DESPERATE FIGHT AT A MEETING.

Marquis Mores Attacks the jews in q
Speech and a Pitched Battle Results,
in Which Many Are Hurt-Anarchists
Call Upon the People to Destroy Their
Corrupt Oppressors.
PARIS, Jan. T. The great anti-Semitic
meeting was held at the Tivoli Vauxhall
last night under the supervision of the
Libre Parole group. The hall was
packed, and the first two speakers were
received apparently with enthusiastic ap-
prevail.
The principal speaker of the evening
was the Marquis de Mores. He began his
address with general onslaught on the
Jews as the corrupters of French honesty
and the haters of French honor.
4 tremendous uproar granted these
assertions and about so men started for.
ward to dispute with the Marquis his
place on the platform. At the steps to
the platform they met some 80 partisans
of the Libre Parole group, who showed
fight.
Iron chairs and tables were thrown
about. The Marquis de Mores and his
little band of adherents were obliged to
stand their ground, as there was no rear
exit, and there was a terrible struggle.
Many nasty wounds were inflicted. De
Mores and his party fought their way to
the floor where a pitched battle was
fought by police and the factions Of the
audience.
Many were removed unconscious from
the hall and numerous arrests were made
Serious developments were averted only
by the moderation of the police.
A lighted cigar was thrown from the
gallery while the Marquis de Mores was
speaking. 1t was mistaken for a bomb
and produced a partial panic.
Several newspapers predict the arrests
of more Deputies and Senators on next
Monday. The police were busy between
one and three o'clock this morning de-
stroying incendiary placards posted by
anarchists.
These placards called upon the people
to rise at once, seize arms, destroy their
corrupt oppressors, and seize the rens of
government. A feeling of alarm was ap-
parent throughout the city last evening
and is likely to increase to-day in conse-
quence of the prophecies of the press that
the worst developments are to come.
Gen. Saussier, Military Governor of the
city, has taken every possible precaution.
The city would be safe were it not for the
general conviction that the government is
playing fast and loose in the Panama
matter

ARE AMERICANS IMPLIcATEDi


New YORK, Jan. THE report that NJ.
Charles de Lesseps, who is in prison in con-
nection with the big Panama scandal, had
made startling disclosures affecting
American as we'll as European houses and
would turn States evidence created d
considerable stir in banking circles.
1t was the one topic of conversation
around Broad and Wall streets and the
tickers were eagerly scanned for further
particulars. "A prominent tinancier said:
The feeling is pretty general that if
the whole truth is ever told it will put
some American firms in a pretty serious
light. Probably no one is better able to
do this than young De Lesseps; and if the
report is true that he has turned States
evidence we may look for some startling
disclosures.
'Of course, while this will cause q
great amount of anxiety until full par
ticulars as to his alleged statements are
received, nobody is willing to talk. When
it is known who ace implicated the public
will indeed be surprised"

Uselessness of Church Bells.

What need for church bells in this
age of cheap clocks and watches?
Birmingham gentleman who propounds
this question has been ut the pains to
test the actual utility of bell which
the sexton of his parish church is given
to ringing with painful perseverance.
On several successive Sunday evenings
he has taken note of the actual effect
of this method of promoting punctual
attendance at worship with the follow
ing results: For the first few minutes
after the commencement of the ring
ing no one appeared. About ten min
utes later people began to slowly filter
in, the advance guard being led by
who had the sacred edifce all to them
selves for at least ten minutes. For
the space of twenty minutes there were
not above a dozen people in the church,
most of whom were children. At
twenty-five minutes after they began
to hurry up; in the next five minutes,
when the bell stopped, sixty five had
passed in and they continued doing so
for another thirty minutes, when an
equal number en- tered the sacred edi-
fee. Upon another occasion this
patient observer notes that from the
time the bell commenced till it ceased
about seventy persons went in, where
as in the succeeding fifteen minutes as
many as one hundred and twenty en-
| tered, or nearly double the number
who had gone in previously to the stop
ping of the bell.-London Daily News.

eANDMAsrER cAPPA.
His Demise Follows Close to That o
Gilmore.

Gilmore.
NEW York, Jan. 7.-Bandmaster Cappa
of the 7th Regiment, National Guards OF
the State of New York, is dead at his
home in this city.
Mr.. Cappa's death was very sudden and
was the result, his friends and relatives
believe, of cold contracted when he led
his band in the big Columbus celebration
parade
Heart failure is said to be the direct
cause of death.
Charles Cappa was born in Alexandria,
Kingdom of Sardinia, Italy, in 1884, and
came to the United States in 1858. He
was then young but promising must
clan, quite noted even at that time for
his trombone playing.
He had made a reputation for himself
on the way over as Il master of that in
strument. The trip was made on the
steamship Constitution, and several con-
certs were given during the days occupied
in crossing the ocean.
Upon arriving here, young Cappa enter
ed Ned kendall's Boston Brass Band, and
played his instrument in that organiZa-
ton for two years, after which he became
a member of the 7th Regiment Band
then led by Grauffulla.
When the civil war broke out Mr.. Cappa
entered the ranks with the 7th Regiment
and served during the entire period.
He afterward became first trombone in
Theodore Thomas orchestra, which po
sition he occupied for seven years.
1t was Mr.. Thomas who recommended
him for leader of the 7th Regiment Band.
The appointment was made by Col.
Emmons Clark, and Cappa satisfactorily
filled the Office for eleven years.
Before he entered the 7th Regiment
Band he was a member of P. S. Gilmore's
band. He succeeded Charles Wernig as
leader of the 7th.
