HIS HEAD CRUSHED.
Marins Diver Drowned Under les Fset
of water.

Tacoma, Aug. 19.-William Bald.
win, the famous marine diver. OF Seat
tie. was drowned this afternoon while
working on the submerged Andelana,
1913 feet under water. 1t has been
contended that divers could not descend
deeper than 15O feet. Baldwin said he
could reach the Andelana, and made
three descents.
On the fourth trip down, the terrific
air pressure broke tile connecting
tubes TO his pneumatic suit, and he
was drowned. His head was crushed
to pieces by the pressure.
Baldwin made his fret trip to the
bottom Of Commencement bay on the
afternoon Of August 8. and broke all
previous records for deep-sea diving by
going down a little over 33 fathoms
When he was drawn to the surface, af-
ter his first descent, his first words,
when the helmet was removed from his
suit were: II knew could reach the
ship and did,"
When he went down again this af-
ternoon his assistants and few specta-
tors.who were on the barge, which is
moored near where the Andelana is ly.
ing, jokingly said goodbye. as they had
always done before. and one Of the
men at the air pump added, "We'll all
attend your funeral" Little did they
think that that would be the last time
Baldwin would be seen alive.
Heretofore the record for the deepest
dive made under water was held by
Gunner's Mate Morgan, OF the United
States cruiser Charleston, who went
below the surface OF the water q dis.
tance OF 100 feet. When this record
was made, 1t was considered phenomen-
al. and many thought the feat impos'
sible.
Alta depth OF 1893 feet there is a
water pressure OF 80 pounds to the
square inch. and a pressure Of 95
pounds TO the square inch is necessary
to force breathing air to the man be-
low the water. but this did not deter
Baldwin from attempting to reach the
.sunken ship. In describing the feel
ing experienced under 33 fathoms Of
water, Baldwin said it was a paralyz.
ing sensation all over the body and
| limbs, and when there would he the
least hitch in the airpump. the top OF
his head seemed to raise about three
feet. Ordinary garden hose was used
to furnish air to Baldwin. and this
was only guaranteed to Withstand a
| pressure OF rs pounds, 80 his death can
be laid only to his own carlessness.
Before the raising OF the Andelana
could finally be successful. il would be
necessary for Baldwin to go to S6 faith
oms OF water, and he seemed perfectly
willing to chance the danger. Diver
Baldwin was to receive $50. 900 for his
labors il the Andelana was raised, hui
now that he has been killed, it il
probable that the ship will continue to
lie In Commencement bay for some
time to come.
This will probably be the last at

coast who would even make the at

stration in Paris.
HUNDREDS OF PEOPLE INJURED
Heap and Fired-sscristan Seized
by the Mob.

Paris, Aug. 22.--Paris was today
the scene Of most serious disturbances,
recalling some aspect of the commune.
In response to an appeal Of the Journal
du Peuple, groups Of anarchists and So
cialists gathered about O'Clock in the
afternoon in the Place de Ia Repub-
lique. The police had taken precau-
tiUns, and there seemed to be no dan.
ger Of disorders. Sebastian Faure and
Faberot, well-known revolutionary an
archists, were the rinR-leaders. FauIe,
standing on the pedestal Of the statue
which rises in the center OF the Palace
de la Republique, adressed the crowd.
Among other things he said that the
anarchists should be masters of the
streets. The police then inter fered
and dislodged FauIe and FabsIot, max
ing three arrests. The crowd at this
point dispersed, but column Of dem
onstiators. headed by Faure and
Henri d'Hori, made for the Place de
la Nation. The police broke through
the column and struggle for the mas
terry followed. Shots were fred. and
M. Coulter, com mmissary Of police. was
twice stabbed with knife.
The rioters proceeded toward the
Fanborg du Temple, at the corner Of
Rue Darberi and the Rue st. MauIi-
Popincourt, they formed up into a COM
pact body. Hatchets were suddenly
produced. with long knives stolen from
tile counters OF shops. and coDcen-
trated rush was made upon the Church
Of st. Joseph.
The aged sacristan, seeing the mob,
hastily closed the outer gates. but these
were soon forced with hatchets and
bars OF iron. The massive oaken doors
were then attacked. According to the
first account. the wild horde burst into
the church. which instantly became a
scene Of wild pillsge and sacrifice. Al
tars and statues were hurled to the
floor and smashed; pictures were rent,
candlesticks. ornaments and hosts from
high altars were thrown down and
| tfampled under foot. The crucidx
above was made the target Tor missiles
and the figure Of the Savior was frac-
tured in several places. Then, while
rancOrous voices sang the "CarmaR.
nole," the chairs we're carried outside,
piled up and set on FIRE in the center oI
the square fronting the church. When
this stage was reached, the cruciiz
was pulled down and thrown into tht
flames. Suddenly the cry was raised
that the statue of the Virgin had beer
forgotten. and the crowd returned ant
tore this down also.
An attempt was made to fire the
choir of st. Joseph's with petroleum
and the tiremen we're called in Il
quench the flames. Several parishion
ers were severely mauled in their ef
forts to defend the church from sacri
lege. The church is situated In thu
poorest quarter of the city. No disord
ers Of any kind occurred in the fashion
able district.
Meanwhile the sacristan, who ha(
been captured by the anarchists, es
capped, and called the police and repub
lican guards, who promptly arrived
with many constables. They wer'
compelled to fall back in order to form
up into line of defense. as the anaioh
lists attacked them fearfully will

wonderfully successful in promptly cur
ing kidney, bladder and uric acid trou-
bles.
Some of the early symptoms of weak
kidneys are pain or duh ache in the
back, rheumatism, dizziness. headache,
nervousness. catarrh of the bladder,
gravel or calcuii, bloating. sallow COM
plexion, puffy or dark circles under the
eyes, suppression of urine or compelled

the famous new discovery, Dr. KLlmer' s

the highest for its wonderful cures of
the most distressing cases. If you need

think that it was juggled into the little

GERS the opinion seems to be that the
box of soveregnS never left Sydney.
Their convictions are strengthened by the
story which H. Cook. one of the cabin
boys. tells He says that when the Ala
media was three days out from Sydney
N S. w, he and some others were sent
into the specie tank to get out a guam
tity of wines and liquors. While the
other boys were at work he walked back
and forth over the boxes of sovereigns,
thinking how few people in the world had
trod gold under foot as he. AS he walked
he counted the boxes and says positively
there were only tWenty-nine. He is sure
of that. because he figured out how much
twenty-nine boxes, each containing 5000
sovereigns would make in American
money. At that time ne did not know
there should have been thirty boxes and
the matter passed out of his mind until
the discovery of the loss was made by
the purSer.

of gold was being made to England and
