The triiil i( Michael F.vuaud for the niunli'r of Notary (iotitl'e, who was enticed to tho house of Gabrielle liomfard, Kyraud's mis-tress, and thon choked ti) death, begun today. The authorities hid intended to try Kyraud last month, but their calculations were destroyed by the, en-terprise, of Le Matin which interviewed most of the men whose names appeared on the jurors' list aud evoked from he mopinious as to the guilt or inno-cence of the accused. The indiscreet jurors who permitted themselves to be interviewed, declared that from what they had read of the caso in the news-paper that they were prepared to lind Kyraud guilty, and that they believed. Uubrlolle Artad ( nilor II la Inltueni a. On this account and owing to the fac that the murder was mysterious as well as brutal, the case has attracted wide attention in :urope and in the United Slates. When Gouffe disap-peared there also disappeared with him which he had received from a clieut. His father-in-la- was suspected of foul play. A Nskad Body of a Man was found In a ditch near Lyons, but in such a state of decomposition that it was hopeless to identify the face. A broken trunk was soon after discovered under a hedge in the common of Mil-ler- The pieces were put together and identified as the trunk taken from a hotel at Lyons by a man of respecta-ble appearance, and a young lady, in a cart which he drove, lie anc' she bad arrived the night before this happened from Paris. The acquaintances of Gouffe last seen with him were Kyraud and Gabriella Hompard. Moth of Whom Had Disappeared. The box was taken to London and there a shopkeeper in Kn ton road claimed to have sold it to a Frenchman aud a young lady. Their description corresponded with the appearance of Kyraud and Gabrielle. The police had searched in vain for many months for Kyraud and his mistress, when unex-pectedly she appeared in the office of the prefect of police and disclosed her identity. She is about 22 years old, the daughter of a notable trader at Lille. Sho is a small and slender brunette, accomplished, lively and clever. She at first told several contradictory stories but finally liuve a Verilnn of the Murder which the police accepted as true. She stated that after the murder. Kyraud stripped the corpse and placed tho naked body in a long box which ho had bought in London. She accompanied him to Lyons, where ho also took the trunk, which they had carried to the hotel and kept in'the room with them all night. The next day Eyraurt en-gaged a cabriolet and took away in it Gabrielle and the trunk. Ho wont to a causeway between two deep ditches filled with sluggish water from the verge of which He Let Down tha Cnrpae into tho ditch where it disappeared. A little distance farther away he broke up the trunk and threw the pieces into an-other ditch. Kyraud and Gabriello subsequently went to San Francisco, via Paris, London and New York. At first she stated that there was a d man, whose name she refused to di-vulge, a party to the murder, but she finally admitted that this part of her story' was uot true. On her informa-tion Kyraud was arrested in Havana, Cuba, and brought back to France. According to Gabrielle ho has hands of extraordinary size and strength. He had but little trouble in despatching the old notary. Gabrielle's sanity, af-ter the relation of the extraordinary story, was doubted, but medical ex-perts who have examined her declare her to be perfectly sound of mind. l.lnlillltlei si 81) ooo, Clakksville, Tenn., Dec. 15.

TIIKV IIIYEM ALL IN Captain Greenman and a Posse Gobble up the Sunday Dig Fighters in Job-Lot- THE POLICE INQUISITION Billy Diamond, tho Slayer of Ed Scott, Keeps His Own Counsel-Po- lice Pickings. An atmosphere of aristocratic male-factio-hovered over the calendar in Judge Lanev's court chamber at 10 o'clock this morning, when forty-tw- o mortals with a preilelietiou for bloody pastime made their appearance and answered to tho charge of attending a dog tight instead ot attending divine worship on the Sabbath day. The gathering was one of decidedly striking feature ami literally gorged the hopper of the judic-al mill. U was the result of a raid that was made by Commissioner Greenmau representing the Humane society, Mar-shal Voting and Olliccrs Kiley, F. Glen, Jeuney, Khodes and Parker. That a dog light was to take place on Sunday was a secret that leaked out the day be-fore. Captain Greenmau and the Mar-shal at oneo held a consulta-tion and tho police were put on tho track of the prin-cipals, They were traced to the race track dogs and owners, and thither the officers proceeded. The attendance was large. This may .account for an empty pew here aud there. Presently the light began. The (logs started for each other, whereupon the posse closed in, and fifty-si- men ami boys were placed under arrest. Conveyances were se-cured, and, with the oxcep.ion of the juvenile clement, who had been driven to tears, the excursionists were wheeled into the city where they deposited sufficient mo'ney to cover tho offense. This morning forty of them were each lined - ami costs or f.'.8.-- ., the c ourt impos-ing a line of ti't each on the owners of the animals. The court derived just $504 from the little affair. The Investigation. All eyes are now directed towards the police committee who are enquiring into murmurs and muttering that have been issuing from the de-partment for the past several weeks. It is impossible to got nearer the pro-ceedings than a key hole, and then Chairman Wcstenhoim has very wise-ly asked that the work be left with the committee and not with the public to whom the results will be unfolded in due time. . The air is heavy, dense with remorse and the mask will be torn " from - the actual cause of the spirit of disaffection that has haunted the ranks in a few days. The committee mean business and some-thing must drop before many hours. . Diamond 111 Ilurnnce. The slayer of Ed Scott continues to occupy apartments at the city jail. He occupies a cell off from the main ro-tunda and is keeping his own counsel. "Had I known I was talking to a re-porter," remarked Diamond, "I would have kept my mouth shut." "Were you misquoted any way?" asked TllK Timks representative. "Xaw, not that only I would have preferred telling the story to his wife tirst." The exact time for the preliminary examination has not yet been an-nounced. This, however, will probably be waived and tho prisoner held to the action of the grand jury. It is under-stood that the matter will be ventilated in tho Carpenters' union anil its merits passed upon by that body of which both the living ami tho dead were members. Police Tickings. Mr. K. Neff, the well-know- turf-man and trainer who was arrested at the track yesterday, was discharged, as it was shown that he in no way encour-aged the unpleasantness between the canines. Frank Purcell and Ed Driscoll, the owners of tho dogs that were to have chawed each other yesterday, were each lined $ -. Six drunks were taken in by the police on Sunday, and six the preceding night, making a'total of twelve that got in line at 10 o'clock this morning to draw on justice. THE SPIRIT WAS OFF.

"Hock asphalt must be put down at a temperature of Slit) degree I ahrenheit to compress properly, When we laid tho asphalt on Commercial street, there was frost in tho cement and Hag foundation. Tho liquid asphalt coming in loi.tact with this generated steam which, coming up through the material prevented it ad-hering together."

Washington, Pec. l.V Special to The Timks. ) The marriage today of Miss Klena Torler. youngest daughter of Admiral Porter, to Captain Camp-bell, was attended by many of the nota-bles of Washington and was altogether the most brilliant event that has taken place so far this season. Tho ceremony was performed according to the rites of the Episcopal church, of which denom-ination the bride is a member. The bridesmaids were daughters of officers of the navy and the groomsmen and ushers were attaches of the military corps stationed iu and near Washing-ton. Tho bride is a tall, stylish and accom-plished girl who has been a great favor-ite with all her relatives. She has been a leader in what is called the junior so-ciety of the capital for some time. Of late years she represented her mother in the more important social events of Washington. She has been acquainted with her husband since her childhood, and their marriago is the climax of a romantic courtship. Captain Campbell was a soldier during the war, and made n tine record. For many years he found pareutial opposition to his love suit, but the stubborn old admiral was won over at last by the unfailing devo-tion of Captain Campbell to his daughter. A large reception was held after the ceremony. Wmm talks' Regarding the Lata Election and the Causes Which Brought About the Land Slide.
