Cape Tells What the President XIaa Done and Asks Shall We Have Fonr Years 3Iore. E. V. DEBS AT COOPER UNION HASTY PEOPLE LISTEN TO THE SOCIAL DEMOCRAT CANDIDATE. He Advises Ills Hearers to Invest Their Montr In n Socialistic Propaganda PHILADELPHIA, Oct. SO. A mass meeting la the Interest of McKinley and Roosevelt was held In the Academy of Muic to-night under the auspices of the Young Republican Club of Philadelphia, at -which Secretary of the Treasury Gage was the principal speaker. The large auditorium was crowded, many women being in the audience. - Secretary Gage was escorted to the Academy by a committee and when he made his appearance on the stage he was enthusiastically welcomed. Secretary Gage said In part: "Shall we continue In power for four years more William McKinley or shall we substitute in his place Mr. Bryan? The Republican President has stood for nearly four years In that white light which casts exaggerated shadows over all faults and weakness. Ills record is known. Since Lincoln's time no President has had thrown upon him so many and so varied responsibilities. In a war which he tried to avert he was by law the commander in chief of the army and navy and so well did he apply the power committed to him that In 113 days a vanquished people sued for peace. "In finance ho and the Congress asso ciated with hlra have established our money system on the good foundation of gold, so that the pay of the laborer ana tne mechanic has become sure to them In the world's best money, and the savings of the poor and the prosperous alike are to be preserved from depreciation and loss. "Our credit. Is so good that government Donas Deanng z per cent, interest command a premium in the market. Tn diplomacy and statecraft our councils are cesirea and heard by nations who In the pist have held us In but light esteem. "in the serious complication with China our President has fotmd the path where firmness and courage, united with mod eration, give promise of the highest results. But the proposition Is to set them aside and succeed him by another who furnishes no guarantee whatever of his Qualifications for the high office. Mr. Bryan Is admittedly an orator, but it was one of the wisest of statesmen of Athenian Democracy who declared that the orator was the most dangerous man to the Stat -dangerous because by his art and skill he could excite the prejudices of the pop. tilace. stir up their passions. Inspire social and class hatreds and lead men blindly on In mad frenzy to reckless deeds. The Athenian statesman was right. In a government of tho people and by thc people reason should rule the minds of the citizens, while passions should be held in check. "Clothed with the attributes of a grand national life, we are still exposed to dangers. If not from without, yet to dangers from within. We need social unity we reed mutual confidence and good ' will among the classes. We need mutually to learn that mere differences in wealth and social surroundings do not Jurtly furnih on occasion for mutual distrust and mutual hatreds. We need the gospel of good will. W5 need the reconciling thought, reconciling word, the reconciling deed. On this depends cur peace and happiness in the future as a people." CRUSH AT COOPER I'M OX.

TV II O LES ALE ) States on the Social Democratic party ticket, spoke at Cooper Union, to-night, to an audience that filled the theater and crowded the aisles. The rush at the doors in getting In was so violent that women were more or less roughly handled. The audience comprised almost as many women as men. Charles II. Matchett. of Brooklyn, who was the party's candidate for the Presidency four years ago, opened the meeting and was talking when Mr. Debs entered. Then followed a tumult of applause which ;'.it a stop to Mr. Matchett'? speech. Mr. Debs was accompanied by his wife and two other ladies. Morris Hliqultt, the chairman, introduced Benjamin Hanford, the candidate for Governor, who declared that If the working classes could get control of the governments of the world they could not do much worse than is being done now. He then began denouncing the "Capitalist class." and declaring that the great explosion In New York, yesterday, was due to lax enforcement of the laws In the Interests of capital. Mr. Debs on being introduced, said: "So completely have the people lost faith in the Republican and Democratic parties that they have not trusted either with two successive terms In twenty years. What we need is not rarty but policy. The Democrats say that if you give them the chance they will destroy the trusts. Bryan nays he is opposed to private monopoly. Then he is opposed to private ownership. If he Is then he Is a Socialist." Here the speaker referred to the recent coal strike In the anthracite region In Pennsylvania where the mine owners, he charged, fix the rate of wages. Continuing, he said: "Let me ask both parties what they will do to resr-.e the wage-earners from serfdom. No matter whether the Democrats or Republicans win there will be no change In the condition of the laborer. In a few years longer the middle class, what's left of It. will be in the working class. The era of t-mall production has gone. If you have a few thousand left the best you can do is to invest It in socialistic propaganda." In the concluding part of his speech Mr. Debs said: "I would scorn to hold public office. We only want the votes of those who are intelligent enough to know what they are voting for. Free yourselves before you free the Filipinos. You are the property of your masters. Capital owns the tools and the tools own you. If the flag is the symbol of slavery I defy it, and If this be treason let them make the most of it." REVOLUTION IN SPAIN CARLISTS GROWING ACTIVE AND TROOPS KEPT BUSY. Priests Concerned in the Conspiracy Against the Government Duke of Solferlno Missing. MADRID, Oct SO. Several bands of Carlists have appeared In the neighborhood of Barcelona. Three priests have been arrested In Barcelona In connection with the Carllsts' activity. Their; quarters were searched and important documents were found. The Carlist movement was timed to commence a fortnight hence, but it broke out prematurely. A band of thirty Carllsts are reported to be near Berga (a town fifty-one miles northwest of Barcelona.) Gendarmes searched a country house of a brother-in-law of the Duke of Solferino and seized several rifles. The troops have received orders to hold themselves In readiness to set out for Catalonia at a moment's notice. The forces who are following the Carllsts In the Badalona district have already arrested sixteen. Passengers who arrived at Barcelona; to-day, said they saw a few bands in the districts crossed by iheir trains. The Duke of Solferino has disappeared. More than one hundred workmen have left Berga for a destination not disclosed. , The battleship Pelayo, which had received orders to disarm, has been sent to Barcelona. The troops at Saragossa, Burgos and Valladolid are ready to leave for Catalona. Paris Exposition Prolonged. PARIS, Oct. SO. At a Cabinet council today M.

The director of the census, in announcing the population of the United States, made the following statement: "The figures are a result of a careful computation by means of the latest tabulating machines. Bulletins will be issued for the various minor "civil divisions in the different States and territories as fast as possible. The entire number will be ready for the public use before the 1st of January. The early completion of the tabulation of the population of the States enables the census office to submit the figures to Congress as soon as It convenes In December, thus giving that body the Information necessary to dispose of the question of the reapportionment of representatives. All the Held work of the twelfth census, ho far as it relates to the collection of the data relating to population, agriculture, vital statistics and manufactures, is now complete. It is the aim of the officials in charge of the work to push the tabulation of the returns so as to give the complete reports to the public in accordance with the law. which requires that they shall be issued by July 1, 1902. Up to this date the number of schedules relating to agriculture is about 5,800.000. The chief statistician in charge of the details relating to manufactures reports at this time that his work Is pratcically finished and that he has collected something over 621,000 schedules as against 355,000 In the former decade, thus showing a large increase in this part of the work. By means of the plan adopted in this census the office has been enabled to complete the field work concerning manufactures more than a year earlier than was done ten years ago. It required eighteen months in the last census to collect the manufacturing schedules but as a result of the efforts of those in charge practically all the data is now in. The enumerators' accounts, numbering something over 53.000, have all been published with the exception of fifty-five whose accounts are held up for various technicalities. In the last census It took eight or ten months to pay all the enumerators. All the supervisors have been paid with the exception of a few which have been delayed for various reasons. The cost of the administration of the bureau up to this date, including the expense incident to the preliminary work, as well as the cost of the enumeration and supervision is 3ri.361.961, of which over $4.000.000 has been expended for supervision and enumeration. Hanls of Representation In Congress. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. WASHINGTON, Oct. 30. Excluding Territories and the District of Columbia, the population of tie United States is 74.627.907. The present ratio of representation In Congress is 173.901. The ratio that will be adopted will be somewhat greater, about 290.000. which would give the House a small Increase in membership. The House nov numbers 357 and there are objections to any considerable Increase. On the other hand no State finds it3 representation reduced, if it can be avoided. If the ratio is fixed at 2v0.i or thereabouts, Indiana would continue to have thlrteivj representatives, the number It reached, y the census of 1870. and which it retaiwd under the censuses of 1S80 and 1S9U. Are the Figures Correct f To the Editor of the Indianapolis Journal: The evening papers publish to-day what purports to be an official report of the last census. This gives the population of 1890 at G3.0ty.7GS. The figures officially published and generally accepted for the last ten years were 62.622.2.V. If the increase as reported to-day (13,225.454) is correct, and the figures generally accepted for U90 are cor
rect, the sura total published to-day as the census for 1900 is incorrect. REX. Indianapolis, Ind.. Oct. 30. TWO CASUALTY LISTS.

Ferrell to JBe Electrocuted Unless He Secures a Xew .1 rialPrisoner Showed Slight Emotion. MARYSVILLE. O., Oct. 20.-The Jury at midnight returned a verdict of murder in the first degree without recommendation, against Rosslyn II. Ferrell for the murder on the night of Aug. 10 last, of Charles Lane, an express messenger on a Panhandle castbound train. The murder was committed for the purpose of robbery. Ferrell secured $1.000 In money from the way safe of the Adams Express Company. The verdict carries with it the death penalty which in Ohio is electrocution. A desperate effort was made to save the prisoner's life. The crime was not denied but the plea was made that he was mentally Irresponsible and an attempt was made to show that Insanity was hereditary in the Ferrell family. The deliberations of the Jury occupied six hours and thirty minutes, and the verdict was reached at 11:40 to-night. Both Judge Melhorn and the prisoner had retired for the night, and nearly an hour was consumed before court could bo convened and the verdict received. The finding was delivered in the usual form. When the indictment was read Ferrell appeared to be taken by surprise and his face flushed. This was the first visible sign of emotion that has been shown by the prisoner during the trial, but he quickly regained his composure and was led back to his cell without having uttered a word. Judge Melhorn discharged the jury and J. L. Cameron, counsel for the defense, at once gave notice of a motion for a new trial. One of the grounds of the motion will be the sickness of Juror George Westlake, who broke out with measles shortly after the Jury had retired to deliberate. Mr. Cameron asserts the belief that in his condition Mr YV'estlake would have agreed to any verdict fn order to be released from duty. There were not over twenty spectators In the courtroom when the jury reported. The cost of the trial to the State and Union county will be about $7,500. The case was given to the jury by Judge Melhorn at 4:40. His charge . wa3 quite lengthy, being devoted largely to instructions for guidance of the Jury in determining the mental status of the prisoner at the time the crime was committed. He especially admonished the Jury that no light or flippant doubt or whim, and no sentiment . or previous impression should be allowed to enter into the case. The Jury at once retired for deliberation. Ferrell's demeanor during the whole of the last day's proceedings was one of apparent indifference, and during the early part of the .evening, while the Jury was debating the. quec4.in that meant life or death to him he was playing cards In the Jail. EXPLOSION IN Ä MINE THREE MEX KILLED AXD SIX DADLY BLRXED IX A COAL PIT. Gai Ignited and Wrecked a. Section of the Roof Five of the Injured la Critical Condition. WILKESBARRE. Ta., Oct. 30.-A heavy explosion of gas occurred in No. 3 slope of No. 1 shaft of the Kingston Coal Company, at Edwardsvllle, at 3" o'clock this afternoon. In which three men lost their lives and six others were badly .burned. Five of the six Injured are In a precarious condition and It Is doubtful if they can survive. The names of the dead are: N PETER USOVIGE, aged twenty-three, miner, single. FRANK MACALOUSKI, aged twentytwo, laborer, single. JOHN DOLAN, aged twenty-four, miner, single. Those believed to be fatally injured are: Michael GatorskI, Adam LotoskI, Andrew RatouklskI, John Butho and David Evans. When the men were brought to the surface by the rescuers the skin hung In shreds from their bodies. The work of rescue was dangerous, as "after-damp" had accumulated. The first rescuing party that went down tne mine was driven back and two men in the party had to be carried out. A number of physicians were on hand, and as fast as the Injured were brought to the surface their wounds were dressed and they were sent to the hospital or their homes. The force of the explosion was so great that it blew down a great section of the roof. It was thought at first that there were a number of men back of the fall, but to-nisht the mine officials were of opinion that all of the men had been taken out. The relatives of two men reported, however, that they are still missing. The accident was due to an employe, who diverted the air course unwittingly and allowed the gas to accumulate In the place whero the men were at work. The latter had been warned in time to vacate the place, but they did not think they were in canger, and went on with their work. The explosion soon followed. Two more dead bodies were taken out of the mine at 11 o clock to-night. The victims are Michael Guiawehous and Adam Waynales. Both were married and leave families. All the missing have now been accounted for. j Six Feet of Yellow Ribbon. New York Letter in Minneapolis Journal. Down In West Virginia is a club of loyal Republicans known as the "Six-Footers."

BRYAN SCORED BY LAWLER FORMER DEMOCRATIC CAXDIDATE FOR GOVERNOR IS DITTER. Minnesotnn Who L'rees that Bryan Be Buried Beyond Resurrection Xext Week. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. CHICAGO, Oct. 30. It Is planned to make Nov. 2 Commercial Travelers day. The Republican national committee is considering arrangements to have It declared a holiday In certain cities, and mass meetings will be held on that night in several large cities of the country. In some instances the meetings will be preceded by Republican traveling men's parades. George L. Lavery. vice chairman of the department of commercial travelers, Republican national committee, has been appointed to take charge of the work. Negotiations have already been opened with the proper committees In the foremost large cities of the United States, and It Is expected by the Republican campaign managers that the coming demonstration will be the most extensive and complete ever before attempted In the national campaign. The traveling men's vote is considered one of the prime factors of the election. Chairman James K. Jones, of the Democratic committee, says the efforts of the Republican national committee In the direction of the traveling men is Insignificant. The Republican managers, however, explain by saying that while they are after the doubtful voter In the ranks of traveling men. It Is being done because no loophole is to be left unguarded. The suggestion of the -'Commercial Travelers' day" has met with ready response from several of the larger organizations In the country, and It Is said no pains will be spared to make the day memorable. Speaking of the proposed plans, vice chairman of the Republican national committee, H. C. Payne, said: "Never In the history of the Republican party has the national committee expended such effort to reach the commercial travelers' vote as in the campaign of 1900. While we may not have as many voters to convert as in previous years, there has been an Immense amount of work done, and the results show beyond any doubt that the commercial travelers who are with us are well in the majority. We have been able to secure facts and figures which have been of great help to us in pushing the campaign work in their ranks, and for this reason, if for no other reason, we feel fully compensated for the amount of time, labor and expense which has been necessary In connection with the work. We expect Nov. 3 to be a big day and commercial travelers will contribute largely In the mass meetings which are being arranged in the East, middle West and West. It will be a fitting climax to a vigorously prosecuted campaign and unless all Indications are contradicted the commercial travelers will come to the polls Nov. 6 almost solidly united for McKinley and Roosevelt." LAWLER FOR 3FKIXLEY. V Minnesota Former Democratic Candidate for Governor Scores Dryan. ST. PAUL, Minn., Oct. C0.-Danlel W. Lawler, of this city. Democratic candidate for Governor in 1832, stand vhere he did four years ago. He bolted Bryan and Bryanism then, and he bolts it now. Four years ago, however, he voted for the Gold Democratic ticket. This year his vote and influence will be thrown for The Republican ticket. In a letter to Judga N. B. Well, of Preston, Mr. Lawler says: T am out of politics, but I am a Democrat and not a Bryanite. Four years ajjo we had a Democratic tickst in the field; this year we can faithfully discharge our duty to the Democratic partv and to our country by voting for McKinley and Roosevelt. "Let us bury Bryanism this time ani four years from now the o 1 party will march to victory. The developments of the last four years have not recommended Mr. Bryan or his managers to the confidence of the Democrats who spurned his leadership in 1S06. He still 3tand for a debased financial system, a packed and partisan Supreme Court and the impotence of the national government to preserve law and order. "Out In the country Mr. Bryan poses as a representative of the plain people whom Lincoln loved, and he will hav3 none of plutocracy. In New York he eats his $12 Hoffman House dinner, seated on the divans of the Turkish room. On his right Van Wyck, the magnate of the ice trust, and on his left the 'statesman,' Croker, whose son commenced college the other day equipped with $8,000 worth of oulldogs. "Bryan constitutes himself the champion of the Declaration of Independence, and he charges the opposing candidates .vith harboring treasons and strategem3 against our Institutions. Who are the opposing .:andidates? McKinley, who carried a musket and fought for the flag during ihs four years when it is openly charged Stevenson was a Copperhead and a Knight of the Golden Circle, and Roosevelt, who bared his breast to the bullets of El Caney before Mr. Bryan had commencei to learn the tactics on the bloodless fields of Nebraska. "The recklessness with which Mr. Bryan and his associates attempt to turn the South African war to their own advantage brands them as utterly unfit to be trustees of the national well-being and security."

Music Hall's seating capacity of 5.000 would not hold all wanting to hear Speaker Henderson and Corporal Tanner, and there was a large overflow meeting in the adjoining park. The Prohibition Special. WILLIAMSPORT, Pa., Oct. 30. The Prohibition special train to-day made a long run through central Pennsylvania, the schedule for the day embracing a total of seventeen stops. Rain was encountered during the forenoon, but at each stop a liberal crowd greeted the speakers. THIRTY-TWO MISSING. (CONCLUDED FROM FIRST PAGE. ) The skull had long brown hair, attached and is supposed to be that of a woman. During the day Superintendent Dooner hsd a large force of men tearing down piles of debris and removing It. .The fire all day and toward night was practically at the end of the mas.s of debris at Washington and Warren streets. The fire extends back for some distance and is burning fiercely. There were no new men at work tonight. Superintendent Dooner was uslnj
the same force that he had had all day, but will get a largely increased force tomorrow. The ruins are yet so hot that but few can get at them, and the men have to work at outside walls and debris in the streets. There has been much difficulty in getting contractors' carts in Warren and Greenwich streets. What spice is not used by fire engines is nearly all taken up with piles of debris, and only one cart can back in at a time, thus allowing only one load to be removed. At the Washington street end more carts can be utilized and the work Is progressing much more rapidly. Deputy Commissioner of Sewers Donohue, with two Inspectors from his department, wps at the scene of the fire to-night. It had b.en feared that the sewers would become clogged with debris and cause the water to form stagnant ponds around the ruins. The inspectors examined the sewers and said that they were remarkably clear from debris, and that with the exception of a few "elbows" which were clogged, were all right. One hundred and eighty patrolmen, under Captain Westervelt and Inspector Brooks, were stationed at the ruins at C o'clock, relieving the day force. Both Inspector Brooks and Captain Westervelt were skeptical over the reported large loss of life. They both said that they did not expect that more than four or five bodies would be found in the ruins. Tlaying on the still burning ruins with four engines still continues. PORTIONS OF A BODY. At 10:30 a portion of a human trunk, probably the abdomen, was dug out and a little later a brown canvas coat. There was nothing in the pocket but four toothpicks. Still later the firemen found another portion of a skull and a portion of a human back. Dr. Cromer, of the health dedepartment, who examined the remains, said they were probably all from the same person, as were the foot and portions of a skull found earlier. The remains were all found in the Tarrant building. Just before midnight a workman found a black cheviot coat In the exact spot where the human remains had been found. In the pockets were 4 cents and an application for membership in the West End Republican Club. Shortly afterward in the same place an entirely unrecopniable mass of human flesh was found. A half of a coat' was also found at this place. The laborers stopped work at midnight and a new gang was started. Chief Croker, of the fire department, says that the work of digging out the dead has hardly begun. He believes that the greater number of dead will be found on the streets where the falling walls buried them and the fire charred their bodies. He believed, too, that the buildings contain more bodies than most persons will admit. It was those In Warren and Greenwich streets who were killed by the falling walls, according to Chief Croker's theory. When the crash came and the walls fell In a heap they had no time to get to safety. "When we get to that point in digging for the dead," said Chief Croker. pointing to the - smoking ruins under the tottering walls of the Atlantic Cafe, "we will find many an unknown crushed and burned to death." To get to this point to-day was impossible. Not only were the ruins smoking to suffocation and hot, but the towering walls of Eppens. Smith & Weimann, seven stories high, threatening to collapse at each breath of wind. Only two of those walls are left standing. The front and rear walls were blown down by the explosion. Every time an elevated train passed these walls trembled. Great cracks appeared in them that grew in width as the day advanced. It will be no easy matter to remove these walls. Dynamite must be employed, and the man who places the dynamite under them must take his life in his hands. Dynamite must also be used in throwing down the walls of the HomeMade Hotel, in Greenwich street, next to the Tarrant building. With longpoles and ropes workmen tried to overthrow these walls to-day. They would push and pull, but the walls would rock, quiver and tremble, only to wave back In plumb. IN THE HOTEL RUINS. There are bodies in the smoking ruins of the hotel. Charles Francis Buckley, son of the proprietor, told a story to-day that convinces the police that the walls fell on more than one victim. When the explosion occurred twelve men and women, known as the "night shift," were asleep on the top floor of - the hotel. There were also many men and women who live out of the city who were registered at the hotel. No one In New York knows whether these patrons escaped or not, because few, If any, of them have relatives or friends here. Of the employes who were asleep, the women were mostly Irish and German girls who have recently come to this country. They have no frlneds, no home outside of the hotel, and there is no one to Inquire for them if they are missing. "Unless they escaped from the hotel before the second explosion occurred they are all dead," said Police Captain Hogan to-day. Far Into the night, while the work of digging continued, hundreds of men and women and children, with anxious faces, with, cheeks tear-stained, pushed against the police lines and begged admittance. The bureau of information established at the Leonard-street station was nothing to these anxious folk. The promise made them by the sergeant to let them know when there was news, either good or bad, did not satisfy their grief. All through the day and into the wet night these anxious men, women and children stood, growing more anxious as time passed. They seemed to forget everything save the smoking pl'es of bricks and mortar, which they could scarcely see, so far away was the police lines from the falling buildings. Just opposite the Irving National Bank building:, at Warren and Greenwich streets, stood the dead wagon from the morgue ready for the charred bodies. In a barber shop were six coffins, a gruesome reminder of the work being prosecuted. It was the conviction to-day of not only Fire Chief Crcker and Chief Murphy, but also of Thomas T. Main. presWent, and W. C. Allen, treasurer of Tarrant & Co., that the tremendous explosion was caused by gases generated from chemicals by the heat of the fire. There was one impoitant point of difference, however. The officers of Tarrant & Co. declared they did not 'lave stock in sufficient quantities or chemicals of any explosive character to cause the great damage. Their contention Is that the fire caused all of these varied stock of drugs to vaporize and that the resultant gas did the stupendous work of destruction. The fire department officials do not believe that the ordinary stock of drugs and chemicals of a wholesale druggist could under any condition develop an explosive force capable of hurling a steel and stone seven-story building Into the air and crumbling up five other big buildings. MR. MAIN'S STATEMENT. Tarrant & Co. and M. J. Brlctenbach & Co. have opened new quarters at No. 55 Murray street. President Main, of Tarrant & Co., said to-day: "In "our stock we had no ether, or, at most, net more than a few pounds; we had no benzoine or collodion. When we needed any of these articles to fill orders we bought It from dealers. We had very little alcohol In stock, notwith-' standing the fact that we use a considerable quantity In making our perfumes. We had absolutely no nitroglycerin or gunpowder. All of our employes but two have been accounted for. We employed twenty men and fifteen women. William Moorehouse, a shipping clerk, and a boy who was employed on an upper floor are mi.sing. Two of our men say they saw Moorehouse in the street after the last explosion. Some one said the boy had been to the cashier to get car fare to go on an errand a short time before the fire. His family, however, t-ays he did not go home lat night. We fear he was lost In the building." Mr. Main stiid in the course of an interview to-day that Tarrant & Co. stored on the third and fourth floors large amounts of stuff for other drug concerns. "Among this." said Mr. Main, "was much chlorate of potash, and this may have caused the explosions. I am Inclined to think it did. While chlorate of potash Is not explosive In itself, it is explosive when connected by fire or other means with other drugs or acids, and it is on this very theory that the experts are now working to determine Just how the explosions may have been caused."

"There is but one wolf in the annals of France more famous than that of Gevaudan," says Mr. Thompson, "and this was Courtaut, who terrorized the valley of the upper Slene In the early part of te fifteenth century. Courtaut lived chleXy in the wooded environs of Paris; and, ass.vtcd at times by a band of his own kind, he lived and throve by tribute levied on tha Hocks and herds that were being driven to the city markets. "During one of these raids the herdsmen resisted the onslaught of the great wolf. Whereupon he left the frightened, flying cattle and fell upon their follhardy drivers. Then, as he tore their bodies In a rplrlt of savage destruction, he made the discoery that man meat was very Rood rmlly better than beef. This was the circumstance that first determined his bent. Thenceforth Courtaut was a man eater. "The history of the times Is full of his exploits. His cunninp. his strength, his cour. rge and his ferocity were all set forth and made the subject of dally gossip and strange talcs, as much as the dolnpi of Jesso James or Antonio Maceo In our own day. He teemed to bear a charmed life, and was afraid of nothing short of an army Exapeerated tales were told of hi wholesale slaughter of men, women and children, as though the simple truth wro not bad enough. At least fourteen persons were devoured in what Is now the heart n; Paris, and this, we are told, was not in the depths of winter, but In the last 'week cf September, among the vineyards and marshes:' and wherever he went in ths surrounding region his procros wis marked with human blood. He wai believed to be a loup-garou of the mot fiendish type, and tdrong men. who hal no fear of death In battle, preferred to remain indoors when the terrible Courtaut was about. "But the crowning exploit of his life was the siege of Paris. The city was practically shut up. Tor a time in the wint ;r of 14iS-33 because Courtaut and his band held possession of all the approaches, in the early part of the winter that is, probably the beginning of the icge we are told that some of the wolf band actuuliy succeeded in entering the city by way or the river gate; that they killed a number of dogs and devoured a child In tbc l'iac-j aux chats. "On Dec. 16 they appearrd suddenly In an unexpected quarter outlde the walla and killed four women. The Friday fullowln;: they were active all about Paris, tearing some seventeen person-, of whom eleven died from the wounds. "Rut in all of these accounts of wolf ravages we are told (Journal d'un Ilourgco!s de Paris, Hr-4: that Courtaut vai credited with more destruction than nil the rest of the wolves put tosethr.
