VICTIMS OF THE FIRE.
An Impressive Service Held in Notre Dame
Saturday Noon.

Paris, May S.-A requiem mass for the
repose of the souls of the victims of the
fire at Charity Bazaar on Tuesday last was
celebrated with extreme solemnity at
noon today at Notre Dame.
The interior of the building was heavi-
ly draped with black, relieved with sill
yer embroideries and the main door way
was draped with a huge pail spangled
with silver edged ermine and raised on
either side by silver loops.
Above the doors were escutcheons with
the initials "R. F. Republique Fran
caise"
At an early hour the square in front of
the cathedral was densely packed with
people, An imposing catafalque covered
with flowers and erected in front of the
choir contained the remains of the
Confess de Jallin and Madame Julian.
Conspicuous among the floral tributes
were magnificent wreaths sent by the
Emperor and Empress of Germany and
the Russian colony of Paris. President
Faure occupied a raised platform on the
left of the choir and behind him were
ranged the families of the victims, the
members of the diplomatic corps and 9th
er notabilities.
Monseignor DeLesealle officiated at the
mass and Father Oliver preached the SER
mon, taking for his text the words,
life doing good. -
A majority of the large stores of Paris
were closed during the service at Notre
Dame.

WITHOUT WARNING,
Engine and Cars Plunged Down Into the
Stream.

Pueblo, Col, May Strain No. 6, linn
tied, on the Atchison, Topeka and Santa
Fe railway, which left Denver for Chica-
go at $50 last night, was wrecked about
2 O'Clock this morning at Mile Greek, just
east of Lamar, Col. The train was pro-
ceeding at its usual speed, when, with
out any warning, the engine, tender and
baggage car plunged into a treacherous
stream that had become swollen, evident
ly from a cloudburst. Fortunately for the
passengers the airbrakes closed down and
held the remainder of the train on the
track, which prevented terrible slaugh-
ter, as almost every seat in the train was
occupied.
Engineer Thomas Madison, whose home
is in La Junta, stuck to his post and
went down in the wreck, as did also a
number of tramps who were stealing a
ride on the baggage car Two of them
were probably curshed. Engineer Madi-
son was buried under his engine. A spec
ial train was Immediately dispatched from
La Junta, and is now at the wreck, do
ing everything possible for the unfortu-
nate victims. So far as known, no pas
sengers were injured.
Engineer Madison was found not to be
seriously hurt, and the Others are not
badly hurt

Washingtonian Meeting.

/. Gospel Mission hall was packed full last
ev ening with an attentive audience to
listen to Captain George H. Blake upon
the subject of temperance. Captain Blake
spoke with his old time eloquence and
power. His topic was self governing
laws. Why do two and two make four,
why will they not make five? Because
there is law of mathematics, absolute;
because it is a Divine law. Why do the
planets maintain certain regular orbits?
Because they are governed by a Divine
law Why are the formulas of chemistry
so fixed and absolute. Why do certain
crystals from themselves shape? Because
they are governed by Divine laws. Why
do we have certain fixed laws of the
mind? Because the Divine laws are i'm
planted in the human mind. In every
thing, sky, earth, man, we find these
laws of God scattered and it is the duty
of man to learn what they are and turn
them to his own service. Intemperance
is failure to maintain true law, and it
begets laws that are false laws. The habit
of doing wrong things begets a whole
brood of laws that control man,
weaken and debase his nature. Captain
Blake pointed out three sources of danger
to the young man. First heredity. The
seeds that come to us by birth; second,
discouragements, disappointments, loss
of business; third, social influence.
Captain Blake closed in an impressive
appeal to the young men and women to
quit drink habits, sign the pledge and
open up a new and glorious future of
noble manhood and womanhood.
At the close of the meeting ten persons
signed the pledge.
