A generation later the prosperity Of

preserving industry no doubt suffered
with the other industries of its citizens.
Provins had mayor of ssch oppres-

he ventured 10 ring the great curfew
bell. which ended the working day, an
hour later than had been customary.
This the work-people would not en-
dure. They mobbed the unpopular
magistrate, and killed him in his own
house. They did not stop 70 consider
the possible consequence of such an
act. The line of the counts of Cham
pagne had become extinct, but Blanche.
the widow of the last one, had married
Edmund Crouehbacll, first earl OF Lam
caster, who promptly undertook to
punish the unrlly inha bitants.
He made such havoc that the town
never recovered from ii, and had even

and named Guillonette, in honor of the
murdered mayor. Guillaume. This
bell. after six centuries. still rings the
curfew in Provins every night. When
Edmund went back 10 England. leav-

Dean Stanley, two relics.

WRECK OF the keARsARee.
4 Terrible Nioht-Hsr Famous Guns and
Masts Sent Overheard.

NEW YORK, Feb. "a special cable to
the Herald from Colon gives the following
particulars Of the wrecking Of the war ship
Kearsarge The Kearsarge was under both
sail and steam at the time she was wrecked
AMI was going about ten knots an hour.
A heavy sea was running, and as the char
acter of the keys in these waters were we'll
known to the Kearsarge's officisls, il was
evident that safety lay in forcing her 40 far
upon the key a. possible before she began
to break up. Accordingly she vas at once
lightened by heaving her guns overheard.
One of the first to go was her splendid
old ll.inch after-pivot, the gun that did
such terrible execution on the Alabama in
their famous fight Of 1864. Next the masts
were cut away, not only to tighten her, but
also to provide material for construct ng
RATS. 1t would have been madness to have
made landing in such sea in the intense
darkness Of . tropical night, and therefore
there was nothing else to do but to wait un-
til morning.
A terrible night was passed, the waves
pounding heavily over the stern and
weather aides as the vessel swung more
and more broadside. On Saturday
morning, Feb. Sd, line was got
ashore, and all hands we're finally
landed safe on the key. Owing to the
manner in which the waves had swept the
decks and filed the holds, onlya little fresh
water and small quantity of provisions
could be saved. Three boats were got
ashore and were but slightly injured.
Al there is almost no water on the reef
and about 200 men were camped there with
a tiifing supply, one of the boats was i'm
medistely put In order to 60 to Old Provi-
dence for relief. Lieut.. +. II. Brainard
and Naval Cadet T. l.. Stitt, with picked
crew of volunteers, left the key. On reach
ing Old Providence and finding there moth
ing capable of taking off the shipwrecked
crew. they came on to Colon for assistance.
When they left Roncador key the Kear-
sarge was fast breaking up.

MEEDEN At FAULT.
The Electrician Fainted When Respons ibiliiy
Seemed to Press on His Shoulders.

FALL RIVER, Mass, Feb. 6.-An inquest
was held before Judge McDonough this af-
ternoon, to learn the causes of the accident
at the Br0wnell street crossing, January
3lst, by which Brooks Borden, Orson Swift
and Reynard Thornton lost their lives.
Electrician H. S. Weeden said that he was
notified that the electrical apparatus in Con-
nelly's shanty was out of order. He in
tended to look after it, but had a more i'm
portant job at Middleboro, where there was
trouble with the Telegraph, commanding
prompt attention, according to railroad
rules. Before leaving for Middleboro he
learned by testing that the trouble was not
in the battery there, but did not bother to
see if the difficulty was in the track bat
teries or relay.
Col Spencer Borden is an expert in elec-
tricity, and that fact, coupled with his
earnestness in asking the witness practical
questions that seemed to fix the response
bility on Weeden, caused the latter to grow
very much frightened. One question, pre-
ceded by the remark to the effect that they
were at last getting some light on the cause
of the accident, caused Weeden to faint
The medical examiner revived him and he
resumed his testimony after an interval of
FIVE minutes.
He said he did not have time to fix the
grade crossing gong because his telegraph
work had to be attended to first. Next
morning he found the trouble and fixed it
in about 10 minutes. ..~ eH.s
Other testimony was offered. Judge
NcDonough reserved his decision. 1t is
generally agreed that all the responsibility
will be placed on the railroad corporation
and indirectly upon Electrician Weeden.
After the hearing Messrs. Swift, Borden.
Clark. Chase and Thornton, whose childrt n
we're killed or injured, went to Crossing

PANIckY WHEAT MARKEr.
February wheat Reached Lowest Price on
Record at New York.

New YORK, Feb. 9.-February wheat to-
day touched the lowest prices on record.
For a time there was great excitement at
the Produce Exchange. MAY wheat option
close of 65 5-S, or about at bottom. Yes.
terday's close for this option was G7 Ia.
Other options were similarly affected. Corn
and oats were easy and did not sympsthize
with the panicky condition Of wheat.
The liquidation in wheat amounted to q
tremendous total. One of the influences in
causing the break were the rnmors reflect
ing upon the condition of the wheat held in
store in New York and Chicago.
