Anarchists Tragic End.

PARIS, June 2S.-The tragic suicide Of
an Anarchist at Montpelier has thrown
more light on the fiendish plo, which led
70 CIrnOt's assassination.
Santo, the assassin, stopped at Mont
pelier on his way To Lyons to commit his
crime. Detectives last evening went 10
the house of a man named GranieT, sup
posed to be a possible aeo0mplice Of San
10. Granier was heard to remark on sun
day afternoon: by this time Carnot
must have received his quietus." As the
President was no; stabbed until late the
same evening, il was concluded that
Granier knew an attempt was 10 be made
on the life Of the President.
When the police burst in the door of
TRAINERS house and summoned him to
surrender, the Anarchist was seated at a
table eating his supper. He sPrangto his
feet and for moment stood m0tionless
with surprise.

Then with surprising swiftness and be-

Anarchist picked up long sharp knife

few swift turns Of the wrist disemb1wled
himself, falling 10 the floor, where he ex-
pired almost instantly.

lion last week. There were no eandi-
dafes struggling for nominations no
hopes Of a successful campaign, and no
diversity of sentiment, because spoiis

reigned and not knife left its sheath.
The previously selected candidates
were then formally nominated, resoiu-
ticIis approving aud endorsing every
thing in sight bearing the Label Of
Democracy and denouneing and damn
ing MeKinleyism and all its fruits,
past. present and TO come, were vocif-
eronsly adopted, and the great and gio-
rious and harmonious Democratic con
venfion came to an end.
Ii would he a waste Of time and Of
words to point out the inconsistencies
and aI,surdiIies Of the platform, no one
anticipating consistency and honesty
from such a source. Suffice il TO say
that a Democratic ticket has been NOM

G. Parsons, owner OF the Natural Bridge
property, was shot and killed this morn
ing, at o'clock, at Gladys Inn, Clifton
Forge. by Captain F. \. Goodman, a con-
ductor on the CheSapeak and Ohio Rail

Captain Goodman met in the lobby Of
the inn.
Goodman walked up To Parsons and
asked him if he was the author Of certain
anonymous letters written 70 CheSapeak
and Ohio officials making complaint
against himself Parsons promptly re-
piled that he was, and Captain Goodman
drew his revolver and began firing. Five
chambers Of his revolver were emptied,
and four bullets took effect.

collar bone, one on right and one on left
side OF the abdomen, and one on the left

PHENIxv1LLE. Pa. Jaiy Ia small
boy playing the par1 Of the fox in an ex-
citing chase ON the Cedar Hollow hills
narrowly escaped being torn 10 pieces by
George Fulmer's pack Of hounds The
dogs had not enjoyed a-rnn for weeks and
Mr.. Tulmer decided 10 give them = little
exercise. Taking bag ftom the box in
which he keeps several foxes. and which
the Reynards slept upon, he gave il te
John Rsmho. He told the lad 10 drag
the heavily-scenfed bag across the hills.
and he would turn loose the hounds. The
boy had long start and had disappeared
beyond the brow Of a distant knoll when
Fulmer released the eager dogs. Around
they eircled until one Of them struck the
trail, and then away they dashed in pur-
suit Of the bogus fox.
Instantly great fear seized the hunter.
1t dawned npon him that If the hounds
overlook the lad they would tear him 10
pieces. Without longer hesitating. he
rushed 70 the stable. bridled horse and
galloped i'm pursuit OF the having hounds
They had good start, and Fulmer knew
that the boys life depended upon wheth-
er the hounds or the horseman reached
him first. In no real fox chase did the
veteran hunter ever ride more ftIriOusly.
1t was a long. hard gallop, but he had
told the boy where 10 drag the bag, and
by short cut reached him ahead Of the
hounds.
The dogs were close upon him and run
ming madly. Fulmer seized the aston
ished boy and lifted him upon the horse
beyond the reach of the hounds, which
he could even then hardly prevent from
tearing young Rambo to pieces.
