SHOCKING EMTM
Two Desperate Murderers Guil
lotined in Paris.
One Fights For His Life Under
the Knife.
The execution of young Berland and Dore,
two accomplices of the woman Berland in
what is known as the Courbevoie murder,
took place in Paris, France, on a recent
morning. The usual crowds of people had
gathered during the night and early that
morning on the famous Place de la Roquette,
where all Paris executions by the guillotine
take place. The officers managed to main
tain a praiseworthy degree of order, in view
of the mixed, rougb, law-defying concoursa
of people they had to deal with .
Dore, when he was aroused at on early
hour, rubbed his eyes, scowled at his visi
tors, and then, gu3ssing the object of their
coming, he relapsed into a state of stolid in
difference, and seemed, to all outward ap
pearances, to be utterly indifferent as to
what was taking place. He dressed himself
calmly and, under the circumstances, quick
ly, and thanked the prison officials in a firm,
low voice for the kindness whicn they had
fchown him. Dore, however, did not reply
to the words addressed to him by l'Abbe
Faure, the well-known prison chaplain.
Doru left his cell and the prison a few min
utes later with extreme composure, but he
faltered and trembled as he reached
the shadow of tho red-painted up
rights oi? tho guillotine and caught sight
of the deadly shining knife. The execution
ers helped him up the steps to the platform
of the guillotine, and quickly threw him
upon the bascule, strapped him down, slid
his head into the lunette, and in a second or
so the knife fell, and Dore's head rolled into
the sawdust-tilled basket.
Young Berland died in an entirely differ
ent manner. When he was awakened he
showed a considerable amount of bravado,
and remarked, with a hideous smile, "No
more card-playing forme." In conversation
with the prison officials and executioners
while his toilet was being made, Berland
showed that he resented his mother's re
prieve, and that he was much disappointed
that she was not to die with him. When all
the preparations for death were made, Ber
land walked jauntily across the prison yard,
and maintained his air of bravado and cool
impudence until he reached the platform of
the guillotine. Just as the executioners were
upon the point of throwing him upon the
bascule, or sliding plank, to which he was
to be strapped previous to being pushed
beneath the knife, Berland made a
desperate resistance, and a terrible
gcene took place in full view of the thousands
of eager spectators. In spite of his strug
gles, however, the executioners and guards
held Berland upon the scaffold and eventually
threw him upon the fatal plank, slid him be
neath the grim uprights, and, as the young
criminal was writhing furiously, the knife
fell, and Beriand's head rolled into the
basket.
No sooner had this occurred than the
crowd?, with a great rush, broke through the
cordon of troops and police, and, rushing
up to the scaffold, gloated over the blood
stained apparatus, some of the most horrible
taking handfuls of .sawdust away with thorn
as souvenirs of the executions.
BAIL WAY POSTAL SEBVI0E.
A Report Wliicli Shows Vast and. In
creasing Work.
The annual report of the Railway Mail
Service in the Second Division, which in
cludes the States of New York, New Jer
sey, Pennsylvania, Delaware and the
Peninsula of Maryland and Virginia,
shows largo increase in work
and improvement in methods and
efficiency of service. The distribution of
mail to 0534 postoifices in the district is done
by 720 railway clerks. During the year they
handled 905,173,250 pieces of mail, eight par
cent, more than last year. Errors reported
show a decrease of eight per cent. In five
years the working force has been increased
thirteen per cant , and the mail distributed
has increased thirty-six per cent.
The New York City mail separated on
the cars for direct delivery from the
branches of the New York Postoffice (thus
avoiding detention at the general post
office) was 103,354,050; as compared with
89,032,350 for last year, an increase of
over fifteen per cent. At the present time
the amount of New York City mail thus sep
arated daily is not far from 400,000 letters.
The railway postal clerks are now compet
ing for a gold medal offered by General Su
perintendent White of Washington and five
gold medals offered by Division Superintend
ent Jackson of New York City. The deliv
ery this year to summer resorts shows
especially expeditious handling.
DESPERATE BATTLE.
Fatal Fight on the Platform of a
Moving Car.
There was a fight on 'the platform at the
rear end of the second coach of the first sec
tion of a tram one mile from Rockwood,
Perm., on a recent night. James Kelly, a
policeman, of Johnstown, Penn., drew a re
volver to quell the row. The crowd
sprang upon him and forced him
between the cars. Conductor Hard
signaled the engineer to stop the train. The
coupling broke and Kelly dropped under the
wheels and was killed. Lucas Myers of La
trobe was thrown from the platform and
killed. Milton Pyle of Somerset was hurled
through the air and struck on the rocks on
the side of the track. His skull was crushed
and leg broken.

TriTial Causes of War.
Among the curiosities of history is tt.e
oft-recurring fact that many of the great
wars of the past have been indirectly
brought about by triflnp; circumstances.
One of the wars between the Turkish
Empire in the zenith of its splendor and
the Venetian Republic was brought about
by the desire of the Sultan's physician
to marry a rich Spanish heiress. The lady
auJ her mother escaped to Venice, and
the Sultan sent an official after them to
bring them back to Constantinople. The
Venetian Repullic was at fust willing to
comply with the Sultan's request, but
the ladies succeeded in making their es
cape to Ferrara, and from thence to Ly
ons, in France. The Porte complained
that the Venetian Republic had not used
due diligence, and ultiir.ately a terrible
war broke out over this trivial circum
stance. A. contemporary historian says:
"The ajjent of the Venetian Government
at Constantinople informed the council
that the reason of the dispatch of the
Turkish Envoy to Venice was. to require
on the part of tt Grand Siiueur, that a
Spanish lady, named Mendez, with her
daughters, should be delivered up to the
Envoy, and by him brought to Constan
tinople. The common rumor was, that
the Lady Mendez had promised to marry
one of her daughters to the son of a man
named Rodriguez, doctor to the Grand
Signeur. The lady, however, changed
her mind, and fled with her daughters to
Ferrara, where they remained under the
protection of the Duke for some time. It
is now said that they have gone from
Ferrara to Lyons in order to realize funds
invested there by the late husband of the
Lady Mendz. The emissary of the
Grand Sigaeur was by no means content
with the loss of his prey, and there was
trouble in consequence." This informa
tion is contained in a letter written from
Venice in July, 1549, by M. Morvillier
to Henry II. of France, the object being
to induce the King to use his authority
for the purpose of sending the Lady
Mendez and her daughter to Constanti
nople. The King sent to Lyons for this
purpose, but found that the ladies had
again taken flight, and were supposed to
be at Antwerp. American, Register.
