MOVING FOOTPATHs
PLANNED FOR Paris

PARIS. Oct. 12.-schemes of all kinds
for the Improvement of means of transit
in Paris are from time to time brought
under the notice of the Municipal Coun-
ell. They vary from "twopenny tubes to
aeropanes The latest, however, is dis
tinctly novel. A well-known engineer, the
inventor of the moving platform, which
was the source of so much wonder at the
last Paris Exhibition, proposes adapting
this principle to section of the Paris
footpaths.
He suggests that portion of each Of
the footpaths in the principal thorough
fares for say, third Of their width,
should be fitted with this travelling plat
form. He has SO much faith in his inven-
ton that he has offered to fit up the foot.
path for the entire length OF the Avenue
de IOpera il the Council will provide him
with the necessary labor. 1t is intended
to rail off the perambulating footway;
there would be points of ingress and
egress. ana by charging n small fee the
municipal authorities could easily recoup
themselves for the cost Of construction.
Several OF the councillors view the scheme
favorably.

VIENNA, Oct. IL.
A remarkable murder trial began here
today, the sequel to the murder in Leipsic
on January 16, 1904. OF Paul Hartman. man
ager Of an insurance company, whose body
was not found until January, 1906 Then.
following the arrest for fraud OF man
named Hoffman,. Adalbert Blecha con-
fessed that his brother Franz, With HofY-
mann, committed the murder and hid tho
body In the court OF n house In Dresden.
Hoffman, at first denied this. but was
taken by the police to the spot. AS the
body was dug up a decayed hand seemed
to point at Hoffman,, and broken down
by this CHASTITY sight he confessed that he
chloroformed the victim. who was then
strangled by Frank Blecha, man of
giant strength. They got only $500 as the
result of robbing the victims office.
Blecha was later arrested in Vienna for
burglary, sentenced to six years impris-
onment, but sent to an asylum as mad.
Hoffman, was recently tried in Vienna.
and the death sentence was committed to
penal servitude for life. Blecha was tried
today. because the doctors affirm that he
is only pretending madness.
There was remarkable scene when he
was confronted with Hoffman,. Blecha
said that Hoffman, confessed to a crime
he never committed. A certain Johann
Pawllk, who later died In Jail. was the
murderer.
Hoffman,: ut is untrue. When Blecha
communicated the murder plot to me,
replied, delighted"
Blecha: HE lies. But If he likes 1 will
say that am the murderer. One Is
enough for the gallows-he or l."
Hoffmapn affirmed that both were guilty.
and Blecha exclaimed again that Hoff-
mann knew nothing of the deed.

The affairs of Princess Louise of Bel
GUM viii shortly occupy the attention
Of the Vienna and Paris courts.
1t is stated that the princess has run
up debts of nearly $1,0OO,oO0. She re-
ceives $4,000 year from her father
King Leopold of Belgium, and $4,000
from Prince Philip OF Coburg. Both
have refused to give her penny more
The king recently wrote in a letter
received in Vienna: 81 fear my daugh-
ter Louise will some day die OF hunger
If she goes on piling up debts"
A syndicate is being formed to liqui-
date the princess debts. Her note OF
hand is now worth only 10 per cent. OF
its nominal value, and her jewelry and
furs are nearly all in pawn in Vienna
The Princess Louise, who is the eld-
est daughter Of King Leopold, was mar
rlcd to Prince Philip in 1875, when she
was IL years of age.
Her married life was very unhappy
and In 1895 she made tho acquaintance
of Count Mattachich Keglevitch and
cloped with him.
