ATLANTIC CITY. N. j., Aug. s.-The number of
bathers to-day was extraordinarily largo, and as
a natural consequence the life guards were
kept busy. A party Of young mon from Phila-
delphia started to win around the pier. They
were Morris Fitzsimmons, q ~cottager on South
Connecticut avenue, John d. Serrill. and two
others.
The four at first made rapid Roadway. but
they had not calculated on tho strong current,
and when they had neatly reached the end Of the
pier Ftzsimmons and Serrill became exhausted.
Their companions were some distance ahead Of
them and did not hear their cries for help.
Guards Davis and Mills started to their as
~sistance and reached them just as the two men
had given up hope. The exhausted swimmers
were pulled into tho lifeboat and brought
ashore. 1t was some time before they recovered.
They are both expert swimmers.
Guards Loder. Jeffries, Curriden. and slavin.
who are stationed at the foot of Missouri ave-
nue., brought in q boat load Of seven bathers at
ono time. Their attention was first called to a
family trio consisting of James Daley. wife.

Alexander II. and Caruot Killed on sundays-

Sunday seems TO be q favorite day for political
assassinations in Europe. The death of Canovas
on this day recalls the long list Of rulers who
have either met death or but narrowly escaped
it on tho Sabbath at the hands Of Anarchists,
Communists, or Nihilists.
The fact that in the Old World Sunday 10 the
great festival day. when the rulers 60 around
and give their subjects an opportunity to look
upon and get near them, Is perhaps a sufficient
explanation.
Although sixteen years have passed, tho world
still wildly remembers the assassination by the
Nihilists Of Alexander H.. the Russian Gar.
He was returning to his palace on the afternoon
Of Sunday, March 10. 1881, when a dynamite
bomb was thrown at his carriage. The carriage
was blown to pieces. and Alexander died within
a few hours.
President Carnot OF France was at Lyons at
tending an industrial and art exhibition on
Sunday, June "a, 1894. That night, as he drove
to a theatre, .Cesare Giovanni Sarilo, a young
Italian Anarchist, sprang upon the step OF the
Presidents carriage and plunged q knife into
his abdomen, Carnot died within a few hours.
Sunday, June ID last. He was driving on the
Bots de Boulogne to witness the Grand Prix at
the Longchamps race course, when q bomb was
exploded near his carriage. 1t was of faulty
construction and hurt no one.
Two attempts have been made on the life Of
King Humbert of Italy on Sundays. On Sunday.
March Il; 1878. Giovanni Pasanante climbed
and stabbed him in the thigh with a sword.
The King fought back. cut his assailant on tho

He is quoted as having, said that Spain would
