GENERAL SAUSsIER RETIRES.
Students Take Advantage Of It to
Make a Demonstration.

PARIS, Jan. 16-There was a popu-
lar demonstration to-day. with a pro-
cession of military officials, soldiers,
veterans and gymnastic and other as
sociations, in honor Of General Felix
Saussier. now retiring from the military
Governorship OF Paris and the Com
mander-in-C Chief Of the French army.
General Saussier, who was in full
uniform and surrounded by his staff.
stood in the window of his residence
responding assiduously to the saluta-
tons of enormous crowds.
Ultimately bands of students paraded
the streets, shouting "Conspuez Zolai"
Death to the Jews," and the like. In
several cases cafe windows were
smashed and the windows of a house
mistaken for Zola's was broken. The
police finally dispersed the rioters and
made many arrests. Louise Michel
and Sebastian Faure addressed a So
cialist meeting this evening and de-
nounced the secrecy attending the trial
of Comte Esterhazy. There were
shouts of "Abas Brumont! and "Abas
Rocheforti" but there was no further
disorder.
The list of persons signing the petit
ton circulated by NJ. lola and others
on Friday last for a retrial Of former
Captain Alfred Dreyfus is being in
creasingly significant. Numerous men,
bers OF the institute and other promi-
nent PERSONS are signing, which shows
that the movement is daily growing in
responsibility and influence. On the
other hand the antiZola campaign
started by the students, is extending to
Marseilles, Toulouse, Lyons, Nancy and
other large towns.

Cramps ship yard Is now busy thor
oughly overhauling these boats and re-
fitting them with passenger accommo-
dations especially adapted for the Pa
cific Coast-Alaska trade. They will be
newly furnished throughout and
equipped with all the modern conve-
niences for the safety and comfort OF
the passengers. They will be lighted
by electricity, well ventilated and have
ample bathrooms and lavatory accom-
modationS. The cuisine will be well
looked after, and TO secure an ample
supply of fresh meat and vegetables a
cold-storage plant viii be installed. The
boats will be dispatched to the Pacific
Coast as soon as alterations are COM
pleted. y
General Manager Bigbee of the Inter
national Company stated in an inter
view to-day that the fact that his conf
pany has organized the Empire Trans
portation Company indicates that the
organization is not likely to limit its
sphere of action to the Alaskan trade.
The officers of the International Nav
igation Company are now busily en-
gagged on plans for larger steamers to
replace the five boats withdrawn from
their North Atlantic service. The new
ships will be equipped with all modern
improvements and adapted to the re-
quirements of the traffic. They will
be built in this country, probably by
the Cramps.

1t lnspireda Fifteen Yedr-0It Boy
to Murder.
The Crime One of the Most Horrible Char
acter.
A Boy Five Years Old Was- the
Victim-Another Boy Was Also
Tied to q Tree, but Managed to
Escape the Fate That Befell
His Comprehensive Older Boy
Claims It Was an Accident

PHILADELPHIA, Jan. 16.-The body
Of :ivc-year-old Percy Lockyar. who is
believed to have been murdered on FRI
day night by fifteen-year-old Samuel
Henderson, was to-day found in the
bottom of 'Reddies Creek" Sixth and
Catharine streets, and there seems lit
tie doubt in the minds of the police
that young Henderson is guilty of tho
crime. He is now locked in a cell at
police headquarters. The body of the
child, when found, was weighted by
two heavy stones, one about his neck
and the other around his ankles. His
skull was crushed in and there was a
knife thrust above the heart and sim
liar wounds on his breast, side and
forehead, while on one side of the face
was a long cut extending from below
the eye to the chin.
From what the police have been able
to learn the crime seems to have been
one of the most horrible character, and
If all its details are true. it stamps
young Henderson as a degenerate OF
the worst type. He does not seem to
realize the enor1nity of his crime. Yes
terday after his arrest, he admitted a
knowledge of the knife thrust, but said
tAdt IL Was QuS " ttlc CIliiu dCCl-
dentally running against an open knife.
Henderson became alarmed at this ana
said % threw the body into the. creek
To-day, however when shown the mu-
tilated body of the child, he admitted
that he was responsible for those cuts
as well, but he still persists that it was
an accident.
The police however, believe it was
vN1o
also purposed to end the life of an
other small boy, Willie Addison, aged
Z years. Henderson, it is claimed. has
been reading trashy novels of the Wild
West stamp and has shown desire to
emulate the hero of these tales. The
police assert that Henderson accompa-
MED Lockyar and Addison to the woods
as he told yesterday, but instead of
any accident happening to either, Hen
derson tied both children to a tree.
Addison broke away and ran home. It
was then, it is said, that young Lock-
vars death was accomplished. DIR.
Morton, the Coroners physician, who
examined the thrust above the heart,
said it caused the death of the little
fellow. The police searched for the
body during all of last night, and it
was not until after daylight this
morning that it was found. Hender-
son will be given hearing tomorrow
morning.
A fact that has come out in connec-
ton with Hendersons alleged crime is
that his father, John d. Henderson,
was on trial before Judge Reed in Oc-
tober, 1892, charged with killing Chris
TOPPER Nelson. The killing was the out
come of a quarrel. Henderson was ar
raigned and pleaded guilty to man.
slaughter. He was remanded for sem
tence, but some time later it was shown
that the death was largely accidental
and there was no murderous intent
He was admitted to bail and is now a
free man.

ACCIDENTALLY SHOT.
MISHAP TO JOHN BLACK
BURNS DAUGHTER.
She will Probably Recover, but
Has Received q Severe
Shock.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 16-In her
apartment in the Wellington Hotel last
night Mrs. Lucille Lane, youngest
daughter of ex-senator John Blackburn
of Kentucky, shot herself. According to
the statement given out by the family.
the shooting was accidental. Both of
Mrs Lanes physicians refused to dis
cuss the subject even to the extent OF
saying whether or not the wound would
prove fatal, but from the very best that
can be learned, she will probably re-
cover, although now suffering severely
from the shock.
A friend of the family nominated to
give out a statement said that about
midnight on Sunday Mrs. Lane was pre-
pairing to retire. Her husband, at the
time was in the adjoining room looking
over the papers. Mrs. Lane opened
bureau drawer to get a handkerchief
and picked up handful of gloves and
laces which had been tossed together
in the drawer. Under this fluffy mass
there was a tiny lady's pistol, a gift to
Mrs. Lane from her father, and pos
session of which she was particularly
fond. 1t caught in a piece of lace as
she raised her hand, and falling on it's
~
dge of the open drawer. The pistol ex-
ploded and the ball penetrated the left
breast. What became of it is impossi-
BILE to say. According to the statement
given out it struck a rib and ranged
around beneath the left shoulder, max
ing only superficial wound. At the
same time it is said Mrs. Lane is suffer-
ing so from the shock that the physi
clans have devoted all their energies to
rallying her without attempting to def
nitely ascertain the extent Of the injury.
The most precise statement that either
physician would make tonight was that
Mrs Lane would probably live until
morning. At the request of the family
the block in which the hotel is located
has been roped off.
Ex-senator Blackburn is deeply af-
fected by the occurrence. He does not
live with his daughter, and when the
affair occurred was summoned from his
room on New York avenue, remaining
thereafter at Mrs. Lanes hotel.
Lucille was the youngest daughter of
ex-senator Blackburn. She was mar
ried in 1895 to Thomas F. Lane, prom
inent business man and politician of
Summit, n. J. AT the time of the mar
riage Mr.. Lane was chief of division
in the Treasury Department. Suisse
quently he accepted a place with the
Maxim Arms Company of New York
as their agent in Washington. The po-
sition is reputed a good one, and the
Lanes had, apparently, always an
abundance of money, which they spent
freely, living at a fashionable hotel and
seeming to lack none of the good things
of life. Their little GIRL something over
year DID, was one of the favorites
about the house with all who knew her
and the particular pride of her mother.
Mr.. and Mrs. Lane, according to those
who saw them every day. were unvary-
ingly affectionate and attentive to each
other, and she, while of slight physique,
was in excellent health.
Mrs. Blackburn, who is not in the
city, has been telegraphed for Mrs
Lanes elder sister, Corinne, is the wife
