The men and officers took refuge in tents. At the telegraph office sat McMahcn sending in his report of the day. In camp with him were bis wife and another vo- man. Suddenly McMahon straight ened out in his chair and woman's scream rang above the din in the office. Simultaneous with this a binding flash and deafeuing report occurred. A rush was made for
 office, kind hands lifted the operator from bis chair, and placed him on a litter brought from the hosiptal. Soon McMahon revived, and had nothing more occurred the regiment would have slept with joyous hearts,

THE ANARCHISTS.
They Constantly Harassed Ex-consul- Gen
 eral King
AT PARIS.
Sent Him Threatening Letters Offered to Blow Up His R sdence
 With Dynnmite.

NEW YORK, July l7.-General Adam E. King, who was consul general to Paris until the appoint ment of his successor, Samuel k. Morss, of Indiana, returned 10 this country to remain until this fall when he will go to Paris for the winter. He reached here on the steamship La Touraine, Saturday. Among other things which Gen. King talked about to the reporters who called upon him was the pardoning of the Chicago Anarchists by Governor Altgeld, of Illinois. q think if an outrageous piece of business that cannot be too severely condemned or too strongly" He said, Ut was an outrage not only upon law but upon law-abiding people of the en- tire country. The Anarchists in Paris approve of the action of the government of course. The anarchists of that city keep close watch on things of that sort. They frequently sent threat ening letters to me. Some letters contained threats to blow up with dynamite the house in which l was living. Then 1 received other let ters merely telling me it was about time for me to leave the city. Of ten letters would be couched in low street slang, and frequently the lan- guage used would be of the most indecent character. These letters came in the greatest numbers about the time of the execution of Ravachol. I preserved some of these letters, and think they will make interest ings souvenirs of my experiences abroad. The only motive l ever could see for making me the target of this thing was 1 was an AmeIi- can consul, and in this country some Anarchists had been hanged"
 "When the recent Paris riots began, !" said Gen. King, changing the subject, "They did not amount to much. Later, people who are always anx- ious to make a disturbance, toek it up. The presence of the military had remarkable effect in quelling the disturbance. The commercial and industrial condition of France is prosperous. While the dyouth ruined the hay, wheat and oat crops, 1t is just the sort of weather for grape vines, and the wine product this year will be large. France is not paying much attention to our silver discussion, and 1 do not hear of many Frenchmen who are coming to the Worlds Fair. There is no cholera scare in France now"

There are Two Comets Inst sRd Of one--The
 Second Developed in the Tail
 of the First.
 SAN JOSE, CAL, July 17.-An inltnstant discovery regarding the comet has been made at Lick Obserg- atory. The photographic plates re- veal the fact that the celestial visitant is not alone in its glory, but has companion. The second comet Is enyeloped in the tail of tho first one and shows distinctly as a nehulous like conden- sation. It's tail also .merges into that of the other. Director Holden and astronomers on the mountain are much elated over the discovery It was revealed by photograph of the comet taken Thursday night by Professor Hussey and cannot be seen through telescope. It appears to move in the same orbit as the main one, or an orbit exactly parallel and at the same rate of speed. The discovery makes more certain the theory of original force which throws out the comets sends out more than one at a time. This was before thought to be correct from the fact that more than ore comet has been found in tho same or nearly same orbit.

Di.d with Fever.

PHILADELPHIA, July 14-"Mr. Berry, U. s. Consul at Santos, ," said Capt. Holland of the brig Oderilla, which arrived from that fever stricken port, lis living at his English home at Sac Paulo," town about twenty miles from Santos.

but as the men turned to leave the office a little relief corps was seen running by with man, then came another and another, and they kept coming until eight had been carried in and laid on cots, one poor fellow beyond all help. He was dead. On each side were broth CTS suffering from a terrible shock. Besides the electric storm there was a strong wind and rain storm, and the tents were blown down and camp equippage was blown in all di rections, and the greatest confusion prevailed in camp for long time. Col. Caldwell was standing in tent with several officers when shock came and an orderly was struck and fell in the colonel's arms. Governor Peck was in the hospital during most of the evening. He directed no pains be spared to relieve the suffering of the injured, and placed his head quarters at the disposal of Maj. Bey- CTS for hospital service.

Property.
 ST. LOUIS, Mo, July 15.-The stockholders of six building and loan associations, each capitalized at $500, GOO, are wondering to-day where they are at. The associations are Western Union Nos. l, 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6. Yesterday Milo T. Bo- gard, secretary of all the associa- tions, and also one of the largest real estate dealers in the city, gave warranty deeds to all the property to John N. Vette, a money lender, whose rates of interest are considered too high for ordinary business men to touch. For what purpose the deeds were given could not readily be learned. The stockholders of the six associations learned of the transaction and this morning, alarmed for their own interests, swarmed at Regards office and took possession of the books. An ex animation was at once commenced, but it will take a long time to un- ravel them in their complicated condition. In the meantime Bo- gard cannot be found, and there fore no explanation of his side of the situation can be obtained. Bogard is under bond of $l5,000 to the building and loan association to SC. cure them.

 WORLDS FAIR, July l7.-A war of recrimination has begun between the authorities, the fremen and cold storage representatives as to the cause of the holocaust, exactly who is responsible for the great loss of life, and to whom is to be credited the glory of saving the body of Capt. Fitzpatrick from the flames. Much of the glory that has been publicly allotted to various fremen is being rapidly absorbed by the unseemly dispute that has broken out in the fire department over the identity of those who performed their duty fearlessly that eventful day, and the task of awarding medals 10 the survivors who are entitled 10 this great distinction threatens to become very difficult one. Much qualification is being felt over the rapid accumulation to the relief fund for the families of the fire victims.
 The Worlds Fair receipts yester day and donations of concessionaries swelled the total to about $50, ,000, and still the work of charity con tinues.
