ROCHEFORT'S RETURN.
The Paris Mob Turns Out to Welcome tn
Exile.

By the United Press.
Paris, Feb. 3.-All military and Off
cial Paris attended today the funeral
of Marshal CanrObert. The ceremonies
were the same as at the state funeral
of Marshal McMahon, almost year
and half ago1 but the crowds in the
streets were smaller and the signs of
mourning less numerous among the
people.
The crowd that came out to see the
last honors paid to the last marshal
of France was much smaller than the
gathering at the railway station where
Henry Rochefort was welcomed home
from his years of exile in England.
The whole Paris mob seemed packed
in the open square. In 1t were all the
socialist deputies and the socialist
revolutionary societies had brought out
their last man, and stood in solid
phalanx close to the station entrance.
1t is estimated that 100000 persons
stood in the streets while thousands
more looked down from windows and
roofs. The speeches of welcome and
replies lasted more than an hour, dur
ing which the throng cheered incessant-
ly. The enthusiasm surpassed any
thing seen here since the Russian naval
officers departed, but there was no dis
order and no arrests.

Harrisburg, Pa, Feb. 3.-Although
the last week of January was fairly
busy one, the month was unsatisfactory
to iron and steel manufacturers in this
vicinity. February prospects showed
an Improvement within the week and
everybody is looking for an increase Of
demand this month. 1t is probable
that March will see an improved stu

ordered supplies of pig iron from the
Virginia furnaces for 1895 at prices con-
siderably below those of Pennsylvania

piled with work. Every plant in the

out for Survivors of the IIl.Fated Ship.
By the United Press.
Chicago. Feb. 3.-At 10 o'clock this
morning an object 10 feet high and 25O
feet long, resembling the hull of the ill
fated Chicora, was discovered off South
Chicago lying between two large ice
foes. The hull was floating south, and
the life saving crew were dispatched to
follow it along the Indiana shore. Tugs
We're also sent from Chicago. At $50 p.
m. Agent Van Sickle, of the Baltimore
and Ohio railroad, at Whiting, Ind,
saw the hull float by two miles from
shore. Besides the hull was raft on
which fifteen or twenty men could be
seen.
1t is believed that the reason why the
boats have not returned or reported is
that they are at work and have sue
ceeded in getting tug boat started
through the ice.
The relief train sent out over the
Baltimore and Ohio returned to South
Chicago. They located the wreck about
two miles off Whiting, Ind, where it
iisio pctH SlIlCc y. ILL., Twins
to the darkness it is impossible to make
any attempt to reach the wreck from
shore, but two boats which had gone
from Chicago, probably the Calumet
and steamer Ludington, We're fighting
their way through the ice from the out
side toward the wreck. If they sue
ceed in reaching it tonight and rescuing
any survivors, they will probably re-
turn to Chicago, as all other harbors
are closed with ice.
Chicago, Feb. 4.-The tugs have re-
turned without finding the Chicora.
Benton Harbor, Mich, Feb. 3.-When
the report that the huh of the Chdcora
had been discovered off South Chicago
reached here there was much excite
ment. Men ran through the streets to
make known the glad tidings and hun
dreds soon gathered around the Gra-
ham & Morton company's Office and
every place where the informatio
could be obtained regarding the vessel.
Meetings that We're being held through
out the cities were soon closed for want
Of congregations, and the streets were
crowded with people. A special train
was at once arranged for by the Gra-
ham & Morton company to go to Whit
ing, but the order was countermanded
upon receipt of the news that the tugs
had found nothing of the Chicora' s
hull.

GOff.

GOff.
By the United Press.
Millville, N. j., Feb. 3.-IIiram Jones,
who Is well-known resident of this
city, suddenly developed homicidal
madness last night and made savage
attack with an axe upon Daniel Goff.
q well-to-do brick manufacturer, who
lived with Jones in his handsome resi-
dence on Broad street.
Goff and his wife were sitting quiet
ly reading when Jones stole into the
room, and, without any warning, struck
Mr.. Goff on the head with the axe, fell
ing him to the floor. Before Mrs. Goff
could go to her husbands assistance
Jones struck the PROSTATE man twice
again on the head. Mrs. Goff sprang
upon the infuriated madman and clung
to him until her husband struggled to
his feet and then Jones broke away
and fled from the house Later he re-
turned and was put under restraint.
For some time past Jones has been
developing softening of the brain, but
he gave no indications Of becoming a
furious maniac. He was taken to the
asylum at Trenton today. While Mr..
Goff's injuries are serious, they will
probably not prove fatal.
