staff the Prefect of Police. NJ. Loze, and his
staff the railroad officials and General Saus-
sier. the Military Governor OF Paris, with his
staff, met the body at the station, which was
heavily draped with Grape and other en-
blems of mourning.
The ceremonies at the railroad terminus
consisted only in the formal tranfer Of the
remains to the Prefect Of the Seine. The
coffin was placed in Learse and escorted to
the Elysee Palace, followed by five carriages,
including landau, which was occupied by
Nine Carnot ond her three sons. .
A crowd composed OF several thousands OF
people had gathered about the railroad sta
tion. Every person present stood with un,
covered head until the funeral corteSe passed
on It's way to the palace.
At the Eiysee the body was received by
the officers of the late Presidents civil
household, and was conveyed to one OF the
reception rooms, which mad previously been

with black cloth and having a catafaique IN
its centre, upon which, in silver letters, was

when the casket was placed IN the mortuary
chapel that she was compelled 10 tetire W

The body was at first guarded by four ca
diets from the military school of st. Cyr, and
later placed upon a catafalque in the court

ing his coachrean. The latter was greatly
attached to the President, and was so affect
ed when he saw the coffin carried into the
palace that he fell insensible and died from
the shock.
When the honored remains were being
borne to the Presidential palace, some care
lessness, some blunder beyond explanation
or excuse, resulted in most unseemly accl-
dent-tho heavy casket fell to the ground,
rolled upon persons standing nears and did
three of them injury.

All Europe Mourns.

Chancellor Won Caprivi called at the
French Embassy at Berlin to convey an eS-
preston OF the sorrow and sympathy OF the
Emperor Of Germany. Hundreds Of car
riages containing callers with similar mes
sages continued to arrive at the Embassy
during the morning and early hours Of the
afternoon.
The italian Chamber OF Deputies vas
crowded when Premier Crispi announced
the death OF President Carnot In voice
which gave evidence OF strong emotion.
During the announcement every member of
the Chamber arose to his feet and remained
standing until the Premier had ceased speak
ing. The President OF the Chamber then
said: s.Italy will join France in her mourn
Ing" A proposal was unanimously approved
that the Chamber should observe an appro-
pirate form Of mourning throughout the
session. The Chamber, after charging the
President to convey to the French
Government and Parliament an ex-
preston of the sentiments Of the italian
Chamber, adjourned. After adjournment

they left their cards. The flags on all the
muni.ipal buildings vera lowered to nall
mast. The Pope was deeply affected BY the
assassination of PresiIent Carnot. HIS

and Italy might be averted.
Following the precedent adopted at the
time of the death OF the late President
James A. Garfield, the British Court will go

TAR FOR TARSNEY.
The Adjutant-General Of Colorado
Outraged.

Probably the most Slaring outrage con-
nected with the recent mining trouble at
Cripple Creek, Col, was committed shortly
after midnight few mornings ago. Adju-
tant-General Tarsney, OF the Colorado State
National Guard, who was stopping at the
Alamo Hotel. Colorado Springs, was called
from his room shortly after II o'clock and
informed that some one at Cripple Creek
wished to speak to him over the telephone.
When General Tarsney appeared behind
the clerks desk to answer the alleged call
he was confronted by masked man, armed
with two revolvers, who ordered the CEN
eral to accompany him. The hotel clerk IN
the meantime had been placed under guard
OF one of the kidnappers.
General Tarsney called for help, but was
clubbed into submission with revolver. Sud-
denly several more OF the kidnappers ap-
peared and carried him TO the sidewalk
where two closed carriages under guard
were In waiting. He was hustled into one
of the carriages and driven to Austin Bluhs
at the CITY limits. On each OF the drivers
boxes sat one ofthe mob with drawn revol-
YER, who saw that the hack drivers promptly
obeyed orders.
Arriving at the open prairie, at Austin
Bluffs. General Tarsney was removed from
the carriage, stripped. and coat OF tar and
feathers was administered. The ringleaders
OF the kidnappers had previously ordered
that the General was not to be abused. Tas
order seems to have been obeyed after tne
General was subdued by clubbing at the no.
tel. After tar and featherins General Tars-
ney, the mob warned him against returning
to the Springs. -
The outrage, evidently perpetrated by the
miners concerned in the recent strlSe, Is
rta n
pointment at the attitude OF the militia. As
Governor Waite himself admitted, the militia
were sent to the Cripple Creek fields to aid
the strikers. They were expected to hamper
the campaign Of the deputies VINO we're yer uo.ns

forces with the deputies and the miners
were driven from their stronghold on Bull
Hill. and the strike ended. 1t Is believed
that they blamed the Aljutant- General for
their final defeat.

ROADS TIED UP.
The Pullman Boycott Showed Sur
prising Strength.


prising Strength.
AS result of the first day of the boycott
OF the Pullman Palace Car Company by the
American Railway Union over 5000 en-
ployes of the different roads out OF
Chicago went on strike. The attempt
to run Pullman cars resulted in the
tying up OF the yards Of fifteen railroads
centrlng in Chicago. Ofthesethe Illinois Gen.
tral, Wisconsin Central, Chicago and Great
Western, Baltimore and Ohio, Chicago and
Northern Pacific and the lines interested in
the Western Indiana system were tied up
completely, the only trains run out being
male up and manned by officers OF the
road. The switchmen Of the Pan Handle
and Northwestern roads also struck.
Strikes were also declared on the Fort
Wayne, the Pan Handle and other Pennsyl-
yania lines the Chicago and Northwestern.
Chicago and Alton and Santa Fe. The latter
road was partially tied up along the line on
orders issued by the union officials, but the
men in Chicago we're not ordered out.
At conference between President Debs
and Yice-President Howard. ofthe American
Railway Union and Grand Master Sovereign,
of the Knights of Labor, the Latter agree. to
support the Pullman strikers in the boycott.
and in accordance with the agreement issued
a manifesto addressed to all orders OF the
Knights of Labor.
The sensational feature OF the strike was
the complete tie-up of the roads running out
of the Grand Central Station at Chicago,
and which include the Wisconsin Central,
Baltimore and Ohio, Chicago and Northern
Pacific. and Chicago and Great Western.
Each road was left without single employe
in the yards. and although the Baltimore
and Ohio succeeded in getting out its pas
senger trains, all of the work was done by
the officers of the company, who manned
the switch engines and made up the trains.
A general strike was ordered on the North
ern Pacific system by the American Railway
Union because OF the boycott OF Pullman
cars.
Chief Arthur, of the Brotherhood OF Loco
motive Engineers, telegraphed ''The rules
OF our Order will not allow US to cooperate
With you. We blame Pullman for refusal to
arbitrate differences"
John Mcbride. President OF the United
Mine Workers, telegrAphrd that his union
would assist the boycott BY every legitimate
means il its power.
Vice-President Howard said that it was the
intention of the union to go on with the
dcht on all lines and until Mr. Pullman was
brought to terms.

TWINS SLAIN.
Tiny Tots Crushed by a West Jersey
Train.

Twin babies were killed on the West Jersey
Railroad at South Vinelend, N. j., few af-
terncons ago. They were Charles and An
ME Buck, children OF Charles and Mary Buck,
and were twenty-five months old. They
were playing on the track.
The tots were near Grant street crossing.
At this point the track runs on bee line for
several miles, and the engineer certainly
should have seen them for a minute before
he struck them. The engineer was James
Hand.
Both infants were struck as they were
playing with the gravel on the road-5ed.
The girl was thrown into the air and landed
in the ditch alongside the track. The boy
was thrown under the wheels and ground to
pieces.
The children's parents are gief-crazed,
and Mr.. Buck threatened to shoot the engi-
neer. Mr. Buck was struck at the same
crossing not long ago, but Was not injured.
The slaughter of the children will be thor
