I^ioscs Hunt' flora every side w<!re falling in a soft cascade upon llic royal chariot. Ihc young Queen, in unfeigned delight, was bowing right and Icll in acknow- ledgment of I he deafening, unending cheers of welcome and congratulations, and the King, ignoring the nnillitude, was fcosling his eyes upon the face of his bride, wlien a bunch of roses, flung Irom a balcony, fell with a rush as ttiough niudo of lend in front of the chariot, and just behind the mules draw- ing II. There was a terrific crash, and a Utile smoke rose in the air. Death and consternation In nn instant su|)' planted the mirth and rejoicing. A score ol men and women lay dead or mutilated. There was a moment of paralysis end horror. All eyes turned inslinc- Uvcly towards the bridal couple and saw their pale faces amid the ruins, gazing pitifully at the terrifying scene ai'ound them. The (irst mun to regain hi- self-possession was tlic Uuke cf Cornaclmelos. lie rushed forward, open- ۥ(. the d(K)r of the royal coach, and fairly dragged tlic King and Queen to the ground.

The lino of niaivh was f|iii(lily taken up to the palace, uhich was only a c|uaiter of a niile away Neither tlie King noi' Queen weie hiirt, although how they escaped seems little short of miraculous. 'file bride made u brave effort to con- trol her feelings, but the fearful transi- tion from joy In horror was too inmh for hiiiiuin nerves to chdure, and pre- sently she burst into tears. If I'le ti'uth must be told, tlie King himself wept in sympalhy. Meantime, at the Scene of the outrage tliC llrsl piiralvsis was succci'iled by great confusion. The crowd, when it r'ealized what had hap- pened, became infuriated and surged towiiid the spot intent upon wreaking Vengeance up(jn the author of the erime. Quickly a cnrodon of troops was formi'd nnd it was with ttie greatest dilllcully thai the dead nnd injured were cared for' and removed. AliOUT A SCOnE KILLED. The dead are given as from eight to Iwelve. and the wounded fi'om twenty 111 tliiily. .Some say lire liomb was llu-own fi-iim No. S8 (jille Mayor'.

Th(^ King, however, quickly n^eovered himself and speaking thr-oirgh a broken window of the royal carriage, enquired what damage had been done. He im- mediately sent an orderly tfi reiussure his mother' nnd Princess Henry of Hat- lenburg. Then Mis Majesty, raising his voice, coirrmanded the procession to move on.

He went lo the railway .station and asked Hi what time ll»o next train left N i- Snragossiv. On being told ttiene was no train unlit the night mail, he entered n poor inn, called Ihe Ventorrn di- ;ns Joraccfi, near the station, and ordered u meal. The inn Is only used by peas- ants and muleteers, and supplies only such accommodation ns these demand. .SUSI'ICION AM''!"!sED. Among the guests was a local jam- maker, of the name of fleycs, whise suspicions were conllrmed by the anx- ious questions the traveler put concern- ing trains to a serving muid. Heyes conferred with the landlord, and Ihey communicated with the rural police. Ther-eupon the gendarrrre named Vo^n went hi the inn. accosted the stranger, and asked whether ho had papers of iapntiflcalion. The reply being m ihe negative, the gendarme said, "'Vou must come with me." "What for'/' tlie man queried. "You'll sec at Ihe police omce," the gendarme responded. KILLED OI'TICEH AND HIMSELF The stranger rose and walked lo the street, closely followed by Vega, the other occupants of the catmrat follow- ing them to the door. Vega and tl:e ether man had only gone u few yards when the prisoner made some remark lo Ihe gendarme and pointed across tlu, street. Vega turned to look in the dir'oCtion indicaU-d, wtiereupon the pii.soner di'ew a r'cvolver from bis blouse and shot Ihe gefidarme tlirough the head. Vega fell dead. Instantly the niui'derer starleil to run, but he was so near Ihe inn that its occupants, wh.i had sei'ii all, immediately fell upon him. .Seeing an escape was hope- Itss, he turned the revolver upon his own breast, fired and fell across Vega's body. The authorities at Madrid were in- formed of the circumstance, nnd some hoiri's later oflicials fi'om the Ministry of the Interior went to Torrcjon to in- ve.stigale. fO.SITIVELV IDENTIFIED. They returned to Madrid this rhorn- Ing, bringing the body on Ihe train. ;t was taken to tlie little hospital attached lo Ihe Cliurch of Good .'micccss. The pm[)rielor of No. 88 Callo Mayor, where Ihe a.ssassin had rented a room for his nefarious purpose, was sumnroned. He immediately declared the body was that ol the leriant of th<' room from whi^h the bomb was thrown, and the police ideritiiled it as that of Mateo Moral or Morales. SIX MKN DHOW.NKD. Employees ot Sydney Minos Meet a Watery Grave. A Halifax despatch says: One of the worst tragedies in Ihe history of Sydney Mines occurred lliere early on Sunday iiKir'ning, when six miner's lost llicir lives by drowning off Cianboriy Head. The names of the men are Daniel Mc- Miillin, of lie.serve Mines; Harry and .Mexander Wilsoiiholme (bi'othei's), John Fifefool, Itoderick McNeil, and Michael Md'lice, the lust live belonging to Syd- ney Mines. Details of the aceidenl ai'e meagi-e, but fronr what can be galhei'Cd from those who were with the men on .Saturday night it appears thai alter leaving a saloon about 10.30 o'clock .Sunday mnrnirrg, Ihe two Wilson- holrnes, .McNeil and .McMullin decided lo overhiuil lobster traps off Crnnbcr-ry, and persuaded llic other two to accom- pany tlicm. The boat in which they put off was a mci'c shell, 13 feet long. On r'cactring the trap, about u hundred yai'ds from Ihe shore, it is supposed that alt the men leaned over the .same siilo of Ihe boat to pull the trap in, wilh the i'esirlt that the craft upset, Ihr-owing the six occuimnts into the water. Harry Wil.sonholme'b body was found lying on the slioie, and, llfly yai'ds nway, in a little cove, llie body of Mel'hee was dis- covered, lying face downwar-ds in the water'. Tc'U yards froiri the taller was the upturned boat. BOY MANtiLlil) UY lU'LLDOC. Animal Tli(iii(|hl He Was Defendiito His IMnslrr's Children. A .St. John, N. li., desp.itch says: .Sevi!n-yeai'-old Hoy Campbell, of Carle- Ion, was nearly tiu'n to pieces on Wed- i:<».sday by a Imlldog acting in imagined defence of his owner's children.

A despatch from Madrid says : The itiarioge of King Alfonso to Princess Ena Victoria was celebrated on Thurs- 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 llreworks, sing- ing and dancing, and thousands of provincials, unable lo secure shelter, spent the night in cafes and in the streets. At 8 o'clock crowds den.sely packed the main thoroughfares and the troops took up their positions, stopping all traffic, and Ihe whole city took on an air of feverish expectancy. The espla- nade fronting Ihe royal palace was oc- cupied by regiments of the Royal Guards in lull gala uniforms, with glittering breast plates and helmets. Detachments of halberdiers will, quaint cockades, stood with weapons crossed at the Princes' Gate leading to Ihe 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. BRILLIA.NT DECORATIONS. The scene from the Puerto Del Sol to the I'nrdo Palace was one of striking' brilliancy. All the buildings were re- i splendent with the yellow and red colore of Spain woven into sunbursts, liuge rosettes and graceful streamers looped h'otn roof to roof, and arches of roses from which were suspended enormous (lower ba.skels and trailing vines. Under lliis dazzling canopy of Hags and flowers surged dense masses of bunran- i ily in festival attire, the women wearing white mantillas and bunches of br-ight flowers in their hair and with bright colored fans whipping the air. The ^ -'-'^ulation of .Madrid had turned out m i body and was augmented lo twice its usual size by visitoi-s from the country and neighboring towns. BRIDES ARRIVAL. P.'incess Victoria came from tlic Panio Palace lo Madrid early in the morning, accompanied by her mother. Princess Henry of Battenberg, nnd her ladies of honor, and escorted by a regiment of the Royal Guards. The brute's pnrty was installed in the Min- 1 isti'y of .Marine, which had been sump- i tuously prepared for her'. There the j 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. WEDDING PROCESSION. The wedding cortege started from the Royal Palace at 9.30 a.m. amid the I'ing- ing of church bells, the firing of artil- lery salutes and the clamorous enthu- siasm of the crowds massed along the route. Ahead rode irumpelers in crimson velvet suits of the lime ol Philip II. sounding the approach ol the royal party. Following them came the per- sonnel of the royal household; Ihe her- alds mounted on stallions from the royal stud and caparisoned in Oriental style. The magnificent coaches of the Spanish grandees followed. But the brilliancy of lliis part of the cortege was far sur- passed wlien the famous roval gala, coaches came into view, each drawn by eight superb white horses wilh golden and silver harness and lofty colored plumage, looking like the coaches depict- ed on some illustrated page of a fairy book. Following the Spanish grandees and princes were the visiting princes, in- cluding the Prince and I'rinccss of Wales. ROVAL BRIDEGROOM. As the King's coach appeared it was greeted by a great roar, while the mul- titude wildly waved handkerchiefs, fans and parasols. His Majesty could plainly be seen smiling and bowing to the popu- lar greetings. He wore the unifonri of a field marshal, his hat surmounted by a sweeping while plume. .Around hi» coach was a cavalcade of royal guards, heralds, equerries 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, bear- ing the lords and ladies in wailing nnd the princes and princesses of the House of Battenberg, and finally came the famed mahogany coach with the radiant bride. Princess Victoria, attended by her mother and Queen Marie Chri.stina. â-  FLOWERS SHOWERED ON BRIDE. The appearance of the Princess who was about to become their Queen aroused the people lo Ihe highest pilch 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 hundnMs of pigeons carrying long bright sti-enmers. The bride looked most charming and graciously acknowledged the continued ovations. CERE.MONY AT CHURCH. On reaching Itic Chamber ol Deputies the cortege came in sight of the Church of SI. Jeronuiioel Heal, which was rnag- nincently adorned for the ceremony.' Over Ihe entrance was suspended an immense canopy of red and yellow vel- vet, embi'oidered with Spanish escut- cheons and supported on gold-lipped lances. Awaiting the bridal party stood lines of halberdiers and palace guards. .\l 11 n.ni. llio bridal party entci'ed the chui-ch and Ihe ceremony began. King .Mfonso and his bride left the church at 12.30 p.m. The announcement of the wedding, by the firing of artillery salutes, was wiMI/ acclaimed by the people. i:.\TEN BY SLEDGE DOGS. Terrible Traqedy Heporlcd Ftom In- di;m Harbor, l^abrador. A Halifax, N. .s., despatch says: Wm. McKay, foiiriorly of Halifax, now a.s- sisturit manager of a lumber company in Labrador, is home on a vi.sit. Mr'. McKay says Ihat on his way hei'e, wliilo nt Indian Harlior, Straits of Belle Isle, he hoard of a li-ngedy which tuid occurred there just pi-evious lo his nr'- rival, when a man named Robei'l f :ruirr- 1> had been killed and eaten by Ihe dogs he was driving. Crumby lived in a region several miles frpm tirewood supplies, and he was on his way for a load, wilh a sledge drawn by nine dogs. When out of sight of the villngo he had left, and 20 minutes in advance of another dog team that was follow- ing, his dogs turned on him and lore liiin to pieces. When the other tcnrii carno up Crumby was dead and the pack were devouring him. So intent and fierce were the canines, Mr. McKay says, Ihat two of them, liefore they would ceu.se tearing al the human (lesli, had their heads stricken off wilh axes. SiilisequeJitly the dogs were all shot. The pack of dogs was known lo le had, and it was uot customary for one iiKin lo go with them alone. Crumby en Ihis occasion, however, did so, and ;he (oor fellow per-ished. lie was about ?.5 years idd. and unmarried. Mr. McKay says that this kind of thing is not infrequent. .Some tirm' before John I.aine, his wife and gi-aiid- daugtitcr started for Naiii, a Moi'aviun stllloinenl, north of Gillisport. They were never heard of again, nnd the su))- positioii is that their dogs killed and dcvoui'ed them. CHACERninOE SlIAKE-N. Fire Explodes F'oiir Boxes ol Uy'smite Stored in Building.
