the bicyclist unnjured, but thought he had best take the names of the occupants of the trap for precaution's sake.
 q beg your pardon, miss," he said, "but I would like to have your name"
 Miss Ehrman-is he hurt bad?' gasped the fair driver, looking as if she would faint. "It was an accident, I assure you.
 "Yes; I know it was, miss," replied the polite officer.
 Let's go home," was heard from one of the girls, and with this the two drove on down the street.
 The news of the accident spread rapidly among the young society men of the city and before long it is said that the two young ladies were fairly beseged with of- fers from young lawyers of Birmingham asking to be permitted to defend them in the inferior criminal court this morning when their case comes up for trial.
 But Officer Mcknight knew that it would have been useless to arrest such fair law breakers as these, and he did not do so for what could Judge Feagin have done be- fore four such eyes had their possessors been brought into court for trial?

DOUBLE HANGING
 OF MURDERERS Justice Meted Out to Geo. Jacks and John Druggan. STRANGE VIEW OF RELIGION Jacks Said He Did Not Desire a Preacher to Accompany Him to
 Sc fold, But He Soon
 Weakened.
STRANGE VIEW OF RELIGION

a Chicago October H.-Geo. H. Jacks, for merly chief of police at Muskegon, Mich., and John Druggan, both convicted mur- derers, were hanged on the same scaffold in the county jail this afternoon. Some time before the hanging Jacks sent the fol- lowing letter to the jaier:
 "Mr. Whitman-My Dear Sir: Please do not let any of the clergy in to see me. If I, an innocent man, be hanged today, with out the right to have the highest court in the land pass upon my case, which Is all prepared at great expense to myself and labor to my friends, if l am refused this right, which every man is entitled to, there certainly can be no God above us, and Tn that case the clergy can do no good. so please do not allow any one to see me- Yours, "GEORGE H. JACKS.
 This request was complied with.
 Jacks was convicted of the murder of Andrew J. McGhee, an aged collector ana solicitor whom Jacks, assisted by William J. Willows, now serving fourteen years for complicity in the crime, decoyed into an apartment house on Indiana avenue for the purpose of robbery.
 Jacks had a long criminal record. When chief of police of the Michigan town he also held the position of deputy United States marshal, and was a member of the nre de- partment. While holding these official po- sitions he committed a long series or Dur- glaries for which he was finally convicted and sentenced to the Michigan penitentiary for four years. Upon his release he came to Chicago and returned to his old mode of living. Jacks was out on bond for bur glary when he was arrested on the charge of murder.
 Druggan was convicted of the murder Of Robert Gudgeon, a saloon keeper, whom he attempted to rob.
 f Druggan was brought in first. The trap was sprung, and in seventeen minutes he was pronounced dead His body was then cut down, the trap replaced and Jacks was brought in. In fourteen minutes his heart ceased to beat.
 Both died of stranguation. Neither man had anything to say on the scaffold. Jacks prayed constantly while the moose and shroud were being adjusted.
 Just before going to the scaffold Jacks, notwithstanding his remarkable letter, con- scented to be accompanied by priest. On the way to the scaffod Jacks repeated aloud after the priest the prayers which the priest voiced Jacks was very much agitated.
 Druggan who consented a day or two E ago to accept an offer of priestly benedic- ,tion, was comparatively composed Un- like Jacks, he did not pray aloud, content ing himself with ferventy kissing a cruci- fix at the last moment held to his lips.
 "Oh Lord. have mercy upon my soul, were the last words of Jacks.

Heroic Charge of the Khalifa's Son

From the New York Journal.
 The war correspondents who saw the battle at Omdurman agree that the finest display of individual heroism was made by the khalifa's son, the famous Emir Yakub. Never did man show more supreme con- tempt for death. He rode at the head of a thick dark crowd of horsemen and repeat edly tried to get to close quarters. Over and over again these horsemen galoped straight at the English line, wheeled round and thundered along its face, raising dense clounds of dust as they went and leaving a trail of dead and dying men. At one mo- ment a merciless rifle fire poured into their flank and rear, but they stopped, and scorn- ing to get out of range, gathered in dense mass round Yakub's standard and proudly faced the rain of lead. A great body of white clad footmen, screaming hoarsely the name of Allah and brandishing huge spears, ran at full speed across the open ground for no other purpose apparently than to die with their leader. Rifle and Maxim fire and shell from field guns swept through the mass and moved them down, and not one man out of ten reached Yakubs standard. There they stood with the few surviving horsemen still shouting fierce defiance until not one man was left standing.

FAIR LAWBREAKERS.
Two of Birmingham's Society Bellies
 Narrowly Missed Arrest.

Birmingham society enjoyed a little sem sation yesterday over the threatened ar rest of two of its most beautiful and pop uar society belles for driving over a man on bicycle. The results were not serious, however, and all is again serene. r These two charming young ladies, Miss Helen Ehrman and Miss Mittie Sherrod, were driving down Twelfth street in a trap yesterday afternoon, with but little thought of the horrible accident" in which they were to play an important part just down the street in front of the Alabama National bank.
 Tom Orr, an employe of Brfer's auction house, was coming up the street on bi- cycle, and he, too, had no thought of what was going to happen.
 The story of the accident is short There was a crowd of vehicles on the street in front of the bank building, and into the crush Tom rode. He squeezed in between two of these vehicles, and one of the horses becoming somewhat frightened, shied a little. The shaft of the vehicle struck Orr square in the chest knocking him off his wheel, almost under the horses feet. He was only very slightly hurt how ever, and his bicycle was not badly dam aged.
 Officer Mcknight, who was standing near, came to the rescue, but he found everybody concerned in a fairly good shape and mo- body to blame for the accident. He found

The sitnation Seriots

London, October 1.-The situation in Paris is regarded in well-informed quar- ters here as being more serious than at any time since the commune.
 The St. James Gazette says tn s after noon: "A military revolution. however peaceful while the Brisson cabinet is in power, would imperil the relations between England and France almost to the break ng off point.
 'The semi-offic al and partly inspired pa pers are still pretending that negotiations are proceeding between the two govern ments and France believes it, although ev- erybody in England knows the statement to be ridiculous. Even supposing Major Marchand is uncondit onallly withdrawn from Fashoda, the difficulties with France will in no way end. Behind it lies the whole question of the Bahr Elghaazal, the richest prize in the Zoudan."

MILITARY PLOT
 WAS DISCOVERED COnSpiratOTS Aim Against the Govern
 ment of France. B0lSDEFFRE AND PELLEUX Are Alleged to Have Been Concerned
 in the Affair. BONAPARTE MAY BE INCLUDED The semi-oficial Temps Minimizes the Affair, and Says the Cabinet Off,
 cers Denied the Exis-
 tence of a Plot.
BONAPARTE MAY BE INCLUDED

Paris, October 14.-It Is announced here this morning that a military plot against the government has been discovered.
 The Rappel publ shes stories on the sub ject. The plot was discovered by a general holding an important position. The plot ters were to have taken action on Saturday during the absence of the minister of war; General Chanoine.
 It further appears that when the gov- ernment was warned of the plot the min isters were not surpr sed, having already obtained information regarding the con- spiracy.
 The Matn says the plot was not in favor of one of the pretenders to the throne of France, who has been talked about for some time, but was only for the purpose of changing certain officials of the govern ment without touching the pres dent. The premier, M. Brisson, was among those who were not surprised when notified of the plot. He promises to take action in the matter.
 Officials Reticent
 The government officials refuse to furnish any information regard ng the discovery of the military plot against certain govern ment offic. c.als, but it is rumored this af- ternoon that the conspiracy involved Prince Louis Bonaparte, who IS a colonel of Rus sian lancers, and in whose favor his elder brother, Prince Victor Bonaparte, re- gently resigned the leadership of the i'm perial st army. It is added that certain political personages handed the premier important documents, compromising sever al high officials.
 The Liberte asserts that the military men alleged to have been concerned in the con- spiracy are Generals Bo sdeffre and Pei leux.
 Attempts, it is added, were also made to compromise General Zurinden, the mili- tary governor of Paris, who for short time was min ster of war, but it appears the present minister of war, General Cha no ne, refused to countenance it.
 According to the Jour the rumor of the plot arose from forged letter, purporting to have been sent by General Boisdeffre to General Zurlinden containing the words: "Let us be ready for Saturday,. <. The semi official Temps ths evening | minmizes the affair and says the offic als of the ministry of war formally deny that a plot existed. 4 The Temps suggests that misfnterpreta- tion was placed on some of the numerous dispatches now being exchanged between the different garrisons n connection with the present movement of troops which led to strange reports of plots.

Washington Post.

From the Washington Post.
 Fritz Williams, the actor, was sitting one evening in Shanley's uptown cafe, over in New York, when two young men. who wouldn't have been anything but boys out side New York, came in. They were fear fully bored with living, and Broadway was slow, and all that sort of thing, and they beckoned condescendingly to a waiter:
 Waiter said the one, bring me chop Mind it's just right, now. Just mention my name to the cook.'
 "You may bring me a steak" said the other just as grandly, "and tell the cook who it's for"
 The waiter was half way across the room and you know how crowded Shanley's is of an evening-when Fritz Williams hailed him.
