STABBED WHILE IX HIS CARRIAGE
Difficult Task of the Police to
Prevent
the Mob from
Wreaking
its
Vengeance Upon the Murderer,
Lyons, June 25. President Carnot
was assassinated last XSunday) evening
by an anarchist. He was stabbed to the
heart and died . almost immediately.
Tne president was visiting Lyons in con
nection "with the international exhib
ition. Upon his arrival he was tendered
a reception nt the prefecture, after which
he visited tl.e exhibition, he proceeded
to the Palais tie Commerce, where a
banquet was given in his honor. About
9 :25 o'clocK the president started for the
theater, where a gala performance was
to be given because of hia presenco in
the city. Several carriages were in the
procession, the first one being occupied
by the president. Carnot's carriage was
driven slowly along in front of 'e
Palais de Commerce, and then turind
into Bue de la Republique, still follow
ing the facade of the Palais. When
halfway down the street, which was
lined with enthusiastic crowds of peiple
who were loudly cheering, a man ruehed
out of the crowd and sprang upon the
.step of the president's landau.
JuBt at this moment M. Carnot was
waiving his right hand and saluting
with his hdt in his left hand in response
to the ovation that was being given him
bv the crowd. The people close to the
carriage saw that the man standing on
the step had a knife in his hand. By
the glare of the electric lighte they saw
the bright blade gleaming in the air as
the assassin's arm descended, and then
President Carnot was seen to fall back
in hisTBeat, bis face deathly pale. One
of his hands was pressed to bis heart
where the steel had entered the body
M. Eivaud, prefect of Lyons, who was
seated at the side of President Carnot,
immediately struck the assassin a blow
full in the face and knocked him from
the step, thus preventing the man
from stabbing the president again.
7l
rhich it was his evident intention to do
Instantly cries of "Le President est ass
assin !" Mort la assassin " were heard
on every side, and the crowd in the
vicinity of the carriage swelled to enor
mous proportions, every member of it
seemingly intent upon killing the ass
assin. He was grasped by a dozen
hands, and his life would have then and
there paid the penalty of his crime had
it not been for several sergeants de ville
who seized him and attempted to draw
him away from his captors. This was
found to be impossible, for the in-
furiated populace was determined to
lynch the man AH efforts of the ser
geants availed nothing beyond saving
the man from instant death. Blows
were aimed at his face, and he was
raised to the shoulders of the police
who had by this time received reinforce
merits, and many of the blows landed
fairly. At length the police succeeded
in driving the howling mob back a foot
or so from the prisoner, but to get the
captive through the crowd was a physi
cal impossibility. . "
In the meantime, the news had spread
with lightning-like .rapidity, and
mounted guards were sent to- the aid of
the police, who were struggling to pre-
serve the life of the assassin. With
drawn sabers in their hands, the guards
rode down into the crowd, heedless of
whom the horses trampled upon. The
crowd gave way before the horses, and
ai. last- me center of the mob was
reached. Then a cordon was formed
around the almost exhausted policemen
and their captive, and their march to
the police station began. Even thus
surrounded, the prisoner was not safe,
for men in the crowd made frantic efforts
to reach him. The guards repelled
these attacks with the flat sides of their
swords, at the same time keeping watch

fore has such a wild and
indignant de-
mohstration . against a
human being
been seen in this city. .
In the meantime physicians were im
mediately summoned to the president,
who had been conveyed to the prefec
ture. A careful examination was made
of the wound, and the doctors declared
his condition hopeless.
The news of the aesassination caused
creat sensation at the Grand theater,
which was filled to. the walls by the elete
Lyons. The theater presented a
brilliant scene, the handsome toilettes of
the ladies being offset by the gay uni
forms of the many military officers pres
ent. All were waiting with impatience
the arrival of the president, and all
were unable to understand the delay,
Suddenly a man entered the theater
crying at the top of his voice :
The president has ' been assassin
ated."
The most intense excitement followed
this abrupt announcement.' Women
screamed and several fainted. Many
men without waiting for their hats, ran
out of the building in order to confirm
the news. They found all the streets
leading to the palace filled with ex
cited throngs, and in a few minutes the
report was true. Suddenly through the
throng sped a landeau conveying
Andrin Dupuy, a brother of the prime
minister, Deputy Chandey and: Pre
fect Eivaud, the crowd giving way be
fore the carriage as it dashed into the
Rue de la Republique, preceeded by
four mounted gen d'armes. The crowd
thinking now the report of tbemsaassin
ation was untrue and that the president
was in the carriage, shouted :
"ViveCarnot ; vive le Republique.'1--The
carriage was stopped and Chaudey
and Rivaud, in tremulous voice said :
"Don't shout; the president has been
the victim of an outrage."
The cheers were instantly turned to
curses, and many and loud . were tne
cries for vengeance. The landeau pro
ceeded to the theater, where it arrived,
and Chaudey
went to the president's
box. As soon as
they were seen the
whole audience arose, and, amid pro
found silence, Rivaud said in a voice
broken with sobs: ,
"The president has just been assassin
ated."
This announcement was received with
a terrible explosion of fury as the audi
ence, when the first report of the assass
ination reached them, had generally
discredited it. : The theater resounded
with shouts of "A la mort; a la ass
assin, and cries of vengeance upon
him.. When silence was in a measure
restored, Eivaud continued : '
- "In the Rue de la Republique, a mis-
creant, unaer pretext of presenting a
petition, stabbed M. Carnot with a
dagger." '
I
Eivaud was again interrupted with
shouts of, "Death to the murderer; re
venge, revenge." Waving his hands
for silence, Eivaud again spoke, saying
Do not make my mission more
painful.:' We left M. Carnot in the
hands of doctors. . You under
stand ' that under these condU
tionfj our hearts are filled with feor-
row, and that the proposed performance
in the president's honor cannot take
place." ' "
The audience then left the building,
many bf them proceeding at once to the
prefecture, where they stood in' th
streets waiting for any report that might
be vouchsafed to them from the building
and discussing the crime they considered
had cast a disgrace upon the fair fame of
their city.
" When the police party reached the
Palais des . Cordiales, they were obliged
to stop, while the landau, in which Gen
eral Borius, the prefect, the mayor and
the wounded president, .escorted by a
detachment of mounted guards on a
gallop, was driven rapidly past en route
to the prefecture. - A second carriage
conyeying the officers of the president's
military household followed close. A
press representative entered a third car
riage, in which were ex-Minister of
Finance Burdeau and Senator Milaud.
On ai riving at the prefecture, General
Borius and the mayor alighted.; : Presi
dent Carnot' lay .unconscious upon the
cushions of the carriage. His eyes were
closed. His waistcoat waa nnbuttcned

cord of the Legion of Honor was con

It was impossible to tell from his ap
pearance whether he was dead or alive.
General Borius, the piefect and the
mayor, carried him as easily as possible
to a room on the first floor of the prefec
ture, and laid him on a bed. Dr. Gaille
ton, who is mayor of .Lyons, then ex
amined the wound,.
Soon after' midnight the archbishop of
Syons was summoned to the bedside of
the dying president, and administered
the sacrament. M. Carnot remained
conscious to the laBt. He realized that
his life was rapidly ebbing awav, and
twice said : " Je mem vrais."' Dr. Pon
cet leaned over the bed and said to him
"Your friends are here, monsieur le
president." . -
Carnot replied : "I am grateful for
their presence."
A minute later he gasped for breath,
there, was a convulsive shuddering . of
his body, and the president of France
was dead. - v .

Deafness Cannot be Cored
By local applications, as they cannot

There is only one way to cure Deafness,
and that is by - constitutional remedies.
Deafness is caused by an inflamed con
dition of the mucous-lining of -the
Eustachian Tube. When this tube gets
inflamed you have a rumbling sound or
imperfect hearing, and when it is entirely
closed Deafness is the result, and unless
the inflammation can be taken out and
this tube restored to its norfnal condi
tion, hearing wilt be destroyed forever;
nine cases out of ten are caused by
catarrh, which is nothing but an in
flamed condition of the mucous surfaces.
