Paul answered that he would force
him to swallow both his sword and his
pen," and then an encounter followed
in the Bots de Vincennes. Lissagray
was an expert swordsman, but evident

failed. Cassagnac managed to dodge
and inflicted two wounds on his oppon-

end to the combat, but the principals
insisted on continuing and they fought
with the utmost fury until the cousin
was run through the lungs.
During the closing days Of the en-
pire and later as a member of the
French chamber of deputies, Cassagnac
had many encounters and duels, and
in every case came off victorious.

a year behind bolted doors in Chinese

dropping the following note from a
crack in the wall:

fering girl go at once to the police
and tell them 1 am being held a pris-

The letter says further:
Gen. Stoessel wired the Russian
emperor and court recently:

death is better than to capitulate.

damage to the Russian fleet ana to the

destroyed with it's ammunition and

over the Santiam river, and fell so
feet to his death.
Bilyeu was just beginning the days
work, and as his train pulled out of
Silverton, he came out on the platform
and waved to his wife, who was watch
ing his departure. With a smile on Inns
face he stood on the lowest step of the
rear platform of the last car, with his
head turned toward the lessening fig
ure' of his wife, who stood waving him
goodbye. The farewell was in grim
earnest, as when the train reached the
bridge over the Santiam at that point,
Bilyeu struck the timbers and was
knocked from the car. He fell into the
river below, but never rose to the sur
face. 1t is supposed that he was killed
instantly by the force of the blow on
the body.
Mr.. Bilyeu was formerly for same
years a conductor on the Oregon City
Railway company, and lived in Port
land. He was we'll known here, but left
the employ of the local company some
time ago to enter the service of the
Southern Pacific, and was put to work
on the Springfield-Woo division.
He is we'll remembered by the men of
the o. w. p & Ry. Co., who express
deep regret at his death.

NEW YORK MAN WAS ADJUDGED
INSANE WHEN HE WAS
NOT CRAZY.
Smith. Inventor of Fiery Water, Says
Wrongful Commitment Cost
Him a Fortune.

NEW YORK, N. Y, Nov. q1.-Be-
cause he was adjudged insane, incar-
cerated in three asylums and later
freed by the supreme court L. L. smith,
who describes himself as an inventor
has brought suit against the city for
s1,O0O,O00.
Smith. who has an office at No. 595
Broadway, was the co-worker and con-
fidant of Count Morgenstein, the
strange old chemist who, with his
daughter, disappeared so mysteriously
a little over a year ago that it was
feared they were murdered. Smith was
arrested at the time and taken to po-
lice headquarters where he was openly
questioned, but subsequently allowed
to go. Later, however, he was ar
rested on a warrant sworn out by Gen.
trail Office Detective Reilly, charging
him with insanity. He was taken to
Bellevue and committed to Blooming
dale by Justice McCane in the SUI
preme court on Oct. 20 of last year.
Subsequently he was transferred to
Wards Island and thence to River
crest asylum, in Astoria.
Upon an appeal from the commit
ment jury in Part II of the supreme
court found Smith sane and he was
discharged after he had been confined
six weeks.
Declaring his confinement had pre-
vented his becoming fabulously rich
from one Of his inventions, Smith filed
a claim for a million dollars with the
comptroller. NoW he has brought suit
for the amount through Lawyer ]. G.
Snyder, of No. 256 Broadway.
Nothing has been heard of Morgen-
stein and his daughter since their dis
appearance. Morgenstein and Smith
claimed to have discovered a chemical
process by which oil and water might
be SO united that both would burn,
making a wonderfully cheap fuel.
Smith now has a patent on a baking
oven in which he uses this process.

ABERDEEN, Wash, Nov. 11.-No

to sea, clinging to an overturned boat,
while on hunting expedition down the

swimmer, and how the accident could

ter prolonged search with no trace Of
chance in a thousand that he has drift
ed ashore but even if that occurred
he would have been so chilled from his
long immersion in the cold water that
he would probably have succumbed to
the cold.
Today was to have been his wedding
day, the bride being Miss Hadassah
Knapp, popular young lady of this
place, but the day which was to have
been the happiest of her life has been
transformed by the grip of death into
one of the deepest trouble and sorrow.
Miss Knapp is Frustrated by the blow.
She commands the deepest sympa thy

as there is the slightest chance that he
may be rescued alive or that his body
may be recovered and the question of
his own fate be definitely settled.

Had "That Carnegie FEELING"

NEW YORK, Nov. 11.-"That Carne-
gle feeling IAmerican slang)-an un-
comfortable desire to part with ones
money in the interest of ones fellow
man and without hope of reward
James Mahoney, genial and generous
this morning added a phrase to- the
language and made glad the hearts of
hundred homeless nomads.
The Carnegie feeling took possession
Of Mahoney early today just before the
sun had kept it's daily appointment
Mahoney had won a large "wad' at
100 to / on Bar LIE Due. Entering the
little park at Thirty-fourth street and
Broadway, he made a megaphone Of
his hands. and shouted:
Wake up and have something to
eat, 70 ufellows. I've got that Carne-
gle feeling"
The shabby wanderers, reused from
their dreams Of a home, made con-
certed rush toward Young Carnegie"
Mahoney distributed a generous sum
to the crowd, but some of them, prob
ably filled with the spirit of election
tide, repeated on him and got two
or three quarters or half dollars. He of
the Carnegie feeling, enlisted the aid
of Patrolman Charles Lank, who mar
shalled the ragged ranks and marched
with Mahoney to restaurant on Sew
enth avenue.
One hundred sad-faced humans be-
came saucer-eyed and shifted wildly
when the aroma of the succulent ham,
burger and ox-tail waited out the
door. The restaurant seated so at
time. Young Carnegie" stood at the
door, and as they passed out he gave
each a quarter.
1t cost Mahoney % cents a plate to
feed his charges and he presented each
with couple of good cigars Too full
for utterance and fearing to shat
ter the apparent dream, the happy hun
dred dispersed and sought secluded
spots of lodging houses in which to re-
pose and get the joyous aftermath.
