BOTH DASHED ID DEATH.
Senor Severo, the Brazilian Aero naut and M. Sachet, His
 Engineer Killed.
THEY FELL FIFTEEN HUNDRED FEET.
When at That Altitude, in Attempt- ing n Trip From In Paix to Issy, France, the Big Gas Bag Explod- ed, in Plain View of Numerous Relatives and Friends.

Paris, May 13.-The death of Sem who, with an assistant, was killed, Monday morning, by the explosion of his airship at La Paix, in which he was making trial trip, created ter rible consternation.
 The balloon at the time was 1.500 feet above the ground.
 The aeronaut fell into the Avenue du Marne and was dashed to pieces. The bones of his legs were forced through the soles of his boots. The engineer who accompanied him was also killed
 The accident is said to have been caused by leakage of gas.
 Senor Severo started with the in- tention of sailing to the military parade ground at Issy, and large number of his relatives and friends were proceeding in the direction of that village, situated five miles south west of Paris. With an engineer
 
 his baloon-house near the boulevard De Naugirard. at 5:30 a. m., in ex- cellent spirits and full of confidence. The aeronaut put his airship through a series of evolutions before starting in the direction of Issy. There seemed to be some hitch with the steering gear, and the rear propelling screw turned with difficulty. Never theless, after several stoppages, the airship sailed off, moving steadily enough through a light breeze. Sud- denly puff of wind caught the ship and whirled it over the Avenue Du Maine. The ship turned completely round and veered about in a fashion showing control of her had been lost Then, from the center of the outer envelope a tongue of flame darted out. This was followed by loud re- port resembling cannon shot, and the balloon sank like a stone, falling on the roof of a house, thence into some trees and finally reaching the Avenue Du Maine, almost on top ot its occupants, who had previously been precipitated to the stone pave- ment. The fearfully mangled corpses of Severa and Sachet were conveyed to neighboring police station. The bodies presented a horrible spectacle, especially that of Sachet. The fame which caused the explosion burned the engineers in a most shocking manner. Practically not bone of either victim was left unfractured and both skulls were terribly crushed.
 The impression among local aero- nauts is that NJ. Severo was not suffi- ciently adept in maneuvering the air ship and that the construction of the Pax was faulty as compared with other models of a similar type.
 It is also thought that NJ. Severo's machinist, who accompanied him, be- came confused at the critical moment and was partly responsible for the accident.
 The primary cause of the castastro- phe was the ignition of the hydrogen with which the balloon was inflated.

Frisco Trais Held Up.

Four masked men held up a west bound Frisco passenger train between JonesbOrO and Bonneville. From the manner In which the bandits went about the hold-up they were evident. ly experienced railroad men. The train was Jagged down with a rail road lantern, but seeing that the engi- neer intended to ignore the signal a switch was turned and three cars were derailed. The robbers took charge of the engine and express car, taking them on to the main line a short dis tance from where the other coaches with passengers were left standing and blew open two safes, after having first put the engineer and expressman off before taking charge of the engine and car. One safe was empty and the other contained only a small amount of cash After finishing their work they took the engine, ran it down the track two miles and escaped

Port-au-Prince. Hayti, May 14.-At about the time that the former presi- dent embarked on the French steam CT here news was received from Cape Haytien, on the north coast, to the effect that Gen.

The dispatches added that the whole north and northwest of tho Hayti had declared in favor of Gen. Firmin

REVOLUTION IN HAITI.
The Streets of Port-au-prince the Scene of Considerable Fight
 ing Monday Night.
TIE OLD GOVERNMENT AT THE PALACE.
ReyOlutionistS Under Gen. saint Folk Colin Demand That They Leave the Island Forthwith Some Have Sought Refuge nt the United states Legation.

Port au Prince, Hayti, May h. Further fighting occurred in the streets here before and after mid night Some of the leaders of the revolution have retired to the United States legation. The situation is very serious. The whole population is armed, and insists on the immediate departure from the country of for mer President Sam.
 Clashes between the partizans of the numerous presidential candidates continued Monday afternoon. The followers of Gen. Saint Folk Colin at tackled the adherents of Gen.Defy, the military commander here. The firing was severe for about an hour. but so far as known very few were killed or wounded. Gen Defy was compelled to evacuate the Hotel De La Place, and retreated to the palace, where he barrieaded himself and his followers. having previously secured good sup ply of ammunition.
 Some time before midnight there was another outbreak of firing, and this time the casualties were some what severe.
 In the meanwhile firing occurred in other parts of the city, and lasted until after midnight, when the situ- ation became ealmer.
 Former President Sam, Tancrede Auguste. the minister of the interior and of police; Gen. Defy and M. c. Leconte, the minister of agriculture and public works, had gathered their forces in the palace, at about mid night. where their position was strengthened by the fact that they had the presidential guard on their side. Opposed to this party was Gen Saint Folk Colin, at the head of a large body of armed citizens. The latter are determined that the mem bers of former government of Hayti shall embark forthwith on the French mail steamer. If they do not do so it is almost certain that the fighting VIII itNOLillitnCt. anu Will Dt COHIln ued with the greatest severity.
 Gen. Nilbrun, the former minister of war, and NJ. r. Faine, the former minister of finance and commerce, have sought refuge in the French le- gation.
 Early in the morning, NJ. Tancrede Auguste seemed to have abandoned the sam party, for he sought safety in the United States legation. His example was followed by NJ. Brutus Saint Victor, the minister of foreign affairs and public instruction, who also sought the protection of the United States flag.
 As this dispatch is sent (early Tues day morning) occasional shots can be heard, but the situation has not ma terially changed.
 Nobody seems to know what has be- come of tine provisional government which was understood to have been established Monday under NJ. Bois- rond Canal, a former president.

Swine ..........1, ,713,307 ,505, ,2f4
 comparison between the number Of domestic animals reported in 1890 and 1900 indicates an important change in the character of the live stock industry. There has been a small decrease in the numbers of other neat cattle and of sheep. Horses and mules, on the other hand. show great increases, and swine have Increased to some extent.
 The decrease of 5.3 per cent in the number of dairy cows since 1890 Is believed to be more apparent than real, as the production of milk more than doubled in the same period. It IS probable that many of the 19.557 cows and heifers not kept for milk" were in reality milch cows. dry at the time Of enumeration.
 The decrease in the number of other neat cattle is probably even greater than indicated by the table. The number of other neat cattle" given for 1900 includes 254.473 calves. and it is uncertain whether any calves were reported in 1890 un- der this designation. If not, there has been a decrease for the decade, of 50.6 per cent in the number of other neat cattle" over one year of age. The conclusion might be drawn that, owing to the rapid settlement of the state, the steadily enhancing value of farm lands, and the increas- ing acreage devoted to crops, the Arkansas farmer has partially abandoned stock raising as a source Of revenue. IL must be borne in mind, however, that the comparative ly high market price of beef and nut ton which prevailed for a number of months prior to the date of enume- ration, naturally led many farmers to reduce their herds and foels to an unusual extent
 The rapid development of agrlcul- ture since the close of the civil war Is nowhere more clearly reflected than in the steady increase in the number of horses and mules. Near ly three times as many horses and oppi OA4ihdbtly Ilhe tiuIeS dS Lldly mules. were reported in 1900 as in 1870. In the last decade the number of horses increased 35.7 per cent and the number of mules 40.3 per cent
 The sheep-raising industry has been on the decline since 1880, the decrease in the last ten years amounting to 30.8 per cent Swine have fiucturated in number from de- cade to decade. the change since 1890 being an increase of 138 per cent
 The total value of all live stock on farms, June 1. 1900. was $37,483,771. Of this amount 27.l per cent repre- sents the value of horses; PIP per cent that of mules and burros; 16.9 per cent that of dairy COWS; 14.S per cent that of other neat cattle; per cent that of swine; 4.1 per cent that of poultry, and 1.9 per cent that of all other live stock.
 No reports were secured of the value of live stock not on farms, but it is probable that such animals have higher average values than those on farms. Allowing the same averages, the total value of the domestic animals not on farms is $2,280,17o Exclusive of the poultry and bees not on farms. the total value of live stock in the state is approximately S39.763.941.

Kind Words From An Editor.

Hon. Garry A. Willard. president of the National Editorial Association. in his write-up of the recent convention held at Hot Springs. says many good things about Arkansas, and especially Hot Springs and Little Rock Below is an extract from his article appear ing in the Bonneville (N. Y.) Herald. of which MT. Willard is the editor:
 After leaving the famous Hot Springs. the city that cures all ills that flesh is heir to, our programme took us to Little Rock, the capital of the state, which has a population of some 45.000 people. It is situated in the center of the state and by push pluck and perseverance is forging ahead at a rapid rate. It is termed the City of Roses because of the pro fusion of the queen of flowers, but we were too early and the season too late. and while the pathway of the editors was not strewn with flowers there was most hospitable welcome ac- corded after the true southern style that was fully appreciated.
 A committee of citizens with the First Regiment band, met the train at the station and by trolley cars con yeyed the visitors to the city park, where ex-Congressman w. L. Terry delivered an eloquent address of vel come. in which he said
 We are proud to welcome such a body of men today, and proud to have you within our gates. You have doubtless entered the gates of fairer cities and travelled through more pros porous states, but you will never enter one whose people are more willing to extend the right-hand of American fel- loWship to every son and daughter of sister state, or will more gratefully appreciate any kind or generous word you may be pleased to say in their be- half, Like every other part of the south, We have encountered our trials and difficulties. We have met them the best We could, and now, forgetting the gloom, and remembering only the
 
 our hands to the work of today, and our faces to the light and hope of the future. We rejoice, indeed, in your coming. and we rejoice in the oppor. tunities 1t affords to strengthen those kindly ties that should bind us all to- gether in one common brotherhood whose proudest boast should be, II am n ;.I
 strengthen and bind that tie that the constitution itself was formed over. arching a glorious sisterhood of sover- eign states. To aid in the accom-. plishment of that grand purpose. you have indeed a grand mission to per. form.
 /" 4 union of lakes and a union of
 lands
 Is an object of noblest endeavor. But union of hearts and a union Of
 hands
 Means the flag of our country forever.
 The people of Arkansas. while hold. Ing sacred the memories of the civil war. are intensely loyal today to the stars and stripes. They believe one country and one flag to be far prefer. able to the confederation of states. for which some of the noblest blood of the country was shed Every moment at Little Rock was enjoyed The city is one of which the state can we'll be proud. and We look for future growth and prosperity that will outstrip many other cities less favorably located"
