Ghastly Reminders of the Tragic Past Found in a Museum Lately Estab- lished by the Prefect of Police.

PARIS, Aug 1S-Among the mos+ interesting but least visited of the many museums of Paris, is that recent ly opened at police headquarters on the initiative of Louis Lepine, the popular prefect of police.
 The interesting relics include many of great historic interest. and the revo- lutionary epoch furnishes a large share. Side by side are the warrants for the arrest of the celebrated cham ist Lavoisier. for whom the Republic had no use" and Madame du Barry. In another case is the document relat ing to the arrest of the actors and act resses of the Theater Francais, July 3, l793, among them the celebrated act resses Lange and RaucOurt about whose famous charms the auStere de scription of the accused" is character istically silent.
 A cynical official has grouped to- gether the warrants for the arrest of the GirOndius Vergniaude, Valaze and Geusonne. who left their cells only to appear before the revolutionary tribu- nal and the inevitable sequel, the scaf- fold. al signed Hermann, and the doc ument which in turn sent Hermann himself to the guillOtine a few days later
 A little further on is the prison en- try of Damien, the frightful assassin of our beloved king, Louis XV.." to- gether with those of Jehan Chastel, who attempted to assassinate Henry IV, and of Ravaillac, who succeeded in doing so.
 Among celebrated crimes and crim- inals whose memories finger here are the dreadful pOisoners, the Marquise de Brinvilliers and her associates, the documents of whose trials jostle those relating to the celebrated affair of the Queens necklace, which shook the thrOns of Louis XVI
 Here, too, are the papers dealing with Cartouche, Mandrin and the Ly- Ons Mail.
 Among the entries in the register of the cOnciergerie. preserved in another case, are those relating to the arrest of Chevalier de la Barre tried and exc cuted in 1766 for refusing to uncover his head before the sacrament, carried in procession. Revolutionary heroes supply long list of entries: Camille DesmOulins. Danton. the poet Andre Chenier Generals Hoche and Sonterre and Madame Roland.

It is understood that the secuIarized monastery of the Grande Chartreuse is shortly to be classed as historical monument" which will secure it's pre- servatiOr by the action of the govern ment In the meantime, as the roof of the edifice is falling into disrepair, the minister of the interior. at the urgent instance of the president of the senate, Antonin Dubost, and Germain Perier, deputy. has opened a credit of $2,4O0 for the necessary work.
 In 1903, immediately after the expul- sion of the Carthusians. the council general of the department of the Isere, addressed a petition to the government asking that the monastery should be ciassed among the historic monuments of France It was also suggested that it might be utilized as a museum of geology, forestry and zoology, with botanic garden, laboratory and obser- vatOry. Lodgings were to be provided for French and foreign students of the flora, mineralOgy and geology of the French Alps, and the institution was to be affiliated to the University of GrenOble.
 Leon Bourgeois. minister of labor, has tabulated statistics up to July l, 0f the number of persons who have regis tered themselves for Old-age insurance in accordance with the terms of the law of 1910 as amended in February, 1912 According to returns received from prefects of departments, the num- Der of persons under obligation to in sure now registered is 7,029,008, or an increase of 273,930 since the previous quarter day, April 1. The numner ot registered persons who had an option of insurance is now 593,450 or an in crease of 16S,729 upon the figures for April 1. The number of persons in France under an obligation to insure is about twelve millions.
 The government, it is understood, re- gards the returns of July 1 as fairly satisfactory in view of the fact that it has not been possible to apply actual compulsion owing to an adverse decis- ion of the Court of Cessation. A new bill making insurance effectively com pulsory for the working classes is to be introduced in the chamber next ses- sion, and it will have every prospect of passing. It is in view of this situation that the date for the practical appli . cation of compulsion was postponed till January. 1913.
 The new insurance law amendment bill, it is believed. will not propose to proceed against defaulters by public prosecution Defaulters are not to be brought before the juctice of the peace; they are to receive a summons from the prefect and are to be proceeded against in the same private fashion as those who neglect to pay their taxes. The government. however, expects that the advantages conferred by the amend ment law of February 27, 1912-i. e. re- duction of the pension age from 65 to 60 and increase of the government grant to each pensioner from SIP to $20-will continue to have an excellent effect in inducing the working classes to take advantage of the act withou. compulsion. and that the remaining five millions.> or the greater part of them, will soon come in.

Three runaways, one serious in

Michael Zylka's team attached to a
coach engaged to carry wedding
party to Keasbey, ran away and
crashed into the drug store window

to Coal Strike.

But one dock is now in use for
shipping coal from the Lehigh Val
ley wharves In the northern part of
this city and men employed there
are working but half time. Ship
ments have been materially de-
creased because of id1eness In the
coal mining regions, one official of
the Lehigh Valley company stated
this afternoon. He said shipments
had been reduced to- a considerably
greater extent than is customary for
this time of the year. Some of the
railroad employees predict q total
suspension Of operations on the coal
wharves IN short time unless

WILL Get BIDS
FOR 10 WELLS
Water Board to Increase
Supply at Runyon.

Several new wells will shortly be
driven at the Runyon pumping sta
tiOn to replace q number which have
become useless and others which are
decreasing In yield The Board of
Water Ommissioners met in special
session last night and passed a
motion instructing the city engineer
to prepare plans and specifications
for driving ten or more wells in the
north leg of the ground storage sys-
tenn at the city's pumping station at
Runyon. It Is proposed to adyer-
tise Immediately and receive bids
for the same at $50 o'clock We'd
nesday night, May 8. Engineer
Mason will prepare the necessary
plans and specifications, have them
approved by the commissioners and
advertise for ten days.
Cost of Installation.
The water commissioners last
night received some information
about wells Of various types, of their
cost for installation and of the cost
for repairing old wells from George
b. Kissner, an experienced well
driver Of Belmar who has done work
at Runyon. Mr.. Kissner was ques-
toned extensively about a screen for
the end of wells, which he had
patented He said he would sell his
patented screen for about SO foot,
would install new wells for $500
and would repair old ones for about
5000 each.
According to City Engineer Mason
a dozen or more of the wells which
have been in use for the past six
years or so in the north leg OF the
ground storage system have ceased
to yield and thereby incurred a loss
of about 100000 gallons Of water
a day. This, the commissioners have
learned through Mr.. Mason and by
examination of removed we'll pipe,
has been caused by Corrosion and
clogging OF ends of the pipes. In
one section of pipe extracted wire
gauze screen was corroded and was
useless, and in the upper section OF
the same pipe and screen had be-
come clogged and useless by iron
and other sediment.
Trouble is With Screens.
It is apparent that the wells are
otherwise in good condition and
| that the yield would not be impaired
were It not for trouble with the
screens. For this reason the com
missioners have been considering
propositions to have screens re
moved with as little cost as possible
| They have found the cost Is nearly
as great as that for a new we'll. Last
night they discussed the adyisability
of purchasing or engaging apparatus
to do well repairing. Engineer
Mason suggested the purchase Of
such apparatus and the permanenl
engagement of an experienced wei
driver, to care for wells now In use
/ and drive new ones.
