SPOKE HIS OWN DOOM.
In Spite of His Caution an Innocent
Remark Condemned Him.


The father OF Gueau de Reverseaux
had been a distinguished lawyer, and
through his influence he held impOr-
tant offices under the government.
When the revolution began he gave up
his Office at la Rochelle and retired to
Chartres.
From the time that the revolution
began Gueau de Reverseaux devoted
hrs attention exclusively TO preserving
his own safety. He wrote no letters.
III would receive no letters. He saw
no visitors and paid no visits. He
spoke TO no person and allowed no one
10 come near him. It would have been
impossible TO be more prudent than he
was.
However. he wanted some sheds built
on his farm near Chartres and ven
tured to consult n carpenter. The car
penter told him that he could not un-
dertake the work Immediately, as
Gueau de Reverseaux wished, because
most OF his workmen were drafted TO
Join the army at once.
Gueau de Reverseaux replied: "The
worlmen need not 90. They can send
substitutes"
This remark was heard by the work
men, but only the first phrase made
any impression on them. They reported
everywhere that NJ. Gueau de Rever-
seaux, who must be good authority,
had said that they need not 20. The
news went to headquarters that Gueau
de Reverseaux declared that the draft
ed workmen need not obey the gov
ernment. This was considered 10 be
conspiracy, and he was condemned TO
death and executed.

tolls would hardly have served for this
purpose, each aeronaut took blunder-
buss in his car.
At given signal the ropes holding
the balloons were cut. and up they
went into the air. The wind was
nearly moderate and kept the balloons
in their respective positions. about
eighty yards apart. When about half

the car descended with frightfui rapid

dashed to pieces.
De Grandpre continued his ascent
and terminated his aerial voyage at a
distance of seven leagues from Paris.
History does not state whether he was
rewarded by the hand Of the lady for
whose sake the duel had been fought.

GA..LOWS BEFORE
CONDEMNED MAN
SUPREME COURT REFUSES GER.
TIORARI TO LEE TEMPLE
NEGRO RAPiST.

NASHVILLE, Dec. 17.-Practical
ly the last hope for Leo Temple, con
demned negro rapist, sentenced to
hang Thursday, was shattered Mon
day when the supreme court in an
opinion delivered by Judge Lansden,
refused to grant the writ of certicra-
ri which would have had the effect
of bringing the case proper before
the higher court as if direct ap-
peal had been taken.
Temple has thrice stood in the
shadow of the gallows, but received
respites by the governor, the first
time in order that the latter might
go over the record himself, the second
because of the request of certiorari
in the case, and the third time in or
der that the supreme court might
have further time to consider the ap-
plication for the writ. The chances
are exceedingly slim that the chief
executive will grant further clemen-
cy to the negro He will, however,
review the record again, to be sure
that nothing has been overlooked.

are suddenly aroused, as the picture

FIRE INSPECTION
BEGINS WEDNESDAY
REGULAR DISTRICT
BOARD TO DECIDE ON .CHARAc.
TER OF Work AND PROCEED
WITH INSPECTION.
MAY EXAMINE THE RESIDENCES
Occupants of Property Can Very Ma
teriaIly Aid the inspection by Civ
ing Out All information in Their
Possession to officials.

The regular inspection of the fire
district, which includes the shopping
or mercantile district of the city, will
possibly begin Wednesday, This will
be decided by the fire committee OF
the municipal board this afternoon or
sSnght, and as soon thereafter as the
arrangements can be made Inspector
sriel will! begin the work.
All pafsies located in the district
mentioned can aid very materially in
this duty If they will by cleaning up
and lending hand by giving the in
spector Jail the information in their
Dossessih in order that he may pro,
coed with more accuracy and more
efficiently, and at the same time more
rapidly. This will be done. doubtless,
If the occupants of the property hap
pen to think of it, and this publica-
ton is partly as a reminder. In addi-
ton to the inspection of the cellars
and storage room where there is any
particular danger of fire hazard it
may be that the insulation OF the
electric wiring may be examined, And
should this be decided upon it will
be rather tedious task without the
cooperation of the merchants.
There is a possibility that follow
ing the inspection of the fire district,
as it is known, that there will be a
general inspection of the residences
OF the city
The work will be completed as rap
idly as possible as soon as the board
decides upon the character of the in
spection to be had, and it is expected
to be completed before Saturday night
OF this week
