VI. Rivaud was again interrupted with
shouts of Death to the murderer. Re
venge!" "Revenge"'
Waving his hand for silence NJ. Rivaud
again spoke. saying: do not make my
mission more painful. We left II. Carnot
in the hands Of doctors. You understand

l. Examing the Wound.
On arrival at the prefecture Gen. Borius,
the project and the mayor alighted. Presi-
dent Garnet lay motionless and unconscious
upon the cushions Of the carriage. His
eyes were closed. His waistcoat was I'M
buttoned, and his shirt, on which the bright
red Gordon Of the Legion Of Honor was con-
spicuous. was covered on the left side just
ever the heart by large blood stain that
extended to the hip. 1t was impossible to
tell from his appearance whether he was
dead or alive.
The crowd surged about in the vicinity OF
the carriage. but the mounted guards and
the foot police held them in check some dis
lance from the landau in which the presi-
dent was lying. Many were the expressions
OF pity for the President and anger at his
assassin.
Gen. Borius. the project and the mayor.
assisted by number of attendants, lifted
NJ. Carnot from the carriage aud with diff
Guilty carried him tenderly as possible to
a room on the first floor OF the prefecture
and laid him on bed DR.. Gaileton, who
is mayor OF Lyons. then examined the
wound.
After examining the presidents wound all
the physicians in attendance upon him
agreed that an operation was necessary.
whereupon DR.. On!er Immediately probed
the wound.
While this was being done NJ. Caraot
came TO his senses and said, feebly, but dis
tnctly: Now you are hurting me-"
The doctors. however, continued TO attend
the wound. the outward bleeding Of which
had stopped. They knew. though. that the
presidents condition was extremely grave.
as they more than suspected that internal
hemorrhages had commenced.
After NJ. Carnot had been taken from his
carriage and placed upon a bed in the pre-
lecture nobody but the doctors and the off,
GERS of his military household, who had ac-
cCmpanied him to Lyons, were allowed TO
enter the room TO which he had been car

Death OF The President.
Shortly after midnight the archbishop of
Lyons was summoned to the bedside Of the
dying president to administer to him the
last rites of the church. He was in the room
tired to an adjoining room. Here he re-
manned until 1890 o'clock, when he was
again summoned to the presidents room.
where he administered to him the sacra-
ment.
NJ. Carnot remained conscious to the last.
He realized that his life was rapidly ebbing.
DR.. Ponce leaned over the bed on which
the president was lying and said to him
Your friends are here, Monsieur lie Presi-
dent"
Carnot replied: Il am grateful for their
presence" and in less than minute he
gasped for breath there was a convulsive
shuddering of his body and at l2:i5 the
president of France was dead.
The bed on which VI. Carnot died was OF
iron: 1t was placed between two windows
| of the palace At its foot was the bed Of
honor. which had been reserved for the
president. -

the senate and the chamber OF deputies.

The Assassin u Beardless Youth.
The assassin is an Italian named c. Clio
vanni Santo.
Santo. the assassin, is q beardless young
man. between twenty and twenty-five years
old. When arrested he was attired in
brown suit. and wore a peaked cap that
matched the suit in color
AS he marched under his police guard
from the Rue de la RepubliQue to the sta
ton he held his head down. but his eyes
glanced furtively around though ne was
seeking an opportunity to escape from his
captors. To have made such an attempt
however. would have been the height of
foolhardiness, unless he desired to commit
| suicide, for there is not the slightest doubt
that had he gotten away from the protec-
ton afforded him by the police he would
have been torn limb from limb by the
| crowd.
