Who ever knew of season so
backward that few of our gardens
even, were plowed before May 10th.
Strange sights are seen by STAR
light on one, at least, of our back
streets. Saturday evening, at an
early hour, a covered carriage drawn
by Il pair of fine appearing nags
stopped abruptly, directly in front of
your correspondents window and
two individlals-apparently lady
and a gentlcman-alighted, took Il
basket or bag from the vehicle and
scaling the fence upon the lower side
Of the highway disappeared. Two
other individuals remained in the
seat. Some fifteen minutes later the
pair first mentioned reappeared and
proceeded to empty the basket upon
the carriage floor, producing sound
as of the overturning of large pebble
stones or small rocks. Then con-
sutation cnsucd, after which the
team was faced about and slowly
disappeared, going in the direction
of the village. The lady and gen
tleman, who had otficiatcd as stone
gathcrcrs, then covered their persons
with long dark cloaks and arm in
arm walked very slowly in the same
direction, but returned Il little later
and repassed going toward Wood
stock. Query, what disposition was
to be made with the stones thus OBJ
tanned under cover of nightfall in so
mysterious Il manner:
AT an annual competitive exami-
nation of studies at the State Normal

competitors, there being sixteen UNI
successful scholars. Her record
was IS per cent.
Harry Hudson is in South Royal
ton with five of Parker and Lindscv's
horses which he will train there.

feated the local nine 20 tola last

The great improvement made in
this line of goods during the past

used.
The safety and economy of their
use is apparent, there being no
smell, no SCOT, smoke or explosives.
For cooking they excel all kinds
of summer stoves. having uniform

from oil or gasoline, The degree of
heat can be controlled without
trouble, and the stove left to do its
work with perfect safety.
These stoves can be seen at the

A PRESIDENTIAL CRISIS.
French Socialists May Compel
Faure to ReSign-The ConSti-
tutiOnal Question.

Paris, April 24.-President Faure con-
ferred with NM. Loubet, Brisson, Pey-
trail and Poincare today. He will re-
ceive NM. Bourgeois, Sarrien, Leroyer
and Meline this afternoon.
The newspapers agreed that yester~
days vote in the Chamber of Deputies
has brought the constitutional crisis to
an acute stage and the majority of the
papers anticipate dissolution of the
chamber. This course is favored by
many of the senators.
According to the Gaulois, the new pre-
mier, whoever he may be- will appear in
the chamber with dissolution decree in
his pocket. The Gaulois adds: LAS a
result of the experiment with Radical
cabinet, President Faure has resolved to
take a determined stand upon cOnstitu-
tional ground and will pursue a line of
conduct in opposition to Socialist ran
cor"
The Socialists regard the proceedings
in the chamber in the light of a victory
tIonal assembly.
The Conservatives predict a presiden-
tial crisis.
The Senate today unanimously adopted
the credits asked for MAZDA gascar.
NJ. Angles then submitted a proposal
for revision of the constitution and de-
manded urgency on the question. The
proposition was rejected by a vote of
pa to 80 and the Senate adjourned until
FFUpSG1V
Watertown republican. [volume] (Watertown, Wis.) 1860-1906, 1896-04-29

withdrew. According to the newspa-
pers here President Faure has declined
to countersign the bill providing for the
revision of the constitution which the
premier, NJ. Bourgeois, wished to submit
to the Chamber of Deputies when that
body reassembled today as a result of
the special summons following the act
of the Senate in poStpOning the vote on
the Madagascar credits.
1t is added that in view of the Presi-
dents refusal to sign this bill the mem
bers of the Radical Left party have
decided to introduce a motion denying
the Senate the right to be the sole inter-
prefer of the constitution and demand
ing that a meeting of the national AS
sembly be called to decide the question in
dispute.
NJ. Bourgeois. in announcing the resig
nation of the ministry, read a statement
contesting the right of the Senate to
overthrow ministry or to be the sole in
terpreter of the constitution, but, he
added, in view of the impossibility of Sc
curing proper military reliefs for NADIA
gascar, the cabinet was compelled to re-
sign.
The premier was frequently interrupt
ed with cries from the extreme left of
Down with the Senate" and when the
ministers filed out Of the house there was
loud applause from the right and center,
to which the left replied with loud cries
of Turn cut the Senatep' Down with
the Senate
a scene of prolonged tumult followed.

CRIPPLE CREEK IN RUINS.
Several Squares Burned Involving
Money Loss of
100000.

Cripple Creek, Col, April 27.-One
million dollars is a conservative estimate
of the damage dore by fire here Satur-
day. The amount of insurance, as near
ly as can be arrived at, will not exceed
$250.000. When the fire broke out in
a secondhand store the danger of big
cOnhagratiOn was not perceived and 1t
was thought that the fremen, who were
early on the scene, would have the flames
under control in q very few minutes.
But in a short time the fire had spread
to the adjoining buildings and a brisk
wind sprung up. Then it was conceded
by all that at least a half dozen buildings
on the corner of Meyers and Third streets
would go, and the occupants began to
move out. But many had waited teo
long and were unable to save their goods.
Some barely escaped with their lives.
Several women were dangerously burned.
Every minute added fury to the flames,
and when the fire had spread several
doors on either side the danger to the
city was observed. but no one could real
ize how great the damage would be.
The heat, became so intense that build
ingS on the north side of Meyers street
took fire. Then it was that occupants
of stores and offices began to make prep
aratiOns to save their possessions. Ev-
cry wagon in town was pressed into serv-
ice. Not a tenth part of the goods were
saved.
By the time the postoffice had caught
it became evident that the only way to
stop the progress of the fire was to blow
up the building with dynamite. This
was done under the supervision of rhe
fremen, and a number of buildings had
to be sacrificed before the fire had
reached them. The fire started about
1 O'Clock, and by 4 it had demolished the
blocks in Meyers between Third and
Fifth streets. and in Bennett between
Third and Fifth streets, stopping just
this side of the New Midland depot.
Nearly all the buildings between Third
and Fifth streets in Eaton were de
stroyed. Many people lost everything
they had
The property in Meyers street was
occupied in the most part by saloons:
The two variety theaters, Topic and
Hollangs. were there, and innumerable
dance halls Grace Clifton was badly
burned about the face and hands. j:
Anderson, while placing charge of
dynamite under the Sisters hospital to
blow it up. had a leg torn off by 4 pre-
mature explosion. The postotfice in Ben
net avenue is total wreck, only the
vault standing. Twenty thousand let
tiers and thousands of packages were
destroyed.

ures designed to appeal to boys. The
Fireside Companion he started in 1861.
and ten years later issued the first num-
Der of the Seaside Library.

water street was destroyed by fire in
July, 1888, together with millions of
books, but was promptly replaced.

the free Church academy in Halifax,
and since 1880 has provided $4,000 d

SWEPT BY A CYCLONE.

Heart-Rending Tales of Suffering Many
Seriously Injured.

Topeka, Kas., April 27.-Eight per-
sons. at least, were killed outright, three
fatally and seventeen more or less in
iured, and great destruction of property
was wrought by a cyclone which passed
over Clay county Saturday night.
The dead are

ENTIRE FAMILY OF JOHN NORRIS;
badly mangled
more or less injured
The cyclone took the people unawares,
and, SO far as learned. most OF them had
retired. The storm struck Peter Ander-
sons house at 9:30 O'Clock. This was
about a mile from the starting point
The house was demolished in an instant
Every member of the Anderson family
was injured. When they had extricated
themselves from the debris they discov-
cred that Anderson's grandchild was
missing. It's dead body was found this
morning half mile away IN q ravlne:
Anderson alarmed the neighbors who
lived out of the track of the storm and
search was commenced for victims.
Couriers were sent to Clifton and Nor
ganville for doctors. but it was daylight
before they arrived, and the extent of
the injury and damages were known.
At noon today it was thought all the vic
tins had been found. A large number
of cattle and horses were killed and
fruit in the storms track was ruined. 1t
is impossible at this time to estimate the
damage to buildings and other property.
Heart-rending tales of suffering are
told by citizens who visited the scenes of
the storm. Many Of the injured lay all
night pinned down by wreckage, and
others crawled or hobbled across the
country to neighbors' homes. In several
instances people were lifted into the air
by the cyclone and carried some distance
and then suddenly dropped. Buildings
were lifted 10 and then hurled to the
ground with force enough to demolish
them The wife and daughter of John
Morris were reading when the shock
came The women managed to get out,
when the wind picked them up carried
them 200 yards and dropped them safely
down on a straw pile just away from
the storms track.
