De Thebes, of Paris, "the i witch of the Etoile quarte," the 1 world's greatest soaress, has issued her forecast for lWl2. The famous j pythoness to whom nearly every ( well-known man in Franco has jour- , .

If sho isn't a real proph- ( otess sho's a good guosser, 1SI10 says, in part: "Last year I called 'tho twilight ( year;' next year?as night succoeds the twilight?will be tho 'black year.'

Do Thebes foretells, will leave Paris in a sad plight. | T There is to be an uprising of some nature or other in Paris, the particular quarter not being indicated by Mme. Do Thebes.

Glostor is 25 miles northeast of Atlanta. The train left Atlanta at 8:35 i'clock for Washington. It was going 40 miles an hour when near the Jloster station it struck a broken rail. The engine and several cars went over safely but a Pullman and 3iio first-class passenger car left the roadbed and wont into a ditch. The injured were in those two 2ars. Their hurts consist of cuts and bruises. If there had been more serous consequences the railroad would tiave had difficulty in caring for the victims, as the surrounding country s sparsely settled and few if any Joctors were at hand. A train with physicians and wrecltng apparatus was dispatched from Howell's station. The tracks were cleared by daylight. Most of the injured live in Georgia and tho CarDlinas. They include: P. M.

More than forty others are sick, several of whom are believed to bo dying. J The cause of death has not yet been announced, but the authorities 1 are confident that the putrid fish is ; responsible. The partially completed autopsies appear to substantiate this view. All those known to have ' partaken of the fish are dead, or in such condition as to bo unable to 1 throw light on the subject. ' It Is believed, however, that one of the victims found the fish in the 1 garbage pile of a nearby market and 1 divided them among his comrades.

Several had )ceu convicted on minor charges, and ine was pardoned to restqred citi;ensliip. Viewing the act of tho governor 'rom an economic standpoint, and jonsidering tho pardon record for a lay mado possible by the constitution >f the State, it means that this State vas deprived of the service of collects aggregating 23'J years. This is or unexpired term3. The estimato s mado upon an average of 2 0 years or a lifetime prisouor. The average ength of service is probably longer.

English Missionary and Wife As* saultcd by Brigands and Left for Dead, but Escaped. Eighty missionaries, a majority of whom are Scandanavlans and Americans, have arrived at Kankow from tho Lachow and Fan Chepg districts in tho province of Hu Peh. The missionaries were escorted from their stations by revolutionary troops and afterward by Imperial soldiers. They report that the cities in the province are peaceful but the country is infested with robbers. The Rev. C. W. Landalit, a missionary of the Hague's Synod mission in Tai Ping Tien, at the request of villagers, took command of an improvised militia for protection against robbers and with tho assistance of tho people captured a robber spy. Tho people in spite of Mr. Landaht's efforts killed tho spy, after which men, women and children dipped their bread in his blood with tho idea that by doing so they would become brave. The revolutionists sent out a small cavalry force and killed many of the robbers. The remainder of the band then submitted aud Mr. Landalit departed for Ilankow. Consular reports from Cheng Tu, Capital of the province of C/.e Chuen, dated December 5, say complete anarchy prevails in the surrounding country. There has been much robbery and the people have buried their money. The British consul at Ichang, province of Hu Peh, writing on December 21, says that there is serious danger oi an anti-foreign outbreak there. A letter from Sain Fu says that tho Rev. Donald Smith, a missionary of tho English Baptist mission, and his wife attempted to take the Chinese schoolgirls to their homes in tho north of Shian Fu. A band of robbers attacked them, seized Mr. Smith, broke both his arms and stunned him. They then gashed his wife on the leg and left them both for dead, but they revived and were conveyed back to Shian Fu. Wang Tien Chung, a notorious briganU, who has committed many robberies in the western districts of the province of Hunan, is reported to have collected a baud of 2,000 or 3,000 followers.

Sovcnty-flvo arrests were made up to 11 P. l\f. This is probably a record for the department for one day's work. Almost every crime that one calls to mind is on tho police docket.

It is reported that several "blind tigers" were compelled to closo their places early yesterday afternoon because of the three days of Christmas celebration had cleaned out their stock and it was impossible to secure more.

This precluded all idea of the whispered exchange of remarks suitable for a honeymoon trip. Then again when they left the train each had to have a taxicab apiece. Even when they got home, where their coming was expected, the town eould not furnish another rig but a hayrack In which ^ they could ride. UIJ^
