iiitiii FOLLOWS WEDDING Providential Escape of Spain’s Young King and Queen. 'A despatch from Madrid says: Alfon- So and his bride had come from the altar to-day and were receiving an ova- tion from their myriad of subjects such as even this proud capital had never seen before, when suddenly they .Were brought face to face with the peril of assassination in its deadliest form. Roses flung from every side were falling in a soft cascade upon the royal chariot. The young Queen, in unfeigned delight, was bowing right and left in acknow- ledgment of the deafening, unending cheers of welcome and congratulations, and the King, ignoring the multitude, was feasting his eyes upon the face of his bride, when a bunch of roses, flung from a balcony, fell with a rush us though made of lead in front of the chariot, and just behind the mules draw- ing it. There was a terrific crash, and a little smoke rose in the air. Death and consternation in an instant sup- planted the mirth and rejoicing. A score of men and women lay dead or mutilated. ~ There was a moment of paralysis and horror. All eyes turned instinc- tively towards the bridal couple and saw their pale faces amid the ruins, gazing pitifully at the terrifying scene around them. The first man to regain hi‘ self-possession was the Duke cf Cornachuelos. He rushed forward, open- ed the door of the royal coach, and fairly dragged the King and Queen to the ground. Others of the royal escort instantly surrounded them, and they were LED TO ANOTHER CARRIAGE. The young King speedily mastered his emotion, and gave all his attention to his terrified bride.’ The line of march was quickly taken up to the palace, - which was only a quarter of a mile away Neither the King nor Queen were hurt, although how they escaped seems little short of miraculous. The bride made a brave effort to con- trol her feelings, but the fearful transi- tion from joy to horror was too much for human nerves to endure, and pre- sently she burst into tears. if the truth must be told, the King himself wept in sympathy. Meantime, at the scene of the outrage the first paralysis was succeeded by great confusion. The crowd, when it realized what had hap- pened, became infuriated and surged toward the spot intent upon wreaking vengeance upon the author of the crime. Quickly a corodon of troops was formed and it was with the greatest difliculty that the dead and injured were cared for and removed. ABOUT A SCORE KILLED. The dead are given as. from eight to twelve, and the wounded from twenty to thirty. Some say the bomb was thrown from No. 88 Calle Mayor. Others assert that it came from a top storey window. Still another version is that two bombs were thrown. one of which struck a balcony as it fell from above, while the second one was thrown di- rectly in front of the wheels of the roy- al carriage. It was a powerful engine of destruction, being of polished steel twoâ€"fifths of an inch thick. Its explo- sion instantly killed two mules, four soldiers, a lieutenant," and two women, and beheaded a policeman. The pas- sion for revenge was so great among the spectators that they attempted to lynch three French detectives, assuming that they were foreign Anarchists. ALMOST LYNCIIED KHIM. As soon as the bomb was thrown, the thrower was seized and was taken down stairs. As he entered the street the people flung themselves upon him, shrieking: “Kill the assassin!" They would have torn him to pieces, if the mounted guardia civile had not wheeled and charged the mob. Under a strong escort the murderer was led away while the royal procession was panic stricken. 'l‘helKing, however, quickly recovered himself and speaking through a broken window of the royal carriage, enquired what damage had been done. He im- mediately sent an orderly to reassure his mother and Princess Henry of Bat- tenburg. Then His Majesty, raising hisi voice, commanded the procession to move on. Queen Victoria was deathly pale, but she smiled courageously. At that moment all the King‘s thoughts evidently were for her. He patted her arm and spoke to her continuously all the way to the palace. BOMB-TI-IRO\\'ER KILLS HIMSELF. Madrid. June 3.â€"â€"The \vrctch who ruthlessly slaughtered a score of fel- low~bciugs in Caile Mayor on Thurs day in a vain attempt to murder the King and Queen of Spain is dead by his own hand. after adding another cowardly crime to the list before he died. He killed himself in the Village of Torrejon de Ardoz, about. 15 miles from Madrid. on the road to Saragossa. On Saturday afternoon a stranger, \\'I"ll‘- ing- a mechanic‘s blue blouse, illâ€"fitting trousers. and sandals in place of shoes, attracted the attention of the villagers ty his travel-worn and fatigued ap- pearance and by his evident nervous- ness and manners. which did not coni- rort with his workman‘s clothes. He went to the railway station and asked at what time the next train left hr Saragossa. On being told them was no train until the night mail. he entered a poor inn. called the \‘entorra dc Hos Jar-aces, near the station, and ordered a meal. The inn is only used by peas- ants and mulctecrs, and supplies only such accommodation as these demand. SUSPICION AROUSED. Among the guests was a local jam- maker, of the name of Reyes, whose. suspicions were confirmed by the anx- ious questions the traveler put concernâ€" ing trains to a serving maid. Reyes conferred with the landlord, and they communicated with the rural police. 'l‘hereupon the gendarme named Vega went to the inn, accosted the stranger, and asked whether he had papers of ioentification. The reply being in the negative, the gendarme said, “You must come with me." “What for?” the man queried. “You’ll see at the police office," the gendarme responded. KILLED OFFICER AND HIMSELF The stranger rose and walked to the street, closely followed by Vega, the other Occupants of the cabaret follow- ing them to the door. Vega and the other man had only gone a few yards when the prisoner made some remark to the gendarme and pointed across the street. Vega turned to look in the direction indicated, whereupon the prisoner drew a revolver from his blouse and shot the gendarme through the head. Vega fell dead. instantly the murderer started to run, but he was so near the inn that its occupants, who had seen all, immediately fell upon him. Seeing an escape was hopeâ€" less, he turned the revolver upon his own breast, fired and fell across cha‘s body. The authorities at. Madrid were in- formed of the circumst.ancc,'and some hours later oflicials from the Ministry of the Interior went to Torrejon to in- vestigate. POSITIVELY IDENTIFIED. They returned to Madrid this morn- ing, bringing the body on the train. it was taken to the little hospital attached to the Church of Good Success. The proprietor of No. 88 Calle Mayor, where the assassin had rented a room for his nefarious purpose, was summoned. He immediately declared the body was that of the tenant of the room from which the bomb was thrown, and the police identified it as that of Mateo Moral or Morales. ‘ _____'+. SIX MEN DRO\\'NED. Employees of Sydncy Mines Meet a “'atery Grave. A Halifax despatch says: One of the worst tragedies in the history of Sydney Mines occurred there early on Sunday morning, when six miners lost their lives by drowning off Cranberry Head. The names of the men are Daniel Mc- Mullin, of Reserve Mines; Harry and Alexander Wilsonholme (brothers), John Fifefoot, Roderick McNeil, and Michael McPhee, the last five belonging to Syd- ney Mines. Details of the accident are meagre, but from what can be gathered from those who were with the men on Saturday night it appears that after leaving a saloon about 10.30 o’clock Sunday morning, the two Wilson- holmes, McNeil and McMullin decided .to overhaul lobster traps off Cranberry, i and persuaded the other two to accom- pany them. The boat in which they put off was a more shell, 13 feet long. On reaching the trap, about a hundred yards from the shore, it is supposed that all the men leaned over the same side of the boat to pull the trap in, with the result that the craft upset, throwing the six occupants into the water. Harry \Vilsonholme‘s body was found lying on the shore, and, fifty yards away, in a little cove, the body of McPhee was dis- covered, lying face downwards in the water. Ten yards from the latter was the upturned boat. â€"+._â€"â€"â€" BOY MANGLED BY BULLDOG. Animal Thought lIc \Vas Defending His Master‘s Children. A St. John, N. B., despalch says: Seveiryear-old Roy Campbell, of Carle- ton. was ncarly torn to pieces on Wed- nesday by a bulldog acting in imagined defence of his owner‘s children. The lad was playing with the five and three- year-old children of David Robb, when i‘obb’s dog leaped upon him, dragged him downstairs to the woodsth and was mangling him there, when a man. attracted by the screams, appeared. With difficulty he beat the (log off, and was carrying the horribly-mutilated child upstairs, when the infuriated ani- mal again seized him and tore him from the resaucr‘s arms. \Vhen finally rescued the boy had one check bitten off and the muscles of his arms and logs torn to shreds. The dog fled, leaped 20 feet down from a wharf, and hid in a coal barge, where he was later found and killed. _F__.. Iil‘RLED AGAINST BEAMS.

A despatch from Madrid says: The mariage of King Alfonso to Princess Ena Victoria was celebrated on Thursâ€" day. The city awoke on Thursday under a cloudless sky with dazzling sunshine adding its glories to the bewildering maze of colors in which the streets were enveloped. From an early hour the centres presented an aspect of extreme animation. The entire night had been pased amid the din of fireworks, sing- ing and dancing, and thousands of provincials, unable to secure shelter, spent streets. At 8 o‘clock crowds densely packed the main thoroughfares and the troops took up their positions, stopping all traffic, and the whole city took on an air of feverish expectancy. The espla- nade fronting the royal palace was oc- cupied by regiments of the Royal Guards in full gala uniforms, with glittering breast plates and helmets. Detachments of haiberdicrs with quaint cockades, stood with weapons crossed at the Princes‘ Gate leading to the palace court yard. All along the route of the cortege hurried preparations were going on. Troops lined both sides of the streets in solid ranks for miles. BRILLIANT DECORATIONS. The scene from the Puerto Del Sol to the I’ardo Palace was one of striking brilliancy. All the buildings were re-! splendent with the yellow and red colors of Spain woven into snnbursts, huge rosettes and graceful streamers looped from roof to roof, and arches of roses from which were suspended enormous flower baskets and trailing vines. Under this dazzling canopy of flags and ‘of flowers surged dense masses of human- ity in festival attire, the women wearing: white mantillas and bunches of bright! flowers in their hair and with bright! colored fans whipping the air. The population of Madrid had turned out in a body and was augmented to twice its usual size by visitors from the country and neighboring towns. BRIDE‘S ARRIVAL. Princess Victoria came from the Pardo Palace to Madrid early in the morning, accompanied by her mother, Princess Henry of Battenberg, and her ladies of honor, and escorted by a regiment of the Royal Guards. The bride‘s party was installed in the Min-' istry of Marine, which had been sump- tuously prepared for her. There the Princess put on her wedding dress and Queen Christina greeted the bride, after which the ladies breakfasted together in the Blue Salon of the Ministry. \VEDDING PROCESSION. The wedding cortege started from the Royal Palace at 9.30 am. amid the ring- ing of church bells, the firing of artilâ€"i EATEN BY SLEDGE DOGS. Terrible Tragedy Reported From in- dian Harbor, Labrador. A Halifax, N. S., despaich says: Wm. McKay, formerly of Halifax, now as- sistant manager of a lumber company in Labrador, is home on a visit. Mr. McKay says that on his way here. while at Indian Harbor, Straits of Belle Isle, he heard of a tragedy which had occurer there just previous to his arâ€" rival, when a man named Robert Crum- l‘y had been killed and eaten by the dogs he was driving. Crumby lived in a region several miles from firewood supplies, and he was on his way for a load, with a sledge drawn by nine dogs. \\‘hen out of sight of the village he had left, and 20 minutes in advance of another dog team that was follow- ing. his dogs turned on him amt tore Illill to pieces. When thc other team came up Crumby was dead and the pack were devouring him. So intent and fierce were the canines, Mr. McKay says, that two of them, before they would Cease tearing at the human flesh. had their heads stricken off with axes. Subsequently the dogs were all shot. The pack of dogs was known to be bad. lcry salutes and the clamorous enthuâ€" siasm of the crowds massed along the route. Ahead rode trumpeters in crimson velvet suits of the time of Philip II- sounding the approach of the royal party. Following them came the pet‘- sonnel of the royal housohold; the herâ€" alds mounted on stallions from the royal. stud and caparisoned in Oriental style. The magnificent coaches of the Spanish grandecs followed. But the brilliancy of this part of the cortege was far surâ€" passed when the famous rovnl gala. coaches came into view, each drawn by eight superb white horses with golden and silver harness and lofty colored the night in cafes and in thejplumage, looking like the coaches depict- ed on some illustrated page of a fairy book. Following the Spanish grandees and princes were the visiting princes, inâ€" cluding the Prince and Princess of Wales. ROYAL BRIDEGROOM. As the King‘s coach appeared it was greeted by a great roar, while the mul- titude wildly waved handkerchiefs, fans and parasols. Ilis Majesty could plainly be seen smiling and bowing to the popu- lar greetings. He wore the uniform of a. field marshal, his hat surmounted by a. sweeping white plume. Around his coach was a cavalcade of royal guards, heralds, equerrics and pages, holding back the enthusiastic populace. Imme- diately following the royal coach came the bride‘s party, forming another glittering array of gala coaches, hear- ing the lords and ladies in waiting and ' the princes and princesses of the House Battenberg, and finally came the- famed mahogany coach with the radiant bride, Princess Victoria, attended by, her mother and Queen Marie Christina,t FLOWERS SHOWERED ON BRIDE. The appearance of the Princess who was about to become their Queen aroused the people to the highest pitch of emotion. Men and women cheered and shouted friendly salutations, while others from the balconies of the houses along the route showered flowers on the Princess and let loose hundreds of pigeons carrying long bright streamers. The bride looked most charming and _ graciously acknowledged the continued ovations. CEREMONY AT CHURCH. On reaching the Chamber of Deputies the cortege came in sight of the Church of St. .lcronimoel Real, which was mag- nificently adorned for the ceremony- Over the entranCe was suspended an immense canopy of red and yellow vei- vet, embroidered with Spanish cscut- cheons and supported on gold-tipped lances. Awaiting the bridal party stood lines of haiberdiers and palace guards. At 11 am. the bridai party entered the church and the ceremony began. King Alfonso and his bride left the church at 12.30 p.m. The announcement of the wedding. by the firing of artillery salutes, was wildly acclaimed by the people. RRACEBRIDGE SIIAKEN. Fire Explodcs Four Boxes of Dynamite Stored in Building. Bracebridge despatch says: A terri- fic explosion occurred within one hunâ€" dred yards of the business portion of the town on Saturday evening about 7.30 o‘clock. A shack. in which was stored, as near as can be ascertained, eleven cases of dynamite, took fire and blew up. Rocks and timber flew in all direc- tions, and the narrow escape of many .people from death is miraculous in the extreme. As it was, no one was hurt, although a number only a few yards away were thrown to the ground. The loss in property, glass, etc, will reach‘ nearly four thousand dollars; almost evDry business house in town suffered' through broken window panes. The, British Lion and Dominion Hotels had. the glass in nearly every window dc- molishcd. Dr. \Villiams‘ residence in- thc rear of which the explosion took place, was badly damaged. The bird woolen mills and the Gazette ()ch are; 7 also heavy losers. The shock was feltl for miles, and dishes in houses half ai mile away were thrown from the shelves. The dynamite was being used “"d It “"15 “0L (“Monl‘ny for one mm] , for blasting in connection with the buildâ€" to go with them alone. this occasion, however. roor fellow perished. He was about .‘Eo years old. and unmarried. Mr. McKay says that this kind of thing is not infrequent. Some time before John Lainc. his wife and grand- daughter startcd for Nain, a Moravian settlement, north of Gillisport. They were never board of again, and the sup- position is that their dogs killed and devoured them. _______._;____.. TR \IN ROBBERS CONVICTED. Crumby cn and Dunn Get houn. 25 Years.
