Marseilles, Prance, Dec. 11. Sud denly possessed of an insane blood lust, Pierre Bouvier, a wealthy wine merchant today shot and killed his wffe and mother, butchered his two small daughters and a son with a razor and shot and killed an older daughter and the cnief clerk in the counting house. He ended his bloody carnival by sending a death-dealing bullet into his own brain. Bouvier was one of the most weal thy resident, of this citv. nml .w.is "Tknown throughout tho surrounding vicinity. He arose as usual this morning, but while preparing to go to his place of business the mania to kill came upon him. , Drawing a revolver from his pock et, he shot his wife through the heart When his aged mother, attracted by the sound of the shot rushed to the room, she was met by a fusillade of bullets, and fell dying by the side of her daughter-in-law. Running to hla apartments the maniac seized a razor that lay on a dressing table, and rushed to the part of the house occu pied by his two little daughters and his son. Grasping the youngest child by the 1 hair, he drew the razor across her throat, almost severing her head from her body. Frantic with terror, the other children fled from the room, followed by Bouvier, his face spat tered with the blood of the little girl. Cornering the children in another part of the house, the crazed father cut their throats and left them dying on the floor. Clasping thle gory razor in one hand, and his revolver in the other, he rushed from the house and ran to his offlce. In the counting room stood his eld est daughter and the chief clerk. When he leveled the revolver at the defenseless girl, the clerk sprung to ward him, and received a bullet through his chest. Leaping over the prostrate body or the man Bouvier shot his daughter twloe through the head, killing her Instantly. He then placed the gun against his right temple and blew out his brains. The bodies of the seven victims and that of the murderer werie taken in charge by the authorities, and re moved to the Marseilles morgue.

The city is said to be panic-stricken. Estrada has thrown, out his out posts to meet the attacking army, but it is rumored that the revolutionary force js inferior in numbers to the army Zelaya has mobilized. Estrada sympathizers apparently are obessed with a fear that the city is doomed to fall into the possesion of the Zclayans. All that will save the city, they claim, is the landing of marines from the American war shins.

The report that tho soldiers will bo permitted free range when tho city Is captured has created consterna- natlon in Blueflelds. Evory effort to tako tho womon and children to places of safety is being made. It is thought that Zelayas order permit ting his men to sack the city, is in tended to result in tho establishment of a horrible example for future rev olutionary loaders. Tho turn in affairs has rod to tho belief on the part of many persons in touch with Central American affairs, that tho recent reports from Zelaya that he was ready to resign, was only part of his crafty policy and was de signed to lead tho revolutionists Into over confidence.

It Is known, however, that Zelaya's agents have been exceeding ly active during the last two weeks, and many conscripts have been added to thieir ranks. For more than two weeks Zelaya'3 army has been lying In the vicinity of Rama. Estrada's forces, expecting an attack, had erected fortifications and dug trenches about town, whicn wore interspersed with tangles of barbed wire. Several minor engage ments about Rama, In which tho rev olutionists were signal victorious led the deflenders to believe that the dic tator was planning a massed attacked In the near future. That Zelaya was covering his actu al Intent to move upon Blueflelds Is now evident. The defenders of tho city are Bald to have been woefully weakened by the removal of most of their forces to Rama, where It was believed Zelawnya would center his attack. The cunning of the former president was Illustrated by his stra tegic move upon Blueflelds. Couriers have been dispatched to Rnma bear ing news of the Impending attack. It is deemed doubtful that they can break through tho lino Zelaya s ro- , ported to have thrown tn the tan of his main tinny.

Chicago, Dec. 11. A honeymoon delayed threo and a half years by tho shock of the San Francisco earthquake and fire, was resumed here today when William S. Moyors told tho remarkable story of how he lost his identity during tho earth quake and how it was suddenly re stored recently by the horror of boo lng a man ground to death under a train at Tama, Iowa. Meyers who formerly was a con tractor here, was married in April 1906, and two days after his mar riago was forced to take a midden trip to San Francisco to attend to some busiuess. Ho had worked all night and was still at work on tho morning of tho 'quake Something struck him on tho head. Meyers said today that ho bo lieved he was sandbagged and rob bod. When ho awoke ho was in a hospital and could not remember his identity. Meyers' bride became convlncod that he was killed In tho 'qhako or lost his llfo in the llro and for more than three years she has mourned him as dead.
