen. Saussier, and it is
also known that Gen. Saussier's visit
to President Carnot had other motives
besides the desire of Saussier to disclaim
ambition for the presidency, Car
not's intlmates assert that he is
capable of being as stern and
resolute in the enforcement of authority
as any man who has ever ruled France,
should the occasion arise, and that his
courteous and polished manners are
the glove for an iron will. Should
Carnot be compelled, his friends say, to
face either Monarchist or an Anarch-
list uprising, he would astonisb the peo-
pie with his severity in crushing insur-
rection and Furnishing the guilty partlc-
ipants.
Secret orders have been sent to the
commanders of the several army
corps enjoinlng on them to be ready to
cooperate in case of necessity with the
civil authority and to deal promptly
and thoroughly with any symptoms Of
characterization in the army itself.
There is no reason to suppose, how
ever, that any INSTRUMENTATION exists.

locution, thanked God for having pre-
served him to celebrate his episcopal

The Homestead Poison Plot Informer on
the Witness Stand,
P1TTsBURG, Pa, Jan. 16.-Interest in
the Homestead poisoning case increased
to-day when Pat. Gallagher, the cook,
upon whose confession the charges of
poisoning were made, took the
stand. Gallagher said Hugh Demp-
sey, master workman of the
knights of Labor, gave him pow
ders to place in the coffee, and tea that
was to be given to the non-unionists,
saying the strike of the State Street
Car Company of Chicago had been
broken in three days by the use of
these powders. They would make the
man sick, he said, but would not
endanger life. Eight Or ten other wit
nesses who worked at the mill during
the strike, and who were victims of the
mysterious disease, were examined at
the morning session, but nothing new
was elected. The symptoms in each
case were the same. and several of the
witnesses had not fully recovered from
the severe attacks.

met death by electricity at Clinton pris-
on at 11:57 O'Clock this morning.
The condemned man slept well last
night, and arose early to attire himself
in the clothing prepared for him to die
in. Breakfast and devotions with two
French priests occupied his time
until called to prepare for death.
10th walked firmly to the
death chamber, where the now
familiar fixtures for execution were in
readiness. He knelt down facing the
chair and murmured a few broken
words of prayer, the priest raising him
and kissing him. The priest MUIR

10th sat down, and more quickly than
can be told the guards adjusted the
straps, and one minute from the time
the man had entered the room he
was ready for the fatal stroke. AS he

AT HER MERCY.


Edna Deane shrank back to the edge
OF the pit as she recognized the face of
the person who had come in response to
her cries for aid.
1t was Beatrice Mercer; there could
be no doubt of it, and the shock of the
recognition, a realization of the perfidy
OF her former friend, drove Edna to sud-
den silence.
She sank to the side of the pit and
looked up blankly.
Who is there, I say?" demanded
Beatrice, peering sharply down.
1t is |; Edna-Edna Deane."
"Incredible!"
Beatrice recoiled as if dealt sudden
blow and turned white to the lips.

COKE OPERATORS TO STRIKE.
Another Battle with Trick Planned by


PIrTsBURa. Pa, Jan. l6.-Thousands
of coke workers in Westmoreland and
Fayette counties are not discouraged
by the great defeat which they suffered
in the spring OF 1891 at the hands of Mr..
Frick, but are preparing for more des-
perate attempt to force from their en-
ployer higher wages and easier
regulations. The coming strike
will be operated by more
thorough organization of the
workingmen than existed two years
ago, and it is not unlikely that they will
be supported by simultaneous strike
of the miners at all the railroad pits in
that section whence coal is drawn to
supply the coke ovens. A similar Or
ganlzatlon among the miners in the
anthracite region of Easton, Pa, is I'M
doubtedly working in harmony with
the coke workers here and with the
Monongahela Valley miners.

that his name was Harold, and that the
man in the buggy was none other than
Booth.
