Paterson, N. j., July 31.-The rumor
that Angelo Bressi, who was arrested
Sunday at Monza, Italy. for the assas-
sination of King Humbert, had lived
here caused quite sensation in the
Italian quarter. Monday afternoon,
after a diligent search among the Ital-
ians, it was learned that broad silk
weaver named Angelo Bressi, aged
about 80 years, had worked in the silk
mills owned by Hamil & Booth, in this
city, up to May last. He left for Italy
about that date and nothing has been
heard of him since. During his stay
here, which was about six months, he
lived at the Hotel Barftholdi, 325
Straight street. Those who knew him
say that he was of a quiet temperament
and inoffenSive man.

ItaIy's New King and Queen.

Vittorio Emmanuel Fernandino Maria
Gennaro, who succeeds his father to the
throne of Italy, was the only son of King
Humbert. He was born November II, 1869,
and has the reputation of being a liberal.
scholarly and sodierly man. He is a gen
eral in the Italian army, and patron of
art and literature. He is a chevalier of
the Order of the Golden Fleece and a
knight of the Garter.
His wife, Italy's new queen, was Prin-
cess Helena, one of the seven daughters of
Prince Nicolas, the ruler of the little prin-
cipality of Montenegro She was born in
the royal palace in Cettinje in 1873. With
her sisters, she inherited the superb dark
beauty of her mother. the daughter of a
Montenegrin nobleman. She has been most
carefully reared by tutors and governesses
and is not only admirable in all the arts and
graces of European courts. but is well
versed in the play of politics and in every
way qualified TO succeed even so lovely a
queen as Margherita of Italy. The nup-
tials of Prince Vittorio and Princess Helena
were celebrated in Rome October "a, 1896,
with all the pomp and circumstance usual
on SI1ch occasions

HUMBERT's REIGN.
A Brief sketch of the Life of the
Murdered Ruler.

King Humberts full name was Uemberto
Renter Charles Emmanuel Jean Marie Fer
dnand Eugene. He born a Turin on
/ March IA, 1874. He was the son of Victor
| Emmanuel H., who died on January 3,
! 1873, and of Queen Adelaide who was be-
| fore her marriage arhcduchess of Austria.
| He succeeded to the throne upon the death
| of his father. He ives married to Princess
| Helene of Montenegro in Rome on April
| q. 1865
| Once before his majesty was attacked by
/ an assassin. On November IL, 1873 short
| ly after he had been crowned, an attempt
was made on his life while he was entering
| the city of Naples. Giovanni Passarate, a
cook. waving a flag, approached the royal
| carriage and stabbed the king in the arm
with short dagger His majesty drew his
| sword and wounded the man. Members of
| the royal suite came to his assistance, but
not until one of them was severely wound
| ed was the would-be murderer secured
King Humbert's reign has been marked
more for his ability to keep his people knit
| together than for any extraordinary activ-
| ity he has shown In the affairs of the ma
lions of Europe. Most of the historians of
modern affairs contend that Italy's stabil-
| ity since 1861, when Victor Emmanuel was
| first saluted king. has been due to the
sagacity of her ministers rather than TO
| the greatness of either Humbert or his
/ father. But it is memorable that even
/ when Humbert assembled the throne the
! army ana navy OF MS country were as
| nothing, his people were impoverished
roads were unbult and the nation had a
poor standing among the people of the
earth.
! The triple alliance, with its accompani-
ments of ready armies and equipped navy
| has flourished under his rule, and his peo-
| pie have remained loyal to him, in spite
! of the scandals which shook, in turn, every
! minister from place and power.
The most notable achievements of King
| Humbert's reign have been the consum-
nation of the triple alliance between Ger
many, Austro-Hungary and Italy, and the
securing of Turkish adhesion to the com
pact as a precautionary measure against
| the possible encroachments of Russia and
| other powers. Beyond this he seems to
/ have been content to care mostly for the
/ internal and material advancement of his
people, as though they were at most and
| at least his neighbors, companions and
/ friends. OF late years he has followed
more closely in the humane and generous
practices of his amiable wife-visiting hos
/ pitfalls, mingling with the poor and giving
1 his personal care to charities that are not
| included in the written duties of the state
departments.

Colorapo Springs Is Recovering From
the Storm.

tne bTOrln.
Colorado Springs, Nov. 26.-The
city is rapidly taking on its normal ap-
peaTance after yesterdays storm. The
damage will approximate $200, 900 and
is due entirely to destruction by the
wind, all reports u serious fire losses
being unfounded. There were 10 alarms
OF fire In 10 hours. but no serious fires
occurred. Incandescent lights ara
burning tonight, but the streets are
still dark. Light wires and telegraph
wires are still strewn across the trolley
wires in many places and the street
railway traffic will not be resumed un-
til some time tomorrow. About 500
houses and business blocks are damaged
and l50 trees uprooted.
No lives were lost in the storm. and
Colonel E. T. Ensign, who was struck
by telegraph pole and suffered
broken leg. has the most serious in
jury.
The storm was not attended by rain
OF snow. The gale came direct from
Pixies Peak, which is west of the city,
and 1t blew from P. NJ. to "a. NJ.
At 2:S0 ?. NJ, when the wind gauge
at the Colorado college was destroyed,
1t had registered velocity OF SO miles
per hour. The weather today has been
fair and warm, with little wind.
The damage is greatest in the busi-
ness part of the city. The Ell Paso
National bank, Durkee building, Cid
ding block, opera house, high school,
postoff1ce, AntIer's livery, Colorado
Springs Transfer Company and Min
ing Exchange buildings, all in the
center OF the city, had roofs torn of or
were badly damaged and wreckage
blockades the principal streets. Plate
glass windows all over the city are
shattered and the loss in these alone
will amount to many thousands OF dol
lars. From outlying sections Of the
city reports have come of destruction
of many small dwelling houses. In
Ivy Wild, suburb, Smiths green
houses were blown down and burned.
There were about dozen alarms Of fire
during the day and night. Firemen
did valiant service ssand prevented the
spread of the flames. Mayor Robin
son is commended on all sides for his
prompt action in organizing commit
tee OF safety. Major Shapcott was
placed in charge and he at once organ
ised a force to patrol the streets and

THE STORM IN TENNESSEE.
More Than 80 people Were KILLED and
100 Injured.


Nashville, Tenn, Nov. 24.-Tennes-
see was swept last night by the most
destructive storm ever known in the
state. More than so people were
killed, and 100 more injured, while the
damage TO houses, timber and other
property will reach large figures.
The storm entered the state from
Northern Mississippi and swept across
in northeasterly direction. Great
damage is reported from the counties
bordering ON Mississippi and further
on. Columbia, in Maury county, Is
the heaviest sufferer. Lavergne, Mol
ansville and Gallatin also felt the
winds fury. the storm finally losing its
force against the Cumberland noun
tain range. Coiumbis's casualties
number 25 dead and 90 injured.

yards wide, and was through the north
western suburbs OF the town. In its
path everything is completely wrecked.
Not even the iron and stone fence on
the the arsenal grounds is standing.
The number OF houses destroyed in
the Nolansville neighborhood is I6.
At Layergne, l6 miles south OF here,
on tile Nashville, Chattanooga q st.
Louis road. the velocity OF the wind
was marvellous, and from best reports
lasted only about 20 seconds. In this
short time about 80 dwellings were
turned into kindling wood. The wind
made swath about 200 yards WIDE
through the middle Of the town. The
Lavergne high school and the station,
the two largest buildings, were laid
fiat. The railroad lost four section
houses also.
The rise in the Cumberland river at
Nashville is the most rapid known in
rs years, the water having climbed 20
ieet on the gauge since yesterday
morning.
In Memphis there 10 heavy loss as
q result of the storm. Culverts we're
washed out and small bridges were
swept away. Lumber firms on Wolf
river suffered severely from the de-
truction of logs. and it is estimated to-
night that their losses will foot up be-
tween $500 900 and $500, 900.
