Lyons, and arrangements were at once
perfected with the railroad company, and
in short time, with her danghtes, who
were weeping bitterly, she was speeding
to Lyon in the hope that they would ar
rive there to find the reports of the
Presidents condition exaggerated. The
journey is about 3l5 miles, and before
the train had proceeded a dozen miles a
dispatch was handed aboard saying that
Carnot was dead.
1t would be difficult to express at this
time an opinion of any value as to the re-
suit of the assassination on the future
OF France. That political cabals would be
formed to secure the election of sue
cessor goes without saying, but the time
in which combinations can be formed
would be limited, for on Wednesday the
Senate and Chamber of Deputies will
meet in joint session to elect successor.
The most prominent name in connection
with the Presidency is that of Casimir-
Perrier, some time ago Prime Minister,
and now President of the Chamber OF
Deputies. That he is well qualified to
fill the position is conceded, but it is
scarcely believed he can be elected with
out a bitter struggle.

The Leader of the Indians Who MUIR
dered Two White Men Arrested.
PORT TOWNSEND, June 2.-The steam
ship City OF Topeka arrived from South
eastern Alaska to-day. The ringleader of
the band of Indians who killed two un-
known white men near Shakin, north of
Prince of Wales Island, was recently ar
rested and taken to Juneau for trial. Of
ficers assert that Indians threatened tho
posse, and they were unable to effect the
arrest of the others. United States Mar
shals made another effort to capture the
other Indians implicated in the murders.
News from Sitka states that warrant
is being issued for the arrest of e Russian
priest located near Unalaska for abduc-
ton. Alaska papers say the priest is adj
dicted to alcoholic indulgence. Some six
weeks ago he performed marriage cere-
mony, and afterward refused to allow the
bride to accompany her husband, saying
such conduct was inspired from heaven.

ELIZABETH HALLIDAY.
The Condemned Murderess Thought
to be Insane.

The Condemned Murderess Thought
to be Insane.
MONTICELLO On. ", June 24.-It is
said an application will be made to
Governor Flower for tho appointment of
a commission to examine into Elizabeth
Halliday's mental condition. and that
this will result in her being declared in
sane. In that case the Governor may
commute her sentence to one of impris-
onment for life, or she may be sent to an
asylum TO be cared for until she RECEIVERS,
and then put to death. Persons who
have studied her case believe she is both
abnormal and shaming at the same time:
that is to say, hers is such a low order of
intelligence as to give her great cunning,
while at the same time she is nearly q
lunatic.
How the Governor is to have her case
brought before his attention no one
ventures to predict. There is no move-
and the idea seems to be that the author
tiles at Auburn where she will probably
be sent will shrink from executing the
death penalty upon such an abnormal
and Insenslble creature. The only thing
that Mrs. Halliday has eaten since her
trial was small cup of soup to-day at
noon. She wearily removed her shoes
before retiring and dispensed with the
usual heavy blanket covering. At IL
P. NJ. she arose and took up position
over the foot of her bed, and, raising her
skirts, stood for two hours without NOV
ing. In the morning she insisted on the
left shoe on the right foot When the
County Physician, Williams, called on
her, she was in an ugly mood. She de-
clined to allow him to take her pulse, and
he left just as Lizzie kicked over the
chair.

FRANCE IN MOURNING.
Carnot Universally Beloved by the
Masses of France.

| Carnot Universally Beloved by the
Masses of France.
PARIS, June 25.-The first news on the
attempt of the life of President Carnot
was received in this city with many ex-
pressions of doubt, but when later dis
patches began to pour in describing in
detail the act of the assassination doubt
could no longer prevail. Then came a
brief dispatch announcing that M. Car
not was dead. To describe the various
emotions that filled the minds of the
| Parisans would be impossible. In many
| instances the officials who were seen by
| the representatives of the Associated
Press were too much overcome by the
suddenness of the disaster to express any
opinion as to the results that would fol-
| low the act Of assassination. Others, ex-
pressing the deepest regret at the death
of the President, were chary of giving
any publicity to their political opinions.
| But among the great class of the side
officials nothing but deep Indignation
and sorrow was heard.
In the cafes and everywhere men con-
gregated. Speculation was rife as to the
.
Many jumped to the conclusion that the
assassination was the act Of an anarchist,
but as a matter of fact nothing is posi-
lively known as yet as to the cause that
led to the murder. Many persons believe
that the crime was the work of crank
| whose enmity against Franch and her
President was kindled by the Prague
mortes riots, when many Italians were
killed, and who determined to wreak
vengeance upon France for the wrongs
done Italy.
Whatever the motive the act has
plunged the whole of France into the
deepest mourning. Aside from his po-
litical enemies, President Carnot was
universally beloved. His pure, upright
life endeared him to the masses Of the
people, and his honesty of purpose and
devotion was unquestioned.
| 1t is believed his funeral, which will be
an imposing state function. will be the
occasion of one of the greatest demonstra-
tions of popular love and respect that
France has seen in many years.
| Hon every side the deepest sympathy
| is expressed for Nine. Carnot, who
did so much socially to make her
husbands administration popular. She
was at the Palace of the Elysee, and when
the news was conveyed to her she at first
refused to believe it, asking why any one
could kill her husband. When the truth
of the dispatch was impressed upon her.
she became almost prostrated with grief.

ST. LOUIS. June N.-At an executive
session of the local branch of the Ameri-
can Railway Union held here to-day the
unions unpublished portions of the re-
cent proceedings of the union at Chicago
was detailed to the members present. 1t
consists of the plans made to assist tho
strikers at Pullman in their fight against
the Pullman Palace Car Company. The
next move will be the calling out of the
workmen in the shops at st. Louis and
Ludlow, Ky. After all the workmen are
out the switchn1en in the yards will re-
fuse to make up any trains with Pullman
cars. Trains will be made UP as usual,
but the switchmen will refuse absolutely
to handle Pullman car. This order will
be extended practically over the whole
country. Should the receivers manage to
get Pullman cars on any train, the crew
engineer, fireman, conductor and brake
man-will refuse to take out any train,
and should the company discharge any
switchmen for refusing to handle Pull
man cars every man belonging to the
union and employed on that road will be
called out within six hours. 1t was care
fully explained, however, that this fight
was not against the railroad companies,
and the hope was expressed that it would
not be necessary to call out the employees

FRlGHTFUL NINE ACCIDENT.
Two Hundred and Fifty People Killed
by an EXDIOSiOu.

CARDIFF (Wales), June PA dispatch
from Pontypridd, County of Glamorgan,
says a terrible explosion of fire-damp oc-
Cured yesterday afternoon in the Albion
colliery. Two hundred and fifty miners
were buried beneath the debris of the
mine.
The men who have volunteered to
search the colliery have been at work all
day, but no further rescues have been
effected. All hope for those still missing
has been abandoned. The number of
dead will, it is said, reach $50. 1t has
been aseertained that 267 men and boys
descended the shaft yesterday, and of this
number only seventeen have been saved.
A large number of bodies are buried be-
meath the earth, and it is impossible to
extricate them. Those not killed by the
explosion or crushed to death by the
falling earth and rock were undoubtedly
asphyXiated by the tire-damp. The
scene of the disaster has been visited by
thousands from the surrounding country.
LATER.-Late this evening the rescu-
ing parties succeeded in extricating q
large number of bodies. Thus far 142
bodies have been taken from the pit. a
telegram from the Queen says she was
much shocked, and expressed deep SYM
pathy with the families of the dead.

DENVER, June 4.-General Tarsney,

the hands of his enemies Saturday morn
ing, is resting easy. The Inflammation in
his case is greatly reduced, but he is still
anything but comfortable, and his body
has somewhat recovered from the stiff

long walk. The strain upon his nerves
was so great that he was nearly prostrated
when he found himself among friends,
but he has in great degree recovered
from the prostration. He is man of con-
siderable pride and spirit, and he suffers
from humiliation perhaps as much as
he does from physical pain. Not only
are his friends profuse III their manifesto
tions of sympathy, but the public gener-
ally deprecate the occurrence, and do not
hesitate TO give expression to their feel
ings. The General is about 30 years old,

complaint sworn to by William Dermott
charging him with embezzling $500
horse and buggy. Tne complaint was
promptly dismissed when the case was
called in the police cnurt yesterday. 1t
turns out that GarDier had rented the
rig for day to drive to his ranch in the
country. and had sent it back to the
city in charge of sheepherder.
Ths fellow very carelessly took the rig
to another stable instead of W. l.. Der

the sheepherder was appealed to by Gar
