He might be re-elected. This would bo something i like a vote of confidence and wnuld strengthen him. The whole thing is a very great surprise, and I can hardly realize that it is true." FOR BEING PUT OFF A CAR. Passenger Brings Suit Against the Road for J. E.

Thompson through his attor neys, Jjail and Bird, brongh suit in the court of common plea3 today against the Elevaed railway company for $2,000 damages for personal injuries sustained by being ejected from one of the company's cars at Riverview. Thompson, who has lost an arm, it will bo remembered, recently caused the arrest of W. J. Peterson, the conductor who put him off, on the charge of assault. Peterson was tried before Justice Berts and acquitted.

He gave as a reason for putting Thompson off that the latter persisted in expectorating tobacco juice on the floor of the car in violation of the company's rules, after being asked to desist. The evidence at this trial failed to show that the'eonductor had used any undue violence. In his petition touay Thompson alleges that ho was pushed against the seat and sustained permanent injury to his spine and also suffered great humiliation and mental anguish in the presence of other pas- WAS IMPORTED FROM AFRICA.

James Johnson an iusano old necrro who is supposed to bo nearly 100 years of age, and has been cared for at the county jail for some time is very sick and is not expected to survive very long.

Johnson says he was imported from Africa as a slave with his parents, and was sold to a southern planter. After President Lincoln's proclamation of emancipation Johnson joined an exodus of negroes to Kansas. Prior to the weakening of his mental faculties the old man gave interesting rominesc- ences of his long career which accorded accurately with history and gave color to the story of his importation from Africa. Jailor Fay is exerting every effort to make tho old man's last days as comfortable as possible. WHAT THEY ARE DOING.

15. It was announced this evening that M. Casimir-Perier, president of the French republic, had resigned. During the evening he conferred with the president of the senate and then summoned M. Guerin, minister of justice; M.

Leyques, minister of pub lic instruction; M. Poncarre, minister of finance, and the prefect of the Seine. ill. Leyques had a long conversation with Perier, tho result of which is not known. A second official note was issued at 11 o'clock tonight announcing the re signation of the president, and forcast ing the ideas he intends to develop in his farewell address to the chamber of deputies.

Tho note says that in the eyes of the president, yesterday's sitting of tho chamber and the voto which overthrew the cabinet were only secondary incidents of the struggle which is proceeding against the parliamentary regime and public liberties. M. Casi mer-Pericr had hoped tho president of the republic who is deprived of means of action, would havo been ex empted from party attacks and the es pecial confidence of tho republican would have accorded him power and authority. He has aho hoped those who, despite him, had placed him a position where ho was unablo to defend himself, would have undertaken tho defense of the first magistrate Continuing, the note says the president has requested the ministers to temporarily withdraw their resignations in order to facilitate the necessary changes. Prime Minister Dupuy imparted Pres ident Casimir-Perier's decision to the presidents of the senate and chamber of deputies, who will forthwith call urgency sittings of those bodies.

The greatest perplexity reigns in all political circles. When the facts became known, consternation, amounting almost to stupor, seized every one. There had bean ominous hints in the press in the recent days that M. Casimir-Perier was growing tired of his'posi-tion, but nobody paid attention to them. The high character, experience, firmness and integrity of the president inspired the confidence of even tho ad vanced republicans.

M. Callemet-Lacour employed his utmost eloquence in a vain endeavor to persuade the president to reconsider his decision and quitted the palace of the Elysce in deep distress. All the members of the cabinet, from Prime Minister Dnpuy down, followed Cal- emot-Lacour and exhausted every ar gument to induce Casimir-Perier not to resign. Dupuy again the palaco of the Elysee later in the evening and was closeted with thepresi- 1 A. 1.

I aeui ior iorcy-nve minutes nrging every possible inducement and appeal ing to every patriotic sentiment in order to get him to recall his determination. All was without avail. After him came M. Spuller whose eloquence, it will be over came on a former occasion, M. Casimir Perier's scruples to accepting the posi tion of prime minister.

All the presi dent would concede to these appeals was to delay tho publication of his in tentions until tonight. As Dupuy and Spuller were leaving the palace of the Elysee together they met in the corri dors the president's mother, who js 80 years old. They begged her to entreat her son to remain in office and sho prom lsed she would do her utmost. The interview between mother and sjn was very affecting. Nevertheless, at 9 o'clock Casimir-Perier sent a short let ter to Dupuy, informing him that his decision was irrevocable, and begging him to notify tho presidents of the senate and chamber of deputies, and to announce the fact in the Journal Offi- ciel.

Dupuy accepted the task thus imposed upon him, and as on the occa sion of tho death of Mr. Carnot finds himself again confronted with the transmission of powers involving diffi culties of every description. He seemed to be comepletely overwhelmed with the sense of his responsibilities, but speedily recovered and with the energy coolness and foresight that he display ed on the occasion of tha assassination of M. Cainot proceeded to do what the situation demanded. Washington Jan.

15. Diplomatic circles here were astonished tonight by the news of the resignation of Presi dent Casimir-Perier cf France. Many officials would not believe it Neither the secretary of state, nor the French ambassador had any intimation of such a thing. The French Ambassador Patenotre said he had received no news of the subject. "The resignation must have been on account of the failure of the president to form a'rainistry," he said, "but it is entirely unprecedented that a president should resign for such cause.

In France the president is a sort of constitutonal king. He isnot supposed to have any special policy, his minis ters being expected to govern. If the ministry, finds itself opposed to either of the chambers on any point, no matter how trivial.it will resign, but this does A The Republicans Will Meet to Select Their Senator at 8 o'clock A.

15. Shortly after 12 o'clock Lieutenant GovernorTroutman and members of the senate appeared at the east door of the house and were immediately ushered to seats directly in front of the speaker's stand. Speaker Lobdell invited the president of the senate to take the chair. He complied and constitutional hour has arrived at which the house and senate are to meet in joint assembly for the election of a state printer. Part of tho senators are here.

I do not ob serve the secretary of the senate." Seuator Carpenter moved that Senator Scott be elected secretary pro tern, and he was elected. j.ne rous or tne nouse and the sen ate were then called. Thirteen repub lican senators, Senator O'Bryan, dem ocrat, and Senator True, populist, re sponded to the senate call and all the members of house answered present and the president of the senate said "Notwithstanding the absence of certain senators a constitutional major ity of the legislature is here. Senator O'Bryan moved that as there were rules governing a joint assembly that sergeant-at-arms be appointed and the absent members brought in. The motion was put and carried without a dissenting vote.

After a moment's delay Senator Ba ker of Leavenworth said he had voted for the motion and would move a re consideration. "ne senators over theve," he said, "are a perverse set If wo would send for them they would refuse to come. They might be brought but they would do no good here and this proceeding might provoke needless litigation and trouble, and as we have a constitutional body here already, let us proceed to elect a state printer and not insult this body with the pres ence thosswho do not choose to come." Senator O'Bryan seconded the mo tion an.l it was carried, The roll of both houses was then called and resulted in Major J. K. Hudson receiving 104 republican votes; E.

Snow, 26 populist votes; George W. Wagener, 3 votes from Brown of Pratt and Representatives Forsythe and True blood; W. P. Tomlinson, 2 democratic votes from representatives Schyler and Wilson of Barber; George W. Crane, one populist vote from Senator True.

Senator O'Eryan did not vote. After the vote had been read Presi dent Troutmau announced that as J. K. Hudson had received a majority of the votes cast by the joint assembly he declared him duly elected state printer. On motion of Mr.

Benedict of Wil son the joint assembly was dissolved. Tho populist senators refused to go into joint convention -unless the repub licans would asree that each house should vote separately until some can didate received a majority of each body.

An appeal was called for from the decision of the chair regarding adjournment and was su-tained by a vote of those present Senator Leedy arose and after protest ing agaiust the reovmtionary course of the republican senators, poposed that the populists poceed to the house and protect tho rights of the senate.
