The plan involved the recognition of the populist house by the governor and senate, which is ruled by & populist majority.

The reason for this step is that the board of alder- men has shown itself to be a corrupt body, and during the year has created great scandals, which culminated in the street rattway deal and also the giving out of the clectric lighting of tho city to the Royal Electric Light Company for the hext years without calling for tenders.

Long before the hour set for the opening of the court the room was filled with a crowd of interested spectators, to mostof whom the prisoners aro well known, = When M.

President Perivier at once proceeded to ex- amine M. Foutane. Inresponse to the ques- tions put to him M.

Rescue of the Crew of the Wrecked Nor- wegian Bark Eleanor. Loxvox, Jan, 11.—The Norwegian bark Eleanor, Capt. Olsen, from Savannah, Decem-! ber 9, for Harburg, was dismasted during a| terrific hurricane on December 19. She fell off in the trough of the sea and her decks were swept clean. She worked heavily and it is sup- | posed some of her butts were started, for she commenged to take water mutch faster than the pumps could clear her. After the bark had floated helplessly for two days the British steamer Sandhill, Capt. Mac- kenzic, from Wilmington, saw her and at- tempted to take off her crew. A tremendously high sea was running and it was impossible to get a boat anywhere near the bark. Finally the Sandhill was compelled to abandon the bark and she stood on her course for Liverpool. ‘On December 22, the bark then being in lati- tude 41, longitude 51, her crew abandoned her, she then being ina sinking condition.
