cessor 10 the late President is in office.
Mime. Carnot, accompanied by her
two sons, arrived al Lyons at o'clock
this morning. The widow was respect
fully greeted by a large crowd of peo-
pie assembled about the railroad depot.
She proceeded, Immediately, TO the Pre-
lecture, where the body OF the late presi-

One of the dead mans sons, when he

ONLY AT WHITE POLES.

There was lots of sputtering all along
the line of street cars this morning by the
regular and transient customers OF the
line, as it is the first day which the cars
stop at the "white poles" only.
Those who were in the habit OF stopping
a car with wave of the hand or an
umbrella, could not understand why the
moterman did not stop as was the usual
custom, and as the would-be passenger
was told, or by pantomimic signs re-
quested to go the "white pole" 1t
was then that language OF all styles.
classes, and nationalities could be heard.
Many OF the regulars "got left,7 and just
for what reason they did not know, until
they were "picked up' by later car. 1t
will be some time before the residents OF
the city become accustomed to this
new departure, for it is "a we'll known
fact that the motormen and
conductors of this company are as oblig-
ing as those on any road in the country,
and it is to be hoped that none will blame
them for the sseming oversight on their
part. In the future the cars stop only at
the white poles.

At OBS o'clock last night President Car
not started for the theater, where gala
performance was to be given because OF
his presence Ia the city. Several car
riages were in the procession, the first
one being occupied by the president. Mr..
Carnot's carriage was driven slowly along
in front OF tho Palais OF Commerce, and
then turned into Rue de In N'-pu blique.
When half down the street, winch was
lined with enthusiastic crowds of people
who were loudly cheering, man rushed
out of the crowd and sprang upon the
step of the presidents landau.
just at this moment, NJ. Carnot was
waving his right hand and saluting with
his hat is his left hand in response TO the
ovation that was being given TO him by
the crowd.
The people close 10 the carriage saw
that the man standing on the step had a
knife in his hand. BY the glare OF the
electric lights, they saw the bright blade
CLEAN in the air as the assassin's arm de-
scended. and then President Carnot was
seen TO fan back in his seat, his face
deathly pale.
Almost Lynching.
NJ. Rivaad, who was seated by Mr. Car
not, Immediately struck the assassin a
blow full in The face and Knocked him
from the step. Instantly cries OF lie

DEATH LIST BIG.


NEW YORK, June 25.--The list of
drowned and missing from the sinking of
the tug, james ID. Nichol, off Sandy Hook
Yesterday afternoon still continues to
swell. Seven bodies have now been found
and 36 names are on the missing list.
IL will probably never be known just
how many persons were on board the
il-fatcd tug at the time of the acci-
dent. Few of the passengers were ac-
Quainted with each other and the only
way i'm which the names OF the lost cen be
obtained Is from the applications OF
their friends and relatives for infor-
nation at police headquarters. The pas
scngcrs come from all over the east
side, from College Point, from Brooklyn
and even from Hobokon, ana il is probable
that some of those drowned will never be
reported or heard from again.

The Original Wedding Cake.

Our wedding cake is the remains of a
custom whereby Roman bride held in
her left hand three wheat ears, and many
centuries later an English bride wore on
her head a chaplet of wheat. The at
tendant girls threw corn, either in grains
or in small bits of biscuit or cake, upon
the heads of the newly married couple,
and the guests picked up the pieces and
ate them. Such was the beginning of
the wedding cake, which did not come
into general use until the eighteenth
century and was then composed of solid
blocks, laid together and iced all over
with sugar, SO that when the outer crust
was broken over the brides head the
cakes inside fell on the floor, and they
were then distributed among the COM
pany.-New York Sun.
