, WANTS HIS HEAD CUT OFF.
Assassin of the Empress Talks About
- , :v His Crime.
Through the assistance of B. H.
Rldgeley, United States Consul here, I
was enab'ed this afternoon to Inter
view Assassin Luochesl In the Palais
de Justice, says a Geneva correspond
ent of the Press Publishing Company.
He was smirking, effusive garrulous
and beaming. Luechesl is small and
gaunt, but athletic, with blue eyes, a
reddish mustache, dirty brown hair, cut
l short and unparted. His demeanor sug
gested an unhinged mind, but his re
plies Indicated clearly his full con
sciousness of the crime In which he
gloried.
"Why did vou select the Empress?
Why not have killed a real ruler king
or president?" he was asked.
"Destiny placed her In my way. She
was here and I struck her.. She was
one of the oppressors."
READY FOR THE GUILLOTINE.
"Would you prefer life Imprisonment
In Geneva, or death in Austria If you
had a choice?"
A look of annoyance passed over his
face as he answered with an accom
panying motion of cutting oft his own
head swiftly: "I should prefer the
French way."
The Judge askeC Lurches! if he would
have murdered King Humbert or
Crlspl.
"Humbert? Oh. ves, with pleasure,
but not Crlspl. Crlspl Is a thief. I take
inv hat off to thieves. Never murder
a thief," and he laughed aloud.
FOND OF SMOKING.
Even the Judge was scandalized,
though he Is used to criminals. After
a while Lnrrhesl sild: "I asked for
clpnrs. Shu II I iret them?"
"We will see." said the Judge, and
ordered him back to pr'snn. His hands
were free and he wore his own clothes
jacket and jersey.
MAT BE EXTRADITED TO AUSTRIA
It Is asserted here that Luechesl, be
ing a foreigner, may be extradited to
Austr'a. where be will be tried and
sentenced to death for his atrocious
crime.
. WHAT THE TRANSVAAL TREAS
URY CHEST HELD.
Frequently the statenient has been
made that when the treasury chest In
the Transvaal was opened in 1877 it
was found to contain only 12s. 6d. Mr.
It. Rider Haggard, the novelist, has
corrected this statement. He is almost
certain that the sole coin found there
was a three-penny bit. He says that
the financial situation was so acute
that the postmasters had to help them
selves to their own salaries in stamps.
Mr. Haggard ought to know, for he was
one of the officials who took over the
treasurv chest. London Financial
News.
DEATH OF AN ENGLISH LADY
DOCTOR.
I Dalziel cables from Bombay: Dr.
Elizabeth Phillips, one of three Euro
peans attacked by the plague within

the disease. The plague is increasing
I in the city where 59 deaths have been
jreported within the cast two days,
making 27,800 in all. At Hubli about
60 deaths occur dailv, and there are

ESSENCE O" MANY NEWSY AND
INTERESTING MATTERS.
The London Standard's correspondent
describes the humorous exploit of a
Paris thief. He was known to have
been in one of a block of houses, which
were promptly surrounded by the po
lice. They searched every nook and
cranny of the roofs in vain. At last a
gendarme found the robber's ragged
clothes in an attic. He had stripped off
everything he had and dressed him
self in a suit of good clothes. He then
joined the crowd and watched the un.
He Is still at liberty.
FIFTY CIGARS IN A LADY'S HAT.
At Harwich yesterday, says the
Westminster Gazette, a foreign lady
who gave her name as Marie Verber,
and an address at Hyde Park mansions,
London, was fined 2 14s. 6d for smug
gling three pounds of cigars. She was
a passenger on a boat from Rotterdam
to Harwich, and on being asked to de
clare wether she had any tobacco, ci
gars or slrits she replied "No." When
searched however, the cigars were
found In her possession, 50 of them be
ing in the crown of her hat.
ENOCH ARDEN UP-TO-DATE.
An Ostend correspondent gives par
ticulars of a story of the Enoch Arden
order. A sailor, named Lucas, having
been missing for twenty years, his wife
obtained a legal declaration of his
death, and remarried. Lucas recently
returned to Ostend, and has just suc
ceeded in obtaining the annulment of
the declaration before the Tribunal at
Bruges. The Question of the wife's
second marriage has yet to be dealt
with.
CASTLES IN THE SAND.
There has been an interesting prize
competition at Weymouth, Inaugurated
by the Mayor,' There were three prizes
for the best built sand castles, to be
erected by not more than four children
under the ace of 14. From a sympa
thetic account of the proceedings In the
London Daljy Mail it appears that the
the borough surveyor was the Judge.
Altogether the Scheme was a great suc
cess. : An extension of the competition
is hoped for next year.

GREENE IN
REVOLUTION.
Great Difficulties uiA Not Keep Him
From Final Victory.
No outline of Greene's campaign can
do full justice to him and to his army.
There is no great dramatic moment
when he arose at once triumphant to
the complete victory at which he aim
ed. From the day when he took com
mand of a beaten army at Charlotte to
that other day, two years later, when
he rode victorious into Charleston, he
had been laboring incessantly with the
single purpose of pressing the British
back to the sea and setting free the
Southern States. The forces under his
eortiiriTd IimiI fought four pitcher bat
tles. Morgan won at the Cowpens, and
Greene was defeated at Guilford and
llobkirk's Hill, and had fought a drawn
battle at Kutr.w. Judged merely by this
statement of his battles, one would call
him an unsuccessful general, and yet
he was steadily victorious. By his de
tachments under the really brilliant
leadership of Marion, Lee and Sum
ter, of Williams and Washington and
the rest, by his masterly retreats and
eaually masterly strategy, he held his
army together with grim tenacity, and
surely and steadily forced the British
back before an advance not always ap
parent, but as resistless as the incom
ing tide, which seems never to gain
and yet ever rises higher and higher.
And ever behind and hand in hand
with the operations in the field went on
continually the grinding, harassing
work of making and re-making the ar
my. shifting perpetually under the
wretched system of short enlistments.
In the North, miserable as the ar
rangements were, the army was near
Congress, they were supplied by con
tract, thev were in the most settled
parts of the country, and the loyalists
there were genara!lv few and weak
Greene fought through a country
where a large part of the native popu
lation was in arms asraist him, and
where it was often difficult to tell
friend from foe. He had no contracts,
but was obliged to rely on the change-
cb;e. well-meaning, but often weak and
ill-informed state governments. There
was never a moment when he was not
short of men, money, ammunition and
supplies, and when he was not writing.
supplicating, demanding all these
things, and but rarel" obtained them.
Under these conditions, aided by his
singularly gallant and enterprising of
ficers, and by the picked lighting men
of the South, whom he gradually gath
ered around him he came to a com
plete victory. Senator Lodge, in
Scribner's.
I NOVEL WEDDING PROCESSIONS.
Making the Trip to the Church Behind
', a Trey-thin Engine.
Boston Traveller.
People on marriage intent freqnently
single out the day on which the knot is
tied in a manner calculated to attract
attention, and at times this is done by
means of an out-of-the-way procession,
Last year, for instance, the villagers of
East Peckham, Kent, England, naa a
treat of this description. The marriage
was celebrated at Holy Trinity church,
and the enntrnctinsr names. totrether
1 with their relatives and friends, made
the Journey to the church in trucks
drawn by a traction engine. The trucks
and the engine were decorated with
flags, flowers and evergreens, and the
unique procession attracted crowds of
people, the route being thronged. On
the conclusion of the ceremony, the
newly-married couple and their friends
resumed their seats in the trucks, and
were conveyed back to Yalding for the
wedding breakfast.
.. One would prefer this mode of locom
otion on the wedding day rather than
that of another couple, whose marriage
took place in Birmingham a few years
ago. They adopted the unique plan of
going to the church to be married In
mourning coaches, but the horses wore
white rosettes, as an Intimation to the
public no doubt, that they were not taking-
part in a funeral.
The cycling craze has been responsible
for manv processions of cyclists In
cases where the contracting parties
have been ardent lovers of the wheel.
In Germany, quite recently, the brfde
and bridegroom started off on their
bicycle for the honey-moon as soon as
the knot was tied, and made a journey
through Southern Germany and Italy,
and returned by a circuitous route to
Berlin. On reaching that city they
were met bv a procession of cyclists,
composed of the members of their fam
ilies and friends, and headed by their
respective mothers-in-laws rather a
novel use for this much-maligned mem
ber of society. ThuB escorted, the new
ly married pair were led In triumph to
the door of their new home.
At another wedding the bride and
bridegroom, together with the brides
maids and a number of friends, made
the Journey to church and back again,
on their bicvcles, the machines being
tastefully decorated with flowers for
the occasion. The party numbered
about thirtv, and. after the wedding
breakfast, escorted the "happy pair"
for a spin In the neighborhood, the
novel procession attracting a good deal
of attention.

ONLY A REGULAR.
How a Hero of El Canev Saved the
Lives of Volunteers.
Blair, a regular, said to be of the
Seventeenth, was shot through the
groin at El Caney, July 1st. Two
wounded men of the Seventy-first New
York fell beside him, in worse shape
than he. Thev could not move. He
could a little.
A Spanish sharpshooter on their right
had the range of them as thev lay
there, their comrades having pushed on.
Although down, the three men were
his target.
"Spit!" and one of the bullets cut a
lock of hair from Blair's forehead.
"Spit!" acain and one of the New
Yorkers winced as his shoulder was
cut. ,
Blair, for a time could not locate the
fellow, but finally discovered him 300
yards distant un a tree. He was in
cautious and displayed himself in tak
ing aim. Blair had his gun beside
him, and with one shot brought him
down.
Then, wounded in the groin as he
was, he crawled 900 feet to his enemy
to get his canteen of water, and 900
feet bac. not touching it him self, and
poured it down the throats of the two
i,ew Yorkers.
He died holding the drink to the lips
of one them. His only remark as to
his journey was:
"I'm a regular. You fellows have
homes."
One of the New Yorkers survived to
return home and tell the story of this
hero's end. Chicago Times-Herald.
"William, give me a dollar. I want
to go to a clairvoyant."
