ELECTIONS IN CORSICA.
Tho Loss OF Life Two Apparently Not
OF Much Account.


The elections for the council general
were going on all over the island of Cor
slca. The canton of Soccia comprises
several villages, among others Guagno,
noted for its famous mineral springs
and also for the turbulence of its people.
The elections took place in each village,
and on the morrow the presidents of the
several bureaus were to meet at Soccia
for the formal declaration of the poll.
In consequence of certnin disorders that
had already occurred, inc mayor of Soc
cia issued anedict to the effect that none
of the inhabitants of Guagno was to EN-
ter the village that day.
The inhabitants of Guagno chose to
ignore this order, and GO of them, all
armed, and all angry that their candi-
date had been defeated, marched upon
Soccia, headed by their mayor Two
gendarmes-not armed-had been placed
at the entrance of the village and warned
the advancing troops that they were to
come no'farther. The mayor Of Gnagno
cried "Fire!" There was general vol.
ley from his followers, and the two gen
darmes fell dead. "They both bore ex-
cellent oharacters. One of them had been
"a years in the service, had been proposed
for the military medal and leaves wife
and three children"
Suchswas the first account in edaily
paper of Bastia. It occupied about seven
inches of one column. The next day the
editor had had time to reflect Cor he, too,
may possibly have had significant
warning), for in an article three inches
long the account was somewhat quail
fed, and there was this important emen-
dation, sit seems we were not correct in
stating that it was the mayor of Guagno
who gave the order to fire upon the gen.
darmes"
| The third day there were just two
lines. "In consequence of the unfortu-
nate affair at Soccia it is probable that
the mayor of Guagno will send in his
resignation" That was all. ! took in

was curious to see how the affair would
end. but there was nothing more-ap-

Some Details About suicide.

From an analysis of 100 cases of suicide
contemporary concludes that, according
TO the evidence obtained, men destroy them
selves with much greater readiness than
women. The proportion is about two to
one. Middle age is the period at which the
tendency is most marked, and the middle
class holds the same position in the social
scale. Mental influence is more active than
any physical inducement, and pecuniary
and related social difficulties fill larger
space than any other group of motives.
