BUSH Mindon special : One of tho most sen- 111 Rational civil , suits , over tried in this HiilM county is now in progress. It is entitled liw Edward B. Eckhard vs. Lillian 0. Erk- BH I liard. Mr. Eckhard.sao8 for o divproo Hfju Rn ttl ° cliildren , two little girls. A. H. In Bnrnett and M. A. Hnrtigonaro thelaw- l * * yers * 0E Mr * Eckhard , while Tanner & HS'K MoKinney and St. Clair & McPheeley Hifl , | . are lawyers for the defense. The suit is | K he more sensational because of the HS prominenco of. the parties interested. H 1 Si Mr : Eckhard has been manager of A. J. Ilffi Noimoyer Ss Co. 's lumber yards here for H | Bj about live years. . He is known as a HIS ' pleasant , genial and obliging business H I n / man , and has worked his way up from H IS an under man to tho head of the bnsi- H f fit t ness at this place. Mrs. Eckhard has H i iff eon pro mine if t in social circles all this | i | / while. She is the daughter of J. B. r | ' Williams , editor of the Holyoko , Col. , S paper , but was at one time oditor of the 3f Democrat here. The chief ground for j | divorce it. for adultery. H . , Mr. and Mrs. Williams are present at H ' f | the trial and tho mother seems very H < H * much effected. Mrs. Eckhard is dressed H ' | j " n black , is calm and seemingly not fw much affected by the testimony. The H i wm trial so far is being conducted in as de- H : 9j cent a manner as sush a trial can be , | and much credit is duo Judge Gasliu for H wk the manner in which he presides on the H Wm occasion. While there has been a very H $ | j tdeep interest in this case throughout H H t Minden , very little has been taid about it. H' ffjl Later. E. B. Eckhard was granted a Hj * divorce and tho children were given to H ft Mr. and Mrs. J. B. Williams of Holyoke , H I ] Col. , parents of Mrs. Eckhard. Mr. H < Eckhard is very muoh disappointed , and HIS ; will probably carry the case up. HI' ' | Ij STATE JOTTINGS IN BRIEF. HpjR * Tho store of John Voboril at Iiin- Ik | wood , was broken into last week 'by H H forcing the rear door , and a large quan- Hfl | tity of the best goods taken , consisting H V of underwear , dress goods , etc. A hand H B car was stolen from the Fremont , Elk1 H Ms horn & Missouri Valley railroad depot , H § and it is supposed the thieves loaded it H SS with their booty and escaped. Nothing H is known as to who done the deed. H m Articles of incorporation of the Lint H m coin knitting mills , of Lincoln , have H m been filed with the secretary of state. H If Joseph Bolshaw , a resident of Lint H jg | I * coin , broke his kneo-cap in jumping ofl Hffjf & moving train at Cambridge. The inl Hf f juries are of a serious nature. HpI The board of public lands and buildf Hpl ings yesterday accepted the plans ol ftfll > William Gray for the new boiler house HffI on the capitol grounds. The design Hfff submitted by S. J. Wiegel , of Hastings , HfH * or e nouse * or the asylum out there Bl was also found acceptable. Both houses Eflf - are guaranteed to come within the ap- Hl propriation. \ S A curiosity in the shape of a blind Bif centaur , says the Sterling Sun , was the B | | property of Mr. Hugh Gingles last m § week , until he tired of its terrible de- Bjf formity , cut its jugular vein and let it Km bleed to death. It was a colt , born H [ without any front legs and no eyes. It H | clambered aronnd on its hind legs ev- | B erywhere. and there is no telling what m it would have grown into if allowed to 'S" ' live , but it was a fearful spectacle. . HjM The governor last week issued a re- Hi ! quisition for Nat Shervington and H | i * James McKee , jwho stole a couple of HI valuablo mares from Carl JPuehring , a M& ] farmer living near Seward. Sheriff Bb > - Smiley , of Seward couut3' , has the men B \ in custody at Leon , Sas. H C. & Worthington , an employe at B the Antelope well in Lincoln , the source H of the city water supply , was severely B injured , while at the bottom of the well. H He donned a rubber coat and descended B ' * f5 o " me distance down the well , for the B * * purpose of fnspectihg the machinery , H when he was suddenly caught by a re- H volving cog-wheel , and before he could H be rescued , every „ partiole of clothing B' was torn from his body , even to his H socks. When taken from the well he ' H was black and blue and literally covered B with wounds , although not a bone was H | < broken. He is in a serious condition , Hf but will recover. Hj It has been decided that this year's K excursion of the Nebraska Press asso- B-r ciation will be to Portland , Ore. , and ' % the Yellowstone Park. Although the route will probably be over , the Northj j ern Pacific ; it has not been definitely l determined yet Lon Wessel , chair- * .man of the excursion committee , has J the matter in charge , and will issue a * circular containing full particulars in ' the course of a couple of weeks.

Fifteen cents per pound is the highest price they will pay for binding twine. The committee on revision of the courses of-study in the state university have recommended that such changes be made as will bring more flexibility into tho work , particularly jn tho scien- tific'course , It is also recommended that changes be made relieving the crowding in tho sophomore and junior , caused by the great amount of aboratory work required. The growth of this laboratory work in the last few years has been remarkable. Fire broke out in the Omaha Car riage : and Sleigh company's works , at Albright , some .miles south of South Omaha. Owing to the inadequate fire protection at that place the flames soon gained o. great headway , and before they could ' bo extinguished the. building and stock had been damaged to the extent of $15,000. Fully covered by insurance. Theodore Brail , wife and child , of Omaha , registered at the Cincinnati house in Nebraska City , and in the evening a man who refused to give his name , came there and said the woman was his wife. The latter , when she saw the man , left the hotel with the little girl , and has not been seen siuce. Brail paid his bill and also disappeared. Hon. L. W.

" The Bed Cloud Argus says it is a good ( indication to see the county filling up l with improved stock. Within the past ] few'years fine breeding horses and cattle ( have taken attention , and in a few years "scrubs" will be a thing of the past. 1 Bev. James Patterson died in Oma ha 1 last week. He had long ? > een act- ively i engaged in church work. J. D. Hoffer , ono of the victims of the t riot at the Burlington depot in Lin- coin on the 11th of last August , filed his petition in the district court last week , alleging $10,000 damages against , the road for the injuries he sustained by means of a pistol shot he received in the left 1 leg below the knee. Hoffer was going to Pacific Junction , Iowa , and was a passensrer on the train when the riot took place. He resides at Cawker City , Kan. , and is said to be a cripple for life because of his wound. The large frame building in Avoca , occupied by Peters & Bells as a saloon and billiard hall , was burned to the 'ground last week. The building was owned by Caleb Davis and was insured for $ ' 725 , all it was worth. It is believed to be the work of an incendiary , as there had been no fire in the building for oyer a month , and it was not five minutes from the time the fire was first discovc ered until the whole bnilding was on fire and a strong odor of kerosene filled the air. . . .

The parade finally started shortly after 10 o'clock , with Mayor Grant nnd representative delegates from civil , industrial and commercial socie ties and organizations in advance. > When the reviewing staud was/reached , tho mayor presented an address to Pres ident Harrison. This body then took tho places which had been reserved for them , on either Bide of the president Next came General Bntterfield , chief marshal , followed by his staff. The first tableau , "Tho Declaration of In dependence , " was intended to represent the reading of the Declaration of Inde- > endence by John Nixon , in the state [ muse yard at Philadelphia , July 8,1770 , This float was surrounded by an escort of 100 members of the society of veter ans of the regular army and navy. This was followed by other floats , guarded by detachments of cadets , and representing "Washington and His Generals , Mounted , , " and "SYashington Grossing the Delaware. " Following came 3,500 school i children , escorting a tableau of "Washington at Valley Forge in the winter of 1777 and 1778. " The exempt firemen's association of tho city , to the number of 200 , came next , and aftor them Tammany hall braves under the ohieftianship i of General John Cochrane. . Several I temperance societies' and Knights ] of Pythias preceded the float. "The resignation of the commission , " and i the Yonkers cadet corps escorted "The first inauguration.

Delaware Christianizing the savages. Maryland Lord Baltimore and George < Calvert. Pennsylvania Penn's treaty. Georgia Last pre-revolutionary col- onial i settlement. After these came the most interesting \ feature , the Caledonian club of New York and the Seventy-ninth Highland regiment of veterans. The Swiss cen- j tennial committee , with Swiss tableau , were escorted by centennial sharpshoot ers , and then came the firemen's divis- ion > , consisting of about 4,000 men. Four hundred Brooklyn police came along { just after the firemen and pre sented a line appearance. The crowd at Union square to-day was J greater than that of yesterday , and the { police had all they could do to keep the immense throng in order. Stands , every window facing the square , roofs of the surrounding buildings and sidej walks were crowded nlid packed with a mass of humanity. 'President Harrison , in i his barouche , drawn by five horses and headed by a squad of police , accom panied by Vice President Morton , Col- ouel [ Kruger and Lieutenant Judson , IT. S. { A. , drove up to the Madison square reviewing stand at 10:10. Ex-Presidents Hayes and Cleveland , Secretaries Proci tor j , Tracy , Windom and Busk , General Sherman and B. B. Harrison , had previl ously arrived. Mayor Grant , with a body of aides , who had been waiting at twen- ty-fifth street , then stepped forward and presented the president with an address , enclosed in a cylender of repousse sil ver. The address was signed by Mayor Grant and a large number of business and other prominent men of the city. It presents anew to the president their allegiance to the government , constitu- Hon and laws , with their congratulations upon the completion of a century of constitutional government. ' The mayor then took his place beside the president and the big parade began to pass by. . The president left the reviewing stand at 3:40 , and drove at once to Vice Presii dent Morton's. It was estimated that i at that time 90,000 men had passed be- fore him. • VARIOUS WASHINGTON MATTERS. ( .

" ) special : A strong un dercurrent feeling was displayed here yesterday over tho plat of the city as laid off by tho city council. It appears that in order to satisfy the greed of ceri tain Bettlors , some streets woro made much narrower than others and some blocks almost twice as long as others. The plat of the city was made public yesterday. The marshal , who by the , way , has secured fpr himself two cor- ' ner lots , began yesterday to clear the streets of such obstructions as tents and frame buildings. As a consequence some have become suddenly aware that they are living in the streets. Those who were forced out of the streets im- mediately proceeded to jump other peoj pie's lots. Several were hung in effigy and men walked abont with Winches ters. No trouble occurred , however , and it is hoped that the good sense that pervades the community will pre- vent any serious affray. Miss Nanninta Daisy , the Oklahoma lady boomer was shot through the arm by a SantaFe en- Sfineer named Stafford who had jumped ler claim. Miss Daisy was making a visit to her claim after filing on it nnd was met by Stafford , who * fired three shots at her. She is not seriously in- jured , however. Miss Daisy has friends who have resolved to see her rights pro- tected. It is Baid Stafford abandoned his engine before 12 o'clock Monday to stake out his claim. . The president and secretary of the in- terior have called upon the United States officials in Oklahomachargedin the report of the inspectors of thein- terior department with corrupt practices in connection with the public lands in that territory for any explanation they may desire to make in relation thereto. The following telegram was forwarded to the adjutant-general from Gen. Mer- ritt yesterday : . "Everything is quiet in Oklahoma ter- ritory. I anticipate no further trouble in the country from any cause , but will in the event of any disturbance return at ] once to Oklahoma. I propose later to withdraw part of the troops in the terri- tory.

It is stated in official circles that a p way has been found to bring together y i Senators Sherman and Qua } ' . It will a be remembered that the latter senator f took offense at the former for urging y ex-Governor Hart , of Ohio , for the po- p sition of solicitor of internal revenue c ] when Senator Quay contended that it y was agreed between him and the Ohio n delegation that Judge Gilkinson , of Bristol , Pa. , was to have the place. „ Gilkinson is to be made judge for the United States court for the northern ft district of Florida , so it is stated. Seu- i , ator Sherman's friends saj' that tho f Ohio senator did not osk for Gilkinsons' jj appointment , and that it was brought 0 about through the personal influence of B Senator Quay and is the outgrowth of a fc contention between the factions in Floa rida. The Florida republicans present0 ed two candidates and for n while it \ \ seemed as though they could not come V together. At a time when they were 0j farthest apart Senator Quay presented B Judge Gilkinson , and the report goes ft that he was accepted. Gilkinson , if ap- \ \ pointed to this place , will have a bettl ter berth than he would have received m . had he been appointed solicitor of inti ternal ( revenue. ti NEBRASKA DELEGATES WH1I1 CONFER.

" "Auld Lang Syne I , " "My Country's Flag of Stau. " The ' sound of bells calling the people to thanksgiving i services in various churches ( awakened people anew to the true j solemnity of the occasion. Services were held in all churches of the city of every ( denomination , votive masses being 1 offered up in the Catholic churches < , at which special prayers were held. ] As a matter of course tho princi pal I services were at St. Paul's church , in 3 Broadway , where Washington at tended \ on the morning of his inaugura tion. \ The exercises were , conducted by Bt. ] Bev.

Samuel Pro- vooat. \ Bishop Potter's address was an eloquent { one. After dwelling on the exalted ( character of Washington , espec ially j on the deep religious feeling which governed him , as shown on the day of his ] inauguration when he came to wor ship in this very church , the speaker touched on the constitution of the United ] States and the vast work which had ] brought its members into one body. After the ceremonies in the church were concluded , the presidential party , es corted b3T the committee , were driven down to tho snb-treasnry building , at the f corner of Wall and Nassau streets , where the literary exercises of the day began. j . Here Hon. Channcey Depew , orator of the day made an address , of which J the following is an extract : "The solemn ceremonial of the first inauguration j , " said the speaker , "the reverent oath of Washington , the ac claim-of . the multitude greeting their president , marked the most unique event of modern times in the develop- ment of free institutions. The occa sion was not an accident but a result. It was the culmination of the working out by mighty forces through many centuries of self-government. It was not the triumph of a system , the appli- cation of a theory , or the reduction to practice of the abstractions of philoso- phy. The time , the country , thehered- ity and environment of the people , the folly of its enemies , and tho noble con- rage of its friends , gave to liberty after ages of defeat , of trial , of experiment , of partial success and substantial gains , this immortal victory. " Mr. Depew reviewed at length the characteristics of the pioneers of the country who fled'from the tyranny of the ' old world and planted the seed of civil and religious liberty in the new. They had been purified in the furnace of experience and in high debate and on bloody battlefields had learned to sacrifice all material interests and to peril their lives for human rights. - The traditions and experience of the colo- nists had made them alert to discover and quick to resisi any peril to their liberties. The farmers' shot at Lex- ington echoed round the world ; the spirit l which it awakened could do and 3are and die. The thunders of Patrick Henry in Virginia , the fervid eloquence of James Otis in Massachusetts , the pledges of Hamilton , Jay and Clinton that New York would contribute men md means to the common cause , in- fnsed confidence in the wavering , yet their vision only saw a league of inae- pendent colonies. The veil was not yet Irawn from before the vista , of populac iion and power , of empire and liberty , ivhich would open with national union. The continental congress partially rrasped , but completely expressed , the sentral ( idea of American republic. More j inlly than any other which ever assem- bled did it represent the victories won c trom arbitrary power for human right 8 En the new world it was the conservator s f liberties secured through centuries of f itruggle { in the old. The men who r ought the bajttles and staked theirjives ind ] their means on the issue of the " rey- c jlution ] were the heirs and guardians of E he priceless treasures of mankind. A rear ( of doubt and debate , the baptism f blood upon the battlefields , where f toldiers from every colony fought under i1 common standard , and consolidated : he continental army , gradually lifted he soul and understanding of this im- . nortal congress to the sublime declara tion : "We , therefore , the representay tives of the United States of America , in general congress assembled , appeal- ? hg to the Supreme Judge of the World v for the rectitude of our intentions , do , in the name and by the authority of the ood people of these colonies , solemnly b publish and declare that these united jolonies < are , and of right , ought to be , ree and independent states. " _ The immortal charter of freedom was fl signed by men upon whose heads tyrtl irits ' had set a price. For them it was a I leath warrant or a diploma of immora ality , aswith firm hand high purpose md undaunted resolution , they sub R scribed their names. p More clearly than any statesman of 1 he period did Thomas Jefferson grasp a ind.divine the possibilities of popular n government. ' He caught and crystal- * zed the ppirit of free institutions. He * vas singularly free from the power * of e jrecedents and the chains of prejudice. * Upon the famous axiom , of equality D aefore ' the law , he constructed his sys- J ] em. It inspired him to write the DecS oration of Independence , breaking the P inks binding the colonists to imperial c tuthority and pulverizing the privileges F f ] caste. With peace came the strifes 1 Is f factions , of jealousies between disn mnr communities , the intense growtu f provincial pride and interests , which * or a time threatened the existence of he nation. Congress then framed the * . Articles of Confederation , which were onnded on the doctrine of states' Cl ights. They reversed the Declaratloi " Independence , and instead of en- c rusting power to the people , conferred on the state legislatures. All states tad.an eqnal voice without , regardto opulation , and any five of , them , could * dock the wheels of government. This • ras a' fatal weakness. - .Congress , could ai leitherlevy taxes nor impose duties nor tl ; ollect excise. Anarchy threatened its • r xistence at home and contempt met its epresentatives abroad. But evec * " hrough Cimerian darkness shot a flame * j rhich illnminnted the coming century ) ndkept bright the beacon fires of liber- * j . The architects of constitutional free- iom formed their institutions with wis- : iom which forecasted the future. Tho ? : \ tioral and intellectual forces forming m he foundation of tho nation as- j ented to the limitation of tho boundJv ries of states , and gave congress the ower to levy and collect taxes. The JT atriotism which had been misled , but * F ever faltered , rose above the interests the states and the jealousies of jarr- Sj ig confederates to find tho basis for fV lio union. The corner stone of the - difice whose centennary we aracele- \ ° rating was the ordinance of 1787. It Jf as constructed by the feeblest of con- ' u IIMM tflWWMi iMIMilM . -i . " n - ' - . i r i'J i . ' " ' " " M g f .presses , , bnt few enactments inanqienf. , or modern times have had more far- Reaching and beneficent effect. It is one of the aublimest paradoxes of his tory that this weak confederation oi states should have welded * tho chain. ) againBt which , aftor soventy-fonr years of fretfnl effort for release , its own spirit frantically dashed and died. Tho ex perience of 100 years has demonstrated for us the perfection of the work , for defense against foreign foes and for self- preservation against domestic insurrec tion , for limitless expansion in popula tion and material development , and for steady growth in intellectual freedom- and force. Its continuing influonoin upon the welfare and destiny of the hu man race can only be measured by the capacity of man to enjoy the boundless opportunities of liberty and law. The eloquent characterization of Mr. Glad stone condenses its merits. "The Amer ican coz titution is tho most wonderful work ever struck off at a given timo by the brain and purpose of man. " The speakor then reviewed at length the struggles following the inauguration of Washington , the various amendments to the constitution , the creation and per fection of the various departments of tho government , the inception of tho supreme court which defined and con firmed the enlarged power of congress and tho rights of states , the wise and , conservative counsels of the first presi- dent and the great debt posterity owes to his administration. Aftor briefly sketching tho wonderful growth and de velopment of th > country , Mr. Depew concluded / ollws tu- -ws : "The snn of our destiny is still r sing , and its rays illuminate vast territories as yet unoccupied and undeveloped , nnd which aro to be the happy homes of mili lions of peoplo. The questions which affect the powers of government nnd tho expansion or limitation of tho authority of tho federal constitution are so com- pletely settled , and so unanimously ap- . proved , that our political divisions proi duco only the healthy antogonism of parties which is necessary for the preservation of , libert } ' . Our iustitu- tions furnish tho full equipment of shield nnd spear for the battles of freedom , and absolute protection ngaiust : every danger which threatens the welfare of the people will always be found in the intelligence which appro1 ciates ' their value , and tho courage and morality ; with which their powers aro ext ercised. ' The spirit of Washington fills the executive office. Presidents • may not : rise to the full measure of his greatt ness : , but they must not fall below his standard ! of public duty and obligation , His life and character , conscientiously studied ' and thoroughly understood by coming ' generations , will be , for them , a liberal ' education for private life and pnblis 1 station , for citizenship and imtrio otism. ( for love and devotion to tho union and ' liberty. With their inspiring past and ' splendid present , tho peoplo of these * United States , heirs of 100 years marvelonsly ' rich in all which tfclds to the ' glory and greatness of a nation , with an abiding \ trust in the stability and elastic- ity } of their constitution , and an aboundI ing faith in themselves , hail the coming century with hope and joy. " President Harrison was then intror duced , nnd , being greeted with a grand outburst of cheering , spoke as follows : "These proceedings are of a very ex- acting character and make it quite imt J possible that I should deliver an address on this occasion. At an early date I notified your committee that the pro- t gramme : must not contain any address t j by I me. The selection of Mr. Depew as t the orator on this occasion made any j further speech not only difficult but superfluous. He has met the demand of the occasion on its own high level , He \ has brought before ns the incidents s of the ceremonies of the great inangnr- atiou of Washington. We seem to be a pait of the admiring and almost adorr ing [ throng that filled these streets 100 years ago , to greet the always inspiring c presence of Washington. He was the I incarnation of duty , and teaches us , tofi day , tho great lesson that those who v would associate their name with events I that shall outlive a century can only o do so by the highest consecration to S' duty. Ho was like a captain who n goes to sen , and throws overboard s his cargo of rags that ho may gain tl safety ? and deliverance for his imperc illed fellow men. Washington seemed t to come to the discharge of the duties g of his high office impressed with a great o sense of his uufamiliarity with the po sition newly thrnstupon him , and mod estly doubtful of hisown ability , but trusting implicity in that God who rules j the world , and presides in the conscience ij of nations , arid his power to control hu- . man events. " ; We have made marvelous progress in a material events since then , but the & stately and enduring shaft we have n built at the national capital at Washing- ton symbolizes the fact that he is still T the first American citizen. " ai The remarks of the president were w frequently interrupted with cheers , and st when he sat down there came cries for PJ "Morton. " But the vice president si merely responded by rising and bowing c ing to the throng. - m Archbishop Corrigan , attired In his cc ! pontifical robes , then pronounced the benediction. Not , Sanguine of Success. 1C Washington special : The officials in S the ; interior department acquainted with m the recent negotiations with the Sioux f0 > Indians for the possession of 11,000,000 acres of their land to the United States x. are not sanguine of thesuccess of the present commission. This commission is ! governed practically by the same law as the former commission except in the v matter of. the price for the land. The q former ( commission was only authorized o. to ' pay 50 cents per acre , while the presIt ent commission can pay S1.25 per acre. Bi The Indians refused to sell for 50 cents Bi before and the commission brought E them to Washington to confer with i Secretary Vilas. He offered them SI * ' to the ratification * . . per acre subject by J congress of this action. The Indians q\ > refused this and demanded SI.50 and it pJ not now believed they will take $1.25 A ] nnd abont all the commission can hope g , to accomplish is to secure a treaty fromy them ' , naming the price they will take Hi and then ask congress to approve it. Hi Like tronble is anticipated with the Hi work of the Cherokee commission. Both Bi commissions will meet here next week S" to receive final instructions before pro ceeding < West. \y The Grand Trunk Railroad Hsrrsr. " Chicago special : George McKenzie , pc railroad-man of-long experience , made L * statement here to-day that neglect md cruelty augmented'rfhe 'horr6r ofVi he recent wreck on the Grand Trunk Co ailway. He also believes many more 2 * leople were killed than have been rejA lorted. ! McKenzie went to the scene h ( f the wreck to look after the body of a Ci relative. He ays the accident occurred Sn dmqst directly above the edge of the anal. A line of men with buckets ould have brought plenty of water to V' ' Hit out the fire in the wrecked cars. k ° Che company's shops were only a few V.x mndred feet away and plenty of men night have been had in pulling the A vrecked cars apart and extinguishing be flames , but no such actionwas Wi aken and the company did not even Coi all out the Hamilton fire department. Oa iTcKenzie saj-s the Grand Trunk heated Ca" he cars in the train with the oldfashHo oned coal stoves , which had no protec- ection , and this he thinks accouuts for Cai he speedy burning of the train. 1 Ho ' l MK0Smt\ \ i ' \ * < j | . . . . . _ , ij ± * : -i , EXCITEMENT IN THE FBEWCH CAPITAL | of the HedS&m A Crank Fire * at tho President & public Threat * of Lynch lug- , " * | jli Paris cablegram : As Presiden t Carnofc • % jfg3 was leaving tho palace of the Elysefc to 4 ; > J attend tho centennial celebration nt VerMi E | sailles to-day a stranger drew a pistol jf4fi" ; | nnd pointing directly at him fired. The- . - , , . \ - | man was immediately seized and a rush • , J to dis- , . • was mado toward the president ( - < cover tho extent of his injury. M.

Tho man who did the shooting- , | | gave has name as Perrin , and his occu- % * ; 1j ] pntion as a marine storekeeper. He- - * t-d stated that ho had no desiro to kill the- tjIJ president nnd showed the truth of hi * - * tM assortion by proving that he had fired a ; cj'J blauk cartridge. He declared that he - had been punished , unjustly by the gov- 7 | ernor of Martiniquo and his object n > firing was solely for tho purpose of call- % - . ' ing attention to his wrongs and the fact that tho persecution ho had undergone ' . > had reduced him to poverty. He had - . : been unable to obtain redress from his ' * , persecutors nnd belioved that his action * V in tiring tho blank cartridge would direct tho president's attention to his 7 case. \ Perrin is evidently insauo on the- ; subject ; of his grievances. AT TUB CEN'TEN'NrAIi. President Carnot was enthusiastically ' cheered ' by the crowds which lined the- way ; from tho palace to "Versailles. Upon his i arrival he unveiled a memorial tab let J affixed to tho building in which the- states i general met 100 hundred years ago i to-day. Tho grand assembly had congregated < in the hall of mirrors and were addressed by M. Leroyor , presi dent < of tho senate , after M. Carnot's ar- i rival. ] It was no longer , ho said , dep uties i of the third estimated to whom , the I privilege of standing upright was- denied , but tho elected representatives , of tho nation were bowing before their freely 1 elected chief to pay tribnte to tho . great ; dead to whom they owed their liberty. 1 "It becomes those old strag glers ; for liberty , " ho continued , "to re mind us that tho Bovolntion not only bequeathed 1 to us doctrines , but lessons. j If the revolutionists sinned by tho au dacity of their dreams , wo sin by our want of self-abnegation , our incomplete knowledge 1 of our duties nnd our hesita- - ; tions t of policy. " • > M. Leroyor asked President Carnot ; to t raise his voice in order to guide ' , Frenchmen in tho direction of mutual • concessions. ' . M. Carnot said : "Pgreet in the pal- J ace of tho old monarchy tho represent atives of a nation now in complete pos session of itself , the mistress of her des- , tinies and full of splendor , strength and liberty. The first thoughts of this- r ' solemn meeting turn fo our fathers. That immortal generation o , f . 1789 , by j dint of courage and many sacrifices , se cured to ns tho benefits which we must i bequeath to our sons as a most prccions- heritage. 1 " f He reminded all that in France the- ( personal power of ono man was a thing of tho past no matter what title he may take. Tho sole sovereign now is the- laws ' enacted by the representatives of the nation. j The bishop of Versailles addressed ( President Carnot , saying that though they had fallen as victims in the revolu tion of 1789 , the clergy had shared in .1 the movements toward reformation and _ _ . j had never ceased to givo proof of their " "j | readiness to mnko sacrifices for their * country. He congratulated Carnot on fj his escapefrom the assanlt of the assas- ' -i sin and rejoiced that the occasion was- v' ' one on which a tribute was paid to a j man whose dignity and character com- ' , manded the respect of all. M. Carnot exchanged the posting- chaise in which he had ridden from Elysee for a cnlache , equipped in a fashion exactly similar to the one in which the emperors used to ride to- J. Longchamps. M. Carnot was vocifer- f ? ' onsly cheered everywhere. Tho ab- * { sence ' of ladies from the exercises caused much comment nnd speculation. Jn spite of the heavy rain which prevailed , ' this evening the streets of Paris were- i crowed. Parties , balls , fetes , illumina- ' tions : and torchlight processions were- I given in all the principal towns through out the republic. \ Millionaire Hull's Wi ! . Chicago dispatch : A dozen heirs-at- ' * ' law , of the recently deceased aged mil lionaire . , Charles J.

Mr. Hull bequeathed all of his estate , - „ • ; aearly $4,0G'JC00 , to hi3 housekeeper , sonsin < and friend , Miss Helen Culver. This action caused great dissatisfaction i imong th * heirsjoi-lov ?
