ASSASSINATED.
PRESIDENT OF FRANCE
STELLETTOED BY AN ITALIAN AN
ARCHIST IN THE STREETS OF
LYONS.

President Carnot, of France,
was assassinated Sunday night
last i'll Lyons, France, by all 1tal-
ian named Cesario Santo, known
as militant Anarchist, at 0:25
o'clock. The President was rid
ing in a carriage at the head of
a procession to the theatre, when
the assassin sprang upon the
carriage steps and plunged a
knife into his breast. The Presi-
dent lived about four hours. The
murderer who is a beardless
young man of 22 years, was seiz-
ed by the mob, and it was with
great difficulty the police could
rescue him.
The President was visiting
Lyons in connection with the
international exhibition. He
had just been attending a ban
quet given in his honor, and
when halfway down the street
which was lined with enthusiast
tic crowds of people, who were
loudly cheering, and at the
moment the President was way
ing his hand and saluting with
his hat Ill response to the ovotlon
that was being given to him by
the crowd, Santo rushed ont of
the crowd and sprang upon him
with his knife.
ANTI-ITALIAN FEELING.
After it became generally
known that his assassin was an
Italian the feeling of deep indig-
nation among the crowd found
vent in the form of attacks
upon cafes kept by inoffensive
natives of Italy. Three such
places kept i'll the vicinity of the
Palace of Commerce were totally
wrecked by the Infatuated mob
French flags, which were i'll
abundance, were then procured
by the crowd and with cries Of
Down with the foreigners.
"Out with Them" hundreds OF
men and boys marched to the
Rue de la Barre, III which street
the Italian consulate is situated
There is no doubt that the consul
late would have been sacked haC
it not been for the prompt action
of the police, who stopped the
crowd and compelled its mem
bers to disperse.
The excitement continues a
fever heat, and it would take
very little to precipitate bloody
auti-Italian riots. All over the
city threats are made to take
summary vengence upon tbs
countrymen of Santo, and the
authorities, fearing that attempts
will be made to put these into
effect ordered bodies of cuirass,
iers to patrol the city to prevent
an outbreak. Everywhere tie
troops are greeted with cries Of
Long live the army"

The assassination of President
Carnot, the able, discreet, popu-
lar Chief Executive of France, is
another fearful evidence of the
progress of crime and violence.
Twice in this land of freedom
have Presidents been sent to their
graves by the hands of cranks,
their hearts all OH fire ofhell with
madness, and twice have the
people mourned for the bloody
shameful deeds. Not many years
ago the Emperor of Russia was
murdered, and now the President
of the Republic of France has
been sent by the 1emorseless as
sassin to "the undiscovered coun-
try" the scoundrel doing the
deed placing himself "beyond the
infinite and boundless reach of
mercy"
Where and when will this An
archie deviltry end?

Mr.. w. J. Mcconnell, Of Balti-
more, who has been spending a
few days at Morehead, arrived
here yesterday, and gave all &C
count of a thrilling experience
of his there. in which he and a
young lady had a narrow escape
from drowning. Mr.. Mcconnell
and the young lady, who was
from Edenton, went into the
surf together Monday afternoon,
and both being expert and dar-
ing swimmers, got out beyond
their depth, and before they
could recover footing they were
caught by the undertow.
Both struggled hard to swim
in, but they were carried further
out instead and both becoming
exhausted Mr.. Mcconnell shout
ed to those on shore for help.
Two brave men, Capt. Primer
and Mr.. Thomas, two boat1nan
at Morehead, at once swan out
to them. Mr.. Mcconnell had
succeeded in sustaining the lady
and kept her from going down
at the risk OF his own life and
was completely exhausted when
The men reached them. Mr..
Mcconnell is a gentleman of
splendid physical strength, and
it stood him i'll good stead in the
emergency. He retained his
presence of mind to remark
able degree, and but for his cool
ness both would have been
drowned before help came.
When the men reached them
they took the young lady who
was nearly drowned and COM
pletely helpless, and carried her
i'll to the beach while Mr.. McCon
nell, who was nearly exhausted,
succeeded i'll swimming in un-
aided. Both were given the ad
vantage Unnecessary restoratives
and were soon entirely over all
bad effects.
Such things have often hap
penened, although the beach at
Morehead has been very free
from them, and it should be a
warning to bathers not to go out
too far.
