Shameful Facts Brmight Out by the '
Paris Fire Investigation.
MEN THAT PROVED CRAVEN S
French Aristocrats, “fire, to Save Them-
selves, Kicked and Struck Down
Helpless \Vomen. to Be In Fu-
ture Debarred From Society,
Paris, May 17.—It is impossible any
longer to ignore the shameful facts re-
garding the cowardly brutality of the
men who saved ’themselves at the ex-
pense of the women at the Paris bazaar
fire. Every woman who escaped has
the, same story: to tell, and the Paris
press, which kept silent for a week
while. the miserable truth was in pri-
vate' circulation, is now compelled to
deal with the subject openly- _
M. Bertulus, the magistrate who has
investigated the tragedy, says that he
examined scores of wuien survivors,
his sole» object being to ascertain the
cause of the catastrophe. Every mo-
ment, however, the witnesses would
break out in abuse of the men who left
them in the lurch or brutally impeded
their flight.
The names of prominent and aristo-
cratic cowards are freely used in pri—
vate converse, and there is more than
one man who stood in the highest cir-
cles of Paris who will never again be
admitted to drawing rooms. There are
plenty of authentic examples. A well
known lady shows her arms to her
friends. “Look at these marks!" she
exclaims. “They were made by the
stick of a. man who pushed me aside in
order that he might pass.”
Shameful Cowardicc.
The wife of an artist got away, thanks
to a man who proceeded at such a rate
forcing his way through the women,
whom he trampled on, that he reached
the door. The lady kept behind him
and effected an exit.
A young woman was beyond the reach
of the flames at the door. A man pass—
ed, and, although in no danger, struck
her so violently on'the chest and wound-
ed her so severely that she is in bed se-
riously ill.
Mme. Raffaeli, who distinguished
herself by making several heroic at-
tempts to rescue her daughter, who sub—
sequently escaped, says it is quite true
that several young men, three or four
of whom are known, behaved misera—
bly. Mme. Raffaeli is the wife of M.
Jean Raffaeli, the painter.
A lady related to a well known finan-
cier, who had been thrown down, raised
her head and held’» out her hands. A
man, fearing she might clutch him,
kicked her off, and her shoulder will
always bear the mark.
Another lady has said to her cousin,
who fled and left her- to the care of a
servant, “Really, monsieur, we are far
better off on such occasions with a
valet than with a relative.”
Specimen Brutes.
A young lady who is now dying was
standing near 'a ladder that had been
let down by the staff of The Croix
newspaper, by which 100 persons were
saved. A man, to make her let go of the
ladder, struck her alblow on the hand
with his walking stick and broke all
her fingers. “I must add,” says a wit-
ness, “ that she was clinging to the
ladder paralyzed with terror, unable to
advance and preventing those behind
her from saving themselves.”
M. Fould, the banker, whose wife was
injured. says that two men, whose
names he knows, passed his wife, and
one dealt her a blow in the face.
One of the ladies of the bazaar com-
mittee says that a gentleman whose
name is being held up to public admira-
tion was seen slashing right and left
with his stick at ladies who stood in
his way.
It should be added that, according to
all acounts, only about 30 men present
at the fire perished. Six were injured.
All the latter were burned while saving
life.
She Has Two Husbands.
Springfield, Mass, May 17.———Mrs. Jen-
nie Bell Gillett, wife of Homer Gil-
lett, was arrested last evening charged
with polygamy. On Jan. 4, 1896, she was
married to Homer F. Gillett and lived
with him, boarding at the home of her
father on Worthington street, until
May 7, when she left him, and that
,‘evening was married to Wilmore S.
Roopell, a switchman employed by the
Springfield Street Railway company.
Her first husband will stand by her and
secure her counsel, as he thinks that
she did not marry Roopell of her free
will.
New Army. Revolvers.
Washington, May 17.—By a general
circular sent out to the army all of the
revolvers in the hands of troops have
been called in, to be replaced by a later
model in which the addition of a safety
lock prevents the hammer from being
cocked. except when the cylinder is
firmly closed and locked. Seven regi—
ments of cavalry have already been
supplied with" the new weapon, and
now the remainder of the army is to be
supplied.
Cut His Throat.
Charlotte, N. 0., May 17.—-An elder-
ly man with his throat cut from ear to
ear was found on the public highway
near Reidsville. He could not articu-
late, but wrote on a. slip of paper that
he was Charles Preston, a public schoOl-
teacher, and had been attacked by two
young men,
they found he had money.
Victoria's Plans.
London, May 17.—The queen will leave
\Vindsor castle on Friday, May 22, for
Sheffield. From thence she will jour-
ney to Scotland, arriving at Balmoral
on the 22d. The court will remain at
Balmoral until June 16, returning to
Windsor castle in time for the jubilee
celebrations.
Murder. In a Hospital.
Petersburg, Va., May 17.—-—At the State
Central hospital, near this city, yester-
day, an inmate, Ocho Templeton, struck
another inmate named Randolph King
a blow on the head with a floor mop,
from the effect of which he died. King
had been an inmate for 27 years. ‘

STOIIIIS OF THE STREET.
N orwalk People are Ta:
About it on Every
Corner.
It is sometimes an easy matter to fool
the public, but you can’t keep it up
very long They are sure to find you
out; and every time a man is fooled an-
other skeptic is made. Skepticism is
allowable when reading 111 a home news-
paper about some incident occurring in
San Francisco or Iowa, but the circum-
stances are entirely diiferent when it
refers to some one right here at home,
friends and neighbors, people you
know, whom you can see, and with
whom you can talk it over. This is the
kind of evidence at the back of Doan’ s
Kidney Pills—home statements by
home people, and the astonishing local
work they have been doing, has caused
more talk among our citizens than the
doings of any other modern wonder.
Read the following.
Mr. C. A. Owens,1No. 190 Main Street
is a. painter and a paper hanger by
trade. Like the majority of men who
follow this occupation he is troubled
with disordered kidneys. The requis-
ites to his calling benzine, turpentine,
and other dryers excite and inflame
those organs yand late in the fall he
found himself suifering from a. return
of the old complaint. Mrs. Owens
ever mindful of her husband’s welfare,
procured for him a box of Doan 5 Kid
ney Pills at Hale’s drug store and he
used them. MIs. Owens says, “My
husband has been gre eatly benefited by
the use of Doans Kidney Pills. Con-
stant working 1n white lead and mixing
paint has brought on kidney trouble
and a severe headache. Relief in any
form is always welcome and we are
pleased to recommend Dean S Kidney
Pills for what they have done.

The Egyptian and Transvaal Questions
to Be Settled Ir: a Illa-liner That W111
“ Suit the'Mosc Rabid Twister of
- the British Lion’s Tail.
Berlin, May 17. ——Your correspondent
in this city is rclia bly informed that
during the past week a definite under-
standing was perfected by which the
cabinets of Germany, Fiance and Rus-
sia. will soon reach the solution of the
Egypt and Transvaal questions, and
this will be done systematically in an
anti-British sense. So soon as the
Greeco-Turkish trouble is definitely set—
tled the matter will be jointly taken up
unless Great Britain'in the meanwhile
precipitates matters, in which case she
will encounter the united, open hostil-
ity of the three continental powers.
The ultimate object of the agreemept
is to force the evacuation of Egypt, the
nullification of the Pretoria convention
of 1886 and to put the Transvaal upon a
perfectly independent bas1 '
France, in the settlen ent5 of the peace
conditions with Greece, will persist-
ently side with Russia and Germany, in
spite of the strong current of public
opinion to the contrary.
Both the bills proposed by the i-1pe—
rial chancellpr, Prince Hohenthe, one
reforming the right of association and
the other reforming the military trials
procedure, are understood to have se-
cured imperial approval, and the cabi—
net crisis is considered to have been ad-
justed for the time. The reichstag and
diet, however, will h dly pass these
measures this session, eing tired out
and anxious to adjourn at the end of
the coming week. .
p The Navy Agitation.
Besides, in the diet the bills lead to vio—
lent opposition, owing to the agreement
reached between the emperor and the
officers of the German Colonial society,
by which Duke Albrecht of Mecklen-
burg, the president of that organiza—
tion, at the annual meeting on June 12
at Munich will paSs a resolution
launch a thorough agitation throughout
(1”‘1many in favor of enlarging the Ger—
1 navy, the aim being to equal in
ngth the navy of Russia and to
1 ‘1 a. navy two-thirds the size of that
c rance.
mass meetings for this purpose will be
organized everywhere, the press will be
utilized, and it will be further proposed
to make the naval appropriation of the
reichstag quinquennial, like those of the
army. Several political meetings on the
subject have alread been held, one of
them being at Rue esheim, at which
the above programme was adopted.
During his sojourn at the Chateau
Urville, near Metz, last week, Emperor
W'illiam was present at a big sham
fight in the district of Gravelotte and
Mou'lins. Several divisions were on-
gaged. During the operations snow fell
fast, but the emperor, the empress and
Prince Adalbert, the third son of their
majesties, watched the military move-
ments throughout on horseback with—
out wraps. The emperm also inspected

A high treason trial in the imperial
court at Leipsic last week brought out
a number of sensational details. Depot
Master Meinecke of the artillery of
Metz was shown to have been for years
in close connection with French spies,
and especially with the French Police
Commissioner Ismert and a coal dealer
named Hanne of Montigny, to whom
Meinecke sold .all sorts of valuable ma—
terial, such as new types of shells,
fuses, bullets used with the new rifle
and lists of the plans for equipment
and mobilization. Meineckc made
enough money by this means to retire
recently from the army and live on the
interest of the proceeds of his rascali-
ty. He was sentenced to six years and
three months’- hard labor, with loss of
civic honors for ten years. Two of the
witnesses against Meineckc were high
officers of the ministry of war, who ob-
tained proofs of his guilt through a.
Paris correspondent. ‘
Another Speech Coming.
It is now definitely settled that the
emperor will attend the unveiling of
the monument of his grandfather at
Cologne on June 18 as the guest, of that
city. Great fetes have been planned
for the occasion, and his majesty will
utilize it to deliver an important speech.
1 Prince Bismarck lost 20 pounds in
lweight during his last illness, and Dr.
Schweninger, his physician, has ordered
him to take the waters at Gastein this
summer. Nevertheless the former
chancellor received a large torchlight
procession of his Hamburg admirers in
the open air during the week, though
snow was falling at the time.
Baron von Stumm-Halberg, the for-
