CHURCH BURNS SULPHUR
Sulfocating Fumes Drives The Soldiers
Back.

Paris (By Cable) The net results
of the inventory operations conducted
throughout the country Tuesday show
that total of over / 800 inventories
were made. In only few cases were
there serious collisions between
those who resisted the intrusion of
the government commissioners and
the troops. The reports show that
altogether four gendarmes and sew
eral peasants were wounded, and
that about one dozen demonstrants
were arrested. They were at once
tried and sentenced to short terms in
jail. In several instances the people
are still holding out, and will re-
main in the churches throughout the
night.
The work of inventorying has been
completed in 63 ont of the total of
SO departments. There still remain
1000 inventories to be taken in the
other 23 departments, and in some
places stout resistance is anticipated
Premier Clemenceau said in the
Chamber of Deputies that the troops
had been ordered to exercise patience,
but that If they were fired on they
would reply.
Taken by Surprise.
When the soldiers battered down
the doors of the church at Villalon-
ue-de-la-Salangue they were driven
out by sulphur fumes. and the prefect
was compelled to postpone taking the
inventory.
In most cases the parish priests
and bishops after protesting, yielded
to a show of force, but some of the
priests defended the chruches until
the doors were broken down. In
hundreds of cases the priests were
taken by surprise, the authorities
and soldiers arriving before daylight
and completing their work before an
alarm could be given.
AT Armentieries, department du
Nord, after the doors of the church
had been broken in, the authorities
found the vestry fortified with a
breastwork of chairs bound together
with barbed wire. The congregation
iilled the church and sang "The
Carmagnole" while the taking of the
inventory was proceeding.
A Bishop Elected.
When the authorities arrived at
the seminary of Alencon, capital of
the Department of Orne. they found
the Bishop barring the door in person
and the soldiers were compelled TO
eject him.
At st. Ginolph, on the Swiss from
tier, troops occupied all the APP
proaches to the church in order to
keep back the enraged populace.
Resistance was general through
out the Department of Herault Vio-
lent resistance occurred at Pignan,
where the church was filled with the
fumes of burning sulphur, which was
shoveled into the building from the
vestry and the roof, and again and
again forced out the soldiers, while a
crowd of men and women outside
shouted maledictions on the troops
and hurled stones and fower-pots
at them.
The church was finally cleared by
charge of infantry in order to per-
nit the firemen to flood the church,
but it was then discovered that the
water mains had been plugged.

Cherbourg (By Cable) In the
collision in a dense fog between the
North German Lloyd steamer Kaiser
Wilhelm der Crosse and the British
Royal Mail steamer Orinoco four
steerage passengers we're killed and
seven persons injured. On the Ori-
noco three men and a woman were
killed, six women and a man were
injured and five persons were knock
er overheard and drowned.
The four steerage passengers killed
were Geo. Muhlbeier and Samuel
Croissant, of Worms: Michael Zim-
belman, of Forbach, and Anna Kouce-
lik of Cecelowiz, Bohemia. A girl
named Stevier was disemboweled and
died in a hospital.
When the collision occurred the
Kaiser Wilhelm der Crosse was
steaming at the rate of II knots an
hour from Cherbourg, after having
touched here on her voyage out.
The Orinoco was bound for this port
when the accident happened. The
commander of the Orinoco claims
that he signalled that he was going
to starboard of the North German
Lloyd vessel, but that the latter held
her course across the Orinoco's bows
and only went to port of the ORR
noco when 1t was too late.
Breach Twelve Feet Wide.
The engines of the Orinoco, it is
added, were reversed so soon as it
appeared likely that an accident
would occur, but she crashed into the
starboard bow of the Kaiser Wilhelm
der Crosse, making a breach IL feet
wide. The stem of the Orinoco above
the water line was carried away as
the vessels cleared after the COL
lision. The shock threw all the pas
sengers on the Kaiser Wilhelm der
Crosse off their feet and the greatest
excitement prevailed, especially in
the steerage of the. German vessel.
The captain of the Orinoco ordered
boats to be cleared away, but the
panic on board of that ship was gem
eral. Some of the crew jumped into
and launched two of her boats and
several frenzied women attempted to
get into them as they were being

Rescued From The Water.
So soon as the accident occurred
a number of small boats from Cher
bourg put out to the scene of the
collision and succeeded in rescuing
some of the sailors and passengers,
who We're struggling in the waves,
but five of the crew of the Orinoco
are believed TO have been drowned.
The German ship sustained the
most damage, the loss being esti-
mated at 100000.
The damage to the Orinoco was
confined to her bows.
Both vessels remain in the road
stead here.
The Kaiser Wilhelm der Crosse
carried 25S first-class passengers, in
cluding Thos. Sammons, the Ameri-
can consul general at Niuchwang,
and Jay White. the American consul
general at Bogota, Colombia, recent
ly consul at Hanover. There were
also on board $50 second-class and
700 third-class passengers.

In half a century 522
heroes who faced death in
battle at terrible odds have
been decorated by Enelands
monarch

The golden jubilee Of the institution
of the famous Victoria Cross has re.
Gently been observed in Great Britain.
The NEST thrilling romances fail to
equal the true stories of how the cross
has been won. TO the present 522
awards to officers and men in the vari-
Gus branches Of the military and naval
services have been made. 1t Is per-
haps the only personal decoration in
the world that has been awarded to
Gead heroes, for it Is matter of rec
ord that in a dozen cases. at least. the
inspiring cross has been Won at the
cost of life itself. In such instances
the hero is gazetted and the cross Is
given to his family.
There is little to admire in the deco
ration itself. Its very plainness and
simplicity, however, seem compatible
with the modest heroism it signifies
The cross measures one and One-tifth
inches square. weighs about 434 grains
and is Of bronze, being cast from cannon
captured by the British at Sebastopol.
1t is attached by n Y to n bar upon
which is Il sprig of laurel. On the
diverse side the royal crown, surmount
ed hy Il lion, occupies the center. with a
scroll underneath bearing the words.
For Nalour.' The reverse Is quite
plain. with an indcnted circle in the CEN
ter. in which the date or dates Of the
act Of bravery are engraved. At the
back of the bar is the name Of the re-
Il rbbon-blue for the navy. red for
the army. The warrant establishing
the decoration authorizes n bar to be
attached TO the ribbon for any further
act Of conspicuous bravery on the part
of the owner of the cross, but. It Is
stated, no such bar has ever yet been
issued. 1t might be Of interest to
note that the intrinsic value of the
little badge is said to be four pence
ha'penny. or about nine cents.
At the time Queen Victoria found
ed the decoration by her royal war
rant of Jan. %, 1896. the Crmean war
was being fought with much tenacity
The poet laureate. Tennyson. had made
famous the charge at Balaklava in his
memorable dramatic stanZas. The dis
patches from the front related in Of
fetal language many deeds Of signal
bravery under terrific fire both in the
army and navy. The Queens war
rant relates that taking into our royal
consideration that there exists no
means of adequately rewarding the In
dividual gallant services either Of Off
GERS of the lower grades in our naval
and military service, or of warrant and
petty officers. seamen and marines In
our navy, and noncommissioned officers
and soldiers in our army etc, the new
decoration is instituted.

CHAPTER XVIII.

The morning so anxiously expected nv
the inmates of Boonesborougn dawned
brightly and clearly at length; anon a
few random shots from the enemy told
that they were also astir. Presently the
firing ceased, and Girty once more hailed
the fort. Captain Du Quesne, he went
on to state, had few more words to
address to the infatuated people of
Boonesborough. Some of the young WON
en- belonging to the station. had, unfor.
tunately, fallen into the hands of his
friends. the Mamis; the names of these
captives as follows: Rosalthe Aston,
Matilda Fleming and Eliza Ballard;
all of whom would be put to death,
providing the station did not Immediately
surrender Internationally. Captain Du
Quesne had seen an Intimate friend of
Mr. Alsten, whose name was lie Bland,
who entreated him in most earnest man
ner to advise Captain Boone to yield
without delay.
These. Girty added. were the last Of
fers Du Quesne would make. and he
would allow them half an hour to think
of them.
Captain Boone replied that they did
not wish to think Of such a proposition
for a moment, and Captain Du Quesne
was at liberty to do his worst without
delay. Moreover if he (Girty) appeared
before them again he would be instantly
shot down, if he stood under as many
flags as he could hold up.
This reply sent the notorious white
man off In n great rage. and the plo.
neers perceived by the unusual hustle

self of the permission, and with the flag
which Reynolds had used, presented
himself to the enemy in a conspicuous
place and signitied his desire to commu-

leader of the expedition. After some

Du Quesne reluctantly appeared and de-
manded to know what was wanted.
since all his merciful overtures had been
rejected.
Il wish to say that I know you. and
knowing you, hold you in the deepest

HOW TO TELL A BAD RAIL.
