Paris Again the Scene of Fresh and 0eSper-
ate Rinting.

oOO ''No"S'
PARIS, July 8.-The city was in the
hands of mob last evening. In the
Boulevard Voltaire and the Boulevard
du Temple the rioters were armed with
clubs and a few revolvers. They
marched cheering and singing towards
the Place de la Republique At the
corner of the Rue d'Angouleme the
rioters in the Boulevard Voltaire were
met by body of dragons and
lancers. They were ordered back,
but pressed ahead. The military
charged, but, although many rioters
were knocked down and trampled, the
mob did not recede. There were
showers of stones and scattering shots.
Several were struck with clubs. The
charge was repeated, and the mob be-
gan retreating slowly. There was no
scattering or sign Of panic. The men
backed off step by step, those in front
welding their clubs right and left and
those behind splitting up booths and
kiosts into weapons. After six charges
the military had forced the mob back
to the Boulevard Richard LIE Noir where
the fire was suspended. On their
return the rioters had set fire to the
booths which they did not split into
clubs. For five blocks the Boulevard
VOltaire is strewn with broken timbers,
charred boards and torn and bloody
clothing. Most of the windows were
smashed during the conflict. Thirty or
forty rioters are known to have been
seriously wounded. Many others re-
ceiyed slight injuries. Two lancers are
said to have been wounded by revolver
shots. In the Boulevard du Temple
encounters took place.
A violent attack upon M. Dupuy, the
prime minister, was made in the Cham
Der of Deputies to-day by NJ. Parlin
Merry and Tony Revillon. The attack
had it's origin in the course the gov
eminent had pursued towards the
rioters, and the three deputies were very
bitter in their denunciatlon Of the prime
minister. Their TRADE had no effect ~
on the sentiment of the chamber, tor
the house, by vote of 343 to 134, adopt
ed the order of the day express
ing confidence in the government.
After the result Of the vote had been
announced NJ. Ernest Roche demanded
charge of fomenting civil war. The
Chamber rejected the demand and at
12:55 o'clock adjourned.
M. Revillon charged that the govern
ment was alarming the provinces by
Withdrawing troops from ten depart
ments and drafting them to Paris.
The closing of the labor exchange,
ne declared, was wanton act. There
was not single workingnan among the
rioters. The workingmen were devoted
to the republic. M. Camille Dreyfus
protested against the violation by police
of hospitals, referring to the recent
arrests Of house surgeons at Charity
Hospital on the ground of kissing the
police. He also protested against the
troops charging upon the people. VI.
Dumay a Socialist, demanded that the
government be impeached.

ALMOST A HURRICANE.
Chicago Has a Bad Sunday-Four Per
sons Drowned in the Lake.

49,
CHICAGO, ILL.,, July 9.-Chicago was
visited at $50 this afternoon by the
most terrific storm it has experienced
tor years. The wind blew almost
hurricane, and the rain fell in
torrents. The earlier part of the day
was we'll nigh perfect. The storm
gathered in the north and west
with marvellous quickness. All at once
it was here, and the next minute it was
sweeping over the city, leveling trees
and spreading death AMI destruction
among the many pleasure boats which
were out upon Lake Michigan, Owing
to the beautiful weather during the
morning and afternoon these were more
numerous than usual. Many narrow
escapes from death were experienced,
but SO far as known, the loss Of life is
limited to four, all Of them lost
by the capsizing Of the sailing yacht
Chesapeake, which was overturned
about two miles from shore. The party
on the boat consisted OF nine people,
and of these four were drowned. The
dead are Ethel Chase, Is years old, Of
Boston, Mass; Themistocles Tmbalis,
Harry NARROW, William B. Cornice.

CHICAGO, ILL.,, July 7.-Western roads
have finally backed down on the cues
ton Of Worlds Fair rates, and seven
and eleven day excursion trains from
all points in Western Passenger Associa-
ton territory are now accomplished
facts. The association meeting to-day was
entirely taken up by the discussion and
arrangement of the plan for the ex-
cursions. A committee from the
Worlds Fair state exhibitors first ad-
dressed the meeting strongly urging the
establishment of one fare for the round
trip. After the committee had with
drawn the matter was referred to a
committee Of six. The committee's re-
port was adopted, only one road
standing out, and that road wished
a one-fare rate without anv restrictions:
The committee reported in favor of
selling tickets good for continuous pas
sage in coaches only-no sleeping or
chair cars to be used-good for return
either seven or eleven days from the
date Of issue, and good " ION no other

Sensational Suicide of a Rich Polish Girl In
Brussels,

BRUSSELS, July S.-Some excitement
was caused here by a report that
a young Polish lady residing in Brus-
sells had committed suicide and had
been burr ed secretly after an unfortu-
nate love affairs with an exiled French
prince Mile. Wanda De KasZyc, q
years, belonging to noble
Polish family, resided with her rela-
tives, NJ. and Nine. Metchkovsky, the
former an ex-chancellor to Gar Alex
ander H., occupied ground floor
apartment at 345 Avenue Louise.
Prince Victor Napoleon who lives
close by, frequently passed the
house and Mile. Wanda fell
deeply in love with him and
wrote him several letters. AS the
Prince did not answer her, she stole a
revolver and shot herself through the
heart. According to one version the
deceased left some letters Of a very
compromising nature to the Prince, but
NJ. Metchkovsky and the Prince both
deny this indignantly.

Sanger at the Head Again.

TOLEDO, O., July S.-This has been
great day for w. G. Sanger, the Milwau-
kee champion, in the Toledo cycling
races. He defeated John S. Johnson,
the Syracuse lad in the mile open, and
set the record for the track 2:20 % in
the one mile handicap. There was a
very large field. Sanger and Johnson
took the rear and allowed the
field good lead to the first lap, when
ing the entire field, with the exception
of Julian p Bliss, of Chicago, whom
they passed almost in front Of the grand
stand, johnson losing by about ten feet
The cheers which greeted Sanger's
victory were deafening, as the Wiscon-
sin boy has jumped into decided popu-
lar favor here His work in the mile
handicap is regarded as phenomenal, in
view of the stiff breeze and new track.

PoMERoY, Ia, July S.-f'orty-four is
now the numbers Of the dead at Pome
roy. The scene is one of the saddeSt
ever witnessed, and even the strongest
are compelled to turn away from some
of the sights at the city hall
los injured now are. Eeyery dwelling
hospital, as all have been thrown wide
open and from two to eight wounded
are being kept in each. Little Charles
Rusen, a bright 4-year-old boy, died at
midnight last night, enduring his terrible
wounds to the last heroically.
Gov. BOles is on the ground and is
doing all in his power for the comfort of
the wounded Physicians and nurses
are needed badly. Ten physicians are
all that are here to-day and calls cannot
be promptly answered. The neighbor
ing cities and towns are providing
nurses literally, but more are needed.
Of the injured from ten to twelve more
will die.
1t seems that the storm started about
one mile west of Cherokee and followed
closely the Illinois Central Railroad,
cutting swath from one-quarter to
one-half mile wide and completely de-
molished everything in it's path
for q distance Of sixty miles.
Near Fonda, Mrs. E. S. Gordon and two
children were killed. Near Newell,
John Detwiler was killed and his wife
fatally injured. Up in Wright County,
eight miles west of Belmont, John
Ieuben and his daughter were killed.
The total deaths from the storm thus
far heard from reaches sixty-three.
The work of burying the dead at
Pomeroy has commenced. Seventeen
were laid away yesterday afternoon and
to-day twenty more were buried. A
number of bodies have been shipped
away. Scenes are heartrending as rela-
tves from distance come to gaze into
the faces of their dead.
Two hundred and eight residences
were swept completely off the face of
the earth and not a board is left.
Hardly residence remains untouched,
and the business portion of Pomeroy is
SO badly wrecked that it can be said
with truth that Pomeroy is no more.
Dead horses, cattle and hogs are be-
ing cleared up from the rubbish to-
day and buried. Co. G., of Fort Dodge,
assisted by companies from Storm
Lake and Perry, are on guard night
and day. Itseems that as many fatal
tiles resulted from going into cellars as
to those who stayed above ground.
The seven churches of the city are all
demolished and no services will be held
tomorrow All is sadness and gloom.
The total amount of damage done by the
cyclone in the state is conservativclv es-
timated at $S00,000

Execution OF Miller, the Slayer of the Two
Girls


BARDwELL, KY, July 8.-William
Miller, the negro who assaulted and
murdered two girls, was hanged yester-
day. 1t was at first intended to burn
him alive, but the plan was changed.
The negro gave his name as Miller
and the man says he has not been in
Kentucky recently, but coat found at
the scene of the crime fits him. Several
rings found in his possession were iden-
tilted by J. A. Porter as rings stolen
from him last Sunday night at Clinton,
Ky. The fisherman who set the fellow
across the river the evening of the muir
der says this is the identical man he
carried over.
Before he was executed Miller made
statement affirming his innocence.
Many believe his statement. After he
was hanged the body was burned.

PARIS, July 10.-Despite the assertions

this city are at an end, the government
has not relaxed its measures to put

that further outbreaks are expected and
the troops now in the city will be kept
in their barracks until Saturday
next for use in case Of emergency.
Tomorrow will be the anniversary of
the execution of Ravachol, the notorious
Anarchist thief and murderer, and it is
feared that the Anarchists will attempt
to make riotous demonstration on the
occasion. Friday, July14, will be the IO4th
anniversary Of the fall of the BastiIe,
which is made a general holiday and it
is apprehended that the dissatisfied
element will attempt to take advantage
of the day to make trouble.

Saved by His wifc's wit.

The Rev. DIR. Clinton Locke, the popu-
lar Episcopal clergyman, of Chicago,
made bad break the other day. but
was helped ont by the quick wit of his
wife. On the day in question he saw a
lady about to call whom he was anxious
not to meet. SO he said to his wife:
"Now I'm off, my dear. I'll run up
stairs and escape till she goes away"
After about an hour he quietly tiptoed
to the stair landing and listened. All
was quiet below. Reassured he began
to descend, and while doing so he
thoughtlessly but emphatically called
out over the banuister:
We'll, my dear, has that old bore gone
at last"
The next instant voice from below
caused the cold perspiration TO bedew
his ministerial brow and rooted him to
the spot. There came response which
sounded inexpressibly sweet to him just
then. 1t was the voice of his wife, who,
with true womanly tact, replied, eyes,
darling, she went away over an hour
ago, but here is our good friend, Mrs.
Blank, whom | am sure you want to
meet"-New York Tribune.

The owners of what are called the
Holman-Caldwell patents are having
fitted up in Milwaukee u locomotive to
be equipped with new style of running
gear, which its owners think will accom-
plish great things in railroading. The
new running gear consists Of truck
with ten wheels, three of which on each
side rest upon the rails, and are sur
mounted by two Others, the tires Of
which have frictional contact with the
tires of the wheels below. Then sur
mounting these two wheels is the drive
wheel of the locomotive, the wheel ar
rangement ON each side being that Of a
pyramid, with the drive wheel on top.
AS the lower sets of wheels are of
much smaller diameter than the drive
wheels which transmit motion to them
it is claimed that the ordinary speed Of
u locomotive can be doubled by the use
of this gearing, 4 stock company has
been formed to exploit this invention,
and as soon as possible trial trip is N
be made. 1t is proposed to first run the
engine now being equipped from Mime

and within ten inmates from the time the
grip first took hold we were tied in seven
kinds of hard knots and wanted mule team
to hold us. 1t should be explained that this
collie is next door to Asiatic cholera, and
when it takes hold it means business at whole
sale rates.
We were seriously i'll for two days and
nights, during which time we had scores of
callers and our friends were anxious to extend
every aid. During the ten hours in which it
was thought we must turn up our toes busi
ness was mostly suspended in town, and our
condition was bulletined every fifteen min
utes. Our warmest thanks are due to our
friends and acquaintances and the public
generally. We are now about well again,
and shall be more careful in future This
town can't afford TO lose us just now, and
we realize more than ever that our death
would be a serious setback to the entire
state-Detroit Free Press.

FOR PURE FOOD.
The San Francisco Board Of Health No
tiry Consumers which Ia the peat
Baking Powder,

The san Francisco Board of Health No
tlS Consumers which Ia the peat
Baking Powder,
The Board of Health can engage In no
more laudable occupation than the ex-
animation OF our food supply and the
instruction of the public ~ to those ar
tlcles IL finds to he pure and wholesome,
and which, therefore, consumers should
use.
There are quantities of baking pow.
ders in the market TO use which is GER
tain detriment to the health OF the con-
sumner. They are made from alum, or
improperly compounded from other
chemicals, so that they leave u strong
alkaline residuum in the food. Many OF
these powders, having proved unstable
in the East, have been collected by their
manufacturers from the dealers with
whom they were left on commission, and
shipped to the Pacific Coast. In the Of.
fort to gain foothold in this market
their unscrupulous manufacturers have
INDUCED in eXtravagant statements both
with reference to their own and other
brands, claiming the most improbable
Endorsements for theirs and delaming
the brands best known and longest used
upon the Pacific Coast. This intorma-
tion from this high authority, therefore,
is most opportune.
The strength in leaveninggas indicates
both the economical value and the purity
of a baking powder. The tests made by
Messrs. Thomas Price 4 Son, the we'll
known analytical chemists of San Fran
cisco, show tho Royal to contain l9l
cubic inches OF leayening gas per ounce
of powder, which was dlty-one inches
more than the next highest in strength.
This shows the Royal about 80 per cent
stronger than the best of the other
powders and its use that much more
economical.
The opinion of the Board Of Health is
as follows:
We, the members of the Board OF
Health OF the city and county OF San
Francisco, cordially approve and recon-.
nend the Royal Baking Powder. 1t is
absolutely pure and healthful, composed
Of the best ingredients, Of the highest
strength and character.
In our judgment it is impossible TO
make purer or stronger baking powder
than the Royal. San Francisco Chron-
icle.
