GRAND CROSS FOR
DUCHESNE,
By Cable to the United Press.

PARIS. Oct. 10, 1S95.-General Du-
chesne has Informed the War Once
by telegraph that Antananarivo was &C.
cupied by the French expedition under
his command after a brilliant action.
President Faure has responded to the
telegram by appointing General Du-
chesne a Grand Ohicer of the Legion Of
Honor.
The Government will strike a NADIA
gascar medal for the troops who took
part in the campaign against the Hovas.
President Faure has also wired an
enthusiastic message of congratulation
and thanks to General Duchesne, COM
manding the French expeditionary army
in Madagascar.
The War Office has received a despatch
g. stating that Antananariyo, the capital
of Madagascar, was taken by the French
troops on September 30. The despatch
further says that the Queen of Madagas-
General Metzinger has been nominated
as Governor of Antandnarivo.
The "Autorite" mentions rumorS which
it says are traceable to the War Office,
where dispatches from Antananarivo are
being withheld from the public, to the
effect that General Duchesne, command
ing the French expedition in Madagascar,
was compelled to treat with the Hova
ing arrived before the capital totally
without provisions and having learned
that the natives would burn the city
and ravage the country if the French
did not come to terms.
The cond, ,tions of peace between
France and Madagascar provide for a
vigorous French protectorate and the
banishment of the Queens husband.

chinese CRUELTY.
Pleasant Features Of the Muir
der Investigation at Ku
Cheng : Mandarin
Obstinate.

LONDON. Oct. 10, 1S95.-The "Pall Mall
Gazette" publishes a second letter from
its correspondent in Kucheng detailing
the difficulties attending communication
with Foo-Chow and describing the trial
of prisoner implicated in the outrages
upon missionaries. When the Court is
ready, the writer says, the accused man
is brought in handcuffed, he is filthy in
appearance and has the wild and ghast-
ly look of starved man, which he
really is. The prisoner opens the pro-
ceedings by swearing that he was no.
where near the scene of the massacre
and then torture begins. The man is first
compelled to kneel with his bare knees
upon coil of chain. His head is drag
ged back and his pigtail is fastened to a
rack high above his head A pole is
then thrust across his legs and two sol
diers stand on each end of it, crushing
the poor wretches knees into the coil
of chain.
The British Consul could not stand this
method OF extracting testimony and in
sisted that it be stopped. This was done
as far as the proceedings in the court
room We're concerned. but for an hour
afterwards the shrieks of tormented
prisoners could be heard coming from an
adjacent room, where the torture was
continued.
When the magistrate wanted to hear
the confession of a tortured man the
prisoner was brought back into the
court room. If he held back his con-
fession he was threatened with resump-
ton of his torture. This was usually
sufficient to cause the prisoner to tell all
he knew rather than return to the tor
ture chamber
Besides the torture described the pris-
oners were beaten with bamboo sticks
until their yells were most horrible to
prisoner 4Dnp4r6d
court room unable to walk from the
beating he had received, and another
was unable to kneel because his knees
had been broken by the chain links and
his thighs had been lacerated by the
strokes of the bamboo rods. In the
midst of such misery, cakes, fruits, tea
and wines We're served and partaken of
by the native officials, who could not
understand why the foreigners present
pushed these delicacies aside, refusing to
touch them.
The correspondent declares that the
powers ought to demand justice without
torture, reaching the mandarin as
promptly as the man who works in the
field. The whole business, he says, lies
at the door of corrupt officials.
A despatch from Shanghai says that
Admiral Baller, commanding the British
fleet, will return to Foo Chow on board
the despatch boat Alacrity today, the
Viceroy having assumed an attitude of
defiance.

The worst hunting accident recorded in
this vicinity in years happened in Foxon
this morning and as result one victim
lies dead near the scene of the accident,
and another is in the hospital seriously,
if not critically, injured. About six
o'clock this morning Doninick Braun, a
bother, and Robert CirilIo, a barber, set
out for East Haven. Both carried light
weight shot guns They had gone but q
short distance from the Grannis farm
when they came to fence. The un-
derbrush is rather thick, but Braun
carelessly attempted to pull his gun
through after him. He was seriously
wounded and Cirillo was killed.
J. W. Grannis of East Haven heard
the firing and rushed to the spot. He
perceived that the accident was of an
alarming nature and summoned James
Healy. Braun was lifted into wagon.
wrapped in a blanket, and taken to the
hospital. There an examination was
made of his wounds, and it was found
that they consisted of bullet wounds in
his right chest, by bird shot, and it is
thought that none of them penetrated
the chest cavity. Braun may recover
He was suffering intensely this noon,
OUT was CONSCIOUS anu IuSuc
ment of the accident. He said that he
pulled the gun through the fence after
him. and that the trigger caught and
the weapon was discharged.
The shot struck him in the chest, as
narrated Cirillo, Braun says, became
excited at the accident and rushed for
the gun, instead of toward Braun. He
seized it and made another attempt to
cident was repeated, the second barrel
was discharged, and Cirillo received the
volley in a vital spot. The facts of the
accident were reported to Captain
'Keefe of the Grand avenue precinct
this morning, who promptly placed them
at the disposal of Coroner Mix, who de-
spatched Medical Examiner Gustavius
Elliott of this city on the case.
Braun is SO years old and has a wife
and three children. He resides at No.

USES OF TIE WHIsK BROOM.

Every good housewife should count a
whisk broom among the important fur
nishings of her home. 1t is so useful in
removing dust from the corners and Gre
vices of floors that well-eonstituted
household can scarcely do without it,
The continual daily sweeping which SO
many American housewives consider
necessary for absolute cleanliness y not
only wears out the carpets and rugs, but
creates a great deal of dust.
The daily use of the whisk broom and

are constantly used, will be. found in
valuable. The Old adage of a new
broom sweeps clean but an old broom
knows the corners best is. indeed. true.

that it is twice as effective servant as
