Paritt, J»a. 25..The election which occura on

Bunday fr suppoaed to be a trial of stxength ho-

.t-m-i. the Republie and General BonTanner. We

hwrd much in London of the electoral cxoit»mentin P-»i«. »->d I jodge that you have heard muchalso. There is excitement There is anxietf.Somethlug depends on the result of Suriday's vet*.Some «-vJieiioes of pubbo interest are visibleenough. Yet a New-York pohtician who judgeiby appearances only would be llkely to think he

could give the Parisian3 point*. The publlodemonst.atrlons are not iropre.iive. There ar" na

m_t-~vmeetl-_gB, no torchlight prooessions, no flaga,8to brass banda, and the stroets aro no fullex thanlast week. The exuberance of the Freneh minddisplays itseif in placards and in placards only.Never before in political history were so many

"qjlk posted, nor of so many colors, Paris is cov-

ared wlth more than all tho hue* af the rainbow.Nottii_f ia aaered t« the brush of the bill-poster-not, public huildingn, not atatue*', na* ohurche\ n.t

even *t_f-_es. The Grand Opera itseif, which is

perbapa to Parisiaus of to-day tha oentral building«t the world, is brilliant with red, yellow andVroe. Neither caodidat* haa a color to hi.solf.General Bo-ilanger has ao rsd bandanna, nor can

W. Jacques rdgnify his devotion to the Rapublio byflying the "National flag. Both appaal to theelectors of the Seine in coata of all colors.

lf you turn to the presa, tbe differenoe betweenNew-York and Paris is hardly less marl.ed.fhe style ol electioa appeals varies ia the hun¬dred or more daily papers of the Frenoh capital.bnt nooe of them give themselvos up to politic*aa an American journal does in a similar crisis.The _ateat joke. of the boulevard is printed in

biggar type than the latest lampoon on tbefbaaaji eandittate, There are few reports bfjneeches, few letter*; no Interviews. Yesxerday'sreoep.on at the Acadeniy, when Acrmiral Juriende la Graviere took possession of his fauteuil,is the most ooaspdeuous article ia mnny of to-

day*** leading paper*. The " Debats" devotostwelve eolumns to the Academy and about threeto the election. Feuilletens, theatrical gossip,racring news and social itx-tns flll quite as muchapace as uMtal in moat papers. There is not

mnch serlous discussion; perhaps beeanse thereare not many serious journals. There is a littleahcet published here claiming some connection*«ith your neighbor ** The Herall,'' mostly fillodv.ith gossip, which triea to take itseif serioushr.It discoursos on the election, opposea GeneralBoulanger, and advooates the introduetion ot

ihorthorns into France with equal cnergy. Someof the ablest Freneh papers are neutral; yetthe Republie is in danger. cry Republicans. Howcan anybody bo neutral.'. He who is not forua is against us.

Well, the Republie is no doubt in some danger,but not priuianly from Goneral Boul..n.r.r, nor

anybody who thought General Boulan-.er had in

him the sfcuff of a dict.ttor, or even af B constitu-tloaal leader. He has behind l.im t!.e Bona-l_artlst«, the Orleanists, and an unavowed coalitionof people who call themselves Cotiservativea, bc-

the Thinl Empire. No man has yet explained howthia ii* to be done. Thero are in Franee twoknowa ways of effecting a revolution. The armycan make a revolution; and the mob of Paris canmake a re~o.nt.on. The man who wishes, in

Napoleonio phraae, to rtave society, ean Mtve itif ha has tha atny behind him ; or if he haa Pariswith him. General Boulanger has *******>.

PerhapB none of them is worth much The wholeDepartment will poll al.o-it 400,000 voies. Of

these, not more ihim 109,001 are prop-ri;hr*rvative, and General Boulanger mu*t, therefore,draw more than another 100,000 from tho Re¬publican ranka to win. It ia not clear how he is

going to do iL M. Jacques has the stipjiort of

the Munieipal Councii, which usui-lly controls theRadi-al vote. He, too, is a weak oandidate; a

good man of buslness, of no politieal experience,If Genoral Bonianger be not the mau to att.i

Rapublio, neither is M. Jaeqtiea the man to dafaO-li! He was selected as the least likely to ofT.-ndanybody, but he Is too radical for tha Con-e'va-tivea and too eonaervativc for tbe extntne Radi-aato. These gentlen.en are suppotwl to intead leplay an Anarehist part What General Boulanger'sfriends say is that tie Commuuisu and other Red*will vote for Goneral Boulanger in order to give a

tlaj. ia th. face to M. Floquet for not being redenough. That ia what in Franee the/ call serlouspolitics. It ia the poiiti _ of the _.i_rs<-r..Moat of the peopl- arbo dwell in what may be

called the foreign quarter of Paris bebeve "r sayGoaeral Boulanger will be ek-cted. Mcrchanta,

Bhopkeepexs, hnnkers and the amiable old ladkawho scll you papcrs in the, lcitwques on the houle-vards are all of this mind. Repuhlicans hlgh upin politlcs admit that tha contPKt is likely to bcclose, but they predict that General Boulanger willbe beatrn. There is mueh talk of disturbancea.The Boulangiste puhlish horriblc accounts of riotsto be provoked by the police themselves in orderto arre.t Boulangist. eleotors. There are, I sup-pose, peopie who believe these talcs. G. W. S.

[ar TELKoaxnt to thb tkibo*.*--]Indianapolis, Jan. 25..The defalcation of Jo¬

seph A. Moore is much larger than the estimatelast night. Half a million dollars is the amountof his stealing from the Connecticut Mutnal LifeInsnrance Company alone- Ho bandlcd moneyfor a dozen or more other companies, and Wohtirusted wlth funds for investment hy a numberof capitallsts. 'fhe amount of hia pccnlationswiil uot he accuratcly known for some time, butit may reach $1,000,000. He remains ot hishoms in this city, and derL.res that be willneither run away nor commit suioid^. A report- r

of ¦ The Indianapolis News* sacoeedod in indm-ing a servar.t to convey to him this morning a

note that it would probably be greatly to hisinterest to make a statement regnrding some ofth* runiors that were in circula_ou about hisaffaira. In reply he gave orders to admit thereporter. He was found in a darksntrd room, ly-ing upon the bed, apparently in great diatress.II* was told that it was reported that $100,000placed in the care of his safety de rosit companyby Indianapolis people had been lost. Ile was

emphatic in declaring that the rumor wm falscand that his ruin would hring no loss to citiaensof Indianapolis.

" When did your ftnancial troubles begln f" hewas asked.

" They date back to little more than eight yearsago. In 1879 a law was passed prohibiting for¬

eign corporations from bringing sait in the FederalCourt Thai dcatroyed my businans. Ju~t be¬

fore that, a short time, l had gone lnto hnnkruployand an intimate frierd, who had indorsed my

paper, was n heavy loser. I always consideredthat I was in 1 nor bound to repay him. and It

waa in an attempt to do that that my presentfinancial troublcs really began. I had no btand yet had heavy running exi>»nses,and at the aarae

time was striving to repoy my fWend money he hadlos* by me. Then there was another cnuse of

anxiety that almost drove me ine-ne. I had lentgreat sums of money for the eompany I repro-sented, taking real estate seeurity. After ilrepanic the borrowers wer* unable to pay off the

mortgages and property fell back on our hand*.It had depr-'.iated greatly in value. I f.-lt myselfmoro or less at fault in havlng placed the latns so

t«adly, tliough in reallty I had done tlie best Icould. I was extremely senaftive on this pointI saw the company losing thousands of dolla. on

BEEAKFA8T IN A BOARDINOHOC6EThere was a wholesale poiaoning at Mrs. C. Stowart'*

boar_lng-hot_e, at No. 29 Cottage Place. yesterdaymovnlng. Elght peopie were made lll by some lr-rltant polson, among tham belng four policemen ofthe I_onard-st. station. Ihe polsonlng took placeat the breakfast table, at about 7 a. m. Mra. Stowarthas Beventeen boarders, and they all sat down tobreakfast. Inslde of twenty mlnutes after the boardersgot through catlns, elght of them beca _e deathlyslck. They wer* N'orman Sheldon, Martin Handy,Abraham VanTassell and Patrick O'Brien, all-police-men, and Mary Reagan, Sarah McCabe, James Loweand one other man, who left the house and his name

I* not known. Offlcer O'Brien started for the stationhouse immedlately after breakfast, and was takenatck on tha way. He had a vlolent paln ln theabdomen and vomlted at ahort intervals. He wenton post, but after two hours of Intense agony hewaa compelled to glve up, and went to tbe station houseand told the sergeant that he had suddenlybecome lll from some unknown cause. He was attbls tlme so weak that he couid hardly stand, andan arabulanco was suromoned and he waa taken to theChambors Street Hospltal.

Whlle O'Brien was suffertng in the street his cora-

rades who had remained were -lmlUrly attackedand the quiet boardlng-house was speedlly trana-formed Into a hospltal. The maJady was manlfestedIn the same way ln all thoso who were affected. It

began with an intense burnlng ln the stomaoh, andthls was soon followed by severe palns, vomltlngan.l vlolent, spasmodlc retcbtng. Mlss Reagan Is a

saleawoman and she went to her place of buslness.Th_ symptoms were not as marked In her case, but

ahe suffered all day long from nausea. Offlcer

Handy, as soon as he felt the slekness eomlng on

sent to a nolghboring drug-store for an emetle, andwas soon relleved. Van Tassell. Sheldon, Lowe andMlss McCabe suffe.ed all day long and were conflnedto their befls.

Police Surgeon McCjovern attended the slck board¬ers. They were all ln an apparently critlralcondltion when he was flrst called. The attacksof vomltlng were followed by great phy-stcal depre_1on and weaknes, and the doctor

suspected that Paris green had been taken.Thls was subsequently provcd to be incorrect. The

lymptoma all polnted to an IrriUnt polson of some

.ort, and the usual antldotes were glven. Dr. Me-

Oevern remained wlth tho patient. for several hours

untll they were out ot danger. As soon a* the doc¬

tor got «me he made a careful lnvestlgatlon to _s-

eover tbe nature of tho polson. anu came to the con-

Aluoiigh there was nothlng to indlcate th»* the oat

flakes were adulterated, yet every one who ato any ottho materlal was potsoned. The boarders who did not

ISMfe tlm stuff were not affected In any way. The

tnllfc ln wblch Uie flakes were eaten was all right.Dr. MrGovern took a sample of the. oat flakes andwlll have a ciemieal analysls made. and untll thts a*
