After spending some time there he proceeded to the Palais de Commerce, where a banquet was given In Ms honor. At 9:25 President Carnot Started for the theater, where a gala performance was to be given because «f his presence in the city. Several carriages were in the procession, the first one being: occupied by the Presi­ dent. M. Garnot's carriage was driven •lowly along in front of the Palais de Commeroe, and then turned into Rue ii"'1 i 11 imsm , ^e la Republique, still following the - facade of the palace. When half way iflQWn the street, which was lined with N^nthusiastio crowds of people, who were loudly cheering, a man rushed ' cut of the crowd and sprung upon the ^fctep of the President's landau. , Ju6tat this moment M. Carnot was . waving his right hand and saluting with his hat in his left hand in re- , §ponse to the ovation that was being given him.

By the glare of the electric lights they ~ taw the bright blade gleam in the air ^ lis the assassin's arm descended, and President Carnot was seen to fall back In his seat, his face deathly pale. One <Df his hands was pressed over his ' heart wnere the steel had entered the body. . - M. Rivaud, prefect of Lyons, who •was seated beside M. Carnot, imme* \ cliately struck the assassin a blow full '"Jn the face and knocked him from the ' Step, thus preventing the man from £igain stabbing the President, which it was his evident intention to do. Instantly cries of "The President i3 Assassinated!" "Death to the assassin!" were heard on every side, and the •crowd in the vicinity of the carriage swelled to enormous proportions, every member of it seemingly intent upon killing the assassin. He was grasped by a dozen hands, and his life would have then and there paid the forfeit ..of his crime had it not been for a jBquad of cavalry. A cordon was formed around the po­ licemen and tne captive and the march to the police station began. Even thus surrounded the prisoner was not safe, lor men in the crowd made frantic en­ deavors to reach him. The guards re­ pelled these attacks with the flat bides of their swords, while at the same time keeping watchful eyes upon the crowd to prevent the prisoner from being shot. Maledictions were hurled upon the captive, and never before has such wild indignation against a human being been seen in the city. Santo, the assassin, is a beardless man -2 years old. When questioned by Prefect Lepin at the police station his replies were given coolly, but without any sign of bravado. He refused, however, to answer any of the many questions put to him regarding his motive for stab­ bing the President, declaring that on this sub ect he would speak only before a tribunal. When he was searched by the police a book was found in one of his pockets, in which it was written that he was born in a village in the province of Milan, Italy. AH over the city threats were made to take sum­ mary vengeance upon the countrymen of Santo, and the authorities, j earing that attempts would be made to put these threats into effect, ordered bodies of cuirassiers to patrol the city to pre­ vent any outbreak. The receipt of the news of the assas­ sination caused a great sensation at the Grand Theater, which was filled to the walls by the elite of Lyons. The theater presented a brilliant scene, the handsome toilets of the ladies being offset by the gay uniforms of the many military offlcsrs present. All were awaiting with impatience the arrival of the President, and were un­ able to understand the delay. Sud­ denly a man entered the theater, cry­ ing at the top of his voice: "The President has been assassinated!" The most intense excitement followed this abrupt announcement. _ Women screamed, and several fainted. Many men, without waiting to secure their hats, ran out of the building in order to confirm the news. They found all the streets leading to the palace filled with excited throngs, ,ani in a few minutes they were cjnvinced that the report of the cowardly attempt upon the iife of the f resident was true. Indignation at the Capital. The first news of the attempt upon the life of President Carnot was re­ ceived in Paris with many expressions of doubt, but later when dispatches began to pour in describing; in detail the act of the assassin, doubt could no longer prevail. Then came the brief dispatch announcing that M. Carnot was dead. A correspondent says that to describe the varied emotions that filled the minds of the Parisians would be impossible. In many instances of­ ficials seen bv the representative of the Associated Press were too much overcome by the suddenness of the dis­ aster to express any opinion as to the results that would follow the act of the assassin. Others, while expressing the deepest regret at the death of the President, were chary of iriving any publicity to their political opiniohs. But among the great class outside of the officials nothing but deep sorrow and indignation at the cowardly blow that had deprived France of her executive were expressed. Many per­ sons believe that the crime was the work of an irresponsible "crank" whose { " 4 % •' VV i ; l v * limited, noon the Senate and Chamber o| Deputies will meet in joint session to elect his successor. News Received In Washington. The news of Csrnot's aw^slnatiou, created a pronounced sensation in Washington; particularly in official circles was the tragedy keenly felt and most intelligently discussed. Presi­ dent Cleveland, the Vice President, Secretary Gresham, the French minis­ ter, and other officials were given the news by the Associated Press reporters and learned it from them, for n > offi­ cial dispatches were received. Without exception they were deeply affected and expressei their regret in strong terms. To French^Ambassador Pater- notre the announcement was a great shock, coming as it did at a time when the internal and foreign affairs of France are in a peaceable state. There was much speculation over whether the assassination had any political signifi­ cance or was the deed of an irrespons­ ible crank. The trend of opinion was toward the latter Lelief. Foreign rep­ resentatives and officials acquainted with French politic* say that Carnot wa-; essentially a safe man, one whom .the French people relied upon, while they did not gush over him or accord to n im the dramatic following the# have given leaders of the stripe oi Boulanger. - • X.1FK AMD SERVICES OF CABNOT. Bald Many Posts of Honor Under th# French Government. i M. Marin Francois Sadl-Caroot, who vil elected by the National Congress at Ver* •allies in 1887 to succeed SL Jules Grev/ as President of the French Republic, was at that time considerably younger than any of his three predecessors, havlpg been born In 1837 at, Limoges. The son and grandson of most distinguished reppblican •talesmen, be Was brought up as a civil engineer, and watt graduated with the highest honors ai the Ecole Polytechniqus In 1857 and subsequently at the famous Ecole des Fonts et Cbausee* in 186% After having acted as government enf' gineer In several provincial districts he1 w-as in 1871 appointed prefect of the Seine department, which lucluden the civil governorship of Paris and It* suburbs, and took a prominent part in organising thi national defense against the German in*, vaders. A'few months later he was elect*# by ihe Cote-d'Or district to represent thetif in the National Assembly, and after tak*. ing his seat became the organizing secref tary of the Republican left party in the Chamber. In 1874 he was elected by th£ inhabitants of the district of Beaune to represent their interests in Parliament In 1878 ho was appointed Under Secretary of State for the Ministry of Public Works, in 1880 he became Minister of the same de­ partment in the Cabinet of M. Jules Ferry. On the resignation of the latter In 1885 he was reappointed to the same Ministry in M. Henri Brisson's Cabinet, and on the resignation of li. Clatnargerau a few months later he succeeded him as Minister of Finance, an office which he likewise held in the Goblet Ministry. Besides being one of the foremost civil engineers of France, M. Sadi-Carnot was a distinguished political economist and a fervent admirer of the late John Stuart Mill, of who-ae works he has published a French translation. His skill in dealing with intricate questions of national finance resulted In hi-* being reieatedly elected member of the Parliamentaiy Budget Com­ mittee. President Carnot was one of the few French statesmen of the present day whose past history is absolutely unimpeachable, and whose political and private character was untarnished by any kind of blemish His wife, who is a charming and most tal­ ented woman, is the daughter of the late M. Dupont- White, the distinguished politi­ cal economist and French prototype of John Stuart Mill. Mme.

The tug James D. Nichol, with sixty- three excursionists and a crew number­ ing ten or twelve, was swamped at 1 o'clock Sunday afternoon, some three miles off the Highlands, New York. Fifty four of tht Be on board have been accounted for. The rest were pro bat) y drowned. The tug left Fifth street and East River at 7:30 o'clock in the morning, touched at pier 3, East River, and then went on to the fishing grounds. She had, it is said, a license to carry fifty passengers, but sixty- three tickets were sold. There was a bar and a lunch counter on board, whose attendants, with the crew, brought the whole number on board up to about seventy-five. The tug reaehed the banks on time, but the fishing was poor and the sea top r^ugh for com- lort, and at noon she started back. When three miles east of the High­ lands and about south of Scotland lightship the waves be^an to break heavily over her starboard rail. To dodge the water and wind the passen­ gers began to run around to the port side ana to climb on t >p of the deck­ house. The boat careened alarmingly to port and the water swept in over the rail. The terror-stricken men rushed back to starboard and the tuar swung deeply down on that side. At the same moment three heavy waves struck the boat in quick succession. The captain, William H. Piatt, stucc pluckily to hia post and sounded the whistle in a pro­ longed scream for help. Even as ha did so the tug filled with the water that poured into her from tjpth sides and sank out of sight in the water. She went down like a stone, carrying many of her passengers with her. TARRED AND FEATHERED. Adjt. Gen. Tareney, of Colorado, Boufhl) Treated by Masked Kldnaprrs. Adit. Gen. Ta^snev, who was kid­ naped at Coloralo Springs, Colo., by unknown masked men, was found at Palmer Lake, twenty-live miles from Colorado Springs, and taken to Denver on a special train. He had been tarred and feathered, and, although some­ what dazed by his rough treatment, was not seriously hurt. Shortly before 1 o'clock in the morn­ ing a bogus telephone call was made for Adjutant General Tarsney, cf the State inilitia, at £ho Alamo hotel. When Mr. Tarsney came down stairs he was confronted by a masked man with two revolvers, seven more . men bein<* in the background. Tarsney cried for help, but was quickly clubbed into submission with a revolver. He was carr.ed to a clo-ed carriage in waiting an3 raoidly driven to Austin Bluffs at the city limits. Arriving on the open prairie at Austin Bluffs, Tarsney was removed from the car­ riage, stripped nude and a coat oi tar and feathers administeted and he was warned not to return to Colorado Springs.

A storm of wind, rain, and lightning passed over the section in the vioinity of Aledo, IiL*, causing considerable damage and loss of life. The barn of I*. C. Detwiler was struck by lightning and burned; 9200; no insurance. An inner wall of the new1* courthouse in course of construction here was blown down. The Rev. H. T. Fergu­ son, pastor of the United Presbyterian Church at Sunbeam, while unharness­ ing a horse, was instantly killed by lightning, the bolt also kilting his horse, Btunning his son, and igniting the barn, which was burned. Frank Harvey and his wife were milking, when lightning killed Harvey and stunned his wife. Two cows were kil!e l. The wind did considerable damage to fruit snd shade trees in all parts of the county. The heavy rain which ac­ companied the storm did much, how­ ever, to offset the damage, as it was badly .needed. At Elwood, IndL, the Quick City Iron and Steel Works, in course of erection, were utterly de­ stroyed by the terrific . windstorm. They were wrecked a month ago by a storm, bat were being rebuilt. The damege is estimated at- $ 10,0C0. A hailstorm visited the southeastern j>ortion of Huntington County, Ind., 'and resulted in a great devastation of <srops. On a number of farms there is a total loss of wheat, oats, corn, and ffrass. A conservative estimate by fccteage places the loss of crops at $50^» ©00. At East Tawas, Mich., a severe hall and rain storm occurred. Light­ ning struck the Lumber-tmery Mill flock, and the shock knocked several Eien in the mill down. Gardens were adly damaged by heavy rains. A e»vy hailstorm at Davenport, Iowa, aid bare the fields in many portions of Scott County. Field crops and small rults suffered to the extent of thou- ands of dollars, cattle were stamped- Jd, and chickens killed. At Creston, owa, during a thunderstorm, Osoar Watson, aged 17, was struck by lights toing and killed. ^ • i* . .V? r: there are completely paralyzed. On other systems trouble at the terminals has made it impossible to handle out­ going or incoming trains, and local traffic is suspended. On still other roads trains are arriving and depart­ ing from suburban terminal stations and all are more or less delayed by the strike of yard and switching employes. The roads more ot less affected by the boycott, according to telegraphic ad­ vices, are the following: iNoriberu Pacitic. , H Chicago and' North western.

A Chicago dispatch says: The first passenger train due to leave East on the Baltimore & Ohio Thursday could not leave on account qI being unable to couple on an engine. Forty police were sent to the yards. At the request of the railway employes in the tJast, twenty-five men were sent out by the American Railway Uunlon to day to aid in organizing in that part of the country. These men are bound for New York and will begin work among the employes of the New York Central. Engineers and fireman on all roads centering in Chicago are greatly incensed at the discharge of the four engineers by the North­ western Road, and decisive action on their part in aiding the general strike is looked for. E. A. Bancroft, repre­ senting the Santa Fe system, applied to the United States authorities in the name of the receiver for protection to his read against interference by the strikers. Four engineers of the Chicago and Northwestern Railway were' arrestel, charged with intimidation. The American Railway Union engaged attornevs to defend them. Owing to the strike of the switchmen on the Panhandle, the trains of that road have been brought in over the tracks of the Fort Wayne road. Threats to tie up the latter road and even the entire Pennsylvania system grew largely out of this fact. Action against the Fort Wayne will also involve the Chicago and Alton road, as both come into the city over the same tracks. Everything was blocked after midnight last night at the Western avenue yards of the Northwestern, Milwaukee and St.Paul and Panhandle roads. hvery Pullman car on the line of the Chicago, Milwaukee and St. Paul Rail­ road was side-tracked by the manage­ ment of the road, and Prendent Debs of the American Railway Union marked down victory No. 1.

Nashville--Neither the Louisville & Nashville nor the Nashville, Chatta­ nooga & St. Louis Railway ha e expe­ rienced any trouble in connection with the boycott on Pullman cars. Helena, Mont.--At 0 o'clock last night, all A. R. U. men on the North­ ern Pacific Road went out on an order from President Debs. The entire line in this State, branches and all, are tied up. Cleveland--None of the roads lead­ ing into this city have so far been ai ected W the Pullman boycott, and railway officials express the belief that no action will be taken by the local or­ ganization of the A. R. U. Pueblo, Colo.--Pueblo's two lodges of the A. R U. have voted to carry out the boycott on Pullman sleepers, mak­ ing it apply to all roads entering here. Employes refuse to couple the sleepers. The sheriff was applied to for assist­ ance. Trinidad, Col.--The anti-Pullman strike is on here. At 12 o clock last night the operators at Raton, Las Vegas and Albuquerque could not be raised, and shortly afterward the operators here quit work. The switch­ men have stopped work. St. Joseph, Mo.--There is no trouble among railroad men in this city. All sleeping cars start from other places along the lire3 and would be stopped before reaching hero. The A. R U. is very strong in this city, however, and the men will obey orders from the officers of that organisation. Duluth, Minn.--There is trouble here to day on the Northwestern and Northern Pacific roals. Tne switch­ men of both roads are a'l out and the flour mills will i-oon be forced to shut down. The strike is on account of the u*e of Pullmnas on both roads. Tfce Northern Pacific has not turned a wheel since midnight at both Duluth and Superior. Denver--An injunction granted by Judge Hallett against the Santa Fe employes restrains them from intarfer- ing with the operators of trains and enjoins them to obey the orders of the representative? of the receivers in moving, handling, switching and oper­ ating all cars and trains of the Santa Fe or under its control. Topeka-The Santa Fe system is now in the hands of the United States Court in fact. On Ithe application of the receivers, Judge C. G. Foster of the United States Court this moraine signed an order directing United States Marshal Neeley to protect all property and trains of the Santa Fe In Kansas." Marshal Neeley is ordered to- arrest all persons interfering with the trains or property of the company. "%LbMb$ op LOCusTi: ,««'v Wuions * Iwarmlaf •T Them Are Now Over New Jersey.

A group of genttaman, mostly from Dixie, were discussing certain phases of the institution of slpyefy as it existed in (heir region, at one of the downtown betels, says the Washington Post The faithtnloeaa of the black man to his master was heartily attested by those present, nearly nil of whom had owned slaves. "There never was a more loyal subject than the old-time plantat on darky," said Major George Griffin ot Columbus, Ga. -'The percentage of slaves who tried to gain their free­ dom by running away was very small, which was the best p oofv of their contented lot. My father had emi­ grated .rorn South Carolina to Georgia, bringing with him about thirty negroes, in themselves consti­ tuting a respectable fortune. He was a thrifty planter, and, with the aid of his colored vassals, his worldly possessions increased rapidly. Among the number was a great, strapping fellow named Dan, who irom the fact of his ability to do about twice the work of an average hand and also for his good disposition, was a prime favorite on the place. Dan was really the pet of the family. He Could shuck more corn and pick more cot­ ton than any .of his colleagues, and withal was as amiable as a child. One summer night Dan left his cabin and walked up to the 'big house' as the servants styled the residence of their owner. He found my father seated oa the veranda smoking his pipe, and, coming to him, said, 'Mars George, I've got a favor to ax of yon.' " 'Well, what is it, Dan?1 " 'You knows I've a twin brother back in ^out Caliny. dat 1 ain't seed in eleven years, 1 wants you to let me go on a little visit to see Reuben, for I thinks a heap of dat boy.' ,4Well, the upshot of it was that the necessary consent was given. There was no railroad clo-ei than At­ lanta, but Dan thought little of walking that distance. When the day came for him to start he was the happiest mortal on earth. Father gave him a nice suit of clothes and plenty of pocket money. He was to be back in six weeks. Some of our neighbors prophesied that we had seen the last of Dan. but not so. 1 recollect the night wneu he came down the road whistling a merry tune. He had enjoyed a great time with his brother, and the six weeks was up to a day.M ^ 4; reached Chicago. It is made up of five Pullman sleepers, and these are held near Hammond.

The entire day crews on the Milwau­ kee and St. Paul and Pan Handle roads have quit work, and there is not a wheel turning under any passenger car on either road that is not manned by officials. The men are in an ug ly mood and violence is predicted. There a?» said to be only two Pullman cars on the i train from Chicago, is "tied up. sel Fields telegraphed to know if Judge Baker is in the city, as the company proposes to proceed against the strikers for interfering with the mails.

When within a few feet of the smokestack of the locomotive the engineer blew the whistle and Bent a cloud of steam toward the locusts. The insects made a sharp swerve to the east and flew to a mountain back of Pompton Lake. Many of them were drawn into the train by the rush of the wind, while others were hurled against the locomotive and cars and scattered dead about the tracks. The passengers caught the few that en­ tered the car windows and no doubt took them home as curiosities. On another ocoasion locusts took pos­ ses ion of a train near Avenel, and for a time the»\j was every prospect of the passengers having to abandon the coaches and let the locusts retain them. The heat had caused almost every win­ dow to be opened, and when the train came to Avenel the past-enters leaned out to look at the buhdrt d* of thous­ ands of the locusts on the ground and in the air.
