The French deputies were somewhat
prosily discussing the legality of MEM
ber's election Saturday afternoon, De-
cember 9th, and a vote had just been
impatiently called for, when dazzling
fash was seen over the heads OF the
Right, or Conservative, benches, and a
loud report followed. Almost imme-
diaely came a hail of bits of iron, jets
OF fame sprang up here and there, and
the chamber filled with dense, sitting
smoke.
Cries and screams resounded from all
sides, and when the smoke cleared
away deputies on the right were seen
covered with blood, while colleagues
hastily endeavored to stanch their
wounds.
In the adjacent galleries, men and
women who had been injured had fallen
back on their seats fainting.
The Able Lemire, Christian Social
ist, who moment before had been vo-
ciierously spplauding a speech, lay
bleeding on the floor of the house. Count
de Lanjuinais, also badly hurt, was
stumbling towards the door, supported
by friends.
The president OF the chamber, ex-Pre-
mier Dupuy, slightly wounded on the
head, sat for a brief time with his face
buried in his hands, the din and smoke
making action useless for while. Then

A Mysterious Burglar.

In the case of A. B. Treadwell, charged
with attempt to burglarize the postof-
fee here, the jury brought in verdict
of guilty. Treadwell is the man caught
by the police in the act of forcing an en-
trance through a window, but who
jumped fence and eluded the police by
boldly walking through crowded res
taurant, only to be recognized as he was
going out of the door. He was then
chased through the streets by crowd of
200 or 300 citizens, and at last cornered
and captured. He has ever since been an
enigma to the officers. He was elegant
ly dressed, with diamond shire studs, and
had a diamond studded gold watch. He
is evidently well educated man. No
one knows who he is.--Emporia (Kan.)

A Eso1 ELEVATOR.
New Orleans Has just Completed the First
One Ever Built.

New Orleans Has Just Completed the First
One Ever Built.
The National Rice Manufacturing
company of New Orleans has just COM
pleted the erection of the first rice ele-
vator in the world. The few trials so
far given it have proved the success of
the experiment, and other elevators will
be erected both at New Orleans and
other principal rice points in this coun-
try. The effect will be to revolutionize
the rice trade.
Under the old system the cost Of ham
ding and selling the cereal was very
great, besides the inconvenience of send
ing out samples of each shipment and
the impossibility of concentrating ship
ments owing to the difference in grades
and contracts for particular grades. In
the new elevator system the rice is
brought in car lots, dumped into the ele-
vator, is cleaned, weighed and automat-
ically assorted into one of six grades by
delicate machinery and is then loaded
into sacks, which are delivered on the
warehouse floor ready for the market.
Outside of the saving in the handling
the establishment of grades will facili-
tate and systemic the sales, doing away
with delay, cost and Inconvenience and
establishing the rice industry on the same
basis as wheat and other cereals. The
opinion of the rice men heretofore has al
ways been that was impossible to grade
rice.-St. Louis Globe-Democrat

Two Bucks at One Shot.

Tim Hennessey of Indian Creek, who
was in town last Saturday, tells us that
his 12-year-old stepson, Tommy Wallace,
killed two deer the Sunday before in a
remarkable manner. The boy, while
hunting in the mountains near Indian
Creek, shot large buck and killed it at
the first fire. Just as the slain deer fell
another buck presented itself right along
side the dead one. Young Wallace,
thinking he had won laurels enough for
a boy in one day, concluded not to shoot
again. But when he started to get his
game, what was his surprise to see this
one also fall to the ground, and when he
reached the spot he found two dead deer.
He had shot them both at the first fire.
The bullet which went through the neck
of the first had entered the breast of the
second deer.-Trinity Journal.

Fought to q Seal Finish.

A scientific boxing contest to the
finish," or in other words what seems to
have been a regular prize fight, took
place between two of the male birds on
the ostrich farm at Riverside few days
ago. The birds fought viciously with
their feet till one succeeded in dealing
the other knockout blow. The defeat
ed bird died in few days, causing loss
of about 5000 to its owners.
1t is said that there is no living crea-
ture that can kick harder than the os-
strich. 1t is almost certain death for a
man or beast to receive the full force of
one of its kicks when it is in a fit of
rage. The keepers of the ostriches say
that it is almost impossible to separate
them when they are engaged in a fierce
fight, and it is highly dangerous to at
tempt it.-Pomona Progress.
