A CRISIS IN FRANCE. i
Resignation of the Members of
President Carnot's Cabinet.
The Government Beaten on a MoI
tion to Revise the Constitution,
( The trouble which the French Government
hak been having with General Boulanger,
late War Minister, has resulted in a victory
for him and the'enforced retirement of
President Carnot's Cabinet. A Paris dispatch
gives the following particulars:
The Chamber of Deputies, by a vote of
268 to 237, despite the opposition 01 uu.ernment,
voted for urgency for the Extreme
Left bill providing for the Revision of the
Constitution. The Government thereupon
resigned.
AL Laguerre.a friend of General Boulanger,
proposed and M. Pelletan supported the
motion for urgency. In the course of the discussion
several Bonapartists declared that
they would support the demand in so far as
it was an appeal to the people. M. Baudry
d'Asson (Royalist) said that he would vote
for the proposal, hoping it would tend to restore
the legitimate monarch}', which alone
could save France. Minister Viette asked
the Chamber to await the return of Premier
Tirard from the Senate before deciding.
M. Brisson said he was opposed to revision,
and, alluding to Weneral Boulanger,
said that the satisfaction which
would be afforded by the adoption of the
measure ought not to be given to a person
who had attacked the institutions of the
country and talked of purging the Chamoer.
' M. Clenienceau favored revision, saying
that the Constitution was not iu accordance
with the principles of republican democracy.
Minister Sarrien urged the Chamber
to reject the demand, declaring that
it was essential that no new cause
of troubles and difficulties be added
to those already existing. M. Goblet thought
that revision of the Constitution would not
improve the situation, as the real remedy consisted
in having a Government supported by
the Republican majority aud capable of
withstanding the numerous factions,
t Premier Tirara, who had entered the House
during the debate, declared that he fully
agreed with M. Sarrien. If the Chamber decided
to consider the urgency proposal the
Ministry would decline all responsibility, as
such action on the part of the Chamber
would furnish a fresh argument in favor of
the audacious manifesto issued by the dismissed
General.
The defeat of the Ministry caused a sensation
in the Chamber. As soon as the vote
was announced M. Tirard departed for the
EJjsee Palace.
The unaniDer, alter a sam reuess, ic?sembled
at 9 p. m, M. Cuneo d'Ornano,
Bonapartist, movxl that the bureaus
to-morrow appoint a committee
to prepare for the revision of the
Constitution. After a confused debate, M.
de Sonnier of the Left urged the Chamber to
await the formation of a new Cabinet* M.
d'Ornano's motion was rejected by a vote of
253 to 195, the Right cheering ironically.
The Chamber then adjourned.
The Cabinet Council met at the Elvsee
Palace at 9 p. m. President Carnot accepted
the resignation of the Cabinet. The Ministers,
however, consented to conduct the
affairs of their several departments until
their successors would be appointed.

but Waldrop worked hard and secured a
conviction. Davis was sentenced to seven
years in the penitentary, f ad when the sentence
was pronounced he turned to Waldrop
and said: "I swear if I ever live to get out I'll
kill you.
No attention was paid to the threat and
Davis was conveyed to Chester, where he
served his term and was released laat week
under the good-time rule. Yesterday he returns
1 to Litchfield, but was only recognized
by a few people. This morning he called at
IValdrop's residence and asked to see Waldrop.
The latter,who is no longer connected
witn the administration of th3 law, stepped
to the door.
"Is your name Waldropf' asked Davi6.
"Yes, sir."
"My name is Tom Davis, and I've come to
kill you as I swore I would."
Before Waldrop could move, Davis fired
three times, killing him instantly on tho
threshold. The murderer fled, with a posse ]

demand that in all avocations in which both

A MINE HORROR,
An Explosion Causes a Frightful
Disaster in Missouri.
The most horrible mine disaster that has
ever occurred in the West happened at noon
Thursday in Keith & Perry's No. 6 mine,near
Rich Hill, Mo., and as a result a large number
of men were entombed and thousands of
dollars1 worth of property has been destroyed.
A dispatch says:
Just at dinner hour, when the men were
ascending eight at a time in the cage,
a rumbling noisa was heard, and a
moment later there was a fearful
explosion that entirely wrecked the
mine and buried in the debris over one hundred
miners, who were cutoff from all means
of escape. A score of bodies have already
been removed from the shaft, while fifteen !
others remain unaccounted for. It was im- j
nnssihla. in the midst of the terrible excite
ment, to obtain a complete list of names of
the unfortunates. The little village was
completely paralyzed by the horror, and men
and women were wandering about the streets
crying for the return of those known to be
in the bottom of the pit
The Superintendent of the mine was badly
injured, but alive when taken from the shaft, i
His face was horribly disfigured by the explosion,
and the flesh of his arms was torn in
shreds. The explosion occurred when the
full force of one hundred men were at work
in the mine. ~
Not one of the survivors has been able to
give any coherent story about the shock. The
earth seemed to snap, and the next instant all
was darkness.
Although the mine is six miles from town
the explosion shook every house. Nearly
every one seemed to divine its cause, for
the next moment saw the muddy streets
leading to the shaft fillled with bareheaded
women and children, who
screamed as they ran. Such scenes
as were witnessed at the mouth of the shaft
have no parallel in the Missouri coal fields. A
thousand people, for the most part women
and children in tattered clothes, were at the
pit filling the night air with their lamentations.
The work of recovering the bodies was
prosecuted with frantic haste, but the task
was so great as to be almost agonizing. The
bodies already removed from the pit show j
the terrific rorce or cne explosion, uoai
dust has been blown into the flesh of the
dead . until their bodies were absolutely
black. Some of the bodies are
frightfully mutilated. Arms, legs and eyes
havo, in some instances been blown out of
their sockets, while others of the unfortunates
have been so cruelly disfigured as to be unrecognizable.

A NOVEL UNDERTAKING.
A Hnge Hotel Moved Back from
the Sea at Coney Island.
The Structure Travels on 120 Flat
Cars, Drawn by Six Locomotives,
The Brighton Beach Hotel nt Coney Island,
New York's great seaside resort, has just
been moved back from the sea a distance of
550 feet in a novel manner. The Brighton
Beach Hotel is 468 feet long and 150 feet
wide, and is estimated to weigh 8,000,000
pounds. A half mile of manila rope, weighin
sr "?OO0 pounds, was used in the work of removal.
The hotel cost $200,000 and was furnished

remain where it was it would have been undermined
and engulfed by the encroaching
sea probably within the year.
A large number of flat cars?120 in allwere
built specially for the work, and the
hotel was raised from i's foundations and
placed on the cars.the wheels of which rested
on twenty-four tracks. Eight powerful locomotives
were attached by strong cables
to the twenty-four trains of flat carson which
the structure rested.
The twenty-four tracks were very short
ones, and as the care passed along the rear
rails were taken up ana relaid ahead. This
process was continued till the 550 feet were
covered. If the total length of the twenty
four tracks were stretched out end to end it
would form three and a half miles of single
track. It was estimated that it would take
ten days to finish the journey of 550
fest, and that the expense would be
$20,00.0. The New \ork Post gives
the following account of the way in which
the removal was begun;
At 9 o'clock a. m. everything was in readine<5s
to move the big hotel back out of the
clutches of the sea. The pul!eys were all in
nlaceand the roDes were all taut. Everybody
had been driven away from the neighborhood
of the hotel, and at a quarter past nine
o'clock the order to start was given. Six
engines were on the two inside tracks, and
they started well together. They moved
along over the tracks slowly, ana the big
hotel, which has a superficial area of 92,000
square feet, being 4 0 feet long and 200 feet
wide, with a calculated weight of 5000 tons,
followed slowly. After six feet of progress
had been made, in about two minutes, the
order to stop was given. An inspection was
then made by Mr. Miller, who, with Superintendent
Morrow of the railroad company, has
the work in charge. The ropes were found I
to be all right, the cars were moving
easily on the tracks. The big 12x12 joists
which supported the hotel on the 120 flat cars
had not shifted from their positions, and
there seemed to be no question of the success
of the plan. The order to start was again given,
and alter the next move, twenty-four feet
further inland, a halt was again called.
During this move there Were a number of
peonle around the hotel, who had been embolaened
by the success of the first experiment.
A short time for examination of the
running gear and all was in readiness for the
next effort. This time many wanted to ride.
All danger was over, and the novelty of a
ride of that sort was a great attraction, for
the ladies especially. In the car in front of
the main entrance of the house some chairs
were placed, and a few ladies, relatives of
Mr. Miller, were given seats. Several people
were in some of the other cars, and others
were on the sand under the hotel. Another
start was then made, and twenty-five feet
brought the blocks together, and a halt was
called, with the hotel fifty-five feet further
inland than it was yesterday.
The moving was a complete success. There
was no vibration in the house, and the cars
moved as easily over the rails as though they
were empty. Standing under the hotel and
resting one's hand upon the joists which supported
it, no jar could be felt. Everything
seemed to go along together as easily as if it
was a common thing to drag hotels around
the country on cars. The riggers were soon
at work again, and the big blocks were
moved 100 feet further ahead, preparatory to
a longer pulL

1 Frightful Catastrophe at a gS
Mexican Bull Fight. H
Many Women and Children Killed 9
by the Infuriated Beasts, B
Sunday afternoon about forty-five min- Bj
utes past four o'clock the bull-ring at Celaya,
Mexico, was crowded with spectators of the MB
great national sport. The company of bull-; Bfl
fighters from Leon was still playing with H9
the first bull when a fire suddenly, Rffl
broke out on the sunny side of the plaza. HB
A panic seized upon the vast assemblage, and1 Bfl
a frightful spectacle was the result in?
plaza was constructed of wooden masts,
reeds, etc., and it was due to this fact that
the majority of the people escaped without
injury, being able to force an opening
permitting exits at different points,
but many women and children jumped;
from the top, a distance of 200 to 300
feot, and over one handred of them
were seriously wounded. Many people wera
killed and injured by the wild bulls, liberated
through the cowardice and criminality of
their attendants, who ripped and gored women
and children as they had been trained'
to "play"' with the pieadores. .
Celavais a city of ten thousand'inhabit-:
ants, thirty-five miles southeast of Guanajuato,
on the route to Queretaro and Mexico. <.
It contains many very wealthy people,;
who, of course, patronize amusement*
and sports. Consequently when the1
Leon company took their bulls and
paraphernalia there the bull fight was exten?,
sively advertise!, and everybody was at the
plaza before 3 o'clock on Sunday afternoon,'
the time appointed for the national sport to' f
begin. Indeed the Superintendent of the;
lo al prison gave permission to several prisoners
to witness the fights "under guard"?
that is, attended by national troops carrying,
loaded carbines. The "place of play" was '
crowded to the utmost - - i
The fight had fairly beeun, the picadores
being urged by the excited crowd to despatch
the first bull, which had been uncommonly
dull and shrinking. All at once a '
cry of "fire!" was heard in the rink. This war
followed by a cloud of smoke coming from,
the place where the jailbirds were seated. Immediately
the crowd became panic stricken.
All the regular exits were choked as if by,
magic, so the men made openings in the
frail walls of reed and matting, and permit-.
i/Utrir nnvea auu uvuo uun>. w wv??^
wherever they were not too far from the
ground. But to the gaily dressed throng occupying
the upper tiers of seats the situation
was appalling. The building was now on
fire, all the exits stopped, and these people
were from 150 to 115 feet from the ring.
Despite the warning of the Hayor and Chief
of Police and the yelling of the Leons that the
lire was trivial and could soon be put out,
many of the sightseers leaped into the arena,
men, women and children falling in confused > "
heaps, those underneath being maimed and
bruised and some children being killed outright.
A slight wind was blowing which fanned
, the flames steadily, the matting burning with
a loud, crackling noise Alt at once the
bulls, which had been confined in stalls, were
deserted by the boys having them in charge,
broke into the arena and in making for the
plaza they tramped on about jtwo hundred
persons who were trying to find\exits, Fire
seems to have maddened these brutes to a
frightful degree, for they gored several
women to death and drove others to climb up
again to the lower tiers and risk death
from suffocation rather than contact with
the infmiated beasts. Details show that
eighteen persons were killed outright Sixty-eigHf
persons were very badly bnrned,and .
ten of them fatally. Fifty persons, in escaping.
were knocked down ana trampled upon
by the panic stricken throng, and all were
very seriously but not fatally injured. Among
the eighteen dead were two women, who
were first gored to death by the bulls and
their bodies afterward burnet A despatch
to a leading journal in the City of Mexico
says: "The scenes in the neighborhood of
the bull ring were sickening beyond description.
Women and children, crazed with
suffering from their burns, ran aimlessly
through the streets, and could scarcely be
overtaken or collected by their friends.
Several persons lost their reason from the
severe mental shocks to which they were <subjected.
"The fire was incendiary. In the Celaya
Jail were a number of prisoners, army deserters,
etc., who had obtained permission
from the authorities to attend the bull-flgbt.
One of the desjrters suiTeptitiously struck
a match and ignited one of the dry petate
(mats), and in an instant the 'Sol1 side of.
the ring was ablaze. Jn the. confusion
and excitement the prisoners succeeded
in making good their escape, taking
chances to effect their ends. The best1
society of Celaya was in attendance, j
There was an unusual number of ladies
and children there, and these, as often is the
case in such eventsi were the sufferers. No man
lost his life. Tha helpless little ones and
their mothers, who would not desert their
offspring, were the victims of this most ap-,
palling catastrophe. It is the saddest;
tragedy that has ever occurred in
the three centuries of the city's history.
Hundreds of fine villas and splendid
residences contain persons who were,
either wounded or made sick by the fire, and! .
the bull fight of Sunday is likely to be the'
last affair of the kind there for many years
to come."
