The “Brave General” Takes His Life
at Mme. de Bonnemain’s Tomb.
SHOT HIMSELF IN THE HEAD
The Tragic Act Caused by the Dark Fu-
ture in Store for the Erstwliile French
Idoleliitense Excitement Among
the Dead llIan’s Followers.
BRUSSELS, Oct. 1.——Genera1’ Boulanger
committed suicide Wednesday on the
tomb of Mme. de Bonnemain, who died a
short time ago. The suicide of the gen-
eral took place about noon. Boulanger
stood alone by the grave of his mistress
nrv‘T“i\.;.~~ _, ,(g for some time, ap-
fhflabgg’fla pearing to be deep-
‘ 41/2 1y affected by sor—
» rowful recollec-
tions. An attend-
ant, who had re-
spectfully remain—
ed at some dis-
tance, suddenly
hearda sharp re-
port. Hastening to
\_ the spot he found
' . Boulanger lying
. " dead upon the
, _ ground with a re-
“- volver clinched in
GENERAL BOULANGER. his right hand. A
hasty examination of the body showed
that he had placed the weapon to
his right ear and fired. The deed has
caused intense excitement among the fol-
lowers of the dead general, both here and
in Paris. The police are now in possession
of the suicide’s lodgings.
It is known that Boulanger’s position,
both financial and political, had been get-
ting blacker and blacker of late. The
future held out no hope to him, and his
remaining friends became as cold as they
had once been warm when it was seen that
the once famous soldier was no longer
necessary to the welfare of France. Of
these things he was conscious, and they
preyed upon his mind. To this is to be
added the morbid love or infatuation which
he felt for the late Mme. de Bonnemain,
his mistress.
Boulanger’s Erratic Career.
George Ernest Jean Marie Boulanger
was born at Rennes in 1837. In 1855 Bou-
langer entered the military college of St.
Cyr, and was made sublieutenant in 1857.
He served under Marshal Ranelen in the
Kabyle campaign. He also took part in
the Franco-Italian war, and was wounded
in the battle of Turbige. In 1860 he ob-
tained his full lieutenancy and two years
later was promoted to a captaincy, having
in the interim seen service in Cochin
China.
came a major. He was with Bazaine at
Metz, but by some means escaped the fate
of Bazaine’s army and made his way back
to Paris. He was then promoted to a lieu-
tenant colonelcy by the government of
national defense, and fought at Cham-
pigny, Nov. 30 to Dec. 3. _
His Popularity.
After the suppression of the Commune
Boulanger’s newly attained promotion
was quashed by the grade revision com-
mittee but was restored to him in 1874. In
1880 he became brigadier general. Being
appointed to the command of the army of
occupation of Tunis, General Boulanger
had a disagreement with M. Camleon, the
resident general, and was recalled. He
then held the war office appointment of di-
rector of the infantry division, and be-
came minister of war in 1886. When
M. de Freycinet resigned and was suc-
ceeded by M. Goblet (December, 1886), the
general retained his portfolio, but on the
fall of M. Goblet, Boulanger’s name did
not appear in the cabinet of M. Rouvier.
Soon after this the general was dispatched
to Clermont-Ferrand to take command of
an army corps, receiving a great ovation
at Paris on his departure.
His Big lVIajox-ities.
When the Limousin scandal broke upon
Paris like thunderclap. General Boulanger
commented very freely upon thewar min-
ister’s conduct, and was immediately or-
dered under close arrest for thirty days at
his own headquarters. The government
having decided, in March, 1888, to cashier
the general by placing him on the retired
list, he inaugurated a vigorous campaign
against the ministry. Vacancies shortly af-

turned by 59,500 votes to 35,750 polled by
the Opportunist candidate. In the Nord
his triumph was still more remarkable,
the number of votes polled for him being
172,528, against 75,901 for M. Foucart, and
9,647 for M. Moreau. This was on the 15th
of April, 1888, which, in a manifesto he is- ‘
sued to the electors, he declared would be
marked in the annals of the country as a ,
date of true deliverance. Subsequently
his popularity waned for a time.
His Disgrace.
The general’s appearance in ‘the chamber
of deputies, in July, 1888, to demand a dis-
solution of the chamber, gave rise to a
stormy scene, M. Floquet made a vigor-
0118 attack upon the general, and in the
altercation between them General Bou-
langer exclaimed, “You lie.” This led M.
Floquet to demand satisfaction, and on
July 13 a duel was fought between them,
with the result that the general received a
deep wound in the neck. After his re-
covery he appeared (1889) as a candidate at
bye elections in Paris, at the Nord, the
Somme and Charent Inferieure, and was
returned by large majorities. The Patri-
otic league, of which he was the head, was
subsequently suppressed, and the general
was tried by the senate on a charge of
having, while war minister, appropriated
£10,000 of public money for purposes of his
own propaganda. He was found guilty.
His Flight.
To avoid arrest, he fled first to Belgium,
then to London, where he arrived April 24.
The general was elected at the general

election (September) for Montmartre by a
small majority over M. J eflrin, but the elec-
tion was annulled. The general then retired
to the island of Jersey and later removed
to Brussels, where be rented the palatial
residence formerly occupied by the Aus-
trian embassador.
Madame 'de Bennemain, the general’s
mistress, upon whose tomb he breathed
his last, died in this city on July 16, 1891,
after having accompanied General Bou-
langer in all his later wanderings. She
devoted an inherited fortune of $1,500,000
to the furtherance of the general’s politi-
cal fortunes. v '
‘ Boulangor’s “’ldow.
Mme. Boulanger, widow of the dead
general, is desribe'd as being somewhat of
a religeuse, and a woman of modest and
domestic instincts. Reports as to her at-
titude toward General Boulanger since his
becoming infatuated with Mme. de
Bonnemain differ. One story was to the
effect that she had entirely abnegated self,
and would be content to keep a home for
her erring husband, to which he might
return when worn out with the pursuit of
fame and tired of intrigues. In January
last it was stated that Mine. Boulanger
had applied to the French courts for a
judicial separation from General Boulan-
ger.
, The Suicide Excites Paris. ‘
PARIS, Oct. 1.—The news of Boulan-
ger’s death has caused a tremendous sen-
sation in Paris. The newspapers contain-
ing details of the suicide are unable to
meet the demand for copies. Mei Jers of
~ the Patriotic league are already talking
of demanding a public funeral in Paris for
the late general. It is likely that they will
try to make an issue with the government
on this point.
THE POLITICAL ARENA.
Colorado’s Republican Convention the

tion he was nominated by acclamation.
The administration of President Harri-
son was indorsed, also that of Governor
Routt. The platform favors the free and
unlimited coinage of silver, the protection
of American productsand industries, reci-
procity and fair and equitable settlement
of disputes between capital 'and labor.
The convention closed by giving three
hearty cheers for Jim Blaine.

Boy Prisoners Break Jail.
NEW YORK, Oct. 1.~—Seven boys es-
caped from the fifth floor of the Hudson
county jail in Jersey City by removing the
heavy iron grating of a bathroom window
fifty feet above the ground. The lads
descended hand over hand on a rope which
they had pieced together With fragments
taken from their cots. ’ A passing bicyclist
saw them descending and blew his whistle,
alarming the guards, who caught two of
the boys. Three others were arrested in a
saloon in Jersey City, their actions excit-
ing a policeman’s suspicions. The other
two are still at large. All were confined
for petty oflfenses.
Bardsley DIay Tell All.
PHILADELPHIA, Oct. 1.—It is learned
on good authority that a big scheme is on
foot to get Bardsley to turn state’s evi-
dence and tell all he knows at the extraor-
dinary session of the senate. The pardon
board thinks that if it can get Bardsley to
unseal his lips it can commute at least a.
portion of his sentence. Several confer-
ences have already been had with Bards-
ley in the penitentiary.
Confessed to the Murder.
LITTLE ROCK, Oct. 1. — Thomas E.
Hamilton and S. E. Vaughn were brought
to Fort Smith and placed in jail for safe
keeping and to avoid a lynching. W. A.
Gage, a prominent citizen of Madison
county, was assassinated on his premises.
The tracks of the assassins led to the
house of Hamilton. He was arrested and
confessed, implicating Vaughn.
The Provincial Exhibition.

Daly opened the provincial exhibition yes-
terday. There are 1,300 exhibitors and
The display ‘of cattle,
sheep and horses ‘is the finest ever seen in
the maritime provinces. Agricultural
products are well represented, ,but fish-
eries and mines, Nova Scotia’s most im-
portant industries, find no place.
Dividend Payments Suspended.
NEW YORK, Oct. 1.——The Missouri Pac-
ific railroad directors have formally de-
cided to suspend dividend payments on

so far this year has a deficit of $1,619,273.
Prison Didn’t Suit Him.
RACINE, Wis, Oct. 1. —— Louis Dalgo,
who has served terms in the penitentiaries
of several states, was captured here. and
put in jail, awaiting answers from differ-
ent cities where he was wanted. During
the night he escaped by crawling out
through a. hole excavated for a sewer.

AND NOBODY HEARD HIM.
Then He Puts a Revolver to the Mes-\
senger’s Head. Gets the Key, Opens
the Safe, Robs It, Signals to Slow
Up and Makes His Escape.
ROCHESTER, N. Y., Oct. 1.——A train
robbery with nearly all the thrilling
features that accompany such events in
the wild west took place just after mid-
night on a Central Hudson railroad train,
between Albany and Little Falls. It hap-
pened on train 31, a solid American Ex-
press train of six cars, which left New
York at 8:30 o’clock, bound for Chicago.
At the hour named B. A. Moore, of Buf-
falo, a. trusted messenger of the express
company, who has been in its employ
fifteen years, suddenly realized the fact
that a stranger stood over him with two
revolvers pointed at his head, and de-
manded the surrender of hisrevolve'r and
the key of the safe. The robber’s only
words with Moore were: “It’s money I’m
after, you -————. We’re coming into
Utica.” Moore was taken wholly by sur-
prise, and, as the robber had taken his re
volver, had to give up the'key of the safe.
A Cool Hand.
The robber then opened the safe, took
out all the money it contained and jumped
off the train, having first given a signal to
the engineer to slow down. When he was
ready to jump he gave another signal for
the train to go ahead, and then jumped
and started in a northerly direction. The
robber was masked and the messenger
was unable to give any accurate descrip=
tion of him.
As soon as possible Moore made known
to the other men on the train what had
taken place, and they made a search to see
how the robber got in the car. There was
no mystery about it, for a hole large
enough to admit a man’s body was found
out through the forward end of the car.
It was about sixteen inches square and
had been cut with an auger and saw.
Once the intruder got inside he was con«
cealed from the messenger by the freight
and could watch the messenger without
being seen himself. He waited until
Moore was making out certain waybills
and had him covered with the pistols and
at his mercy.
He Fired Three Shots.
The car that was robbed was the last
one in the train, and it is believed by the
express people that the robber got on at
Albany. It is believed that the robber had
some experience as a railroad employee,
from the fact that he was able to give the
right signals on the air whistle for slowing
and starting the train. The train arrived
in this city only a. few minutes behind its
regular time, and Messenger Moore gave
the above particulars. He had suffered no
violence, but was badly frightened, and
proceeded on his way to Buffalo.
Messenger Moore said that when the
robber secured his revolver he fired three
times, none of the bullets hitting Moore,
however. The robber ransacked the safe,
taking those packages he thought con-
tained money and valuables. The mes—
senger managed to thrust a $5,000 money
package behind the safe, which the robber
did not find. Packages containing money,
jewelry and other valuables were taken,
but the amount is not known. The rob-
ber was short and slim and wore dark
clothes. A slight dark mustache showed
through the mask.
Moore was formerly night agent at Syra'
. 01188.
The Officials Won’t Talk.
BUFFALO, Oct. 1.——Special American
Express train 31 rolled into the Central
station only a. few moments behind time.
It brought Messenger Moore and his car
that was robbed near Utica. The car was
switched out and a careful examination of
its contents made. The robber entered the
car through ahole just fourteen and a half
by sixteen inches, cut through the door
about breast high and above the heavy
paneling of the lower part. The hole is
evenly cut, and must have taken twenty
minutes or half an hour in being made,
and how the robber could have cut it with-
out being heard is a part of the mystery of
the case.
Messenger Moore at once proceeded to
the main oflice of the company, and was
closeted with the officials for some time.
Moore positively refused to be interviewed,
saying he had been ordered to say nothing
whatever about the case. The officials of
the company were also dumb, and would
say nothing except that the train did not
contain their heaviest valuables. The
amount stolen is, however, said to be up
in the tens of thousands of dollars.
Think It Singular.
NEW YORK, Oct. 1.—The American Exs
press company’s officials in this city state
that Messenger Moore is a trusted em-,
ployee and his story is not doubted, but it
is considered singular that the three other
men always stationed in the express car
near where the money is carried did not
come to his assistance.
, Slapped the Lawyer’s Face.
BUFFALO, Oct. 1. — A somewhat un-
usual occurrence took place in the supreme
court. Ex—Judge Brundage and Attorney
John D. Romer became involved in a dis-
pute, and Judge 'Brundage slapped Mr.
Romer’s face. Presiding Judge Ward in-
sisted on an apology and Judge Brundage
excused himself. He said Mr. Romer had
called him a scoundrel, for which he slap-
ped him and would do it again, but he
